Homicide Public Service Announcement

Rewatching season one of Homicide for the first time since it orginally aired, I'm re-dazzled by it's genius. If you haven't seen it, and you aren't yet convinced to run out and buy or rent it, here are some choice quotes, I believe all from the series premiere:

Felton: You have the right to remain silent; although personally, I don't feel remaining silent's all it's cracked up to be... Smoke?

[Crosetti and Lewis in adjacent stalls]
Crosetti: Got any toilet paper?
Lewis: Nope.
Crosetti: Got five ones for a five?

Munch: Homicide: our day begins when yours ends.

[In the interrogation room]
Munch: You're saving your really good lies for some smarter cop, is that it? I'm just a donut in the on-deck circle. Wait until the real guy gets here. Wait until that big guy comes back. I'm probably just his secretary. I'm just Montel Williams. You want to talk to Larry King.
Criminal: I'm telling you the truth.
Munch: I've been murder police for ten years. If you're going to lie to me, you lie to me with respect. What is it? Is it my shoes? Is it my haircut? Got a problem with my haircut? Don't you ever lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. I am not Montel Williams. I am not Montel Williams.

[Bolander ranting to whoever's listening]
Bolander: How come every time I open that refrigerator, there's one drop of milk left in the carton? So who has to go to the 7-11 and replace the carton of milk?
Munch: Me.
Bolander: That's besides the point. He's doing that on my behalf. He could be doing something else for me.

Okay, so really they're probably only meaningful to someone who's seen the show already, but trust me! If you'd seen the show, you'd enjoy rehashing these moments now.
