Quotes 

• Casey Novak : How'd it go?

  Olivia Benson : Great. I love putting eight-year-olds in lockup overnight.

• Olivia Benson : Here's your proof that Sean's a bully. "I wanna teach you a game after school. It might hurt, but it'll cure you from being a queer." Does that sound like a sweet kid? And that's not the worst of 'em. You know that I have to share this with the Defense. The minute that I do, Sean's credibility goes right out the window and so does yours.

  A.D.A. Garrett Gillespie : Your Honor, The People request a half hour recess.

• Emma Boyd : I didn't do anything.

  Olivia Benson : Emma, even if it was an accident, you need to tell us. We know that school's been tough lately and kids can be really cruel.

  Elliot Stabler : Is that what happened with you and Sean? Did he say something mean?

  Emma Boyd : He said I was a freak, and I was gonna go to hell.

  Elliot Stabler : Why?

  Emma Boyd : Because I have two moms instead of a mom and a dad.

  Zoe Dunlop : Sweetie, we talked about this, didn't we? What did we say?

  Emma Boyd : Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words may never hurt me.

  Olivia Benson : Emma, Charlie lied to us. We know that he drove Sean to the hospital. Now, if you don't tell us the truth, he's gonna get in a lot of trouble.

  Emma Boyd : I am telling you the truth!

  Zoe Dunlop : Detective, Emma didn't hurt Sean, just like she's never hurt any of the other kids who are mean to her at school.

• Elliot Stabler : Emma would've been much better off if Zoe had just gone along with Kate's lie to the school.

  Olivia Benson : You think Zoe should stay in the closet just to make a bunch of homophobes happy?

  Elliot Stabler : You don't send your kid to military school if you're a pacifist. Not without expecting some friction.

  Olivia Benson : So you agree with the school.

  Elliot Stabler : I'm just saying it's complicated. Being Catholic means believing in certain things.

• Olivia Benson : [to Emma]  We know what Sean really did to you.

  Zoe Dunlop : What did he do? Emma, what happened? You've been lying to Mommy Zoe?

  Emma Boyd : [in tears]  Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't... I didn't mean to hurt Sean. It's just, he kept yelling, saying, "You're a dyke! You're a dyke!" And I told him I'm not. And he said, "prove it." And then he went to kiss me, so I pushed him away. And then he grabbed me and cut off my hair. And said, "Yes, you're a dyke and now you look like one." I was so mad. I was so ugly. I grabbed the scissors, and I hurt him in the back with them. He fell down and hit his head.

• James Decker : Detectives, sorry to catch you so late. You need to remove Emma from Zoe Dunlop's custody.

  Donald Cragen : Mr. Decker, custody matters belong in family court. Unless there's been a crime, it's out of our hands.

  James Decker : Zoe Dunlop has been sexually abusing Emma ever since Kate got sick.

  Elliot Stabler : We're gonna have to hear that from Emma.

  James Decker : You will. She's at the hospital with her mother right now. You can't let her go home with Zoe.

  Olivia Benson : We've never heard any allegations before. It's a pretty big coincidence that this comes out just after Zoe gets custody.

  James Decker : Emma showed this to her grandparents.

  James Decker : Why does a grown woman take pictures of herself in bed with a naked 8-year-old girl?
