Amanda Rollins : Your name's Carisi and you're pulling an Irish goodbye?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I didn't want anybody to make a fuss or anything, so...
Amanda Rollins : Mission accomplished. How you feeling?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I'm nervous. Had to turn in my gun today. This... this whole thing is a big leap. It's... it's risky, but if I don't make this move now, I'm...
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I hear you. Hey, uh, before you leave me, one last drink?

Olivia Benson : Counselor, you're cutting it close here. Are we doing this or not?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, not tonight. Flag on the play.
Odafin Tutuola : I called it.
Olivia Benson : Carisi, what the hell is going on?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : All I know is word came down from the eighth floor to slow things down.

Vanessa Hadid : Sir Tobias Moore? Mr. Carisi's first day, my first month. You couldn't bring us a subway groper?
William Dodds : Welcome to the big top, counselors.
Vanessa Hadid : This story hasn't leaked yet?
William Dodds : The longer we wait...
Vanessa Hadid : The girl, she's credible?
Olivia Benson : Very. Her name is Pilar Reyes. She's 20, naïve. She came up from Venezuela. She disclosed immediately after she was assaulted.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No witnesses?
Olivia Benson : No, he made sure that the office was empty.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : So not his first audition?
Olivia Benson : Unlikely, but we're doing due diligence.
William Dodds : We need warrants for the screen tests, his couch, his whole office.
Vanessa Hadid : Hang on. We do that and he's gonna lawyer up faster than you can say DSK. Work the case a little more. Vet Pilar.
Olivia Benson : She's not making this up, counselor.
Vanessa Hadid : I didn't say she was, but he will. Mr. Carisi will be the riding ADA on this. Keep him involved every step of the way.

Dominick Carisi Jr. : I know I'm a long way from doing a trial, but... I'm not gonna lie. It's not like I didn't practice Barba's summations in front of a mirror.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : What are you guys doing here?
Amanda Rollins : It's your first arraignment. We wouldn't miss it.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, spoiler alert. Sir Toby's gonna get bail, and then it's gonna be a motion a day for ten months.
Olivia Benson : Look, these guys believe that they can't be held accountable, but... you need to take him down.

Vanessa Hadid : You're telling me your friends at NYPD didn't give you notice? Tell me why I shouldn't fire you right now.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Ms. Hadid, I'm between a rock and a hard place here. They know you're my boss. They kept me in the dark as much as they did you.
Vanessa Hadid : The main reason I hired you was because you have a history with these people.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I do, and all due respect, they didn't feel the office was serious about pursuing Sir Toby.
Vanessa Hadid : [sardonic chuckle] This does not end well.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : For what it's worth, they have a case.
Vanessa Hadid : Do they?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : There's a pattern to his assaults. Late night auditions in his office and hotel rooms. At least a dozen women that we know of.
Vanessa Hadid : A dozen? Within the statute of limitations? In our jurisdiction? How many do they really have?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : They have one. For now. But she's solid.
Vanessa Hadid : [her phone buzzes] Tell me her name isn't Gemma Brooks.
-
Odafin Tutuola : What's up, Carisi? She fired you already?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I'm hanging on by a thread.
William Dodds : [his phone buzzes] Oh, we all are. And that's the commissioner. Excuse me.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Toby is cold. He taped that statement in the same room he did Pilar.
Amanda Rollins : Well, just another way to punk us.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : [noticing something] Or maybe he finally screwed up. Rollins, you got Pilar's audition?
Amanda Rollins : Yeah.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Can you throw it up there, please?
[she does so]
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Son of a bitch. You notice anything?
Amanda Rollins : [spotting it] Different couch. Pillows. Lamp.
Olivia Benson : He was afraid that we were gonna get a warrant, so he swapped them out.
Odafin Tutuola : When'd he have time to do that?
