The show's most outstanding moments

[T W]

I would like to start a thread representing our memories of some of the
show's most outstanding moments. The scenes that made you laugh. The
scenes that made you cry. The scenes that made u believe in the death
penalty, and the scenes that just made u want to believe in humanity.
Maybe there was that one murderer you felt sorry for, or even the one
victim you had no sympathy for. We have 10.5 years of the show---so I
am sure we have some special memories.

I would like to start it out with a scene from a show that TNT just
reran last week---that just about gets me every time. It was the
episode right after Sylvia was killed, and John was reluctant to come
back to work, (After he too was shot!), because of his fear of how Andy
would feel about him if they were in the office together. After Andy
and Danny finished an interogation---Andy walked right by John--w/o
saying a word, leaving John to believe his worst fears were true.
The camara angle changed---and from behind John, and the other
detectives welcoming John back, we see Andy standing in the hallway,
looking at John. You can almost feel the intensity in the air at that
moment. Andy just looks at John and tells him, "I have no hard
feelings for you. You are a hero."

That was my moment. What's yours???

[Jbgrelber]

I think the episodes involving the murder of Andy Jr.had a number of those
moments.Of course the one when Andy realizes that it's his son's property and
the look on Bobby's face.A later more subtle but powerful moment was when Andy
is at the morgue and the detective assigned there listens to him,but has
nothing to say that can help-he feels awkward and wants the conversation to be
over.On a lghter note,when Andy seves the mobster a dog turd lasagna is
priceless.Some scenes when Andy falls back in the bottle are also very
memorable.

Season 1, Episode 3 -- aptly titled BROWN APPETIT.

The scene where Andy explains his lack of faith to Sylvia (Her priest
had asked him if he had lost his faith - this was his answer to her).

You're right, that was an amazing episode and actually caught

funniest moments: most of the episodes when they poke fun at andy are
classic.
danny: "let me go burp my partner."
***
connie:hi, connie mcdowell.
mpg:"nice to meet you. who's he?"
connie: "sipowicz"
***
but my favorite has to be the opening scene that i refuse tape over even
though rest
of the episode is gone:
andy: "you know when these people move here, you'd think they'd take
pronouncable
names."
st. simone: "you mean like sipowicz?" (the rest of the scene is great, too)

emotional moment: without a doubt, st. simone's death nearly had me in
tears.
the
diner scene with andy and diane last week was toward that end of the
spectrum.

powerful moment: a couple i'm thinking of because i've seen them recently.
andy
worrying about danny's disappearing and realizing he never really knew the
kid. andy
explaining why he lost his faith i up there. roberts mourning the death of
his junkie
girlfriend in his own way. but i think the winner is bobby feeling so
worried
and
helpless after diane lost the baby that he explodes on andy and fancy while
they're
having a race debate telling them to shut up.

Hey there, first time poster, long time NYPD Blue fan.
You stole my fave with the "lost my faith" speech. But, to bring in a
scene with outside actors, I really love the episode with Lucy Liu as
the nanny who accidentally kills the baby trying to keep her awake for
the workaholic parents. Her heartbreak over the death of the baby is
devastating.

I can't think of a favorite, by the way. Too many. One of the funniest for me
was the chicken scene with MPG. I also loved the Duke of Earl thing. And
PJohn punching the guy and....oh hell...

Amanda

[E***@webtv.net]

Andy and Bobby singing Duke of Earl is one of my favorite moments, too.
I love how you can always count on Andy to see the gray cloud outside
every silver lining (like when Bobby and T-Rod joined the squad).
Bobby's death was so painful to watch for me because my dad had died
just before then and it made me cry about that for the first time (if
you've ever had to watch someone you love slowly waste away over five
years, you'll understand what I mean). I always loved Andy with Sylvia
and alot of his scenes with Theo.
There's just too many great moments to choose from.

Well, she's had a few years to perfect her style!!! What she shoulda
done is take that sword to the parents' the way she does to that
naysayer in "Kill Bill". Now THAT'S must-see-TV.
By the way - thought of another fave - when Andy comes home all pissed
off from a bad case and feeds Theo his dinner - and Theo says amidst
Andy's griping "I'm gonna kiss you now" Andy - "What, you're gonna
kiss me right here at the table?" Theo - "I'm gonna kiss you". Andy
- "Alright." (smack) Theo - "I'm helpin' you." Andy - "you helped me

andy: "you know when these people move here, you'd think they'd take
pronouncable
names."
st. simone: "you mean like sipowicz?" (the rest of the scene is great, too)

How about the scene which Andy and Simone are interviewing a witness from
another country and it goes something like this:
foriegn female witness:"What is wrong with this country?"
Andy:"What is wrong with this country? Too many people from other countries
messing it up!"
Simone:"Detective Sipowicz is one of the few native American Poles."

