Daniel quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Stabler

Daniel?

Daniel

[stops mopping] Yes. I'm Daniel.

Stabler

Hi. Can we talk to you a second?

Daniel

Who are you?

Benson

We're the police.

Daniel

[frightened] His avenging angels cometh. [drops his mop]

Benson

We just wanna ask you a question.

Daniel

[murmurs incoherently] You cannot hide in the presence of the Lord. He sent you to judge me?

Benson

No, no. Not to judge you. To help you.

Daniel

Why?! I served him. I was... I... They were unclean, and I cleansed them in their own blood. I saved a child, a lamb that was pure...

Benson

Daniel? Daniel, come with us. Come with us.

Daniel

[pulls out his knife] Wasn't I good enough? Wasn't I good enough? Why do you send your angels for me? Why do you want to destroy me when I bring them your message? They were unclean. Why? Why do you send your angels for me? Why? Why do you want to destroy me when I bring them your message?

Benson

No. Not to destroy you. He wants to reward you.

Daniel

HE WILL JUDGE ME! Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come, thy will be done...

[in unison] ...on Earth as it is in Heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses...

Daniel

Pray with me!

Stabler

Get the arm.

Benson

[grabs Daniel's arm] Got it.

Stabler

[slaps the cuffs on Daniel while he continues murmuring] Daniel Varney, you're under arrest for murder. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Mr. Newvine, how does your client plead?

Daniel

Are you God?

Just an overworked judge, Mr. Varney. And I ask the questions. Not you. Guilty or not guilty?

Daniel

How can you judge me if you're not God?

Mr. Newvine, control your client.

We plead not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, your honor. [to his client] Daniel, please!

Miss Cabot?

Remand, your honor. The defendant is clearly a dangerous...

Daniel

NO!!! [he punches Newvine; the court officers restrain him] YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME! You don't sit in judgment of me! You don't sit in judgment of me! YOU DON'T SIT IN JUDGMENT OF ME! You can't judge me! You can't judge me!

Daniel

I have to ask you something.

Benson

What?

Daniel

Why didn't you shoot me?

Benson

Because I didn't want to hurt you.

Daniel

But you must.

Benson

I must what, Daniel? I don't understand.

Daniel

Kill me. Please. Please. I can't take any more pain.
