Sonny quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Fin

Paternity's back. Congratulations. You're a winner.

Of what?

Fin

Of a dead teenager and her two-month-old fetus.

You knocked up Natalie Curtis when she was released to Altbrook.

Sonny

And then you raped her the night she died.

I-I never raped anybody.

Sonny

What do you call it when you trade an addict drugs for sex?

It's not rape when she's begging for it.

Sonny

Well, if it's the same Katy Miller, then she's a social media celebrity; Instagram, YouTube, Snap. She's got a couple of hundred thousand followers.

Fin

Thank you, Kim Kardashian.

Sonny

Yeah, sure, make mock, but these influencers are the voice of Gen Z.

Fin

And they're getting rich doing it. Don't people know porn's free these days?

Sonny

That's the end of his career. No one's ever gonna touch him again.

Fin

How's he ever gonna make it with a mere 50 million in the bank?

Imagine walking around, everybody thinking you're a rapist.

Fin

He can just move to Hollywood.

Sonny

You know, as long as we're tearing down statues, we night as well cancel Thanksgiving.

Don't mess with my favorite holiday.

Sonny

Brought to you by Puritans - religious extremists who burned witches and massacred Indians.

Says the guy who goes to Mass on Columbus Day.

Benson

Nobody's forcing you to prosecute.

If I don't, I'm telling the world that baby Drew has no rights.

What about his right to die?

Sonny

Unfortunately, that's not in the Constitution.

Okay, let's find out if daddy's little excursion yesterday caused the baby any harm.

Benson

So you can let Aaron go with a clear conscience?

So I can prosecute and maybe get some sleep in the next decade or so.

Weren't you wearing that suit yesterday?

Sonny

My, uh, dry cleaner broke down.

That's too bad. I thought you might be getting laid.

Sonny

Don't think too much, Rollins.

Sonny

Detective Carisi. This is Detective Rollins...

I know who you are.

Then you know West was our case.

Yeah. It's all over the news how that racist in the D.A. squad self-destructed in court.

I know Cassidy. He's no racist.

He just gets off on roughing up black suspects?

Pedophiles. They tend to bring out the worst in people.

Sonny

Alright, let's concentrate on this murder. We investigated West for the past two years, so if we combine our resources...

Oh, I got it from here, and I'd appreciate it if you'd get out of my crime scene before you people screw that up, too. [leaves]

Sonny

[calling after her] It's a little early in the morning for stick up your ass.

Sonny

So is this where you tell me I'm off the case?

Benson

Officially, yes. And unofficially, don't screw it up.

Am I a bad person?

Sonny

No. No, of course not. Hey. The first time I met you, you were three months old, and, uh you wouldn't smile for me, no no matter what I did. You just stared at me. You're very serious, but you were so cute that I started smiling. And then all of a sudden, like like somebody flipped a light switch. Your face lit up and and you smiled at me. That was all you needed. You just wanted me to be happy. You've always been like that, Mia, and I promise you, I'm not gonna let anything bad happen.

We've all got family secrets, Detective. The important thing is, you spoke up when it counted.

Sonny

You know, you're not such a bad guy for a lawyer.

I do my best.

Sonny

Hey, Rollins, when you were a kid, what was the dumbest thing you ever did?

Me and Stevie Harris used to steal our dads' .22s and go shoot cans off a stump, and one day, I dared him to go down to the stump and just hold the can an arm's length out. Dead-eye Amanda shoots a bullet hole right through the sleeve of his sweatshirt.

Sonny

You know what, remind me never to go to the practice range with you.

Remind me never to let Jesse leave the house.

[about a victim who's a prostitute] I've been here, what, seven years? I still don't get it.

Sonny

World's oldest profession, my friend.

I understand why there are hookers, Carisi. I just don't get why we give a damn. They... they know the risks.

Sonny

Maybe they don't have a choice.

Everybody's got a choice. Besides, there are plenty of women out there who need our help, and more importantly, want it.

I almost dyed my hair purple in college.

Sonny

Oh, yeah? What were you gonna do? Audition to be the sixth member of the Spice Girls?

I would be an excellent backup vocalist.

Betty Bluestone. It was a case I had about five years ago. Her husband, Mitch, used her face like a leg of lamb in a "Rocky" movie. I filed charges, and Betty fell apart on the stand.

Benson

Case dismissed?

So the happy couple goes home, and he blows her brains out on the bathroom tile. I did my job, and in the end, all I did for Betty was delay the inevitable.

Benson

So you decided to take matters into your own hands.

So I started volunteering at a women's shelter, and it grew from there.

Sonny

How many women have you disappeared?

Hundreds. It's not just me. You wouldn't believe how deep and far this network goes.

Benson

Alex, this is cruel. These women, their... their families, their friends think that they've been murdered.

No, no, every case is different. In Jules' case, death was the only way Nick Hunter was ever gonna let her leave.

Sonny

[chasing a group of rape suspects] Hey! Where do you think you're going, huh?

Fin

Pro tip: next time, run in different directions.
