Gareth Williams: Ted Quinlan

Quotes 

• Ted Quinlan : Maybe you haven't been watching your Court TV, but I'm supposed to squeal on the other guys, not myself.

  Lyndon Whitney : Ted, a deal's a deal. Don't worry about their reasons.

  Ted Quinlan : Mr. Fat Retainer here. Like he's got my best interest at heart. Okay, tell me again what you need.

  Jack McCoy : Simple. Testify that you personally sold drugs to the man you knew as Bobby Cassidy.

  Ted Quinlan : What do I get?

  Jack McCoy : Two years for money laundering.

  Ted Quinlan : Forget it.

  Lyndon Whitney : It's a good deal, Ted.

  Ted Quinlan : This is why lawyers never make it in business. Don't you see what's going on here? He needs me to fry his cop killer and I'm guessing he's willing to pay heavy.

  Jack McCoy : A year, a year pro.

  Ted Quinlan : I'll tell you what, counselor. You wan't my testimony? You drop the laundering charges completely, and I get blanket immunity for anything that I may say that might tend to incriminate me.

  Claire Kincaid : That's ridic...

  Jack McCoy : You got it.

  Ted Quinlan : [to lawyer]  You should be paying ME.

• Ted Quinlan : Now, you here to buy or just browsing?

  Lennie Briscoe : Was Bobby Cassidy one of your regular customers?

  Ted Quinlan : A punk. Wanted me to unload some cheap VCRs.

  Lennie Briscoe : So you offered him some smack instead, huh?

  Ted Quinlan : I offered him a Queen Anne chair.

  Rey Curtis : What you do say we cut the crap here? His name wasn't Cassidy, it was Croft and he was on the job. He's dead now and that pisses us off extra special, you catching on?

  Ted Quinlan : A cop? No way he could afford the Queen Anne.

• Lennie Briscoe : I don't know much about Queen Anne chairs, but I know how to add one plus one.

  Ted Quinlan : You should ask for a promotion.

• Rey Curtis : Now my partner, he's a patient man. Me, I get pissed off real easy, especially when I'm lied to.

  Ted Quinlan : I told you already, I didn't kill that cop.

  Rey Curtis : The more you lie, the more impatient I get.

  Ted Quinlan : Well, I suggest a change of underwear.
