- Detective Elliot Stabler: [tackling an arson suspect] Where you going? You're running like your pants are on fire.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [holding up a hand-held blowtorch the suspect dropped] Well, what do you know? They almost were.
- Dr. Iggy Drexel: Fire Marshals, don't get me started. Did you know it only takes one 40-hour class to become a Fire Marshal? I spent seven years getting my PhD. I did my Dissertation on the Physics of combustion.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Good thing I didn't get you started.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: I remember what you told me about trials, you told me good prosecutors get convictions and...
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe, Jack McCoy: And great ones get justice.
- Jack McCoy: I give that speech to all new ADAs.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Well I believed you. Now I'm asking you to believe me.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What'd you call us down for?
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Well, when you got two dead little girls, the Ledger's gonna run it on the front page.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: So you want answers before they hit you with the questions.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Yeah. The only time I like to be surprised with my pants down is on my birthday.
- [Benson is surprised to find out Stabler's old partner is female]
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What are you talking about? I've been telling you Jo Marlowe stories for years.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Except the one where Jo is actually a woman.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Or maybe Frank killed his kids and we'll never know it unless we find a smoking gun.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What about a smoking house?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Well, we can't burn a house down.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: I can.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: [about Michael Parisi] Arsonists love to watch their handiwork. Problem is Mikey's not watching. He's got his eyes closed.
- Detective Olivia Benson: He's having a private moment.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: He's getting off.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: I light a couple of candles if I want to get in the mood. I don't torch my house.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: I need to re-interview Dad. See if he'll put the bastard there.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Frank said that he didn't see anybody hanging around last night.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: You think I don't trust your interview skills?
- Detective Olivia Benson: I think that you have a much more hands-on approach than most D.A.'s
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Cut the euphemisms, Olivia.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Just because you were a cop doesn't mean that you're on our side.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: I wasn't just a cop. I was Elliot's partner. I wouldn't betray him any more than you would.
- Detective Olivia Benson: You transferred back here to work with him again.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Jack McCoy needed to replace Cabot, so I was drafted. It's a happy accident. Speaking of Elliot, you and he ever...?
- Detective Olivia Benson: No. He's married.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: [chuckles] Yeah.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: [to Shankman] Give me the blueback.
- Mitch Shankman: Excuse me?
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Shankman, do I have to school you? Your client killed those two girls. He's guilty. You know it. I know it. This is the time where you're supposed to come up with some hair-brained theory of justification. Try "he was sleepwalking" or "he was delusional because "he was up all night worrying so much about paying his bills."
- Mitch Shankman: Actually, I was going to ask for a deal.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: [to Frank Sullivan] Where's Shankman?
- Frank Sullivan: I wanted to talk to you alone.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Well, a guy named Miranda ruined that for both of us.
- Marcy: I only took the girls to the club to show them what Mommy does for a living.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Because they already know what an alcoholic does at home.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [while looking at the pictures on Marcy's wall] Make a million dollars. Buy a yacht. It doesn't look like any of your fantasies have come true yet.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: I don't see "Take care of my kids" up there on the board.
- Marcy: Some kid grabbed Kedzie's vajayjay a while back. I thought it was just puppy love.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Does he go to Kedzie's school?
- Marcy: No. He's 20, 21.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Kedzie was ten years old. That's not puppy love. That's pedophilia.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Michael Parisi] Hey, good-looking.
- Michael Parisi: Do I know you?
- Detective Olivia Benson: No, but I know you. Pizza Face, right?
- Michael Parisi: Call me that again and we're going to have some problems.
- Michael Parisi: [mumbling] I didn't do nothing.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Louder.
- Michael Parisi: [shouts] I said I didn't do nothing! You got a hearing problem?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Well, it comes with age along with hair loss and back spasms.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Marlowe] There goes your paycheck.
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: That's not all it's going to cost me.
- Detective Olivia Benson: What are you talking about?
- A.D.A. Jo Marlowe: Oh, I can hear the defense now. "Your Honor, Detective Stabler sexually aroused my client to elicit a confession. He was raped at SVU."
