• Olivia Benson : Mr. and Mrs. Mesner, your daughter is not safe.

  Tom Mesner : We've taken precautions. We've locked up all the sharp objects. Henry will never be left alone with Ruby again.

  Olivia Benson : And how can you be sure? Nannies need breaks. Everyone does.

  Viola Mesner : I'll be here. I've taken a leave of absence from work. I will be here to make sure Henry gets all the attention and the love he needs.

  Amanda Rollins : The D.A., I'm not sure she's gonna let this slide.

  Tom Mesner : Oh, she'll have to. I spoke to another parent who's an attorney. He said that if the DA decides to press charges, he'd sue the city for free.

  Olivia Benson : Mr. Mesner, I don't think you understand.

  Tom Mesner : Oh, I think I completely understand what you're saying.

  Viola Mesner : Tom, no, please. Detectives, we... we don't want you to have to come back. We will take care of Henry. We give you our word.

• Viola Mesner : It's past bedtime.

  Henry Mesner : But I'm not tired.

  Viola Mesner : Henry, it's late.

  Henry Mesner : I said I'm not tired.

  Viola Mesner : Lie down and I'm gonna give you kisses.

  Henry Mesner : [pulls out a knife]  I said no.

  Viola Mesner : Henry, you give me that knife right now.

  [Henry hands the knife over to his mother, but then uses it to cut her hand]
