Quotes 

• Melanie Connor : I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get home. I feel lost.

  Olivia Benson : That's normal. It takes time, Melanie. But you will get through this, I promise.

• Melanie Connor : All I know is, I don't remember having sex. I would never have agreed to that.

  Amanda Rollins : But you think you did have sex?

  Melanie Connor : Well, after seeing the video, it kind of made sense. Morning after my date, I was sore down there. My panties were on the floor. I felt different.

  Amanda Rollins : Did you tell anybody?

  Melanie Connor : I didn't remember it, so I didn't say anything.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay, well, Melanie, um, if you were... if you were unable to consent, yeah, that could be rape.

  Melanie Connor : Well, they said that it wasn't.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : Who's they?

  Melanie Connor : Lizzie. And the Princes, Jeffrey and Regina Prince, the executive producers. They said that since I told Ryan that I wanted to lose my virginity to him eventually, that I must have wanted it.

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : No. No. They were wrong, all right? It doesn't matter what you did or what you said before.

  Melanie Connor : Then I don't... I don't understand. I thought that Ryan and I were in love with each other. Why... why would he rape me?

  Dominick Carisi, Jr. : We can investigate. We can talk to Ryan and collect evidence. Do you have any clothing from that night?

  Melanie Connor : They take care of our laundry here. They take care of everything.

  [to Rollins] 

  Melanie Connor : Could I borrow your cell? We're not allowed phones and I want to call my mom.

  Amanda Rollins : Of course.
