"You and Harlan were "drama mamas", you shared a love of twisting the knife into one another. You see, I don't believe he would have slipped it in halfway. No, no, no. I submit Harlan told you everything."

"I think it means that our father finally came to his senses and cut this worthless little brat out of his will. (to Ransom) So I guess you're gonna have to sell the Beamer and give your notice at the country club and kick whatever fashion drug you're on, because if you think that after all the bridges you've burned, after all the shit you've said and after everything that you've put this family through for the past ten years that any of us are going to support you, that any of us are going to give you - like DAD liked to say - "a single red DIME", you're NUTS!"

"But the complexity and the gray lie not in the truth, but what you do with the truth once you have it."

"Physical evidence can tell a clear story with a forked tongue."

"You have a regurgitative reaction to mistruths."

"Why is grief the providence of youth? I don't know. But I'd imagine that age deepens all feelings."

"It's a weird case from the start. A case with a hole in the center. A donut."

"I suspect foul play. I have eliminated no suspects."

"The best judge of character is a dog. I've found that to be true."

"I spoke in the car about the hole at the center of this donut. And yes, what you and Harlan did that fateful night seems at first glance to fill that hole perfectly. A donut hole in the donut's hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the donut hole has a hole in its center – it is not a donut hole at all, but a smaller donut with its hole, and our donut is not whole at all!"

"Oh they're my family. I feel simultaneously freed by and supported by them, that balance of opposites is the nugget of Flam."

"Nothing brings a family together like murder."

"[telling other cops about an arrest] I don't know what this guy's on, but he just sits there with a shit-eating grin on his face! So, fuck it. I figure I've got to straighten him out a little bit. So l say, "You've got a right to remain silent as long as you can stand the pain." There's nothing. Not a fucking dent. Not a fucking dent! I decide to fingerprint him in the back room, He pulls away from me, He's a big motherfucker. He's 6'3" or 6'4". He starts yelling, "You fucking harp, this! You fucking harp, that!" I say, "Mr. Calabrese, don't upset me now." I go to put his hand on the printer. He pulls his hand away he says, "You can't print me! I'm made!" He throws the fucking ink pad! And I'm standing there and I'm looking at my new light-blue jacket. I've got ink all over my fucking white shirt. He just ruined my fucking jacket. I'm seeing red. I'm pissed, right? I'm going to get that motherfucker! I grab him by the ass and the neck and very quietly I say "All right, you guinea, you bought it." I threw the fucker out the window! Threw him right out the window. He goes right through the wire mesh, out the window. Now remember, this guy's stoned so he thinks he's gonna die. He thinks he's on the second floor, and he goes... Shits his pants. He shit his pants. He wasn't hurt too badly. It was the ground floor. He had some cuts, that's about it. Now, we gotta go get the guy and he smells. We bring him in the back. I'm going to take him in. I take him back to print him and I make him put his hands down in his pants and he gets some of that shit on his fingers. I say, "Mr. Calabrese, we ain't got no more ink pads. You've got to use your own shit." No more out of Mr. fucking Calabrese! [All the other cops laugh]"

"[to Al Reilly, about Kevin Quinn] He's a prick. He's a racist and an anti-Semite and a prick. He wants to be Tom Dewey, and he will be. He married for politics and all he can see is way clear to God knows how high up. Years ago, when we still had executions in the state, he used to volunteer as a witness. Yeah, his first murder case, uhh he was a young A.D.A. then and I'm talking years ago... The case was shaky, circumstantial and he wanted a recommended death penalty from the jury. Before he was finished, he had them believing that poor black kid raped their mothers. He goes up to Sing-Sing for the electrocution. And the next day, we're sitting around, drinking coffee and he walks in with this grin on his face and someone says "Hey, how did it go?", he says, casually, "He fried!" and then he says, "I sure hope he was guilty!" and he laughs! Fuck him! Now and forever!"
