Quotes 

• Amanda Rollins : [as Rollins and Hasim prepare for their undercover assignment]  Okay, what color is my toothbrush?

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Blue, and you sleep on the left side of the bed. You always spoon me.

  Amanda Rollins : And what about my siblings?

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : One sister, but you're not in touch.

  Amanda Rollins : She's troubled. You can say that.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : But hot.

  Amanda Rollins : Hey.

• Amanda Rollins : Mr. Varick here was just telling me he takes the Z train every day.

  Duane Varik : Fact. And today, it was really crowded, so any touching was accidental.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Then why run? Why smash your phone?

  Duane Varik : Because my father had that conversation with me when I was a boy. Badge or no badge, I know you understand that, my brother, and in case you don't, I want a lawyer. Mm.

  Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Race card, the lawyer card. Smarter than he looks.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : So our subway grinder gave up his boss at Citizenship and Immigration as a rapist?

  Odafin Tutuola : Duane says this guy O'Toole holds up green cards in exchange for sex.

  Olivia Benson : He preys on attractive immigrant women and threatens deportation if they don't comply.

  Amanda Rollins : It's a squeeze play. They can't report. They can't tell their husband.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Did Duane give you any proof?

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, he said O'Toole took a file off his desk, then he came in the next day with a big smile on his face, saying, "The best cure for blue balls is a green card."

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Eh, it's poetic, but it's not probative.

• Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Lina backed out?

  Amanda Rollins : She's pregnant.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : I get it. That changes everything.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, it means O'Toole's gonna walk.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : What about Rosamie Klein?

  Amanda Rollins : You heard her. She doesn't want to hurt her husband.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Maybe I can talk to him. Jew to Jew.

  Amanda Rollins : You're Jewish?

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : On my mother's side. Part Muslim on my father's. It's a long story.

  Amanda Rollins : Sounds like everybody in New York has one of those.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : You want to take a ride to Ocean Parkway, talk to the Kleins?

  Amanda Rollins : As my Baptist grandmama would say, it's worth a Hail Mary.

• Amanda Rollins : I spent two days pretending to be married to you. I don't know the first thing about you.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : I guess I consider myself Middle-Eastern American.

  Amanda Rollins : Middle-Eastern American? So, not Muslim?

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Mm-mm. After 9/11, I was really ashamed to admit that I was part Muslim.

  Amanda Rollins : Hmm.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : So, actually I passed for black in Brooklyn. It was easier.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, my story is pretty much the exact same.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : [sharing a laugh]  Oh, yeah? Yeah, but your sister's really not crazy, right?

  Amanda Rollins : No, that part is true.

• Amanda Rollins : Rosamie, how are you?

  Rosamie Klein : Better when I heard O'Toole go to prison.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Rape three, three counts. He'll do 15 years.

  Rosamie Klein : Good.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : You and Eddie; things okay?

  Rosamie Klein : Yeah. After you talked to Eddie, before I agreed to testify, he and I talked a long time. He said he was so sad what I had to go through, and how much he loved me. We cried together. It's better now. Even better than before. I don't have to keep secrets from him anymore, so... thank you.

• Amanda Rollins : Posting upskirt photos of women from your desk computer at your federal job? That's a class E felony. Duane, you're in a lot of trouble.

  Counselor April Andrews : Did you have a warrant for that?

  Odafin Tutuola : We don't need one. It's government property.

  Duane Varik : That pervert O'Toole dime me out? Makes sense. Last thing he would want is you going through his computer.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why is that?

  Counselor April Andrews : Hold on. Duane?

  [he leans over and whispers indistinctly in her ear] 

  Counselor April Andrews : My client may have something to offer.

• Amanda Rollins : [after testifying]  I didn't help you in there, counselor.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : It's okay. We're laying groundwork. Once Lina testifies that he did follow through, his whole defense falls apart.

• Amanda Rollins : Mr. O'Toole told me I had to meet him in private in his minivan. And as you heard on the tape, he said if I wanted the green card, then I had to have sex with him.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And what were his exact words?

  Amanda Rollins : That he deserved some loving, too.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Thank you, detective.

  John Buchanan : But you didn't have sex with my client, did you?

  Amanda Rollins : No.

  John Buchanan : He never assaulted you in any way?

  Amanda Rollins : No, but his intent was clear and graphic. He said we needed to go to the back of the van where there was a mattress.

  John Buchanan : And did you go to the back of the van?

  Amanda Rollins : No. My support team pulled open the doors before that could happen.

  John Buchanan : So, isn't it possible he was testing you to see if you were really a faithful wife?

  Amanda Rollins : Please. That is not what was going on.

  John Buchanan : Well... you were playing a role. Isn't it possible that he was playing one, too? Please answer the question, Detective.

  Amanda Rollins : Yes. Anything is possible.
