- Elliot Stabler: You ever try to put three kids to bed hopped up on pizza and soda?
- Donald Cragen: Well, maybe Malcolm's got the magic touch.
- Elliot Stabler: Cannot be done. Trust me.
- Lindsay Royce: I'm sick of Staten Island! I am sick of carpools and juice boxes and soccer games. I wanted a little glamour.
- [to Stabler]
- Lindsay Royce: I bet you're married. Did it ever cross your mind that your wife might wanna do a little bit more than just make beds and cook dinner?
- Malcolm Royce: [When Stabler finds Malcolm Royce on the roof of the hospital about to commit suicide] Leave me alone, Detective. I should have died tonight.
- Elliot Stabler: But you didn't. You're alive for a reason.
- Malcolm Royce: I don't care. I don't want to live without my family.
- Elliot Stabler: I can't let you do this.
- Malcolm Royce: Why not? Why do you care?
- Elliot Stabler: Because you're a good man, Malcolm who's been through an unimaginable ordeal.
- Malcolm Royce: I've lost everyone I love.
- Elliot Stabler: Look, you dying is not gonna bring them back.
- Malcolm Royce: But it'll stop the pain. God, it hurts. My kids.
- Elliot Stabler: Malcolm, they wouldn't want this. They'd want you to go on. Think of them. Drew, Tyler, Jennifer. They love you. They'd want you to be happy.
- Kathleen Stabler: [When Stabler stays the night at his home with Kathy] Dad, what are you doing here?
- Elliot Stabler: I came by to see you guys.
- Kathleen Stabler: At 2:00 in the morning?
- Elliot Stabler: I had a long day.
- Kathleen Stabler: It isn't fair to Mom.
- Elliot Stabler: Look, I called. She said it was okay.
- Kathleen Stabler: That's not what I mean. We're your family, not some booty call. Come home or don't, but there's nothing in between.
- Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran: [Elliot wrestles with him with a laser gun to recreate the mark left by a bullet in a supposed struggle] You can aim it a hundred different ways but unless you break my wrist you're not going to be able to make that mark. Now try shooting yourself.
