Mariska Hargitay: Detective Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : You've got an answer for everything, don't you. I'm not buying your "loving father" act. Tommy's terrified of you.

  Dan Hoffman : My son is everything to me, I would die for my son.

  Olivia Benson : Tommy almost died for you. You killed Jill and then you left him alone in that apartment. And had firefighters not responded so fast, you'd be burying him along with your dead wife.

  Dan Hoffman : You wouldn't dare talk to me like that if you didn't have that badge and gun.

• ADA Alexandra Cabot : Dan Hoffman's attorney called. She's threatening to sue for the emotional distress of withholding information on Tommy's whereabouts.

  Elliot Stabler : Distress, my ass. Hoffman didn't even file a missing persons report and he's trying to jack us up?

  Olivia Benson : We only delayed notification by a couple of hours.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : That's not the point. You were playing fast and loose, and you got caught.
