Quotes 

• Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : Hey, Lieutenant, how was your weekend?

  Olivia Benson : Well, it was good till now. The press find out yet?

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : No, but America's favorite family. It's just a matter of time.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, which daughter is it?

  Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : Lane Baker. Number four of ten. She passed out at her virtue ball.

  Olivia Benson : Her virtue ball?

  Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : Yeah, it's a dance where daughters promise their fathers they'll stay virgins till they get married.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : And so much for that promise. Doc says Lane is three months pregnant.

• Olivia Benson : [trying to investigate how a thirteen year old got pregnant]  With all due respect, this wasn't an immaculate conception.

• Officer Doug Tramwell : Pastor Eldon, you are under arrest for the statutory rape of Summer Baker.

  Olivia Benson : And for the statutory rape of Lane Baker.

  Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say...

  Pastor Gregory Eldon : I know my rights. None of this will hold up in court. I love you, Lane.

  [Officer Tramwell starts to take Eldon away, but Carisi stops them] 

  Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : You really are a piece of crap.

• Pastor Gregory Eldon : As the family's attorney, I'm gonna ask you to leave our church.

  Olivia Benson : Well, that's your right, but I need you to know, Mrs. Baker, that these issues don't just go away. Your daughter needs help.

• Pam Baker : [to Pastor Eldon]  You lied to us. You made us think it was our son. Why?

  Olivia Benson : Because he knew that you would do anything to protect Graham.

  Pam Baker : I'll testify. About Tate. About everything.

  Judge Elias Barnes : [to Pastor Eldon]  Gregory...

  Pastor Gregory Eldon : No, no, no. Look, look. They have no case. They told the whole world that Tate was their baby. They don't want their fans to find out that they lied. And Lane, well, Lane, you...

  Olivia Benson : You need to stop talking to her.

• Mike Dodds : All right, not to interrupt a theological debate, but given the fact that there's no evidence of an assault, no complaint from the girl or her parents, I mean, why are we pursuing?

  Olivia Benson : She's 13, Dodds. It's statutory rape.

  Mike Dodds : Yeah, I know that, but I've been here before. The hasidim in Crown Heights, these religious communities, they close ranks.

  Olivia Benson : Which is exactly why we don't let it go. Lane lives in an insular environment. Whoever got her pregnant is a predator with access.

• Lane Baker : I know my being pregnant is God's will. I just didn't think God would let it happen until I was married.

  Olivia Benson : But you do know how you got pregnant, right, Lane?

  Lane Baker : I had sexual activity.

  Olivia Benson : When you were on your mission here in New York? It's okay, Lane. Whatever happened It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong.

  Lane Baker : That's what he told me, that I was still a good person.

  Olivia Benson : You are. There's no doubt about it.

• Olivia Benson : [to Dodds]  Hey, a word of advice?

  Mike Dodds : Please.

  Olivia Benson : You're off to a good start. You don't have to knock it out of the park in your first few weeks, you know?

• Olivia Benson : Well, Dodds, do you still think this was a waste of time?

  Mike Dodds : No, I get it. It's just that I thought SVU would be taking rapists off the street, not out of churches.

  Olivia Benson : The thing is, Dodds, most rapists don't hunt on the street. They hunt where they're trusted.
