- Cyrus Lupo: The M.E. never did an autopsy on the baby. Once they get a diagnosis from the doctor, it's rubber stamp time. The kid was cremated.
- Anita Van Buren: "The Life System" by Ellison Conway. "The bestselling guide to reclaiming your human destiny". How did I get through life without reading this?
- Cyrus Lupo: Well, I couldn't get through it without aspirin, but there's no mention of detoxing babies.
- Anita Van Buren: Well, could the Camerons have imagined the whole thing?
- Kevin Bernard: [handing her a report] They'd have a hell of an imagination. Sofia's notes. She alleges that there was a conspiracy against them by Systemotics. There's a list there of sabotaged gallery openings, lost friendships, people following them.
- Anita Van Buren: People who write stuff like this usually line their hats with aluminum foil.
- Kevin Bernard: And sometimes commit suicide.
- Cyrus Lupo: And sometimes they're right and nobody believes 'em.
- Cyrus Lupo: Dr. Landry, you're under arrest.
- Dr. Martha Landry: Arrest? For what?
- Cyrus Lupo: Let's start with steaming a kid like a hot dog and work from there.
- Michael Cutter: What's so funny?
- Jack McCoy: You're having your head handed to you by a pro.
- Michael Cutter: We put a gun in Bradley's hand that proved his wife was ready to leave him.
- Jack McCoy: Perception trumps facts. You need to get that witness back on the stand.
- Connie Rubirosa: But she's a defense witness.
- Jack McCoy: Who ran off the stand in fear. That hurts you more with the jury than anything she can say. When your car is skidding out of control, steer into the skid.
- Kevin Bernard: [at the crime scene] Ugh. Looks like a contact wound. A lot of women's suicide with a gun?
- [seeing Lupo's look]
- Kevin Bernard: I don't know. I'm just asking.
- Cyrus Lupo: There's no hard and fast rules.
- Kevin Bernard: I always thought with women, it was either pills or gas. You see a note?
- Cyrus Lupo: No, but maybe she had nothing to say.
- [finding the vic's cell phone]
- Cyrus Lupo: Messages and missed calls. Somebody was already missing her. Bradley and mom.
- Kevin Bernard: [searching the back seat] Hey, look at this. What's the rule on bringing cupcakes to a suicide?
- Kevin Bernard: A writer who doesn't leave a suicide note.
- Cyrus Lupo: On the other hand, three chapters in five years? It'd make me suicidal.
- Michael Cutter: Conway should never have been allowed to testify in the first place. Now it's impossible to unring the bell.
- Jack McCoy: That's what summations are for.
- Michael Cutter: Sure. I just have to convince the jury Systemotics is no more dangerous than the neighborhood glee club.
- Jack McCoy: This day and age, people are worried. People are scared of bogeymen. You're not going to score points pretending those fears don't exist.
