- [Fontana and Green are questioning the bartender in an obviously mobbed up "social club"]
- Detective Ed Green: If you don't talk, I'm sure Granados will.
- Ivan Kalinov: I thought you don't know where he is.
- Detective Ed Green: Oh, we're gonna find him. Doctors say in his condition he ain't gonna get that far.
- Detective Joe Fontana: [leans in close and whispers] You know what I've got here, tovarisch? Huh? In about ten seconds, I'm gonna start smilin' like a village idiot and peelin' off hundred dollar bills onto your shiny brass bar.
- Ivan Kalinov: What are you talkin' about?
- Detective Joe Fontana: And then my partner here is gonna start droppin' "thank yous" and "tell us more" like there's no tomorrow.
- Detective Ed Green: Which means, if your friends back there ain't deaf, dumb, and blind, you're gonna have a little trouble.
- Ivan Kalinov: Don't... I don't know why he was here. I put him on books as favor.
- Detective Ed Green: A favor to who? Andropov?
- [the bartender is very reluctant to answer]
- Detective Ed Green: Where's Granados?
- Detective Joe Fontana: Here comes the first C-note. Is there anything you'd like us to tell your widow?
- Ivan Kalinov: I'll tell you what I know. There is this doctor...
- Jack McCoy: We find ourselves in the enviable position of having an overabundance of charges and evidence against Mr. Andropov.
- Sam Laval: My client's looking for a big drop-down from the top count, Mr. McCoy.
- Jack McCoy: Let me explain the facts of life, Mr. Laval. We go up the food chain, not down.
