- [after John Irvin gave Andy a haircut]
- Det. Greg Medavoy: On your hair, Andy, I thought that came to a natural stopping point several years ago.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: Yeah, very funny.
- Howie: Chill! Chill! I ain't holdin, man!
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: Yeah? How about laundry, Howie? You doin' any laundry?
- Howie: I don't know what you're talking about.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: I'm talking about you doing laundry for the first time in six months, some guy winds up dead.
- Howie: I didn't have nothin' to do with that.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: Oh, there's a fresh concept Howie: you weren't involved.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: If I spend time on this, Howie, and I find that you're pullin' my pud, I'm comin' back here and I'm gonna give you a smack, *and* I'm gonna hurt you with the D.A. Now is this a straight story?
- Howie: Absolutely. Absolutely straight.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: All right. Give me an address.
- Howie: Come on. The guy'll know it came from me.
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: Yeah, he might think ill of you, Howie. Of course, he did try to murder you already.
- [after Jerry gets put in a holding cell next to Howie]
- Jerry: Is he gettin' out? He's gettin' out, isn't he? Welshes on a bet, sells beat dope, and I'm goin' away?
- Det. Andy Sipowicz: Yeah, we're harder on murder than we are on bad debts.
