Uniform Officer Marvin Bryson : Still haven't found the package.
Detective Olivia Benson : What package?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Uh, Mr. Gorman's. His penis and testicles were cut off. And they're still missing.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : Maybe Mr. Gorman didn't want to be a man anymore?
Detective Elliot Stabler : You think he wanted his johnson wacked off?
-
Detective Olivia Benson : I can't believe that Granger's making me a suspect.
Casey Novak : You went to the hotel alone. You were found with the body. He's trying to create reasonable doubt.
Detective Olivia Benson : So what the hell do I do?
Casey Novak : Fall on your sword.
Detective Olivia Benson : Meaning what?
Casey Novak : You'll admit that you screwed up four years ago and that you went to the hotel room alone. Then you'll deny you murdered Gorman.
Detective Olivia Benson : Casey, I...
Casey Novak : I gotta talk to my boss. See if I can fix this mess.
[leaves the room]
Detective Olivia Benson : She didn't even ask me if I did it.
Detective Elliot Stabler : She can't. Look, if she did, and you admitted killing Gorman, she couldn't put you on the stand without suborning perjury.
Detective Olivia Benson : You didn't ask me either.
Detective Elliot Stabler : I know you didn't. You'd have shot the bastard.

Detective Elliot Stabler : [after Olivia is found in a hotel room with Mr. Gorman's dead body]
[to Olivia]
Detective Elliot Stabler : Are you protecting her?
Detective Olivia Benson : You think that I'm covering for Hilary?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Where'd you drop her off?
Detective Olivia Benson : At her mother's.
Detective Elliot Stabler : They're estranged, remember?
Detective Olivia Benson : Hilary wanted to talk to her.
Detective Elliot Stabler : When'd you leave her there?
Detective Olivia Benson : A couple of hours ago, and I don't need you interrogating me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Why didn't you come back to the squad?
Detective Olivia Benson : Because I had a hunch. I checked out five hotels, and this one was number six.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Without backup! What the hell's the matter with you?
Detective Olivia Benson : Elliot, don't start with me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : You're out of control.
Detective Olivia Benson : I never had control of this one, remember? I lost my judgment.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Everyone makes mistakes. Get over it.

Juliet Barclay : [about her daughter, Hillary] She's brought me nothing but grief. She's a junkie. When she wasn't in and out of rehab or psych wards, she was stealing from my store, wrecking my marriages, telling outrageous lies. My pregnancy ended my modeling career.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Sounds like you never wanted her.
Juliet Barclay : Women didn't have a choice back then. So whatever she's done now, it is her problem.
