Jesse L. Martin: Detective Ed Green

Quotes 

• Detective Ed Green : Hey, Old Spice! What did the Lieutenant tell you about me?

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Nothing. Did she tell you I don't like nicknames?

• Detective Ed Green : [Questioning a mass-shooter who murdered pre-med women]  I've been in this house a month. There isn't a day that bitch doesn't ride my ass. Lennie, Detective Briscoe, he was in line for the job. He had the seniority. They made HER Lieutenant. I bet it's the same where you work. You know what? It belittles us. It disrespects us. Isn't that what you felt? But we don't sit around and mope, do we? Take you. You tried to move up the ladder, to get into med school. And they even denied you that opportunity, didn't they? Yep. It's a terrible thing they did to you. They should have been helping you, Dennis. Taking care of you. That's what women are for. To look out for you. But they let you down. They always have, haven't they? I saw your Children's Services file. Your old man beat on you. He beat your mother. I know what that's like. Your mother was supposed to look out for you, to protect you. She just let it happen, didn't she? She didn't protect her baby. And now, these women get a crack at killing you. Dennis, you are in a deep hole right now, man. There's only one way out. You tell us what you did. There's no trial, no jury, no death penalty. Please, man, please. Don't let them do this to you. Don't let them win. You tried hard to be a good man and did they give you the respect you deserve?

  Dennis Trope : [Crying]  Those bitch doctors at the hospital...

  Detective Ed Green : What about them, Dennis? What did they do?

  Dennis Trope : [Weeping, choking, barely able to say the words]  They said that I should apply to nursing school.

  Detective Ed Green : See? They humiliated you.
