Quotes
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Novak about Sal Picard] Do you think he'll ever get better?
Casey Novak : I don't know. I thought Charlie would get better.
Detective Olivia Benson : What happened?
Casey Novak : I got a call from the morgue about six months ago. A John Doe clipped by a passing cab. No ID on him, but my business card. It was Charlie. Maybe he'd be alive if I hadn't make him leave.
Detective Olivia Benson : Casey, you had to save yourself.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Novak] When do you want me on the stand?
Casey Novak : Uh, I don't think I do. I'll just use Sabrina and Elliot.
Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, you don't need Elliot. I saw everything that Picard did.
Casey Novak : But you didn't hear what he said and I need Elliot to show the jury what Picard is capable of.
Detective Olivia Benson : Well, the police surgeon said that Elliot can't leave his house until his vision's back.
Casey Novak : Unless he has to appear in court.
Detective Olivia Benson : Casey, Elliot has a better chance for a quicker recovery if we don't stress him out.
Casey Novak : Look, I know he appreciates you looking out for him.
Detective Olivia Benson : It's my job to look out for him.
Casey Novak : He is perfectly capable of making this decision on his own, so I'll talk to him myself.
Detective Olivia Benson : Leave him alone, Casey.
Casey Novak : I can't.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : Was she raped?
Dr. Jane Larom : Yes. No fluids, but several hairs, and there's significant bruising.
[pause]
Dr. Jane Larom : She's only eleven.
Detective Olivia Benson : Don't ask why. It'll just make you crazy.
-
John Munch : Well, it doesn't matter. This indictment's a crock. Picard kidnaps Tiffany in Mississippi and the feds indict him in Louisiana?
Detective Olivia Benson : He raped her there. It's part of the same crime. The Feds can try him in either state.
John Munch : Olivia, they're gonna drop the kidnapping charge and let Louisiana try him for rape.
Casey Novak : Because raping a child under the age of twelve in Louisiana is a capital crime.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Novak] You proud of yourself?
Casey Novak : I don't need a lecture from you.
Detective Olivia Benson : I know why you sandbagged Elliot in court.
[goes through Casey's desk]
Casey Novak : Stay out of my desk!
[Olivia takes out a photo]
Detective Olivia Benson : Where is he now, Casey? Your schizo ex-boyfriend. Is he locked up somewhere?
Casey Novak : Get out of my office.
Detective Olivia Benson : He's the reason that you tanked the Picard case. That man deserves to be punished for what he did.
Casey Novak : Wait, wait. What he did to Tiffany Lemarsh or Sabrina Farmer? Or are you talking about payback for what he did to Elliot?
Detective Olivia Benson : You manipulated me and Elliot to satisfy your own agenda.
Casey Novak : Okay, you answer the question, Detective. Who did you let it leak to that we collared Picard? Did you go straight to the Feds or did you back-channel it through the Louisiana cops?
Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, you're damn right I told the Feds. They have a right to know.
Casey Novak : No. You want Picard dead. Louisiana kills him, your hands are clean.
Detective Olivia Benson : Those little girls are entitled to some justice.
Casey Novak : What you're talking about isn't justice. It's revenge.
Detective Olivia Benson : He's my partner, Casey.
Casey Novak : And it's my case. And how I handle it is none of your damn business because I don't answer to you.
Detective Olivia Benson : We'll see.
-
Casey Novak : [to Olivia] Why did you rat me out to the D.A.?
Detective Olivia Benson : Because you threw the case.
Casey Novak : I had no choice after you sold out Picard to the Feds.
Detective Olivia Benson : Look, uh, Casey. I'm as guilty as you are. You were right. I wanted revenge for Elliot.
-
Odafin Tutuola : [to Lake] I never picked you for being soft on capital punishment.
Chester Lake : It's a no-brainer. Death penalty's never been a deterrent for murder.
Odafin Tutuola : Most killers strike once. Animals who rape kids usually repeat.
Chester Lake : Threaten to execute them for rape, they have nothing to lose by killing their victims to silence them.
Detective Olivia Benson : But execute them, they'll never hurt another child.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : [pops a trunk, finds Sabrina bloody and unresponsive] She's barely breathing!
Donald Cragen : WE NEED OXYGEN OVER HERE!
Chester Lake : EMS is stuck in traffic!
Detective Olivia Benson : We'll take her!
