AAlex
[after the captain blows up at a suspect] You lost your cool. You are too emotionally-invested in this case!
Damn right.
AAlva
You happy now?
Mrs. Tate, I'm sorry about Leon.
AAlva
Don't you dare say you're sorry. You're glad he's dead. He didn't kill those girls, but you killed him anyway. You murdered him.
Mrs. Tate, Detective Stabler was doing his job.
AAlva
My son was innocent.
Your son was gonna kill somebody with his HIV. We had to stop him. We didn't put the needle in his arm.
AAlva
You didn't. But you all stick together, don't you? (storms off)
[during arraignment on the drug charge]
Remand, Miss Cabot? On a third-degree possession charge?
AAlex
Mr. Harris provided the drugs to young women. The People believe he is a danger to the community.
Counsel, approach. [Alex and Conrad approach the bench] Miss Cabot, I have 40 more cases on the docket, and you're wasting my time on this frivolous garbage?
AAlex
Your honor, it is the People's position that we...
You screwed up your murder case, and now you want me to do your dirty work for ya? Not gonna happen. Step back. [the attorneys return to their positions] Bail is set at $2,000, cash only. [bangs gavel] Next case.
RRodney
[charges at King] You son of a bitch!
[he punches the defendant and gets him in a stranglehold]
RRodney
You killed my sister, man! He's a cold-blooded murderer!
Officers! Officers! Officer! Clear the court!
[King bites Rodney on the arm; the court officers and detectives break up the fight]
RRodney
He just bit me! The bastard bit me!
KKing
[escorted out] C'mon! Bring it! Come on!
Remove that man!
RRodney
You can't fight like a man, but you kill little girls!
We'll take him!
RRodney
Take me?
Yeah. You under arrest for assault.
RRodney
Whoa! He gets away with murderin' my sister, and you takin' me?!
Shh! Just shut up.
[the detectives catch King]
It's over, your highness.
KKing
You ain't got nothin' on me.
Just takin' a bite outta crime.
Just like you took a bite outta Rodney Thompson's arm.
You left your DNA. Thought you were smarter than that.
KKing
[on the verge of a death sentence for the murders] I want a deal.
[snickers] Want a deal? How 'bout right before we execute you for killin' those girls, I bring you your last meal? How's that?
Perp goes through the trouble of bringing a semi-automatic with him, why not just shoot the guy?
Where'd the fun be in that?
Do you gamble, Elliot?
Only with birth control.
It's a case of he said, she said, he's dead.
[after meeting Hawk for the first time] Who the hell was that?
Wyatt Earp.
[about Benson] Your partner always so friendly?
She just doesn't like you.
[amused] Wait 'til she gets to know me.
[about Hawkins' style] I just don't like grand-standers.
I thought you were going to say grandfathers. That was a tough one to lose.
[angrily] That jury sent him home to rape that kid all over again.
Did you make your case?
I had him nailed.
Then you did your job.
[snorts] That's not good enough anymore.
Well it has to be, 'cause that's all there is.
I told that little girl that everything was going to be okay.
And I told the parents of Roger's victims that he'd rot in prison.
Well at least you put him away for 18.
Yeah, well, at least you gave that little girl a few days' peace. We never win this war, Elliot.
Stabler [sighs] Just so tired of losing.
Oh God bless the lawyers.
[reviews old files after he has been drinking] I took 18 years from an innocent man. There's no way I can make that right.
So what're you going to do, quit? What are you going to tell the parents of those girls? You made them a promise, and if you're the man I think you are, you'll keep it.
[Hawk has chased the killer to the roof of a building; when Stabler catches up, the suspect is clinging to the ledge as Hawk watches, ready to let him fall]
Hawk? Hawk, don't do this.
Don't do what, partner?
We both know this isn't right.
We both know the system sucks. This way it's just natural selection. [steps on the suspect's hand]
Hawk, you do this, you're no better than he is.
He sure as hell won't kill anybody else.
This is no way to end it. Come on.
He's an evil man, Elliot.
And all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
You gonna let an old drunk do all the work? Gimme a hand.
[Stabler walks up to him, and the two help the suspect onto the roof and cuff him]
