Quotes
-
Chuck Inslow : Garrett Howard and his stepdaughter, Mackenzie Tolliver, 13. Neighbor said she was screaming bloody murder.
Olivia Benson : Where's Mom?
Chuck Inslow : I didn't think to ask. It's more up your alley, anyway.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You suspect child abuse?
Chuck Inslow : There was evidence of a fight. She wouldn't say if she was hurt and Dad cut himself on some glass. Figured I'd bring 'em both here to get checked out.
Olivia Benson : Okay, we'll take it from here.
-
Garrett Howard : Is she okay?
Amanda Rollins : She's fine, considering.
Garrett Howard : Did she say who the father was?
Amanda Rollins : She said it's a man that she met at Whole Foods. She doesn't know his name.
Garrett Howard : That's ridiculous.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I know. She's... she's covering for somebody.
Garrett Howard : Why would she do that?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Because she's 13 years old and this is a lot to handle.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You ever work one-on-one with Mackenzie?
Quentin Dreyfus : Alone? Yeah, sure. I read lines with her. I do with all the students.
Amanda Rollins : Maybe a little more often with Mackenzie?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, what with her being a natural and all.
Quentin Dreyfus : You're kidding me, right? I would think a couple of detectives would see right through student gossip. Hormones set teenage fantasies flying.
Amanda Rollins : This may be a little more than fantasy, Mr. Dreyfus.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Mackenzie Tolliver is pregnant.
Quentin Dreyfus : She's only 13.
[realizing]
Quentin Dreyfus : Oh, my god. You think that I'm the father.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Is there a reason that we shouldn't?
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : The marriage license was duly recorded in a courthouse in Caruthersville, Missouri on August 27, 2018.
Olivia Benson : It's a year after her mother died. She was too young to even know what marriage means.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : It's bonkers. Almost twenty states have no minimum age for marriage. Over 200,000 kids were married since 1999, some as young as 11. Turns out Caruthersville is a real hot spot for child brides.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Under the Missouri statute, a child under 16 can get married as long as they have the consent of a blood relative.
Olivia Benson : Okay.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Now, this consent was executed by Marcus Tolliver. That's Mackenzie's father.
Olivia Benson : He's a junkie who's in the wind.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Right, he was in Rikers, he did three years for attempted burglary, he got released four years ago, and then nothing until this.
Olivia Benson : Track him down. Relatives, family, friends.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She's got a, uh, she's got an aunt in Connecticut, Penelope Archer.
Olivia Benson : Go.
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : She and Garrett are married.
Penelope Archer : She's 13.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Apparently, that's legal in Missouri.
Penelope Archer : [surprised] Missouri.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, and that's not all. She's pregnant.
Penelope Archer : With his child?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's what they're saying.
