- Ian O'Connell: May I ask you a question, sir? How, with the map of Donegal on your mug, did you ever end up with a name like Stone?
- Ben Stone: Happenstance, sir. Same way you ended up with the name of a real Irish patriot.,
- Max Greevey: Oh, a miracle! See, once I saw the coroner wrote "crushed larynx, DOA, dead as a doornail", I was convinced.
- Axelrod: Nevertheless, he's still alive as far as everyone on his Rolodex knows.
- Max Greevey: Why the hell is that so important?
- Axelrod: Because I said it is, sergeant. It's national security. Mustafa had his greasy fingers in a lot of pies. He was helping us. Certain people find out he's dead, we're back to square one.
- Max Greevey: Don't worry. You're already there. We already told his wife he was with Allah yesterday.
- Axelrod: Cops...
- Max Greevey: Unless you got some other fairy tales you want to tell us, we're gonna see Montez, because he's convinced Mustafa's dead.
- Ben Stone: Look at the bright side.
- Paul Robinette: What bright side?
- Ben Stone: We are not in Boston.
- Mike Logan: Who's the birthday boy? He looks familiar.
- Sheila: I like cops, when they're *off* duty.
- Mike Logan: [to Max] Was it that obvious?
- Max Greevey: Do you ever get offered undercover assignments?

- Adam Schiff: And Mr. O'Connell's sentence of 25 years to life is a fitting conclusion to this case. This prosecution shows the value and necessity of interagency cooperation on a local, state, federal, *and* international level. These men arrayed behind me showed powerful personal and professional bonds in bringing an international terrorist to justice. Thank you very much.
