- Holden March: Hi, Holden March here. Look at them. Look at all those beautiful girls. All of them out on dates, having fun, flirting, kissing. It's Saturday afternoon and everybody is out and about with their lovers, except for me. It is not fair. Why do these girls only go out with jerks, while I, despite having so much to offer, am alone?
- Holden March: [about his neighbors] Listen to them, rutting like animals, taunting me with what I cannot have. All of you women who will not look at me or kiss me, giving yourselves to other men, giving sex to men who do not love you, who use your bodies. I would know how to take care of you, to worship you, but all of you beautiful girls, you throw yourselves at men who are mean and selfish. Sweating, grunting brutes. You reject me. A nice guy, smart, superb, clean. I dress well, I take care of myself. I would have taken care of you, been gentle, but those days are gone. You had your chance. You do not deserve me anymore. You do not deserve to live.
- Holden March: [to Rollins about Amaro] Look at him. Helpless, useless. You think he's better than me.
- Amanda Rollins: I don't. He's not.
- Holden March: Yes, you do.
- Amanda Rollins: I'm not a kid. These young girls, they don't get it. They don't see. They don't understand how special you are.
- Holden March: Are you tricking me?
- Amanda Rollins: No. Thoughtful guys, polite, the kind that will hold the door open for you. You don't have to be macho. These girls think you do. Women don't. There are things I want to tell you. Adult things. Not in front of other people. Private things, you know, just... just for you. Okay? I see the potential in you, Holden. I see how powerful you are.
- Olivia Benson: Dr. Lee. Noah looks so much better. His color's come back. He's smiling. Thank you.
- Dr. Celia Lee: He's stabilized for now. He's breathing on his own.
- Olivia Benson: Great. When can I take him home?
- Dr. Celia Lee: We'd like to keep him a few more days.
- Olivia Benson: Why?
- Dr. Celia Lee: Noah's birth mother was a drug addict?
- Olivia Benson: Yes. He hasn't had much prenatal or infant care, but we are all caught up. He's had his vaccinations, his weight...
- Dr. Celia Lee: You brought him into your home four months ago? Before that, multiple foster care homes?
- Olivia Benson: Yes, but since then, he's been thriving.
- Dr. Celia Lee: Not to alarm you, but his lung x-rays showed old rib fractures. It's not uncommon in foster care infants. Were the homes vetted?
- Olivia Benson: Yes, but the first two in a half months of his life, he was not in a stable environment, but Child Services said that there were no signs of abuse.
- Dr. Celia Lee: How hard did they look? We need to do a more thorough workup.
- Olivia Benson: What does that mean? He's had so many needles.
- Dr. Celia Lee: No needles. Skeletal X-ray, CT scan...
- Olivia Benson: But he's developing normally.
- Dr. Celia Lee: He has lung issues. He had it rough early on. Sometimes complications from trauma develop later, physiologically and neurologically. He can't tell us what he went through. I'd like to be proactive here.
- Amanda Rollins: [to Holden] I'll tell you the truth. Nick is the kind of boy that I used to like. Yeah, I fell for the quarterback, the guys with the big shoulders and the big smiles. They told me that I was special, but they just wanted to use me. You know what, Holden, and I'll tell you something. I went back my high school for a reunion, and everything is different. The star athletes, they're just fat and sweaty now. They're with big, ugly women that they don't care about. It's the intelligent guys, the smart guys they have... they have everything. I mean, they're rich, they've got beautiful wives. They're... they're guys like you. They were intelligent, sensitive, considerate.
- Holden March: I try to be.
- Amanda Rollins: I know. I know that. I can see that in you now. Now that I'm a woman. And I wish we weren't here right now. Yeah, I wish we'd met someplace else. I just don't want this to sound wrong, Holden, but I think you're superb. I really do.
- Holden March: All of you beautiful, blonde, unobtainable girls, I forgive you. If it were not for you, I would not be here on the edge of greatness. I could have spent my whole life in the shadows, but I choose instead to fight back, to make sure people remember me, because I know one thing: it is better to die in infamy than to live a life of obscurity.
- Olivia Benson: You gave mommy a scare, didn't you, Noah? But you're my big boy. You're my little fighter, aren't you? You're so strong. You had to be, huh? You got a long life ahead of you. You got places to see, things to do and people who will love you.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: [to Amaro and Olivia about Holden] You two had him yesterday and you let him go?
- Olivia Benson: 'Cause at that time, nobody had I.D.'d him yet. He was smart enough to know that we couldn't compel him to come in, and there wasn't probable cause for an arrest.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: You create probable cause. You push him around, you provoke him!
- Nick Amaro: After Eric Garner and the stop-and-frisk lawsuits, One PP's been very clear: "Don't make a scene."
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: Then why are you opening your mouth right now?
- Olivia Benson: [while on the phone] Miss Jackson, yes. So sorry.
- Chantal Jackson: That's not what you should be sorry about. I'm in the hospital where your foster child is in a step-down unit with a babysitter.
- Olivia Benson: Yes, I know. I was there all night and Mrs. Amaro is not a sitter. She's actually a family friend.
- Chantal Jackson: And I just spoke to Noah's doctor.
- Olivia Benson: So did I.
- Chantal Jackson: She called me after finding the child's fractured ribs.
- Olivia Benson: Yes. Then you know that those injuries happened before I took custody of Noah and that they've healed now.
- Chantal Jackson: I'm not suggesting that you caused the injuries. I am troubled that you chose to go to work while your foster child remained in the hospital.
- Olivia Benson: I was called away for an emergency and I'm doing everything that I can to get back there as soon as possible, believe me.
- Chantal Jackson: I hope so. You do understand that your absence will be included in my report.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, I do.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: Sergeant Benson!
- Olivia Benson: Chief Dodds, I didn't realize that you were waiting.
- Deputy Chief William Dodds: If you'd been here, I wouldn't have to wait.
