Tucker: I really don't understand this, Stephen and Megan.

Hotchner: What's to understand, Ed?

Tucker: You,ve both been retired for nearly 15 years.

Hotchner: Partners is a Man Down.

Rossi: We're offering to help.

Tucker: You've written... how many books?

Rossi: World tours. Speaking engagements. Big payday private consultations. You've made quite a name for yourself.

Tucker: Well, this is getting boring.

Hotchner: You know, you won't be in charge.

Tucker: Lieutenant Benson's the S. A. C. And I'll be seeking his endorsement.

Rossi: I'm not looking for anyone's permission here.

Tucker: So you're coming in in a subordinate position.

Hotchner: Is that a question?

Tucker: The question is, why?

Rossi: To help.

Tucker: A completely selfless act. Is that so hard to believe?

Hotchner: Yes.

Rossi: We missed you too, Ed.

Tucker: You'll both meet the rest of SVU Detectives tomorrow.
