- Dr. Melinda Warner: The only explanation is a technique called electro ejaculation.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: I don't like the sound of that.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: [showing them a machine] Nothing to it. Insert this end in the rectum, an electric shock causes an involuntary ejaculation.
- John Munch: Love used to be simpler.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: The first procedure was done back in the '70s on a teenager who died in a motorcycle accident. His parents wanted grandchildren. It's called posthumous reproduction.
- John Munch: The sperm from a corpse is viable?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: If harvested within thirty hours.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Will this thing work if the guy's not dead?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: They've recently started using this technique on paraplegics and coma victims. If your guys were drugged, they never knew it happened.
- [a rape suspect claims that the victim's baby isn't his]
- Olivia Benson: Immaculate conception's not gonna hold up in court, so why don't you try again?
- Chauncey Zeirko: Do you really want to put that poor woman through any more pain?
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: What are you offering?
- Chauncey Zeirko: Probation, no jail time, you and I take the rest of the afternoon off.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: I'd rather work.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: This is all that survived the fire.
- Olivia Benson: Not very much.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Fire marshal says an accelerant was used, probably gasoline, to enhance the burn.
- Elliot Stabler: Smart guy. Wanted to make sure we didn't find a body.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: I didn't.
- Olivia Benson: You mean it was incinerated?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: No, I mean there wasn't one in that car. Body burns, you always find something.
- Elliot Stabler: You walked through this city carrying $500,000 and just handed it over to her?
- Barclay Pallister: Yeah.
- Olivia Benson: Then why did she leave crying?
- Barclay Pallister: Because she's crazy. I was happy to pay her just to get her out of my life. She left with the money and I never saw her again.
- Elliot Stabler: The problem is neither has anyone else.
- Chauncey Zeirko: We're through here. Charge my client or leave.
- Elliot Stabler: [turning to leave] By the way, your cleanup job at the apartment sucked. You should have let April burn up in that car. You've made an awful lot of mistakes, and I promise they're gonna catch up to you.
- April Troost: You were my friend. You promised to protect me.
- Olivia Benson: When you were a rape victim, not a rapist. You sexually assaulted three dozen men.
- April Troost: Really? Did they tell you I assaulted them?
- Olivia Benson: We've got you on extortion and fraud. Not to mention ripping off childless couples. And extorting half a million dollars from Barclay Pallister.
- April Troost: It was a settlement. There's nothing illegal about being paid for my pain and suffering.
- Olivia Benson: Faking your own murder for the insurance money is. Gotta hand it to you, smearing your own blood on the walls? That was good.
- Dr. George Huang: Do you find tricking people amusing?
- April Troost: Absolutely. Mother always said if you're too stupid to see the wool being pulled over your eyes, you deserve what you get.
- Captain Donald Cragen: How's the baby?
- Olivia Benson: Sarah's fine. Not that April or her mother give a damn. I bet you they're in a bar right now laughing at us.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Let it go.
- Olivia Benson: I can't. They scammed everyone, and we just let them walk.
- Captain Donald Cragen: We got the baby.
- Olivia Benson: I know. But we haven't seen the last of them. They will never stop playing their sick games.
- Captain Donald Cragen: Liv, you gotta stop beating yourself up. The baby matters more. Now she'll be loved.
- April Troost: You have a sick imagination.
- Olivia Benson: On my best day I couldn't make this stuff up.
- Olivia Benson: You're only charging April with fraud and extortion? She's a walking crime spree.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: My hands are tied. The three dozen of her victims don't even have a memory of being raped.
- Olivia Benson: What about the baby?
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: No hospitals in the tri-state area even have a record that she delivered one.
- Olivia Benson: Casey, trust me, she did. And then she sold it or she drowned it or who knows. But that evil bitch did something terrible with that baby.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: You know, for all we know, it really was stillborn, and that's not a crime.
- Olivia Benson: No, it's a con! April has been scamming us since day one. She never had any intention of jumping off that ledge.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: She played you, so now you're pissed.
- Olivia Benson: Yes, I'm pissed. But we still have to find that baby. Not to mention ruining Barclay Pallister's life.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: That's not our fault. That's April's.
- Olivia Benson: And knowing her, she will find someone else to blame.
- Cleo Conrad: April was raised without any moral values whatsoever.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: So she's a sociopath.
- Cleo Conrad: April's well aware of right and wrong, but she believes the law doesn't apply to her. That's how she was brought up.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: My mother told me that storks bring babies and that Santa came down the chimney, but you know what, you grow up and you realize that some of the things your parents told you aren't true.
- Cleo Conrad: Not if you're brainwashed. April Troost is like a suicide bomber, indoctrinated from birth. She lives her life by the lies her mother told her.
- A.D.A. Casey Novak: Ignorance of the law is no defense.
- Cleo Conrad: Mental defect is. Your shrink will agree, April wasn't responsible for her actions.
- Elliot Stabler: [after April's presumed death in a car crash] Liv, there's nothing you could've done.
- Olivia Benson: I was angry, and I let it show.
- Elliot Stabler: You got pissed off because she lied to you. She needed somebody to believe in her.
- April Troost: I know there are rules, but they don't apply to me.
- Dr. George Huang: How did that go over in school?
- April Troost: I didn't go to school. Mother didn't want me picking up any bad habits.
- Dr. George Huang: Like what?
- April Troost: Feeling sorry for people, what Mother called "getting soft." She taught me to stay alert, be on the lookout.
- Dr. George Huang: For what?
- April Troost: There are always people who want to take advantage of me. That's why I have to take advantage of them first.
- Dr. George Huang: Survival of the fittest.
- April Troost: Screw or get screwed.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: April sure made a bundle off of that rape. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
- Barclay Pallister: [about April] I told you I didn't rape her.
- Elliot Stabler: I know.
- Barclay Pallister: But if she slipped me a roofie, how did I get it up?
- Barclay Pallister: My flash-freeze method will revolutionize mortuary science.
- John Munch: And that gets you laid like a rock star.
- April Troost: I actually believed that he was interested in me. A nurse's aide. I barely have my GED.
- Olivia Benson: April, what happened to you wasn't your fault. Facing him is gonna help you deal with this.
- April Troost: I can't.
- Olivia Benson: You gotta be strong for little Sarah. You're all she has.
