- Maurice Boscorelli: Justice delayed is justice denied.
- Faith Yokas: Justice? What beating on a... a defenseless prisoner? I don't know if that's what our founding fathers had in mind.
- Maurice Boscorelli: Oooh, so now we only dispense street justice when you think it's appropriate.
- Faith Yokas: What is that supposed to mean?
- Maurice Boscorelli: [to Faith after assaulting a suspect] He knew he was gonna get a beating. I knew I was gonna give it to him and there are rules. I just followed them.
- John Sullivan: You can beat a dog to make it stay, but it's fear, not respect.
- Maurice Boscorelli: Who cares, as long as it's too frightened to bite.
- Kim Zambrano: [to Jimmy] When was the last time you sat down with your son, listened to what he likes to do?
- Jimmy Doherty: Joey and I have a great time together.
- Kim Zambrano: Working on your cars and going to the gym?
- Jimmy Doherty: Hey, he never complains to me about it.
- Kim Zambrano: I guess we'll just have to wait 'til he climbs a tree, won't come down.
