Bill Irwin: Dr. Peter Lindstrom

Quotes 

• Dr. Peter Lindstrom : So Noah and a little girl had a... a disagreement. She had the toy he wanted or the cupcake.

  Olivia Benson : Yes, and I say what if it's something else? What if it's something more?

  Dr. Peter Lindstrom : What do you mean?

  Olivia Benson : Well, sometimes I worry that...

  Dr. Peter Lindstrom : That Noah may turn into his father?

  Olivia Benson : Yes.

  Dr. Peter Lindstrom : Did you turn into your father?

  Olivia Benson : Well, I didn't turn into a rapist, if that's what you mean. But I think about him all the time, and I think about what he did and the choices that he made. I think about it a lot. And I've been dealing with this for quite a long time, even before I met you. And no matter... what I do, I still worry that...

  Dr. Peter Lindstrom : About what, Olivia?

  Olivia Benson : That somehow his... darkness will overpower my life and my choices, because... I've been there before. I've been angry. I've been... violent.

  Dr. Peter Lindstrom : I know. And I know how much that frightened you, but I don't believe that's who you really are. My opinion? Your strength, your moral compass, your belief systems... more powerful than your father's DNA.
