Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : Mrs. Osborne, we're gonna have to place you under arrest.
Michelle Osborne : For what?
Olivia Benson : Conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
Michelle Osborne : Go ahead. You'll see I'm right.
-
Olivia Benson : Michelle, this has got to stop now. Okay, we know everything. Anna was on the police report from your husband's accident. She died in the car with him.
Michelle Osborne : No. They never found her remains.
Olivia Benson : Michelle, they were hit by a gasoline tanker. There was nothing left. I'm sorry, but you know what I'm telling you is the truth.
Michelle Osborne : I know my daughter is alive!
-
Michelle Osborne : You can't kidnap your own daughter.
ADA Casey Novak : The law says she isn't yours.
Michelle Osborne : Well, the law is wrong.
Donna Emmett : Well, we should just forget about the law and focus on what's right.
ADA Casey Novak : What's right is for your client to accept that she has no claim to Patty.

Sarah Branson : [to Michelle] I know you lost your daughter, but can't you see what you're doing to Patty?
Michelle Osborne : She's my flesh and blood.
Sarah Branson : But she came from inside me. She kicked in my belly. She nursed from my breast.
Michelle Osborne : She has my genes and my husband's genes.
Sarah Branson : Because of a mistake!
Michelle Osborne : It wasn't a mistake. My daughter died and now God is giving me a second chance.
Sarah Branson : Please. Please. A mother wouldn't do this to any child.
Michelle Osborne : A mother would fight for her child. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna give up until that jury looks me in the eye and tells me that I am guilty of stealing my own child.

ADA Casey Novak : [to Patty] Do you think Michelle is nice?
Patty Branson : She's okay.
ADA Casey Novak : You know what Michelle said about being your egg mommy is true, right?
[Patty doesn't answer her]
ADA Casey Novak : Your Honor?
Judge Walter Bradley : Could you please answer the question, Patty?
Patty Branson : [in tears] No! It's not true!
ADA Casey Novak : Yes, it is, Patty.
Patty Branson : Michelle's not my mommy!
ADA Casey Novak : You came from her egg. That is true.
Patty Branson : I want to go now.
ADA Casey Novak : No. You can't until we're finished.
Patty Branson : I don't want to go with Michelle!
Donna Emmett : Your Honor, she's just a little girl.
Judge Walter Bradley : [to Novak] Is this line of questioning necessary?
ADA Casey Novak : Patty, do you understand?
Patty Branson : I don't want to go with Michelle!
ADA Casey Novak : You don't have to, Patty. Not yet.
Patty Branson : I want my mommy and daddy!
ADA Casey Novak : No, you have to stay here.
Patty Branson : Please! Don't take me away! Please!
Michelle Osborne : [stands up] Stop it! Just stop it.
Judge Walter Bradley : Sit down now, Mrs. Osborne.
Michelle Osborne : Patty, I'm sorry. I won't ever bother you again.
Patty Branson : [as she runs off the witness stand to her parents] Mommy! Mommy!
Michelle Osborne : I've changed my mind. I just want this to stop. I'll plead guilty, if that's what it takes.
