Quotes

Ed Green: Did Loomis give you a big Christmas bonus this year?

Englander: (cheerfully) Yes, he did. But I still don't know where they went.

Jack McCoy: This wasn't the way to get justice for your son.

Mr. Garcia: How then? Because I don't have money to buy it, like Loomis.

Rebecca Shane: You know, our firm is thinking about expanding. Have you ever considered private practice?

Jack McCoy: Considered it and dismissed it. A long time ago I've accepted my place in the world.

Rebecca Shane: I suppose that's a virtue, although personally, I can't see it.
