[about Beck's tattoo] Let's have a look, see if your guy is as good as you say he is.
Take my word for it.
I'll show you mine.
It wouldn't be a fair trade.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[Stabler approaches a van being hoisted out of the river.]
John. What've we got?
Van tried to take a shortcut to Brooklyn. The river got in the way.
Van was registered to Frank Hovis of Albany. Unmarried, no kids, couple pops for assault.
[Captain Cragen looks at a photograph of the women's shoe recovered at the scene.]
Anything on Cinderella?
Nah. Maybe Frank's a tranny.
[Munch arrives with a tollbooth photo of the van's occupants, a balding male driver and a woman in the passenger seat.]
Cinderella's definitely a woman. Frank needs to join the Hair Club for Men.
Dani doing okay?
Yeah.
See a future for her here in SVU?
Sure.
Don't want your old partner back?
Since when was that up to me?
HMrs. Hovis
I haven't seen Frank in years.
We think he may have been in an accident, Mrs. Hovis.
HMrs. Hovis
Well, excuse me if I don't bust out weeping. The only time I hear about that deadbeat is when you cops come looking for him.
Mind if we check around?
HMrs. Hovis
Yes I do. I'm a respectable woman, I live alone, and I don't want the neighbors talking.
[Fin comes around the corner of the house, holding a pair of men's pants.]
They already are. Found these on your clothesline. Where'd they come from?
HMrs. Hovis
How should I know? Must've fallen out of a plane on the way into Kennedy.
I think I hear someone inside.
Don't worry, ma'am. We'll protect you.
[Munch and Fin push their way past Mrs. Hovis into the house.]
HMrs. Hovis
Hey!
[Fin pushes open the broom closet door and finds Frank in his underwear, crouching inside.]
Frank, that's pathetic.
HMrs. Hovis
[acting astonished.] How'd he get in there?
[Stabler is stabbed in the chest with a pen.]
You gonna faint on me?
I couldn't have stayed so calm.
Yeah you could. You know the right thing to do.
Just because you know what's right doesn't mean you do it.
Are you serious, dad? A kid stabbed you?
Your father probably yelled at him.
Yeah, for not doing his homework.
[In the hospital, after Eden sets fire to Beck's apartment.]
Why'd you do it?
EEden
So you'd never leave me.
You could have killed us both.
EEden
Then we'd be together.
[Stabler finds Beck distraught outside Eden's hospital room.]
Dani. This is not your fault.
I can't do this.
Why?
I fix things. It's who I am. But I can't fix that little girl.
That's not what we do.
But I wanted to. And I thought I could.
How do you keep doing this job?
Because I have to.
Why? We don't make a difference.
Dani, you can do this.
Are you asking me to stay?
[Stabler hesitates.]
Dani, I can't. You've got to be here for yourself, not for me.
Yeah. [Beck looks through the window at Eden.] Bye, Elliott.
[Beck walks away.]
If you're gonna stake out Central Park at night, take somebody with you.
You offering to be my partner?
I'm not your type.
[grins] I don't know. Maybe I'd have better luck with a guy. Women keep leaving me.
I'd give you a kidney.
Not if I gave you mine first.
It's never too late to help a victim.
What kind of father molests his daughter and then every year, sends her a birthday card to remind her?
TTierney
I don't know what your dad did to you, sweetie, but you need professional help.
