Quotes 

• Sister Sun Ray : Ray made a score off me. He hit $18 on the Brooklyn number Then he come to ask how he should invest that money.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : 'Cause the Sister, she don't just book policy, she's an investment adviser, too.

  Sister Sun Ray : Come for guidance!

• Det. Andy Sipowicz : What she told us is Ray Harvey whacked Emilio Lopez so your friend Joe could keep his job running the Puerto Rican version of the con game that you pull with Forever Young.

  Bluestone : None Forgotten.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : My mistake.

• Lt. Arthur Fancy : Sister Sun Ray says she's got something for you on this.

  Det. Bobby Simone : Yeah? What kind of trouble is she in?

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Took a policy collar.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Yeah, let's chat with her first. I always prefer getting lied to by professionals.

• Geri Turner : Andy, I need to talk to you.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You'll get over it.

  Geri Turner : Please. I know about something bad.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : And I've heard all I'm listening to about body juices and rubber corsets.

• Ray Harvey : I showed back up here on my own cause.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : You showed back up, Ray, 'cause you didn't figure your friends Sam and Madam Sunflower Seed to put you in the middle of this, right? But that just shows you that life can be full of surprises.

  Det. Greg Medavoy : I think that's Sister Sun Ray.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : The fat, Black broad you hit the number with, Ray, then you ask her advice like Dean Witter?

• Lt. Arthur Fancy : Hey, guys.

  Det. Bobby Simone : What's up, boss?

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Uh, this isn't going to be a pleasant conversation, Andy, so I'm just gonna say it to you.

  Det. Bobby Simone : I gotta take a leak.

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : No, don't do that.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : What's going on?

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Well, on that auto-asphyxia case, um, Geri has demonstrated real reluctance to talk with Diane and Jill.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Yeah, and?

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : And, uh... the fly in the ointment on this is, specifically, she wants to speak with you.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : I'm not gonna do that.

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Well, the difficulty here, Andy, is either she speaks with you, or she says she wants a lawyer.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Get her a lawyer, then. We don't do that often enough.

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Diane and Jill both get the impression that Geri's painted herself into a corner on a manslaughter charge, which really isn't appropriate.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : She's gonna wind up throwin' a rubber garden animal at me, or want us both perched upside-down beside each other like bats.

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Well, I wouldn't do that.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : [to Bobby]  Yeah, you see, this amuses you 'cause you don't attract psychotics.

  Det. Bobby Simone : It doesn't amuse me.

  [snickers] 

  Det. Bobby Simone : I mean it does, but I... I realize it's an awkward situation for you.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Awkward? Yeah.

• [before Andy goes in to interview Geri] 

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : Has she been strip-searched?

  Lt. Arthur Fancy : Yeah, yeah. She don't got any weapons.

  Det. Andy Sipowicz : I'm not concerned about weapons. I'm talking about, like, rubber toads and... I don't even know what I'm talking about.
