Maya: Yusef is my brother. But Lela is mistaken. He use to have a key but when he stopped working for us a month ago -
Lela: We need to find out what happened.
Maya: I will do the talking for this family.

Woman: I was helpless in my own restaurant and my daughters... after they left, I broke free. I saw Shanta was dead.
Benson: I'm so sorry. Do you need to take a break? Maybe drink some water?
Woman: One of the men, they whispered.
Benson: That's helpful to know. Do you remember what they whispered?
[Doctor enters]
Doctor: Excuse me. I need to speak to Mrs. Samra.
Mrs. Samra: Is it my daughter? Is she -
Doctor: No, she's going to be fine. But it's your husband.

Carisi: Hey. We have two raped 18-year-olds and a murder. We have to rule out certain things, like were they involved in any criminal activity. Drugs, gangs, anything like that. I didn't say anything about terrorism.
Man: I'm so sick of the harassment. Even the Hispanics hate us know. They blame us for the raids, the deportations. Is it our fault they don't have proper papers?

Dodds: This kind of hatred... this is 2017. It shouldn't be happening.
Benson: It's happening everywhere, Chief.
Dodds: Well, it shouldn't be happening in New York.

Rollins: This poor girl here. They really did a number on her.
Carisi: They cleaned out the wall safe and the cash register.
Benson: This looks like more than a robbery gone bad.
Rollins [very quiet]: Yeah.

Dirty Muslim bitch. [lifts her shirt] Mmm... this is gonna be good.

Masked Assailant

Benson: There goes our case.
Barba: Man plans, God laughs.
Benson: Yeah, well there's nothing funny about Reverend Gary. Or rape for religious reasons.

Lydia: It's all my fault. If Lucas hadn't seen us together, Anne would not have been raped.
Olivia: Lydia. This is not your fault.
Lydia: Oh, that's right. It's God's fault.

He said, she said, God said. I don't want God to get the last word.

Anne: My mother thinks I'm napping. She's afraid I'll go to see Lydia.
Olivia: Do you want to see Lydia?
Anne: Lydia's a good person, even if she's... um...
Olivia: Homosexual? You're a good person too.
Anne: Man's law and God's law say two different things and I don't know which to believe.
Olivia: Maybe you don't need to know. You just need to tell the truth.
Anne: About my feelings for Lydia or what Lucas did to me?
Olivia: You know, Anne, I believe in God too. I don't know what He has planned for you or me or anybody. But I do know one thing. What Lucas did to you was wrong.

Lucas: She was assaulted. Is that what she said happened?
Carisi: No. That is what happened. She was raped.
Lucas: No it wasn't. I would never rape anyone. It was curative intercourse. I was saving her soul.

Anne: I would never have sex with a boy.
Olivia: Because you're a lesbian?
Anne: No! Yes I have feelings for Lydia but... I'm saving myself for marriage. I'm a virgin. Or I was.
Olivia: Honey, listen to me. If you didn't want to have sex with that boy, it's rape.
