[edit] Quotes
- "Alice swallowed one of the cakes, and was dee-lighted to find she began shrinkin' directly."
- – Saul Picard
- "Did you see the President's speech last night? That man will say anything to keep us in Iraq. Oh terrible war! I see now why arms are so rarely used!"
- – Saul Picard
- Casey Novak: Mr. Picard does have some psychiatric issues. Is it okay if our Dr. Huang evaluates him?
- Barry Moredock: Can't hurt. I go to war with the Feds, I'm gonna need all the ammunition I can get.
- "I don't deserve to live. Don't you understand? If the state thinks that killin' me will stop one pervert from doing what I did to those little girls, then it's worth it. Please let me go home to die."
- – Saul Picard, asking to be extradited to Louisiana despite facing the death penalty there
- "You know, I'm gonna have a child in a month. That's scary enough. But the thought that I was never gonna be able to see that child, that terrified me. So Picard? Bring him on."
- – Elliot Stabler
- 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.
- Olivia Benson: Those little girls are entitled to some justice.
- Casey Novak: But what you're talking about isn't justice! It's revenge!
- 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. (leans into Benson's ear) Because I don't answer to you. (walks out)
- Olivia Benson: (under her breath) We'll see.
[edit] Background information and notes
- Saul Picard seems to be based in part on famed children's writer (and long-alleged pedophile) Lewis Carrol. Like Picard, Carrol had two names (he was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgeson), enjoyed playing with words, and fixated on one particular young female acquaintence (Alice Liddell, for whom his most famous creation was named.)
