Quotes 

• Shrier : The bullet went in behind his ear at a shallow angle, hit the inside of his skull, and skidded around to the other ear.

  Lennie Briscoe : Boy, that'll clear out the wax real good.

  Shrier : If you don't mind loud noises. The striations on the damaged side of the bullet don't match anything in our files.

  Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, except the inside of his skull.

  Shrier : Which I can't mount on my microscope.

• Estelle Muller : [referring to Jim Shepard]  He's sitting in that hospital room, drinking milkshakes.

  Lennie Briscoe : [disguised as hitman]  I can take care of that: no more frozen treats!

  Estelle Muller : But there's a policeman outside the door. That's why the other man wouldn't try again.

  Lennie Briscoe : Hey, you know how bored that cop's got to be by now? Won't be that hard to distract him.

  Estelle Muller : You're not afraid of policemen?

  Lennie Briscoe : They're underpaid, and, as a group, they're stupid.

  Estelle Muller : [admiringly]  What are you going to do?

  Lennie Briscoe : [heard by Curtis and Ross eavesdropping over wire]  I don't ask you your secrets, do I?

  Detective Rey Curtis : [amused]  He has a way with mature women.

  A.D.A. Jamie Ross : [chuckling]  It's a gift, Detective!

• Lennie Briscoe : So what kind of a job rates a private office in the NYPD?

  Detective Rossi : [bragging]  Liaison between the community relations officers and the deputy chief of administration.

  Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, well, since you're obviously too busy to pursue this old murder case, maybe you could at least tell us where we could find Morelli?

  Detective Rossi : Try Hell. He's dead.
