Alexis: This is crazy. Those trips to Bangalore, I was with her. We went for my grandmother's 99th birthday. Three weeks later she died. We went back for the funeral. Why isn't anyone reporting that?

PR Guy: Terrorist or not, I'm not surprised that Tara lost it mid-air.
Benson: Why?
PR Guy: Because she'd been spiraling for months.
Benson: Then why would you ever put her on a plane?

Rollins: I always thought airport jails were a myth.
Security agent: We use them more than you'd think. Just sorry you had to schlep all the way out here.
Benson: You don't believe her?

Benson: I think if Noah and I have to spend another day together, we'll both need straitjackets.

Barba: I don't know.
