Quotes 

• Detective Robert Goren : Your girls. They go to Mary Hill. That's ten, fifteen thousand a year for each. How do you afford it?

  Terry Randolph : If something's important enough, you find a way. We're very frugal.

  Detective Robert Goren : [chuckles]  Oh... oh... My partner's a, a miser. I'm frugal. And neither of us could afford a house, two kids in a private school...

  Terry Randolph : You're not that frugal. You buy nice clothes. Pay full price; nothin' in your size is ever on sale. You buy good-quality accessories, like that leather case. You're not married, so you spend money on dates. You like good food. You have someone in to clean your apartment every week. You're smart, have lots of interests and hobbies, and you spend a fortune on them. I don't wonder that you don't have money for a house; I wonder how you make subway fare, the way you spend money.

• Detective Robert Goren : [Boston accent]  Actually Randolph...

  Terry Randolph : Detective, I'd like to be refered to by my rank.

  Detective Robert Goren : [salutes, sarcasticly]  Cluster, Sargent.

• Terry Randolph : [about Goren]  There's nothing innocent about that baby face.

• Terry Randolph : ...Don't suffer future pain, take care of business here and now

• Benito : Terry... Chill

  Terry Randolph : You chill moron, you're late

  Benito : Come on... I got detention

  Terry Randolph : You'll get permanent detention, if you don't wise up. You're a day late, so now let's go

  Benito : I got it... I got it... That's my working capital

  Terry Randolph : That's a fine you pay for trying to duck me amigo

  Benito : Damn lady, you're not even a real cop

  Terry Randolph : But you're a real dope dealer and I am a badge and I have the authority to arrest you, pacify you and mess you up and that's before I turn you over to the real cops. You and your colleagues live and breathe at my pleasure... remember that
