Delroy Lindo: Detective Victor Moran

Quotes 

• Mark Ocurro : I love women and anyone who knows me will tell you that.

  Detective Victor Moran : Anyone who knows the real you is dead, Mr. Ocurro.

• Detective Victor Moran : [to Stabler about his comatose daughter]  She's 12 years old. She's supposed to be dating boys that I don't like, deciding what she wants to be when she grows up. She's supposed to have... she's supposed to have a life.

  Elliot Stabler : Solving the case isn't going to bring your family back.

  Detective Victor Moran : You think I don't know that?

  Elliot Stabler : This obsession is not about you, but it's definitely not about the victims, either.

  Detective Victor Moran : Since when?

  Elliot Stabler : Since you started blaming the killer for your wife and daughter. They're collateral damage that he's got to pay for.

  Detective Victor Moran : You're wrong.

  Elliot Stabler : You pull away from your squad, you don't work with any partner, you don't need or you won't accept any other kind of help and the victims pay for it.

  Detective Victor Moran : Look, I can still do my damn job.

  Elliot Stabler : While you've been looking for somebody else to blame, how many things have you missed? Something that fresh eyes would have caught.

  Detective Victor Moran : I honestly don't know.

  Elliot Stabler : Well, after five murders, maybe you should find out.

• Donald Cragen : There's no prints on the kiln. We can't even prove Ocurro touched it.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yes, we can. The power company just confirmed Casey Chapman's kilowatt hours doubled the day of her murder.

  Detective Victor Moran : Ocurro's alibi just went up in flames. He was with his mother on Sunday. Casey Chapman was murdered on Monday night. Then, he turned on the kiln to accelerate decomp.

  Elliot Stabler : Making Warner think that the murder happened much earlier.

  Donald Cragen : And making our killer think he got away with it.

• Elliot Stabler : [At the end of the episode where it's revealed that Moran's daughter has her organs taken out for transplant]  I'm very sorry.

  Detective Victor Moran : It's a second chance. Everyone needs one.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Moran]  You know, funny thing. When I ran the M.O. through VICAP, none of your three cases came up.

  Detective Victor Moran : I blocked your access.

  Odafin Tutuola : A glory hog.

  Detective Victor Moran : It's not about me. It's about them.

• Detective Victor Moran : [about the serial rapist\killer]  Look at his playground. He's targeting minority areas. Harlem, the black neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens. That's his comfort zone.

  Elliot Stabler : Profiling Sexual Sadists 101. The next thing he's going to do is tell us he probably drives a clean late-model car, has trouble keeping a job because he's got a bad temper. You're not the only cop who spent time at Quantico.

  Detective Victor Moran : But I'm the only cop working it, sport.
