Detective Brian Cassidy : What's that?
Elliot Stabler : [handing a report to Cragen] Take a look at that. Fingerprint check on Pancek. I'd say that gives us a whole different kind of motive.
Captain Donald Cragen : [glancing at the report] See if any of the victims are in the New York area. Your partner may not like this.
Elliot Stabler : Why? It's a murder investigation.
Captain Donald Cragen : Yeah. Yeah, it is. Just don't let her forget we don't get to pick the vic.

Captain Donald Cragen : Why?
Policeman : Some guy molesting a body.
Captain Donald Cragen : Oh, that is just terrific. Who's up?
