Quotes[]
- Connie Rubirosa (to McCoy): Did you ever work as a babysitter?
- Jack McCoy: I delivered papers.
- Connie: I had eight regulars from infants to adolescents. Paid for my first car. Rule number one, if you do not watch them like a hawk, something from the floor will end up in their mouth. (holds up a plastic bag of pills)
- Ed Green (to Marlon Cooper): Did you try to take the baby and something went wrong?
- Marlon Cooper: Whoever did this, I'm sure he's remorseful. And I hope he's got a good head start on you.
- Liz Prather (to McCoy): What's on the table?
- Jack McCoy: How can I know that, Ms. Prather when all I've got is a missing child and two supposed caregivers on opposite sides of the truth?
- Jack McCoy: Some people are wired wrong. Ugliest part of our work.
- Connie Rubirosa: It's babies. Babies as fashion . . .
