Quotes
-
Odafin Tutuola : [watching Kat box] Kat looks good.
Amanda Rollins : Everybody looks good 'til they get popped in the mouth.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Kat threw down. Our girl can fight.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah. She can drink, too, huh?
Odafin Tutuola : That's why I drove her home.
[seeing Kat come in]
Odafin Tutuola : Here she is. Rocky Tamin. What's up?
Amanda Rollins : [seeing the bruise around her eye] Ooh, nice shiner.
Katriona Tamin : Uh-huh. You and Carisi were hitting it pretty hard last night. You get home okay?
Amanda Rollins : Eh.
Odafin Tutuola : You had it, rookie, 'til you went to the overhand.
Katriona Tamin : Yeah, yeah. The captain in?
-
Olivia Benson : Barba sends his regards.
Amanda Rollins : How's he doing?
Olivia Benson : He's in Iowa, uh, tilting at windmills. Where's Kat?
Odafin Tutuola : Oh, I let her out early so she could warm up for a boxing match. We're all going, remember?
Olivia Benson : Oh, I totally forgot. Um... uh... I-I have an appointment.
Odafin Tutuola : An appointment?
Amanda Rollins : Let it go, Fin. Meet us after.
Olivia Benson : You know what, I can't. Noah has a rehearsal, but wish Kat good luck for me.
Odafin Tutuola : [watching her leave] She just needs time. She'll be okay.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's the, uh... that's the guy who runs Kat's gym, right?
Katriona Tamin : Romeo Solis. When I got back into boxing a year ago, everyone told me he was the best.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Ah. But?
Amanda Rollins : He may be sexually involved with an underage boxer.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Great. So what's his story?
Odafin Tutuola : No record. Box full of awards and honorary degrees.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Who's the complainant?
Olivia Benson : Well, she hasn't disclosed yet.
Amanda Rollins : So what do you have?
Katriona Tamin : I interrupted her and Romeo behind a locked door. They weren't working out.
Odafin Tutuola : He also set Kat up. He tipped off her opponent to Kat's fight plan.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : So that's why you got tagged.
Katriona Tamin : Look, I might've lost anyway, but he was pretty pissed when I called him out. Had her do his dirty work.
-
Romeo Solís : Maldita perra sucker-punched me, man. No way some chick knocks me out.
Odafin Tutuola : Why were you two going at it?
Romeo Solís : It don't matter. Load of bull anyway.
Odafin Tutuola : She say anything about Cami?
Romeo Solís : Ain't nothing to say.
Odafin Tutuola : Cami said you two are in love.
Romeo Solís : [amused snickering] It's a Mickey Mouse crush, man. My girls mistake mentorship for relationship.
Odafin Tutuola : It's not a mistake when you sleep with 'em and sext 'em.
Romeo Solís : Yo, she's lying. And your girl, Kat, she set me up.
Odafin Tutuola : And why would she do that?
EMT : [putting an oxygen mask on Romeo] My ambulance. Stop talking.
-
Odafin Tutuola : That's not love. That's just rape.
Katriona Tamin : So now we arrest him?
Odafin Tutuola : Well, no. Now we get Romeo's side of the story. You good with that?
Olivia Benson : Yeah, go. Also, I'm gonna need a warrant for their cell phones, his office...
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I got you covered.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Lot of people here. Kat any good?
Odafin Tutuola : She could whip your ass, counselor.
Amanda Rollins : Do we know anything about this opponent?
Santos Morales : Hell, yeah. It's my daughter. Esperanza Morales, huh? Most knockouts in the gym.
Graciela Morales : Yeah, total killer. Kat's a stepping stone.
Odafin Tutuola : Our money's on the girl from Gowanus.
-
Sasha Rose : We were a family, and now we're broken. I don't know who to believe.
Amanda Rollins : We know you and Esperanza are close. Anything you saw could help her.
Odafin Tutuola : You were there. Can you tell us how it went down?
Sasha Rose : It's not gonna bring Romeo back.
Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, but it could prevent your girl from going away. You wanna lose her, too?
