And now we can't touch him?
The Patriot Act trumps rape and attempted murder every time.

You'll force me to make a formal complaint.
Where you shove that is up to you.
What would I be up against using Katie as a witness?
Anxiety, ADD, and they have trouble taking criticism.
That sounds like you, Munch.

[Opens his door to find Novak, Stabler, and Fin standing outside] Get the hell away from my door. You've got people thinking I tried to kill my wife.
We need to speak to your daughter.
NNicholson
No, you will not speak to her. Not now, not ever. You've got her anxious and upset now leave her alone. [Tries to close door]
[Blocks the door] I'm Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak. Here's how this is going to play out. Now we will end up at a hearing and the judge will side with me, because you cannot stop us from questioning the only witness to the attack.
NNicholson
I'm her father.
And your also a suspect Mr. Nicholson. It's about time you faced facts.
The Patriot Act. This convoluted piece of legislature isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Do you care at all or is this guy just a pawn to you?
You're a bastard.
I get that a lot.
[Novak is attempting to prove that Katie can sworn-in at a trial]
Your honor, I submit that this witness can be sworn.
So ordered. [bangs gavel]
KKatie
[puts her hands over her ears in pain] Don't do that!
She has very sensitive hearing.
I... I'm sorry.
KKatie
That's okay. Can I have a hug?
[awkwardly] No. Maybe later.
Security cameras across the globe. Munch'll never leave his house again.
[about the torture Sutton performed on Iraqi prisoners] So much for 2500 years of 'first do no harm'.
That's a little black and white.
Sorry, I didn't realize the Hippocratic Oath was written in shades of grey.
SDr. Sutton
Our country is at war. I have skills that can help. Do you really expect me not to use them?
You took an oath. You don't get to take a time-out because we're at war, because it's difficult to uphold. The oath was written for times like these.
You mutilated women.

There's beauty in everyone. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find it.
Someone tried to bust my eardrums, I'm gonna bust they ass!!
Well, you were great.
MMorten
Did you like it? Bet you didn't know what was gonna happen next.
You put on quite a show. You got her off, she's going to a psych ward.
MMorten
Is that a frown on your pretty face?
Actually, I think Cecilia is going exactly where she belongs. So are you.
MMorten
You're backing out on the deal.
No, you're being transferred to a federal prison.
MMorten
I thought you'd be a sore loser.
You're gonna love Florence Super Max. 23-hour lockdown, no visitors, no mail, no phone calls. No human contact for the rest of your life.
MMorten
You can't do that to me.
Why don't you wave bye to all of your fans?
MMorten
We made a deal.
And it's a masterpiece. How do you like my work?
MMorten
[as the cops take him to their squad car] You used me! You set me up! This isn't right! It's not fair!
You know, I'm gonna have a child in a month. That's scary enough. But the thought that I was never gonna be able to see that child, that terrified me. Saul Picard? Bring him on.
SSaul
I don't deserve to live. Don't you understand? If the state thinks that killin' me will stop one pervert from doing what I did to those poor little girls, then it's worth it. Please. Let me go home to die.
