Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : Are you giving me attitude? My father was a cop for 31 years, and he would never leave a DA twisting with a half-made case and ask him to get an indictment.

  Mike Logan : Give me a break. You could get a ham sandwich indicted.

  Jack McCoy : That might be easier. There's meat on a ham sandwich.

• Adam Schiff : I understand you've been promoted from Assistant District Attorney to supreme deity.

  Jack McCoy : I'm not making the decision. It's up to the sister.

  Adam Schiff : Oh, you're just a casual bystander who just happened to find himself arguing against the husband's right to manage his wife's life.

  Jack McCoy : He does have a conflict of interest.

  Adam Schiff : And you don't?

  Jack McCoy : Isn't justice in Mrs. Dobson's interest too?

  Adam Schiff : I don't know the woman. But she might be more interested in staying alive.

• Jack McCoy : The police checked phone records, Dobson's bank account, the store where Robin cashed his welfare checks. They intereviewed Dobson's friends, Robin's friends, the people at the club. They couldn't find any other connection, meeting, conversation between Dobson and Robin. Nothing.

  Adam Schiff : You think it's just a coincidence the killer appeared at a club owned by the victim's husband?

  Jack McCoy : No. But even if I could retry him, I couldn't convict. He didn't leave a trail.

  Adam Schiff : Smart.

  Jack McCoy : Lucky.

  Adam Schiff : Or innocent.
