Quotes[]
- Benson: You know, we've heard this sex-games-gone-wrong story a hundred times before. You buying it?
- Rollins: Well, Botox and cupcakes? Sounds tempting.
- Heath Barron: You wouldn't mind that, would you, Detective? Two women, both melting under your touch, every erotic sense in your body churning and churning until they all explode simultaneously in total mental and physical ecstasy?
- Sadie Parker: Have you ever made love to a woman? Oh, I... I know you want to. You want someone who understands you. Your needs, your fantasies, your body. Someone with gentle lips and a curious and generous tongue searching your mouth while a man takes you hard, rough...
- Rollins: [cuts her off] No, that's okay.
- Sadie: What is it with you people? Do you hate sex or are you just scared of it? We enjoy what's natural, what's beautiful. You get your jollies by turning it all into something sick and criminal.
- Benson: Truth be told, I couldn't care less what you and Heath do in your private life as long as nobody else gets hurt.
- Sadie: [about Heath] He loves me.
- Benson: No, he loves the idea of you. The perfect beauty. But beauty fades, Ceci. Even the perfect beauty that he created. That's why he brings other women home to your bed because he's searching for something that can never, ever really exist.
- Heath: [to Rollins] Look, women are fragile beings. They're tortured by the what-ifs. What if I didn't have that damn mole? What if my lips were a little plumper? What if my breasts were a little firmer? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, Detective. I'm sure you've spent more than one sleepless night wondering, "What if my body doesn't return to where it was?"
- Rollins: We don't need to talk about me.
- Heath: Why not? You're a woman. You have fantasies. I make those fantasies real. I do not kill little girls.
- Rollins: You don't care about your patient's fantasies. You care about your own, but that's the thing about fantasies. They're not going to be about flesh and blood. They're never going to be real.
Background Information and Notes[]
- "Plastic" is both a term used for cosmetic surgery and slang used to refer to something or someone as fake or fraudulent.
- It is actually a violation of medical ethics for a physician to treat and prescribe medication to someone they are in a relationship with, especially controlled substances like alprazolam (Xanax), zolpidem (Ambien), codeine and oxycodone. Medical professionals are not allowed to treat immediate family and close friends, this doctor writing numerous prescriptions for controlled substances to his common-law wife would have attracted the attention of both the state medical board and the DEA.
- Close up shots of Fin wearing a wedding ring while he is prying the wall open. Fin isn't married, so obviously it's Ice T's real diamond wedding ring.
