Has anybody thought they might pair Greene up with Bishop (Samantha Buck, no relation), that cute, intense redhead that Goren was teamed up with earlier this year on L&O:CI when Erbe (and consequently, Eames) was out having her young 'un?

Law & Order 4/21
OK, I think this Bartman thing has gone a bit far if L&O has latched on to it as a sorta "ripped from the headlines" storyline.
I have one questions/rant: the lab woman made a big deal out of assembling a broken bottle from a plaster fragment. I SWEAR that the hottie tech guy from SVU did the exact same thing last season (I even think the rerun of the ep was on recently). Does anyone else remember this or is it a figment of my imagination?
One more thing and I guess I'll put it in spoilers just in case

I just think it's odd that the writers made such a big deal about it. It's a bit like the writers waving their hands in the air and screaming: hey we're canibalizing our on franchise what cha gonna do about it"

Law & Order Season Finale, 5/19 - thanks Jerry Orbach for 12 yrs of Det. Briscoe
Law & Order has certainly slipped but one person who hasn't slipped is Jerry Orbach. Detective Lennie Briscoe - probably one of my 5 favorite television characters of all time. Fortunately, the character will survive into the new L&O: Trial by Jury.
Anyway, consider this a tribute thread to the actor and the character.
Pick your favorite Briscoe quote. Here are the nominations:
Tonight's season finale:
Anyway, consider this a tribute thread to the actor and the character.
Pick your favorite Briscoe quote. Here are the nominations:
1) Lennie: We don't really give a damn about these people looting and bustin' up people's cars. That's not our department. We're homicide.
Suspect: So?
Lennie: So, your friend there is homicidin' somebody.
2) Forensic tech: See the blood stains here? That's type AB negative.
Lennie: Oh good! I got dibs on his liver.
3) Mike (trying to refute a woman's excuse that she doesn't remember the last time she spoke to her ex-husband): You remember the last time you spoke to your ex, Lennie?
Lennie: July 17th, 1994, 2:35 p.m.
4) Mike: Looking for a date?
Lennie (reading from the personal ads): "Open-minded MBBF seeks mature man."
Mike: What's that? Male bisexual bondage freak?
Lennie: I'm more in the mood for a BLT.
5) Divorce lawyer: Do you know haw many matrimonial attorneys were attacked last year?
Lennie: I know one who should've been.
6) (Discussing the parents of a murdered infant):
Van Buren: He's 48, she's 27?
Lennie: My hero.
7) ESU Lt: We have 6 unmatched pairs of shoes, a dozen panties, condoms by the bucketful.
Lennie: Sounds like the back of my first car
8) (Viewing the naked body of a high-priced call girl in the morgue)
Rey: You ever pay for it, Lennie?
Lennie: I was married, wasn't I?
9) Possible suspect (explaining the attractive women in & out of his office): I'm an accountant.
Lennie: Oh right. That's why so many beautiful women come to visit you. My accountant, Manny Loper, has to beat 'em off with a stick.
10) Limo dispatcher, being questioned about one of his driver's clients: This was a model? Good lookin'?
Lennie: Right. Not one of those ugly models.
Suspect: So?
Lennie: So, your friend there is homicidin' somebody.

Thank you, Jerry. Your run on Law & Order has been wonderful, and I've enjoyed ever minute of it. However, you'll always be the dad from Dirty Dancing. Sorry.

Thanks for the years Jerry it's been great.
I know everybody else equates Orbach with Dirty Dancing but I always think about Lumiere from Beauty & the Beast.
Shame that we won't see Lenny untill January.

