I remember one of the first episodes he had with Ray Curtis, Curtis wanted to start a fight saying, "To get respect you have to kick a little a**" and Briscoe responded "I'd have respected the hell out of them when kicked our asses!".

Did you know that when Jerry was first on the show, his wisecracks were adlibbed. Only after a while, the producers agreed to make it a part of his character.

I have so many:
"no, we're homicide! because someone was homicided earlier?"
"i spent a year there one weekend"
"ah, love! a fatal disease curable only by marriage"
(to Det. green)"You know that report I threw at you? I need it back"
I'll think of more later, your turn -

Prolly one of my favorite lines, I dont remember the suspects name but i remember the words. The suspect was sitting on a swing with his doctor.
Green:Were here to pick up (suspects name), Who are you?
Doctor: Im (suspects name) Psychiatrist.
Briscoe: Whats this, swing therapy? -

I don't recall the setup for it exactly but Green says something about Lennie being a cynic about love and Lennie's reply is, "Not love, marriage!"
Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston made the show for me. It won't be the same without Mr. Orbach.

Briscoe and Logan are trying to get info from a stuffy upper-crust administrator at a private school, who declared to Lennie in a huff that her 'organization' was almost a hundred years old and very respectable. Lennie replies:
"Well we belong to an even older organization, and just as respectable".
or something along those lines.
Lennie had a great capacity for equalizing the extremes of Manhatten. He could raise a "skell" by admonishing him to wisen up and have some respect for himself, then bring down an urban sophisticate and remind her of her ancestors' working class roots, all in the same episode. It was, of course, Mr. Orbach's delivery that made it all happen. God, he'll be missed.
Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston you got that right; they ARE the show. I agree with cetheareth, Mr. Orbach is why I got hooked on the reruns,
I'm 51 and haven't had a prostate test in years (Mr. Orbach was 69); kind of scares me, so now I'm thinking maybe I better look into a checkup. Thank you Lennie
