RE: Detective Stabler

I think you should stop being so hard on Detective Stabler. If you'd only talk to him instead of yelling at him, you'd learn that he's actually quite pleasant to spend time with. Lieutenant Sinclair and I have no harbored aggrievances with him, and there's really no reason any of you should, either.

Agent Starling, I believe you mentioned something about him being "a dick" to you? If he came off as abrasive, it's probably because he's going through some issues. I'm not one for psychology, but you should try talking to him about his feelings.

Nice of you to try to help, or whatever it is you're trying to do, but I don't need anyone defending me.

I'm just trying to help. You're a nice guy, and you deserve some respect.

Thanks.

I still don't need help, though.

But it could work.

I can take care of myself, Temperance, thank you.

I'm just trying to help.

You said that already.

We're not just defending you for your benefit, Detective.

Do you have any idea how loud it gets in here with your bitching? Especially when Starling starts yelling.

It's annoying.

Oh, now I see how it is. You just want some peace and quiet.

You think I don't want that?

So do something about it.

Come on, it's not all my fault.

I've got no problem just staying away from them, but you know how hard that is.

Whatever happens, it'd better happen soon.

I only yell when he does, so talk to him about it.

You're new, so I'll cut you some slack. Lulu and I have been here for a long time. A very long time. We've seen 'em come and go, and trust me when I say that Stabler had his damn chance to be nice to us. In fact, he was a pretty cool guy at first, but then she showed up.

Who's "she?"

Are you kidding me?

Why would I kid about something like that?

Wow, you really are new.

She would be one Detective Olivia Benson.

Of course I'm new.

Oh, you mean Liv? We talked about her last night. I know the story, but why would her showing up warrant a change in his demeanor?

I thought you said you talked about her.

A little slow on the uptake, aren't we?

We did.

I don't—

I understand that he's slightly upset about the current situation, but I can't see any viable reason why he'd change so much just because of it.

Just as Clarice said, he's already had his chance.

That's all I'm going to say on the matter from this point on. I don't care what happens to him anymore.

But he's a nice guy. You obviously didn't give him enough of a chance.

I'm not going to discuss this any further, Temperance. Don't expect me to reply to you anymore.

If you can't see what he really is, then you're no more worth my time than he is.

Feelings?

The only feelings he's got are anger and ignorance.

Ignorance isn't a feeling.

Why won't anyone try to come to some sort of agreement? A truce, if you will?

He's not worth it, especially since he keeps making fun of me!

Well, you are rather strange-looking. Your skin is a very odd color, and you can't seem to explain that stone artifact on your head.

It's a HELMET, alright?
