Quotes

Lennie Briscoe: Who's she, the new community affairs liaison?
Anita Van Buren: (avoiding the question) No. What do you have?

Anita Van Buren: Title seven -- they promoted a white woman with the same score on the exam. I have the seniority.
Lennie Briscoe: I'm sorry we asked.


Mr. Tobak: This is an outrage! Dr. Nasser is not a peasant fleeing Cuba with a St. Christopher medal and two goats.
Anita Van Buren: I'm sure he's a respected member of the medical community in Egypt, but he'll have to be detained until his visa status is cleared up.
Mr. Tobak: Are you suddenly a federal official, Lieutenant?
Anita Van Buren: The INS is on their way over, you can discuss Dr. Nasser's release with them.


Jamie Ross: He's an OBY/GYN.
Jack McCoy: That's a few organs away from a cardiologist... I wonder why he lied to us.


Mrs. Newman: Alison bought a little makeup kit and asked Kim Buckner how to use it.

Mrs. Newman: No. Nari went over to Kim Buckner and yelled at her, called her a slut. Now, she is one, but that's not the point...

Jack McCoy: The one who returned those two kids back to their crackhead mother?
