Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 1 quotes

[to Sonny] Thank you, Mister Dominic. I know what the Chinese proverbs say, but you've saved me twice now. You can rest.

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"?

So, where did you go, Amanda?

Excuse me?

I saw the light come on in your eyes, your soul leave its cage. You were on your journey. So, I'm curious - where did you go?

You were brilliant. What happened to your mind?

[agitated] My mind has evolved! That's why people are so threatened by me! [points to the mirror] Who's out there? The AMA? American Psychiatric? How many forces conspire against me? Big Pharma? You said yourself, they're only interested in drugs to numb the soul! Who is there?

No one is out there but my captain.

[completely delusional] O Captain my Captain, our fearful trip is done/The ship has weathered every wrack/The prize we sought is won...

Dr. Adler, come back, be here with me...

No, no, no, that is something I will not do! I will not sit there with you eating green eggs and ham, I will not give false confession, I will not be complicit in our society's bloodlust for scapegoats! [starts climbing up the wall]

No, you can't go out that way...

Going, going, gone!

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

They all are.

You ever see Getz do anything with the girls physically?

If I did, you'd be fingerprinting me.

This is a men's room.

Benson

We looked for you in the little girl's room, but you weren't there. Mind if we talk to you?

Am I under arrest?

Not if you come with us voluntarily.

[on phone] I'm being harassed, babe. Call Abrams and tell him to meet me at -

Benson

Special Victims Unit.

Mind if I zip up first? Or do you want to do it for me, sweetheart?

Benson

Hard pass. Wash your hands, sweetie.

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

You would know.

We're keeping the investigation open, and if more girls come forward...

He'll find a way to rig that too. You and I both know that Getz will never be held accountable. Never.

[after kidnapping Rollins] Getz has my girls. Now I have one of yours.

Benson

Frank, let's talk about this.

I want Getz in jail.

Benson

Okay, I hear you. But Frank -

I know you. You get things done. Now do this.

Fin

[about Frank] He likes Rollins. I don't think he'll hurt her.

Benson

Men kill women they like all the time, Fin. You know that.

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.

Garland, just FYI, I have a lot more friends at 1PP than you do. And for what it's worth, the sense around the Old Guard is that you don't know your place.

That's why they're the Old Guard.
