Quotes[]
- Benson: So your hand on my breast is just a happy accident?
- Ned Bogden: I can't help it if you move the wrong way.
- Benson: [interrogating Ned Bogdon] The truth hurts. And Jane was gonna splash it all over the front page. Of course, she'd have to use small print.
- Benson: I gotta tell ya, I never would have pegged a woman for it.
- Stabler: You're surprised by a killer woman? Try missing an anniversary.
- Benson: Still, one that plans murders is pretty rare.
- Benson: So, the maestro couldn't keep his baton in his pants. Let's go talk to him, see if he remembers which one of these mattress tramps had it in for the missus.
- Cragen: Well, take a shovel. Cal Cutler died in a drunk driving accident eight months after his wife was murdered. Burned to death.
- Stabler: Great. Everyone who can give us information on this case is 6 feet under.
- Rita Wills: I made love to him. But then, my friend came early.
- Stabler: What friend?
- Benson: She's talking about her period.
- Stabler: Liv, I found the sheets and they are definitely bloody... among other things.
- Stabler: We disturb Cal Cutler's eternal rest for nothing.
- Dr. Warner: You didn't disturb him.
- Stabler: I was speaking metaphorically.
- Dr. Warner: I meant it literally.
- Benson: [to Susan Delzio] Those bitches didn't deserve your man, his wife didn't deserve your man!
Background information and notes[]
- As Benson and Stabler go to speak to Rita Wills, she has a Martini glass almost empty of fluid. Until Stabler grabs her to arrest her and she swings her glass into her door that is now full when broken.
- When Ned Bogden tells Det. Olivia Benson that she is a 'good girl', the second time, there is a close up of him rubbing her shoulder and Olivia is clearly looking down at her Bogden hands and her shoulders shrug. In the next shot with no time to look back down or lower her shoulders, Olivia is looking back down at the paperwork and her shoulders are lowered.
