Drew Seely : [surprised] What do you mean?

Drew Seely : [firmly] No, I don't.
Detective Mike Logan : Or who talked to Nancy Gunther lately?

Detective Mike Logan : Persuade her how?
Drew Seely : Well, I tried to call her and I sent her some literature.

Detective Mike Logan : So you think that calling her a criminal was going to persuade her?
Drew Seely : Well, nothing else had.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Uh, where were you around noon on Tuesday?
Drew Seely : Ah, well, I was at a conference of the Council On Choice.
