Quotes 

• Professor Jessica Dillon : [to Olivia]  I hope, going forward, that we can kick apart their stories, not Heather's.

  Olivia Benson : We can, and we will. And I hope, going forward, Heather, that you'll stop talking to the press and at rallies about this so we can do our job. You understand?

  Heather Manning : There's only one problem with that.

  Olivia Benson : Which is what?

  Heather Manning : I'm supposed to go on Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow tonight.

  Olivia Benson : Heather, you're going to have to cancel those.

  Professor Jessica Dillon : That's impossible. It's it's too late. These issues are finally being brought to national attention. The whole country is waking up to the rape epidemic on our campuses.

  Olivia Benson : I thought that you said that you wanted to bring your assailants to justice.

  Heather Manning : I did say that. I do, but this is so much more than that now. I'm the face of a movement.

• Rafael Barba : [to Professor Dillon]  I need to know exactly what you told Heather.

  Professor Jessica Dillon : What she already knew. It was barbaric the way they abused her, taunted her, assaulted her.

  Rafael Barba : But she was raped. Right? Is that what she told you? By how many men?

  Professor Jessica Dillon : What difference does that make?

  Rafael Barba : Excuse me?

  Professor Jessica Dillon : She was assaulted. Does it matter by whom, for how long, in which orifice?

  Rafael Barba : Yes! Yes! It matters. We are talking about criminal charges based on specifics of what happened.

  Professor Jessica Dillon : It doesn't matter what happened to her. What matters is it happens every day. And these frat boys strut around like they're bulletproof. So a few of them finally have to take responsibility? Good. This isn't about you or these boys or this case. This is bigger than any of us. This is about eliminating rape culture once and for all.

• Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : All due respect, Professor, obviously we'd like to go through you, but if you're just gonna get in the way, we'll go over or around you.

  Professor Jessica Dillon : Interesting phallocentric choice of language, Detective.
