Quotes
-
Detective Olivia Benson : Before you had kids, you ever worry what they'd be like?
Detective Elliot Stabler : All the time, I still do.
Detective Olivia Benson : At least you and Kathy know what you're passing on. Half my genes are drunk and the other half are violent and cruel.
[she walks away]
Detective Elliot Stabler : And look how great you turned out. It's not all about the genes, Liv. All you can do is love your kids.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Elliot] How's Dickie?
Detective Elliot Stabler : A handful. He's demanding cookie dough ice cream and "Jackass" 24-7. He reminds me so much of me, it's scary.
Detective Olivia Benson : Didn't know you were a "Jackass" fan.
Detective Elliot Stabler : I mean getting what I want. According to Kathy, it's not one of my more endearing qualities.
-
Det. John Munch : Deacon killed Jeffrey Ronsen?
Detective Olivia Benson : It wasn't shame that drove him to suicide, it was guilt. My victim is my perp.
-
Donald Cragen : [to Olivia] You want a cup of coffee?
Detective Olivia Benson : Yeah, and two eggs over easy, some hash browns and toast.
[Cragen gives her a look]
Detective Olivia Benson : Coffee's fine.
-
Donald Cragen : [to Dr. Huang] Then tell me this, Doc. Why didn't Deacon admit to Olivia that Biggs molested him?
Dr. George Huang : When you've been lying to everyone for 25 years, the lie becomes like a cancer, it just keeps spreading until it's out of control.
Detective Olivia Benson : By now, it's bigger than he is.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Lucas Biggs] Somebody murdered Deacon Brinn. Somebody who knew that you abused him.
Lucas Biggs : I never abused Deacon or any of the boys. I loved them.
Detective Olivia Benson : Your love ruined their lives.
Lucas Biggs : I didn't do anything wrong.
Detective Olivia Benson : Come on, Lucas. You know that's not true.
Lucas Biggs : What did I do wrong? I was born with these feelings. I don't know why I have them. They were always there. It wasn't exactly like I had a choice.
Detective Olivia Benson : Neither did the 117 boys you molested.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Avery Shaw] You could've gone to anybody in this precinct with what you knew. Why me?
Avery Shaw : I read about you in the papers about how you never sleep when you're on a case, about how your whole life is about helping kids.
Detective Olivia Benson : Same with my partner, same with any of my colleagues. You singled me out, you stalked me for weeks. Why?
Avery Shaw : There was just something about you. I knew you would understand. You and me, we're so alike.
Detective Olivia Benson : No, we're not alike. You killed a man.
Avery Shaw : So have you.
Detective Olivia Benson : I didn't have a choice.
Avery Shaw : Neither did I.
