Lakira: You're too late. Dakota's dead.
Kat: What? What happened?
Lakira: I don't know. They won't even tell me. They say I'm not her family. I'm her family.

Benson: What happened to you?
Barth: Excuse me?
Benson: You were a judge. You had respect for the legal system. You had compassion for victims.
Barth: I still do.
Benson: No, you don't. You're letting a rapist like Sir Toby use you.

If this is what it's like having a teenager, I'm never gonna be ready.

Rollins

Andre? That boy saw his father get shot. No child should ever see that.

Fin

Benson: Hey. He's not gonna get away with this.
Carisi: He already has.

Noah: Are they still going to drop the ball?
Benson: Of course they are.
Noah: If there's going to be nobody here, why are they putting those [barriers] up?
Benson: They're just setting up. Hey Noah, we're gonna watch the ball drop on TV just like any other year.
Noah: No, it's not. I just want this year to be over.

Rollins: What is it?
Carisi: Amber Alert. 13-year-old girl taken a block from Gracie Mansion.
Rollins: SVU requested. So this is how 2021 begins.

Benson: Do you have a boyfriend? Like Chile?
Nidia: Chile is a pimp! That's disgusting. No, I'm in love. With AJ.

Nidia's father: She seemed happy. Before the Sharmas, she was in a group home. Between her mother's problems with drugs and my chair... it's all my fault.
Fin: Never apologize for wearing the cloth, soldier.

Barba: Carisi won't have the stomach to take this to trial.
Fin: As long as Mickey doesn't go to jail.
Barba: I feel for him, I really do. But he shot a suspect who was under arrest. The government frowns on that. And it's against the law.
Benson: Barba. That's why we called you.

I hope your strategy isn't to countenance vigilante murder of a man accused of rape. Given our country's dark history, we both know where that could lead.

Garland

I consider myself a nice guy. But I'm not always going to be nice in here. Sometimes I'm going to be loud, angry, as I cross examine witnesses from the VA and NYPD that failed to do their jobs. Anyone have a problem with that?

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.
