Law & Order Season 6 quotes

[sarcastically] A tall Black teenager. It figures - he's a criminal and he plays basketball!

Briscoe

Well, we'll check out your chess team next.

McCoy

His first trial, and he knows just enough law to turn it into a circus.

Schiff

A circus? 3 counts of murder? He's taking it seriously.

McCoy

Then why doesn't he plead insanity?

Schiff

Because he's insane!

Schiff

Ruthie Miller? Who's paying her bills?

The British Consulate.

Schiff

Go to tea. Offer her a crumpet.

I never did like chasing my tail.

McCoy

But it's a lot of fun when you catch it.

Heard you did okay last night.

Meatloaf and mash, couple Dr. Peppers.

I would've gone with the pizza. Sausage and pepper.

Maybe I should start over.

I bet you get a real kick outta that.

Now's not a good time to go crybaby, Mickey.

Yeah, right. In your dreams.

McCoy

[about his father] He had things the way he liked them. And, if anybody screwed it up, he had these big, thick hands. Sometimes my mother had to lock herself in the basement.

Son of a bitch hit her?

McCoy

Ten years. I'm still scared of those hands. He smoked like a chimney. Cancer. He'd lay there in that hospital room, with tubes coming out of his arms. They pumped him full of morphine, so he wouldn't know how much he hurt. He didn't know where he was. This tough ... He just lay there. He was breathing, and then he was gone. I don't know why I'm talking about this. I never talk about this. Let's play darts.

Briscoe

You know, it wouldn't be so terrible.

What's that?

Briscoe

If you were my kid.

I guess I should take that as a compliment.

Briscoe

Hey, you're smart, you're pretty, you got a good job, and you don't hate my guts.

Lennie, I doubt your daughter hates you.

Briscoe

Oh, you don't know her, you don't know her. [laughs ruefully] I don't even know her. I never will.

Lt. Van Buren

[voiceover narration over Kincaid's death scene] A crowd of people stood and cheered when he raped her. They were supposedly good people, and they did nothing. Then he beat her to death with a tire iron. And today, the state of New York got its revenge. It's not enough, and it's too much.
