Tamara Tunie: ME Dr. Melinda Warner

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [to Dr. Warner after Stevie Harris' death]  Circumstances undetermined? All that heroin in his blood? The guy's not exactly an amateur. Somebody gave him a hot shot.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Or he gave it to himself. What's undetermined, Detective is whether it's a homicide or a suicide. It's a cuppi: pending police investigation.

  Olivia Benson : Come on, Melinda.

  Nick Amaro : See, that's why the M.E.'s office is separate from the police. So they don't jump to our conclusions.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Don't play me, Amaro.

  Nick Amaro : Never.

• Olivia Benson : [to Dr. Warner]  Look, Melinda, it's not our call. There's someone that we really like for this and we need cause to bring him in.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : I can't get you there. Your scenario works. Here's another one: you saw the beating he took at the club. He was concussed, got woozy, couldn't find a vein. Fielder's choice.

  Olivia Benson : So if it could go both ways. Then give us a break.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Come on, Olivia. You know better.
