[last lines]
Dean Reynolds : Stop it, you're hurting me!
Elliot Stabler : Take some Aptril. That'll make you feel better.
-
Dean Reynolds : What's this, a hostile takeover?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Funny man! Are you Dean Reynolds, Chief Executive Officer of Tauscher-Leto?
Dean Reynolds : I am, and you are?
Detective Elliot Stabler : The police. This is Alexandra Cabot of the D.A.'s office.
Dean Reynolds : What are you doing here?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Uh, this memo proves a direct marketing scheme wherein Aptril would be mailed directly to patients' homes. Do you recognize your signature Mr. Reynolds?
Dean Reynolds : Where'd you get that?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : This approves of giving doctors off-patent meds free of charge in exchange for their patient lists. Is that your signature?
Dean Reynolds : I don't have to listen to this. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll resume later!
ADA Alexandra Cabot : And this third memo threatens Tauscher-Leto employees with breach of contract lawsuits if they talk to either the press or law enforcement about the Aptril direct mailing scheme. Is that your signature?

Detective Olivia Benson : [to Stabler] One of your kids got into serious trouble, what would you do?
Elliot Stabler : I don't know.
Detective Olivia Benson : Yeah, you do. You'd hire the best lawyer that you could and you'd tell them to keep their mouth shut.

ADA Alexandra Cabot : What were you thinking, turning this case over to Barry Moredock?
Dr. George Huang : I'm concerned about Joe Blaine. I knew Moredock would share my concerns.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : So it wasn't enough you had to call him in, you also handed him his defense?
Dr. George Huang : I'm not against the use of psychiatric drugs to treat children, I just don't think they should be used as an instrument of school policy.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Then publish an article. You had no business interfering in my case!
Dr. George Huang : Thousands of children are being forced to take powerful drugs without psychiatric supervision. Before you crucify Joe Blaine, maybe you should hear what your detectives found out.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : What, now you're working on Joe Blaine's defense too?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Alex... you weren't there, this kid is seriously troubled.
Detective Olivia Benson : We spoke to his school counselor. She said that Joe was exceptionally creative, yet extremely disruptive. They suggested: counseling, medication - but, Joe's mother always resisted.
Detective Elliot Stabler : She said he was special, needed special treatment - so in the end the school insisted that he go see their shrink.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : So that's who prescribed Joe the Aptril?
Detective Elliot Stabler : Apparently not. Mom wanted a second opinion, so they went to go see a Dr. Engels.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : All right. Find out when Dr. Engels started Joe on the Aptril. Then I can decide whether I should take this defense as seriously as Dr. Huang seems to.

John Munch : ER faxed it over, Joe Blaine's tox screen, negative for narcotics and alcohol - but not for phenyloxypropilamine.
Detective Olivia Benson : Aptril.
John Munch : That's the baby.
Detective Elliot Stabler : How recently did he take it?
John Munch : Well, based on the plasma concentration M.E. says he took a pill about 24 hours before the shooting.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : But if a doctor didn't prescribe Aptril, then how did Joe get it? I mean a 13-year-old kid can't just buy it over the counter.
Odafin Tutuola : Might've got it from school.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : What do you mean?
Detective Olivia Benson : Well, you got millions of kids taking psychiatric meds - school nurse stations have more drugs than some hospitals.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : They're not handed out like candy?
Odafin Tutuola : Good as!
Detective Elliot Stabler : And the drugs are being traded, I've heard of some college students snorting Ritalin - just to help 'em get through exams.
Odafin Tutuola : Or to get a good buzz, and too stupid to know they're burnin' their own brain out.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Well, I know one person I could ask.

Detective Olivia Benson : Joe, why did you shoot Luke and Tyrell?
[sets out pictures of the victims on the table]
Joe Blaine : [looking at pictures] I don't know them.
Detective Olivia Benson : You don't know them? You told us that you went to school with them.
Joe Blaine : No, I didn't.
Detective Olivia Benson : Joe. Joe, look at me.
[Joe looks up and then looks back down]
Detective Olivia Benson : You're in serious trouble here, and you need to help yourself.
Joe Blaine : I don't want to.
Detective Elliot Stabler : [laying a drawing on the table] Did you draw this?
Joe Blaine : Where's my pen? I want my pen!
Detective Elliot Stabler : We'll get you one. I know you drew that now did you also do this?
Joe Blaine : Didn't draw that. Didn't draw that!
Detective Olivia Benson : [points to masked figure in the drawing] Joe, who's this? Who's this person here?
Joe Blaine : [whispering] Zoltar.
Detective Olivia Benson : Who's Zoltar?
Joe Blaine : [begins slapping himself and banging his head on the table] No! I won't! Stop! Stop, I won't!
Joe Blaine : [after Stabler tries to calm him] Zoltars gonna kill you! He's gonna kill you!
[Stabler picks him up out of his chair]
Joe Blaine : Get off! He's gonna kill you! Zoltar's gonna kill you!
