Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : What would this kind of setting do to Mr. Hallenbeck?

  Dr. Emil Skoda : Sixty-year-old man in diapers, chained to his bed, with no privacy, no dignity, nobody with time to take care of him? What do you think?

  Jack McCoy : And if he's found not guilty by reason of insanity?

  Dr. Emil Skoda : Then the options improve. Better facilities, more personnel. More humane all around.

  Jack McCoy : Prison wards aren't deliberately inhumane.

  Dr. Emil Skoda : I'm not blaming the Department of Correction. Things are just marginally better on the outside. But 20 years from now, when the baby boomers reach their golden years... We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. Good luck.

  Adam Schiff : Thanks for the editorial. Now how about a solution?

  Dr. Emil Skoda : Good luck.

• A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : Lost her father twice. Lousy deal all around.

  Jack McCoy : The law went as far as it could. Lisa Hallenbeck wanted all or nothing.

  Adam Schiff : One day we might all wish we had a kid like that.
