[while arresting Moore] You find this funny?
MMoore
I do, actually. There's nothing as funny as watching a beautiful woman make the biggest mistake of her life.

I'm being sent to Coventry. As of Monday morning, I'll be riding point for the Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Task Force on Staten Island.
No, no, no, they can't do that.
Feathers were ruffled, so a head has to roll.
I will call the press. I will call 1PP. I will call whoever I have to. This is ridiculous.
Liv, let it go. I've had a good run. And it's not time for you to stick your neck out.
I'll be the judge of that.
No. You've still got work to do and gas in the tank. It'd be a wasted sacrifice, Captain. [Benson looks stunned] I made it a condition of my exile. Don't worry about me. I'll be back.
You're a good man, William Dodds.
You are a class act, Olivia Benson. Long may you run.
Is this Special Victims?
It is. I'm Captain Benson. What's your name?
Raegan.
Hey, Raegan. Did something happen to you?
I have no idea.
Life is boring, and my version is a lot more interesting.
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?
Low-lives know low-lives.
Mr. Marino, are you ready to talk?
MMarino
I am. One word for you: lawyer.
Raegan, this is going to take time.
How many times have you said that to someone?
Too many. Raegan, this is not going to be easy, but you survived the assault, and you're going to survive this.
You've said that before too, haven't you?
I have, because it's true.
How do you know?
[pause] Because I did. So, if you ever want or need to talk, I'm here.
[pause] I know.
It's going to be okay.
So what's this new chief's deal?
Well, he's methodical, he's thoughtful, and he's Ivy League educated.
So why is he a cop?
Mathis is so deep in the closet, he went past Narnia.
You want me to shame a celebrity into coming out of the closet so you can publicize the case?
I wouldn't say shame. Motivate.
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.
HHadid
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.
Excuse me?
HHadid
Oh, I'm sorry. Egg on our faces?
Ms. Hadid, you're the one who pushed Carisi in the first place.
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.
HHadid
The clock isn't ticking, counselor. It's blown up.
Mr. Moran, here's your choice: Confess and you go into prison as a straight man who assaults gays. Or this goes to trial and everybody hears that you're a self-loathing homosexual who gets angry after he services Black men in bars. As your attorney once said to me, "What's your preference?"
[about Evangeline] Going through this girl's social media, it's a mash-up of "Jesus is my boyfriend" songs and kitten videos.
Mrs. Miller, I've been doing this for a very long time, and sometimes, the unspeakable turns out to be the truth.
So if we could get your husband's DNA and if he is innocent...
TTammy
Which he is.
Then it could very well exonerate him.
TTammy
Of course it will, but we can wait until after the baby is born. I see you judging me, but however it happened, Evangeline is pregnant and I intend to meet my grandchild here in this world, not in heaven.
"However it happened"?
