Quotes
-
Ed Green : Looks like Denise Meacham cares for Elliott just about as much as you do.
Lennie Briscoe : Well, he did put her husband in harm's way.
Ed Green : Please.
Lennie Briscoe : What?
Ed Green : As if the dude living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ain't had nothin' to do with it? Same dude who lied to us?
Lennie Briscoe : And you know he lied because...?
Ed Green : I don't see any weapons of mass destruction. Do you?
Lennie Briscoe : Hey, they were there, and you know how I know? 'Cause the daddy of the guy at 1600 sold them to a certain son of a bitch who used to live in Baghdad. That's how I know.
-
Lennie Briscoe : [arriving at a crime scene in a cab] Always a nickel short and a dime late.
Ed Green : What the hell does that mean?
Lennie Briscoe : What do you want from me? It's two o'clock in the morning.
-
Lennie Briscoe : Okay, a shooter nobody saw, a bullet everybody uses, and a guy half the world wants dead.
Ed Green : The EMT says he's probably gonna make it
Lennie Briscoe : Yeah. Only the good die young.
-
Ed Green : Let me ask you something, Colonel. Do you know of any soldiers getting tattoos that say "business is good"?
Lt. Colonel Doug Denton : It's a slogan. Second half of one, anyway. Harcore members of the 81st put it on their left arm.
Lennie Briscoe : Uh-huh. And, uh, what do they put on their right arm?
Lt. Colonel Doug Denton : "Killing is our business".
Ed Green : I can't wait 'till the press gets a hold of this.
-
Lennie Briscoe : Hey, is that Frank Elliott?
Ed Green : Mm-hmm. The one and only. Took one in the back.
Lennie Briscoe : Aw, what a shame.
Ed Green : Hey, man, pretend to be concerned, okay?
-
Ed Green : Hey, Lennie, he comes out this club loaded, he makes it around the corner, somebody starts shooting.
Lennie Briscoe : Anybody see the shooter?
Ed Green : No. Looks like Elliott finally made it to a crime scene before we did.
-
Dr. Binder : Afraid he won't be much help tonight.
Ed Green : He's gonna make it, though, right?
Dr. Binder : Bullet perforated his liver. He managed to seal it off, so as long as it doesn't go septic on us, we should have him stabilized relatively soon.
Lennie Briscoe : We talking hours, days?
Dr. Binder : Mm, best guess, twenty-four, forty-eight hours. He's gonna be in a lot of pain, though. I don't know how long it'll be before he feels strong enough to talk.
Lennie Briscoe : Well, knowing Frank, it won't be that long.
Ed Green : Okay, that's not funny anymore.
