Jeremy Sisto: Detective Cyrus Lupo

Quotes 

• Cyrus Lupo : The Bloods and the Crips are not terrorists, and neither are a bunch of hardhats and day traders with anger issues. But it sure makes a hell of a sound byte when you're running for election.

  D.A. Jack McCoy : [entering]  I see. A few law school classes, detective, and all of a sudden you're an expert on jurisprudence?

  Cyrus Lupo : Maybe not, but I do have one credential you don't. I spent four years chasing actual terrorists.

  D.A. Jack McCoy : All the more reason I need you to testify. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing for the city. Safe streets, freedom from fear.

  Cyrus Lupo : That's funny. When a cop stretches the rules, we get slammed. When you do it, we're supposed to hear the angels sing. I'll testify in your terrorism trial about what I saw and what I heard. But if you try to use my résumé to sell your case, you won't like what you hear.
