Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [Carisi's brother-in-law claims he was raped by his female parole officer]  What happened to you wasn't right, it wasn't your fault, and it's not going to just go away if you pretend it didn't happen.

• Bella Carisi : [to Olivia]  Sonny told me that sometimes women say they've been raped when they don't want their husbands to find out they were fooling around.

  Olivia Benson : Well, your brother has a lot of stories, but this isn't one of them. Tommy wanted no part of what happened to him.

  Bella Carisi : Then how did he...? With a gun to his head? You know, it just that seems impossible.

  Olivia Benson : Because it happens. It happens to men, it happens to women. It's a mechanical biological response. It doesn't mean that the victim enjoyed it. It's like, you know, a sneeze, or or when you've cut up onions. Right? Okay, so, what happens? You cry. Actual tears. But it doesn't mean that you're sad. Bella, I know what I'm talking about. And I'm asking you to trust me. To trust me about Tommy.

• Donna Marshall : I gave up my life, my marriage for this job and then Tommy Sullivan comes waltzing in all buzzy, talking about his pregnant girlfriend and his wonderful new life.

  Olivia Benson : That doesn't give you the right to do what you did to him.

  Donna Marshall : I tried to help him! I tried to help all of them! And you know what they do? They take your hand and they drag you down to their level. They don't want to change. They will never change.

• Olivia Benson : According to the disclosure, Officer Marshall pulled a gun on him and he felt that he needed to comply.

  Ralph Kessel : Oh, comply. He sounds like my wife.

  Nick Amaro : Mine too.

  Ralph Kessel : [Olivia stares at Kessel after his comment]  I'm sorry, not everybody gets my sense of humor, but, come on, Donna. She's... she's barely a sexual being, let alone a sexual predator.
