[about his new partner, Rey Curtis] I've got ties older than him. Some shoes too, I think.

When I was growing up around here, the worst thing that could happen to you was skinning your knee while playing Johnny-on-the-pony.
Yeah, well, I don't remember things being so rosy when I was a kid.
When was that, last week?
If we don't come down hard on Karen Gaines, somebody else'll get the idea that it's okay to turn another courtroom into the O.K. Corral.
And if she gets acquitted, what message does that send? I'm not takin' that chance. You're talkin' to her lawyer.
Your son was convicted of committing violent crimes, isn't that right?
CMrs. Capetti
He wasn't a saint. I didn't say he was. And if he had anything to do with that little girl, then he should've paid by the law! Now, I could live with that, but not with this. [to Karen, furiously] What gave you the right to shoot him like a dog?!
KGKaren Gaines
How can you think for a minute that I would let my own child die? What kind of mother do you think I am?! You don't know what I did for her. For ten years, I stayed in a nightmare marriage just so she could have a real home. I fought for custody for her, but he had more money, more lawyers. He turned me into an addict, and then used it against me! That bastard, he stole her away from me. He told her lies about me. He made her afraid of me. I loved her.
But you hated your husband more.

[Briscoe and Curtis find a murdered college student at a biker bar]
He goes to NYU. I guess he wanted to see how the other half lived.
They don't live for long.
CCaridad
Tommy didn't want to be poor. He just wanted to play poor and screw poor.
IIgor
I don't talk to Spics unless I'm drunk.

QQuinlan
You want my testimony? You drop the laundering charges completely, and I get blanket immunity for anything that I say that might tend to incriminate me.
That's ridic-
You got it.
QQuinlan
[to his attorney] You should be payin' me.
[Brolin finds McCoy eating a sandwich outside the courthouse after Sandig is convicted of Croft's murder]
BBrolin
Tuna fish? Is that how you celebrate a victory?
It's chicken salad. It's not over 'til after the sentencing hearing. Then it's tuna fish.
BBrolin
Well, I wouldn't go planning my menu just yet. [hands the EADA a notice] My motion for a declaratory judgment with Judge Boucher's decision.
Denying it.
BBrolin
Yes. Well, and my appeal and my brief. [hands McCoy her appeal and brief] The way I see it, the New York death penalty statute doesn't even come close to passing constitutional muster.
SSandig
I was so ashamed of what I did to that detective. Do you know why I kept the gun? I was gonna kill myself.
So why didn't you?
SSandig
Because I don't wanna die. I'm sorry, okay? Please ... [sobs] I don't wanna die!
S6 E4Hot Pursuit
You know, Rey, if you ever get laid off, you could have a hell of a career as an egg timer.
Danielle Melnick. She ought to have you on retainer. Dig up this other crime, it strengthens her case.
I get it. I was supposed to ignore the fact that Leslie Harlan shot up a liquor store.
It answers the unanswered question of why the girl didn't try to escape.
If it really was because Trapp forced her to act like a criminal, why didn't Leslie tell us about it?
Because she knew that you'd try to use it against her. Now, look what you tried to do with it.
Look at what her lawyer did do with it.
She's not as smart as her lawyer. You are.

RProfessor Rothenberg
It's a disgrace, McCoy. My client should be home helping his kids with their schoolwork.
I saw the crime scene photos. I know how much his family means to him.
PPeter
But I'm innocent. I didn't kill anybody.
You've already learned the Rikers Island theme song. Good for you.
You got past double jeopardy. You climbed Everest in your shorts on a very cold day.
