Quotes 

• Principal Hannah Schwartz : [to Olivia]  I've gotten phone calls from parents threatening to sue for violation of their kids' civil rights.

  Olivia Benson : You tell them that if we don't contain this now, there'll be images of their children on the internet for eternity.

• Principal Hannah Schwartz : [to Olivia about Trudy Malko]  She's got a lifestyle website. She reviews holistic treatments, herbal therapies. She's the queen bee of the Tribeca moms.

  Olivia Benson : Well, there's one in every hive.

• Nick Amaro : TARU should be able to find out which student link them

  Olivia Benson : Then what? Arrest them? They're 15 years old

  Odafin Tutuola : And white. And rich. It's not gonna happen. We all know it's true

• Olivia Benson : [When Olivia is called to Dr. Lee's office] 

  [to Dr. Lee about Noah] 

  Olivia Benson : He was exposed to measles? How?

  Dr. Celia Lee : Another patient in the waiting room. And Noah may have been exposed. Let's not panic.

  Olivia Benson : He was just vaccinated yesterday.

  Dr. Celia Lee : Which is good, but the vaccine takes time to go into full effect. No fever so far. Also a good sign.

  Olivia Benson : This patient that he was exposed to, was it Aiden Dole? He has an older brother, Gabriel.

  Dr. Celia Lee : I'm sorry, I can't say.

  Olivia Benson : Of course. I understand. So what now? Is there anything I can do preventative? I mean, with his respiratory issues?

  Dr. Celia Lee : I'd like you to quarantine him at home. No exposure to other children. Adults who have been vaccinated are fine.

  Olivia Benson : For how long?

  Dr. Celia Lee : Eight days to start. I know that with your job, it will be difficult.

  Olivia Benson : [as she picks up Noah]  We'll do whatever we have to, right? Come here, little man. We'll do whatever we have to.

• Trudy Malko : [to Olivia]  So how is your son doing?

  Olivia Benson : He's out of the woods.

  Trudy Malko : This has been stressful for Colleen. I've always insisted that Gabriel be raised in ways that strengthen his natural immunity.

  Olivia Benson : Is that why he was never vaccinated?

  [Trudy doesn't answer] 

  Olivia Benson : We can subpoena a blood sample.

  Trudy Malko : The risks of vaccination outweigh the benefits. When Gabriel was born, I tried to get a medical or religious exemption, but I couldn't get either one.

  Olivia Benson : So that's why you had Dr. Setrakian lie on his records?

  Trudy Malko : He believes parents should have the right to decide what's best for their children.

  Rafael Barba : Did you recommend him to other families looking to get around the law?

  Trudy Malko : The law is unjust. As a mother protecting my child, I can't tell you how many mothers thank me for what I'm doing.

  Olivia Benson : Doing? So you're still steering parents to Dr. Setrakian? Okay, we're gonna need their names.

  Trudy Malko : I won't betray them. The AMA, the CDC, the Board of Health, the Department of Education. They are the villains here. Go after them.

  Olivia Benson : After them? You're encouraging other parents. You are endangering the health of every child in this city.

  Trudy Malko : So this is personal? Because your son took ill, you and you are coming after me?

  Rafael Barba : No, this has nothing to do with Sergeant Benson's son. You are openly flouting the law. This is reckless endangerment and we will stop you.

• Olivia Benson : [while on her phone as she is leaving court]  Okay, I'm on my way. Thank you.

  Trudy Malko : Sergeant Benson, I was hoping to find you.

  Olivia Benson : Ms. Malko, this really isn't a good time.

  Trudy Malko : I know this is difficult for you, but your son will get through this. He'll never get measles again and he'll be stronger because his body did it all on its own.

  Olivia Benson : You really don't want to get into this with me right now. My son is suffering. They're upping his antibiotics.

  Trudy Malko : Overexposure to antibiotics may be why his immune system is so weak. That's another thing you should think about.

  Olivia Benson : You may want to think about shutting your mouth. My son wouldn't have pneumonia if it weren't for you.
