• Olivia Benson : He smells expensive.

  Capt. Donald Cragen : Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you to smell the defendant.

• Brian Cassidy : [to Olivia]  I wanna see you again.

  Olivia Benson : Um, Cassidy, we went to Maloney's, we got drunk and I wanted it to happen as much as you did, but that's all I wanted to happen.

  Brian Cassidy : This is about what happened at Harper's apartment, right?

  Olivia Benson : No, no it's not...

  Brian Cassidy : My doubting... not doubting, but my questioning you and questioning Harper. That was just a job, it wasn't personal.

  Olivia Benson : You know what? Neither was last night.

• Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia]  How long you been sleeping with Cassidy?

  Olivia Benson : Uh, I'm not.

  Elliot Stabler : Your stomach just dropped two floors, Olivia. The unconscious doesn't lie.

  Olivia Benson : I'm not lying. Not much.

• Olivia Benson : [about Harper]  God, what a mess.

  Brian Cassidy : I don't know. Maybe he's not the guy who did her.

  Harper Anderson : [enraged]  Did me? The guy who did me? He raped me, you ass!

• Olivia Benson : Jane, you did the one thing you're supposed to do when somebody threatens you; survive.

• Olivia Benson : [to Harper]  The truth is, everybody changes every day and some things are more devastating than others, but we never are the same. There are two ways to deal with these changes: you either accept them or you fight them like hell all the way.
