Law & Order Season 1 quotes

There is no fire like passion. There is no shark like hatred. There is no snare like folly. There is no torrent like greed.

I inspect five buildings a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. So I missed a couple of violations, I'm human. You never lost a case, Mr. Stone?

Well, one mistake is human. Two is perhaps a lapse in concentration. Three is stupid, but the same mistake consistently over a period of two years indicates another form of human fallibility here.

Such as what?

Greed?

You lost, Mr. Robinette. This is America. One strike and you're out.

Robinette

That's why we need a warrant.

[laughing] A warrant. Sounds like a fishing license to me.

Greevey

[in a lot filled with exhumed corpses] What have we got so far?

Logan

Masucci's greatest hits.

Call Cragen and tell him to pick up Masucci.

Robinette

I don't give a damn. For spitting on the sidewalk.

You're bluffing.

Logan

Yeah, you're right. We'd be real upset if something happened to a piece of crap like you.

Greevey

From '80 to '88, Beigal made The Post's 50 Worst Landlords list. Last two years, he's spotless.

Maybe he got religion.

Greevey

You ever hear of Don Quixote?

Did you ever hear about David and Goliath? And we have God on our side.

Logan

Katherine Beigel did in ten seconds what we couldn't do for ten years. Put Frank Masucci out of business. Permanently.

Justice is blind, detective. Nobody said it was fair.

Nobody has a 'verbal altercation' anymore, you notice that?

You know, this Chamber of Commerce routine is getting on my nerves.

Logan

Ronald, stupid and tough is a bad combination.

Yeah, well, it works for you, man, right?

Maybe if we knew exactly what you were looking for-

Logan

We wanna know who pulled the damn trigger! 'Cause it sure as hell looks like your Ronnie did it.

[Turns slowly to Ronnie] Tell them, Ronnie

[Smugly] No.

You think you can play this fool game with me?!
