Gov. Donald Shalvoy quotes from Law & Order

Gov. Shalvoy

It's a big state, Jack. Be glad you're only responsible for a small part of it.

Gov. Shalvoy

What the hell are you doing?!

McCoy

Helping to convict a murderer. You have maybe ten days before this goes public. Now go home to your family...

Gov. Shalvoy

My family's none of your business. My personal life is not anybody's business. You worry, Jack. You worry how you're going to get elected without me. It's thanks to me you have this job in the first place. Nobody wanted you.

McCoy

I'd rather be an unemployed lawyer than a well-fed pet.

Gov. Shalvoy

You're a fool. I had high hopes for you.

McCoy

I had high hopes for you! How could you do this, to the people who work for you, the people who elected you? How could you be so reckless with their trust? I respected you, Donald. Respected you.

McCoy

Seems like every day we hear about another corrupt civil servant. Corrupt banker, businessman, athlete. Seems that behind every success story of the last ten years, a scandal is exploding. We're facing a rising sea of corruption. And we wonder who will be the next to be drowned? Who will be saved? And what will become of our good works? When will it stop, Donald, and who will stop it?

Gov. Donald Shalvoy

If you expect me to implicate Rita and jeopardize my family...

McCoy

Your family? They're campaign props you used to get elected. They mean as much to you as balloons and bumper stickers. Your whoring proves it!

Gov. Donald Shalvoy

Be careful, Jack. I'll attribute that to the stress of your campaign. I know you're in a dead heat with Joe Chappell. I also know a few things about Joe, maybe could swing them numbers your way.

McCoy

You're trying to buy me off?

Gov. Donald Shalvoy

You're worried about your good works, Jack. How are you going to safeguard them if you're not in the game anymore?

Gov. Donald Shalvoy

What do you want?

Cutter

Your resignation, Governor, with your reputation, such as it is, intact. Just say you're leaving office to support your wife and family in a time of personal crisis.

Gov. Donald Shalvoy

That wasn't the deal. McCoy said I'd stay in office.

Cutter

I'm not Jack McCoy.
