Quotes[]
- Cassidy: I don't get S&M. I mean, "Hurt me, that turns me on"? Come on, what's up with that?
- Munch: It starts with the tattoos. Once you get the ink, it's just a matter of time before you're begging to be tied up and spanked.
- Cassidy: Yeah, tattoos are just a gateway to the sexual dark side, my friend.
- Stabler: [putting his right arm around Cassidy and turning his left arm so one tattoo shows] You guys have finally figured me out, huh?
- Jeffries: Seriously, did you get off on the tiny little pinpricks of pain?
- Stabler: No, I get that from workin' with you.
- Stabler: I tell you, if I were ripping off my company, I'd want this jeweler as my guy.
- Stabler: A redhead and a brunette? Thanks for the very sharp description.
- [on Frank Martin]
- Anna Faust: He hurt one of my girls.
- Stabler: What's her name?
- Anna Faust: If I tell you, do you promise to give him the punishment he so richly deserves?
- Stabler: That's what we hope to do.
- Anna Faust: Good boy.
