Mariska Hargitay: Sergeant Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : Carisi, remind me why you're SVU, again?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : I worked Homicide, couple years. It's it's the women who get you. I mean, they're dead, but their hair's clean, they're nicely dressed, they're made up. And that means their husbands or their boyfriends did it. It's like they knew. They knew it was coming. They don't even look surprised.

• Olivia Benson : Come on, guys. I don't want to hear that women lie and that Shakir is a hero and he never could have done such a thing. This is SVU and we take disclosures seriously.

• Olivia Benson : [about Orion Bauer]  Look, he's gotta be senile or crazy or both.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I feel bad for Cordelia. Her father's a narcissist, she fell for another one. She never had a chance.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : [about Cordelia and Shakir]  Gotta be a tough conversation.

  Amanda Rollins : I know, right? Where to begin?

  Olivia Benson : One of them is saying, "Let's start over" and the other one is saying, "It's too late."
