I wanted straight homicide. No living victims, all the glory.
Lesson #1: Nobody is prepared to handle the children.

Got a minute?
When you save a young girl's life, you get 2. Have a seat.
I can't do this.
Sure you can. Just bend your knees and let gravity take over.
[after Kevin has confessed]
It's not coercion.
You pushed Kevin into a psychotic break so I would drug him so you could coerce his confession.
I did what I had to do to save that boy.
Great. What are you gonna do next? Bash in people's skulls to make 'em talk?
You know, your way, Adam wouldn't have been found until he was starved to death.
All right, that's enough, both of you. Did the medication hurt Kevin?
No.
Then what's the harm?
Unless a court forces him to, it's Kevin's choice whether to take it. We don't have the right to make that decision for him.
Do me a favor. Stop treatin' this perp like he's your patient.
He became my patient the second I gave him that injection!
Then do me a favor. Start thinkin' about the victims here. The kid he kidnapped. The 2 people he stabbed. They're your victims, Doc! Not Kevin!
You made Kevin a victim, and I'm gonna testify on his behalf if this goes to trial, which Kevin will win since you handed the defense its case!
How'd I do that?
They're gonna make you say that he wasn't rational until he was medicated, which means he's not responsible for his actions before then. You get it now?!
[Stabler, Novak, and Kevin confront Randall Haber and his attorney]
AAttorney
What the hell is this?
Randall Haber, you're now under arrest for the murders of Lester Hale and Martha Davis.
HHaber
Murder? Martha Davis committed suicide.
We exhumed her body. She died of severe heat stroke.
KKevin
Because you told them not to turn on her air-conditioning.
HHaber
A jury's gonna believe him? He murdered that grocer in cold blood.
Which only happened because you withheld his medication and kicked him out on the street. That makes you responsible for Lester Hale's death.
AAttorney
Okay. One count of Man-2 with a sentencing recommendation.
HHaber
Are you crazy?! I'm not makin' a deal.
KKevin
Why did you tell the aide to cut Martha's wrists? I heard you.
HHaber
He doesn't know what he heard. He's a mental patient!
He's back on his medication. He's perfectly lucid, and he's our star witness. 2 counts, Man-1, concurrent. He does his 15.
HHaber
15 years?
That, or a jury can sentence to to 25 to life. [opens the door] It's your choice.
[Haber confers with his attorney]
HHaber
Deal.
BBalthus
[holds up a sandwich] Why isn't this in an evidence bag?
OHO'Halloran
Because it's my lunch.
Did you know that in just one night of drinking, fetal alcohol syndrome can set in?
I didn't know that.
If your wife got pregnant again, would you allow it?
If Kathy got pregnant again I'd shoot myself.
If an overbearing mother and a distant father cause homosexuality, how come I'm not gay?
Maybe you're in denial.
That would explain a lot.
IIan
It's so weird, you know. I've been sitting here for a while, and everybody who walks by, I wonder: Does he know? Does she? James used to always talk about how happy he was that he was gay. He said guys are so much more fun.
Yeah, I agree with James.
IIan
Everything's different now, you know. No matter what I do, nothing will be like it was before.
Ian, I had my job to do, and I made you deal with something you weren't ready for. I'm sorry.
IIan
Yeah. I'm not.
GGrandfather
(interviewed by Olivia Benson after spotting Gorman) First he was jabbering nonsense. Then I saw he was bleeding like a...stuck pig! Next thing I know boom he falls.
He could've been the member of some cult. In ancient Rome, priests of the goddess Cybele would castrate themselves to achieve divine status.
How d'you know that?
The Internet.
So either Gorman was snipped by a homeless guy, or had a voluntary penectomy. Not a word I get to use everyday.
[Benson is suspected of stabbing Gorman to death]
You didn't even ask me if I did it.
I know you didn't do it. You would've shot the bastard.
I love my children. And if one of them was sick, I would do anything in the world to make them better. But I would also pray to God that if all hope were gone, He'd give me the strength just to end their suffering.
[choked up] I could've killed my kid over a lousy carpet!
[An escaped sex offender takes Benson hostage, and sends the detectives on a search for the truth regarding his case.]
Deputy Eckerson is requesting our assistance.
Wow. Pigs really do fly, huh?
