Thursdays 9:00 PM on NBCLaw & Order: SVU Quotes
Maxwell: Ah, Maddie. She made me feel alive. She was so sweet, so beautiful.
Rollins: Sounds like you had a thing for her.
Maxwell: I loved her.
Christine: She's not usually like this. Did something happen?
Rollins: Well, she wasn't raped yesterday. I don't know how or when, but yes, something's wrong.
Okay, the thing is, you work with someone for seven years, you expect a goodbye.
Rollins
Rollins: You're a good daughter.
Christine: Am I? Did I do it for her, or did I do it for me? She's my mom. I feel like I put her in an $18,000/month garbage heap because I didn't want to deal with her.
Carisi: I'm gonna need a list of your employees.
Nursing Home Director: They've all been screened.
Carisi: I still need to see them, just in case.
Nurse: Perfect timing.
Woman: Oh no, I took that already.
Nurse: No, that was yesterday.
Woman:Yesterday?
Nurse: Yes. Yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday.
Woman: Are you sure?
Nurse: I never forget Friday.
Woman: So today is Friday.
Nurse: Yes.
Woman: I was raped.
Benson: I thought we were like family. So why do I have to hear this from Dodds?
Fin: Dodds has a big mouth.
Benson: Fin. It doesn't excuse what he did to Tiana, but Malik was brutalized too.
Fin: You and I both know it's not what happens to you that matters, it's how you deal with it.
Benson: Go home, Fin.
Fin: And what, talk to my parakeet?
Listen to me. You can be whatever you want to be. I know Malik is your family. But just because he is your family doesn't mean he wants what's best for you.
Benson
When I was 13, all I wanted was a puppy. But then we never had enough money. No movies, no going out, Malik said we couldn't afford it. I couldn't sleep at night, worrying about what might happen if we couldn't make our rent. I just wanted the bad stuff to go away for a little while.
Tiana
Benson: So Malik trafficked his mother too?
Fin: And they're both blaming it on Tiana.
Benson: Man, that family's had it rough.
Fin: No different than any other family growing up in the Projects. Some make it out, some don't. But we all make our own choices.
Benson: Actually, you do have a choice, Tiana. Either you go back to child services or we can arrest you right now.
Tiana: You too? So all that nice lady, trying to be my friend was BS? You don't care about me! You don't want to help me. I know my brother loves me!
