Quotes 

• Elliot Stabler : Jason, how long has your mother been sleeping with you?

  Jason Mayberry : What are you talking about? That's crazy.

  Elliot Stabler : Jason, listen to me. She had no right to touch you like that. She had no right to abuse you.

  Jason Mayberry : You're crazy. You know that. You're all You're all crazy. Hey! Hey! Is that what happens to all you people here? The sex police, sex on the brain. Well, my mother never touched me like that.

• Dr. Melinda Warner : [During the murder victim's autopsy]  External examination found no traces of semen. Further testing showed spermicides usually found in condoms.

  [places an organ on the scale] 

  Elliot Stabler : This is fun.

• Jason Mayberry : [to Stabler]  How long you been married?

  Elliot Stabler : Sixteen year sentence. Sixteen long, dry years.

  Jason Mayberry : Any kids?

  Elliot Stabler : Too many. Creditor just called. I'm in hock up to my ass. My wife shops and if I take away her credit cards, she don't give me any.

• Elliot Stabler : I've been doing this a long time, Jason. I know it's true. The women victims for the most part were asking for it. They take our manhood, they suck us dry, they mess with our heads and then they're surprised when we fight back.

• Elliot Stabler : Jason, it wasn't your fault.

  Jason Mayberry : Yes, yes. Yes, it was. I'm a dirty little boy. I can't keep my hands to myself. You lying boy. Don't look, look. Don't touch, touch me.

  [moans] 

  Jason Mayberry : Go away. No, come here and hold me. Mmm, baby, doesn't that feel so good? You're a good little boy. Shh.

• Elliot Stabler : [about Jason Mayberry's confession after it's thrown out]  He wasn't under arrest.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : I specifically cautioned you about the custodial issue.

  Donald Cragen : No, you said that he was to be free to go at any time. My detective persuaded him otherwise. He did a hell of a job getting that confession.

  Elliot Stabler : Whose side you on?

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Mine. You know the trial closure rate for sex crimes cases is four percent. Four percent. There are a lot of factors responsible for that, but I never...

  Elliot Stabler : I did my job, Counselor. Don't blame me if you didn't do yours. I stayed in that room and pushed him to the edge. You lost him on a technicality.

  Donald Cragen : All right. That's enough, both of you.

• Jason Mayberry : [to Stabler]  Bad news?

  Elliot Stabler : You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Stupid, stone-crunching slut.

  Jason Mayberry : Who?

  Elliot Stabler : My wife.

• Jason Mayberry : Ronnie was gonna leave that pitiful excuse for a man to be with me, but then she couldn't because she got pregnant. That baby could be mine.

  Elliot Stabler : That baby is dead. Mother's dead, baby's dead. You killed them both.

  Jason Mayberry : You're just making this up because you have to blame someone. It wasn't me.

  [begins to leave the room] 

  Elliot Stabler : You yoked her! You raped her! And when she pleaded for her life and that of her unborn child, you stuck your knife into her back to make her shut up. That's what really happened, Jason. Just admit it.

  Jason Mayberry : [turns around]  No, I did not kill her!

• ADA Alexandra Cabot : [about Jason Mayberry]  I've shown you all my cards, Malcolm. What's it going to be?

  Malcolm Sanderson : No judge is going to sign a warrant based on what you've got, Alex.

  Olivia Benson : Credit card receipts from area stores and witness statements which put him in his mother's house after each attack. What more could you possibly need?

  Malcolm Sanderson : That isn't enough to prove that he stashed a murder weapon in his mother's home.

  Elliot Stabler : What has to happen before you get off your collective asses and do your jobs?

  Malcolm Sanderson : Look, I know you're upset, Detective, but the law doesn't allow...

  Elliot Stabler : Just tell me what you need? You need a New Jersey victim to do something? He admitted to everything...

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Detective!

  Elliot Stabler : We got his confession on tape. We just couldn't hold him.

  Malcolm Sanderson : You don't make a lot of friends, do you?

  Elliot Stabler : Yeah, well.
