[Stabler and Benson are approaching two argumentative witnesses]
Detective Elliot Stabler : Fellas... fellas, NYPD. You found the body?
Ed : Yes, sir.
Rusty : Uh, he did not!
Ed : Shut up, Rusty!
Rusty : No, I was here first!
Ed : Yeah, and *I* opened the suitcase!
Olivia Benson : Girls, girls! You're both pretty.

Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : [to the detectives about Vance Shepard] So you just let him walk out.
Detective Elliot Stabler : We have nothing to hold him on.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Other than murdering Emily Keefe.
Olivia Benson : Shepard was alibied all day long. Meetings, dinner, then home.
Odafin Tutuola : The same home his mistress strolled out of in living color.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Yeah, so bust his ass on prostitution. Do I have to handhold you people?
Detective Elliot Stabler : No, but here's a news flash. Vice handles prostitution, not Special Victims.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Don't pass the buck, Stabler.
Odafin Tutuola : Who says their arrangement was prostitution anyway?
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Oh, come on. It's the world's oldest profession. I think we've settled on the definition. She got what's in his wallet. He got what's between her legs.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, unless he got something more. You know, since the '70s, courts have ruled that as long as the woman gets paid for something in addition to sex, shopping advice, companionship, not prostitution.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Okay, I get it. So if it's a back alley hand job for five bucks, she's a hooker. Right? But if it's five G's a month and all the shoes she can buy, then she's some kind of, what, entrepreneur?
Olivia Benson : Times have changed, Sonya or have you not been on Craigslist lately? There are some women who believe that just...
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : I can't believe that you're arguing this, Olivia.
Olivia Benson : Why? Because all women have to have the same opinion on everything?

Olivia Benson : [When Paxton lights up a cigarette inside the squad room] Sonya...
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Hmm?
Olivia Benson : You do know there's no smoking in this building.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : [gasps] What are you going to do? Bust me?
[laughs, but Olivia and Elliot glare at her]
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Okay, fine.
[puts out her cigarette]

Detective Elliot Stabler : [When Olivia and Elliot are at the Garb Barn discount store]
[through the P.A. system]
Detective Elliot Stabler : Attention, employees, Will the Master Baiter please report to register one? Master Baiter, register one.
[the store employees look around, puzzled and one employee approaches the register]
Olivia Benson : Not a masturbator. The Master Baiter.

Detective Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia] Detective, how many times have we heard that song?
Olivia Benson : The Ballad of the Loving John? At least once a week.

Chantel Shepard : [after confessing to murdering Emily Keefe] He took the blame, said he killed her. That proves my daddy loves me, right?
Olivia Benson : Chantel, this isn't the way a father is supposed to prove his love.
Chantel Shepard : How do you know? Maybe your father never loved you.
Olivia Benson : You know what? He didn't, but I still know that this is wrong.
Chantel Shepard : No. What he's doing is right.
-
Olivia Benson : Chantel, we need the truth. Was your father at your soccer game or not?
Chantel Shepard : Well, no, but that's only because he's got so many important things to do.
Joyce Shepard : The only important thing he has to do is be a prick. He gets her hopes up...
Chantel Shepard : Mom...
Joyce Shepard : And then he shatters them. And I get to pick up the pieces.
Chantel Shepard : Yeah, 'cause you're never a bitch!
