- Casey Novak: [during her closing summation] Millions dying of AIDS is an unimaginable tragedy, but does that mean two more deaths, two murders, don't matter? The defense argues that these murders were justifiable, because they prevented future deaths. It might sound rational, but consider this. Tobacco executives, they make cigarettes and hundreds of thousands of people who smoke die of lung cancer. Would it be all right to murder the tobacco CEOs? Do you think that two situations aren't the same? Think again. People who smoke, they know the risks, and they choose to smoke, despite them, just like people who choose to get high and have sex without a condom. So don't blame the victims. Gabriel Thomason broke the law. He killed two men. He knew what he was doing, and he knew it was wrong. You must hold him responsible.
- Odafin Tutuola: [to Henry] Manhattan Killer squad. They call you killer?
- Henry Fanello: No. King Henry.
- Odafin Tutuola: King of what?
- Olivia Benson: Garden City, Long island? Henry Finello, possession seven, grand theft auto, assault. Oh, just turned 18, three weeks ago.
- Odafin Tutuola: Happy birthday. You're an adult. No more calling daddy, no more juvie time.
- Carolyn Maddox: [during her closing summation] There are no mysteries here. Two people are dead. Gabriel Thomason has told you that he shot and killed them both, and why he did it. In 1981, 41 gay men were diagnosed with a rare form of cancer no doctors had ever seen before. Now, 40,000,000 people are infected with HIV. 40,000,000! Gay and straight. And we keep hoping that they'll do something about it before it's too late, and no one does. That's why Gabriel Thomason took matters into his own hands. Robin Weller and Lydon Grant infected dozens of men, and could've infected hundreds if their drug and sex binge continued. They were terrorists. Let me put it to you this way. You walk out of here tonight, and on the courthouse steps is Osama bin Laden holding a dirty bomb. Everything you know about this man tells you that he will detonate it and turn Manhattan into a nuclear wasteland. You've got a gun. Would you shoot him to save the city? Desperate times require desperate measures. Gabriel Thomason did what he had to do to save innocent lives. Now, it's your turn. Do what you have to do. Find him not guilty.
- Odafin Tutuola: Two to one, he walks.
- Olivia Benson: I wouldn't take those odds on a double homicides. Safe money, 25 to life.
- Odafin Tutuola: You didn't see Gabriel on the stand. When he cried, the jury believed him.
- Casey Novak: No, they didn't. Guilty. Murder two, both counts.
