Quotes 

• Peter Stone : We're going to trial against John Conway.

  Olivia Benson : Without a complaining witness.

  Peter Stone : The war you can't win is the only one worth fighting.

• Peter Stone : What kind of a world is this, Olivia?

  Olivia Benson : I guess there has to be a hell so we can recognize heaven.

  Peter Stone : Suffer the little children to come unto me. See, that always baffled me. If children have to be suffered to approach God, what kind of a world has He created? If they have to suffer to be close to Him, what sort of a heaven does He reside in?

• Peter Stone : You're really gonna talk to him without his parents?

  Olivia Benson : He's seventeen, and he hasn't asked for a lawyer.

  Peter Stone : You really think he's gonna confess to assaulting his younger brother?

  Olivia Benson : I think that whatever is going on in that family, I think that Brian is drowning, too. Maybe he's looking for a lifeline.

• Olivia Benson : Peter, if you ever want or need to talk about Pam, I'm here.

  Peter Stone : She's dead. What's to say?

• Dominick Carisi : I thought you only drank beer during a trial.

  Peter Stone : Well, this one's basically over.

  Dominick Carisi : Well, you had to know that judge wasn't gonna let a wife testify against her husband.

  Peter Stone : I never underestimate the bias or ignorance of judges.

  Dominick Carisi : And we had to get an honest and intelligent one, huh?

  Peter Stone : How bad does that suck?

• John Conway : Let me tell you something about my wife, pal. She tends to agree with the last person she spoke to.

  Olivia Benson : You're saying that your wife doesn't have a mind of her own.

  John Conway : I'm saying one of you bastards put this garbage in her head.

  Peter Stone : The truth is, pal, we never considered this.

• Sam Conway : It's no big deal, okay? Everyone's making it out to be something that it's not. It's just sex. Everyone does it.

  Peter Stone : Not with their father, they don't.

• John Conway : Do you hunt, Mr. Stone?

  Peter Stone : That's irrelevant.

  John Conway : That's where you're wrong. There's a moment when you're hiding in the brush, that deer picking berries off a tree not fifty yards from you. It's like... the world stops. All that exists are two souls: the hunter and the hunted. You try not to breathe, but the deer, he hears your heart beating, the blood running through the fingers folded around the trigger. He looks up. An instant of silence and slow time. The first to flinch loses. I have served in the military. I've built a business up from nothing by myself.

  Jed Karey : That's enough, John.

  John Conway : My point is, I don't flinch.

• Peter Stone : [to Carisi]  Want to tell me about Sam?

  Dominick Carisi : Well, he's terrified of his old man and he's embarrassed by him.

  Peter Stone : It's par for the course.
