    Mooney: "And now sick as she is, thinking he can throw off my interview technique with..."
    Vincent: "Mike I think we‘re down here."

    Mooney: "Of course they do."

  5. Mooney: "Here you are. You live in the building, you know him a little bit, established that. If he gave you a key you could have tippy-toed down three flights of stairs, you could have raped, stabbed, mutilated that girl tippy-toed back up and we‘re so bereefed of leads here we gotta look at you. Personally, professionally, peripherally."
    Stark: "Detectives in the interest of justice and to abbreviate this conversation I'm going to make it my business to talk to Howard Klein man to man and find out if he hand any collegues who had keys to the apartment, who might have want to use it for their sorted business."
    Mooney: "You‘d do that for us Mr. Stark, you know how nice that is to know that you‘ll be pulling the wagon with us. Let me shake your hand."

    Rosemary: "He‘s stopping by this afternoon."
    Mooney: "Cause she finds some sort of comfort to her. Alright, so you‘ll beep me 911"
    Rosemary: (nodding)

  7. Chris: "Terry, you know the NYPD is all over the place out there maybe you should let them take care of it."
    Maddock: "Maybe we should dial 911 when there‘s a problem in the neighborhood and call the police. Police help us, police help us. Oh God! Please help us police."
    Chris: "I’m just saying you know we got a lot of business going on out here. You sure you want me running around?"
    Maddock: "This is my block and everything that goes on on this block is important to me. Right know Chris your my eyes and ears okay, until I call this over."

  8. Mooney: "We got evidence to discuss."
    Preecher: "What evidence?"
    Mooney: "Or should we wait Special Agent Preecher, let the body count mount?"

  9. Mooney: "I think you know something about Corelli, you may even know who killed him. Which means you may know who killed that door man. Which is one small step from Vicky Thompkins. But you’d rather talk about this Stark and you don‘t want to say why."
    Preecher: "Detective..."
    Mooney: "Nah we‘re going back to the 11th. We‘re going to work like detectives. Now when you guys figure out, you get a thought in your head, your going to tell us the truth about anything, just give us a call."

  10. Preecher: "Did Maddock kill Corelli last night Jimmy?"
    Flynn: "Not impossible."
    Preecher: "Well now he‘s declared himself sheriff of his block and he‘s investigating a bodega robbery. This is our special informant."
    Flynn: "Do you want me to call him and yank him out of there."
    Preecher: "No, I need you to be a witness incase he kills anyone else. While I figure out how to cut our loses and get those to two detectives back."

  11. Maddock a.k.a.. Sheriff: "Billy you‘re going to drink with the Sheriff until the Sheriff finds out everything the Sheriff needs to know about last night."

  12. Tech to Jimmy Watching Surveillance of Maddock: "Must see TV eh Jimmy?"

  13. Mooney: "We‘re back."
    Swenson: "What does that mean Mike?"
    Mooney: "We parted ways with the bureau."
    Swenson: "What does that mean?"
    Mooney: "It means on everything after the Vicky Tompkins homicide, their liars and hold back artists. And for the sake of sanity and effective police investigation we‘ll work the case right here from our desk."
    Swenson: "Oh, Well welcome home, let me get that for you."

  14. Trout: "As far as us leaving the FBI, Mike felt they weren‘t being forth coming about this group of homicides. We feel probably has a hook to our original Vicky Tompkins murder."
    Swenson: "And you realize I‘m sure, interesting as Mike‘s feeling maybe and even if correct, that this isn‘t pick your own desk week."
    Trout: "I think Mike‘s trying to flush‘em out. The bureau is interested in our part of this. This uh... Lawrence Stark we‘re looking at and Mike is trying to force them into the open somewhat about what else is going on"
    Swenson: "That‘s strange because I see Mooney sitting at his desk sulking like Big Bird when the kids won‘t let him play while you describe him more like Henry Kissinger"
    Trout: "Plus his sister is sick"
    Swenson: "Lois... yeah?"
    Trout: "I think it‘s near her time"
    Swenson: "So will uh... let him sit her and cool out. I’ll handle the phone calls."
    Trout: "Thanks boss."

