Quotes[]

Benson: He, uh, really seems to favor that one position.
Stabler: Least he's consistent.
Benson: Boring, I think, is the word you're looking for.

Benson: [to Prescott] Because she told you to get lost.
Stabler: Yeah, and we know how well you take rejection.

Munch: Found a message for Cassie.

Tutuola: Looks like it's written in blood.
Benson: Whose blood?

Dr. Huang: He may believe he's in a relationship that doesn't even exist.
Munch: Sounds like me with my four ex-wives.

Stabler: Thought a newscaster was sending signals through the television to him.
Tutuola: What happened?
Stabler: He followed her home one night, she told him to get lost and he shot her.

Tutuola: If I wanted to go crawling in dark, smelly places I would have joined the Department of Sanitation.
