Captain Cragen quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

We don't get to pick the vic.

Your feelings will always be a part of your police work. The more you try to deny that, the more control they'll have over you. We work with different permutations of sex all day, sometimes all night long. Don't worry when you feel something. Worry when you don't.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask that you smell the defendant.

If I could, I would exhume the body and kick his ass.

[to Benson] Never turn your back on a reporter.

[to the Morris Commission] This little boy's mother stuck his hands on a frying pan until his fingers burned off. This rape victim required twelve hours of surgery to have a steel plate put into her head after her attacker pummeled her with a claw hammer. This one didn't make it Is there anybody on this panel who doesn't share Detective Stabler's anger for the perpetrators? This man is a good cop. As his commanding officer, I stand with him and every good cop who faces these horrors day after day and has the strength to keep his impulses in check. Now if you can look at these pictures and not understand that, the problem here isn't Elliot Stabler, is it?

So either Gorman was snipped by a homeless guy, or had a voluntary penectomy. Not a word I get to use everyday.

[to Elliot] How many times do you think you can break the rules and get away with it?

Early bird catches the perp.

[to Benson, after his talk with the chief] I don't like bein' bossed around by some G-man in a $1,000 suit.

This nutcase is a serial baby killer.

Where did you find this Looney Tune?
