Stephen Tobolowsky: Mr. Kayman

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, you should know that your baby will be born in prison.

  Garrett Howard : Stop!

  Mr. Kayman : Don't say anything!

  Garrett Howard : I killed Dreyfus. I had to.

  Mackenzie Tolliver : No, you didn't! He wasn't going to say anything!

  Garrett Howard : You should never have told him about us.

  Mackenzie Tolliver : He was my friend. After the cops talked to him, they told him I was pregnant. He came to me, he was worried about me, but he promised not to say anything.

  Garrett Howard : I lost your mother. I couldn't take the chance that anyone would find out about us.

  Olivia Benson : But your marriage was legal. There's nothing to be ashamed of, unless...

  Garrett Howard : I am not ashamed! You look at her. How could you not fall in love with someone so beautiful and so sweet? An angel sent from heaven to bless my life, to bless me, and look at us now. Your stupid laws have ruined us. My whole life I've searched for real love, and I found it. What was I supposed to do?

  Olivia Benson : Waiting 'til she was 18 would've been a good start.

• Mr. Kayman : About that deal?

  Peter Stone : Man one, he does 20.

  Mr. Kayman : Max is 25.

  Peter Stone : Take it or I'll add statutory rape.

  Mr. Kayman : You... you can't prove that.

  Peter Stone : There's no spousal privilege when child abuse is involved.

  Olivia Benson : [to Garrett]  What jury is going to believe that you waited until you were married to sleep with someone that you loved so much?

  [opening the door to let patrol cops in] 

  Olivia Benson : Get this douche out of here.

• Mr. Kayman : Obviously he was under extreme emotional distress.

  Peter Stone : I can't go lower than man two.

  Mr. Kayman : How much?

  Peter Stone : Two years, one probation.

  Mr. Kayman : You're kidding!

  Olivia Benson : He killed a man.

  Mr. Kayman : And what jury is going to convict him? Thanks, but no thanks.

• Mr. Kayman : Well, this is a bit awkward.

  Peter Stone : Objecting without grounds usually is.

• Judge Joan Calahan : They're married?

  Mr. Kayman : Under Missouri law, it's perfectly legal. The duly authorized license is attached to our papers.

  Judge Joan Calahan : I saw it. That doesn't mean I believe it. And I hope one of you will tell me why I don't have to give full faith and credit to our sister state's law.

• Mr. Kayman : Okay, we're here. Why? You got me. It's too late for a deal, Stone.

  Peter Stone : I'm considering dropping the charges against your client.

  Garrett Howard : Thank you.

  Mr. Kayman : Yeah, no thanks necessary. He wasn't going to win anyway.

  Peter Stone : I'm charging you, Mackenzie.

  Mackenzie Tolliver : What?

  Garrett Howard : You can't do that.

  Olivia Benson : Actually, he can. Mackenzie, you're the one who put the false idea in Garrett's head that you were sleeping with Mr. Dreyfus.

  Peter Stone : And it's completely foreseeable that a stepfather would take vengeance against the man sexually preying on his stepdaughter.

  Olivia Benson : Especially when the two of you are so close.
