Quotes
-
Amanda Rollins : [to Mackenzie's biological father] Are you stuck on stupid, Marcus?
-
Garrett Howard : [When Garrett doesn't want to know who the father of Mackenzie's baby is] I loved Mack's mom, I love Mack. I'm in this for the long haul and the last thing we need is some stranger butting in and demanding rights that he doesn't deserve. Look, this is what Mackenzie wants!
Amanda Rollins : Mackenzie's a child. She doesn't know what she wants.
-
Mackenzie Tolliver : [When Mackenzie is being questioned about the father of her baby] Why do you even care? I'm old enough to make my own decisions.
Amanda Rollins : No one is saying you're not. We're concerned though and your stepfather's concerned.
Olivia Benson : Listen, we just want what's best for you.
-
Olivia Benson : Hey, Stone got the motion put on tomorrow's calendar.
Amanda Rollins : Good for you.
Olivia Benson : Well, don't be so excited about it.
Amanda Rollins : What I meant was, Liv, is it's good for you. I'm not so sure how good it is for Mackenzie.
Olivia Benson : There's a chance that we're looking at statutory rape.
Amanda Rollins : There's a chance we're not. I mean, Dreyfus offered up his DNA. Well, what can I say? It makes my skin crawl a little bit thinking about a court violating a minor's privacy. You know, because let's say for the sake of argument that the father is Zack or Jake or some other middle schooler. Why ruin his life too?
Olivia Benson : I didn't know a baby ruined anyone's life.
Amanda Rollins : You know what I mean. You know, maybe she... she's... she's keeping the burden off another 13-year-old. Maybe she's being righteous by by keeping him in the dark.
Olivia Benson : And if it's a 40-year-old drama teacher?
Amanda Rollins : I mean, did you? Did I what? Yeah, when you were pregnant, did you let the father know before you...
Olivia Benson : Before I what?
Amanda Rollins : You're making me say it? We were standing right here and you told me that you had an abortion.
Olivia Benson : I... I never said that.
Amanda Rollins : So I dreamt it?
Olivia Benson : No, Amanda, what I said was is that regret can be an awful thing to live with and so you assumed...
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, and you let me.
Olivia Benson : I did, and I'm sorry, Amanda. It's just... it's a very complicated story and I didn't want to get into it.
Amanda Rollins : So it's a privacy thing, which... which was my argument to begin with in this conversation.
-
Garrett Howard : Is she okay?
Amanda Rollins : She's fine, considering.
Garrett Howard : Did she say who the father was?
Amanda Rollins : She said it's a man that she met at Whole Foods. She doesn't know his name.
Garrett Howard : That's ridiculous.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I know. She's... she's covering for somebody.
Garrett Howard : Why would she do that?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Because she's 13 years old and this is a lot to handle.
-
Mackenzie Tolliver : He was just some guy.
Amanda Rollins : What was his name?
Mackenzie Tolliver : I don't know. I was buying yogurt in Whole Foods. We started talking. It was only one time in his car.
Amanda Rollins : So he's old enough to drive.
Mackenzie Tolliver : You don't understand. I wanted to; he didn't force me or anything like that.
Amanda Rollins : Listen, Mackenzie, if he was a grown man... it's not okay.
-
Father Edwin Mayberry : This is middle school. Our biggest problems are cyberbullying and texting, not teen pregnancy.
Amanda Rollins : Well, unfortunately, that's where we are. Now what can you tell us about Mackenzie?
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You ever work one-on-one with Mackenzie?
Quentin Dreyfus : Alone? Yeah, sure. I read lines with her. I do with all the students.
Amanda Rollins : Maybe a little more often with Mackenzie?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, what with her being a natural and all.
Quentin Dreyfus : You're kidding me, right? I would think a couple of detectives would see right through student gossip. Hormones set teenage fantasies flying.
Amanda Rollins : This may be a little more than fantasy, Mr. Dreyfus.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Mackenzie Tolliver is pregnant.
Quentin Dreyfus : She's only 13.
[realizing]
Quentin Dreyfus : Oh, my god. You think that I'm the father.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Is there a reason that we shouldn't?
-
Quentin Dreyfus : I've been at Saint Matthew's for eight years. Why would I do something like this now?
Amanda Rollins : One of the great mysteries of life.
-
Lola : Who are you?
Amanda Rollins : NYPD. I need to talk to Marcus Tolliver.
Lola : Never heard of him.
Marcus Tolliver : [in another room] Lola, I need a lighter.
Amanda Rollins : [pushing her way past] Shall I introduce you?
-
Olivia Benson : This is preposterous. So the law doesn't care how sick this is.
Peter Stone : Look, bottom line, to a jury, Garrett's just an irate father who confronted the man he thought was sleeping with his stepdaughter.
Amanda Rollins : Even though he's the one that was raping her.
Olivia Benson : Yeah, it's not statutory rape if they're married.
Amanda Rollins : Bet you thought you'd never say that.
