I'm conflicted about labeling a 10-year-old a psychopath. But...
But?
I've had a chill like that 2 times in my life... with death row serial killers.

[after getting shot] I always forget how much this hurts.
If anyone here has been sexually assaulted, or know anyone that has, it's never too late to come forward. Denying the pain doesn't make it go away.
It's all about control. I mean, they do their own investigations. If the school decides no crime has been committed, it's dropped. No press, no police.
We need to go after the school.
And charge 'em with what?
That's the great part about being a D.A.: I don't have to decide that right now.

[after her assailants are convicted] I thought they were my friends. I trusted them.
Well, if it makes a difference, a man who doesn't even know you went through a lot of trouble to help you.
[about his ex-wife] In hindsight, when she came home from Iraq, she was textbook PTSD. I didn't see it. I took it personally. I think it cost me my marriage.
Have you told her that?
No, it's a little late. I don't think she wants to hear it.
Maybe the first step is to stop beating yourself up.
We were making our last buy from Escobar. Somebody must have ratted me out. The next thing I know I got a .38 pressed against the back of my head. Luis jumped in. The gun went off. He got hit twice, in the hip and the knee. I left Narcotics that day.
It wasn't your fault.
Yeah, just like it wasn't my fault with Rollins? Do yourself a favor, Nick: Walk behind me.
You think bragging to cops about shooting cops is a good idea?
[of the victim] The way she was dressed, she's gotta be a working girl.
Nick, you gotta get out more - everyone dresses like that now.
So, the smart kids are selling drugs to MILFs these days?
After what you did to her, you're lucky I didn't kick your teeth in.
What I did, you should be so lucky someone does that to you.
Shut the hell up or I'll take you out right now and wipe that stupid smile off your face.
Nick, it's all right. I wanna hear this. I should be so lucky? How?
Well, sure, sweetheart. What do you want to hear?
Whatever you got.
You mean, like, how disturbing it would be to make a fine, educated, cultured woman like that disrobe? How humiliating it would be? How she might have covered herself with her hands?
Go on.
You want to hear about how I tied her to the bed. Not too tight, so I could watch her struggle. Or do you want to hear how I made her get down on her knees and forced myself inside her? Is that your thing? Or do you wanna hear about the pyrotechnics? How I put out cigarettes on her? [smiles] Yeah, gotcha. You want to hear how I branded her private parts with keys and hot hangers.
All right. I know you're getting off on this, but you know what? I wanna know how you got in that apartment.
That's by the numbers. [to Benson] Men are from Mars, right, detective? He wants the logistics, but you... you want the emotions.
I do. So tell me more.
A 60-year-old woman. She did things she never expected to do... things she never knew were possible... with her fingers, with her mouth. Do you wanna hear how, in the evening, she said she would do anything as she begged for her life? Or how, in the morning, she begged me to take her out of her misery? Which do you think I enjoyed more?
[Benson returns to her apartment, only to find a familiar face pointing a gun at her]
Welcome home, Detective Benson.
[to Lewis] My partner, my squad, the entire department will hunt you down. You think that you've put people through hell. It will rain back down on you.
You know what? Let it rain.
Are you feeling sad? Thinking about someone you’re never gonna see again? Mom? Dad? Boyfriend? No, huh? Someone else, someone you would give anything too see just one more time. You’re gonna cry out his name at some point. They always do.
My old partner, he'd know what to do. He wouldn't question himself after what you've done. He would kick your teeth in, break your legs, break your arms, break your back, break your face.