[ExtremeLawMan76]

For a show that has had so many one of mine is when Andy lets John babysit Theo
for the first time. The range of emotions he goes through right down to the
part where they sit down and play cars together. A true classic moment.

Another is when Andy 'interviews' the man who buried Danny.

[MpaII]

Let's do one for each character:

Sipowicz: Tough choice, but I think the most amusing one is Andy banging on the
outside of the interrogation room wall screaming obscenities, while IAB
interviews a dirty cop(with Simone holding back the laughter)

Simone: When Bobby shoots both the scumbags that killed Andy Jr., the slow
motion worked to a charm, and I think the reaction is some of Smits best work.

John Kelly: Again, tough choice. But I'd have to say nothing beats him
playing Russian Roulette with the TV reporter who was dogging him at the time.

Lt. Fancy: Him and Sipowicz punching it up in the locker room. It was
building up for years.

Russell: The scene were Diane breaks down and confesses to Simone that she was
molested by her father. Powerful.

Donna: Easy!! When she bears her incredible set of ....... to a completely
undeserving Medavoy!!

Sorenson: After Sylvia's murder, when the squad is trying to get the guy
responsible, Danny goes to ask Sipowicz for his help. Danny runs into Andy and
Theo in the street, and talks to Andy through Theo to get him to help!!

That had to be high on the list, but to me the two most outstanding come from
the first season:

(1) Janice Licalsi shoots Marino in the backseat of the car. One of the few
times I've watched tv and actually was surprised.

(2) Andy seconds from shooting Girardella "I want to gut shoot him like he
gut shot me, that's the only reason I didn't die, because all I could think
about was killing him, I don't think I got anything else but" and then he finds
something else, tells Giardella off and tosses his crutch at the car as
Giardella is loaded in.

MarkD

[AAnne]

How about just best locker room moments? I can think of a handful
right off the bat including the scene (already mentioned) with Kelly
and the reporter.

I'll never forget Bobby, Andy, and Jill after the end of their shift
in the "It Takes a Village" episode. Jill seems shellshocked and is
going to take her kids out. Andy's enraged by a child rapist, and
Bobby's in tears over the mom turning her kids in for drug money.

[JTracy1070]

All the previous mentioned moments are definately up there with my favorites,
but last season when Jr. watched the tape of his dad after his dad had commited
suicide has to be one of my favorites all time. That and when he and Rita got
together for the first time after his big boxing match with Laughlin is
another. Give MPG some credit :)

One of the cases that makes me beleve in the death penalty was that
wierdo who was "taking care" of his mom---never mind the fact that he
killed his "annoying" sister---and some 20 years earlier he drowned his
little brother. And what makes him confessed to all of this? Two-
two liter bottles of CocaCola. One to tell about how he killed his
sister--and one to tell how he killed his brother. I always wonder
what he would confess to if he had the bubbly of maybe a budweiser or
two?

The crack addict line is from "This Old Spouse", in which a woman's husband
never *does* come to terms with the idea that his wife is a crackhead skel
who willingly committed armed robbery with the convict she and her church
were "saving" and who had been living in their house, working for the
husband's company and no doubt boning the wife the whole time. At the end
of the episode he's paying for her lawyer, but asking Andy if she really
needs one, since he thinks the DA is likely to drop the charges once he
realizes that the wife only helped the convict because said convict had
threatened their children. Andy tells him to keep the lawyer, just in case.

I think my favorite two scenes were...

the one when Diane and Bobby were investigating the rape and murder of
a little boy and the father did it. The mother knew he did it but
couldn't come to believe it. Diane had "befriended" her and gained
her trust. While the father was playing the victim with Bobby. Diane
met the mother at the site where they found the son's clothing...and
the husband and Bobby arrived and the mother lost it. It was
incredible. Actually those two episodes were amazing...everything
about them was amazing, at least to me and if I'm not mistaken I think
the two actors that played the parents won emmys.

