[When Munch arrives late to a briefing and chimes in with information.]
Oh. You're late 'cuz you were doing something useful.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
On the fifth floor you heard somebody bust into an apartment through 5 slabs of concrete with a "cerumen problem".
SSuspect
I must've been having a good ear day.
Where did you find this Looney Tune?
Look, we don't speak your dialect of crazy, okay?
I don't need to go to the hospital Captain.
Captain, HAZMAT is ready to move in.
Take her. Restrain her if you have to.
[Regarding Munch]
Leave it to the prince of paranoia to take it up a notch.
No. This time, Munch isn't crazy.
You are thinking like a victim, 'Liv. If you were thinking like a cop, you'd realize that it's not that simple.
[Stabler wanders into the squad room late at night and finds Benson there.]
I thought the joint would be empty.
I thought the doctors said you had to be on house arrest for 2 weeks.
I can't stay away.
It's almost midnight.
I didn't want Cragen to see me.
Yeah. I know the feeling.
It's easy to be passionate when you're one of the victims.
What do you tell victims? Get help. The problem is you're not following your own advice right now.
It means sometimes the only way to beat someone at a dirty fight, is to get right down into the gutter with them.
[after Charlotte's attempted suicide has led her to the hospital]
Mr. Truex?
SSidney
What'd you do to my daughter? Hm? She gonna be okay?
She's sleeping. The doctor says she's gonna be fine.
SSidney
Oh, fine. Sure. Sure. She's lucky you didn't kill her.
We didn't slit her wrist.
SSidney
No. But you interrogated her WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT!! You told her she did it! You made her suicidal with your accusations and innuendo!
No. The drugs that she was on made her depressed, and her own guilt made her suicidal.
SSidney
She's innocent, detective.
Well, you know that's not true, since you're the one who saw her at the house.
SSidney
I had a head injury. I dunno who I saw. And stay away from Charlotte. As soon as she's discharged, I'm takin' her home.
She's going to Rikers.
SSidney
Over my dead body!
CCharlotte
My dad says a lot of things that aren't true. He's a lawyer. He lies for a living.
[to Kathy] It's been a rough couple of days. And I've had a couple of days to think about what's important. I love my job and I love my family. And I nearly lost both of them. I wanna come home.
