Apparently I'm better at talking to psychopaths than teenage girls.

Rollins

At least he's consistent. Nick had a vision and Beth thinks he's the Second Coming.

Benson

Benson: Mrs. Lee. Claire. I need you to listen to me now. This man changed his name and joined your church because he was targeting Beth from the moment he saw her.
Claire: No. You're wrong.
Benson: I know this is a lot to take in -
Claire: He wasn't targeting her. He was targeting me. My husband can never know, but Luke and I are very much in love.

Cop: They just let some guy take their 14-year-old for the week?
Rollins: Yeah.
Cop: Wouldn't have happened in my house.

Fin: Fathers worry. She's been gone over a week. That's a long time.
Mr. Lee: Beth felt called to go. Her mother said yes. I was Zooming 10 hours a day. I didn't have time to pay attention. Oh God, what have I done?

She goes to school, she goes to work, she's a good girl.

Mr. Lee

Rollins: When was the last time you saw Nina?
Cora: About 5 years ago. She came around asking for money so she could put another hole in her arm. I told her not to come around here again. I had already lost one daughter and didn't want to lose the other.
Rollins: I'm so sorry.
Cora: Don't be. I ran out of tears for her a long time ago.

I wish I had more, but these bones have told me all they can tell me. The baton passes back to you to find out what happened to her.

ME

I couldn't keep her room the same, you know, a little girl's room. Grief wasn't meant to stay fixed.

Aretha's mother

Rollins: So after 9/11, the case was put on the back burner?
Cop: More like pushed off the stove. There were cases before and after, but during? There were so many tragedies that just got forgotten about.

We just got back from a week in Orlando. Made me long for the days of Com Stad meetings.

Garland

Raelynn: When I told the cop six years ago, he looked me in the eye and said that he had real rapes to deal with. Because apparently since my rape wasn't completed, it didn't count. They didn't send me for a rape kit or anything.
Benson: I'm sorry. I hear that more often than I should. Attempted rapes are just as serious as completed rapes.

Law & Order: SVU Quotes

Benson: Thank you for coming forward.
Woman: What this company is doing, the way it treats women pilots, is despicable. But what you're doing... it's about damn time.

We have two options. One is bad. The other is worse. Either we missed one or... Yeats has a copycat.
