Quotes
-
Billy Tripley : [Dr. Warner is removing some of Billy Tripley's hair for a DNA sample] Look, this really hurts.
[she pulls another hair]
Billy Tripley : Come on! Are you gonna to pull out every hair on my head?
M.E. Melinda Warner : We have to make sure to get one with the root attached. Ten hairs is standard procedure.
[pulls another hair]
Billy Tripley : Look, this is police brutality.
Elliot Stabler : Trust me, when you're being brutalized by me, you'll know it.
Billy Tripley : You just threatened me.
[to Dr. Warner]
Billy Tripley : Did you hear him threaten me?
M.E. Melinda Warner : Nope.
[prepares to take an oral swab]
M.E. Melinda Warner : Open wide. And if you bite me, I'll hurt you.

Elliot Stabler : [to JJ] What are you so angry about?
J.J. Ostilow : Stuff.
Elliot Stabler : What kind of stuff?
J.J. Ostilow : Life is really stressful, you know?
Elliot Stabler : I know mine is. I deal with dirtbags every day. Like yesterday, there was this case. These four guys gang-raped this sweet Haitian woman.
Jeremy Ostilow : Detective!
Elliot Stabler : You want to hear the details?
Jeremy Ostilow : I really don't think this appropriate...
Elliot Stabler : About how they beat her up and they degraded her? And when she begged for mercy, they defecated on her.
Jeremy Ostilow : This is a child you're talking to.
Elliot Stabler : Read what he wrote. If he wants to act like an adult predator, I'll talk to him like one!
[to JJ]
Elliot Stabler : You really want to grow up to be like one of those perverts, huh?
J.J. Ostilow : Why wait?
-
Elliot Stabler : [as he reads the comments JJ wrote] "Screw her innocence and then slice her up." This is about your sister Lisette?
J.J. Ostilow : No.
Elliot Stabler : You're telling me there's another 5-year-old out there who pisses you off that much? Believe me, I know what a pain little sisters can be. Just tell me what she did.
J.J. Ostilow : She melted my favorite CD in her Easy-Bake Oven.
Elliot Stabler : That sucks. What did you do?
J.J. Ostilow : Nothing. I never do anything. When someone makes me mad, I just imagine hurting them. That makes me feel better.
Elliot Stabler : So it's like a release valve? You think about it, but don't actually do it.
J.J. Ostilow : That's what I said, moron.
-
Billy Tripley : I would kill myself before I did anything that'd hurt a child.
Elliot Stabler : Pedophiles never think they're hurting 'em. You're just loving them, right?
Billy Tripley : Yes, but not in the sick way you're thinking. I don't think that way. There's nothing more natural and more beautiful than loving a child.
Elliot Stabler : You're sick.
-
Jeremy Ostilow : [to Stabler about JJ] He's 12 years old, for Pete's sake. Didn't you pull pranks at that age?
Elliot Stabler : Pranks, yeah, but I never threatened to kill any cops or say I wanted to...
[reads what JJ wrote on the Internet]
Elliot Stabler : "Rip off her clothes, slashing as I defile her."
[to JJ]
Elliot Stabler : That's what you'd like to do?
Jeremy Ostilow : Trust me. No more horror movies or websites.
J.J. Ostilow : Don't blame them. They didn't make me do this.
Elliot Stabler : Then who did?
Jeremy Ostilow : Please. He was just trying to impress other kids on the Internet.
Jeremy Ostilow : Your son had hardcore slasher fans freaking out. They asked him repeatedly, "Are you joking?" They thought you were serious, and I got to tell you, JJ, I still do.
Jeremy Ostilow : Then you're an idiot.
J.J. Ostilow : Give it up, Detective. My parents would die before they'd let anything bad happen to me.
-
Elliot Stabler : [about Clark] They don't call her the hanging judge for nothing.
Judge Mary Clark : Who? Who called me that?
Elliot Stabler : No one.
-
Elliot Stabler : JJ's got all the classic signs of being molested.
Donald Cragen : Question is, by whom?
Detective John Munch : Well, we canvassed his school, he's not in any extracurricular activities, so I doubt it was a teacher.
Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : No older friends anyone knows about.
Detective John Munch : No friends at all.
Donald Cragen : That leaves the parents.
Elliot Stabler : Dad was running interference all through the interview.
Donald Cragen : Well, it's gonna be hard for JJ to talk about abuse if his abuser is sitting right there.
Olivia Benson : I think the mother knows about it. I got the feeling that she was covering something up. Aside from her worrying about what the neighbors thought, this woman has major guilt issues.
Donald Cragen : We gotta get JJ to open up.
Elliot Stabler : We might have trouble gaining his trust. I put him through the wringer a little bit there.
-
Billy Tripley : [to his lawyer] Tell them I would never hurt a child.
Elliot Stabler : We're standing right here. Tell us yourself.
Chauncey Zeirko : What's it going to take to make this go away?
Olivia Benson : You mean a dollar amount? I'm afraid Billy can't buy his way out of this one. Not this time.
