Rage (2005)

Dann Florek: Captain Donald 'Don' Cragen

Quotes 

• Donald Cragen : Elliot, we're almost five hours into this.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : I can still get to him.

  Donald Cragen : We've gotta start thinking about a different tactic than getting creative with takeout.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Listen to that last thing Rickett said about kids. They're greedy. They're out of control. They're stupid. Now, for Rickett, that is the worst insult he can give.

  Donald Cragen : This guy is never gonna confess.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Captain, I know this guy. He's like an addict. He's hooked on the rage. Not expressing it, controlling it. He gets off on denying himself an outlet for his anger. And it builds and it builds till he finds a girl and he takes it out on her.

  Donald Cragen : Rickett was playing you in there. He was perfectly in control. Were you? Rickett thinks he's in charge. You make sure he knows he's not. Just keep pushing his buttons. See which one lights him up.

• Donald Cragen : [to Fin after watching Stabler yell at Rickett]  What the hell was that?

  Fin Tutuola : Nothing.

  Donald Cragen : So Elliot screams at him for a couple of hours and what's the plan after that?

  Fin Tutuola : I don't know. That was the end of the plan.
