Christopher Meloni: Detective Elliot Stabler

Quotes 

• Detective Elliot Stabler : [about Ibogaine]  It can cure heroin addiction in 24 hours and it's illegal.

  Dr. George Huang : Because the patent expired, no drug company is gonna make a profit off it. No one will pay for lbogaine to go through FDA trials.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : The pharmaceutical industry can make more money treating addicts with less effective drugs. What a bunch of crap.

• Martin Gold : Oh, Detective, every child that comes through my door lies. They lie until they're tired of getting caught, or until it's too late, and they're out of the program. They come from homes and from family histories that compel them to use deception and untruths to survive.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, how about your family history? I mean, what's going on in your head that you would bang Enzo's girlfriend and then convince her to screw strangers that look like Daddy?

• Dr. George Huang : Gold gets off on making kids do things that will humiliate them. Their self-esteem plummets and they need him even more.

  Olivia Benson : A.J. was so enmeshed with him that she actually registered at that motel with his name.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : He could ask those kids to jump off the Empire State Building and they'd race each other to the top.

  Dr. George Huang : We've got to shut him down before more bodies hit the pavement.

• Dr. George Huang : There are two kinds of parents. Those who will do anything for their children and those who will pay any amount to have someone else do it for them. I read Enzo's file. His parents are art dealers. They spend most of their time in Europe. They paid more than $1 million to park Enzo at ASP.

  Olivia Benson : What do we do?

  Dr. George Huang : Send him to rehab. It's methadone now or it's back to heroin.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : If I were in his shoes, I'd probably get high, too.

  Dr. George Huang : He doesn't want to get high. He wants to avoid the pain of withdrawal. If he doesn't make it through rehab, he'll just go back to heroin and keep using it until it kills him.

• Richard Biggs : [about the murder victim]  Come on. Kids today are old before their time.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, well, this one's staying young forever.

• Detective Elliot Stabler : So when you have the impulse to rape one of your patients, why the hell fight it?

• Dr. George Huang : [to Martin Gold]  What are you doing here?

  Martin Gold : I've come to take Enzo back to ASP.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : You're not taking that boy anywhere.

  Martin Gold : When Enzo's parents enrolled him, they made me his legal guardian. And as his guardian, I know what's best for him.

  Dr. George Huang : What's best for him is real rehab, not your narcissistic schemes.

  Martin Gold : Don't worry, Dr. Huang. He'll get all the TLC he needs.
