Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : By the way, keep showing Carisi the ropes. It's really helping.

  Amanda Rollins : That's like my mother telling me I'm really the only that can mop floors, cause she didn't want to do it.

• Amanda Rollins : Were you sick the day that they went over statute of limitations at law school?

  Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : Yeah, yeah, she's 24 which in New York is one year too late to charge statutory rape. Anybody want to explain to me why that law still exists?

  A.D.A. Rafael Barba : You can thank the church lobbyists for that.

• Olivia Benson : [to Rollins after hanging up the phone]  That was Barba. In light of Tensley's latest accusation, the judge just ordered her released into her mother's custody.

  Amanda Rollins : Really? So, she runs away from the scene of an accident, she makes a false accusation against Nick and She just gets sent back to her multi-million dollar penthouse?

  Olivia Benson : Until we follow up on the allegations made against the psych director, yes.

  Amanda Rollins : Jim Durant? He's well-respected. There's no record there. No whispers. She lied about Nick, she's lying about this guy. Yeah, she's just gonna accuse anybody of anything just to get out of here!

  Olivia Benson : Amanda, it sounds like you're taking this a little personally.

• 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.
