- John Munch: [to Fin] Your Jew? Your Jew? What if I called you my boy?
- Fin Tutuola: I'll be your boy, John!
- [laughs]
- John Munch: This is not funny. We're not in Narcotics. You cowboy. Fast and loose doesn't play here.
- Fin Tutuola: Look, we got his cell phone number. We got him.
- John Munch: And I got a small ventricular rupture pulled out of me with no warning. What's the matter with you?
- Det. Elliot Stabler: [to Lance Kanick] There are 39,000 of us. Anything happens to Jill, we're all gonna be looking for a piece of you.
- Donald Cragen: A girl OD'd and died alone. Her father, a decorated cop, no pension, his family in shambles. But you know what really, really scares me? That all you people are concerned about is some lying murdering sack of crap.
- IAB Detective #2: In this country, that lying, murdering sack of crap has rights, too, Captain.
- Donald Cragen: Tito. Jill Foster. They're both dead. What about their rights?
- Lorna Frankel: This is a free country.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: No, it's a democracy and the majority of us do not like what's going on here.
- Dr. Taylor: [to Stabler and Benson about a deceased teenage girl] When nobody claims her, I'll pay for a funeral.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: [about Lance Kanick] He ain't giving it up.
- Det. John Munch: I know.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: We can get it out of him.
- Det. John Munch: We don't do that here.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: I heard the speech and I'll listen to it, but not today. Kanick won't deal, so don't ask me to do that.
- Det. John Munch: Cabot's right. Kanick shouldn't get out.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: So some little girl goes down the tubes? Look, my way, we can get both jobs done.
- Det. John Munch: I don't do that anymore. I'm old and it's tiring.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: I'll do the heavy lifting.
- Det. John Munch: It's not the heavy lifting. Everything you do comes back at you, blows to the soul. It's the metaphysical heavy lifting I can't do anymore.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: I can work this one alone.
- Det. John Munch: I don't wanna know about it.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: When I worked Narcotics, nobody counted. One drug dealer rips off another drug dealer. There were no good guys. When I came over to SVU, it was different. They got real victims, okay?
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: [about Lance Kanick] I'm not putting that animal back on the streets. He killed with a tire iron, with a gun. No remorse. He gets out in 20 years, he'll be killing with something else. Murdering someone else.
- Donald Cragen: Alex, we can save a life today, not prevent some hypothetical murder 20 years down the road. There's a girl out there that needs our help now!
- Tito Frank: [to Stabler] Nobody's talking to you and a mall queen.
- [referring to Jeffries]
- Tito Frank: What about the black chick?
- Det. Olivia Benson: The black chick has other duties.
- Doorman: That's one of my hobbies, remembering license plates.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: You like to try making them?
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: [about Lance Kanick] It'll take eight years to exhaust his appeals. He'll spend all of that time alone in a cell half the size of this room. A call will be made to the Governor's home an hour before the execution. Some bleeding heart with a desperate plea for his life. I intend to answer that call.
- Donald Cragen: This is a cop's child. What else matters? The D.A.'s office has made worse deals. We see murderers out on the street in less time for reasons with a lot less validity every day. We have to stomach that every day. It's not just the people in this room, Alex. Everybody in blue knows about the Foster case. This is in the family.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: Kanick will murder again.
- Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: So you're murdering now. How's that supposed to settle with the grunts?
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: What are you saying?
- Det. John Munch: What he's saying is, it's harder to do our jobs if we've lost faith in the D.A.'s office.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: Are you threatening me?
- Det. John Munch: It's a blanket statement.
- [talking to Lorna Frankel in the interrogation room of the 16th Precinct]
- Det. John Munch: Your rap sheet: In '79, you were porn princess Layla Cream Cheese.
- [Munch's "wow, nice name" face]
- [Alex enters the interrogation room, where Lorna is waiting, and sits down]
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: I'm Alex Cabot, DA's office.
- [Lorna, who is obviously on some sort of drugs, walks to Alex before sitting]
- Lorna Frankel: I want my phone call. It's been 12 hours.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: Right...
- Donald Cragen: [to Frank] You okay?
- Sgt. Frank Foster: Not gonna be okay till they find Jill.
- Donald Cragen: Your union rep called me. They're trying for ROR.
- Sgt. Frank Foster: What difference does it make? I took hostages. It's over for me.
- Donald Cragen: Frank, we're friends. I stood up at your wedding. Why didn't you call me?
- Sgt. Frank Foster: And tell you what? My daughter had it with her lousy father and decided to take off? What would you have thought of me then?
- Donald Cragen: That you need help.
- Sgt. Frank Foster: Every day, I was out there taking dope off the streets. Jill was putting it up her nose. Smoking it, popping pills, whatever. It was like she was intentionally slapping me in the face.
- Donald Cragen: You're not the first cop whose kid has a drug problem.
- Sgt. Frank Foster: Maybe not, but I did what any parent with his head up his ass would do. I made it about me. How's the narc gonna look if he can't keep his own kid clean?
- Donald Cragen: You saved my ass that night when we were rookies in East New York. Waited one second longer, I'm lying in a box and we're never having this conversation.
- Donald Cragen: [When Ted Bolger comes into the squad room] Juveniles with a $500-an-hour mouthpiece. There goes your motivational fear.
- Donald Cragen: [to Munch] John, what the hell were you thinking? A good cop's in prison, his daughter was mixed up with scum, and you and Fin are out of control. If this compromises my investigation, I'm holding both of you personally responsible.
- Lance Kanick: [to Cabot] Man one, fifteen. You get Bolger and that girl you're looking for.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: No deal.
- Lance Kanick: No girl.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: Lethal injection.
- Lance Kanick: Heroin addiction.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: There is one offer on the table. That's it.
- Lance Kanick: A cop's kid, too. I thought you all went the extra mile for one of your own.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: It's my deal or the death penalty.
- A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot: [to Lorna Frankel] I think Bolger's more than a lawyer. I think he's a partner. You make that connection stick, you'll be out of jail before menopause.
