Brotherhood (2004)

Christopher Meloni: Detective Elliot Stabler

Quotes 

• Elliot Stabler : You have the right to an attorney. In the unlikely event that Daddy can't afford to buy you one, one will be provided for you.

• Rob Sweeney : Weren't you people ever young? Don't you know the difference between a harmless prank and assault?

  Elliot Stabler : Why don't you explain it to me? But speak up 'cause I'm starting to lose my hearing.

• Xander Henry : How many men in your platoon got heat stroke or broken bones trying to earn that tattoo? You were pushed as far as you could go so you would bond as a unit. That's what a fraternity is all about.

  Elliot Stabler : Rob Sweeney doesn't give a damn about bonding.

• Elliot Stabler : You did it on purpose.

  Xander Henry : Did what?

  Elliot Stabler : Let the ledger back in.

  Xander Henry : That would be a breach of ethics.

  Elliot Stabler : Was it because he called Tyler a rapist or because he caused his death?

  Xander Henry : I defended my client to the best of my abilities.

  Elliot Stabler : For what it's worth, you did the right thing.

  Xander Henry : It really used to be about brotherhood.

• Elliot Stabler : What happened to keggers anyway? I mean college kids don't even party anymore. They're too busy making money organizing strip shows and selling porn on the web.

  John Munch : We live in perverted times, my friend. How many girls pose topless on that website and how many of them had a problem with it? One: Chloe.

  Olivia Benson : Just because the others didn't sue doesn't mean they were any less exploited.

  John Munch : You think all the girls on that site felt violated?

  Olivia Benson : Pretty much, yeah.

  Elliot Stabler : Oh, please. Our culture teaches women the easiest way to become rich and famous is to objectify themselves. Why get a job or an education when you can become the next winner on "The Bachelor"? It's the new American dream.

• Elliot Stabler : [standing in a sewage plant with a decomposed body]  Whoever dumped our victim, really knew their crap.

• Dr. George Huang : [about Will Caray]  He's a text-book example of rape trauma syndrome. He was raped, but like most victims, he blames himself for not trying harder to stop the attack.

  Casey Novak : Except Will didn't fight back. All he had to do to stop the alleged rape was quit pledging.

  Elliot Stabler : And make himself a social outcast. None of his frat rat buddies would have gone anywhere near him. Doesn't get worse for a scared freshman.

• Elliot Stabler : If Will Caray was a woman who killed her rapist, would it be an issue?
