Quotes

FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : [to Olivia] Proud of yourself?
Olivia Benson : I would have been proud to help you collar the bastard who murdered 24 women. That would have satisfied me.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : That wasn't enough.
Olivia Benson : Why not?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : You know why. How many dead babies have you stood over? How many rape victims? You can't tell me you never wanted to put your gun under the bastard's chin who raped a 2-year-old.
Olivia Benson : I have too much to lose.
-
Olivia Benson : [about Amy Doe] She's not gonna make it, Lauren. We need to find her family.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : [crying] What if she doesn't have one?
Olivia Benson : You okay?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : [crying] No. Like I said, I'm not used to dealing with victims.
-
Olivia Benson : [to Lauren] You stalked Moore, you killed him and then you left his last victim to die.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : That's not true.
Olivia Benson : Yeah, well, your little act may have worked on your precious mentor, but I'm gonna tell you something, I'm not buying it.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : Leave Tillman out of this
Olivia Benson : How can I? This whole thing is about Tillman. He put a bullet in his brain because he couldn't take the stress, and now you put one in Moore because you wanted to make him pay.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : You must be pretty desperate to use a bush-league tactic like that.
Olivia Benson : Yeah, well, you seem pretty rattled by it. I can see you don't like me talking about him. Now, just exactly how close were you two?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : He was like a father to me.
Olivia Benson : Oh, is that what they're calling it now?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : I swear, if you publicly malign Dr. Tillman in any way, I guarantee the federal building will fall on you like a ton of bricks.
-
Olivia Benson : I'd rather ask for a pardon than permission.
-
Olivia Benson : [to Lauren] Why did Dr. Tillman kill himself?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : Why does any cop eat his gun? I grew up in a group home. Carl recruited me in my junior year of college. Working with him was like having a father for the first time. You know what I mean?
Olivia Benson : No, I don't.
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : Job's your family?
Olivia Benson : Yeah.
-
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : [to Olivia] Must get a lot of confessions in here. Can't wait to unburden the soul, confirm your deepest suspicions. They want absolution, they wanna be able to sleep at night.
Olivia Benson : Can you sleep at night, Lauren?
FBI Special Agent Lauren Cooper : I sleep just fine.
-
Olivia Benson : Where's the gun, Mrs. Tillman?
Mrs. Tillman : I gave it to Lauren as a keepsake. I don't like guns. I never have.
Detective Chester Lake : We'll need you to sign a statement.
Mrs. Tillman : I'm well aware of what you need, young man, but you're not going to get it.
Olivia Benson : You could be charged with obstruction, withholding information from the police...
Mrs. Tillman : How about accessory after the fact? You might even make a conspiracy case if you tried.
Olivia Benson : Sounds like you helped Lauren plan the murder.
Mrs. Tillman : No, I didn't.
Detective Chester Lake : Then why won't you cooperate?
Mrs. Tillman : My husband obsessed over the Woodsman. Every victim he killed took a little bit more out of Carl. It crushed him. He never would have let that vicious killer sit in a cushy cell for the rest of his life. I guess Lauren felt the same way.
Olivia Benson : Did Agent Cooper tell you that she was gonna use your husband's gun to shoot Larry Moore?
Mrs. Tillman : I won't lie, but I certainly won't help you put her away.
-
Casey Novak : If Agent Cooper confesses, I can drop the charges down to man two.
Olivia Benson : That's 10 years, Casey. A minister's wife killed her husband with a shotgun and got 67 days. Where's the justice in that?
-
Olivia Benson : You Lavender?
Levander : It's La-VAN-der. Do I look like a damn flower to you?
Levander : [Levander is wearing a lavender coloured suit]
