Olivia Benson quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Munch put in his papers.

Benson

What?! No, he didn't.

Yeah. The Mehcad Carter case hit him pretty hard. Liv. It's okay, Liv. Nothing changes, except what has to.

Cassidy

Liv, you do believe me about the escorts?

Benson

Stop talking.

Cassidy

I swear, I didn't...

Benson

[seductively] Has anyone ever told you to just stop talking?

Cassidy

[smiles] Yeah, everyone, all the time.

Munch

Ladies and gentlemen, Olivia Benson, the Mother Teresa of SVU. Was it something I said?

Benson

[laughs] No, John, it was everything you said.

We can't take this to trial. The girls won't testify against each other. The only way to make a case is to put two four-year-old boys on the stand to testify against their sisters; those boys are damaged enough as it is.

They're damaged?! [scoffs in disbelief and anger] I see.

Mr. Walker--

[cutting her off] No! Get away from me. Just get away! [storms out]

Benson

I keep going over it in my head... those kids did not sound coached.

We had the DNA. We were just doing our jobs.

People lie, people make mistakes, people get hurt. This comes with the territory.

No, you... you guys tell yourselves whatever you want. This didn't have to happen.

Dr. Warner

So, it turns out she's a lesbian. He's transgender. And we found the murder weapon lodged in his anal canal.

Benson

Hey, try the hot soppressata.

Fin

My favorite is still that Sherling guy we found humping that passed out vic. [the others laugh] And he tells me, "I thought she was dead." Turns out it just a little co-fetish.

Benson

Hey guys, uhm, maybe we don't talk shop?

Benson

What? He wants to plead to rape?

Multiple counts of rape in the first, multiple counts of sodomy. He will also plead guilty with an allocution. There will be specific...

Benson

He wants to stand up in open court and give graphic testimony about the things he did not do to me?

It's 25 to life. He'll die in prison. Olivia, you will avoid a trial and having to testify.

Benson

No, no, no! He does not get to do that to me. He did not rape me. He did not sodomize me. You look at that rape kit. After four days, he did not have the balls to rape me. And now he wants to stand up in open court... Now? No. No!

Benson

We should throw you a party.

I don't like parties. This is good. Um, word of advice?

Benson

Oh, please! [laughs]

I gave my whole life to NYPD, and I forgot to live my own. Me and Eileen, it's a Hail Mary. It's a shot at happiness. You know, people used to say this to me all the time, and I never understood what they meant. But take care of yourself. You deserve it. [he and Benson share an embrace] Oh, and, Olivia, do somethin' with the place, will ya?

Sergeant, you up for a trip to the Garden State?

Benson

I'm acting squad commander.

Heavy lies the crown. Detective Rollins?

Don't worry, I'll stay away from Atlantic City.

So it's true what they say about SVU.

Yeah, what's that?

Everyone's a victim to you guys.

Benson

And it's true what they say about New Jersey prosecutors. There are no victims, there are no prosecutors, only meal tickets.

Benson

[of Amaro and Rollins] Those two, I wish they'd just get a room already.

Fin

I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that!

Jimmy

You want my source's name? I'll give it to you. Write this down, it's a funny name: G-O-space-F-U...

Benson

I got it, Jimmy, I got it.

Lt. Murphy

It was the truth that will set you free.

Benson

That's not what I heard.

Lt. Murphy

Well, there are little truths, and there is the larger truth. I told the larger one.

Fin

Dohna was crystal clear when I talked to her. Frank must have gotten to her.

Benson

How?

She's Tibetan; for all we know, he called the Dalai Lama.

Benson

If Frank is a pedophile, at least he's out of their lives.

And if he's telling the truth, she gets to grow up with a full-blown narcissist who convinced her to lie.

Benson

Either way, God help that child.

Munch

I knew that guy. Who the hell is he?

Benson

Mary Poppins.

Munch

What?

Benson

Never mind.
