- Dr. Bennett Alston: You don't understand, Detective. These people don't enjoy sex. They're numb. They're gripped by some force they can't control.
- Fin Tutuola: It's like somebody who drinks too much, snorts cocaine. Bets the house on the ponies.
- Dr. Bennett Alston: And those addictions are considered disorders, but when you have to have sex three times a day, you're considered a pervert. Sex addicts carry so much shame, they're always looking for redemption.
- Detective John Munch: Back in Baltimore, I come into the office one day. Everybody's staring at me like my fly's open. I say, "What's up?" They send me across the street to a gallery. One of my ex-girlfriends is showing her work. Centerpiece is a wall-sized print of yours truly from his free-love days au naturel.
- Fin Tutuola: Serves you right for posing nude in the first place.
- Dr. Bennett Alston: It's called covert incest. You're a little girl. Dad watches you take baths, tells you dirty jokes. Mentions how great the sex was last night with some woman.
- Detective John Munch: Twisted way to teach the birds and bees.
- Dr. Bennett Alston: Then you hit puberty. Daddy dearest admires your shape, leaves porn magazines in your room, buys you sexy lingerie. Maybe takes you as his date to a business dinner or a cocktail party.
- Detective John Munch: And when little girl is all grown up, the only way she knows how to relate to men is through sex.
- Capt. Donald Cragen: The law isn't always about justice.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: Who let you in on our dirty little secret?
- Captain Donald Cragen: Don't beat yourself up. From where I'm sitting, you did everything right. And I'd be the first to tell you if you didn't.
- Jordan Owens: My mother died of cancer the year after I was born. Dear old Dad, when he wasn't at work was too drunk to care about anything else.
- Fin Tutuola: He ever abuse Marnie?
- Jordan Owens: He never touched her, but he just couldn't keep his eyes off her chest and he just couldn't keep his mouth shut about how beautiful it was.
- Marcus Cole: [about Ms. Owens] She wasn't gonna graduate me.
- Elliot Stabler: News flash: you gotta show up to class to graduate.
- Detective John Munch: We're talking about victimless crime.
- Fin Tutuola: Unless you're Marnie Owens.
- Detective John Munch: Marnie Owens' problem wasn't that she had group sex. It was that she couldn't stop herself.
- Fin Tutuola: We got 14 others here from Dante's. What's their excuse?
- Detective John Munch: You mean the fireman, the accountant, the director of human resources? All consenting adults, behind closed doors, nobody gets hurt? They don't need an excuse.
- Fin Tutuola: That's easy for you to say, Mr. Letting-It-All-Hang-Out-At-Some-Art-Gallery.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: [to Montrose about Marnie Owens] You followed her to school, you followed her home. You were jealous, angry, weren't you?
- Philip Montrose: I wasn't.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: Because she was having sex with other men.
- Philip Montrose: You think I was jealous of that slut? You have to care about someone to be jealous. She was a whore.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: Stick to the facts relevant to the case, Mr. Montrose.
- Philip Montrose: Those are the facts. She'd spread her legs for anybody, anywhere, any time. As many as she could. She'd pick up guys off the streets and bring them home. She liked it rough. She was asking for this to happen. God only knows who Marnie picked up on her way home from my place because she needed another fix.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: She needed a fix? You stalked a woman in Connecticut, then you stalked Marnie Owens. Now she's dead. What about your fix, Mr. Montrose?
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: They didn't go for Murder Two. It's Manslaughter One.
- Elliot Stabler: Grand Jury couldn't get past her sex life.
- Detective Olivia Benson: The son of a bitch is gonna get away with murder.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: No, they listened. They think Montrose is guilty, a jury will, too.
- Elliot Stabler: Not life.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: Fifteen to twenty-five to sit around and think about what he's done? I'll take that.
- Detective John Munch: Her name is Marnie Owens, though I suspect you people exchange fluids more often than names.
- Captain Donald Cragen: [interrupting an argument between Munch and Fin] All right, last time I checked, this was the Special Victims Unit, not the Sex Police.
- Hernandez: [about Marnie Owens' computer] I mirrored her hard drive. The history in this thing reads like some bad porno flick.
