Quotes 

• Detective Ed Green : Mrs Wagner, we need to know where you were on Sunday night.

  Clarissa Wagner : Uh, my husband and I were looking for a house in Greenwich. Well, no point in staying in the city humiliated.

  Detective Ed Green : Humiliated?

  Clarissa Wagner : Now everybody knows that Chloe didn't get into Knowles, so we have to go someplace else and start over. It's a shame, because we'd just finished putting Botticelli's Primavera on our bedroom ceiling.

• Clarissa Wagner : For months we worked like maniacs to get Chloe into Knowles. Extra tutors, the interviews, the tests...

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Sounds like a lot of stress.

  Clarissa Wagner : Valium helps.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Not on you; on your daughter.

  Clarissa Wagner : Well, you're never too young to learn how to cope.

  Detective Ed Green : It's only kindergarten.

  Clarissa Wagner : It's not just kindergarten - it's the rest of her life. The right prep school leads to the right college, the right job, the right career, the right husband. It's a carefully calibrated ladder. And if you miss a step - excuse me, that's the caterer, I'll be right back.