-
Sasha Rose : Esperanza came into the gym all hyped up. She went to Romeo, they started arguing...
Odafin Tutuola : Could you hear what they were saying?
Sasha Rose : Pieces. Something about getting too close. Romeo said Esperanza was just jealous.
Amanda Rollins : Jealous of who, Cami?
Sasha Rose : Maybe. Look, all I know is that Romeo never crossed a line with me.
Amanda Rollins : Okay.
Sasha Rose : Esperanza doesn't stir the pot like that. She punched Romeo out. She had a reason.
-
Santos Morales : My daughter's a very angry person. When people fail her, she lashes out.
Odafin Tutuola : Has she always been that way?
Santos Morales : Uh... her mother left us when she was ten. Esperanza never forgave her. Girls need their mothers, tú sabes.
Amanda Rollins : But she had her daddy.
Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, except you two don't seem so tight. Why's that?
Santos Morales : No sé. I gave her everything. Ballet, gymnastics. She wanted to become a boxer. I bust my ass so Espe could have the success I never had. Still, she pushed me away.
Odafin Tutuola : That must burn. You out here trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents, and she disrespects you.
Amanda Rollins : Or maybe it was because you got too close to her.
Santos Morales : What? What is Esperanza saying? I'm a good father. I did everything for my two girls.
Amanda Rollins : Es... Esperanza has a sister?
Santos Morales : Had a sister. Graciela. She... she got hooked. I tried to save her. Now I've lost both my girls. Now, excuse me. My kids need me.
Amanda Rollins : [leaving] So one daughter becomes a boxer, the other's a junkie who ODed?
Odafin Tutuola : You do whatever you can to get out of a house like his.
-
Olivia Benson : Damaged goods? Jealous? I mean, it sounds like Romeo was abusing Esperanza.
Amanda Rollins : Maybe, but we don't know that, and she won't admit it.
Katriona Tamin : I don't see what difference it makes. If she was protecting Cami, I mean, wouldn't a jury be sympathetic to that?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Emotionally, yeah, but technically, you can't just kill someone because you don't like the way they're treating someone else.
Odafin Tutuola : But if we can prove he's abusing her?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, that changes the case. You know, she gets a good lawyer, she could do a variation of the battered wife defense. An abused teen snaps when she's taunted by a predator.
Katriona Tamin : She's a boxer. She'll never admit to it. She's got her rep to protect.
Olivia Benson : Or she's scared, or in denial.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : If she and her lawyer come to me with her admission, I can convince Hadid to make a deal. Good luck.
Amanda Rollins : Bail's set at 10 grand?
Odafin Tutuola : She won't be able to make that.
Katriona Tamin : How about I go over to Rikers and talk to her?
Olivia Benson : She's under arrest, Kat. None of us can talk to her without a lawyer present.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Santos Morales?
Santos Morales : Yeah?
Odafin Tutuola : You're under arrest.
Santos Morales : What?
Amanda Rollins : Get your hands on the wall.
Santos Morales : What is this?
Amanda Rollins : Keep 'em up.
Santos Morales : Huh?
[seeing Graciela's look]
Santos Morales : My own daughter? You set me up? How could you do this?
Graciela Morales : How could I? How could you?
[spitting at him]
Graciela Morales : I hope you die in prison!
[to Fin]
Graciela Morales : Tell Officer Tamin she didn't need to pay me. I wanna give her the money back.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Graciela Morales?
Graciela Morales : [seeing his badge] Easy, papi. I'm clean. I already pissed twice in a cup this month.
Katriona Tamin : Actually, we wanted to talk to you about your sister.
Graciela Morales : Espe? I heard she's in trouble.
Katriona Tamin : She is. We were hoping that you could help us help her.
Graciela Morales : How?
Odafin Tutuola : She punched her trainer 'cause he was taunting her about your father.
Katriona Tamin : Did you know anything about that?
Graciela Morales : That's why she boxes. After she got good, she told him he had to leave us both alone.
Katriona Tamin : It could help your sister if you came and told our ADA that.
Graciela Morales : Yeah. Sure, okay. She's doing good now boxing. She must have money. How much she gonna pay me?