I also loved the scene with Jill in the episode were she had been
trying to help a woman arrested for shoplifting all day. Her husband
was a drunk and abusive. She was trying to keep the mother and the
kids out of the system and it worked but the uniform cop was being a
hard ass (McLaughlin...I think). He ends up assaulting the guy
(smacking the guys booze out of his hand) and humiliating him. The
guy goes home and kills his wife. Jill goes into the bar where the
cop is whining to Danny about Jill. Jill stands up to him and tells
him that he did "no good for anyone today" that he got that woman
killed. He tells her that if she wasn't a woman he would kick her
ass. And she steps in his face and tells him as knows what she is and
she is standing in front of him. He stands up to kick her ass and
Danny stand up. I thought it was a great moment...exactly what being
a LEO is about...backing the play of your squad member. I had no
doubt that Danny would have fought for her.

Both great...but it is hard to pick just a few but those stood out...

him as knows what she is and she is standing in front of him.

As I remember it, the dialogue was slicker than that. Laughlin, upon
the confrontation said, "you're lucky your not a man," and Jill, nose
to nose with him said, "no, you're lucky I'm not a man." It was at
that time that Danny stepped in between them.

I've always liked the scenes where they use a "hands on" approach to get a
perp to confess.

-- Kelly explaining his code to Martinez

-- The perp claiming that he molested children because he was sick, but
Andy beat him just because he liked it.

-- Simone smacking the guy upside his head when he told Diane to bend over.

-- Greg using a phone book in the hospital room.

-- Danny almost losing his job for beating the subway stabber with the
bleached hair

But my favorite was from the episode when Diane and Bobby got married.
Diane and Jill were interviewing a pedophile regarding a little girl that
went missing. Jill back handed him twice which seemed to excite him. Then
Fancy came in, removed his watch and said "I'll take over this interview"
and backed him into a corner.

to do the right thing despite the risks, and that's the kind of nobility and
bravery that always gets to me, in fiction as in real life.

There are so many other good moments that I'd have a hard time picking them
out - but John's refusal to step aside when Dolores's father was preparing
to leave the men's room, his painful struggle to walk a few feet to warn the
others and his and Andy's return to the squad were the very *first* ones
that came to mind when I sas this topic.

I would like to start a thread representing our memories of some of the
show's most outstanding moments.

There are so many! I've read through all of them so far and they are most
certainly outstanding moments.

My favorite declaration from Andy is "Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's
raining." That one makes me laugh every time I hear it.

One of the outstanding moments is when Fancy takes Andy to the all-black diner.
I'd never seen Andy 'squirm' so much before or since then!

I think my favorite Andy line came from "Guns and Hoses", the one about the
fire bombing of the abortion clinic.

One of the guys they interview and release is a rather zealous religious
type who leaves them with a Biblical quotation as he exits.

I've always loved the end of the missing/feared dead Bucci daughter
arc, that ending with the helicopters approaching, Andy Jr. there to
see his dad is shining armor...*BLISS*

But if I had to name a personal fave that hasn't been mentioned, it's
when Lt.Fancy sends in Andy to "Re-interview" the turd who slashed
Gina. The way Andy goes in so friendly and nice....then *WHAP*. It
added a new term to our house hold, "DON'T make me "re-interview"
you!"

Alex

[Homer J. Fong]

Here are the ones that stand out for me (some mentioned already):

Andy banging on the interrogation room window screaming:

Andy: Which would have taken us all of 27 minutes to find out, you
lying, murdering scumbag hump!
Martens: Will somebody SHUT HIM UP!

Fancy and Andy going mano a mano in the locker room. That one really
took me by surprise.

Andy yelling at Sylvia's priest in the interrogation room "Where was
God when my son got shot?"

Andy realizing Andy J is the shooting victim. That was a real punch in
the stomach.

The last shot of "Lost Israel, part 1", when everyone is silent and the
camera just pulls back and shows everyone thinking about the case.

Andy beating that Russian bomber-guy (that guy from the West Wing), and
his response: "This is America. I would have beaten you whether you
were rich or poor."

Andy being really crabby (ok, that's hard to nail down, I admit...) and
Bobby has the camera and he snaps Andy's picture after he says "Smile!"

And of course, the end of "Hearts and Souls".

[Dave Marron]

Here's a few I liked. I always liked the comedic ones, and I paraphrase:

Baldwin [after Greg offers a tube of "penis enlargment" creme] : "Don't need
it."
[Whereupon Greg pockets the tube]

[Andy and Sylvia in the shower]
Andy: That's really gonna get clean.

