Benson and Stone in “Unfinished Business”

Benson

Peter, thank you.

Why? Because I put my career and everything I believe in in jeopardy for a good friend?

Benson

Yes, yes, and I didn't ask for this.

I know you didn't ask for it. I did it anyway. I was always gonna do it. I hope you find someone like that again.

Benson

What does that mean?

Look at what I just did in there. Now, I don't regret any of it, not for a minute. I simply lost perspective. This is on me. It's a weakness and a crack in my character, but the fact is, you became more important to me than the case I was trying, and that is not me, Liv. You can look a case with an open heart. I can't do that.

Benson

I...

Stop! I have to look at a case through clear eyes.

Benson

Hold on...

Stop. Just listen. I have to move on. I have to go, or risk getting blinded again.
