Mattie Hawkinson: Rebecca Ellison

Quotes 

• Rebecca Ellison : [to Cabot]  What do you want?

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : For you to take a plea. A six month sentence and probation.

  Rebecca Ellison : No. I want everyone to hear what that monster did to me.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Rebecca, if you get convicted, you could go away for 25 years. You are not well. Do not put yourself through the stress of a long trial.

  Rebecca Ellison : Even if I am convicted, Ms. Owens says that I'll be put in a hospital ward.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Where they will force you to take medication and you will have to serve out your full sentence in jail.

  Rebecca Ellison : Don't act so concerned. You're the reason I'm here. You used me to get to Peter.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : How does going to jail help you or the other women get justice? How does that punish Peter Butler?

  Rebecca Ellison : That bastard will spend the rest of his life thinking about me and all those other women he infected.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Do not let your hate lead you to make this wrong decision. Please, accept my offer.

  Rebecca Ellison : I don't want your offer. I want to tell the world what Peter did to me.

• Rebecca Ellison : [after Cabot shows Rebecca information on AIDS awareness in court]  Why are you doing this to me?

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : To demonstrate that Peter Butler is not totally responsible for infecting you. You are responsible, too. You chose to sleep with him. You chose to have sex without a condom. You chose a risk. The same way you could have chosen to say no.

• Detective Olivia Benson : Rebecca, Peter's grandfather disinherited him. He gave all of his money to a trust fund to pay the medical expenses for the women that Peter infected. You will get care for the rest of your life.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : It's over, Rebecca.

  Rebecca Ellison : No, it's not. My rapist is still out there.

  Detective Olivia Benson : And we will never stop looking for him until you get justice.

• Rebecca Ellison : [to Peter after spraying acid on him in court]  Now you'll look like the monster you are!

• Rebecca Ellison : [When it's revealed that Rebecca is HIV-positive]  I am so sick of giving blood. I am sick of talking about this disease. I just want to go on with my life.

  A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : I don't want to subpoena you to testify as a material witness, but having your blood analyzed can help save other women's lives. Lots of women's lives.
