- Abbie Carmichael: I have a solution that will make us all happy.
- ADA Jack McCoy: What's that?
- Abbie Carmichael: No deals for anybody. Let's hang 'em all.
- Abbie Carmichael: This isn't a couple of teenagers who killed their newborn because they were scared. These are two adults who went to a lot of trouble to dump a dying child and to cover their tracks. I may be the new kid here, but to me, this sounds like murder.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: [about the 7 year old] You saw him, he can't connect the dots. He can't grasp others exist past his own needs.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: Sounds like half the people I know.
- ADA Jack McCoy: Arresting a seven year old kid for murder? A kid with a laundry list of psychological problems? What was Carmichael thinking?
- D.A. Adam Schiff: Why don't you ask her?
- ADA Jack McCoy: I will. And I don't like the way she got the parents removed as guardians.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: Sounds like you're sorry you didn't think of it first.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: [after watching a video of child struggling violently with his mother] There's your devil.
- Rey Curtis: El Diablo
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: At least his head didn't spin around.
- Detective Lennie Briscoe: [after obtaining a warrant from a reluctant judge] Good thing you booked time with the grand jury.
- Abbie Carmichael: What grand jury?
- ADA Jack McCoy: [his first words to Abbie] I understand you're opening a children's wing on death row.
- [after Jack offers a plea deal to the defendants in exchange for testifying against the other, with no takers]
- Abbie Carmichael: So... who do you want to put on trial?
- ADA Jack McCoy: All of them.
- ADA Jack McCoy: [discussing Abbie] Her tactics are high-handed, and she doesn't have enough experience for major felonies. Four years in Special Narcotics is nothing.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: A 95% conviction rate isn't nothing. She's earned her stripes. Work with her.
- Abbie Carmichael: This report says the child was 2 and a half years old, Marian was 13 months. They autopsied the wrong kid, send it back.
- ADA Jack McCoy: Why don't you take yourself down and get acquainted with the medical examiner?
- [cut to]
- Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers: It's the same kid, bone age doesn't lie.
- ADA Jack McCoy: [after being told every Russian baby sent to America gets the doctor $20,000 which he claims goes to the kids at the orphanage] Doesn't it say that the orphanage only gets $2,000 per child? Where does that other $18,000 go? To your Jaguar, your summer home, that $1500 suit you're wearing now?
- Abbie Carmichael: We have til the end of the week to file our objections.
- ADA Jack McCoy: [holds out his hand] Can you and I agree we're too busy?
- Abbie Carmichael: [turns his hand up and smacks it] Deal.
- Lt. Anita Van Buren: We take this to a judge and say what, 'the devil made them do it?' She'll say we need an exorcist.
