Mariska Hargitay: Detective Olivia Benson

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [about Christine]  She said she was tired. I didn't want her to lawyer up.

  Donald Cragen : Absolutely. There's still a chance she could be a victim.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, from what I just heard, she's lying. She's using present tense, she's mixing tenses...

  Odafin Tutuola : It's like she's making it up as she goes along. She's trying to convince us.

  Olivia Benson : She said, "we had sex" when she was talking about what the rapist did to her. No real victim describes rape like that.

• Olivia Benson : Most rape victims shut down, but not Christine.

  Nick Amaro : Yeah, what are you thinking?

  Olivia Benson : Look, three black men in a van? Maybe. Or maybe she doesn't want us to know who did this to her.

• Christine Hartwell : [to Olivia]  He made me do those things. I told you.

  Olivia Benson : You told me a lot of things, Christine, but I've been doing this for a while. So why don't you tell me what actually happened?

  Christine Hartwell : He made me act like I liked it. I didn't know we were being taped.

  Olivia Benson : Well, that seemed pretty clear.

  Christine Hartwell : I was terrorized for two days by this...

  Olivia Benson : Just stop.

  Marvin Exley : [as he walks in the room]  No, you stop. Stop browbeating my client.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, Counselor. You're gonna earn your paycheck on this one.

• Olivia Benson : [about Christine]  We can't let her get away with it. Every time a woman makes a false accusation, it makes it that much harder for real victims.
