Ann Davenport
- Ann Davenport: I try to put all this in God's hands, to have faith. But God's law and man's law say two different things. And how do I know what's right?
- Olivia Benson: Maybe you don't need to know. Maybe... maybe you just need to tell the truth.
- Ann Davenport: The truth. That... that I have feelings for Lydia or what Lucas did?
- Olivia Benson: Both.
- Ann Davenport: But my lust is a sin. It's...
- Olivia Benson: Ann, God made you the way you are. What Lucas did, do you really think that God would condone that? He hurt you. You know, I believe in God, too. And I'm not sure what He has in store for me or... or for you. Or for anyone, for that matter. But... but what I am sure about, regardless of religion, is that what Lucas did to you was wrong.
- Ann Davenport: [breaking down into tears] Yeah, I know.
- [last lines]
- Olivia Benson: So, Ann, what will you do now?
- Ann Davenport: I have some cousins in Denver I'm gonna stay with. Figure things out.
- Olivia Benson: Good.
- Ann Davenport: I'm definitely not coming back to New York anymore.
- Olivia Benson: And what about your parents?
- Ann Davenport: They're not ready yet. Maybe they will be one day.
- Olivia Benson: You know, things get better. They get easier with time.
- Ann Davenport: And with faith.
- Ann Davenport: What's gonna happen to Lucas?
- Olivia Benson: He committed a crime, Ann. We... we can't just pretend it never happened.
- Olivia Benson: So, Ann, can you tell me what happened?
- Ann Davenport: I'm... I'm not really sure.
- Lydia Banks: You were raped!
- [Benson looks at her in surprise]
- Lydia Banks: Look, she was raped. She would never let a man have sex with her. She is... she is a lesbian.
- Ann Davenport: I would never have sex with a boy.
- Olivia Benson: Because you're a lesbian.
- Ann Davenport: No. No, I'm saving myself for marriage. I'm a virgin. Or I was.
- Olivia Benson: Okay, so what Lydia said before...
- Ann Davenport: I'm not. I mean, I have feelings for Lydia, but I would never act on them. That's a... that's a sin.
- Olivia Benson: Honey, I need you to listen to me. If you didn't want to have sex with that boy, that's rape.