How can you pick just one Lenny Briscoe quote?
One of my favorites was the one from this season or last season (after CSI became super popular) when one of the crime scene guys starts spouting off his thery on the case. Lenny rolls his eyes and says "Those crime scene guys are highly overrated. The problem is they all think they're cops."
Here's some more

C-Square: "I'll have my lawyers all over you."
Briscoe: "Oh, no--not the lawyers."
(after being told a killing was the work of the devil): "No, this was done by someone who knows the neighborhood. Satan's not a local."
[Scene: Briscoe and Logan enter seedy male strip joint]
Logan (looking at young man stripping): "Kid's not old enough to be in here."
Briscoe: "*I'm* not old enough to be in here."
Russian bride broker: "You guys single?"
Briscoe: "Yeah, three times."
(in response to finding out about the Nobel Prize winner's snootiness): "So he never stopped in to borrow a cup of protons?"
Logan: "One of these days I'm going to pack up a Winnebago."
Briscoe: "And go where?"
Logan: "Upstate,...New Hampshire."
Briscoe: "Right--I spent a year there one weekend."
Talent agent: "The man has--had--a lot of energy. I, on the other hand, have a wife."
Briscoe: "My condolences."
[Scene: Lennie is practicing his speech to the dead girl's mother.]
"Oh hello Mrs. Russell. We just saw a video of your daughter getting raped and shot in the head."
(to Logan): "Ya know, Mike, if I didn't already know you don't have kids, I'd know you don't have kids."
School secretary: "I'm sorry, I can't release the Harrigans' address. You'll have to see the headmaster."
Brisoce: "Miss, we're not asking for the questions to next week's algebra exam."
Secretary: "LCC protects the privacy of its students and their parents. It has done so for one hundred and thirty years. It's not up to me to change school policy."
Briscoe: "Well, our organization goes back even farther than that, and our policy includes such things as search warrants."
"Maybe some guy didn't wear his aluminum hat and some rays told him to knock on doors and kill people."
Logan: "Now I know why I stayed single."
Briscoe: "I thought it was the quality time you spent with yourself."
Profaci: "You goin' to Hanrighty's later?"
Lennie: "Gotta date."
Profaci: "At midnight? You call that a date, Lennie?"
Lennie: "The later it gets, the better they look."
(looking into dead cop's wallet): "Eleven bucks? That's about right for a cop."
"[The Catholic Church as an] unindited co-conspirator? My aunt who says the rosary every morning is gonna have a conniption."
[Scene: Mike and Lennie check the ID of a cabbie found shot dead in his cab.]
Mike: "Daniel Johnson, Corporal, awarded the Purple Heart in Desert Storm."
Lennie: "Compared to this, driving across the sand in Kuwait must have been a piece of cake."
"Johnson's the 43rd cabbie killed in the last 12 months. These guys have shorter life spans than fruit flies."
Forensics guy: "Their car wash policy must be once every leap year. There's a million overlapping prints on that cab."
Briscoe: "What about the ones on top?"
Crime scene technician: "Last time we sifted a dumpster, the Investigating Officer got in here himself."
Briscoe: "That's facinating. I think you missed a spot over there."
Van Buren: "What about Dr. Hampton? Any man in her life?"
Briscoe: "Yes, but his name is Fluffy and he's been neutered. Other than that, her social calendar is pretty light."
Mrs. Durban: "Richard was 47. His wild oats were sown long ago."
Briscoe: "With all due respect, Mrs. Durban, some of us old guys still have some life left in us."
Van Buren: "What have you got?"
Briscoe: "New evidence that May-December romances don't work."
[Reacting to the claim that his suspect didn't murder anyone]:
Briscoe: "Oh yeah? There's someone down at the M.E.'s office doing a pretty good impression of a dead guy."
Lennie: "Just once, I wish the bad guys would work at a reasonable hour."
Ed: "Yeah, like you got something better to do."
Lennie: "Hey, I was smack in the middle of a 4-star dream."
Ed: "Alone?"
Lennie: "What, are you hosting a talk show?"
Lennie: "Well, there's a refreshing change."
Ed: "What, a wife leaving her husband for a younger guy?"
Lennie: "No, a wife who doesn't want her ex-husband dead."
Mrs. Ramos: "Miss Virginia is very, very kind. In this house, she is a saint."
Lennie: "Well, now it's official because somebody killed her."
Lennie (reading a letter): "I enjoy clubbing, horseback riding, and phone sex."
Ed: "Sounds like your type, Lennie."
Lennie: "I don't club."
Lennie: "We need to talk to you."
Student: "About what?"
Lennie: "Oh, putting mayo on corned beef, for openers."
Briscoe: "Oh, no--not the lawyers."
