McCoy: I made a promise to my first wife never to eat at my desk. Sit.

Benson: You don't have to prosecute.
Barba: If I don't, I'm saying that baby Drew doesn't have any rights.
Rollins: What about his right to die?
Carisi: Unfortunately, that is not in the Constitution.
Maggie: He can't see. He can't here. Look at him. He is all but dead already.
Aaron: You saw him. You can't tell me he's nothing.

Rollins: To kill your son.
Maggie: To end his suffering.
Aaron: I said STOP!
Benson: Yeah? Well, what are you gonna do?
Aaron: I'll shoot!
Benson: I'm a cop, and I know you're not a killer. And I know a paintball gun when I see one.
Benson: I talked to Maggie.
Aaron: How is she doing?
Benson: Honestly, she's not doing great. You took her baby.
Aaron: I didn't want to hurt her. I just wanted to spend time alone with my son.
Benson: I understand. Sometimes that's all I want to do too, but unfortunately the world doesn't work that way.
Aaron: There are so many cops out there...
Benson: I know. Tell you what. I know we can figure this out. How about I come in there an we talk face to face? [cops point guns]
Cop: I got a clear shot!
Benson: No guns! Stand down! That's an order!
Aaron: Okay. Just you. No weapons.
Benson: Okay. We can do that.
Fin: What are you doing? He's got a gun. Liv, do not go in there!
Maggie: When he was two months old, Aaron noticed he was struggling to breathe. He has mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. It's a genetic thing.
Benson: So soon Drew won't be able to breathe on his own.

Typical Tuesday afternoon. The mom goes out to do her nails and do some shopping, dad comes home, duct tapes the sitter and takes their 10-month old son.

Martha: How dare you question my integrity?
Benson: Then how about you drop the armor? Can you stop talking to me like a media personality and talk to me like a human being? Can we just talk?
Benson: How bad was it?
Barba: Bad. The Titanic meets the Heisenberg meets my first day of Little League.
Barba: Well, she doesn't present as a typical rape victim.
Benson: Meaning? [pause] Martha Cobb has made a career out of playing fast and loose with the facts.
Barba: Fact: she was raped.
Benson: Yes, but that doesn't mean she should be endowed with sainthood.
Barba: Here we go.
I learned a long time ago, in this job it doesn't make sense to play politics.
