Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [to Mavis about Frank]  How old were you when he and Catherine got married?

  Mavis Summers : Twelve.

  Olivia Benson : Twelve. A lot of girls that age dream of becoming actresses. Your sister was becoming a star.

  Mavis Summers : I never liked attention.

  Olivia Benson : Like the attention he gave Rose or Chelsea? Mavis, did Frank notice you when you were that age?

  Mavis Summers : It wouldn't matter if he did. He's Frank Maddox. He gets away with everything.

  Olivia Benson : And he doesn't have to. I know that you love Chelsea and I know that you want to protect her, and you can In court on the stand.

  Mavis Summers : So he and his lawyers can call me crazy? Ridicule me? No. It's Frank Maddox's world. I learned that a long time ago. We all just live in it.

  Olivia Benson : It doesn't have to be that way for Chelsea.

• Mavis Summers : That's Frank's M.O. He always gets what he wants because everything is for sale.

  Olivia Benson : Always? What do you mean, "always"?

  Mavis Summers : It doesn't matter. He's got talent, connections, success. People bend the rules when it comes to Frank. They always have.

  [to Catherine] 

  Mavis Summers : You never should have put Chelsea through this.

  Catherine Summers : So this is my fault? What about what I've been through?

  Mavis Summers : You married him. He made you a star. You actually believe that people can think that you didn't know what kind of man he is?
