Christopher Meloni: Detective Elliot Stabler

Quotes 

• Elliot Stabler : We know about your club, Miss Kerber.

  Cindy Kerber : Then I assume you found what we were growing.

  Elliot Stabler : Pretty tough to miss. You guys have very green thumbs.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Dr. Warner]  An M.E. out of the morgue? Must be big.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Captain Cragen told me you were here. Lab finished analyzing the vomit from the crime scene.

  Olivia Benson : Hey, am I gonna want to stop eating before I hear this?

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Pieces of roast beef, a little mozzarella cheese, kernels of corn and raisins. Luckily, they hadn't been in the stomach very long, so everything was only partially digested.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah, I'm done.

  [pushes her plate away and Stabler starts eating from it] 

• Elliot Stabler : This membership list is getting smaller. Half these people are either dead or too weak to get out of bed.

• Elliot Stabler : Okay, I got to tell you that I believe Jeremy's version of the events. You know, this kid is more of a danger to himself than anybody else.

  [to Dr. Huang] 

  Elliot Stabler : Doc, you saw both interviews. What do you think?

  Dr. George Huang : I agree with you. Jeremy is more easily manipulated. He's desperate to fit in at any cost whereas Zachary is far more calculating. I think he wields a great deal of control over Jeremy and I think he murdered and raped Susan Oestreicher.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Cindy Kerber]  This woman was raped. She was stabbed. You don't want to help us in our investigation? That is very strange to me.

• Olivia Benson : Jeremy, we picked up your friend Zachary at school today.

  Jeremy Brice : Zach's here?

  Olivia Benson : He's right in the next room, speaking to one of our detectives. What do you think he's going to say?

  Jeremy Brice : Nothing.

  Elliot Stabler : I think he might. Look, I know you don't want to get him in trouble, but you've got to tell us what happened. Even if it's something that's really, really bad, you've got to tell us.

  Jeremy Brice : Zach's my best friend. You can't make me say he did something bad. He didn't do anything.

• Olivia Benson : [to Jeremy Brice]  Was it your idea to break into that woman's apartment?

  [Jeremy nods his head] 

  Olivia Benson : Jeremy, why would you do that?

  Jeremy Brice : Zach thought it was cool.

  Elliot Stabler : Was it cool when you took the telephone and bashed her head in?

  Jeremy Brice : I didn't do that. Zach did.

  Elliot Stabler : Do I listen to his story or yours?

  Jeremy Brice : She fell down. She was bleeding. Zach said to get a knife from the kitchen. I didn't want to, but he was screaming at me. I didn't know what he was going to do with it, I swear.

  Olivia Benson : So you got the knife and then what happened?

  Jeremy Brice : When I walked back in, Zach was on top of her. He took the knife and he stabbed her over and over. There was all this blood and I threw up! I'm sorry.

  [sobbing] 

  Jeremy Brice : I'm really, really sorry! I'm sorry.

  Olivia Benson : Jeremy, who covered her up with the blanket?

  Jeremy Brice : I did. You shouldn't leave someone like that. Can I go home now? I just want to go home. I want to go home.

• Det. Elliot Stabler : [sees Warner enter the restaurant where he and Olivia are eating lunch]  An ME out of the lab? It must be big.

  M.E. Melinda Warner : I got the report back from the contents of the vomit.

  Det. Olivia Benson : Am I going to want to stop eating for this?

  M.E. Melinda Warner : Roast beef, mozzarella cheese, corn and raisins. Luckily, it had only been in the stomach a few hours, so it was only partially digested.

  Det. Olivia Benson : All right, I'm done.

  [pushes her salad away. Elliot shrugs and takes it]
