Quotes
-

Detective Mike Logan : That's a risk I'm going to have to take.
Captain Donald Cragen : Remember, Mike. Serpico got shot in the face.

[referring to a dirty cop in his former precinct, the 27th]
Captain Donald Cragen : There's a fox in the henhouse. Now Internal Affairs is all over me.

Detective Mike Logan : Listen, I don't know Sammy, you do. Maybe you're too close to him. Maybe I have a better perspective on this.
Lieutenant Anita Van Buren : Maybe you do, or maybe you're still as self-obsessed as you always were!
[she storms off]
Captain Donald Cragen : [sarcastically] Well, she seems like a nice lady.
