SSid
Are you a dancer?
No, Sid. I`m a detective, remember?
SSid
Oh... You're pretty enough to be a dancer.
Thank you, Sid.
SSid
[to Stabler] You're not.
That's the cross I bear.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
So you steal from the rich pharmaceutical companies and give to the poor transsexuals? You're kinda like Robin Hood and Maid Marion all rolled into one, huh?
How do you know when a lawyer is lying?
When his lips are moving?
[while investigating Dr. Keppler's murder]
What are we waitin' on?
Cragen. He says we don't touch the place until Greylek sees it, just in case IAB wants to screw with us again.
You sure Greylek's not on one of her "I gotta be at the crime scene" crusades?
[looks ahead] That's not Greylek.
[the other detectives look ahead and notice Captain Cragen arriving with the original ADA: Alexandra Cabot]
Alex!
AAlex
What have we got?
Where's Greylek?
AAlex
New administration called her back to the justice department. DA let her leave immediately.
And McCoy drafted you to fill in.
AAlex
I wasn't drafted. Jack asked me.
No one told us about it.
AAlex
I only accepted an hour ago.
[Alex and Granger gather in Judge Moredock's chambers after Jeff's testimony]
I want her brought before the disciplinary committee for badgering Jeffrey. My clients are furious.
AAlex
Clients?! Jeffrey Lynwood is your client. Not his parents. [to the judge] I'm moving to disqualify Mr. Granger as counsel.
Oh, she's posturing.
AAlex
You're a sleaze bag! You're letting Jeffrey's father call the shots, because he can pay you and Jeffrey can't.
I'm acting in my client's best interests.
Your client has as much business on a witness stand as I do riding in a rodeo! Only a horse's ass would ignore his diminished mental capacity.
You're outta line, your honor.
And you are a disgrace to the defense bar, Mr. Granger! And if you don't get your act in line, I'll grant her motion and report you to the disciplinary committee. Now, get out!
BBirdie
[after learning that she is dying] No one ever said that life was fair, only that it was eventful.
BBirdie
Oh, Chet. 30 years at your Aunt Birdie's side, and you never learned not to cross her.
OOkello
Everything I touch, everything I love, I corrupt.
He goes by many names- Satan, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, Beelzebub, Old Nick...
Let's not forget Ryan Seacrest.
[Stabler and Detective Moran are in the interrogation room with Ocurro, showing him pictures of the victims]
OOcurro
I'm sorry, I don't recognize them. I feel bad for their families...
You don't feel anything. I mean, he feels excitement when he goes up to their door, wondering, Is she the one? She's right, she's mine.
MMoran
But when he makes his move, she rejects him. Yells at him. He gets enraged, punches her in the face just to teach her a lesson.
Seeing her lying there, bleeding, helpless, that turns him on. He lusts after her.
MMoran
Maybe he ties her up, and then she is his for as long as he wants. When he's finished, he looks at what he's done.
This broken, battered, dead thing that you made. You're pumped with power. So proud of what you've done that you've just gotta show it off. So you pose the victim for whoever finds her.
OOcurro
You don't know me.
Well, we will, because we're searching your apartment. We're going through your private things.
MMoran
How's it feel to be violated, Mr. Ocurro?
[to Angela about Mark] He scare you?
AAngela
Yes! He once tied a cat to a bus. He dropped another one off a sixth-story walk-up. He's a mistake, I don't know whose - mine or God's!
MMoran
Serial murder's gone global.
Who called you in?
Ralph Walker. Apparently, he saw me on television.
And what, dialed 1-800-Weasel?
[Alex texts on her phone during Ashley's arraignment]
How does the defendant plead?
Not guilty, your honor.
I'll hear the People on bail.
[Alex is still texting]
Miss Cabot, are we keeping you from some important business?
AAlex
[stops texting] Uh, I'm sorry, your honor. The People request remand.
What?
AAlex
The defendant has established a pattern of theft and obfuscation. We consider her an extreme flight risk.
Miss Walker has no criminal record. To keep her locked up over these 2 charges is ridiculous.
[Alex resumes texting]
That sounds a little extreme, even for you, Miss Cabot. And if you don't put that phone down, I'm gonna hold you in contempt!
