Vaughn Armstrong: Sgt. MacNamara

Quotes 

• Toby Ziegler : It's your lucky night, officers. There isn't going to be a report, there isn't going to be an investigation, no one's getting suspended. And no one's filing a hundred million dollar lawsuit against the county that they would almost surely win. But in this room, you're gonna apologize to Mr. Mendoza. And then you're gonna get in your squad car and you're gonna follow us and you're gonna apologize to his son.

  Sgt. MacNamara : Judge Mendoza, we sincerely apologize for our mistake.

  Judge Roberto Mendoza : Thank you.

  Toby Ziegler : Let's go.

• Sgt. MacNamara : [explaining his arrest of Roberto Mendoza for suspicion of drunk driving]  I'm the one that pulled him over, you know. His driving was erratic. Still not entirely convinced he hadn't been drinking.

  Sam Seaborn : Well, you have a problem there.

  Sgt. MacNamara : What's that?

  Sam Seaborn : Judge Mendoza has chronic persistent hepatitis, which is a non-progressive form of liver inflammation. If he'd had enough to drink to blow point one on the blood-alcohol, he'd be dead right now.

  [drinks from coffee cup] 

  Sam Seaborn : This is good coffee.
