Stone: No. This isn't over. Not by a long shot.

Det. Mike Logan: "You think you know so much about bein' a cop? Why don't you do the investigating?"

Logan: We can tell a felony from a traffic ticket.

Dr. Auster: Look, a patient walks in with a headache. She could have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a berry aneurysm, a retro-orbital tumor...or does she just have a headache? Do you give her an aspirin? Or do you saw open her skull?

Max: You make this speech at funerals?

Fin Tutuola quote:

Det. Lennie Briscoe: Just like the Bates Hotel. They check in but they never check out.

John Munch quote:

McCoy: I think there were mitigating factors.
Serena: Based on what they did, or who they are?
McCoy: They were kids. Kids armed to the teeth and put in a place where, most of the time, they couldn't tell who was for them and who was against them. We need to be careful how we judge.

Jack: "Crackhead logic never fails to amaze me."

Briscoe: First-year guys. Like puppies. You gotta show them the stick before you throw it.

(Looking at a sign that says "Pediatric Oncology")
Briscoe: "Now there's two words that should never go together."

Shambala: [to Di Biasi] You haven't said anything, I trust?

Franklin: I didn't invent the right of sovereigns, Mr. Cutter. I simply defined it.

Cutter: So, you would defend the brutal treatment of American prisoners by the British during the Revolutionary War?

Cutter: Mr. Franklin, what is it about this country that you don't get?

Curtis: "Sounds to me like a hit."
Briscoe: "And a miss."

A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael: “The laws for the rich are different.”

Logan: "Of course. Why should it be easy?"

Lt. Cragen: "You know, these takeover guys, they buy up a company, spit out the bits; people get hurt."

Maroun: That doesn't mean it was right.
Price: Whoever said it did?

Shaw: All these windows, someone must have heard something.
