Law & Order, Season 12

Lt. Van Buren:
I'm fine, Lenny...

Briscoe:
I just wanted to make sure...

Lt. Van Buren':
You know, you nudge a witness in the right direction at a lineup...the gun - was in plain view, not under the seat...we do that all the time.

Briscoe:
You wouldn't have passed off those prints to the DA unless she told you there was a match!

Lt. Van Buren:
Closin'...that case got me noticed, Lennie. And I used to hear the whispers and the chatter behind my back: 'She got it because she's black'...'She got it 'cause she's a woman'. And I never listened to any of that crap...because I knew...I had earned it!

Briscoe:
You made Lieutenant because you're a great cop! All the drug collars you made, all the killers you put behind bars - this one case isn't gonna undo all of that!

Lt. Van Buren:
I'm not so sure, Lennie...I'm not so sure!
