Quotes

Olivia Benson : So, I'm walking down 10th Avenue with Noah...
Amanda Rollins : A lot of anger there. Rape in a strip club? Certainly credible.
Katriona Tamin : It says she went to NYPD in December. I'll check OLCS.
Odafin Tutuola : Must've been a local precinct.
Amanda Rollins : Something happened to her.
Olivia Benson : Yeah.
Katriona Tamin : There were two rapes reports filed in Manhattan South on that date. One was a DV, and the other one was ours.
Olivia Benson : But neither is her. This is an outcry. Fin and Kat, check local strip clubs.
[to Rollins]
Olivia Benson : Check out the billboard company. Whoever she is, I wanna find her.
-
Katriona Tamin : Dancers seem pretty tough.
Amanda Rollins : Maybe. Maybe they're just covering.
[noticing something]
Amanda Rollins : Hold up. Look familiar?
Katriona Tamin : That's the bike from the poster. That can't be a coincidence. She worked here.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, and Jared is ex-NYPD. If something did happen, his buddies might bury it.
Katriona Tamin : Yeah. Time to go to the local precinct.
Amanda Rollins : Little tip. Maybe check in with the captain first.
-
Jared Desanto : Monica Russo, that's who you were asking...
Amanda Rollins : Tell me, did you lie any better when you were a cop or is this the best you got?
Odafin Tutuola : Rollins, take five?
Amanda Rollins : [leaving] Yeah, just so you know, Jared, your buddy Donahue already told us that he dumpstered her complaint as a favor to you.
Odafin Tutuola : Take ten?
-
Isadora 'Izzy' Correa : When Markeevious and I first hooked up, people thought I was arm candy. Now, what does a brother like that need arm candy for? His whole world's a sweetshop.
Amanda Rollins : Ms. Scott, the rape allegation against your former husband is credible.
Isadora 'Izzy' Correa : I'm sure it is. Guys like Markeevious just get lazier. The candy jar's gotta be right at their fingertips.
Amanda Rollins : Sounds like there were other accusations against Markeevious.
Isadora 'Izzy' Correa : Some girls say he forced them, that he was rough. That's what he got paid for. Being rough and fast and big.
[to an assistant]
Isadora 'Izzy' Correa : Just give me one second.
Odafin Tutuola : These girls have names?
Isadora 'Izzy' Correa : Probably, but I'm not giving them an opportunity to sue. That money belongs to me, not some dumb bitches who can't get out from under him. Is there anything else?
-
Dara Miglani : Jan was a sports journalist before she was assaulted.
Amanda Rollins : Why don't you tell me what happened to you.
Jan Erickson : Um... I had lucked into an interview with Markeevious in his hotel room. I was excited. But I could tell he wasn't taking me seriously. He kept asking if I had a boyfriend. He touched my breast. I pushed him away. He grabbed me. His face was... blank. He assaulted me.
Amanda Rollins : Did you tell anyone? Or go to the police?
Jan Erickson : [softly crying] No. I went home and took a bath. I can't even watch sports anymore. I feel like I'm running away in my head as fast as I can, like something ugly is chasing me. It's me. An ugly me.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Hey, how you doin', by the way? I thought you were supposed to take a few weeks.
Amanda Rollins : I was so bored. I'm okay.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Are you sleeping? You're not eating enough.
Amanda Rollins : Well, the good news, I think I'm... I'm thinking about quitting therapy.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You wanna talk about that?
Amanda Rollins : [dodging] Aren't you late for court?
-
Amanda Rollins : You okay?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Not really, no. Jury's been out for days.
Amanda Rollins : It's been three hours, Carisi. Did you just throw up?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No. Yeah. Waiting for the verdict, it's... it's different when it's your case.
-
Monica Russo : [after an outburst in court] I know, you told me where the line was, and I crossed it. I screwed up.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, you didn't.
Dara Miglani : You're fine.
Judge Elana Barth : Excuse me. What the hell was that? Amateur hour? Keep it up, you're gunning for contempt.
Dara Miglani : Oh, go back to your rapist client.
Amanda Rollins : [Barth storms off] She's pissed. You got to her.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Not me. Monica. My guess is it worked.
-
Markeevious Ryan : Monica's saying I raped her?
Odafin Tutuola : Yes, she is.
Markeevious Ryan : Damn. I'm like a mark for these chicks. Man, I should've known better than to have been alone with her.
Amanda Rollins : So you and Monica were in the champagne room together, just the two of you.
Markeevious Ryan : It's not the first time.
Amanda Rollins : Oh, right, but there's no cameras, nice and private, get away with anything.
Markeevious Ryan : Or a stripper could lie about it.
-
Jared Desanto : These girls, they got cash register eyes.
Odafin Tutuola : So she knew this guy was rich.
Jared Desanto : Well, all the girls do. Athletes and strippers, like scotch and soda.
Odafin Tutuola : He's a regular? Sounds like a shakedown. Give me his name, I confirm, make my captain happy.
Jared Desanto : Oh, I wish I could, but, um, our reputation is staked on privacy. The high rollers trust us to be discreet.
Odafin Tutuola : [meeting up with Rollins outside] Looking for a big spender, an athlete, and it wasn't his first time.
