Any list of the 'best' "Law & Order" quotes that doesn't include the below quote is invalid:
[Jack McCoy] "Speak up, Your Honor: there's some people in the Bronx who didn't hear you."
“If I was kidding you. I’d be wearing a fez and no pants.” —Lenny Brisco
if ``so your dad gave you this is isue of Rape Man a comic about a superhero who rapes`` isnt on there ill be pissed.
its not.
Brisco’s and Munch’s lines are the best.
Two more to add:
Jack McCoy : If you hadn't stolen his money, that murder would never have taken place.
Willard Tappan : I concede your point. If things were different, they wouldn't be the same.

Jack McCoy: (quoting Chinatown) She's my sister...she's my daughter
(The Taxman Cometh)
“O-R-G-A-S-M”
Pretty random list, although that first Ben Stone quote is one of my favorites.
