Quotes 

• Det. Olivia Benson : Once the fingerprint came back we apprehended the defendant outside of his home. I advised him of his Miranda rights, detectives Stabler and Tutuola questioned him, with his attorney present, and Carrie Huitt positively identified him as the man who had raped her the night before.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Thank you, Detective.

  Michael Gardner : Why didn't you question me, Detective Benson?

  Det. Olivia Benson : I was preparing your victim for the lineup.

  Michael Gardner : Oh. So it wasn't because I punched you earlier that night?

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Objection! Relevance?

  Michael Gardner : I'm trying to ascertain whether or not the detective has a personal stake in my rest in prosecution.

  Judge Lois Preston : I'll allow it.

  Det. Olivia Benson : I have no personal stake in you.

  Michael Gardner : You're not mad at me? Or, uh, embarrassed that I eluded your grasp in front of your colleagues?

  Det. Olivia Benson : It's not uncommon for a perpetrator to lose control of himself. And I have certainly been hit much harder.

• Judge Lois Preston : [to Olivia about Bethany]  Detective Benson, I need you to take Ms. Taylor into custody for contempt.

  Det. Olivia Benson : Wait, Judge, there's got to be another...

  Judge Lois Preston : Either you do it, or I'll get someone else to.
