Randolph J. 'Randy' Dworkin, Esq. : Oh. Silly me. I thought "crucial" meant...
Brian Kellogg : Make a deal.
Randolph J. 'Randy' Dworkin, Esq. : Are you crazy? We've rounded man one and are sliding into man two. That could be eighteen months.

Serena Southerlyn : The courts used a balancing test, and the people's right to know came out on top.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : What about the people's right to watch a rapist-murderer rot?
Detective Ed Green : Uh-oh. Slippery slope time, Lennie.
Serena Southerlyn : Well, Albany stopped the slide for good with a statute that says we can't force a reporter to disclose anything a source tells him in confidence.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : So it's Take a Felon to Dinner Week all year long?
Detective Ed Green : Yeah, as long as you write about it afterwards.

Serena Southerlyn : Dinner?
Detective Ed Green : Kellogg says he had steaks with Maas.
Serena Southerlyn : Yeah? Who paid?
Detective Ed Green : My money's on the guy with the New York Sentinel expense account.
Serena Southerlyn : So what you're telling me is Kellogg knew Maas was a fugitive and aided his escape.
Detective Ed Green : Hold on. You want to charge a reporter with accessory after?
Serena Southerlyn : If it'll help him convince him to help us locate Maas, why not?
