Quotes 

• Dominick Carisi : That's why anybody wants to come to this country to work for the American Dream, they should be allowed to do that.

  Odafin Tutuola : Really? I mean, political asylum, that's okay, but just because Maria's neighbor got shot by a gang? That doesn't qualify.

  Amanda Rollins : I don't know, Fin. What that woman had to go through to get to the border, she must have been terrorized.

  Odafin Tutuola : And who takes care of them once they get here? I mean, separating kids from their parents, that's barbaric, but there's still a problem.

  Dominick Carisi : I think immigrants can take care of themselves. My great grandfather came to this country from Torino when he was 12 years old.

  Odafin Tutuola : And I bet you he didn't have public housing, food stamps and Medicaid.

  Amanda Rollins : Most of these people, they get jobs and they're jobs that Americans don't want.

  Dominick Carisi : Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.

  Odafin Tutuola : Yeah, and that's a great poem, but it's all garbage. My people came here 300 years ago in chains and I still can't breathe free.

• Odafin Tutuola : How'd the babysitting go?

  Dominick Carisi : Eh, played nineteen games of checkers and I, uh... I learned to read "Green Eggs and Ham" in Spanish.

  Odafin Tutuola : No me gusto los hueuvos verde.

  Dominick Carisi : Ni el jamón, my friend.

• Olivia Benson : [about Gabriela]  Look, guys, we have an obligation to notify the Office of Refugee Resettlement and let them know that we have her here.

  Odafin Tutuola : They'll send her to one of their tender age centers.

  Amanda Rollins : I'll take her.

  Olivia Benson : Rollins, you can't take her.

  Amanda Rollins : You took Noah.

  Olivia Benson : I did. And this is very different.

  Amanda Rollins : Not much. Could you remember you remember Esther, the last girl we let walk out of here?

  Olivia Benson : Rollins, you can't take her.

• Chinua Iwobi : I didn't know that man was crazy when I picked him up.

  Amanda Rollins : You didn't think it was weird he had a naked girl wrapped up in a sheet?

  Chinua Iwobi : He said it was his daughter. He was taking her to the hospital.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why didn't you call the police?

  Chinua Iwobi : I wanted to, man. I really did. But...

  Odafin Tutuola : You're illegal.

  Chinua Iwobi : I'm here for ten years now. I have a wife and kids. Please don't send me back.

  Odafin Tutuola : Oh, we don't deal with any of that.

  Chinua Iwobi : Last week, I got robbed with a gun to my head. $600. And I was too scared to report it.

  Odafin Tutuola : [handing him a business card]  Listen, man. If that happens to you again, call me. Right now, we're only concerned with your fare in that car last night.

• Odafin Tutuola : So I can pick one and do whatever?

  Luke Francis : Within reason. But you mess up my investment, that would not be cool. You look like a guy with impeccable taste. Have you made a decision?

  Odafin Tutuola : I have.

  [showing his badge] 

  Odafin Tutuola : You're under arrest.

• Odafin Tutuola : Gabriela, why'd you run away?

  Amanda Rollins : [seeing her reluctance to say]  Were the Wellbecks nice people?

  Gabriella Sosa : Yes. Very nice. But I miss my mommy. It make me sad.

  Odafin Tutuola : Well, you know your mother's very far away, right?

  Gabriella Sosa : Yes. Why la migra take her, Miss Amanda?

  Amanda Rollins : Because when your mother crossed the border, she broke the laws of our country.

  Gabriella Sosa : But what did I do?

  Amanda Rollins : You didn't do anything wrong, sweetie.

• Amanda Rollins : Who you calling?

  Odafin Tutuola : Carisi. He can help me pick up this lead.

  Amanda Rollins : Are you kidding?

  Odafin Tutuola : This guy's violent. You know that, right?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, and I can run and gun same as you, Fin. Pregnant or not.

  Odafin Tutuola : And what if something happens?

  Amanda Rollins : Then it's not your problem. Stop treating me like a ride-along.

• Odafin Tutuola : So Uncle Luke is all she gave you.

  Dominick Carisi : Yeah, this girl was groomed to keep her mouth shut.

  Odafin Tutuola : That name didn't pop on the registry. Anything on the john that assaulted her?

  Dominick Carisi : She was fuzzy, you know? I think Luke gave her some kind of tranquilizer.

• Amanda Rollins : So, the hospital sent their camera footage over. This is the entrance to the hospital.

  Dominick Carisi : Car pulls up. And the door opens. Yeah, we got a driver, guy in the back seat. No clear shot of the faces.

  Odafin Tutuola : I can't make out the numbers, but that's a T-plate. That could be an Uber.

  Amanda Rollins : Or a car service.

  Odafin Tutuola : Okay, get it to TARU to enhance the image. We find the driver, we find the perp.
