Jack McCoy : I bought you dinner. I didn't know what you liked, so I got you salad, low-cal dressing...
Abbie Carmichael : Low-cal?
Jack McCoy : Excuse me?
Abbie Carmichael : I burn it, I don't store it... What did you get?
Jack McCoy : Ribs.
Abbie Carmichael : Great.
[takes the ribs]
Abbie Carmichael : Looks good. I'll eat, you graze.

Jack McCoy : Your first death sentence. You OK with it?
Abbie Carmichael : There's only one thing bothering me: Ray Ray, the squeegee man. The cops told him which one was Fratelli.
Jack McCoy : I know; I told them to. Perfectly legal. We were never going to use the identification at trial anyway.
Abbie Carmichael : Legal or not...
Jack McCoy : Major felonies, Abbie. Welcome to the bigs.

D.A. Adam Schiff : Two of New York's finest on Death Row. There's going to be fallout.
Jack McCoy : You think we should have let the Feds take the heat?
D.A. Adam Schiff : We'll know the next time one of us needs a cop.

D.A. Adam Schiff : [after the US district court has ruled that federal plea bargains are illegal] Preposterous decision. Hogties every federal prosecutor in the country. And, thanks to you, we're part of it.
Jack McCoy : The decision will be reversed on appeal. Six months from now. By then Dietrich and the other two will be on death row.
D.A. Adam Schiff : ...or your letter of resignation will be on my desk.
Abbie Carmichael : [pointing to wall of McCoy's office] My longhorn pennant will look good over there.
-
Jack McCoy : [referring to his attempt to invalidate a federal plea bargain] This is my line in the sand.
D.A. Adam Schiff : One phone call from me, this is dead in its tracks.
Jack McCoy : You could do that. I'd refile it as a private citizen.
D.A. Adam Schiff : It's nice to have choices.
