Detective Elliot Stabler : [to Judge Donnelly] We arrested Reagan, Mark, Luke and Jordan last night.
Judge Elizabeth Donnelly : I know. I released them this morning.
A.D.A. Casey Novak : Why? Those kids disobeyed your order not to drink?
Judge Elizabeth Donnelly : They were very remorseful. They even volunteered to enter alcohol awareness classes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a decision to write.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Classes are not gonna change those kids.
Judge Elizabeth Donnelly : I am not going to ruin the futures of four promising young students by throwing them in with gang-bangers and kiddie murderers. The punishment needs to fit the crime and I think jail, in this case, is excessively punitive.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Bad decision.
Judge Elizabeth Donnelly : What did you say?
Detective Elliot Stabler : I said it's a bad decision and you know it.
Judge Elizabeth Donnelly : So jail is okay for these kids, but not for your own daughter? When she got caught drunk driving, you made those charges disappear.
