Detective Lennie Briscoe
- 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.
