“Wicked Game” quotes from Law & Order

Who found the body?

[pointing to the witness] She was walking to work and saw the fancy trunk. Tried to wheel it off, realized there was something inside, opened it up. She wasn't expecting to find a bare-assed dead dude, that's for sure.

Mama always said you see something in the street, leave it be.

I can't believe what I just heard. What is this, 1954? Kickin' a kid out because you think he "chose" to be gay?

[about Swanson] He would tell me to take off my clothes, and he'd tell me to pretend like I was his... servant. He would use a different word, of course, but I refuse to say it out loud. Then, ah... he would tie me up, and start to shoot me up with meth.

He would just just watch you get high? That was exciting to him?

No, man, it was way more screwed up than that. It was like he would walk your ass up to Heaven's gates and decide whether you would get to live or die. Sick son-of-a-bitch thought he was God, or somethin'.

[to Maroun] You'll never convict me. You know that, right?

Swanson is a very dangerous, evil man.

But, at the moment, he's still a very well-respected, very well-connected businessman, with ties to some of the most influential politicians in the country. Not to mention he supported my opponent in the last election. So, he'll claim we're biased, that this is all payback.

What are you saying?