The scene where Andy introduces PJohn to Danny, and as they shake hands, PJohn
bends his leg in the standard "woman-being-kissed" pose. Andy notices and rolls
his eyes.

TRod [at the Smoker]: What'd I miss?
PJohn: Two guys...who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag, and two guys
from Transit that *I* could take.

And later:
PJohn yelling, "Lay off his jewels!" and TRod's reaction.

Diane was home "with the flu" and Andy thought she could use some of
those zinc tablets.
(paraphrase)

Andy: What do you think about zinc?
LT Fancy: You mean to help with a cold?
Andy: No, I mean as a mining opportunity

[z***@yahoo.com]

There are two moments that really hit home with me. The first is in
"Speak For Yourself, Bruce Clayton" when Simone helps Jamal take a sip
from the can of soda. There was no dialogue in that minute, but Smits
and Esposito communicated volumes though absolutely incredible
craftsmanship. The second is in "NYPD Lou" right after Lou has given
Kelly the real details about the drug dealer murder. Kelly pats a
sobbing Lou's hand and tells him that he did a good thing -- a classic
example of one man's humanity to another, and perfectly offset minutes
later by Sylvia's droll "I know, he's a stand-up wolf" comment.

[Homer J. Fong]

Ok, two more:

In "Lost Israel, part 1" when Andy and Bobby come out of the initial
interview with the missing boy's parents, and Andy says "This guy talks
TOO much, and about all the WRONG things!"

And, more recently, when they (um, Andy, Diane, ...Junior? Greg?
Connie?) break into that woman's bedroom and realize that she isn't a
victim of the serial killer, but that she IS the serial killer. It
reminded me of that part of The Silence of the Lambs when we realize
that Jodie Foster has stumbled on Buffalo Bill's house.

[Homer J. Fong]

Ok, last one...

When Steroid Roy Larson tells Kelly he can get him in shape, and Andy
says to Fancy (who walked in at the point Roy was showing off his ass)
"You gotta admit Lieutenant -- that's one hell of a muscular ass."

[MarkRDahley]

When Steroid Roy Larson tells Kelly he can get him in shape, and Andy

"You gotta admit Lieutenant -- that's one hell of a muscular ass."

Followed by Kelly warning Roy that "If we go, we're gonna go" and then
knocking him out with two shots.

Every Kelly Episode had a great Kelly moment but my all time favorite has to
be the time he shoves the table at the two brothers in the cell and tells them
if anything happens to his ex, he would come after them.

All the detectives gang up on Kelly saying they weren't sure his helping
bust a cop sat well with them, causing Andy to say "Kelly did the right thing,
and I'll meet anyone in the parking lot who says different"

After Kelly left, Andy summing him up "My last partner was the biggest social
worker this side of the nun from calcutta, but he always made sure the cop part
of the job got done."

Not sure if this one was mentioned yet.
The Christmas episode when John Kelly went to
visit his Mom in the rest home and at first
she thought he was his father. She was reminising
about the old days and how he had to make time
for his family. Then you realized that she was
confused about who was there. The look on his
face was so full of compasion and caring.

That was my moment. What's yours???

So many to choose from, and so many have already been mentioned. Just
thought I'd throw in another great Andy line. It's from either a
late-James McDaniel or an early-Esai ep in which Andy & Danny
investigate the murder of a low-life. The crime scene includes some
gang graffiti that Andy is sure is a misdirection ploy. As A & D
summarize the case, the lieutenant asks, "Do we think this is
gang-related?" Danny is also skeptical, but says, "Could be a gang
hit."

To which Andy mutters, "Yeah, the evicted Puerto Rican half-ass
pimpin' skell junkie bum set."

All this talk lately of Andy's prostrate reminds me of another
favorite:

When John tried to correct Andy's pronunciation by leaving the
dictionary on Andy's desk.

[T W]

"Oh great---we got one in diapers---and one in depends!"

Andy Sipowickz--referring to his new babyface partner Jr. and the
return of ancient Detective Gibson both working in the office with him.

[Ded]

Oh, just a couple moments ...

* Bobby and Andy take a drive out of the city to the small farm town
of Cannonsville; Bobby brings his pigeons and encourages Andy to toss
one up in the air. The look on Andy's face when he releases the bird
is terrific -- always seemed to me that he was, reluctantly, letting
go of some of his grudges, and not just a bird. After that episode,
Bobby and Andy were closer.

