Sonny quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Sonny

I thought you wanted to know who the father was.

I did. But judging by the looks on your faces now, I'm not so sure.

Even if Mackenzie was raped?

Look, she doesn't see it that way. And at this point she's decided she's keeping the baby.

Sonny

So, what, you're fine with what happened to your daughter?

I have to be. I loved Mac's mom, I love Mac. I'm in this for the long haul. And the last thing we need is some stranger barging in and demanding rights he doesn't deserve. Look, this what Mackenzie wants.

Mackenzie's a child. She doesn't know what she wants.

What I did with my girls wasn't dirty, detective. It was beautiful.

Fin

What about your wife?

She had her day.

Sonny

You really are a prick, you know that?

In your eyes. My girls loved me.

[about Richard] He thought it was funny - the old bitch watching the younger bitches. That's what he said. Sometimes he made me applaud his "performances". He was sick.

Look what he did to her.

I tried to help them, all the girls. I did. It's just... I was scared.

Sonny

Scared of what?

That he'd leave. What would happen to me then? What's going to happen to me now?

That man single-handedly destroyed an entire family.

Sonny

Don't forget about the other seven, scattered all over Europe.

Welcome to America, land of the free.

Fin

Home of the sick bastard.

Sonny

So, what, you go into a room, you scream, and you smash a bunch of stuff?

You make it sound so trivial.

Fin

Snake comes here?

Under a pseudonym, sure. He rents our deluxe room.

Sonny

What do you get with the deluxe room?

A dummy, male or female. Some people rent Donald, others Hillary.

Fin

How much for both?

Fin

[about Nasar] Why can't she say whatever she wants?

Sonny

She can say whatever she wants, that's the First Amendment. But imagine she was saying those kinds of things about African-Americans.

Fin

I don't pay attention to ignorant people.

Sonny

That's you, Fin. The world doesn't work that way. Words have consequences.

Fin

So it's free speech until you piss somebody off - then it's hate speech.

Sonny

Come out from behind the counter, put your hands behind your head.

Let's go.

Why?

Why? Because you are being arrested for rape.

Nahla accused me?

Sonny

Are you surprised?

Not in the least. She hates men.

I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure she hates you.

Sonny

So this guy Julius gets into a car with a drunk girl, and he and the driver have two friends that they can call at one in the morning for a gang rape? What kind of animals are these guys?

Fin

Low-lives know low-lives.

Sonny

Mr. Marino, are you ready to talk?

I am. One word for you: lawyer.

Benson

Okay, Ms. Hadid, you're new to SVU. We don't blame victims here. Human sexuality and criminal behavior are a hell of a lot different than securities fraud.

Thank you, Captain. What I do know, the longer this stays in the news cycle, the longer we're standing here with our junk in our hands.

Benson

Excuse me?

Oh, I'm sorry. Egg on our faces?

Benson

Ms. Hadid, you're the one who pushed Carisi in the first place.

Sonny

Listen, all due respect, but this feels like a circular firing squad. All Captain Benson is saying is that we have an obligation to make this case, and Ms. Hadid is just reminding us that the clock is ticking, quickly and loudly.

The clock isn't ticking, counselor. It's blown up.

Sonny

Chloe's ID, on a scale of one to shaky?

Uh, well, she... she knew his face from her HailMe app.

Sonny

So she could've been influenced.

Oh, you think? Chloe was assaulted in that car.

Sonny

Yeah, maybe, or maybe it was another car, but now I gotta keep Mr. Sayeed in holding for a crime that he probably didn't commit because if I let him go, and Ms. Hadid finds out, I'm a dead man walking.

Oh, okay. You made that bed, you can lie in it.

Sonny

Excuse me?

What did you think would happen when you moved over to that place? Because it it's all about politics, which is not your strong suit.

Sonny

I'm just doing my job. I'm not paying attention to that.

Are you, because 'cause it seems like you're more worried about your boss than you are about Chloe.

Sonny

Actually, what I'm more worried about is the DV with a battered wife who's not cooperating. I'm worried about the trans girl who was assaulted by a corporate lawyer in a case that we're never gonna make.

We're not, not with that attitude. And you know what? Everyone is worried. We're all nervous. We're swamped. We're drowning because you left.

Sonny

Oh, okay, so that's what this is about? That I left? I had to go. It was my shot.

Oh, come on! I would be fine if you were right here beside me! You said you're my partner. You walked out on me.

Sonny

You said that you were happy for me.

And you believed me? How stupid are you?

Benson

Hey guys, I'm on the phone with the Deputy Chief, so whatever is going on between you...

Nothing's going on.

Benson

Get over it. Now.

Sonny

[about Tamin] Kat doesn't miss a trick. Somebody must've stolen her lunch money once.

Benson

Or tried to.

Carisi, huh? You related to Tony "No Toes" Carisi up on Tower Hill?

Sonny

My mother says all Carisis are related.

Benson

D.A. Keane won't let this go?

Sonny

No, it was worse. He had no idea what I was asking him to do.

Benson

What does that mean?

Sonny

For years, Keane's deputies have covered up the fact that he suffered from dementia.

Benson

How bad is it? I mean, good days, bad days...?

Sonny

He thought Carlos Hernandez played first base for the '86 Mets, so...

Sonny

Carlos, a lot of people have come out of the closet since then. Times have changed.

Not in here. In here, out of the closet means into a casket. Other inmates finds out I'm gay, the gangs'll turn me into a Maytag - washing socks, spit-shinin'...

Fin

Yeah, we get it.
