Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : [to Cragen while Olivia and Ms. Pond are sitting in a jail cell] What are you waiting for? Spring us.
Captain Donald Cragen : After I'm done savoring the moment.
Miranda Pond : This is your boss?
Olivia Benson : Yeah, he's very supportive.
-
Miranda Pond : [to Copeland] You just gambled with my client's life.
Samantha Copeland : Kim was a first-time, non-violent juvenile offender. The worst I thought she'd get was probation.
Olivia Benson : Yeah? Well, she's going to prison. Five hundred miles away. If something happens to that girl, it's on you.
Miranda Pond : How are you going to fix it?
Samantha Copeland : I don't know what I can do.
Olivia Benson : Talk to the judge. Have her reconsider.
Samantha Copeland : I have other cases in Judge Marsden's court. If I challenge this decision, she's going to make my life a living hell.
Miranda Pond : She's not the only one. I'm filing a 440 motion to vacate the conviction & sentencing and I'm reporting you to the Bar.
-
Judge Hilda Marsden : [to Olivia and Ms. Pond] Why are you so hot for my sentencing stats just hours after I sent your child pornographer away?
Miranda Pond : With all due respect, Your Honor, we're just trying to understand your reasoning behind sending Kimberly Garnet to Wellsburg.
Judge Hilda Marsden : Oh, well, it's the best alternative. There's no facility with available beds in New York for sex offenders and she's a sex offender.
Olivia Benson : She's not a sex offender and you're ruining her life.
Judge Hilda Marsden : You know, I am so tired of these kids waltzing in here thinking they can do whatever the hell they want and get away with it. Someone has to take a stand.
Olivia Benson : Is that it? Or do you just get off on the power?
Miranda Pond : Olivia...
Judge Hilda Marsden : Mock me again, Olivia and I'll hold you in contempt.
Olivia Benson : How? I thought this was just a friendly chat.
Judge Hilda Marsden : That's it!
Miranda Pond : Your Honor, you don't have the authority to sanction Detective Benson.
Judge Hilda Marsden : Watch this.
[to the bailiff]
Judge Hilda Marsden : Officer? Take Detective Benson and Ms. Pond down to the lockup. They're in contempt.
[as Olivia and Ms. Pond are taken out of the courtroom]
Judge Hilda Marsden : Have a nice day, ladies.
-
Samantha Copeland : [to Kim] You think these pictures made him angry? One day, he's going to go too far and kill you.
[to Kim's parents]
Samantha Copeland : You'll be saying goodbye to your daughter on a slab in the city morgue.
Olivia Benson : [to Kim's parents] Excuse us. Excuse us for one second, please.
[she and Copeland leave the room]
Olivia Benson : [to Copeland] What are you doing? That girl is a victim. Browbeating her is not the answer.
Samantha Copeland : Then we'll arrest her.
Olivia Benson : Arrest her? For what?
Samantha Copeland : Possession and distribution of kiddie porn. A couple of days in jail, she'll turn around.
Olivia Benson : Are you out of your mind?
Samantha Copeland : That girl broke the law when she sent naked pictures of herself.
Olivia Benson : I'm not collaring a victim to make her talk.
Samantha Copeland : Arrest her or I'll find someone who will and I'll report you to Internal Affairs for failure to take police action.
-
Miranda Pond : [to Kim] Kimberly, you can't let him do this to you anymore.
Kim Garnet : [referring to Olivia] Now she's on her side.
Olivia Benson : Kim, we're all on your side.
Kim Garnet : Then leave me alone.
Olivia Benson : I can't do that.
Kim Garnet : Get out.
Mrs. Garnet : Kim...
Kim Garnet : I want her out of here now!
