Quotes
-
[Lennie has just found out that one of his daughters has been murdered]
Det. Lennie Briscoe : She was my baby, Rey. What am I gonna do now?
Det. Rey Curtis : You're coming home with me, partner.
-
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Hey, you did all right in there, sweetheart.
Cathy Briscoe : Don't you get it, dad? My life is over. I'm not gonna be able to get a job. I'm always gonna be known as the meth addict nurse who stole drugs for her dope-dealer boyfriend.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Why don't you come and stay with me for a while 'till you get back on your feet, huh?
Cathy Briscoe : Dad, please! Did you hear what I just said?
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Honey, people make mistakes and start over all the time. I did.

Det. Rey Curtis : Lady, covering up a felony is a felony.
Mrs. Davenport : You asked me if Sally was one of the girls and I said no.
Det. Rey Curtis : And you didn't think rape was worth mentioning? What the hell kind of place are you people running here?
Mrs. Davenport : We investigate what's been reported. I spoke with the boys, I spoke with Valerie. They said she consented, she said she consented.
Det. Rey Curtis : She told her sister something different.
Mrs. Davenport : Well, maybe Sally heard what she wanted to hear. She's very protective of Valerie.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Isn't Valerie the older sister?
Mrs. Davenport : Valerie's developmentally challenged.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Challenged how?
Mrs. Davenport : She's retarded.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : [exchanging disbelieving looks with Rey] Three boys gang up on a retarded girl and you just say "Oh, okay." What, are you afraid of a lawsuit?
Mrs. Davenport : I'm a guidance counselor, not a cop.
Det. Rey Curtis : So call a cop when you need one!
Mrs. Davenport : When I need one, I will. There was no rape. Talk to Valerie yourselves.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Count on it.

Det. Lennie Briscoe : [to Valerie] They told you it was a game? What game did they say it was?
Valerie Maxwell : Sex
Det. Rey Curtis : And that was okay?
Valerie Maxwell : I told them I couldn't because Dad says sex is for when you're in love.
Det. Rey Curtis : Then what did they do?
Valerie Maxwell : They laughed a lot. They said they loved me.

Det. Lennie Briscoe : So, Randy, daddy sprung for bail, huh?
Det. Rey Curtis : Stand up.
Randy Baxter : Sure. Beats doing squat thrusts for goofing on Fat Frankie.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : [cuffing Randy and his friends] You're gonna have to make bail again.
Det. Rey Curtis : You're all under arrest for the rape of Valerie Maxwell.
Randy Baxter : You're kidding. No way.
Det. Lennie Briscoe : Way, Randy. You're gonna be doing your squatting and thrusting in Rikers. Let's go.

Det. Rey Curtis : How many shots in all?

Det. Rey Curtis : Good enough.
