Law & Order, season 9

[after Abbie Carmichael has a seven-year-old boy arrested without consulting McCoy] I hear you're adding a children's wing to Death Row.

McCoy: I could probably get an indictment for manslaughter. Carmichael: Manslaughter?! They never gave that baby a chance. They faked an identity for her. They never told anyone she needed medical attention. Schiff: I don't see any intent here to kill this baby. Carmichael: It's depraved indifference. Murder-2. They knew the baby was going to die. They didn't care one way or the other. Schiff: Assumption. Charge them with Man-one. Carmichael: We send a message that it's sort of okay to kill a baby? This isn't a couple of teenagers who killed their newborn because they were scared. These are two adults who went to a lot of trouble to dump a dying child and to cover their tracks. I may be the new kid here, but to me this sounds like murder.

McCoy: They'll be pariahs for the rest of their lives. Carmichael: They lose a few friends. That's your idea of justice? McCoy: 3-6 years in a state prison is not a cake walk. How many drug dealers got a free pass from you? Carmichael: The ones who could give me someone bigger in return. All the Connerys have to offer is their plea-bargained remorse. She's still trying to blame it on Kostov. Did you see her husband cut her off? McCoy: She's the least culpable of the 3. Carmichael: [exasperated] Oh, gentlemen, please! That sorry excuse for a woman has a hole in her soul. Schiff: That's enough. McCoy: I can take care of myself, Adam. Schiff: Then remain objective. It was Edward Connery's actions that directly caused the little girl's death, and he's an attorney. He knew what he was doing. McCoy: The Connerys will never do this again. Kostov has and will, over and over again. Schiff: Are Kostov's children better off in the new homes? Carmichael: All but Marianna. [beat] I have a solution

Carmichael: Man-1 all around. I'll start working on the pre-sentencing reports. Any suggestions? McCoy: You mean who should spend more time in prison? Kostov or the Connerys? Don't get me started. Carmichael: We can always skip the report and take no position. Leave it to the judge. McCoy: Let's do that for the sake of world peace. Carmichael: The Warings filed a petition to get their son back. We have until the end of the week to file our objections. McCoy: Can you and I agree that we're too busy? Carmichael: [beat] Deal.

Good old Ray-Ray. The trick was giving him a number he couldn't forget. Three. Rhymes with "squeegee".

McCoy: Your first death sentence. You OK with it? Carmichael: I only have one thing bothering me. Ray-Ray, the squeegee man? The cops told him which one was Fortelli. McCoy: I know, I told them to. Perfectly legal. We were never going to use the identification at trial anyway. Carmichael: Legal or not... McCoy: Major felonies, Abbie. Welcome to the bigs.
