[After Logan has complained to Van Buren about the number of suspects, and Briscoe comes in with a lead on a suspect.]

It's Anita's sense of humor.
Lieutenant Anita to you.

If you kick a dog enough he'll stop barking. He might even do tricks for you. But I don't know anyone who would call it humane.
He knew the therapy wasn't working, and instead of admitting he was wrong, he just turned up the voltage.

Mr. McCoy! You're made them close the clinic. Why?
Mrs. Vilardi...
VMrs. Vilardi
They sent him home. I can't take care of him. I don't know what I'm going to do with him. You took away the only place he had. Do you want him, Mr. McCoy? Can he go home with you now? [McCoy says nothing] I didn't think so.
S5 E20Bad Faith
Maybe Mr. Krolinsky's been behaving himself all these years.
He just hasn't been caught. I've prosecuted pedophiles before, Adam. They defy rehabilitation.
Even golfers retire.
[about child molesters] There's people like him in every neighborhood. It could be the Little League coach, your kid's favorite teacher... It's too bad they don't glow in the dark.

KKrolinsky
No, listen, I wanna get help. I'm a sick man, I wanna get help-
You're an adult! Your victims are children. There's nothing you could say that would make me feel sorry for you.

My second wife always wanted a walk-in closet. Now I have one. Trouble is, I live in it.

Two in five Americans think homosexuality is a sin.
Don't worry about two in five. Worry about one in twelve.
