Robert John Burke: IAB Captain Ed Tucker

Quotes 

• Ed Tucker : I put transfer papers in today. Hostage negotiation has an opening.

  Olivia Benson : You're leaving IAB? After all this time, that's...

  Ed Tucker : Like letting go of a rope. At the funeral, I realized I can't spend the rest of my life obsessing about whether or not a cop is lying to me.

  Olivia Benson : Wow, Ed. You know, I never did ask you how you ended up in IAB to begin with.

  Ed Tucker : It's a long story. Actually, no, it's not. After my ex and I... she, uh... I just thought I could never trust anybody again.

  Olivia Benson : So you joined IAB to confirm that belief.

  Ed Tucker : Turns out I was wrong. Olivia Margaret Benson, I trust you. And this little guy.

  [he playfully tickles Noah] 

  Ed Tucker : We have a good thing going here, the three of us.

• Ed Tucker : I got here as quick as I could. He still in surgery?

  Olivia Benson : He's alive.

  Ed Tucker : We'll take that. You all right?

  Olivia Benson : I... I was walking Munson's kids out to the car.

  Ed Tucker : Yeah.

  Olivia Benson : And I left Dodds in there. I had a feeling...

  Ed Tucker : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't do that. There's a hundred ways that could've gone.

  Olivia Benson : I should have let Dodds walk the kids out to the car.

  Ed Tucker : Hey, look at me. You all right? You need anything? Something to eat? Maybe a coffee.

  Olivia Benson : Just be here.

  Ed Tucker : I'm not going anywhere.

• Ed Tucker : It might be nice to get away for a while. How do you feel about Paris?