Amanda Rollins : Didn't you say you saw Markeevious Ryan when you were here?
-
Monica Russo : Now they send women cops?
Olivia Benson : We're from Special Victims Unit. Monica, we saw your billboard.
Amanda Rollins : And we know that the club, the local precinct tried to bury it.
Monica Russo : Mm-hmm. Yep. That's why I'm here. There are rules. Everyone follows them. There are roles. Everyone knows them. Get out of line, you're never coming back.
Amanda Rollins : But not at the strip club?
Monica Russo : No. Dancer decides to give something extra, it's more money for everyone. You tip out the bouncer, manager, even the freaking DJ.
Olivia Benson : Monica, what happened to you wasn't "giving extra." You didn't choose this.
Monica Russo : [sarcastic clapping] You got it.
Olivia Benson : What we'd like to do is help you.
Monica Russo : Okay.
[taking out her phone]
Monica Russo : Smile.
[taking their picture]
Monica Russo : You can be my next billboard.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Hey, what's up, Moette? What's happening?
Moet : It's Moet. I remember you. Trying to be all undercover that night.
Amanda Rollins : You made him from the get, huh?
Moet : Yep.
Amanda Rollins : Then you know why we're here.
Moet : Monica. She's a drama queen.
Odafin Tutuola : Like her story about Markeevious?
Moet : Have you seen him? He may be retired, but he was an all-pro running back. All right? He's still jacked, and he's rich. He owns this fancy steakhouse. Why would he need to rape some bony-ass white chick?
-
Jared Desanto : Rape? No, no. Not here. All right, my girls, they see me as their favorite uncle. They'd tell me.
Amanda Rollins : Any of your girls artists on the side? Drawing, painting?
Jared Desanto : Artists, these girls? Maybe something they'd tell their customers.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : So, your complaining witness has withdrawn cooperation again.
Amanda Rollins : She's frustrated. We all are.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : And the suspect's saying what? That it was consensual? That he paid for it?
Olivia Benson : That's what they all say. You can contextualize that for the jury.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, if I have a credible victim, and she sounds like a wild card. How's she gonna present on the stand?
Olivia Benson : Well, she doesn't have a lot of faith in the system, but I think I can get her there.
Amanda Rollins : [showing them her phone] She's ahead of us. Have a look.
Monica Russo : Nobody cares. Nobody wanted to listen to me.
El Niño : You hear that?
Monica Russo : Yeah.
El Niño : Markeevious the rapist.
Monica Russo : Are you listening now? There's a rapist walking around in these streets, in this restaurant. Does anyone care?
-
Markeevious Ryan : Look, I've partied with dozens of girls. I'm going through a divorce right now. I'm not cheating, I'm just lettin' off a little steam.
Odafin Tutuola : Okay, let's say this is a shakedown. Why hasn't she asked you for money?
Markeevious Ryan : [shrugging] What I do know? What happened, I paid for. $800.
Amanda Rollins : You're saying you did have sex.
Markeevious Ryan : Consensual. I left her a $200 tip.
[seeing two customers]
Markeevious Ryan : Oh, one sec.
[to Fin]
Markeevious Ryan : Look, I know you're not gonna arrest me for patronizing a prostitute, but I have customers to attend to.
[going to greet them]
Markeevious Ryan : How are you? How you doing?
Amanda Rollins : So he's not guilty of rape 'cause he's getting a divorce?
Odafin Tutuola : Wonder what his ex has to say.
-
Olivia Benson : He's claiming consensual, which puts him in the room with her.
Amanda Rollins : His ex said that there were more allegations, but she's refusing to name names.
Olivia Benson : [surprised to see her] Monica.
Monica Russo : What the hell did you say to them?
Olivia Benson : What are you talking about?
Monica Russo : The club. They sent me all of my stuff back.
[dumping the contents out]
Monica Russo : It's all ripped, it's all covered in crap. Oh, and they sent me this.
[showing them a dead rat in a plastic bag]
Monica Russo : Yeah.
Olivia Benson : Wow, Monica, I am... I'm so sorry. Why don't you come into my office so we can talk?
Monica Russo : Why?
Amanda Rollins : Markeevious conceded that he had sex with you. He said he tipped you after...
Monica Russo : After I was raped. Yes, I took it. I was in shock.
Olivia Benson : We understand that, but let's just go...
Monica Russo : You know what? You know what? You're all fired.
-
Amanda Rollins : Monica is a fighter, Carisi, but she's getting beat by the system.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You want me to take the arraignment?
Amanda Rollins : I'm not asking you to put your finger on the scale...
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, it's not a big deal. Trust me, trust me. Anybody who can get out of an arraignment, they're happy to.
Amanda Rollins : Huh.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Hey, Crosby. Hey, you happen to know who, uh, who caught the Monica Russo case?
John Crosby : [looking through his files] Uh, Russo. Russo. The stripper who chained herself to a steakhouse?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Right.
John Crosby : Lucky me.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Actually, why don't you let me take that off your hands? I'm due in arraignment court this morning anyway. I'll let Hadid know.
John Crosby : Knock yourself out. Here, take the rest of them while you're at it.
