Law & Order Season 2 quotes

Logan

I'm fine.

Hey detective, you ever hear of the seven stages of grief?

Logan

No.

The first one is "denial".

You know how to read a rap sheet, don't you? Five arrests, three convictions.

Paul Robinette

So you're a loser, so...?

Don Cragen

‘...maybe threaten his old lady.' Too bad he didn't take that route, Marie would have kicked his ass.

Logan

Max is dead. I accept it. But I'll never accept it, you know?

I wish we had a gun...

Mike Logan

I wish I had a girfriend named "Lola".

Paul Robinette

Never seen you like this before.

I have never done anything this potentially stupid before.

His own gun? I love this. So he killed the girl, killed himself, and threw the gun out the window?

Murder Two? Why even have it on the menu? This isn't murder, it's manslaughter.

Stone

So you're admitting she killed him?

No. But if she killed him, it was extreme emotional disturbance, and that's manslaughter.

Stone

I get it. She wasn't there, and if she was there, she didn't kill them, and if she did kill them, she didn't mean to, and if she did mean to, it's because she was upset.

My mother couldn't decide if I was Martha Graham or Helen Hayes.

Cerreta

Who were you?

I was Patty Blaine. So I got out before I wasn't.

So now you're telling me it was an accident and it's still my fault?

Stone

Mrs. Blaine, I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't know what part of your psyche made you force your own flesh and blood into pornography. But yes, I do think Priscilla's death was your fault. Both legally and morally.

But I loved her. She was my life!

Stone

No, she was your daughter. She had a life of her own.

He's psychotic; he's not psychopathic.

Phil Cerreta

What's the difference?

Psychotic is when you believe the doorman was sent from Planet X to put mind control devices in your teeth. Psychopathic is when you blow the doorman away and take out 20 other people while you're at it.

How come every freak in the country lives in New York? Why don't some of you people move to Nebraska?

I'm from Nebraska, sweetie. How do you think I got this way?

I want that reward.

Phil Cerreta

I thought Polesky was your friend.

I'm flexible.

Mike Logan

Crazy, not stupid.

[to a mentally ill witness] Your psychiatrist tells us that you have moments of rational thought. We're going to take care of you, and you're going to go back in there and have one of those moments.

Logan

Let's say it was a mugger. He got scared off before he could get to the money.

Cerreta

Or maybe he just got mad because somebody kicked his box.

Logan

Well, wouldn't you?

Cerreta

Don't you kick my box!
