Milton Schoenfeld : [During Jason Mayberry's arraignment] The Mayberrys are an old, upstanding family in New Jersey. My client is not a flight risk. His mother, Grace Mayberry will produce him for trial.

Malcolm Sanderson : No judge is going to sign a warrant based on what you've got, Alex.
Olivia Benson : Credit card receipts from area stores and witness statements which put him in his mother's house after each attack. What more could you possibly need?
Malcolm Sanderson : That isn't enough to prove that he stashed a murder weapon in his mother's home.
Elliot Stabler : What has to happen before you get off your collective asses and do your jobs?
Malcolm Sanderson : Look, I know you're upset, Detective, but the law doesn't allow...
Elliot Stabler : Just tell me what you need? You need a New Jersey victim to do something? He admitted to everything...
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Detective!
Elliot Stabler : We got his confession on tape. We just couldn't hold him.
Malcolm Sanderson : You don't make a lot of friends, do you?
Elliot Stabler : Yeah, well.
