At Midnight in Manhattan (2019)

Janelle McDermoth: Aleah Brown

Quotes 

• 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.

• Olivia Benson : So, Joelle, this wasn't the first time the cops were called about Leon.

  Joelle Fuller : If I can just make it through the divorce, it'll all be good.

  Olivia Benson : Not necessarily. Sometimes it can make it worse, and I'm worried about your safety and Andre's.

  Aleah Brown : So is my sister. That's why you need to back off. Don't push her.

  Joelle Fuller : What do you want me to say? "Me, too"? What is that really gonna do?

  Olivia Benson : Help you get out of this situation. Help get your son out.

  Joelle Fuller : My son? My son is a bright boy. He will be fine.

  Olivia Benson : Do you really want him to grow up in this kind of home?

  Joelle Fuller : How do you know what kind of home he's growing up in?

  Olivia Benson : Joelle, I'd like you to... I'd like you to listen to something.

  Aleah Brown : [she plays Andre's call to 911]  Can you turn that off? You're upsetting my sister.

  [sitting down and hugging Joelle] 

  Aleah Brown : You're okay. You're okay. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

  Joelle Fuller : [crying]  Tell me what I have to do.
