Olivia Benson quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Carla, baby? Daddy's here. [drops his pants] You called, Chuck-a-luck delivers, big time! [suddenly, the lamp turns on; on Chuck's bed is Paxton] Whoa! [puts his pants back on]

Doesn't look that big to me.

Who the hell are you?

Sonya Paxton. I'm from the District Attorney's office. I heard you had something that could really rock my world, but...

Benson

Hey. Funny. You never told us you had a girlfriend.

I made this for you in art class. It's you.

Benson

Calvin, it's beautiful!

I signed it.

Benson

"Calvin Benson". [pause]

Because you rescued me.

Benson

[choked up] Go to school.

So what, I took the money? I earned it!

Benson

Let me ask you something: was it worth it?

Talk to me in 10 years when you have nothing: no family, no future and a dead career. How's that sound?

Benson

I'm not you Sunny, I'm nothing like you.

Then why are you so scared?

Stabler

Hayes has a female pilot. That's interesting.

Benson

Something tells me his glass ceiling is the mirror over his bed.

Stabler

Want me to cut my vacation short?

Benson

No, I'm covered. I'm good.

Stabler

Well, Fin may have your 6, but he's definitely not me.

Fin

No, I'm better. I actually watch her back, and not her backside.

Benson

So she brings home a date, opens something from the company cellar, and he attacks her.

Stabler

So much for romance.

Benson

You sure this guy's out here? The only thing I've seen in the last half hour is a five pound rat.

Stabler

Yeah, you've got it bad? I just saw a transvestite that looks like Munch.

Doug is my twin. Do you even know that means? We share a soul. Ever since we came to be in our mother's womb, we've been together. We always will be.

Benson

It's still incest.

Stabler

Twin-cest.

I was at work. Ask any of my students.

Benson

Students? You were caught feeling up a 10-year-old.

But I wasn't convicted.

Benson

Still, I'm pretty shocked that Hudson University didn't fire you.

They can't. I have tenure.

Elliot put his papers in. There was nothing I could do.

Benson

[pause] He's earned it.

And then some. You wanna talk?

Benson

No.

Wanna take a day?

Benson

I'm fine.

Liv, I'm sorry.

[to Fin] Hey man, you got your 20 years yet? Once you put your papers in, why don't you come work for me? I take real good care of my soldiers.

Benson

No job for me, Supreme?

[grins] I don't know, sweetheart. Can you dance?

Benson

You proud of yourself? You brought up every stereotype, you shamed that girl about her sexuality, you said that if a white girl in that neighborhood cries rape, she must have wanted it. Nice work.

Ellis

And your case? The ID, the gun your partner "heard" slide under the couch? No DNA? If Michael were white, this never would have gone to trial.

Benson

Oh, wow. You're still playing the race card, huh?

Ellis

84 percent of the young men in jail are black and Latino.

Benson

He raped her!

Ellis

So she says. We don't know. Neither one of us was there. The only thing we can do is believe our people. And we do it, without question.

Benson

So that's it. You're a true believer.

Ellis

I am, and so are you.

Benson

Gia, George Zane is going to prison. He will never touch you again.

You can't promise me that. In the real world, he's sane and I'm not.

A guy like that... raping a girl in his own family, over and over... You think I wanted to talk to him? I wanted to tear his head off.

Benson

My old partner, he, uh... There were a few times he came pretty close.

How do you handle it?

Benson

You do everything you can to make sure he never sees the light of day again.

Can I ask you something? How long have you been at SVU?

Benson

Don't ask.

I mean, how do you handle dating with the things you see day in and day out? How can you trust any man?

Benson

I trusted my partner.

Yeah, well...

Benson

I haven't given up. There are good guys still out there.
