Detective Olivia Benson : I've never had a pedophile turn himself in before.
Captain Donald Cragen : His mother just remarried. Could he be making it up to get some attention?
Detective Olivia Benson : Who would invent something like that? I mean, the drinking and the way he caressed that photo says he's a pedophile.
Captain Donald Cragen : But he's also a minor, Olivia.
Detective Olivia Benson : Who's over 16 and we don't need a parent present to question him.
Captain Donald Cragen : The kid has only admitted to thinking bad thoughts and that's not a crime.
Detective Olivia Benson : It is if he acted on it.
Captain Donald Cragen : What if he hasn't?
Detective Olivia Benson : Then I will stop him if I can.

Detective Olivia Benson : [to Sean Kelley while holding up a t-shirt] Recognize this?
Sean Kelley : Yeah, it's my son's shirt.

Detective Olivia Benson : [to Jake Berlin when it's discovered that Eric molested a kid] Tell me the victim's name.
Jake Berlin : I don't know it.
Detective Olivia Benson : Tell me who he is so I can get him some help.
Jake Berlin : He wouldn't tell me.
Detective Olivia Benson : Is that what set you off?
Jake Berlin : Yeah, I was livid. He begged me to understand, and he said that he couldn't stop. He asked He told me that I should just let go and that I should do it. That I'd... that I would know the bliss. That I'd be unburdened and now there's a kid out there, somewhere, hurting and there's nothing we can do.
Detective Olivia Benson : Because you just murdered the one person who could lead me to him.

Sergeant John Munch : [When Olivia is unable to find the child that Eric molested] Olivia, he'll turn up. He has to. Don't forget, Eric described the attack online in graphic detail.

Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : [to Olivia] I don't know how he did it, but the man showed restraint.
Detective Olivia Benson : What are you talking about?
Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : You know that bastards like Berlin get off on little kids and you know exactly what they do when they're having their little fantasies. If that was my kid, I would have done him.

Dr. Engles : [to Greylek] I'm afraid you're not going to make it to trial.
Kim Greylek : Don't get ahead of yourself, Dr. Engels. All I want to know is if the boy can take the stand.
Dr. Engles : For one thing, he's too young to testify in a courtroom.
Kim Greylek : We can videotape his testimony.
Dr. Engles : And he was coached.
Kim Greylek : He just shoved a crayon into a doll's ass.
Dr. Engles : But there's no evidence of sexual assault to his rectum. Somebody told him what to do to raise the alarm.
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Greylek] How much time did you spend with Cory?
Kim Greylek : Meaning?
Detective Olivia Benson : Meaning you seem pretty anxious to get into that courtroom.
Kim Greylek : I don't like what you're implying, Detective. I haven't talked to the boy yet.
Detective Olivia Benson : You talked with his father.
Kim Greylek : That's my job. Wait a minute. I believe the victim. Why don't you?
Detective Olivia Benson : Because Eric Byers walked into our precinct asking for help. He says that he didn't touch him.
Kim Greylek : Which is what all pedophiles say.
[to Dr. Engels]
Kim Greylek : In your opinion, was Cory Kelley sexually assaulted?
Dr. Engles : I can't answer that with any certainty.
Kim Greylek : Well, I can.
Elliot Stabler : Are you even interested in justice or just showboating?
Kim Greylek : Just do your damn job and I'll do mine.
Elliot Stabler : Well, is there something you think we ought to be doing that we're not?
Kim Greylek : Yeah. Squeeze the pedophile's mother till she pops.
-
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Jake Berlin] Let me explain something to you. No matter what you may think, you are not a hero.
Jake Berlin : Of course I am. I'm a shining example of how people like me have to live. I did what the Supreme Court refused to do. I made raping a child a capital offense. A life for a life.
