[about Stern] I started crying, and he got this... this... little smile. He saw me crying and he smiled.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Most killers get satisfaction from witnessing their handiwork. Not these two. when they inject these women, it's "Fire and forget".
A voyeur and an exhibitionist. It's a wonder they found each other.
As far as finding other victims, now we have two hundred and sixty-seven pathogens Stern might have used.
This just doesn't stop.
Hello, Bobby. I would call you Detective Goren, but given your press coverage lately, you'd probably want a low profile. Keep your hands on deck. We don't want you playing with your pistol under the table.
[about Wallace framing Croydon] She picked a man who I already didn't trust, who I already didn't respect. That's how she blindsided me. She, uh... she picked a man like my father. She got me. She got me good.
Then let's get her back.
[Goren tries to test Nicole Wallace for anthrax as part of a ruse to arrest her]
Give me your hand.
If you just wanted to hold my hand, Bobby, you really didn't have to go through such measures. Is it everything you imagined?
Don't flatter yourself. I see in you what your other conquests don't.
Ah, yes, the famous Goren vision. A little short-sighted lately, though, with one glaring blind spot.
We all have our off days.
You've become the abuser of that sparkling little girl. You pimp her out, you make her sleep with men and women she doesn't want to, what, to serve your pathological needs and theirs?
Well, this will come as news to Gavin. We've fooled ourselves into thinking we're in love. Thank God Detective Goren is here to save us.
No, you just listen to me! You just listen to me now!
My, how you hate being contradicted!
I believe there is a part of you that loves Gavin - the decent part of Nicole that's hidden inside that bunker you call a heart. You know, the last time you sat here, you confronted the truth. It hurt. So you had to shoot the messenger. Hmm? If I could be wrong about Dan Croydon, how could I be right about you? Well, you blew it, Nicole, your one chance for happiness, with Gavin. One chance, and you had to come back to me? You couldn't leave well enough alone. That's the price of denial.
Don't think for a second that this is the end of us, Bobby.
[Going through the wallet of the victim.]
Library card. Man after your own heart.
[After telling the Captain that she will be a surrogate mother for her sister.]
He said when the time comes, he'll hook you up with a temporary partner.
Oh, no. I didn't even think of that. Well, what did you say?
I pity the fool.
LLaurette
Whether you like it or not, my work has entered your subconscious.
Mm. And I thought it was last night's potstickers.
Well, if he wanted to get inside Laurette's head, he needed more blondes in his life.
Well, buildings may crumble, but infamy's forever.
This is nice. Charles Darwin as a serial killer.
Our shooter didn't write that letter.
Great, another nut in the mix.
