Christopher Meloni: Detective Elliot Stabler

Quotes 

• Dr. Raye Massey : Baby has severe oral candidiasis and a temp of 105. I'd say based on her size, she's about five months.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : You lost me at candidiasis.

  Dr. Raye Massey : It's a fungal infection commonly known as thrush.

  Detective Olivia Benson : That's not an STD, Dr. Massey.

  Dr. Raye Massey : Yeah, well, she wasn't sexually abused.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : So why did you call us? ACS handles abandoned kids.

  Dr. Raye Massey : What's happened to her is a crime. Kids only get this sick when they don't get treated.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Treated for what?

  Dr. Raye Massey : HIV.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : She has AIDS.

  Dr. Raye Massey : Advanced and her parents didn't do a damn thing about it. If that's not a crime, what is?

• Dr. Gideon Hutton : I have patients waiting.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : God help them.

• Donald Cragen : Ms. Greylek is doing the propagating, Counselor. Your beef is with the D. A.'s office.

  Donna Emmett : No, it's with your detectives. They interrogated Dr. Hutton in his office without me present.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : That was a friendly chat. When we interrogate Dr. Hutton, he'll know it.

  Dr. Gideon Hutton : You're scaring my patients.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : They should be scared.

• A.D.A. Kim Greylek : [about Tommy]  Your Honor, we move the defendant be remanded without bail.

  Donna Emmett : What?

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : He assaulted a police officer and he's a known flight risk.

  Donna Emmett : This is vindictive.

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : [when Stabler approaches her]  One moment, Your Honor.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : What are you doing?

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : Treating Tommy like the adult he wants to be.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Look, his only crime was being born to the wrong mother. We're not sending a kid to jail.

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : You pressed the charges.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Because I wanted to force Tommy to get tested. Look, we lost. It's over.

• Detective Elliot Stabler : [after Tommy gets his HIV test]  You don't have to tell me.

  Tommy Ross : I want to. The test came back positive. I don't want to die.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

• A.D.A. Kim Greylek : [to Stabler]  Competence in this case means Tommy understands the consequences of his decision.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, obviously, he doesn't. So what's the next move?

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : Punt. Tommy's not charged with a crime so we don't have legal standing to challenge the restraining order.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Then get ACS to fight it.

  Dr. Raye Massey : [to Stabler]  Detective? Your eighth and ninth right lateral ribs are broken.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah.

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : Busted ribs. This is perfect.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Excuse me?

  A.D.A. Kim Greylek : We can put them to good use.
