Law & Order, Season 8
Lt. Van Buren:
5 more teams to cover 1 shift. That's all I need.
Commander Dietz:
Can't spare them.
Lt. Van Buren:
I bet if this was some 5-year-old white beauty queen, you'd be out there ringing the doorbells yourself.
Commander Dietz:
This has nothing to do with race.
Lt. Van Buren:
Then it's me. My lawsuit.
Commander Dietz:
Anita, don't get emotional.
Lt. Van Buren:
Are you all so petty that you'd endanger the lives of the people we're supposed to protect?
Commander Dietz:
Petty? The department has better ways to spend its resources than defending itself against petty lawsuits.
Lt. Van Buren:
I was within my rights. The department promoted a white woman with less seniority. Maybe you all forgot, but we can sit at the lunch counter now!
