Law & Order · Season 14, Episode 11

McCoy and Edgars in “Darwinian”

I think you had more choices than Alan Fisher did, don't you? He was held hostage to his own delusions, but you could control yourself. You could have looked for a job.

EEdgars

I had a job. I told you.

And a house?

EEdgars

Yeah.

And a car?

EEdgars

That's right.

Friends, family, possessions.

EEdgars

And I lost them! I lost it all. You don't know what that feels like. To be a failure. To go to bed on a piece of wet cardboard every freakin' night, wondering, "How did this happen to me?"! I didn't want this. I didn't choose this life. This is something that happened to me, and it's like this thing in my chest that's killing me! [pounds chest] It gets me right here!

Sounds human to me, Mr. Edgars.