* The scene where Charlotte Ross -- before she was Connie McDowell --
plays the wife of some scumbag cop who'd murdered his mistress. She
wears a wire at home and antagonizes her scumbag husband into
confessing, without using the code word to signal trouble. She gets
the confession, as well as some smacks and a very menacing death
threat, before our intrepid detectives intervene. Bobby got to point
a gun at the scumbag and say the memorable line, "Do you doubt that I
want to shoot you?" (Or was it "kill you" -- something like that,
right?) Not nearly as memorable, though, as Ross's dramatic
performance -- you saw a battered woman taking back her life.

* Medavoy, after too many glasses of wine with his lesbian pals, of a
painting on their wall: "Is that a vagina?" Only I think he
pronounces it "ver-gina" or something like that. (Okay, so I didn't
dig this particular story arc, but the moment was terrific, classic
Medavoy.)

* The end of the "Lost Israel" episodes, when Andy reads a passage
from Israel's bible as the wife of pedophile Steve Egan comes to terms
with the awful monster her husband is. Andy has been out of the case
(he let the main suspect know that the detectives "liked" him),
looking for clues in a homeless witness's copy of the Old Testament,
and it turns out that what he's found is something like consolation
from the dead. It's very affective.

* That sex scene between Bobby and Diane in the bathroom ... her hands
(all we see) gripping the top of the shower wall ... which means that
Bobby is ... *ahem* ... behind her ...

* Remember that crazy florist, Joyce, who had a thing for Bobby? So
many good scenes with her, but probably the best was in the courtroom,
where Simone virtually seduces her while Sylvia puts together the plea
arrangement Joyce came to stop. Joyce's line to Diane at the end of
that episode is also terrific -- weilding a knife, she says (something
like): "You know, I thought this was for me, but now I realize it's
for you."

[Adam Minakowski]

i'm enjoying how a lot of the moments mentioned in this thread correspond to
the
episodes currently or recently on tnt or court tv. it makes me wonder what
scenes
stand out in the memory unaided by reruns. much more of a challenge. i
must
admit
some of the scenes i mentioned were cable-assisted.

I loved to know (although lately) that there
is an internet group just to comment
about this wonderful show. Congratulations!
This is my first participation (by the way,
sorry for my english, 'cause it isn't very good).
But the show's most outstanding moment in my
opinion happened in Good Time Charlie, episode
number 20 of the first season.
After they had a pleasant night at Sylvia's father
birthday party, what a deception to Sylvia see Andy
drunk. It was a deeply deception to me, that was
waiting for a great night of love between them.
Dennis was superb in his performance. What a
talented actor he is!

Welcome to the group, Monicac. Don't cornbore too much about your
English. It's at least as dranbling as many of the U.S. natives here --

The Wedding reminded me of Connie's greatest moment. Last season when they're
first talking about doing the wedding, Andy tries to talk John into conducting
the ceremony, and he's hesitant, Connie just smiles at him, and he agrees.

Amanda,

Thank you for the words and the reviews you write.
I always read once in Brazil we're watching the begining of the 10th
season and I just can't wait to know what will happen in the 11th
season, specially about the romance between Andy and Connie. I know
you don't like it very much, but I do. I like to see Andy happy again
with a young woman like Connie. Although I think that Connie has to be
more sweet and spontaneous with Andy like she used to be in the
begining of their relationship. It would be wonderful to see Andy and
Connie living moments like he used to live with Sylvia. By the way,
I intend to write some suggestions to the writers about this soon and
incentivate the Group's people to do that too. We know that they like
to have a feedback from the audience and certainly they use to read
our messages. So, I hope they can do it and give to Andy and Connie's
romance a little bit more scenes and credibility once they'll be
definitely together. What do you think about?

Monica.

Just one note on your otherwise fine English: The word you want

Thank you very much, Jim. You're right. There are considerable meaning
differences between apparently identicals words of another language.
And "disappointment" is the more appropriate word to the phrase than
"deception". But unfortunately this type of mistake will be often
found in my messages 'cause I can't avoid it easily. I mean, it's hard
to learn how to write or speak well using another language unless you
live in its country for a good time. I hope that all the people of the
list can understand this and forgive me, once what I really want is to
read and write (as good as I get) about my favorite show, NYPD BLUE.
But don't hesitate to correct my messages english again when you
can (including this one). You can be sure that you'll be helping me to
know better about your language and I'll appreciate that. Keep in

Yeah, "Blue" is very popular in Brazil. But
unfortunately the 11th season that you're watching now

the 10th season, but that's okay. That's new to us,
