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.

What do you think we're looking for, a rock, a brick, maybe?
UUniform
Who's going to look for that?
[Stabler and Benson look at him.]
UUniform
Me?
Yes.
Blood alcohol level was .27.
Wow. Triple the limit. There was a time I yearned for a girl who could drink like that.
[Munch and Cassidy interview Mosley, a college basketball player.]
So you and Jean studied French literature?
MMosley
Yeah, why?
Well, I mean, "Communications," "Basics of Broadcasting..." But Rimbaud?
MMosley
Sure. I know that "First Blood" speaks of the existential angst of being jerked around by forces beyond your control.
[Cassidy looks bewildered. Munch and Cassidy leave the interrogation room.]
...What did he say?
What a wonderful job he thinks the police are doing.

I can't do this.
What, you have a fight with your right hand?
I never lived in a dorm. That's what I wanted to do. I even knew where.
Where?
Are you ready for this? Everglades University.
Everglades?
Yeah. Playboy magazine rated universities by their sexual temperature. E.U., always at the top of the list.
Beautiful. I can see you had your priorities in order.
Thank you.
[Reporting on a sperm count of the 2 suspects.]
Cougar and Mosley's little swimmers were shipshape.
No kidding.
Yeah- remember when, John?
I could say the same thing to you, babe.
What did they call it before we invented the terms "date rape" and "sexual harassment?"
"Boys will be boys?"
I need physical evidence on the murder.
We'll need to recanvass the crime scene.
Do that. Meanwhile, search his home and office.
I think I'm falling in love with you, Abby.
LLawyer
C'mon, miss, you're badgering my client.
It's "Detective," not "miss." And you’re in my house now, so why don’t you save your lawyering for someone who gives a damn?
MMrs. Mosley
[welcoming Cassidy and Munch into her home] Charles. It's Mutt and Jeff.
[to Munch] Which one's Mutt?
You ever think about having kids?
Why, when I have you?
When I was a little kid, my parents told me never to eat sweets.
So as an adult you overcompensate?
Yeah.
I'm guessing your parents also said you should never get married.

Not all sex offenders are repeat offenders.
You show me a first time offender, I'll show you a guy who's never been caught before.
I've been on this beat for eight months.
Right.
And at first I was fine with it, but sometimes, I just, um, I just can't...
Instead of seeing a woman, you see a uterus, cervix...
Yeah.
It's a clinical phase. It lasts a while.
So what's the next phase?
You don't want to know.
