Your partner back in New York - does he find you as annoying as I do?
We're best friends.
But does he find you annoying?

In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)
[Benson is arrested while undercover, and appointed a young public defender]
MMellott
My name is Delray Mellott, and I'm your assigned public defender--
What are you, 12?
MMellott
I'm 25.
Oh, this is great!
Mr. Peters? Here? This late? You gotta be kidding. Partners are all outta here by happy hour.
Well, you got any idea where he might be?
He doesn't share his social calender with first year associates.
Come on, man. Help a brotha out. My Captain's gonna put me on permanent midnights if I don't find him.
And if I don't get this distribution exactly right, my ass will be on the street. Sorry, "brotha".
Guess the only color he cares about is green.
[about Beck's tattoo] Let's have a look, see if your guy is as good as you say he is.
Take my word for it.
I'll show you mine.
It wouldn't be a fair trade.
[Stabler approaches a van being hoisted out of the river.]
John. What've we got?
Van tried to take a shortcut to Brooklyn. The river got in the way.
Van was registered to Frank Hovis of Albany. Unmarried, no kids, couple pops for assault.
[Captain Cragen looks at a photograph of the women's shoe recovered at the scene.]
Anything on Cinderella?
Nah. Maybe Frank's a tranny.
[Munch arrives with a tollbooth photo of the van's occupants, a balding male driver and a woman in the passenger seat.]
Cinderella's definitely a woman. Frank needs to join the Hair Club for Men.
Dani doing okay?
Yeah.
See a future for her here in SVU?
Sure.
Don't want your old partner back?
Since when was that up to me?
HMrs. Hovis
I haven't seen Frank in years.
We think he may have been in an accident, Mrs. Hovis.
HMrs. Hovis
Well, excuse me if I don't bust out weeping. The only time I hear about that deadbeat is when you cops come looking for him.
Mind if we check around?
HMrs. Hovis
Yes I do. I'm a respectable woman, I live alone, and I don't want the neighbors talking.
[Fin comes around the corner of the house, holding a pair of men's pants.]
They already are. Found these on your clothesline. Where'd they come from?
HMrs. Hovis
How should I know? Must've fallen out of a plane on the way into Kennedy.
I think I hear someone inside.
Don't worry, ma'am. We'll protect you.
[Munch and Fin push their way past Mrs. Hovis into the house.]
HMrs. Hovis
Hey!
[Fin pushes open the broom closet door and finds Frank in his underwear, crouching inside.]
Frank, that's pathetic.
HMrs. Hovis
[acting astonished.] How'd he get in there?
[Stabler is stabbed in the chest with a pen.]
You gonna faint on me?
I couldn't have stayed so calm.
Yeah you could. You know the right thing to do.
Just because you know what's right doesn't mean you do it.
Are you serious, dad? A kid stabbed you?
Your father probably yelled at him.
Yeah, for not doing his homework.
[In the hospital, after Eden sets fire to Beck's apartment.]
Why'd you do it?
EEden
So you'd never leave me.
You could have killed us both.
EEden
Then we'd be together.
[Stabler finds Beck distraught outside Eden's hospital room.]
Dani. This is not your fault.
I can't do this.
Why?
I fix things. It's who I am. But I can't fix that little girl.
That's not what we do.
But I wanted to. And I thought I could.
How do you keep doing this job?
Because I have to.
Why? We don't make a difference.
Dani, you can do this.
Are you asking me to stay?
[Stabler hesitates.]
Dani, I can't. You've got to be here for yourself, not for me.
Yeah. [Beck looks through the window at Eden.] Bye, Elliott.
[Beck walks away.]
If you're gonna stake out Central Park at night, take somebody with you.
You offering to be my partner?
I'm not your type.
[grins] I don't know. Maybe I'd have better luck with a guy. Women keep leaving me.
