Law & Order · Season 1
You solve every case you work on?
We can tell a felony from a traffic ticket.
Look, a patient walks in with a headache. She could have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a berry aneurysm, a retro-orbital tumor...or does she just have a headache? Do you give her an aspirin? Or do you saw open her skull?
You make this speech at funerals?
Isn't it possible that pneumonia killed Suzanne Morton?
It's possible that death rays from Mars killed her. But I don't think so.
Well, people like to believe that medicine is pure science. Medicine is a science. But doctors know it's also a lottery.
We got what we needed from Dr. Simonson.
An intern, Mr. Stone. Are you planning on asking the cleaning lady to testify, too? About the time I threw the tissue into the wastepaper basket and missed?
You know the difference between Auster and a serial killer?
The weapon.
When you practice medicine, Mr. Stone, sometimes the patient dies.
And when you're a lawyer, Dr. Auster, some of the people you prosecute are convicted.
My children want to stay in this country, my wife wants to stay, and to stay, all I have to do is to be perfect all the time!
Well you, uh, fell a little short of perfection on Suzanne Morton's chart.
When they look at me here, they see an Indian or a Paki, but they don't even know the difference. We're all supposed to be bad doctors. You ask anybody. I have to be twice as good as everybody else just so they will think I am as good as everybody else. My children want to stay in this country. My wife wants to stay in this country. And to stay, all I have to do is to be perfect all the time.
Well, you fell a little short of perfection on Suzanne Morton's chart.
Do you have any other personal views on this subject you'd like to air before we walk into court and Ms. Shambala Green hands us our asses on a platter?
What do you want?
I'd like someone around here to stay on one side of the issue for ten seconds!
You said 'Here's your taste'. Sounds rather cool!
We're not talking about 'Squeaky' Fromme here.
Why are we bustin' her chops?
That the way you see it?
Looks, 2 kids jump her on the subway, she defends herself, okay? We're not talking about 'Squeaky' Fromme here.
[to Di Biasi] You haven't said anything, I trust?
Trust and lawyer, that's a pair of words that don't match.
How about cop and I.Q. over 90.
She was attacked down in the subway by 3... youthful offenders. After she recovered, she came to work here.
What was her reaction to the attack?
Same as anybody's. She was fearful, resentful of all the little...
Little what? Little Black bastards? You see some Black teenagers on the train, are you automatically afraid of them, Ms. Maltese?
Aren't you?
