Quotes 

• Dominick Carisi : That's why anybody wants to come to this country to work for the American Dream, they should be allowed to do that.

  Odafin Tutuola : Really? I mean, political asylum, that's okay, but just because Maria's neighbor got shot by a gang? That doesn't qualify.

  Amanda Rollins : I don't know, Fin. What that woman had to go through to get to the border, she must have been terrorized.

  Odafin Tutuola : And who takes care of them once they get here? I mean, separating kids from their parents, that's barbaric, but there's still a problem.

  Dominick Carisi : I think immigrants can take care of themselves. My great grandfather came to this country from Torino when he was 12 years old.

  Odafin Tutuola : And I bet you he didn't have public housing, food stamps and Medicaid.

  Amanda Rollins : Most of these people, they get jobs and they're jobs that Americans don't want.

  Dominick Carisi : Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, and that's a great poem, but it's all garbage. My people came here 300 years ago in chains and I still can't breathe free.

• Olivia Benson : [about Gabriela]  Look, guys, we have an obligation to notify the Office of Refugee Resettlement and let them know that we have her here.

  Odafin Tutuola : They'll send her to one of their tender age centers.

  Amanda Rollins : I'll take her.

  Olivia Benson : Rollins, you can't take her.

  Amanda Rollins : You took Noah.

  Olivia Benson : I did. And this is very different.

  Amanda Rollins : Not much. Could you remember you remember Esther, the last girl we let walk out of here?

  Olivia Benson : Rollins, you can't take her.

• Gabriella Sosa : [to Rollins]  Do you have a baby?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, her name is Jesse. She's three years old.

  Gabriella Sosa : [referring to Rollins' pregnant stomach]  A baby in there?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I do.

  Gabriella Sosa : Can I feel?

  Amanda Rollins : Well, um, yeah, okay.

  [Gabriela feels Rollins' stomach] 

  Gabriella Sosa : Do you want the baby to be a girl or a boy?

  Amanda Rollins : I'm not sure.

  Gabriella Sosa : When I see my mother, I tell her that I want to have a little brother.

• Chinua Iwobi : I didn't know that man was crazy when I picked him up.

  Amanda Rollins : You didn't think it was weird he had a naked girl wrapped up in a sheet?

  Chinua Iwobi : He said it was his daughter. He was taking her to the hospital.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why didn't you call the police?

  Chinua Iwobi : I wanted to, man. I really did. But...

  Odafin Tutuola : You're illegal.

  Chinua Iwobi : I'm here for ten years now. I have a wife and kids. Please don't send me back.

  Odafin Tutuola : Oh, we don't deal with any of that.

  Chinua Iwobi : Last week, I got robbed with a gun to my head. $600. And I was too scared to report it.

  Odafin Tutuola : [handing him a business card]  Listen, man. If that happens to you again, call me. Right now, we're only concerned with your fare in that car last night.

• Peter Stone : They're so young.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah. And two of them escaped violent homes. Uh, another one was living with her demented grandmother and ran out of food. We're trying to get the details on the rest of the kids. You know, we're just trying to keep them comfortable until we can place them somewhere.

  Peter Stone : Where'd your perp find them?

  Olivia Benson : Uh, on the street. In a park. One was actually plucked from a playground. He has a talent for spotting, uh, vulnerability.

  Peter Stone : Why do they stay with him?

  Olivia Benson : They think they're contributing to the household. He has utterly manipulated them. Except for one.

  Amanda Rollins : [talking to Gabriela]  Are you thirsty?

  Olivia Benson : She's afraid of the guy that we collared. And even more afraid of us. You need to meet Uncle Luke.

• Odafin Tutuola : Gabriela, why'd you run away?

  Amanda Rollins : [seeing her reluctance to say]  Were the Wellbecks nice people?

  Gabriella Sosa : Yes. Very nice. But I miss my mommy. It make me sad.

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, you know your mother's very far away, right?

  Gabriella Sosa : Yes. Why la migra take her, Miss Amanda?

  Amanda Rollins : Because when your mother crossed the border, she broke the laws of our country.

  Gabriella Sosa : But what did I do?

  Amanda Rollins : You didn't do anything wrong, sweetie.

• Amanda Rollins : Who you calling?

  Odafin Tutuola : Carisi. He can help me pick up this lead.

  Amanda Rollins : Are you kidding?

  Odafin Tutuola : This guy's violent. You know that, right?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, and I can run and gun same as you, Fin. Pregnant or not.

  Odafin Tutuola : And what if something happens?

  Amanda Rollins : Then it's not your problem. Stop treating me like a ride-along.

• Olivia Benson : Let's put Gabriela through NCMEC.

  Amanda Rollins : Uh, it's Gabriela Sosa.

  Dominick Carisi : [running the search]  All right, I got a name match. It's a, uh, missing persons alert from Elizabeth, New Jersey. That's a bus ride away.

  Amanda Rollins : Her parents reported her missing?

  Dominick Carisi : No, it's the New Jersey Department of Children and Families.

  Olivia Benson : She was in foster care.

• Amanda Rollins : [seeing Al with a boquet of flowers]  No, thanks.

  Dr. Al Pollack : I just need to explain.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, you always just need to explain.

  Dr. Al Pollack : This is not like last time.

  Amanda Rollins : No? So instead of an escort's number, you got a waitress' phone number.

  Dr. Al Pollack : No, a waitress' mother's number.

  Amanda Rollins : [moving to shut the door]  Please, Al.

  Dr. Al Pollack : They know that I'm a cardiologist there. She said her mom is having a stent put in in a few days and asked if I would call her to tell her that it was routine. Just for peace of mind. That's it. Scout's honor.

  Amanda Rollins : So what's with the apology flowers?

  Dr. Al Pollack : Well, you didn't call me back about going to the Van Gogh exhibit, so I thought I'd bring Van Gogh to you.

• Amanda Rollins : So, the hospital sent their camera footage over. This is the entrance to the hospital.

  Dominick Carisi : Car pulls up. And the door opens. Yeah, we got a driver, guy in the back seat. No clear shot of the faces.

  Odafin Tutuola : I can't make out the numbers, but that's a T-plate. That could be an Uber.

  Amanda Rollins : Or a car service.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay, get it to TARU to enhance the image. We find the driver, we find the perp.