  15. Preecher: "Let‘s stand back Teddy. Let‘s look at the big picture cause we‘re the big picture guys."

  16. Preecher: "I wanted Stark... Teddy, no matter what turns the road took."

  17. Preecher: "Jimmy‘s lost control of Maddock and I signed on to look away. That stops now. I‘ll this crap has to stop."

  18. Maddock to Ricky: "That‘s quite a jacket you got on I must say. How many pins are in that thing? How many pins you got? Maybe I should take them off here and put them some place else. How many do you think I could fit in your balls? Just you know press‘em right in. Why Ricky why?"

  19. Ricky: "Are you gonna kill me? Sheriff please don‘t kill me."
    Maddock: "Were you going to kill me?"
    Ricky: "Nah, No I didn‘t know it was you I swear I didn‘t it was you. They said to cap some guy coming out of a Lincoln I was... he had pastries."
    Maddock: "So you were there to kill the Sheriff?"
    Ricky: "Are you gonna kill me?"
    Maddock: "Who hired you?"
    Ricky: "The Greek. The Greek."
    Maddock: "Alright thanks for coming bye. Thanks for stopping in."
    Ricky: "Do you want me to say anything to him?"
    Maddock: "Yeah, tell him that you tried and you failed and I‘ll take care of any other conversational festivities. Take the dog with you. Hey Ricky thanks for being so bad a that thing you call your life."

  20. Preecher: "Write it all up Jimmy."
    Jimmy: "All being?"
    Preecher: "All being everything Maddock‘s done or might have done since our relationship began."
    Jimmy: "For who?"
    Preecher: "For the U.S. Attorney. Maddock’s thru Jimmy. He‘s in jail or he‘s a cooperating witness but he‘s through as a special informant."

  21. Rosemary (reading Lois‘s thoughts): "You‘ve been the best big brother I could have wanted. On the play ground where ever I was I knew if I looked around I‘d see you watching out. Just how I felt mommy & daddy with their eyes on me if I ‘went off the path‘. She has that in quotes."
    Mooney: "It‘s an expression our dad use to use."
    Rosemary: "Even when I was grown I felt you there with your chin stuck out looking out for your sis. Remember Michael how daddy would get home from work and lye on the floor and we‘d play on him like he was furniture. And if we get off he‘d start waking up and reach for us to climb back on him and then he‘d go back to sleep. I felt as safe in the world because of you as I did with daddy at home. Now I have to die and I’m not afraid. I feel God reaching out to me to climb back on him. And in a long while we‘ll be together again. But now you‘ve done everything you could in this house and you have to go outside. There‘s so much love in your heart Michael. Promise you‘ll share it. I wasn‘t meant to have a family of my own but you are... with someone you love and who loves you in return. Open your heart... you‘ll be blessed with children, I know you will and I can watch them grow. I‘ll watch over all of you Michael. Your loving sis."

  22. Chris: "So who‘s the Greek"
    Maddock: "Dickie Plato"
    Chris: "That guy with the uh... plumbing commercials on radio?"
    Maddock: "That‘s the guy and I‘m just a guy how owns a tavern."
    Chris: "Yeah, so why would he want you whacked?"
    Maddock: "For what‘s involved in every human clip Chris. Someone gets beyond themselves"
    Chris: "So who got beyond themselves you or him"
    Maddock: "First him, then me, then him and it just continues on like that till you cut it off at the root."
    Chris: "Are you planning on cutting it off at the root?"
    Maddock: "Yeah... wanna go for a ride?"
    Chris: "Depends on whether or not I have to go as the gimp deputy."
    Maddock: "As you and I'm going as me."
    Chris: "Yeah, let‘s take a ride."

  23. Jimmy to Sarah: "I was always in the movies or at Terry Maddock‘s bar."

  24. Terry to Lawrence Stark: "You’re the first guy I ever let lie to my face and didn‘t break his jaw. If you till want to kill me you should tell Dickie Plato to sent a man... and you better kill this kid at the same time or he‘s gonna come and kill you."
