Law & Order, Season 1

Logan:
[about Carla Lowenstein] Everything’s a mirror to her. She holds a dying kid up to it, and all she can see is herself and how it affects her. Now you give her sympathy, she’s gonna want to fight. You give her a fight, she’s gonna want a kiss. You give her a kiss and I swear to God she’ll bite your tongue out.

Max:
You, uh, saw this on Oprah, or what?

Logan:
My mother. Yeah. She always said she was cut out for something greater than being the wife of a cop from the Lower East side. God, she was a bottomless pit. Everything was, "Give me your undivided attention." When the old man couldn't take it anymore, he'd give her a whack, and then she'd turn around and whack me. She always got this look in her eye, y'know, and I saw it coming. Now, that witch in there, she's got that same look.
