Stabler: What if I had?

Alex: Frank Moretti. If you want to go after someone, go after him.

Bell: How did I miss this?
Stabler: If the NYPD didn't put together there was a pattern, that's not on you.
Bell: Elliot, I'm a gay cop. If someone is committing crimes against the gay community and the NYPD is ignoring it, that's not okay.

Juan: How long has it been?
Bell: Well my hair is curly again, so it's been a while.

Stabler: I didn't know this was still an issue.

Eric: How are you gonna write this up?
Stabler: You know the routine. We'll say we were there.
