• Det. Danny Sorenson : What's wrong with John babysitting?

  Andy : A long time, and he's been gay every day of it.

• Agent Francis : [to Danny]  You remind me of Donnie Osmond with your partner's personality.

  Andy : Old?

  Det. Danny Sorenson : Bald?

• Det. Danny Sorenson : He's the fast-talker of the partnership, while you take care of the silent, brooding chores?

• Det. Danny Sorenson : Where's a good homicide when you need one?

• Det. Danny Sorenson : My father died when I was like six years old. My mother, she couldn't take care of me and my sisters so she send us over here to live with her sister. I was born in Norway, but over here we lived in Albany. So, was I like your first Norwegian screw?

  Officer Mary Franco : Not even close.

• [Danny has been manipulated by a Federal agent and furious about it] 

  Det. Danny Sorenson : Well, you'll have to work that out with the bosses, 'cause my inclination is to knock your teeth down your throat for moving me around like a gutter bum.

• Det. Danny Sorenson : Ok, Nicki; we know you and Derek planned to steal Beller's art. Now. Derek pulling a gun on Detective Sipowicz moves him to the top of the list. What you want to do is try to help yourself by wearing a wire when we put you two together and getting Derek to admit that he was the one who planned the whole thing.

  Nicki Cameron : If I do that, will I be implicated in the theft?

  Det. Danny Sorenson : You're already implicated, Nicki; your cooperation in helping us nail Derek will buy you some good will with the DA and the judge.

  Det. Diane Russell : This is where you want to say yes, Nicki.

• Det. Danny Sorenson : [discussing Det. Russell's choice to leave the 15th with Andy]  . I was sick in love with Diane. I guess I had too high an expectation.

• Det. Danny Sorenson : That's just what I wanted tonight - just keepin' company with you.
