You're gonna break my wrists!
I'm Irish, but I'm not that lucky.

[Benson works with FBI profiling agent Lauren Cooper when a dead man and woman are found in central park due to an anonymous tip. The woman is though to have been killed by a serial killer called 'the woodsman'.]
I don't think we need to hear anymore.
I speak for the dead and I'm not done.
[about woman's body] At least he didn't chop her up into little pieces. At least he let her keep her head.
Are you Lavender?
LLavender
Its La-van-der! Do I look like a damn flower to you?
[to Cooper] Are you okay?
[crying] No. I said I wasn't used to dealing with victims.
[Benson is preparing to interrogate Cooper]
You must get a lot of confessions in here. Can't wait to unburden the soul, confirm your deepest suspicions. They want absolution. They want to be able to sleep at night.
Can you sleep at night, Lauren?
I sleep. Just. Fine.
[to himself] I'm gonna blow your freakin' brains out.
CTCSU Tech
[Overhearing] You better not be talkin' to me.
Just how close were you 2?
He was like a father to me!
Is that what they're calling it these days?
(about Agent Cooper) She executed Mr. Moore
You mean the serial killer.
It doesn't matter what he did, Larry Moore was murdered. That is a Class-A fellony.
LLydia
I presume you live on Planet Earth. Where're you going to find a jury pool that doesn't think the guy deserves to die?
That has no baring on the law.
LLydia
Explain that to John Q. Public. There'll be months of media spinning. Trotting out the murdered womans family members in support of a rogue FBI agent.
Agent Cooper stalked and shot a man in Central Park and you want to give her a pass?
LLydia
This office is not going to let you spend $2,000,000, on a case you can't win.
[As Lake and Benson arrive to arrest her] Proud of yourself?
I would have been proud to help you collar the bastard who murdered 24 women. That would have satisfied me.
That wasn't good enough.
[Quickly takes away Cooper's gun] Why not?
You know why. How many dead babies have you stood over? How many rape victims? You can't tell me you never wanted to put your gun under the bastard's chin who raped a 2-year old.
[pause] I have too much to lose.
I don't.
[Benson begs Cooper to make a deal and mitigate her sentence]
Take the deal, Lauren. It's a way out.
No.
Why the hell not?
Because those who fight monsters better make damn sure they don't become them. [pulls out her gun]
GUN!!
[Cooper shoots herself]
You know, I was up all night with the baby. And it got me thinking.
You want me to send Jack to Family Court.
I want to do what's right, Casey.
Sleep deprivation's making you soft, Elliot.
You can tell the Grand Rebbe he can kiss my tuchus. My Yiddish is a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure they just told our friend here to keep us away from the synagogue.
What they are doing is trapping her in a child's body forever.
Parents have to make hard choices. This last pregnancy, Kathy was over 40. That carries a higher risk of things like Down Syndrome.
And, you know what? Eli turned out perfect, so spare me the perils of women over 40 having babies.
