Quotes
-
Jack McCoy : [Referring to investigating the Mulroneys] I hope we're right on this.
Captain Donald Cragen : I heard Logan's learning to love Staten Island.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : The crime scene is a big grope spot.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Romantic. Teenagers, honeymooners...
[glances at Olivia]
Detective Elliot Stabler : ...co-workers.
Captain Donald Cragen : So where's this guy's love interest?
Detective Olivia Benson : Uh... we're running down the prints.
Det. John Munch : Maybe he was alone.
Detective Olivia Benson : [sarcastic] Well, maybe his pants came off from the force of the shot.
Det. John Munch : All I'm saying is he could have been having safe sex with himself.
-
Captain Donald Cragen : Cocaine users, last I heard, were prone to distorting the truth. She lied to us about when she met the victim, she lied about her trauma the morning after the shooting so Mommy Dearest could put her on ice
Jack McCoy : Hail Regina. Queen of the Mulroney clan.
Captain Donald Cragen : I've had it up to here with these people.
Abbie Carmichael : [to Cragen] What about your composite of the shooter?
Captain Donald Cragen : What about it, Abbie?
Abbie Carmichael : Well, it's based on her eyewitness account. If she's so unreliable, where does that leave you?
Captain Donald Cragen : With her. We think she's the shooter. Like I told Schiff, motive, opportunity. Okay, now she told us she was changing the radio station when this black-rimmed guy appeared, okay? But she can't remember what song was playing. You change the station when something is on that annoys you! These are things you remember. She's zooming us, Jack.
Abbie Carmichael : A .44 is a big gun. The whole idea of her shooting him from behind begs credulity.
Jack McCoy : She didn't have to pull the trigger. We'll have to deal with damage control from Schiff. And the Press and security after the arraignment.
Abbie Carmichael : Jack, these are powerful people. They're magnets for weirdos.
Captain Donald Cragen : [to McCoy] You're going for it?
Jack McCoy : Making false statements, luring a guy to his death for revenge. We'll go murder two, and then we'll flip her on the shooter.
-
Adam Schiff : The nuclear medicine wing at Bronx general, Mulroney chair in public policy at the new school.
Police Commissioner's Aide : Not to mention paying for the restoration of half the structures in the park. My god, Senator Mulroney was instrumental in getting sex crime legislation passed in the Senate.
Captain Donald Cragen : For which we're eternally grateful.
Adam Schiff : Don't be facetious. We're up against some very big guns.
Captain Donald Cragen : I met them. The matriarch and her white-shoe lawyer. Look, Adam, this girl's story is a mess.
Police Commissioner's Aide : She was in shock. What's the motive, by the way?
Captain Donald Cragen : She was involved with the victim in Saratoga. Now, maybe he date raped her, maybe he had sex with her and forgot to call. Either way, she was mortified. We think she stewed in her resentment for years -...
Adam Schiff : You think? You think!
Captain Donald Cragen : [continuing] And when she ran into him in the city, she allowed herself to be picked up.
Police Commissioner's Aide : So that she could go out necking, then run outside and shoot him while he cooperated by sitting still?
Captain Donald Cragen : This girl is no stranger to trouble, she's been arrested for cocaine.
Police Commissioner's Aide : Possession. You're talking about murder for god's sake.
Adam Schiff : Find the weapon, make the case!
Captain Donald Cragen : [voice rising] We have a case! We have motive! We have opportunity!
Police Commissioner's Aide : What about means? Where's the gun?
Captain Donald Cragen : Maybe in the Hudson River. Maybe the East River!
[to Schiff]
Captain Donald Cragen : Sir, with all due respect, 90 percent of all murderer's you put into Attica are there without a murder weapon.
Adam Schiff : Talk to McCoy.
Captain Donald Cragen : Thank you.
