- Gordon Montlieff: That... that girl and I were just talking.
- Amanda Rollins: About sex with a 14-year old.
- Gordon Montlieff: No, I saw her, she's... she's not 14!
- Amanda Rollins: That doesn't matter. You thought she was.
- Gordon Montlieff: Wait, so... so I am arrested for thinking?
- Minonna Efron: There is not one shred of forensic evidence of criminal behavior.
- A.D.A. Rafael Barba: A grenade with the pin pulled has not blown up yet, but it's still a danger to those around it.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: [about Amaro] He's a ray of sunshine.
- Olivia Benson: Look, he's dealing with some stuff right now.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: Yeah, we all are. That's why we go to work to get out of our own heads.
- Olivia Benson: [to Wilkes] Do you think it's a game to torture young boys, huh? You like to be in control? Well, guess what, that game's over. New game, my rules, not yours.
- Olivia Benson: [to Murphy] I've been here for 15 years and you've been here for two minutes and you're pulling me out of an interrogation?
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: You weren't asking him questions. You were yelling at him. You do know the goal is to align yourself with the suspect, not to judge him?
- Olivia Benson: Yeah.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: Then what the hell was that? Anger at Lewis?
- Olivia Benson: I got the message and by the way, I have a shrink.
- Nick Amaro: Gordon Montlieff?
- Gordon Montlieff: Can I help you?
- Nick Amaro: NYPD.
- Gordon Montlieff: All payroll inquiries must be submitted by fax or regular mail.
- Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: It's not about the payroll.
- Gordon Montlieff: Okay, well, then my supervisor can...
- Nick Amaro: I don't think you want your supervisor involved.
- Amanda Rollins: We were getting somewhere.
- Nick Amaro: Did what you wanna, but that stuff I said made me sick.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: That's called doing your job, okay?
- Nick Amaro: Why are we talking to this guy? Just charge him and lock him up.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: This squad needs to evolve. Little cases make big cases.
- Lieutenant Declan Murphy: [to Dr. Huang about Wilkes] Will he act on these impulses?
- Dr. George Huang: Well, here's another analogy: some people just talk about suicide, but we worry about them when they go out and they buy a gun.
- Minonna Efron: [to the jury] I'd like you to ask yourselves, have you ever had thoughts you knew you would never act on? I know I have. I'm sure the D.A. has. Cheating on your spouse? Killing your boss, maybe an in-law? Think about it. Better yet, don't think about it. Don't. Otherwise you'll be where Mr. Wilkes is now.
- Maria Grazie: Can we take it one step at the time?
- Nick Amaro: It's 3000 miles away! That's not one step.
- Nick Amaro: [to Maria] So we'll keep talking, huh?
- Maria Grazie: Actually, Nick, um, I told them I'm gonna take the job. They needed an answer right away and it's too good an offer.
- Nick Amaro: Hey, just like that, you're gonna take my daughter out of my life?
- Maria Grazie: No, you can come out and live nearby.
- Nick Amaro: Yeah, and do what? Check I.D's at a movie studio gate? What, you want me to leave my mother, my son? Hey, you want me to fight? I could fight you. Want me to take you to court? Is that what...
- Maria Grazie: Nick, I care about you and I can see that you're under a lot of pressure...
- Nick Amaro: No, hey, don't, don't do that.
- Maria Grazie: You know what? If you take this to court, you're gonna force me to bring up things that you don't want on record. So for your sake and for Zara's, you better let this go.
- Minonna Efron: My client has a fantasy life, but the D. A. is using his own overactive imagination to inflame the situation. There is not one shred of forensic evidence of criminal behavior.
- A.D.A. Rafael Barba: A grenade with the pin pulled hasn't blown up yet, but it's still a danger to those around it.
- Arraignment Judge V. Hayes: I understand. I'm setting bail at $5 million cash.
- Minonna Efron: Your honor, that amount is punitive...
- Arraignment Judge V. Hayes: [bangs gavel] Next case.
