Quotes 

• Detective Olivia Benson : Do you realize that disseminating pornography to a minor is a felony?

  Dr. Preston Blair : I showed them art books.

  Elliot Stabler : Doc, I saw the art in your office, and even I was uncomfortable at how many phalluses were on display.

  Dr. Preston Blair : That's because you're a bourgeois American, completely uptight about sex. It's what screws up your children and turns them into sex offenders.

  Elliot Stabler : You lost me at "bourgeois".

• Detective Olivia Benson : [after Dr. Blair is murdered and the Stanton twins are considered suspects]  Can we charge both of them?

  Casey Novak : And what, have two separate trials? Dual theories of the crime give each of them grounds for dismissal.

  Detective Olivia Benson : They came up with the perfect crime.

  Casey Novak : Until you get one of them to flip.

  Elliot Stabler : That's not gonna happen. They're way too close.

• Detective Olivia Benson : [to Mr. and Mrs. Stanton about Lindsay]  Well, we understand that you sent her to a sex therapist. Along with her brother.

  Elliot Stabler : Is there something going on between them? Sexually?

  Mrs. Stanton : Oh, my God. Of course not.

  Elliot Stabler : If you know they're having sex and you've allowed it to continue under your roof, we can arrest both of you for endangering the welfare of your children.

  Mr. Stanton : Okay, we're done here. Get out of my house.

  [the detectives leave the Stanton house] 

  Detective Olivia Benson : That pushed some buttons.

  Elliot Stabler : He's just pissed they ran out of excuses.

• Elliot Stabler : That's why the Feds are here: mail fraud, ongoing criminal conspiracy. They'll be trying you under RICO.

  Carmen : Never heard of him.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Sweetheart, it's a law that'll keep you in jail till you're old and wrinkled.

  Elliot Stabler : Unless you wanna tell me who can call the dogs off Katie.

  Carmen : I ain't talking to no police! Let's go meet Rico whoever the hell he is.

• Dr. Preston Blair : [about Lindsay]  In order for the experiment to work, she has to look like a girl, be treated like a girl, and taught to act like a girl.

  Elliot Stabler : Your experiment didn't work.

  Dr. Preston Blair : I disagree.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Lindsay's miserable.

  Dr. Preston Blair : What 14-year-old girl isn't?

• [the detectives are interrogating a sex therapist who used some controversial experimental procdeures on teenagers] 

  Elliot Stabler : Doc, I saw the 'art' in your office, and even I was uncomfortable with how many phalluses were on display.

  Dr. Preston Blair : That's because you're a bourgeios American, completely uptight about sex. It's what screws up your children and turns them into sex offenders.

  Elliot Stabler : ...You lost me at 'bourgeois.'

• Dr. Melinda Warner : I'm still waiting for DNA results from saliva off the bite marks, but I did run a chromosomal analysis to narrow down a few genetic traits.

  Elliot Stabler : Great. We'll print up flyers, hope somebody recognizes her genes.

• Dr. Rebecca Hendrix : How many children have you had who caused the death of their attackers? You have to appreciate how much that compounds the trauma of the sexual assault.

  Detective Olivia Benson : And you have to appreciate that this is an open homicide. He's gonna have to work with us.

  Dr. Rebecca Hendrix : I don't have to tell you the staggering statistics on how few boys report their rapes.

  Detective Olivia Benson : No, you don't.

  Dr. Rebecca Hendrix : And there might be other factors. If Logan is homosexual, he may feel he somehow brought it on himself.

  Elliot Stabler : He's coming to terms with his sexuality. He's conflicted. It's a theory.

• Elliot Stabler : [about Lindsay]  Why is she taking the blame for him?

  Dr. Rebecca Hendrix : They're twins. They develop closer bonds than most siblings. There are documented cases where one twin, thousands of miles away, knew the exact moment when the other one died.

  Detective Olivia Benson : What, Lindsay empathically sensed when Logan was attacked?

• Odafin Tutuola : Luis comes up here to rape Katie. Instead, he finds another banger tagging his turf.

  Elliot Stabler : And he teaches him a lesson by making him his bitch?

• Detective Olivia Benson : What the hell are they saying?

  Elliot Stabler : It's a made up language, my twins had one when they were little.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Carmen and Tiny]  Ladies, sorry for your loss.

  Carmen : I didn't lose. I'm high scorer.

  Elliot Stabler : I'm talking about your gang brother, Luis.

  Tiny : We ain't no bangers.

  Detective Olivia Benson : [looking at Tiny's nails]  Sweetie, you have SCA stenciled across your nails.

  Tiny : Gotta belong somewhere, yo.

  Elliot Stabler : Right, with a bunch of guys who abuse you?

  Carmen : Assassins take care of us.

  Detective Olivia Benson : How? By using you as drug mules? Pimping you out? Beating you up?

  Tiny : It's better than the crap I get at home.
