Yaphet Kotto: Lieutenant Al Giardello

Quotes 

• Al Giardello : This isn't about faith, Frank. It's about friendship.

  Frank Pembleton : [incredulous]  Friendship... yeah.

• Al Giardello : If it's ruled a suicide, his name will come off the board... if it's a murder, it'll be up there all the time... reminding us.

• John Munch : [about a eulogy to Crosetti]  Why don't you just say that he was kind to old women and, uh... dogs.

  Al Giardello : He hated old women and dogs.

  John Munch : G, the whole point of a eulogy is to lie. You're supposed to make the departed seem dearly.
