Kim quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

I can't have this in my house. I'm a detective.

Kim

Right, but gambling's fine.

Actually, I'm done with that. If you wanna come with me to a meeting...

Kim

Actually, I was thinking I could follow you around. You know, learn the job a little bit? [angry] I wanted to be a cop first. You took that from me.

Kim

You didn't have to do that! I didn't ask for your help! I can take care of myself! [storms out]

[sadly] You're welcome.

Kim

[about her bipolar disorder] It makes sense: all the highs and the lows, and... I've been on meds for a year. Sure, there's downfalls. Sometimes I miss the manic energy. But for the first time in my life I feel really good about myself.

You didn't tell me.

Kim

You didn't ask, Amanda.

Kim

Amanda, how's Mason? Did you find out where he is?

He's at Child Services right now.

Kim

Don't look at me like that! I feel bad enough as it is.

Yeah, well, you should. You left him with a stranger so that you could do drugs.

Kim

Well, I ran the sink so someone would come in if I OD'd.

That's your idea of a great plan?

Kim

Mmm-hmm.

Sorry. Yelling at you isn't gonna do anything right now, is it?

Kim

It's okay. I deserve it.

It's just... I haven't seen you for two years...

Kim

It was three, actually. I was trying not to bother you.

And I was worried sick about you! One minute we're living together, you've got your bipolar under control... You turned a corner, Kim. You turned a corner.

Kim

Yes, it was under control. But the thing is, I was feeling so good, I didn't have to take all those meds.

Oh, Kim...!

Kim

I quit cold turkey. I started partying a little, but I knew you didn't want that around Jessie, so...

So you disappeared.

Kim

[smiles] At least I didn't sell all your stuff this time.

[chuckles] Well, we have that, don't we?

Kim

Daddy's gonna wake up. We're gonna hug him. We are gonna be so thankful he didn't die.

This time.

Kim

He did drive all the way from Georgia when I called.

You're his daughter. That's what parents are supposed to do.

Kim

I know it's hard to forgive him. But can I tell you something I learned in group, when I was in prison? Most inmates come from toxic parents. But if you're gonna heal, you need to love something about where you came from.
