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!

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.
