Dr. Skoda quotes from Law & Order

You're about to look into a very ugly corner of the human heart. Bring a shovel.

Al Napoli, the Diaper Don!

McCoy

Doctors, the question is very simple: at the time she fired the gun, did Lindsay Carson appreciate the consequences of her action, and did she know it was wrong?

Yes.

No.

Ross

Terrific.

[seeing Skoda stand up] What are you doing?

I'm going to write my report.

You didn't even listen to me.

Oh, well. Trust me, I've heard it all before.

Jenny's been emotionally abused, maybe physically. She lashes out when her anger reaches the boiling point.

Carmichael

So we lock this girl up?

Get used to it. There are more and more girls committing violent crimes. I don't see anything from Jenny except a future of escalating antisocial behavior.

McCoy

What makes you say that?

Emotional abuse. The snuffed cat. Blacked out photographs. Her lack of response when I went after her.

McCoy

Fantasies about hurting little boys.

Previews of coming attractions. She's graduated to murder, she's not going to stop.

Carmichael

You sound pretty sure.

The kid's a done deal. She's a textbook serial killer. You just got her early.

Your shrink was trying to predict antisocial behavior by looking at her subjects' early childhood experience.

Green

Did she predict someone would grow up and murder their therapist?

You'd have to get into her session notes. That's where any clues would be.

Briscoe

What kind of clues?

First thing I'd look for would be some sort of physical abuse, possibly sexual. And because the nature of your murder was particularly vicious, I'd focus on someone who felt betrayed by their therapist.

Briscoe

At 150 an hour, that would be practically everybody, wouldn't it?

Serena

Not that it matters, but does he feel any kind of remorse at all?

No. Clay Warner couldn't care less about anyone.

McCoy

I can't think of a better candidate for execution.

Connie

[about Conway] Now that he has a taste for violence, how likely is he to stop?

How about, "Not bloody likely"?
