Law & Order: SVU
Thursdays 9:00 PM on NBCLaw & Order: SVU Season 23 Episode 9: "People Vs. Richard Wheatley" Quotes
Stabler: He tried to run my partner's car off the road.
Barba: Objection.
Judge: Sustained. Jury will disregard. Detective Stabler, you have been warned. Answer only the questions you have been asked.
Stabler: He did it just like he killed his father and my wife and he tried to kill his ex-wife.
Barba: Your Honor, do we let him keep going on until he blames my client for the kidnapping of the Lindenberg baby?
Judge: Final warning, Detective Stabler. One more word and I'm holding you in contempt.
Stabler: How much is Wheatley paying you, Judge?
Olivia: Whatever happened between you and Angela, Wheatley knows, which means Barba knows and is going to use it.
Elliot: He doesn't know anything. He's riling Barba up and Barba's riling you up.
Olivia: I need to know what happened.
Elliot: It's none of your business. And it's none of the court's business. The only real question here is why are you really asking?
Olivia: Because I want to trust you.
Elliot: What does that mean? Liv, come on, what does that mean?
Olivia: I understand that you have been working through a mountain of grief and I have tried to be there for you. But this is a one-way street. You have never once asked how I've been since the last time we saw each other.
Barba: Given that Isaak Becker's head was smashed into a fence and his shoulder was dislocated, would you say that Elliot Stabler used excessive force?
Bell: We had reason to believe Becker was armed, so no.
Barba: But he wasn't armed. By the way, isn't your wife currently suing the NYPD for using excessive force against your nephew?
Carisi: Objection. Relevance?
Barba: I'm not sure there is any. I just appreciated the irony.
Barba: I know you're convinced that Wheatley is guilty.
Olivia: I am.
Barba: That does not give you the right to frame him.
Barba: I'm sorry for your loss.
Elliot: Are you? Then why are you defending the man who killed my wife?
Richie: I don't need protective custody. No one knows I"m gonna testify.
Fin: We have to tell the defense before trial.
Richie: Right. So you have to tell my dad.
Fin: If that's a problem, better say so now.
Richie: It's not. After what he did to me, to my grandfather, he's dead to me.
Wheatley: I've done well with self-made men. They work hard, hustle twice as hard. Only problem is, they come with a chip. What's yours?
Barba: I don't suffer fools, especially as clients. Why don't you tell me your side?
Elliot: Last 9 months have been a blur. Til Wheatley goes to trial, there's no closure.
Olivia: Carisi said Wheatley is out of postponements. Clock is ticking.
Elliot: Make it tick faster.
Olivia: How are you all doing?
Kathleen: We're all right.
Eli: And I'm working through things.
Olivia: Good. *to Elliot* You shaved! It's nice to see your face.
