Dr. Emil Skoda
- Jack McCoy: We're not gonna turn this into blaming the victim, are we?
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Think back to physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. From what I can gather from police reports, Carrie Gunderson was an intolerant, controlling personality, especially where men were concerned.
- Serena Southerlyn: Yeah, she insisted her old boyfriend buy new sheets after two dates.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Exactly. She demanded that the world be seen through her particular window.
- Jack McCoy: And Myers didn't like the view.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Most men wouldn't. The male of the species tends not to care whether he drinks his beer out of glass or a can.
- Serena Southerlyn: Oh, come on.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Okay, all right. That's a trivial example, but you got to admit the American male has been...
- Serena Southerlyn: If you say "castrated", I'm leaving.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Case in point. Male opinions can't be expressed. Their visceral behavior is no longer tolerated.
- Jack McCoy: [Serena gives him a weird stare] Don't look at me.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Look around you, Serena. Society is telling men that they're in desperate need of remedy.
- Serena Southerlyn: I'm sorry, are you saying this was one small stab for man, one giant slice for mankind? That is absurd.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: What I really am saying is that it was a giant stab for Myers. He called Carrie Gunderson a pig. He also called dear old mom a pig.
- Jack McCoy: And it was really the latter he wanted on the end of his knife.
