Judge Mary Clark : You didn't help the situation by mouthing off to the trial judge.

Judge Oliver Taft : [as he's being arrested] You are going to be very sorry for this.
Detective Elliot Stabler : And you're going to look so pretty for your mug shot.

Detective Elliot Stabler : [to Novak after he is held in contempt] Thanks for getting me a couple hours off.
A.D.A. Casey Novak : You're not blaming this on me.
Detective Elliot Stabler : You did let that defense attorney trash me pretty good.
A.D.A. Casey Novak : That stunt that you pulled, that's gonna help ensure that Judge Taft is gonna screw me in the trial, but, hey, at least your ego's still intact.
Detective Elliot Stabler : You got me out to talk about my ego?
A.D.A. Casey Novak : I did not get you out of there.
Judge Mary Clark : I called in a favor. The contempt citation is withdrawn. So if you could possibly stop acting like a petulant child, that will be thanks enough.

Donald Cragen : Thank you for being such a real helper, Elliot.
