[edit] Quotes
- Olivia Benson: What package?
- Elliot Stabler: Ah, Mr. Gorman's. His penis and testicles were cut off. And they're still missing.
- Oliva Benson: Maybe Mr. Gorman didn't 'want' to be a man anymore.
- Elliot Stabler: You mean he 'wanted' his Johnson wacked off.
[edit] Background information and notes
- Mariska Hargitay's father, Mickey Hargitay, has a cameo as the grandfather who appears in the episode's opening.
- The name "Gorman" might be a mash-up of the names "Gor" and "Norman". Between 1967 and 1988, an author named John Norman (nee John Lange) wrote a series of books called The Chronicles of Gor, about an alternate world where much of the female population have given up all their rights to the men, who dominate them and often rape and humiliate them.
