Babes (2008)

Mariska Hargitay: Detective Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [to Tina Bernardi]  Josh suffered from schizophrenia. You're not worried that your baby is going to be predisposed to it?

  Christina 'Tina' Divola Bernardi : No way. What does "predisposed" mean?

• Olivia Benson : Fidelia, you need to screw your head on straight. This is a baby we're talking about, not a new shade of lipstick.

• Olivia Benson : Fidelia, why don't we talk about the father of the baby, huh?

  Fidelia Vidal : So, what's your story?

  Olivia Benson : Excuse me?

  Fidelia Vidal : You have kids? You're pretty old.

  Olivia Benson : We're here to talk about you.

  Fidelia Vidal : I bet you're jealous. Old chicks are totally jealous of me. Is that it? Did you wait too long? Tick-tock.

  Fidelia Vidal : [rubs her pregnant stomach] 

  Olivia Benson : Fidelia, a baby is not an accessory. It is not a bracelet or a pair of earrings or a slamming pair of jeans. This is a living, breathing human being that you are bringing onto this earth.

  Fidelia Vidal : You think I don't know that?

  Olivia Benson : If you did, you'd be petrified about your future. Do you know the odds of a teen mom finishing high school? Forget college or any other dream that you might have. Life as you know it is over now. There's no going to the mall or hanging out with your friends. I mean, you might see them, but if you do, it'll probably be in line waiting for food stamps or all of you going to the doctor, trying to get an appointment at the free clinic.

  Fidelia Vidal : Daddy, make her be quiet.

  Gordon Vidal : That's enough, Detective.

  Olivia Benson : Do you know the health risks to babies of teen moms? Dyslexia, retardation, increased risks of blindness, cerebral palsy...

  Fidelia Vidal : Daddy...

  Gordon Vidal : Don't you try to blame my daughter. She's just a child.

  Olivia Benson : That's my point exactly.

• Olivia Benson : [to Elliot]  Babies having babies doesn't bother you?

  Elliot Stabler : Babies killing babies bothers me.
