- Ray Burrows: Do you know your ass from your elbow, detective?
- Detective Ed Green: I know an ass when I see one.
- Clerk: I'm not sure you should be going through that.
- Detective Ed Green: Look, we're dealing with a homicide investigation.
- Clerk: I... I just meant that there might be some sensitive material there.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: That's exactly what we're looking for.
- Clerk: I was referring to the corporate financial information, about the buyouts.
- Detective Ed Green: Buyouts?
- Clerk: Of the other magazines. That's what Mr. Reddick's meetings were about yesterday.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: When was his last appointment?
- Clerk: Uh... that would have been his 6:30 with Legal.
- Detective Ed Green: And that was the last time you saw him?
- Clerk: On his way upstairs. He wasn't very happy; Mr. Reddick didn't really look forward to meetings with lawyers
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: I know the feeling.
- Lieutenant Anita Van Buren: Ain't this something? Black man finally gets a cab in this city and gets killed for it.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Any ID?
- Detective Ed Green: [looking through the victim's wallet] Well, the money's still here, so it's probably not a robbery. Let's see... Thomas Reddick, Pavilion Publishing. CEO.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Hmm. Looks like they publish a string of magazines. News, fashion.
- Detective Ed Green: Well, he's on the other side of the camera now.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: He's on the other side, period.
