- A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael: What was it called before we invented the terms date rape and sexual assault?
- Captain Donald Cragen: Boys will be boys?
- Olivia Benson: It's Detective, not Miss. And you're in my house, Counselor, so... why don't you save your lawyering for somebody who gives a damn?
- [Stabler catches his daughter sneaking into the house at two in the morning]
- Elliot Stabler: Out, nothing, nobody. Those are your answers to me?
- Maureen Stabler: Uh-huh.
- Elliot Stabler: Fine. You're busted. You're grounded. Go to your room.
- Maureen Stabler: Wait, for how long?
- Elliot Stabler: Until I got some answers or you turn eighteen, whichever comes first.
- [the detectives are requiring a sperm sample from Couger and another young man]
- Riley Couger: I can't do this.
- Elliot Stabler: You have a fight with your right hand? Sure you can.
- [learning the victim's BAC was three times the legal limit]
- Captain Donald Cragen: There was a time I yearned for a woman who could drink like that.
- Abbot McCourt: These situations often come down to the student's word against that of a wellliked professor.
- Elliot Stabler: Sir, Ms. Gallagher is not speaking much these days.
- Abbot McCourt: I've had several discussions with Henri, and we've agreed that he will modify his behavior accordingly. You see, in our world...
- Elliot Stabler: In our world, Father, behavior modification means prison time.
- Abbot McCourt: For unwanted attention? Please.
- Elliot Stabler: Again, sir, we call it "stalking." Legally, "harassment two." If we find priors, it goes up to "menacing in the first degree."
- Abbot McCourt: Menace...? Well, that's in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?
- Elliot Stabler: No, Father. It's in the eye of the District Attorney.
- Olivia Benson: [searching for their murder weapon] What if he pushes her down the stairs? This whole time, we've been assuming that the rock hit her.
- Elliot Stabler: Maybe she hit the rock.
- Elliot Stabler: [staring at the place where a body has been found that is covered in flowers and such] Just once, I want to see people take a little bit of a breather before they let the healing begin. Look at this. 'Enrolled in God's college now. We love you, Jeanne.'
- Olivia Benson: Come on Elliot. It's a spontaneous outpouring of emotion.
- Elliot Stabler: I'm just saying, If ever go down, you better make sure the place where my body is found doesn't EVER look like this or I will haunt you for the rest of your days.
- Olivia Benson: Gotcha.
- John Munch: He doesn't get away with anything. The grand jury's got enough to indict him. Believe me, what goes around comes around.
- Chuck Mosley: No, it doesn't.
- Riley Couger: You know the way those people get.
- John Munch: The way what people get?
- Riley Couger: You know, street players. Don't you mess with my homies and all that gangsta rap crap. Thinking they can get away with anything cuz they're so bad.
- John Munch: As opposed to suburban white boys who think they can get away with anything because of their daddies' money?
- Riley Couger: Yeah?
