Michael Willis: Richard Peterson

Quotes 

• Richard Peterson : I picked up the coins the day before

  Jack McCoy : And hid them in your sock drawer?

  Francis Dunlap : So, he'll plead to, uh, "unusual storage in the first degree".

• Richard Peterson : [hands Briscoe a historic coin]  Here, touch this. Feel that. Plato might have bought lettuce with that coin. Pericles may have had his sandals fixed, hired a prostitute, bought a slave...

  Detective Lennie Briscoe : [hands coin to Curtis]  ... bribed a cop?

• Richard Peterson : Why would I kill my friend over three percent of my net worth?

  Detective Rey Curtis : Leverage, Peterson. It was collateral for part of one loan for the airline, that was part of your transportation holding company, which was financed up to your eyebrows. So, you pull out one brick from that wall, it comes crashing down, you gotta go back to collecting Lincoln pennies.

  Richard Peterson : [dismissively]  Rey, Rey, Rey, Rey! Do me a favor: go to business school for a couple of years before you explain my financing to me, OK?

  Detective Rey Curtis : [to Van Buren, who has summoned him to leave the interrogation room]  I can't talk right now: I have to go to business school.
