Quotes 

• Detective Olivia Benson : [Benson and Stabler interview a newsstand owner who saw the woman who anonymously reported a rape in progress from a payphone]  Could you describe her to a police sketch artist?

  George : I didn't get a look at her face. I was too busy trying to get Ginger into the car.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Do you remember what she was wearing?

  George : Oh, yeah. A black sweater and black slacks and thong panties.

  Detective Olivia Benson : You didn't get a look at her face, but you know she was wearing thong panties?

  George : I saw the panty-line. She had a nice ass which was more interesting to me then her face.

  George : [Benson and Stabler both throw him a "give me a break" look]  I'm an ass man! I don't apologize for it.

• Harper Anderson : I don't expect anything from you.

  Detective Olivia Benson : We did everything that we could. You couldn't ID him, so we couldn't hold him.

  Harper Anderson : You could have followed him. You knew he would rape again.

  Detective Olivia Benson : I'd like to follow every guy that I know that has a propensity to rape.

  Harper Anderson : Poor police. So overworked!

  Detective Olivia Benson : Harper, you're not equipped to deal with this.

  Harper Anderson : I'm equipped. I don't approach him. I'm doing what any private investigator would do and I don't need a license to do it for myself.

  Detective Olivia Benson : You're harassing his wife.

  Harper Anderson : Give me a break! She's enabling a rapist. And you're too busy to deal with him, so I will.

• [after listening to the 911 call] 

  Detective Olivia Benson : So, maybe two witnesses.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Three, if you count the dog.

• Harper Anderson : [to Olivia]  You think I'm Velma Vigilante stalking Cleary, waiting for the perfect moment to shoot him? That's not who I am.

  Detective Olivia Benson : You're not the same person I knew six months ago.

  Harper Anderson : I was a rape victim when you met me. I finally have control over my life back. I'm not interested in revenge. I'm not even interested in justice anymore.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Then why follow Cleary?

  Harper Anderson : Because I'm afraid of him and he's the last thing I'm afraid of. If I can get over that, I will have my life back completely.
