- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Those who fight monsters had better make damn sure they don't become one.
- [Lauren reaches into the back of her waistband]
- Detective Chester Lake: Gun!
- [before Benson and Lake can react, Lauren puts the gun to her head and pulls the trigger]
- Dr. Melinda Warner: [while examining the murder victim] Uterus punctured by a foreign object, colon punctured by a foreign object...
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: I don't think we need to hear any more.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: I speak for the dead and I'm not done!
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: [to Olivia] Proud of yourself?
- Olivia Benson: I would have been proud to help you collar the bastard who murdered 24 women. That would have satisfied me.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: That wasn't enough.
- Olivia Benson: Why not?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: You know why. How many dead babies have you stood over? How many rape victims? You can't tell me you never wanted to put your gun under the bastard's chin who raped a 2-year-old.
- Olivia Benson: I have too much to lose.
- Dr. George Huang: Agent Cooper, did you notice a change in personality In Dr. Tillman after any specific victim?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Why?
- Dr. George Huang: The profile has a lot of errors and omissions. If i could pinpoint which victim provoked his breakdown, I could start fresh from there.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: I can't help you.
- Dr. George Huang: Well, try, Agent Cooper. The Woodsman is torturing his next victim right now.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Don't you think i know what's at stake? I didn't notice anything wrong. If I had, I would have stopped him from killing himself. He was my mentor and I didn't see it coming.
- Olivia Benson: [about Amy Doe] She's not gonna make it, Lauren. We need to find her family.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: [crying] What if she doesn't have one?
- Olivia Benson: You okay?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: [crying] No. Like I said, I'm not used to dealing with victims.
- Olivia Benson: [to Lauren] You stalked Moore, you killed him and then you left his last victim to die.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: That's not true.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, well, your little act may have worked on your precious mentor, but I'm gonna tell you something, I'm not buying it.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Leave Tillman out of this
- Olivia Benson: How can I? This whole thing is about Tillman. He put a bullet in his brain because he couldn't take the stress, and now you put one in Moore because you wanted to make him pay.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: You must be pretty desperate to use a bush-league tactic like that.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, well, you seem pretty rattled by it. I can see you don't like me talking about him. Now, just exactly how close were you two?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: He was like a father to me.
- Olivia Benson: Oh, is that what they're calling it now?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: I swear, if you publicly malign Dr. Tillman in any way, I guarantee the federal building will fall on you like a ton of bricks.
- Olivia Benson: [to Lauren] Why did Dr. Tillman kill himself?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Why does any cop eat his gun? I grew up in a group home. Carl recruited me in my junior year of college. Working with him was like having a father for the first time. You know what I mean?
- Olivia Benson: No, I don't.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Job's your family?
- Olivia Benson: Yeah.
- Dr. Parnell: [about Amy Doe] What the hell happened to this woman?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: Everything.
- Detective Chester Lake: When I find this hero, I'm gonna give the guy a medal.
- Donald Cragen: Well, in case you've forgotten, Detective, homicide is against the law no matter who the victim was.
- Detective Chester Lake: No disrespect, Captain, but the prick got what was coming to him.
- Donald Cragen: And I'd rather have the Woodsman alive to answer questions, lead us to bodies, bring closure to grieving families.
- Detective Chester Lake: We both know serial killers don't cooperate until they've run out of options.
- Donald Cragen: And now we'll never know.
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: [to Olivia] Must get a lot of confessions in here. Can't wait to unburden the soul, confirm your deepest suspicions. They want absolution, they wanna be able to sleep at night.
- Olivia Benson: Can you sleep at night, Lauren?
- FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper: I sleep just fine.
- Detective Chester Lake: [while looking for the murder weapon] I'm gonna blow your freaking brains out.
- CSU Captain Judith Siper: You better not be talking to me.
- Olivia Benson: Where's the gun, Mrs. Tillman?
- Mrs. Tillman: I gave it to Lauren as a keepsake. I don't like guns. I never have.
- Detective Chester Lake: We'll need you to sign a statement.
- Mrs. Tillman: I'm well aware of what you need, young man, but you're not going to get it.
- Olivia Benson: You could be charged with obstruction, withholding information from the police...
- Mrs. Tillman: How about accessory after the fact? You might even make a conspiracy case if you tried.
- Olivia Benson: Sounds like you helped Lauren plan the murder.
- Mrs. Tillman: No, I didn't.
- Detective Chester Lake: Then why won't you cooperate?
- Mrs. Tillman: My husband obsessed over the Woodsman. Every victim he killed took a little bit more out of Carl. It crushed him. He never would have let that vicious killer sit in a cushy cell for the rest of his life. I guess Lauren felt the same way.
- Olivia Benson: Did Agent Cooper tell you that she was gonna use your husband's gun to shoot Larry Moore?
- Mrs. Tillman: I won't lie, but I certainly won't help you put her away.
- Casey Novak: [to A.D.A. Ramos about the Woodsman] It doesn't matter what he did. Larry Moore was murdered. That's a class "A" felony.
- Executive A.D.A. Lydia Ramos: I presume you live on planet Earth. Where are you gonna find a jury pool that doesn't think the guy deserved to die?
- Casey Novak: If Agent Cooper confesses, I can drop the charges down to man two.
- Olivia Benson: That's 10 years, Casey. A minister's wife killed her husband with a shotgun and got 67 days. Where's the justice in that?
- Olivia Benson: You Lavender?
- Levander: It's La-VAN-der. Do I look like a damn flower to you?
- Levander: [Levander is wearing a lavender coloured suit]
