Quotes

Dr. George Huang : It's her choice, Elliot. If Sheila doesn't want to see her father, you can't make her.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, and after he dies, you don't think she'll regret it?
Dr. George Huang : Maybe, maybe not.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Oh, come on, all you shrinks talk about is closure.
Dr. George Huang : "Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Tolstoy, Anna Karenina. Families are complicated.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, tell me about it. All right, so Tierney. How do we get him to talk?
Dr. George Huang : You don't. He'll talk to you when he's ready.
Detective Elliot Stabler : When he's ready? Look, this guy is running out of time and quite frankly, I'm running out of patience.
Dr. George Huang : You can't rush Scheherazade.
Detective Elliot Stabler : What's that?
Dr. George Huang : You ever read 1,001 Arabian Nights?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, Ali Baba, the flying carpets.
Dr. George Huang : Scheherazade is the narrator. She made up the stories for a king who married a new virgin every night and then cut off the head of last night's bride. When he married Scheherazade, she told him a story so gripping that he couldn't kill her until he heard the end of the story.
Detective Elliot Stabler : But the story never finished. It just went on and on.
Dr. George Huang : Tierney's trying to stave off death like Scheherazade with a story of bank robberies and illegitimate children.
Detective Elliot Stabler : He's trying to hang on to make peace with his daughter.
