- Detective Olivia Benson: [cynically] It's a miracle, she can swim.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: And she can walk.
- Detective Olivia Benson: How'd he get out when the door was locked from the inside?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: The window.
- [they go to the window]
- Detective Elliot Stabler: It's an eight story drop from here. Our guy didn't get out of here unless he was Spiderman.
- Detective John Munch: Walter Inman, you are under arrest for the murder of Vicky Riggs and Josie Post. And for assaulting one of New York's finest finest.
- Wally Rimaldi: Do I look like a killer to you?
- Detective Olivia Benson: You look like a man who exploits women for a living, Mr. Rimaldi.
- Wally Rimaldi: Joyce is about to bleed that guy for every dollar in his wallet. Who's exploiting who?
- Detective Olivia Benson: I believe Linus. I don't think he slept with Josie.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: A man's DNA doesn't just pop up inside a woman without his participation.
- Dr. George Huang: [to Tessa] You know, some doctors might think that you have Munchausen's. You know what that is?
- Tessa McKellen: I'm not making myself sick. Who would ever wanna endure what I've had to go through?
- Dr. George Huang: Good question. You're beautiful, you're rich. You have a great career. I think that you crave attention so much that you made your husband into your servant.
- Tessa McKellen: My husband loves me.
- Dr. George Huang: Your husband had an affair.
- Tessa McKellen: Vicky seduced him.
- Dr. George Huang: That's why you hired Inman to kill her.
- Tessa McKellen: I haven't seen Inman since the Silverhammer trial.
- Dr. George Huang: He says that you gave him a list of bacterial cultures that you wanted him to steal.
- Tessa McKellen: He is a liar.
- Dr. George Huang: The list is in your handwriting.
- Tessa McKellen: He was in Special OPs. He has access to the best forgers in the world.
- Dr. George Huang: So you're saying that Inman's persecuting you?
- Tessa McKellen: He hates me. I lost the case and now he's taking it out on me and my husband. If I wasn't stuck in this chair, I would kill him myself.
- Tessa McKellen: What's gonna happen to me now? Who's gonna take care of me?
- Detective Olivia Benson: The warden will. You'll never be alone in prison.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: [to Walter Inman] Now where did you get Linus' semen? Did you two have little "don't ask, don't tell" thing going? Walter, why'd you do it?
- Walter Inman: I don't know what you're talking about, but if you get any closer, I'll jam my knee in your balls so hard, you'll have to spit them out.
- Dr. George Huang: [to Novak] From everything that you're telling me, it seems to me that Tessa has a factitious disorder. Munchausen's syndrome.
- Casey Novak: She's making herself sick to get attention?
- Dr. George Huang: She was in a nearly fatal car accident and she does have diabetes. The syringe that Olivia and Elliot took from her contained insulin, but my guess is that she just became addicted to all the attention she gets being sick.
- Casey Novak: Well, it's one thing to play sick to get attention and another to inject yourself with streptococcus bacteria. I mean, she could have died.
- Casey Novak: [after Tessa McKellan has a seizure in the courtroom] The seizure was self-induced. Tessa McKellen intentionally OD'd on insulin.
- Attorney Walsh: Proving my point. She is not fit to stand trial.
- Casey Novak: Your honor, she is manipulating the court. She's faking illness to get sympathy and dodge a life sentence.
- Attorney Walsh: My client is sick, your Honor. She cannot stop. Whenever she's under stress, she will make herself ill.
- Casey Novak: Well, then, gee, why don't we let her off before she injects herself with HIV?
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Nobody is talking about letting her off, but I'm concerned about another incident like today. I don't think Mrs. McKellen is fit to stand trial at the moment. She needs psychiatric treatment.
- Attorney Walsh: We agree, your Honor. And we ask that because of the rarity of this condition and her paralysis, that she be given treatment in a private hospital, which, of course, my client will pay for.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: That sounds reasonable.
- Casey Novak: And when she gets out, who's she gonna kill next?
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: That's enough, Counselor.
- Attorney Walsh: My client will surrender in the morning, your honor.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Her bail is continued and your request is granted.
- Casey Novak: Your Honor, don't fall for this.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Don't question the ruling of this court, Ms. Novak. If and when the defendant is well enough to stand trial, she will. Until then, she will receive the treatment she needs.
- Casey Novak: I have a bulletproof case against Tessa, but I can't put her on trial so long as she's hanging out at some cushy private mental hospital.
- Dr. George Huang: At least she'll be in some locked ward where she won't hurt herself or anybody else.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Yeah, but she belongs in prison with her hit man buddy Inman.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Is there any way to change Petrovsky's mind?
- Dr. George Huang: Show her that Tessa's a manipulative calculating bitch who planned this defense meticulously just like the murders.
