  A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : Are you alleging his semen beamed into her vagina?

• A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : If it was anybody else, but a mentally deranged homeless guy?

  Jack McCoy : A woman on Madison Avenue had a brick shoved through her skull by a homeless guy. Last year, two people were pushed in front of a subway train by homeless guys.

  A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : If your hippie friends could hear you now.

  Jack McCoy : My hippie friends ride the subway to work. I don't want them sharing a platform with Harvey Bower.

  A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : If you look at Bower's record, you can't help but get the feeling, if someone had been on the ball, Bower would've gotten the help he needs, and Karen Brewster would still be alive.

  Jack McCoy : You're right. The system failed them both, miserably. And now we're left to clean up the mess, permanently.
