Quotes
-
Lt. Anita Van Buren : [asking why Briscoe and Curtis think that Sanderson's death was the result of foul play] What are we going on here?
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Man's intuition. Hey, after a certain age there's two things a guy has, he doesn't want to screw up.
Lt. Anita Van Buren : Uh - his golf swing, and the remote control?
Detective Lennie Briscoe : His heart, and his, you know, "plumbing".
-
Detective Rey Curtis : [referring to his weekend with Ludlow] Nothing happened, Lieutenant.
Lt. Anita Van Buren : [throws up hands] All right.
Detective Rey Curtis : [angrily] You don't believe me!
Lt. Anita Van Buren : Actually I do, Rey. But with women it's not only "Did you jam it to some stray?", it's that you open your heart to her, or even want to. It's the emotional betrayal we can't stand.
