Quotes

add »
Elliot Stabler (to Benson as she arrives on the scene in the middle of the night): Morning, Sunshine. (edit)
Odafin Tutuola: It's different for black men. They go out, have sex with other men, then come home, have sex with their woman, and pretend they're straight. (Benson, Cragen, and Stabler look at him) Don't look at me, I just know stuff. (edit)
DuShawn McGovern: I have relationships with woman and sex with men.
Fin Tutuola: Newsflash: That means you're gay. (edit)
M.E. Warner: Condoms are effective, not perfect. (edit)
Elliot Stabler: (to Benson) No wonder you and Jeff didn't have any chemistry, he was gay. (edit)
