Dann Florek: Captain Donald 'Don' Cragen

Quotes 

• Capt. Donald Cragen : Since when is oral sex not sex?

  Detective Olivia Benson : Since Bill Clinton said so.

• Capt. Donald Cragen : I am really getting sick of these kids, which is probably why I don't have any.

• Capt. Donald Cragen : [to Stabler]  Have you left anything out?

  Elliot Stabler : No, that's everything. Our rape victim's an eighth grader at Tucker Junior High. Her name is Cynthia Wilmont. I just didn't want to pursue it without talking to you first.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : Now that's the first sensible thing you've said because you're going to have to drop it.

  Elliot Stabler : Captain...

  Capt. Donald Cragen : No. You have left the city, the hospital and yourself open to a lawsuit.

  Elliot Stabler : We're talking about a minor here. Now, there's got to be a way to circumvent that.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : Once you talk to the girl, she's going to know the nurse gave her up. You open that can of worms, victims' advocates will want your blood and I will give it to them.

  Elliot Stabler : I'd think they'd be the first ones who'd want us to catch this hump.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : Elliot, it's hard enough to get adult women to report. If victims feel no confidence, they won't even go in for the exam. Now, you are going to drop this until she is ready to come forward on her own.

  Elliot Stabler : It's her teacher, Captain. And he gets away with this, he's not going stop. At the very least, let's just get him out of the school.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : You have the victim brought to the principal's office for a sit-down. If she doesn't want to talk, you back off.

  Elliot Stabler : All right.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : And you go behind my back again, it goes in your jacket.
