Mariska Hargitay: Detective Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Elliot Stabler : [after Dickie is found assaulting a homeless man]  I'm taking him home.

  Olivia Benson : Elliot. Elliot, stop. Your son just assaulted a man with a 2-x-4. There's no way that he's going home. Don't make this worse than it already is.

• Dickie Stabler : [to Olivia]  I'm not stupid. I know where you're going. My dad does this all the time when he's trying to get personal. How about you? Ever sleep with your partner, Detective?

  Olivia Benson : Never. Are we done playing games?

• Olivia Benson : [recounting a victim's story about being raped in a bathroom]  I can tell you right now that no girl has ever wanted her first time to be next to a toilet.

• Olivia Benson : [to Cabot]  You're so busy telling us how to do our jobs, you forgot to do your own.

  Alexandra Cabot : Did you talk to Nikki Sherman?

  Olivia Benson : Damn right. I put in a formal request for a new A.D.A.

  Alexandra Cabot : On what grounds?

  Olivia Benson : Professional ethics. You sacrificed a rape victim to save your own ass.

• Olivia Benson : [to Danny Proctor]  Hope that's soda you're guzzling.

  Danny Proctor : I already have a mom, bitch.

• Olivia Benson : [after a scandalous picture of Nikki Sherman is discovered on the Internet]  This doesn't mean that she wasn't raped.

  Odafin Tutuola : You think the jury's going to buy her story or this photo?

• Alexandra Cabot : You have just shown me a photo that is going to make the jury think that our rape victim is a liar. What are you going to do about that?

  Olivia Benson : Question Nikki about it.

  Alexandra Cabot : Don't bother. I will do the interview myself.

  Elliot Stabler : That's up to you. The State Bar's not breathing down my neck.

  Alexandra Cabot : Because you missed the photo.

  Elliot Stabler : All right.

  Alexandra Cabot : I don't suppose you forgot Nikki's recant statement as well.

  Elliot Stabler : No, Counselor, not a chance.

  Alexandra Cabot : We are being watched. Anything you do against protocol stacks the deck.

  Elliot Stabler : You don't get it. I don't care.
