Quotes8

  • Detective John Munch: [to Stabler] You're afraid to face your own mortality.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Well, who isn't?
  • Detective John Munch: We're all gonna die, Elliot. The only question is when and how.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: [to Dr. Huang] You think selling organs should be legal?
  • Dr. George Huang: Why not? People can sell their blood, sperm and eggs.
  • Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola: Of course, there's more where that stuff came from.
  • Dr. George Huang: You only need one kidney to live. There'd be more to transplant if people were allowed to sell them.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Any idea what was used to cut her up?
  • Dr. Melinda Warner: I can't tell you the weapon, but it was no hack job.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: What do you mean?
  • Dr. Melinda Warner: Each part was skillfully disarticulated at the joint by someone who knew exactly what they were doing.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Like a butcher.
  • Dr. Melinda Warner: Or a doctor.
  • Dr. Melinda Warner: Female, early to mid-20s. Her head, left leg and right arm were in the car.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Dismemberment's not a sex crime.
  • Dr. Melinda Warner: This one might be. I found traces of semen in her throat.
  • Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola: Guy didn't even let her gargle.
  • NTCC Representative: Five thousand in New York State waiting for kidney transplants. Last year, we had about a thousand donors.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: What happened to the people who don't get one?
  • NTCC Representative: Some died. The lucky ones are still on dialysis, waiting. We're doing our best to encourage more people to donate.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Kyle, your dad loves you very much. He'd do anything in the world to make you well again, but he did something wrong.
  • Kyle McGovern: Did he rob a bank or something?
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: No, no.
  • Kyle McGovern: Did he hurt anybody?
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: He broke the law. He broke the law to get you a kidney. He was just trying to help you.
  • Kyle McGovern: So, why is that wrong?
  • Detective John Munch: [to Amy] Going to jail for assisted suicide didn't teach you a damn thing, did it?
  • Amy Solwey's Interpreter: Sure it did. Now I help people live instead of die.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: Amy, you're still breaking the law.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: [to Munch about Amy] Why'd you bring her here?
  • Detective John Munch: Amy's next on the transplant list. That kidney would have been hers anyway.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: You're doing what we're trying to stop, John. That kidney was bought and sold.
  • Detective John Munch: Well, let's just throw it away. She dies.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: I know that you care about her, but you can't do this.
  • Detective John Munch: If that was your son in there...
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: It's not my son in there. We're not talking about my son!
  • Detective John Munch: When you collar James McGovern, you tell him your son's life is worth more than Kyle's.
  • Detective Elliot Stabler: I gotta collar you, John. You arranged this. Novak saw you here. You don't think Swan's gonna give you up to get himself a better deal?
  • Dr. Robert Swann: [appears in the room] Why would I do that?
