Kincaid quotes from Law & Order

[after a phone call] Tunney has been out on the streets since 4:00 this afternoon.

Schiff

What?!

Where's our notice?

Some clerk's dog ate it!

There are exigent circumstances here. Tunney could be pulling the trigger while we're talking.

If he's your killer. Mr. McCoy's motion made the point that one of these murders was committed while Mr. Tunney was in jail.

By a copycat, and he's not linked to the killings that Tunney's charged with.

I suggest you take your argument to the appellate division.

Because you won't admit you made a mistake?

Keep up that tone, Mr. Stone, and I'll put you in contempt.

[worried] Ben...

You'll jail me, and you won't jail a mass murderer?

Ben! I'm sure Judge Rodriguez will hear an appeal expeditiously.

We don't have time for that.

We can get an order in half an hour. I used to work for him.

Fine.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Give her a raise, Ben. You were about to walk out of here in cuffs.

[after Danielle Keyes beats a guilty verdict on appeal] Is there ever a point where this actually stops bothering you?

[sighs] No, there really isn't.

This whole story plays both ways. The father had accidents. The son was abused, or it was the other way around. But the father's not here to defend himself, so the jury could give this kid a college going-away party.

Schiff

Kills his father, the mother defends him. Doesn't the sister have a stake in all this?

We scheduled her for a statement. She didn't come in. Should I try again?

Why? She didn't say anything before, why would she start now?

Schiff

Before, her father was just bruised. Now, he's buried.

Schiff

If Manning swears the theory is useless, you've gotta prove that it isn't. Now, what the hell's the theory?

That protons eventually fall apart.

Schiff

Is this something I need to be worried about?

It means that all matter in the universe will eventually disintegrate in a certain way.

Schiff

Terrific. Now all we gotta do to win a larceny trial is prove how the universe ends.

Arnette Fenady applied for custody of Wendy Sylvester.

Schiff

She must be crazier than we thought.

No way a court grants her application.

Schiff

No way she was supposed to be acquitted, either.

What kind of mother could she possibly be?

For Wendy's sake, I hope a good one.

Shoots a man, pushes him under a truck? I've heard of overkill, but this is ridiculous. Can we get a plea here?

Not guilty.

Bail application?

My client has strong ties to the community.

And another community 12,000 miles away.

Your Honor, my client is a citizen.

"Give us your tired, your poor, your vicious." Miss Kincaid?

Due to the risk of flight, Your Honor...

Thank you. That's all I need to hear. I'll give this citizen his rights. He's remanded without bail.

Schiff

What is the matter with this girl?

She's obviously in love, desperately.

McCoy

As much as she is in denial.

Can you blame her? Every aspect of her life was controlled by her mother, almost to the point of cruelty. Martell was her window to the outside world.

McCoy

Not to mention that sleeping with him was a wonderful way of saying "Happy Mother's Day".

She's asked that her sentence to be delayed until she gave birth. She said she didn't want her child to be born in prison.

McCoy

Probably the safest place for the child.

Schiff

By the time she gets out of prison, the kid should be able to defend itself.

McCoy

Rule #1: Never drink at work. Rule #2: Never discuss work while drinking.

They've overturned the verdicts and remanded for a new trial. Evidence of the Mack Rangers is excluded.

McCoy

Rule #3: If Rule #2 is broken, never drink alone. [hands Kincaid a drink]

McCoy

Not coincidentally, he's the one who assured us of the school's full cooperation.

Instead, the school circled the limos to keep the Barclay name out of it.

Schiff

I'm shocked.

McCoy

This isn't stink bombs in the boy's room, Adam. They hindered prosecution of an A felony.

Schiff

Now I'm very shocked.

Schiff

Palley's girlfriend is married?

The police didn't tell us.

Schiff

Don't you work here too?

McCoy

If I were Palley, I'd want to give the jury an alternate theory of the crime.

Blame the husband, blame the Mafia, blame the bogeyman.

Schiff

Sometimes the bogeyman is guilty.

You want my testimony? You drop the laundering charges completely, and I get blanket immunity for anything that I say that might tend to incriminate me.

That's ridic-

McCoy

You got it.

[to his attorney] You should be payin' me.

Schiff

Danielle Melnick. She ought to have you on retainer. Dig up this other crime, it strengthens her case.

McCoy

I get it. I was supposed to ignore the fact that Leslie Harlan shot up a liquor store.

Schiff

It answers the unanswered question of why the girl didn't try to escape.

If it really was because Trapp forced her to act like a criminal, why didn't Leslie tell us about it?

Schiff

Because she knew that you'd try to use it against her. Now, look what you tried to do with it.

McCoy

Look at what her lawyer did do with it.

Schiff

She's not as smart as her lawyer. You are.

So, do you think Danforth will keep it in his pants next time?

McCoy

[pause] Probably not.
