- Detective John Munch: Three more calls.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: From Maureen?
- Detective John Munch: Not yours.
- [to Olivia]
- Detective John Munch: Yours.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Ashley? Is she okay?
- Detective John Munch: No. She saw the latest N*SYNC video and was devastated, as was I.
- [beat]
- Detective John Munch: She just called to chat.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Dr. Olivet about Ashley] She calls all the time.
- Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: What happens when you have to hang up?
- Detective Olivia Benson: At first, she begs to talk, just for a few more minutes and then when I have to go, she just... she sounds so depressed.
- Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: When you first met, how much time did you spend together?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Just a few minutes.
- Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: It sounds like reactive attachment disorder. It is very common in orphans who are abandoned during their crucial bonding cycle. They meet complete strangers and they form instant relationships.
- Detective Olivia Benson: So it's not just my sparkling wit?
- Detective Olivia Benson: [about Ashley] Anyone gets close to helping her, Ricki buys a wall to block them off.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: And I think we've definitely hit ours.
- Detective Olivia Benson: There's gotta be something that we can do.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What? They don't abuse her, they don't criminally neglect her.
- Detective Olivia Benson: They don't love her.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: What? How many unloved kids you think there are in this city? It's not an SVU case anymore. You just gotta let it go.
- Ricki Austin: Ashley was my miracle baby. My first song to become number one was about her birth. Sixteen million people could relate to a mother's love.
- Alexandra Cabot: Is that domestic or worldwide?
- Donald Cragen: [to Elliot and Olivia] You had no business going back to that house.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: We were in the neighborhood.
- Detective Olivia Benson: I dragged him there.
- Donald Cragen: You have no grounds for an investigation.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Captain, they're covering something up.
- Donald Cragen: They're celebrities. People pick through their garbage tape, their cell phone conversations, sell their intimate secrets. Covering up is second nature to these people.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Ricki, your daughter needs help.
- Ricki Austin: Get away before I call the police.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Miss Austin, I am the police.
- Ricki Austin: Then it's damn lucky I have my own security!
- Detective Olivia Benson: [about Ashley] Alex, you can't imagine how needy this little girl is.
- Alexandra Cabot: Needy? Olivia, we do sex crimes and child abuse. I'm sorry, but there's not much we can do for the emotionally short-changed.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: [to Olivia] It's been about a month now, hasn't it?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Since what?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Your mom.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Where did that come from?
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Olivia, it's me. I know the issues you had with her.
- Detective Olivia Benson: No. No connection.
- Detective Elliot Stabler: Successful woman, rarely home. When she was home, she was drunk. You were lonely and neglected and you never had a chance to resolve the thing before she died.
- Judge Susan Valdera: [to Ashley] Do you know Detective Benson?
- Ashley Austin Black: She used to be my friend.
- Judge Susan Valdera: Used to be?
- Ashley Austin Black: I wanted to live with her, but she didn't want me. My daddy's home.
- Detective Olivia Benson: I want you to know, my only concern was for Ashley.
- Ricki Austin: You get near her again, I'll have your badge.
- Detective Olivia Benson: [after Ashley ends up in the hospital] Ashley, you would let me know if there was anything that I could do to stop these accidents, wouldn't you?
- Ashley Austin Black: You can't help accidents.
- Donald Cragen: Benson, you're on desk duty.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Captain, I can explain.
- Donald Cragen: You can't follow my orders on the street, you try keeping my files straight.
- Donald Cragen: [to Olivia] Are you trying to get fired? Because that's the only option I have left.
- Detective Olivia Benson: Would I put myself on the line if I didn't know what was in store for this little girl?
- Ashley Austin Black: [to Olivia] Can we go home to your house now?
- Detective Olivia Benson: Sweetie, we're not going to my house.
- Ashley Austin Black: What? But you came and got me. You don't want me to live with you?
- Detective Olivia Benson: It's not that, Ashley. It's just that my house isn't set up for kids.
- Ashley Austin Black: That's okay.
- Detective Olivia Benson: And even if it was I'm hardly ever there. You know, my work, it just It takes up all my time. You understand that, Ashley, don't you?
- Detective Olivia Benson: [to Dr. Warner] Did you finish with the celebrity's kid?
- Dr. Melinda Warner: He's in the fridge. The parents' "people" have been raising holy hell to have him released.
