[after Stabler's talk with Dr. Skoda] Hey. How'd it go?
I talked too much. Again.

You're protecting your win-loss ratio.
Elliot.

It's okay, Captain. Detective Stabler's judgment is clouded by the stress of the Morris Commission's review and the fact that Michael did what he fantasizes about: kill a perpetrator.
It's not my fantasy and I stand with Detective Stabler on this.
[to his daughter] What are you doing up?
MMaureen
I couldn't sleep.
What's the matter? You got nightmares?
MMaureen
You have to sleep to have nightmares.
Right. What was I thinking? You want something to drink?
MMaureen
No. Dad. What that boy Michael did to that man...
That man was supposed to take care of Michael. And instead he molested him. He abused him physically, he betrayed his trust and I think Michael...just had enough.
MMaureen
So what happens now?
He's probably gonna go to prison. All he's gotta do is tell the truth. What is it with you kids?
MMaureen
It's hard to talk to adults.
Why?
MMaureen
You're always judging us. You expect us to be like you and get mad if we're not. It's just easier to talk to our friends.
What if you don't have any friends?
MMaureen
Everybody's got friends.
[to the Morris Commission] This little boy's mother stuck his hands on a frying pan until his fingers burned off. This rape victim required twelve hours of surgery to have a steel plate put into her head after her attacker pummeled her with a claw hammer. This one didn't make it Is there anybody on this panel who doesn't share Detective Stabler's anger for the perpetrators? This man is a good cop. As his commanding officer, I stand with him and every good cop who faces these horrors day after day and has the strength to keep his impulses in check. Now if you can look at these pictures and not understand that, the problem here isn't Elliot Stabler, is it?
[after Stabler talks with Captain Cragen about the Morris Commission hearing about if he could keep his job]
Well?
The Morris Commission cleared me.
AAlex
A man stands up and takes responsibility. A man isn't afraid to face the consequences of his actions.
Wilding's back in vogue.
I hate that word: "wilding." Like it's some kind of party.
It's pucker time, folks!
[about the victim, Nafeesa Amir] What, it's her fault she was raped?
She brought shame and dishonor to her family. They behead women for that where she comes from.
My first wife dishonored me. I had to pay her alimony.
AAziza
I already lost Nafeesa. I don't want to lose Jaleel too.
But Nafeesa hasn't lost her honor. Have you lost yours?
HHarper
[about Cleary] He is the last thing I'm afraid of. If I can get over that, I will have my life back completely.
[about Cleary] We couldn't keep him. Not our fault.
Wanna tell the victim that?
HHarper
You're gonna burn in Hell.
KMr. Klein
I'm Jewish, Miss Anderson. There is no Hell.

[to Stabler] As one hungry man to another, is there anything better than gorging on fresh meat?
You won't be eating out anymore.
Hi Jennifer, I'm Detective Munch.
That’s a funny name, Munch.
You think that’s funny? I guess if I ever have kids I'll have to call them "munchkins".
