- Assistant US Attorney Bob Gervits: No hard feelings, Jack.
- Jack McCoy: But now it's payback time?
- Assistant US Attorney Bob Gervits: You think that's why I'm going after Sean Russo?
- Jack McCoy: Three days after we arrest him, you convene a grand jury.
- Assistant US Attorney Bob Gervits: Our investigation was in the works long before Russo murdered Gibson. But you want first crack at him, I can wait.
- Jack McCoy: That's refreshing.
- Assistant US Attorney Bob Gervits: Makes my life easier if you convict him. Loosen him up for a plea on my racketeering indictment. Just keep me in the loop.
- Abbie Carmichael: [Gervits walks away] Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but anything less than a murder conviction against Russo, and Gervits looks like he's cleaning up our mess.
- Jack McCoy: You're getting the hang of this, Abbie. But it's not going to happen.
- Stripper: Can you guys make it quick? I gotta cram for my psych exam before the happy hour crunch!
- Detective Rey Curtis: Wouldn't you do better in a library?
- Stripper: Hey: I'm covering my tuition and fulfilling a public service.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Oh, which one's that?
- Stripper: Read the literature. Clubs like this, they boost a man's testosterone level. He leaves here feeling confident. More productive...
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: ...and broke.
- Stripper: Then everybody's happy!
- D.A. Adam Schiff: I just got off with the United States Attorney; she called you an obstructionist.
- Jack McCoy: Under the circumstances, I consider that a compliment.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: You recognize this girl?
- [shows headshot of Kimberly Davis]
- Man working in pizza restaurant: She an actress?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: She moonlights at a hooter bar when she's not playing Lady Macbeth.
- Tom Wilder: My partner told me you were snooping around. He doesn't even want me talking to you.
- Abbie Carmichael: By not cooperating, you only increase our suspicion.
- Tom Wilder: For God's sake, we are just a couple of businessmen trying to make a living.
- Abbie Carmichael: You own a strip club.
- Tom Wilder: Do I look like some degenerate, Miss Carmichael? I would have rather bought the Blue Note. It wasn't for sale.
- Jeff Stahl: Dammit Tom, I'm not moving to Arizona and working in a Kmart.
- Tom Wilder: Don't you get it? It's over. This isn't going to have a happy ending.
- Jeff Stahl: [sighs] I can't believe this is happening.
- Jack McCoy: It's already happened. You made your choices. Now you only have one left.
- Sean Russo: [leaving police station] I want these sons of bitches sued! And this one...
- [looks at Curtis]
- Sean Russo: ... I want his badge.
