  Brian Cassidy : Nice to see you too, Olivia.

• Olivia Benson : Why are we treading lightly?

  Captain Donald Cragen : The harder we push, the faster they'll lawyer up.

• Olivia Benson : [Cragen doesn't want to pursue the investigation of a dead teenage hooker]  We gotta go after these guys. Maggie Murphy was only 16. She spent the entire night on her knees.

• Olivia Benson : You're worried about your image, Mr. Hannigan. Being with an escort? We're way past that.

• Olivia Benson : [about Delia Wilson]  I don't buy her Sunnybrook Farm act. Delia Wilson put a dead underage hooker in Clayton's bed as an opening salvo in her war against Bart Ganzel.

  Captain Donald Cragen : Liv, on paper, Delia Wilson teaches at her children's Sunday school, she drives them to soccer games. Now, if she is New York City's most notorious madam, she is putting up quite a front.

• Marvin Exley : [about Delia Wilson]  She has the goods on everyone you work for, everyone you will ever consider working for. You just don't know how deep this goes.

  Marvin Exley : Right, and you and your DA friend Haden. You're in this way over your head, sweetheart. I get paid top dollar for my legal advice. I'll give it to you for free. Walk away, little people.

  Nick Amaro : Now watch yourself, Counselor.

  Marvin Exley : Yeah, and you... you think your marriage is rocky now, kiddo? Just wait till your wife finds out about you and your star witness.

• Captain Donald Cragen : And the invite list?

  Olivia Benson : Oh, the Secret Service agents are being debriefed by Homeland Security. "If we have anything pertinent to your investigation, we'll let you know."

  Captain Donald Cragen : Anybody else?

  Nick Amaro : Goalie's back in Canada. The ballplayers are at the stadium, hung over in front of 50,000 fans.

  Amanda Rollins : I mean, they're rich and powerful. They know how to duck and cover.
