Agent Lewis quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Agent Lewis

[to the man who ordered her rape] I'm going to get past this. Unlike you, I'm going to have a life.

Lewis

Welcome home, Detective Benson.

Lewis

Are you feeling sad? Thinking about someone you’re never gonna see again? Mom? Dad? Boyfriend? No, huh? Someone else, someone you would give anything too see just one more time. You’re gonna cry out his name at some point. They always do.

Lewis

You seeing a therapist? Please, promise me you'll do that. He probably sits there with you, tells you that you're working through it, right? "You can be whole again, Olivia." Well, he's lying. What I do, and I've seen this in the victim impact statements, nobody ever recovers from.

Lewis

This is the last thing you're going to think about before you die. The last thing you're going to see.

Stabler

You are a jinx.

Agent Lewis

Who? Me?

Stabler

The last year at the courthouse, when I got shot, you were there. You are bad luck. Every time you show up, I nearly get killed.

Agent Lewis

You are still above ground, hon. Maybe I'm your good luck charm.

Benson

Elliot told me to tell you you are nuts.

Agent Lewis

That's just concussion talk.

Agent Lewis

Hey Liv, what caliber gun do you use in the NYPD?

Benson

38.

Agent Lewis

Oh, mine's 40.

Benson

That gun there, that's a 9 mil.

Agent Lewis

Aah, mine's 10. And you know what they say: Size does matter.

Agent Lewis

Domestic terror charge is gonna put you under 40 years to life, Mitchell.

Benson

It'd be in your best interests to tell us where Haley is.

I don't have a clue!

Benson

He's not very bright.

Agent Lewis

Nope. Obviously not. Dum-dum tried to put dynamite in a freezer.

Benson

You put a cop in the hospital, Mitchell.

Agent Lewis

Do you have any idea how bad it is for you, Mitchell?!!

Do you?! You can't keep raping the Earth! This little campfire is nothing compared to what's coming!

Agent Lewis

What's comin', Mitchell?

Benson

What's comin'? We're listening.

Don't worry. You won't be able to miss it. It's gonna light up the sky.

Agent Lewis

I need you to run this rape kit as a Jane Doe.

Benson

Who's the victim?

Agent Lewis

Me.

Agent Lewis

The PAT's plan was to spark a revolution by killing a cop. And you guys served up that state trooper on a silver platter. Then, after all of New York's finest would attend the funeral, they would just blow everybody else up. [tosses a grenade towards Stabler and he catches it]

Stabler

Hey, hey. I don't have a good track record with you and explosives. [Nervously hands grenade back to her]

Agent Lewis

Oh relax, Nancy. The pin is in it.

Benson

FBI Agent Lewis, this is my partner, Detective Nick Amaro.

Agent Lewis

Nice to meet you, sunshine.

You, too. Hey, can I ask what the FBI's interest is in a New York cold case?

Agent Lewis

We think he's a serial. He's our prime suspect in three other rape/murders - Sacramento, Philadelphia, Washington, besides two in New York.

But the DNA matched a Manhattan case, makes it ours. And these aren't federal crimes.

Agent Lewis

How about we work together on this?

Benson

Just so you know, Nick, when she asks, it's not really a question.

Yeah, I'm getting that.

Benson

After what you did to her, you're lucky I didn't kick your teeth in.

Lewis

What I did, you should be so lucky someone does that to you.

Shut the hell up or I'll take you out right now and wipe that stupid smile off your face.

Benson

Nick, it's all right. I wanna hear this. I should be so lucky? How?

Lewis

Well, sure, sweetheart. What do you want to hear?

Benson

Whatever you got.

Lewis

You mean, like, how disturbing it would be to make a fine, educated, cultured woman like that disrobe? How humiliating it would be? How she might have covered herself with her hands?

Benson

Go on.

Lewis

You want to hear about how I tied her to the bed. Not too tight, so I could watch her struggle. Or do you want to hear how I made her get down on her knees and forced myself inside her? Is that your thing? Or do you wanna hear about the pyrotechnics? How I put out cigarettes on her? [smiles] Yeah, gotcha. You want to hear how I branded her private parts with keys and hot hangers.

All right. I know you're getting off on this, but you know what? I wanna know how you got in that apartment.

Lewis

That's by the numbers. [to Benson] Men are from Mars, right, detective? He wants the logistics, but you... you want the emotions.

Benson

I do. So tell me more.

Lewis

A 60-year-old woman. She did things she never expected to do... things she never knew were possible... with her fingers, with her mouth. Do you wanna hear how, in the evening, she said she would do anything as she begged for her life? Or how, in the morning, she begged me to take her out of her misery? Which do you think I enjoyed more?

Benson

[to Lewis] My partner, my squad, the entire department will hunt you down. You think that you've put people through hell. It will rain back down on you.

Lewis

You know what? Let it rain.

Judge Lewis

Are you ready to allocute, Judge Gallagher?

I am. Today I plead guilty to sexual misconduct. What I thought was consensual I now understand was perceived as coercive and hurtful actions.

Judge Lewis

I understand there's a deal?

We've agreed to the DA's offer of one year to be served under house arrest.

Judge Lewis

Mr. Carisi, are you comfortable with this?

Sonny

My office is satisfied, Your Honor.

Judge Lewis

Well, I'm not. Judge Gallagher, you come from a good family, a fine home, and yet despite all those advantages, upon achieving power, you abused it habitually. So in the interest of true justice for the women you've abused, I hereby order you to serve your one year sentence in a jail cell.

What?

It's fine.

You can't do that. We had a deal!

Judge Lewis

You did. And as you well understand, the bench has inherent powers in these situations. The long arm of the law can work both ways. You're remanded.
