Quotes 

• Sidney Truex : [after Charlotte ends up in the hospital after attempting suicide] 

  [to Elliot and Olivia] 

  Sidney Truex : What'd you do to my daughter, hmm? She gonna be okay?

  Olivia Benson : She's sleeping. The doctor says she's gonna be fine.

  Sidney Truex : Oh, fine. Sure, sure. She's lucky you didn't kill her.

  Elliot Stabler : We didn't slit her wrist.

  Sidney Truex : [yelling]  No, but you interrogated her without a lawyer present! You told her she did it! You made her suicidal with your accusations and innuendo!

  Olivia Benson : No, the drugs that she was on made her depressed and her own guilt made her suicidal.

  Sidney Truex : She's innocent, Detective.

  Olivia Benson : Well, you know that's not true since you're the one who saw her at the house.

  Sidney Truex : I had a head injury. I don't know who I saw. And stay away from Charlotte. As soon as she's discharged, I'm taking her home.

  Elliot Stabler : She's going to Rikers.

  Sidney Truex : Over my dead body!

• Ed Tucker : [to Stabler]  You know you can have your union delegate or attorney present.

  Elliot Stabler : I don't need them. I didn't do anything wrong.

  Ed Tucker : Then why is a 19-year-old boy dead?

• Ed Tucker : [to Stabler]  Ten people saw you beat Ryan. I think you chased him. I think your adrenaline was pumping. He started throwing punches at you and you lost control.

  Elliot Stabler : You're wrong.

  Ed Tucker : You really should control your temper, Detective.

  Elliot Stabler : What I did, I did in self-defense. I chased a perp. He attacked me. I knocked him down. I cuffed him.

  Ed Tucker : Save it, Detective. I can't risk having a cop with your anger issues out on the street. As of right now, you're on suspension.

  Elliot Stabler : I'm not a killer.

  Ed Tucker : We'll let the medical examiner be the judge of that.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Charlotte's friends about them taking prescription drugs]  You know, you guys are lucky you didn't kill yourselves taking all that crap?

  Jane Williams : It's medicine from a doctor. It's not like we're doing crack or heroin.

• Kathy Stabler : [to Elliot]  I saw the news. I knew you didn't kill that boy.

  Elliot Stabler : It's been a rough couple days. And I've had time to think about what's important to me. I love my job and I love my family. I nearly lost both of them. I wanna come home.
