Abe Vigoda: Detective Landis

Quotes 

• Detective Landis : We had our guy - Munoz. The sick sonofabitch followed her from work in his car; picked on her because she was wearing a white dress. Figured she was canned goods.

  Detective Rey Curtis : You said she was coming home from work - but we got it she went to a movie.

  Detective Landis : Oh, no - she was workin' under the table at the Franklin Pub. On account of her probation, she was supposed to keep out of the place.

  Detective Rey Curtis : Probation for what?

  Detective Landis : Gambling. We didn't release that... out of respect for the victim.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : What else didn't make it into your report?

  Detective Landis : [pointedly]  It had nothin' to do with the case.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : She gambled, Farina collected for gamblers - there's gambling all over the place, except in your report.

  Detective Landis : Munoz did it! He confessed to it - and two rapes besides.

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Right after a trip to the West End Grill?

  Detective Landis : [furious]  ... Munoz was a righteous bust!... So to hell with ya!

  [Landis gets up and leaves angrily] 

  Detective Rey Curtis : ...OK, I'll bite - what's the West End Grill?

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : Oh, the docks on the West Side. Back in the '60s, they used to take guys like Munoz out there, and see how far they could swim - after they beat the hell out of them... or so I heard.
