Olivia Benson quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Benson

You didn't even ask me if I did it.

Stabler

I know you didn't do it. You would've shot the bastard.

You've come to beat me again. I am not afraid of you.

Fin

You should be afraid of her.

What can a woman do? Claw my eyes out?

Deport you. Your passport's been revoked.

Benson

Meet Nigerian Under Consul Kema Mabuda.

I have a few friends home in Nigeria. Perhaps it is time I paid 'em a visit.

Have them visit you, at Kirikiri Prison, while you await your execution.

Benson

They use a firing squad there, right?

Fin

Yeah. And the warden thinks that's too easy, so he ties you to a pole in boilin' sun, then he has his firing squad start on your ankles and work their way up real slow.

Stabler

How soon can we get him on a plane?

[scared] If I tell you what you want to know...?

[nods] I'll ask for leniency.

There's a truck arriving tonight.

Benson

What's your name?

Screw you!

Benson

Screw You, you're under arrest for attempted rape until we nail you for the other 11.

Prove it.

Stabler

[to a witness] Does he look familiar to you?

[looks at the suspect] That's him. That's the bastard who tried to rape me!

Benson

See, Screw You? Wasn't that easy?

Stabler

What about that autistic kid in Milwaukee last year? Parishioners held him down. They were laying on top of him to cure him.

Benson

That could explain the ring mark. (she walks around behind Cragen and wraps her arms around him to demonstrate) Someone holds Jamie, he struggles, they hold him tighter.

[breathless) Until he can't breathe. Thank you, I enjoyed that.

Dr. Warner

I tested Jeff York's blood, high viral load. When did you 2 date?

Benson

5 years ago. We only slept together once, and we used protection.

Dr. Warner

Condoms are effective, not perfect. It only takes once.

Benson

I know; I'm gonna get tested. I just haven't had time.

Dr. Warner

Why don’t we do it here? Right now.

Benson

Melinda. I’ll do it.

Dr. Warner

Olivia, how many rape victims have you told to get tested?

Benson

All of them.

Dr. Warner

Would you tell them it’s alright to wait?

Benson

[long pause] OK.

Dr. Warner

Sit down and roll up your sleeve. No paperwork; I’ll do it myself.

Munch

Gives whole new meaning to "live, streaming video."

Dr. Huang

You're either looking for a urophiliac, that's a sexual attraction to urine, or a coprophilia...

Benson

Okay. Let's not go there.

Benson

Mrs. Osborne, we're gonna have to place you under arrest.

For what?

Benson

Conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Go ahead. You'll see I'm right.

Benson

Michele, this has got to stop now, okay? We know everything. Anna was on the police report from your husband's accident. She died in the car with him.

No, they never found her remains.

Benson

Michelle, they were hit by a gasoline tanker. There was nothing left. I'm sorry. But you know what I'm telling you is the truth.

I know my daughter is alive!

Benson

Casey, you've got to plead her out.

Novak

Why would I do that?

Benson

Because what happened was a mistake.

Novak

Michelle is uncontrollably driven to kidnap someone else's child.

Benson

Her little girl biologically!

Novak

But not legally. I can't let Michelle off the hook just because you feel guilty you didn't believe her.

Benson

Well, then give her a break because she's also a victim. What that fertility doctor did to those 2 women is genetic rape. And don't tell me that that doesn't bother you on some level.

Novak

Talk to the doctor, confirm what Michelle and the Bransons say and I'll consider a deal.

We use to raid sweatshops every week for making phony handbags, designer jeans, even T- shirts, but since 9/11, we put all our manpower into DVDs.

Benson

Boot-leg movies pose a threat to national security?

When al-Qaeda’s selling them. Interpol raided a sleeper cell found 20,000 copies of The Lion King. Cheap to make, the profit margin’s higher then drugs and a hell of a lot less risky.

Stabler

Using Mickey Mouse to fund terrorist attacks on America. What next?

Humphrey

Why, detective, is that your phone vibrating, or do you just find me terribly exciting?

Stabler

911 from the wife.

Benson

I talked to Novak. He gives us her location, she'll take the death penalty off the table.

Stabler

Oh, I don't know. You know how I hate letting these kids get away with that kinda thing. Okay. Bye-bye. [hangs up]

Humphrey

[suspiciously] Oh, no "I love you" this time? It rings one more time, and we're DONE!! AS IS JEANETTE!!

Stabler

Do you think you could recognize her again?

Sure could. [Elliot pulls a picture out and shows it to him] That's her.

Stabler

You've been very helpful, Thank you. [walks outside where Olivia is on her phone with Fin]

Benson

Fin, it's Liv. Look, can you check with the lab for food wrapper and soda cans found at the scene? Yeah, great, thanks. [hangs up the phone]

Stabler

Don't get your hopes up.

Benson

He didn't recognize Tandi's photo?

Stabler

He recognized my daughter Kathleen.

Benson

If you want I can try to find the father of your baby. Do you know his name?

Abraham.

Benson

And who's Abraham?

He's my husband.

Benson

I'm afraid that... I won't be able to handle it.

Dr. Huang

But you are. By acknowledging that it affects you. That's the way you handle something traumatic.

Benson

Well, I guess the real problem is that I'm afraid that... that it's not working. [starts to cry]

Benson

Now, those women out there might be brainwashed, but you're not. You know exactly what he is: A murderer and a child rapist.

That's not true!

Benson

You knew who he was and you let this happen! You let all those children die!

It was God's will!

Benson

No, Sarah! It was your will! You can blame God, and you can blame Abraham, but we all know the truth! You did this! You sat there, and you watched as a man raped one of your children and then murdered the other! You might has well have killed him YOURSELF!!

Olivia!

Benson

[calmly] He has one of your children and he has your unborn grandchild.

This is a test. I won't be tempted.
