Episode Quotes

Detective Elliot Stabler: I'm sorry, Kathleen, but there's no statute of limitations on being a bad parent. [burns up Kathleen's driver's license]

A.D.A. Casey Novak: [as Trevor and Sheila are walking into Casey's office] No deal.
Trevor Langan: Face it - your case is going down in flames.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: Don't be so proud of yourself, Trevor. You attacked a vulnerable young girl.
Lillian Rice: Becca's a very troubled girl, she's always had difficulty telling the truth. She's exaggerated her drinking problem to gain sympathy.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: So, your daughter's not an alcoholic.
Lillian Rice: Absolutely not. I live with her, I would know.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: What planet are you on? She's in rehab!
Lillian Rice: Those places say everyone's an addict - I love chocolate, maybe I should check in.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: That's a great idea, you might get some insight into your own problems.
Trevor Langan: [partially inaudible] That's it.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: [as Trevor and Lillian turn around and leave] Like why you have sex with teenage boys or why you're so desperate to be liked or buy your kid's friendship with alcohol - it's pathetic!

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When Stabler is viewing the body of the deceased victim in the medical examiner's office, the overhead face shot is clearly not that of the victim.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Lillian Rice's attorney justifies her teenaged daughter drinking by saying her blood alcohol level was .06, underneath the .08 legal limit. The legal BAC for minors is .02.
Goof (continuity error): When Elliott brings the pizza to the table, Kathleen reaches over to it and starts pulling off a slice. The camera then cuts to another angle, and the slice is suddenly on her plate.
