Detective Elliot Stabler : Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, not their parents.

Detective Elliot Stabler : These pots and pans haven't been used in so long they got cobwebs on them.
Detective Olivia Benson : Sounds like the ones in my kitchen.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : No wonder I hated Denise so much. All along, Carrie was just trying to get me to protect her. Look at this. Denise didn't care about her daughter. All she cared about was where she was gonna get her next drink.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Why'd you come here?
Detective Olivia Benson : To find out what else I was wrong about.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : [going to talk to Denise] She's probably not even home.
Detective Olivia Benson : Well, I'll leave my card in her mailbox.
Detective Elliot Stabler : With your name on it, she'll probably rip it up. Here, use mine.

Officer Robbins : Kid's name is Carrie Eldridge. She locked the door to her room. She's crying; says he's her boyfriend. Mom calls it in as a rape.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Come on, you guys couldn't sort this out?
Officer Robbins : We hear the "R" word, we're supposed to call you.
-
Detective Elliot Stabler : [showing Justin crime scene photos] What's wrong, can't stand to look at your own work? You hit her fourteen times. Lacerated liver, fractured ribs. Punctured lungs. You bashed her head in so hard, her brain broke clean off its stem.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : Hey, how'd it go?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Judge remanded Carrie to Bridges. At least she won't be in Rikers.
Detective Olivia Benson : I really misjudged her. All I saw was a desperate teen needing help.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Look, I saw my daughter going out with a grown man. Sometimes it's hard to keep your own crap out of the work.
A.D.A. Casey Novak : [entering] Speaking of crap, psych defense.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder?
[sarcastically to Benson]
Detective Elliot Stabler : PMS made her do it.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : Those two are like magnets. Romeo and Juliet.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, except Juliet's too young and Romeo's too old.
Donald Cragen : Any chance we can get Romeo's parents to put some pressure on him?
Detective Elliot Stabler : No, they died in a car accident two years ago.
Detective Olivia Benson : Wouldn't matter. Neither one of 'em's ever gonna admit that they did anything.
Donald Cragen : Well, unless mom was in bed with them and saw what they were doing, there's no rape case.
-
Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran : Here's your murder weapon. Found it in the incinerator room.
Detective Elliot Stabler : It looks like the attack started here.
Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran : That seems right. See the arc on the wall? That's castoff from the subsequent blows. Tails on the droplets in the pattern point to where the blood came from.
Detective Elliot Stabler : That spot right there. It's got a pattern in it.
Forensics Tech Ryan O'Halloran : Yeah, it's secondary transfer from the button on her jeans. The line next to it is off the seam down the side of her pants from when she stopped, rolled on her side.
Dr. Melinda Warner : Surprised she made it this far. Her skull's cracked wide open. We're still looking for all the missing pieces.
Detective Elliot Stabler : How many times was she hit?
Dr. Melinda Warner : I count five blows to the head alone. And she's got wounds on her torso and extremities.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Dead how long?
Dr. Melinda Warner : She's still warm. Two hours, tops.
-
A.D.A. Casey Novak : So, what, you guys couldn't deal with Denise Eldridge so you sicced her on me?
Detective Olivia Benson : What happened?
A.D.A. Casey Novak : Oh, she blew in here with her shopping bag saying you guys weren't doing anything about her daughter. She wanted me to charge you guys for not arresting Justin Sharp.
Detective Elliot Stabler : So what do you want us to do?
A.D.A. Casey Novak : Did he rape Carrie?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Letter of the law, yeah. But we can't prove it.
Detective Olivia Benson : The sex was consensual. You charge Justin with endangering, it's a misdemeanor, first offense. He's not gonna do any time. So how is justice served there?
A.D.A. Casey Novak : It's not.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Right. And when Denise comes back next week with the same accusation...
A.D.A. Casey Novak : Why don't you advise her that unless she has pictures, we're not prosecuting Justin.
