He Got it in the End
Or
He has the right to remain silent(Props for Monty)
Or
Nobody takes Baby’s daddy to the coroner
(Props to Don)
Jerry Orbach, whose sardonic witty one-liners over the body of a newly discovered murder victim led into the title sequence for Law & Order for 12 years, died of prostate cancer yesterday at the age of 69. Jaded Det. Lenny Briscoe, was the longest-serving primary cast member in the revolving door of the Law & Order franchise, and even after announcing his cancer diagnosis, had started filming for another spin-off that was to debut next year. Prior to his time as Orbach had taken a shot at series TV in The Law and Harry McGraw as sad-sack detective friend of Jessica Fletcher, and had notable film roles as protective papa Jake Houseman in Dirty Dancing and caroling candelabra Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. With a world-weary face and street-smart tough guy demeanor, Orbach spent most of his career either as a cop or a crimelord, with notable turns in Toy Soldiers, F/X and Out for Justice. However Orbach started his career as a song-and-dance man on Broadway, turning in starring performances in "Carnival," "42nd Street" and as part of the original off-off-Broadway cast of the Fantasticks. He won Tony nominations as the original Billy Flynn in “Chicago” and for “Guys and Dolls,” while scoring his lone win for “Promises, Promises.”
Some selected Lenny one-liners:
After discovering a new pack of cigarettes on a body: "That’s one way to quit."
After finding a receipt for dinner on a body: "Dinner for two? Hope he enjoyed it."
About an inept, but innocent suspect: "I believe on a good day he couldn't hit his ass with both hands."
After a suspect asked if he was kidding: “If I was kiddin' you, I'd be wearin' a fez and no pants.”
Helping a witness with a statement: “You mean how you only killed him because he wouldn't give you his watch? Yeah, put that in there, the D.A. would really like that.”
After a suspect kills himself: “I specifically asked for him to be put on suicide watch. Apparently here at Riker's that mean that they watch you commit suicide.”
