Haley's Dad: She didn't even have a boyfriend. She was at that in between age, you know, she had crushes but music was her first love. Beethoven was her first language. She was winning international competitions at six, she was a Clive Turner finalist at ten... she was gonna be somebody, not like my wife and I who spent our whole lives in a small town.
Stone: What was your relationship with her like?
Haley's Dad: We butted heads sometimes. She teased me about my fingernails being dirty and me being a garbage man, but I loved her. My wife and I loved her from the bottom of our hearts.
Stone: Thank you. Your witness.
Defense attorney: No questions for this witness. No disrespect, but there's no body.

Stone: Are you always this persistent?
Benson: Just wait til you get to know me.

She's my little girl, okay? She's out there somewhere! She's cold! She's alone!

Haley's Dad

Haley's Dad: Okay. So I want to talk to him. I want to look at the son of a bitch in an eye and -
Benson: I'm afraid that's not possible.
Haley's Dad: So what are we supposed to? Just sit around doing nothing, waiting by the phone?
Benson: We're doing everything we can.
Haley's Dad: Not good enough! I want you to promise me you'll find her.
Rollins: We want to be realistic here.
Haley's Dad: NO! Haley needs me! I'm the only one keeping her alive!

Rollins: This is an active crime scene. I don't want anyone in or out. I want CSU to check the bathroom and the tub.
Carisi: You're gonna have to come down with us to the station.
Vince: Why? What's going on?
Rollins: You're gonna tell us what the hell happened to Hadley Sadler, that's what's going on.

Vince: Okay look, she's sixteen, we didn't do anything. Nothing happened.
Rollins: Where did this nothing happen?
Vince: We went back to my apartment, she passed out on my couch, so whatever she said happened, she's lying.

Okay, look, she is sixteen years old. Best case scenario, she met a guy and lost track of time. Worst case scenario... let's not go there.

Benson

Well, we can't have that! What are you, 15?
Haley Sixteen. Sweet Sixteen.

Haley Oh! You're scaring me. Clown Mask Guy

Under the cold hard facts, she broke the law, but as Judge Goldfarb will instruct you, breaking the law is permissible in the case of necessity. And this is the definition of necessity.

Defense attorney

When the law is wrong, when the law is harmful, we have to find the courage to disobey it.

Franchella

Stone: I feel like a priest today, everyone unloading their guilt.
Benson: Well, that should tell you something. This wasn't police business.
