[Stone and the police are searching a suspect's apartment. Stone comes upon a locked chest.]

"It's my hope chest."

[The chest is unlocked. Stone, absolutely stunned and dumbfounded, pulls out an assortment of S&M gear.]

"What were you hoping for?"

- Elizabeth Hendrick and Benjamin Stone


"Quite a Sam Cooke collection. My taste in music. Armani suits."
"Not your taste in clothes."

- Max Greevey and Mike Logan


"People always know things they don't think they know, you know?"

- Donald Cragen


"Henry Rothman killed himself an hour ago. Couldn't face the thought of prison, I guess."
"Did anyone take a picture?"

- Benjamin Stone and Elizabeth Hendrick


"MBBF."
"Male bisexual bondage freak?"

- Max Greevey and Mike Logan


"Don't make me testify. It'll ruin my career. I'm perfect for young dad parts in commercials."

- Gary Pardee


"Art would be much more pleasant if we didn't have to deal with artists."

- Elizabeth Hendrick
Cragen: I have received over a hundred phone calls in the last hour! A commissioner is being dragged through the mud, and it looks like we're responsible! I hope you have something!
Logan: (pauses) It gets worse.
Cragen: How can it get worse?!
Logan: What would you say if I told you Elizabeth Hendricks is connected to this?
Cragen: That's worse.
