Quotes 

• Donald Cragen : [about Richard Manning]  All because his wife was carrying another man's child.

  Dr. George Huang : Well, you know, it could've been enough to push him over the edge. He was cuckolded. It's pretty common. You see it in nature. The female of the species seeks out the male who exhibits the most desirable traits. You know, most species aren't naturally monogamous.

  Detective John Munch : That explains my entire marital history.

• Detective Elliot Stabler : You saw that baby. Olivia, you saw that baby. This guy's gonna walk.

  Alexandra Cabot : And I don't like it any more than you do, but this is very dangerous territory and I am not prepared to dismantle reproductive rights on an inconclusive case.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : We're going to let a murderer get away to preserve a political ideal. I don't even know what I'm doing here!

  Donald Cragen : Take a break, Detective.
