Quotes 

• Brian Cassidy : [to Stone]  I heard that Reggie confessed.

  Peter Stone : Yeah, he did.

  Brian Cassidy : I mean, can you cut this kid a deal? Don't you think he's suffered enough?

  Peter Stone : So, you total my case, you... uh... run from a murder scene, and hole up with a fellow officer, and now you're telling me how to do my job?

  Brian Cassidy : Okay, so then fire me then, all right? I deserve that. I get that, but not Reggie. Come on, man. After what West did to him? This kid's gonna be chasing demons away the rest of his life. Every relationship, every time this kid looks into a mirror, there's just there's gonna be this looming shadow there.

• Odafin Tutuola : Stone, don't come down so hard on Liv.

  Peter Stone : You a part of this too, Detective?

  Odafin Tutuola : If she had asked me to, I would've been.

  Peter Stone : That's refreshing.

  Odafin Tutuola : You stick around long enough, you'll see.

  Peter Stone : What? That you're all criminals?

  Odafin Tutuola : Yo, Stone. Stone, listen. When I first got to SVU, I was a hot head, okay? More times than I'd like to admit. I wanted to put a bullet in one of those sickos' heads. Liv saw I was spiraling and she sent me home so I could get my head together. If she thought Cassidy was guilty, she would've brought him in.

  Peter Stone : So I'm just supposed to ignore the fact that she lied to me?

  Odafin Tutuola : I've been around the block a couple of times. Trust me on this.

• Peter Stone : [to Olivia about Cassidy]  You work with him before?

  Olivia Benson : I have, and normally he's money.

  Peter Stone : Well, you'd never be able to tell that from his performance today. I can't believe I let Jack McCoy talk me into taking this job.

  Olivia Benson : Why did you?

  Peter Stone : Something came up after my father died. And I didn't see it coming.

  Olivia Benson : Look, we need to make sure that these families know that we are not giving up on them.

• Olivia Benson : [to Stone]  You didn't have to call Holiday. I could've handled this myself.

  Peter Stone : You think for a minute I'm going to let you interrogate your ex-boyfriend?

  Olivia Benson : Okay, Peter, listen to me. Cassidy has been staying at my apartment. I know how this looks...

  Peter Stone : Right now, it looks like you were obstructing justice.

  Olivia Benson : I was trying to get justice.

  Peter Stone : By running a rogue investigation?

  Olivia Benson : So what are you gonna do? Prosecute everyone here?

  Peter Stone : If they keep killing people.

• Peter Stone : You can't be running a parallel investigation.

  Olivia Benson : I agree with you, and with all due respect to Detective Holiday, I believe that I am better equipped to run this case.

  Peter Stone : Homicide caught the case. If she needs your help, she will ask for it.

  Olivia Benson : I have a son. Uh, Noah. He's adopted, and not too long ago, he was kidnapped by his biological grandmother. She didn't hurt him, but... I can't sleep at night. I stare at him at night while he's sleeping, wondering if he's gonna be okay. The damage that West did to these boys...

  Peter Stone : Doesn't justify murder.

  Olivia Benson : My point is is that this case, no matter how it plays out, has to be dealt with sensitively.

• Peter Stone : I hear you're a Mets fan.

  Reggie Price : Oh, you're here to talk about baseball?

  Peter Stone : Yeah, why not? We've got some time to kill. You know I used to play for the Cubs? Just for a cup of coffee. I blew out my UCL. I had to quit. That was a bad time for me. My whole identity was wrapped up in being a ballplayer, and when I felt that ligament rip, it was like someone robbed me of who I was; everything I could be, kinda like what Dr. West did to Sammy. I didn't have anyone to blame... nowhere to put my anger, and it tore me up inside.

  Reggie Price : You blamed yourself?

  Peter Stone : Yeah. Plus, I let my family down.

  Reggie Price : What happened to Sammy... that's on me.

  Peter Stone : You couldn't have known.

  Reggie Price : Yeah. Yeah- yeah, I did. And I didn't do anything to protect him.
