Carolyn Barek quotes from Law & Order: Criminal Intent

Logan

She keeps taking money out every week until December. And the same thing happens. She stops paying, she gets sicker.

Barek

Here again, in February, when she starts paying again, she gets better.

Someone's playing her health like a yo-yo to get money out of her.

Logan

Must be a trick you learn in nursing school.

Logan

Barek. What's with you and the voodoo stuff?

Barek

I respect it. Same as any religion. They have a supreme God, and spirits that they can negotiate with. It's like my mother praying to the Virgin Mary for a girl, or my father praying to Saint Joseph for a job.

Logan

I didn't say I believe in that either.

Barek

Yeah, but still, my mother had me, and my father put three kids through school.

Logan

But voodoo?

Barek

If white people believed in voodoo, it wouldn't have the stigma it has.

Logan

God....

Barek

You seen a doctor yet?

Logan

Yeah, those jokers at the HMO. They tossed a coin, heads it was Lyme disease, tails it was shingles.

Barek

It started right after we saw Lydia. She warned you.

Logan

Ooooh. A spell. Listen. What I don't believe, won't hurt me.

Barek

Professor, you sound like you're afraid of her. You lost about 20 pounds since these pictures. Were you sick?

I caught some bug, traveling in India.

Barek

Was that around the time that Lydia left? What'd she do to you?

Who knows. Look, they ran tests ... all I know is that I had a rash, I started sleeping 20 hours a day, I couldn't wake up. That's when Lydia left.

Barek

A rash. That's how it started

Yes

Barek

Red blotches, maybe a fever.

Yes. Why?

Logan

It's a fluke.

Barek

Mike, you need to see a specialist. I know just the person you need to see.

Barek

I'm sorry, the warrant's good for any non-traditional medicines or supplements.

No, I need them.

Look, just leave him alone. He's an old man.

Logan

Hey! Hey! You making a move on my partner?

Barek

I think he did.

[Bewildered] No, No, I just--

Logan

You definitely need to be arrested, my friend.

Barek

Faith trumps science. Once again.

Logan

Nothing a little calamine lotion can't fix.

Logan

What, you goin'?

Barek

Yeah. Sleep. Remember?

Logan

You live all the way in Brooklyn. My place is right down the street. [Barek looks at him skeptically] I'll take the couch.

Barek

I don't believe you got a couch that big.

Logan

Yeah. Maybe not. Forget it.

Barek

Go home, Mike. On account you're not in your right head.
