Quotes
-
Detective Mike Logan : You see, Miss Gunther, you being such a pro-life activist and all, we're wondering why you showed up at a clinic asking about ending your pregnancy.
Nancy Gunther : I never said I wanted to do that.
Detective Mike Logan : You never said your real name, either.
Nancy Gunther : [smiling] A lot of people give false names, it's very personal.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Mm-hmm: you gave a false name but you picked up a real one: Eileen Reed. The only people they tell the doctor's names to are the patients.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, you called and made an appointment with her but you never showed up.
Nancy Gunther : I changed my mind. I'm keeping my baby.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : [disbelieving] You were always gonna keep it, weren't you? You asked for the last appointment of the day so you'd know exactly when she was leaving the office.
[leans forward]
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Who'd you tell, Nancy?
Detective Mike Logan : [firm] If you told the shooter, that's conspiracy to murder.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Better help us out, Nancy or you're gonna be raising your baby in a cell block at Bedford Hills.
Nancy Gunther : [unruffled] If that's God's will.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : She's got nothing to say, she asked for a lawyer.
Detective Mike Logan : Hey, let's arrest her for murder, that might motivate her.
Lieutenant Anita Van Buren : It's not enough to hold her, her lawyer will say the missed appointment's a coincidence.
Detective Lennie Briscoe : [computer beeps] Oh, how's this for a coincidence? That protest in Schenectady where she was arrested, 27 people were taken in, including her and Harold Malcolm.
Detective Mike Logan : [surprised] What, the guy who shot the doctor in Buffalo?
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Yeah, two months later. Protest was led by a Drew Seeley of Manhattan.
[smiles]
Detective Lennie Briscoe : Oh, boy, this one's a real nut, defrocked priest, listen to this. The diocese of Schenectady has a restraining order on this guy, he can't come within a hundred yards of any of their churches.
Lieutenant Anita Van Buren : Well, maybe he'll think confession is still good for the soul.
