Quotes

“	Where do you live? If you can't tell us where you live, we can provide you with an address.	”
–Olivia Benson

Ted Bolger: Who is he?!

Odafin Tutuola: That's my Jew. Where's Kanick?

John Munch: Shalom.

John Munch: Your Jew? Your Jew? What if I called you 'my boy'?!

Odafin Tutuola: I'll be your boy, John.

Lorna Frankel: Hey, you can't arrest them. This is a free country!

Odafin Tutuola: No, it's a democracy, and the majority of us don't like what's going on here.

Ted Bolger: I'm callin' the police.

Odafin Tutuola: What, so you can show 'em all your cocaine?

(on "tuning up" suspects)

“	I don't do that anymore. I'm old and it's tiring.	”
–John Munch

Donald Cragen: The girl O.D.'d and died alone. Her father, a decorated cop, 30-year career, over, no pension, his family in shambles. But you know what really, really scares me? That all you people are concerned about is some lying, murdering sack of crap.

IAB Officer: In this country, that lying, murdering sack of crap has rights too, Captain.

Elliot Stabler: Tito, this is Detective Benson. Heard you wanted to help.

Tito Frank: Nobody's talking to you and a mall queen. What about the black chick?

Olivia Benson: The black chick has other duties.

Tito Frank: Nobody knows I have a camera.

Elliot Stabler: Well, I can keep a secret if the mall queen can.
