Quotes 

• Tensley Evans : I don't know what you want me to say.

  Marvin Exley : Listen to me, Tensley. The detectives are suggesting that something happened to you when you were a young teenager. Is that true?

  Tensley Evans : I wasn't raped, okay, if that's what you're saying. I'm no victim. It's part of the business, I did what I had to do.

  Olivia Benson : Fair enough. So what was that?

  Tensley Evans : It's no big deal. The first time, it was at a producer's pool party. Mom said it would be good for my career if I went.

  Olivia Benson : Whose party?

  Tensley Evans : Adam Brubeck.

  Amanda Rollins : And who is he?

  Tensley Evans : Hello? He's like an a-list movie producer. This was one of his casting parties at his place in East Hampton. I was in the hot tub, I got too drunk, woozy. He took me into his bedroom, toweled me off, said I had a beautiful body and that if I made him happy, he'd find a role for me in his next movie. So I did. Next time, he brought in two more guys, first to watch, but then they said fair is fair, so I did them, too.

  Amanda Rollins : How old were you?

  Tensley Evans : It went on for a couple of years.

  Amanda Rollins : And you're... you're 24 now, right? Not 23?

  [Tensley nods her head yes] 

  Olivia Benson : So Tensley, how often did this happen?

  Tensley Evans : I don't remember. I'd drink or they had coke, ecstasy. Blur the edges. Open your mouth, spread your legs, different guys. But it worked. I got that role and I got bigger roles. My mom was right.

  Amanda Rollins : Your mother knew you were having sex with your producer and his friends?

  Tensley Evans : I mean, we never talked about it, but she put me on the pill a couple months later. You don't see me complaining like that pansy-ass Gregory, okay? I gave Adam what he wanted and he gave me what I wanted. Oh-bla-di, oh-bla-da.

• Amanda Rollins : Tensley, the night of the crash, you left rehab without notifying anybody.

  Tensley Evans : I had to get out of there.

  Amanda Rollins : But part of your probation is 60 days. You can't just decide to leave on your own.

  Tensley Evans : I can't. I can't go back, please. You don't understand.

  Marvin Exley : What, Tensley? What don't we understand?

  Tensley Evans : Doesn't matter. Whatever I say, he'll just twist it around.

  Amanda Rollins : Who's "he"?

  Tensley Evans : I can't say. Please, don't make me say.

  Amanda Rollins : We can't help you if you don't say.

  Tensley Evans : The psych director, Jim Durant, but he'll just deny it.

  Amanda Rollins : Deny what?

  Tensley Evans : At first, he was really nice. He listened to me and he even let me lay down on his couch in his office whenever I was overwhelmed, but I should've known what he wanted. By now, I should know how all men are.
