Quotes
-
Odafin Tutuola : [to Kat] You get any sleep?
Kat Tamin : Yeah, a solid 20. It's all you need.
Odafin Tutuola : Me, I can close my eyes at a red light and nap until it's green.
Kat Tamin : When I was younger, I hated naps. Never wanted to miss anything. My dad would put me in the stroller and tell me that we're going for ice cream, and by the end of the block, I was out.
[looks over to see Fin asleep]
-
Odafin Tutuola : Ms. Fuller, I'm Sergeant Tutuola, SVU.
Joelle Fuller : There's no need for you to be here. Andre shouldn't have called the cops. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Andre Fuller : No, she's not. My mom's bleeding.
Odafin Tutuola : We're gonna take care of your mom.
-
Leon Fuller : Whoa! Don't shoot! It's my truck. I work here.
Odafin Tutuola : It's not about your truck. It's about what happened last night.
Leon Fuller : All right, what's Joelle saying now?
Odafin Tutuola : She didn't have to say anything. The evidence is all over her face. You're under arrest.
Leon Fuller : You can't arrest me in my house.
Odafin Tutuola : Your house? This is company property, dumbass. Now come down or I'll have my people get you out of there
-
Dominick Carisi : Where are we?
Olivia Benson : Mr. Davies is in holding.
Odafin Tutuola : Kat talked to Lakira. She said she'll testify.
Dominick Carisi : Okay, what about his other victims?
Olivia Benson : I think Lakira is our best bet.
Dominick Carisi : Okay, fine. Um, where... where are we with Joelle Fuller?
Olivia Benson : I spoke to Joelle. She's on board.
Dominick Carisi : All right, what... what else? I got the... the HailMe case.
Amanda Rollins : Got Sanjay's confession and Chloe's ID.
Dominick Carisi : Okay, three up, three down. What am I missing here?
Olivia Benson : Carisi, you are good. You got this.
Dominick Carisi : From your mouth to God's ears.
-
Dominick Carisi : Are we good? Joelle hasn't called me back. Is there a problem?
Odafin Tutuola : Don't ask. Let's just say I'm behind on paperwork. I talked to Leon. He said he'll plead to the assault if you drop the rape charge.
Dominick Carisi : What? Why?
Odafin Tutuola : Don't ask that, either.
-
Olivia Benson : [after a long shift] So, Fin, how was your weekend?
Odafin Tutuola : Really?
[Benson lays her head back]
Odafin Tutuola : Can I take off?
Olivia Benson : Take me with you.
-
Leon Fuller : Let me guess. You here for the white boy?
Paul Davies : Well, it's about time.
Odafin Tutuola : Sit down, Gilligan. Leon, I think you're ready for a smoke.
-
Amanda Rollins : Chloe's heels.
Odafin Tutuola : So he's our guy, or not.
Amanda Rollins : The registered owner is 63. Chloe says she remembers the-the driver was in his 20s.
Odafin Tutuola : She also IDed the wrong guy. You... you think maybe she cried rape just to get her shoes back?
Amanda Rollins : Something's off.
-
Olivia Benson : Aleah, is everything okay?
Aleah Brown : Just came to tell you Joelle's done pressing charges and everything.
Olivia Benson : Hold on, what... what changed?
Aleah Brown : She got her head on straight. They're not legally divorced, so the child support he's been doling out isn't court-ordered. If Leon goes away...
Odafin Tutuola : So does her cash flow.
Olivia Benson : There are ways around that.
Aleah Brown : Don't even, okay? Joelle's out. Don't call. Don't come knocking. Just drop it.
Olivia Benson : [sighing as Aleah leaves] I'll go get Carisi.
Odafin Tutuola : Wait, now. Hold up. Let me talk to Leon first.
-
Odafin Tutuola : Hey, Cap, you got a second?
Olivia Benson : [taking a coffee cup] If that's for me, I'll give you a full minute.
-
Andre Fuller : [to Fin] I was scared my mom wasn't gonna get up.
Odafin Tutuola : You did good, little man. You called 911.
Andre Fuller : My dad is gonna be so mad.
Odafin Tutuola : He get mad a lot? You guys get along?
Andre Fuller : Yeah. He takes me for rides in the big truck. We blast the music.
Odafin Tutuola : You know what? It looks like you're getting tired. Come on. I'm getting tired too.
[picks up Andre]
Odafin Tutuola : You're a big guy.
Andre Fuller : My friend TJ, his dad went to jail because he knocked out his mom. Is my dad going to jail too?
-
Amanda Rollins : How'd it go uptown?
Olivia Benson : Joelle came around. She'll... she'll testify.
Odafin Tutuola : That's great. It means I can finally take 20.
Olivia Benson : Yeah.
Odafin Tutuola : If Rollins can keep it down.
-
Aadesh Patel : Hello, can I help you with something? Please come into my home. I'm sorry about all the boxes. My home is in foreclosure. I lived here 30 years. I have less than a week to pack up.
Amanda Rollins : It's all right, Mr. Patel. We're actually here about your car. Is that it out front?
Aadesh Patel : Yes. I know I should have a permit, but I only drive to the airports, and I'm very safe. Safe driver as I was in my yellow cab, only minus the medallion.
Amanda Rollins : We're not TLC, we're Special Victims.
Odafin Tutuola : Were you driving your car last night?
Aadesh Patel : No, sir. What is this about?
Amanda Rollins : We're investigating an assault, and a young girl got into that car...
Aadesh Patel : And you think I...? No. I-I would never.
Amanda Rollins : [hearing a clattering] Who's back there?
Aadesh Patel : My son Sanjay. He's helping me pack up.
Amanda Rollins : Call him in here, please.
-
Aadesh Patel : Don't hurt him. He's my son.
Odafin Tutuola : Where were you last night?
Aadesh Patel : Sanjay, what did you do?
Amanda Rollins : [trying to restrain him] Stay down. Don't move.
Sanjay Patel : I did it for you, dad.
-
Olivia Benson : So, you find, uh, your DV perp?
Odafin Tutuola : No known address. He and Joelle just separated. TARU's tracking his phone, and his son thinks he lives in a truck.
Olivia Benson : Is she willing to cooperate?
Odafin Tutuola : You know how that goes. She's backing up, but we can't.
-
Odafin Tutuola : So we're looking at a sexual assault?
Officer Dominique Rivers : And beating. Another Friday night in the projects. The vic is Joelle Fuller. Perp's the husband, Leon. Bounced before we got here. Their kid, Andre, called 911.
Odafin Tutuola : [glancing into the apartment] Find Leon. Felony DV's a mandatory arrest.

Amanda Rollins : You going out?
Kat Tamin : House party.
Amanda Rollins : I miss those.
Odafin Tutuola : Not me. I'll see you guys on Monday.
