- Ed Green: Come on, Stu, it's just a swab.
- Stuart Arlen: It's just fascist and unconstitutional.
- Ed Green: Well, if you're innocent, what's the big deal?
- Stuart Arlen: Oh, come on. Don't play that game with me.
- Detective Joe Fontana: It's no game. Trust me.
- Stuart Arlen: Is that a threat?
- Detective Joe Fontana: Why, no, Mr. Arlen, that's not a threat. A threat would be more like... If you mouth off to us one more time, I'm gonna break your jaw. And when you're on the ground, I'm gonna kick you in your ribs until you spit blood, you cheap shyster. That would be a threat. This is more like a request.
- Alexandra Borgia: To ask every male who was on the premises between 10:00 and 1:00 for his DNA seems invasive.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: You can ask for anything you want, as long as it's voluntary.
- Alexandra Borgia: Voluntary? "Excuse me, sir. I was wondering if you'd give up some saliva so I can figure out if you killed Jackie Ogden. Now, you don't have to say yes, but if you don't, I'll assume you're a suspect and make your life a living hell."
- Anita Van Buren: How long have you been doing this?
- Alexandra Borgia: All I'm saying is, I think there are some significant Fourth Amendment issues.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: All I'm saying is we're out of leads and this is a strategy that makes sense...
- D.A. Arthur Branch: If you've got any faith in the Man Upstairs... now might be a good time to cash in a chip.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: [quietly] Already did.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: Be careful, Detective.
- Detective Joe Fontana: [rises off the bench and gets in Jack's face. With quiet menace] You work your side of the street, McCoy. I'll work mine.
