“Disciple” quotes from Law & Order

Schiff

Whatever happened to sending the kid to her room?

Carmichael

They tried that. The mother kept her chained to a radiator.

Carmichael

There's no church here! Rose Hallacy was a loose cannon!

McCoy

Who didn't take a dime from Margot Gracen or anybody else, ministered to these people out of the goodness of her heart, gave up worldly things to do the work of God.

Carmichael

Spoken like a parochial schoolboy.

McCoy

6 years at St. Ignatius.

Carmichael

Did they teach you how to do exorcisms, Jack?

McCoy

They taught us to have a healthy respect for the devil.

Carmichael

The only devil in this case is the woman we're trying for murder.

McCoy

The Crusades. Islamic jihad. Holy wars. There is an oxymoron if ever there was one. Are these slaughters excused because they were perpetrated in the name of God? And those are the easy cases. Rosa Halacy isn't some bloodthirsty crusader bent on wiping out the infidel. She's a woman who heard the voice of God tell her to save a child from the Devil. What do you make of Rosa Halacy and her calling? I can't answer it myself. Mr. Wade says you can't convict her because she's a good person, maybe even a holy person. I'm not sure I disagree with his characterization, but it brings you right back to the contradiction. Can a righteous person commit a wrongful act? What I do know is that Rosa Halacy is flesh and blood, like you and me. We can't let Rosa Halacy assert for herself the power we vest in our Supreme Being. She may hear God, but she may not play God. Just because she has a divine mission, it doesn't exempt her from the code of human behavior. When she squeezed the life out of Kira Grayson in the back room of her apartment, she violated that code. Her passion for God, however tangible and heartfelt, rendered her oblivious to the mortality of Kira Grayson. She's responsible for the consequences of her convictions. And just as her God holds her accountable, so should we.
