Dr. Edward Auster : You solve every case you work on?
Detective Mike Logan : We can tell a felony from a traffic ticket.
Dr. Edward Auster : Look, a patient walks in with a headache. She could have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a berry aneurysm, a retro-orbital tumor... or does she just have a headache? Do you give her an aspirin? Or do you saw open her skull?
Sgt. Max Greevey : You make this speech at funerals?

Sgt. Max Greevey : Look! Someone's lying! Whether it's Gunja Din or Doctor God, we don't know.

Sgt. Max Greevey : '82, my partner and I go into this fleabag SRO to pick up some junkie robber. I'm putting the cuffs on him, his girlfriend comes from out of nowhere, jumps me. We're rolling around, I hit my head on the radiator, it hurt like hell but it's no big deal. A week later I start slurring words, I go see a neurologist, quote, "Top guy in Manhattan". He looks at me and says "I want you in the hospital, I'm gonna do a CAT scan."
Detective Mike Logan : Yeah well, I would definitely freak.
Sgt. Max Greevey : The next day, Dr. God comes in, he says, "You have an inoperable brain tumor in your cerebellum." He said it like he'd said they were serving chicken for dinner. We decided to get a second opinion, I go see another top neurologist. He does another CAT scan, he says "You don't have a brain tumor in your cerebellum, you have a subdural hematoma here." A month later, I was fine.
Detective Mike Logan : Hey, at least they caught the mistake, alright?
Sgt. Max Greevey : Yeah, and when they *don't*, they just *bury* them.

Sgt. Max Greevey : There's a difference in having a couple of drinks, and having a bourbon every five minutes.
Detective Mike Logan : Come on, Max, the kid was exaggerating.
Sgt. Max Greevey : What if he wasn't?
