Quotes

Detective Brian Cassidy : What's that?
Elliot Stabler : [handing a report to Cragen] Take a look at that. Fingerprint check on Pancek. I'd say that gives us a whole different kind of motive.
Captain Donald Cragen : [glancing at the report] See if any of the victims are in the New York area. Your partner may not like this.
Elliot Stabler : Why? It's a murder investigation.
Captain Donald Cragen : Yeah. Yeah, it is. Just don't let her forget we don't get to pick the vic.
[Much and Cassidy exchange confused glances]
Detective John Munch : Are we missing some key piece of information here?
Elliot Stabler , Captain Donald Cragen : Shut up, John.
-
Detective John Munch : No way! I'm never setting foot in the city of Baltimore again as long as I'm on this mortal sphere!
-
Detective Monique Jefferies : Hey, you guys going to eat all this?
Detective John Munch : Suppose we say 'yes'?
Detective Monique Jefferies : Suppose I'm just being polite?
Detective John Munch : Oh, that would be a first...
Detective Brian Cassidy : That's cool, John doesn't eat vegetables.
Detective Monique Jefferies : Yeah? The way I heard, that's the only thing John never gets to uh... eat.
Detective Brian Cassidy : Ouch.
-
Detective John Munch : What about your erstwhile partner?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Oh, I'd love to John, but my presence is required in court this morning.
Detective Brian Cassidy : I read about it in the news. City councilman right?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Weenie wagger.
-
Captain Donald Cragen : Okay, Olivia, let's just say the vic had the misfortune of buying the wrong hack license. Spicer's the target. Who wanted him dead?
Detective John Munch : Whoever called the dispatcher.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Wow.
Detective Olivia Benson : Nice. Good stuff. Keep that.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Thanks, thanks a lot.
Detective John Munch : It never stops.
Detective John Munch : [to Cragen about donuts] You know they have more varieties than that.

Detective Elliot Stabler : That was the M.E. The stab wounds... 37 of them. This still reads gay to me.
Captain Donald Cragen : Panacek's prints are clean here, right?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yes.
Captain Donald Cragen : So do this by the numbers. He's illegal, send a set to Interpol too.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Forensics report...
Captain Donald Cragen : What?
Detective Elliot Stabler : They found part of a fingernail in the front seat of the cab with red nail polish on it.
Detective Olivia Benson : Dispatcher said that he thought it might have been a woman who called about Spicer.
Captain Donald Cragen : Kind of undercuts your gay theory, huh?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Could be a he/she?
Captain Donald Cragen : Didn't two of Spicer's married johns take a bust?
Detective Olivia Benson : Yeah, about six months ago vice was targeting the piers.
Captain Donald Cragen : I'm sure their wives must have been thrilled.
Captain Donald Cragen : [Munch chuckles] What are you doing?
Detective John Munch : Eavesdropping.

Detective John Munch : A military plane drops J.F.K.'s coffin in the middle into 9,000 feet of water three years after the assassination. You don't fund that suggestive-perhaps even a tad bit disquieting?
Detective Brian Cassidy : No.
Detective John Munch : No? The Justice Department waits 33 years before they impart this tidbit on the American people. And then they say they did it because it wasn't evidence? What are you sheep? Will you believe anything?
-
Detective Monique Jefferies : Doesn't sound like there's much doubt on the C.O.D.
Detective John Munch : Do you think that you're conclusional pole vaults are personality or gender-driven?
Detective Monique Jefferies : I don't know, John. What about deductively logical?
Detective John Munch : Oh really? I had what looked like a stabbing once in Baltimore, it turns out some guy was getting divorced and drank drain cleaner and his soon-to-be-unmarried widow discovered him dead-no alimony. She stabbed him 15 times out of pique.
