HMHotel Manager
[seeing bloody sheets on hotel bed] My God, what happened here?
My guess? The miracle of childbirth.
S4 E13Breeder
[carrying out a baby] If he's a day old, call the Guinness Book of World Records.
S4 E14Censure
[to Kincaid, his ex-lover] You weren't my best, but you're proving to be my most expensive.
Your Honor, this is insufficient. The defendant is behaving as if someone else committed this crime.
GGold
You want him on his knees, Ben?
Walter...
JSJudge Schreiber
Judge Schreiber, to you. Now, I've heard all the dodging and weaving I can take on this one. You wore the same robes I do, you know the drill. Now, if you want to dance, you can come back and dance at a trial, so let's hear it. All of it.
S4 E15Kids
While justice must be tempered with mercy, it can never lose a sense of retribution, or it is no longer justice.
PParker
Lennie, it's over. What if it was one of your kids?
I don't know, but there's no statute of limitations on murder. Sweet dreams, pal.
S4 E16Big Bang
If Manning swears the theory is useless, you've gotta prove that it isn't. Now, what the hell's the theory?
That protons eventually fall apart.
Is this something I need to be worried about?
It means that all matter in the universe will eventually disintegrate in a certain way.
Terrific. Now all we gotta do to win a larceny trial is prove how the universe ends.
He's not your typical killer.
He is. He killed somebody.
S4 E17Mayhem
What kind of life is this guy gonna have without ... you know?
Maybe he's got some other life-long pursuits.
Like what? You think he plays the clarinet?
I hope he plays the clarinet.
You know, one of these days I'm gonna pack up a Winnebago.
And go where?
Upstate. New Hampshire.
I spent a year there one weekend.
S4 E18Wager
[about Benny] You think his son knew he was an ass man?
I don't care how close they were. I don't see him bragging to his kid about his latest conquest.
But the guys down at the office are a different story.
[glances at Logan] Tell me about it.
[pause] What?
Benny Williams was never Pat's father. He just happened to be in the room when Pat was conceived.
S4 E19Sanctuary
After twenty years in this office, you'd think you'd have a sense of reality.
Reality? The reality is that no one is willing to draw a line in the sand. Nobody is willing to say that the law is the law. And if you break it, you will be prosecuted: win, lose or draw.
Just once, I'd like to hear someone in this country stand up and say "I did it. I'm the one responsible for my actions, not my television set, and not the color of my skin." And if it makes you feel good to call me a racist, fine. But if you want to know who's really responsible for racism in today's society, take a good look in the mirror.
S4 E20Nurture
[Logan and Briscoe are reading a young kidnapping victim's notebook of poetry for clues about who may have taken her]
[reads from notebook] "Flying away on a giant beast with my suitcase in its teeth."
That doesn't sound like Fenady to me.
Wait a minute. "On leather wings, I fly beyond, on top my friend the pteradon." The flying beast is a dinosaur.
So a brontosaurus did it.
