Quotes 

• Lt. Bert Samuels : So, what kinda case is it?

  Christine Cagney : She was raped.

  Mary Beth Lacey : We're gonna run his name through BCI.

  Lt. Bert Samuels : She knows his name?

  Mary Beth Lacey : Well, she was on a date with him.

  Victor Isbecki : [while reading the notes of the case]  Met him in a bar. Took him home. You know what this smells like to me? A one-night stand that never called back.

  Ronald Coleman : Sure. The chick get's upset. Turns him into the cops. Is that revenge?

  Paul La Guardia : Classic "Woman scorned" and all that.

  Mary Beth Lacey : Paul! The woman was raped. Read your penal code: "Sexual intercourse without consent."

  Victor Isbecki : Hey, don't be so literal. What do you think us guys are? Mind readers or something?

  Christine Cagney : What do ya mean?

  Victor Isbecki : Hey, women always say "No". Sometimes they mean "Yes", but usually they mean, "Maybe". Am I wrong?

  Mark Petrie : I think you're over-generalising.

  Ronald Coleman : I think the man knows what he's talking about, all right?

  Lt. Bert Samuels : Do you know who Thelma's most famous hero of all time is? Rhett Butler. So romantic, she says. So how come when Rhett Butler throws Scarlett down on the bed, that's romance, but when some poor slob does it, that's rape?

  Mary Beth Lacey : With respect, sir, if you don't know the difference between rape and romance, then you've got a serious problem.

  Ronald Coleman : Is it her time of month or what?
