Quotes
-
Trevor Langan : The Millers' main agenda is to force a 13-year-old rape victim to carry to term, to prevent her from exercising her right to choose.
Tammy Miller : Evie would never choose murder.
James Miller : I don't know who's gotten into her head, but this is not the daughter we raised.
Evangeline Miller : No, I can't go back home!
Tammy Miller : Evangeline!
Evangeline Miller : [points to James] I can't because he put this baby inside me!
-
Tammy Miller : An ongoing physical relationship? My little girl? No. It... it's not possible.
Olivia Benson : Actually, it is possible.
James Miller : Okay, well, did she say who it was?
Tammy Miller : It has to be Isaac. That's why she came here.
James Miller : Have you arrested him?
Tammy Miller : James, we have to talk to him. He's the father. He has to marry her.
James Miller : Right.
Olivia Benson : Mrs. Miller, your daughter didn't come here to be with Isaac.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She came to New York because she doesn't want this pregnancy.
James Miller : What?
Tammy Miller : No! No, whatever happened, this baby is a gift from God.
James Miller : Wait, are you saying that she wants an abortion?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yes and in New York State, that is her right.
-
James Miller : We're taking Evangeline home right now.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Listen, Mr. Miller, I'm sorry, but that's... that's not happening.
James Miller : Excuse me?
Tammy Miller : I don't understand.
Olivia Benson : I know that this is very difficult to hear, but as of now, Evangeline is in the custody of Child Protective Services.
Tammy Miller : What?
James Miller : You can't just take our daughter away from us. What about our rights?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You'll appear before a family court judge. I can help you get a lawyer.
James Miller : Uh, our pastor was a lawyer before he was called by God. I know things are different here in New York, but our daughter is not killing her baby.
-
Tammy Miller : I had a vision we'd find you safe.
Evangeline Miller : I'm okay, Mama.
James Miller : Your mother's been worried sick. What were you thinking?
Evangeline Miller : I'm sorry.
Tammy Miller : James, she's here. She's safe.
James Miller : Yeah.
Tammy Miller : We can all go home now.
James Miller : Okay.
Evangeline Miller : I don't want to go home.
Tammy Miller : Of course you do.
Evangeline Miller : They said I didn't have to.
Amanda Rollins : We need to talk about a few things first.
James Miller : Okay, it doesn't matter. We're your parents. You have to obey us. Come on.
Amanda Rollins : Actually...
[a patrol officer leads Trevor Langan in]
Amanda Rollins : Evangeline, this is Trevor Langan.
Trevor Langan : I'm going to represent you.
Tammy Miller : Why does she need a lawyer?
James Miller : Yeah, what is going on?
-
Tammy Miller : Please tell us you found her. We prayed the whole way here.
Amanda Rollins : Her cell is off, but we're tracking her social media.
James Miller : Well, track his cell. Isaac, she followed him out here.
Olivia Benson : Follow? When did Isaac leave Ohio?
James Miller : About a month ago, after they caught him with a 15-year-old girl. They should've kept him in prison after that.
Amanda Rollins : Evangeline and Isaac are friends?
James Miller : Well, she's friends with his little sister, but that would not stop a boy like that.
Olivia Benson : Are you saying that they were involved?
Tammy Miller : Like a boyfriend? No, no. Evangeline can be emotional, but she takes her faith seriously.
