Guy: I don't like tourists.
Rollins: What does that mean?
Guy: Honey, he's so far in the closet he's gone past Narnia.

Fin: What's the new Dep Chief's deal?
Benson: He's young, he's new, he's Ivy League educated.
Fin: So why's he a cop?

Ken: I shouldn't even be telling you this much, but these men have wives.
Fin: They're on the down low. That's why he's targeting them. He knows they won't want to talk. Tell them we'll try to keep their case as confidential as possible.
Ken: I'm their advocate, not yours.

Benson [on phone]: Fin. I just heard from Mercy Hospital. Another black male, gay, tased.
Fin: Did he report?
Benson: No.
Fin: What are we supposed to do about it?

Fin: Okay. I see what you did there. You stay out of the way and just let the vic talk.
Therapist: Yes. Sometimes this can bring up feelings you may not want to feel.
Fin: It's okay. I still know they're there.

Benson: Tell me about your family.
Reagan: So this is what this is about? You're mad because I exaggerated a few details? So what? Real life is boring. My version is more exciting. You know what? I thought I could trust you.
Benson: Reagan -
Reagan: I was raped! Screw you!

Benson: Reagan, you didn't want to go to Mount Siani. Can you tell me why?
Reagan: My fiance is doing his residency there.
Benson: So you're engaged?
Reagan: He doesn't like me partying. He'd be mad. He has anger management issues.

Reagan: Well that sucked.
Benson: I'm so sorry.
Reagan: It's not your fault. I hate when people say that. Can I go home?

Fin: Here she is. Hey Captain!
Rollins: Do we throw you a party?
Benson: That isn't necessary. And if you really want to make me happy, sign up for your trauma informed interview training.

Benson: Okay... I came to and he was still in my apartment. I could hear him breathing.
Therapist: Olivia. You ask victims to go back to a place they'd rather not be when they are at their most vulnerable.
Benson: Okay. I felt him... um... pull off the duct tape and it was burning. And I thought... I'm a cop. How could I have let my guard down?

Benson: Thank you for seeing me after hours.
Woman: Thank you for making the time.
Benson: I didn't really have a choice. I was told it was mandatory. [sits down] So I have investigated sexual assaults for 20 years and I'm pretty familiar with trauma-oriented interviewing.
Woman: This part of the training involves role play. So can you think of a trauma, something that happened in your own life?
Benson [laughing a little]: Trauma?
Woman: Maybe something that's on your mind, that you can't stop thinking about.
Benson: Okay... I'm ready.

Guys like this, they rule by fear. Nobody really likes them.
