- Odafin Tutuola: [interrupting a college class to remove a suspect] Sorry for interrupting. Stay in school.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: Is there anyone else on this campus who might know her a little better than you?
- Gloria Kulhane: Okay, it's no secret. I didn't like Caroline, but I had no reason to kill her.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: She was writing all your papers. The school was investigating. Your ass was about to be expelled.
- Gloria Kulhane: Hudson won't expel anyone. Higher grades keep parents happy and happy parents are big donors.
- Gloria Kulhane: I told you my alibi would check out.
- Odafin Tutuola: Singing the Indigo Girls in five-part harmony. That's painful.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: I got a feeling we're gonna need to speak to you again, so don't hop on any flights to France.
- Gloria Kulhane: Cop, comedian. Is there anything you don't do?
- Det. Elliot Stabler: [to Novak] Look, we come from the same place. The guy works his ass off to get into Hudson and these rich kids treat him like crap. You know how that feels.
- ADA Casey Novak: Yeah. I waited tables in law school and served my classmates. It sucked, but it didn't make me kill anyone.
- Dr. George Huang: [to Stabler about Adam] What's going on with you and this kid?
- Det. Elliot Stabler: You know, when I was Adam's age, I worked at my uncle's bar. One night, I'm out back emptying the trash when these two rich punks jumped me. Now, I know who they were because they'd spit in my face earlier in the night when I wouldn't serve them drinks. They had no I.D. So we're rolling around, we're throwing punches, and I pick up a bottle and I bust one of them over the head with it. Kid nearly died. Cops come, I give them my story, they send me home. Next day, two detectives come to my doorstep and they arrest me.
- Dr. George Huang: For defending yourself.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: Well, the kid's father was a partner in some white-shoe law firm. He had a friend in the DA's office, but my dad called in a favor from an old police academy buddy, so he made the whole thing go away.
- Dr. George Huang: This wasn't just about self-defense. You were pissed.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: Look, this kid spit in my face. He treats me like I'm a working class piece of trash?
- ADA Casey Novak: Adam isn't addicted to gambling. He's addicted to you.
- Gloria Kulhane: Is that so hard to believe?
- Det. Elliot Stabler: They don't allow diamond rings in prison. Think you're gonna have to settle for silver bracelets.
- Doug Kersten: I don't know anything about a dead chick I sure don't know what the hell I'm doing here. Get my lawyer.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: You're gonna need him, pal. We've got a paint match on that wall, and you've got a $150,000 motive.
- Odafin Tutuola: That's pretty much a lock.
- Doug Kersten: Why don't you shove your lock up your ass?
- Odafin Tutuola: What'd you say to me?
- Donald Cragen: Fin, Elliot. My office.
- [in Cragen's office]
- Donald Cragen: This is Tom Cole. Secret Service. He's got some fascinating news.
- Agent Tom Cole: Riley's with us.
- Odafin Tutuola: An informant?
- Agent Tom Cole: Agent. Name's Doug Kersten. He's a long term undercover working up a case.
- Det. Elliot Stabler: What's the target?
- Agent Tom Cole: Underground gambling clubs and their links to organized crime, domestic and foreign.
- Odafin Tutuola: All the gin joints in the city and we had to walk into yours.
- Agent Tom Cole: Agent Kersten is not your killer. He'll brief you, but I've got to protect the integrity of our investigation.
- Donald Cragen: [to Fin and Stabler] Get him out of the cage without blowing his cover.
- Agent Tom Cole: [leaving the precinct with Kersten] You'll be lucky if my client doesn't press charges.
- Doug Kersten: My lawyer will be seeing the police commissioner tomorrow. Why don't you go solve a real crime instead of bothering an honest businessman?
- Det. Elliot Stabler: Take it easy there, tough guy.
- Doug Kersten: Don't even talk to me, ass wipe. You picked the wrong guy to mess with.
- Odafin Tutuola: Running a casino is illegal.
- Doug Kersten: Who's running a casino? I was entertaining friends.
- [Cole and Kersten walk into the elevator]
- Doug Kersten: Atrium, 56th and 5th. 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
- Walter Camp: [to Novak] You have no idea what gambling addiction is like, do you? Last year, I lost $30,000 in one night playing poker online. And the next night, I chased my losses, and I lost another 40 grand. My wife jammed my laptop down the garbage chute and made me go to counseling. I kept on playing. You know what made me stop? Loan sharks broke my leg.
- ADA Casey Novak: But you didn't kill your wife to pay the loan sharks off with her insurance money, did you?
