Tamin quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

[about Evangeline] Going through this girl's social media, it's a mash-up of "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs and kitten videos.

[after getting shot] They told me I died in the ambulance. Death is overrated, if you ask me.

I'm sorry, what century is this? All these old white men trying to control women's bodies? I mean, how far off are we from The Handmaid's Tale?

Benson

You grew up taking these rights for granted. My mother, there was a time when she considered abortion, and her only option was back-alley. The bottom line is, if you have enough money, there's always a way, but it's these poor women, these girls in some states, they're gonna see deaths. That's where this is going.

They think that's what we're going back to.

Benson

You guys are still here?

Two minutes to midnight and counting.

At Vice, we never had a Friday night this quiet.

Benson

Oh...

What?

I know you're new and all, but we don't say the "Q"-word.

Fin

You jinxed it. That's your call.

There is no Venn Diagram where someone like that and I would intersect.

Yeah, says the guy in a skirt and a furry pouch.

How you doing, Lakira?

I look in the mirror, it hurts.

Give it some time. You'll be pretty as ever.

I wish I had me a little hideaway.

Let me help. I could put you in touch with some people, get you off the street.

I could hole up there for a while, just me and my friends.

Listen, Lakira, we arrested him, but I'm gonna need you to come back down to the courthouse to speak to the ADA.

I don't know. Every day I tell myself, "You're a beautiful human, Lakira, even though your family says it ain't so. Even though people stare at you like you're some kind of puzzle they don't want to put together." And now you want me to stand in front of a bunch of strangers, and talk about being raped with a goddamn flashlight?

I get it, but it won't just be strangers. I'll be there. Look, you decide what you can do, okay? Just know that I think you're one of the strongest people I've ever known.

Okay, but I'm doing it for you. I'm not expecting no fairy tale ending.

You know what my moms used to say?

No. Why don't you tell me?

She said there's two types of people in this world: the ones that turn gold into garbage and the ones that turn garbage into gold.

Is that what you think you did?

[as she shows off her red fur coat] She's pretty, isn't she? I got it for my moms. I got rent money for her too. Maybe she'll finally let me move back home. Turning vultures into angels, Kit Kat. You know me.

Fin

What was she doing in New York?

Bachelorette party.

Fin

And her friends didn't report her missing?

Some friends.

Fin

Come on Carisi, you can trust us.

Sonny

I do, Fin, but every time I go out on a limb for you guys, somebody saws it off. Look, it's an academic institute. I need some patina of probable cause. [walks away]

Fin

Patina?

That guy was really a cop?

Benson

Hey, guys, he's just he's just doing his job.

Fin

How are we gonna let this guy hit on Rollins?

Benson

We're gonna wait for probable cause.

Or "machine elves"?

You're trying to arrest Steve? That'll never happen. He's too smart.

They all are.

You had me fooled. You play the low-rent whore like you were born to it.

You would know.

Maybe I shouldn't ask this, but... Rollins knows this guy. Is there any chance that she's in on it, or maybe lost perspective?

Benson

No!

Sonny

And yeah, you're right, you shouldn't have asked.

Fin

[about Getz's death] I don't see this guy committing suicide.

I don't even think that's him on the gurney. No, hear me out. They switch him out with some homeless guy from the morgue and meanwhile he gets on a plane to some island beyond extradition.

Fin

No. I think someone took him out. No way did he kill himself.

Getz has gotten away with everything his whole life. Why quit now?

Benson

A lot of people wanted him dead. Either way, his number was up. But what gets me is that all those girls will never get their day in court.

Hey Cammy. How's the shoulder?

Huh?

Romeo said he had to pop it back in.

Oh. Right. It's fine.

So who locked the door? You or him?

Hey, SVU, pack it up. I'm not an afterschool special.
