Quotes 

• Lillian Rice : I want my lawyer now.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Of course you do. Okay. Well, while you're waiting for him, I'm gonna go talk to Becca.

  Lillian Rice : She a minor, you can't talk to her without my permission.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, really? See, that would be true if she was a suspect, but she's not. She's a witness. I can talk to her all I want.

• A.D.A. Casey Novak : [as Trevor and Lillian are walking into Casey's office]  No deal.

  Trevor Langan : Face it. Your case is going down in flames.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Don't be so proud of yourself, Trevor. You attacked a vulnerable young girl.

  Lillian Rice : Becca's a very troubled girl. She's always had difficulty telling the truth. She's exaggerated her drinking problem to gain sympathy.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : So, your daughter's not an alcoholic.

  Lillian Rice : Absolutely not. I live with her, I would know.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : What planet are you on? She's in rehab!

  Lillian Rice : Those places say everyone's an addict. I love chocolate. Maybe I should check in.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : That's a great idea, you might get some insight into your own problems.

  Trevor Langan : [partially inaudible]  That's it.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : [as Trevor and Lillian turn around and leave]  Like why you have sex with teenage boys or why you're so desperate to be liked or buy your kid's friendship with alcohol. It's pathetic!

• Lillian Rice : [to Stabler]  Where's your partner?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : We don't always do interviews together.

  Lillian Rice : You two an item? I noticed you didn't wear a wedding ring.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Maybe you should've been a detective.

• Detective Olivia Benson : [to Lillian after finding her in bed with Jordan]  You're sleeping with a teenage boy.

  Lillian Rice : Jordan's a man. He's 17, it's not a crime.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, it oughta be. You're old enough to be his mother.

  Lillian Rice : Barely. When I was his age, I was pregnant with Becca.

  Detective Olivia Benson : So you're reliving your lost childhood? Is that it?

  Lillian Rice : You don't get it. When was the last time a man your age asked you out?

  Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, we're not talking about me. I'm not the one who's sleeping with a teenager.

  Lillian Rice : It's been awhile since you had a date, hasn't it? That partner of yours is cute, but I bet he likes them younger. My ex sure did. I wasted ten good years on Wally before I found out he was schtupping his secretary. When he ran out on us, I was angry at first. But then I realized, if he could have a younger woman, I could have a younger man.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Your husband leaving you hardly justifies you sleeping with a high school student.

  Lillian Rice : Why are you so bitter? Did someone leave you? Or maybe you had a chance once. Someone wanted to marry you, you thought you wanted something more?

  Detective Olivia Benson : And your "something more" is a teenage boy?

• Detective Olivia Benson : [to Lillian]  So do you sleep with all of Becca's friends or just Jordan?

  Lillian Rice : Go to hell.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Just calling it like I see them. Got an eye full tonight. So did Becca.

  Lillian Rice : Leave my daughter out of this.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Oh, you're the one who put her in the middle when you started screwing her friend.

  Lillian Rice : I told him we had to be careful.

  Detective Olivia Benson : So hold on, let me just get this straight. Out of all the men out there, you picked the one boy that your daughter has a crush on. You know, that looks like you're competing with her.

  Lillian Rice : No, no. It just happened. I never meant for Becca to find out. I wouldn't hurt her in a million years.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Well, then you shouldn't have banged her friend!

• Becca Rice : [after Jordan and Lillian are discovered in bed together by Stabler, Benson and Becca]  What are you doing?

  Lillian Rice : [as she covers herself up]  Don't come in here.

  Becca Rice : [to Jordan]  She's my mom.

  Jordan Owens : And she's hot.
