Seventeen years as a corrections officer. Eleven different prisons. It says here that the first ten stops were maximum security men's facilities.
You go where you're not gonna get your ass kicked.
[pauses] What are you talking about?
I read your evaluations. They dumped you at Sealview because you didn't have the balls to handle men.
You know what I think? I think you hate women. That's why you rape them. And if you hate women so much, that must mean that you like men.
[Harris jumps up]
Shut up. Shut up, you filthy whore. Do you understand me?
He didn't know you were a cop.
And that gives him the right to attack me?
The law gives Officer Harris every right to strike an inmate to force compliance!
But not the right to try and rape me!!
How'd you know to ask Ashley about the mole?
[evasive] She remembered.
But you couldn't have known she was right.
[pause] I saw it... when he had me in the basement.
[quietly] It's the closest I've ever come.
Where were you last night?
R Ramirez
Hanging with friends.
Okay, hey -- I want you to start answering my questions in complete sentences.
B Balthus
My client doesn't know what happened that night, he's confused.
What, he confused committing murder with a little slap and tickle?
L Lincoln
[after his brain damage has forced him to retire from football] I had it all. Career, someone I loved ... football gave me everything. Then took it all away.
"Just following orders." That's the preferred defense of every war criminal from Eichmann to Milosevic.
[Rook is holding Benson hostage and trying to get Stabler to inflict pain on her via remote control]
R Rook
I put my faith in a little god in a white coat and he killed my wife and son. PUSH THE BUTTON!
[Rook pushes the button and a female voice screams]
R Rook
PUSH … THE … BUTTON!!!
Too many people have suffered already.
R Rook
Then you, Elliot Stabler, are a human being. Congratulations, you are not a sheep like I was. You're a man. Thank you.
R Rook
Where are you taking me?
[Benson and Stabler exchange an irritated glance]
[Rook activates a detonator that is tied to his ankle causing the studio to explode; the blast knocks all three of them to the ground]
B Bartlett
The coffee. Though I`ll bet yours is smooth and robust.
B Bartlett
I didn't bribe anyone.
[sarcastically] No. That $50,000 payment to juror #4 was charity.
What are you selling, Brett?
S Smith
You've worked sex crimes longer than most and you're still passionate, we need you.
Yeah, well, it's harder to care when your clients are guilty.
S Smith
Ours are accused of SEC violations, not diddling some 4-year-old on the playground.
Look, I'm sorry. I have to go.
S Smith
No more late night calls, no more rape victims and dead kids. How do you sleep at night?
[Novak enters Judge Donnelly's chambers]
You wanted to see me, Judge Donnelly?
Yes. The DA is declining to re-file charges against Thomas Crane.
He raped and murdered Alisa Hernandez, and he gets to keep his badge?
Because of your actions, counselor.
With all due respect, ma'am, this doesn't concern you.
It does now. [hands Novak a notice]
I'm being called before the bar.
Because you lost perspective. And because I sit on the peer review board, and I cannot allow you to commit a Brady violation and lie to the court without consequence.
The reports weren't finished, your honor! I sent them back!
You lied to Petrovsky, and now, you are lying to me. The lab reports were dated and stamped! We are civil servants, Casey! No one is falling on their sword for you. What I want to know is why.
Because the bad guys can't always win. He deserved to pay.
How much trouble am I in?
Censure. Possible suspension.
Fin, grab Elliot and go check out the Lydia. [Fin does not leave] There a problem?
You know my beef with Stabler. He's a total head case. I'd rather have any other partner.
It's not ladies' choice today, detective. Suck it up. Do your job.
You got my request for transfer 3 months ago. Any idea what's holdin' that up?
You signed off on the 5-7?
And gave you a glowing recommendation. If you like, I'll call the Chief of D's office, see where it's at.
No problem. In the meantime, you've got an assignment.
Ah, the smell of stale beer and quiet desperation. Did I ever tell you about the bar I owned in Baltimore?
I'd like to open one up here, but the real estate's a bit pricier.
