Quotes 

• 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.

• Bella Carisi : [to Carisi]  This job makes you think everyone's a victim to save. Like with Tommy. You got over-involved. He told me he was a mess.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : What was I supposed to do?

  Bella Carisi : Gina and Teresa kept telling me I could do better. I should have listened to them.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Oh, my God. I love our sisters, I do, but they're crazy, okay? Teresa won't even talk to a guy who makes less than six figures and Gina, she's been engaged, what, like 10 times? Don't put too much stock into their opinions of Tommy.

  Bella Carisi : Why are you defending him now? He was never your favorite either.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Tommy's had his fair share of screw ups, but this isn't one of them, Bella. Not to mention, you're having the guy's kid.

  Bella Carisi : Maybe. We'll see.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : We'll see? What does that mean?

  Bella Carisi : I'm only 10 weeks. I got options.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Come on, hey, don't say things like that.

  Bella Carisi : It's too much, Sonny. I don't think I can do it. I don't think I can raise a kid on my own.
