Quotes 

• Officer Tommy Callahan : [while talking to Dr. Huang]  I've been having all these dreams.

  Dr. George Huang : About what?

  Officer Tommy Callahan : Weird stuff. People's faces turning into monsters' faces, spiders coming out of my hands.

  Dr. George Huang : How long have you been having them?

  Officer Tommy Callahan : They started a couple months after I got back to the States. Freaks me out all day.

  Dr. George Huang : I know that the doctors have been giving you some medication. Do you think that's helping?

  Officer Tommy Callahan : Yeah. The dreams aren't as bad and I don't have all that other crazy stuff in my head as much.

  Dr. George Huang : What other crazy stuff?

  Officer Tommy Callahan : Like thinking that my neighbors are spying on me, tapping my phones. There's something really wrong. How's Jamie?

  Dr. George Huang : I haven't spoken to her, but I could contact her for you after we're finished, if you'd like.

  Officer Tommy Callahan : She doesn't come see me. She won't even call. Not that I blame her.

  Dr. George Huang : I'm sure she's very worried about you, Tom. Everyone is. What else have you noticed about yourself? Things you did before you were hospitalized that don't make sense now.

  Officer Tommy Callahan : Sometimes in the morning, when I shave, I put the razor to my neck. And I think, "If I could just push a little bit harder, all the way across my throat," it would hardly hurt at all.

• Dr. George Huang : I don't think it's PTSD.

  Det. Elliot Stabler : Why not?

  Dr. George Huang : Callahan reports no change in his sleep patterns or eating habits. He exhibits no exaggerated startle reflex. His nightmares are vivid and bizarre, more like hallucinations, and he experiences paranoia and suicidal ideation.

  Detective Olivia Benson : So if it's not PTSD, what is causing all this?

  Dr. George Huang : Well, if this were an isolated case, I'd say that he might have developed schizoaffective disorder or it could be organic, a brain tumor for instance.

  Det. Elliot Stabler : But it's not isolated, it's two different guys. What are the odds they'd both come down with the same disorder?

  Dr. George Huang : It's next to impossible which leaves us with an environmental cause. Both soldiers affected by the same toxin.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Gulf War Syndrome has been blamed on everything from chemical weapons to depleted uranium bullets.

  Det. Elliot Stabler : Yeah, the Marines gave me a physical when I finished my tour. I'll bet the Army does the same thing.
