Jerry Orbach credited as playing...
Detective Lennie Briscoe
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: I thought my sex life was complicated when I had to wear a condom.
- Det. Rey Curtis: Is that freaky enough for you? You can be a mother *after* you're dead.
- Det. Rey Curtis: You know, the newsletter guy's right. Rutland IS playing God.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: He's playing with the brains God gave him: isn't that kosher?
- Det. Rey Curtis: What - making babies in a test tube? Storing leftover babies in a freezer?
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: [correcting Curtis] Embryos!
- Det. Rey Curtis: Fine - embryos.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: My sister couldn't have a baby. They tried for years. It was really painful.
- Det. Rey Curtis: Well maybe she wasn't meant to have a baby.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: [pause] Excuse me?
- Det. Rey Curtis: Experimenting with embryos experimenting with fetuses.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Come on, Rey. If some doctor could cure your wife with cells from a fetus...
- Det. Rey Curtis: It wouldn't be right.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Yeah, but do you think Deborah would agree?
- Det. Rey Curtis: Oh, you want to make this personal, Lennie? Let's say your daughter stored some eggs before she died. You could still be a grandfather. Does that sound good to you?
