Quotes 

• Evelyn Bundy : [to Carisi]  Do you know what contrapasso means?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : No.

  Evelyn Bundy : It's from Dante's "Inferno." A punishment a sinner gets in hell is the opposite of his sin. So thank you, Mr. Karr. You always did encourage me to read the classics.

• Olivia Benson : The three women got together twenty years after high school and within a few hours, one of their teachers was found castrated in a hotel room.

  Rafael Barba : What's the presumed motive?

  Odafin Tutuola : It wasn't for giving 'em all C's.

  Olivia Benson : Given the nature of the injury, there's a sexual motivation behind it.

  Amanda Rollins : Explains why Karr won't talk.

  Rafael Barba : Yeah, I can't prosecute the assault unless the victim makes an ID.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, well, how about we charge the three women with obstruction?

  Rafael Barba : For asserting their Fifth Amendment rights?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : After they lied to us and obfuscated our investigation.

  Rafael Barba : Obfuscate. Yummy.

  Olivia Benson : Hold on, Rafa. An obstruction charge would certainly leverage some cooperation. If you can't prove the crime, prove the cover-up.

  Rafael Barba : You'd have reasonable cause for an arrest, but my advice is get Jason Karr on board, or this train is going nowhere.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : [Opening lines] 

  [to Fin] 

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So I'm eight years old. I go to the store with my mom. Now, while she's paying, I end up boosting some, uh... some Rolos.

  Odafin Tutuola : When I was that age, I was all about Jujubes.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So what am I gonna do, right? We get outside, pull the Rolos out of my BVDs. She busts me. She makes me go back into the store. I got to cop to everything. I cried... I cried like a little baby, and then I had to do it all over again on Sunday at confession, but bless her heart, she never did tell my old man.

  Odafin Tutuola : My pops would've backhanded me if I did something stupid. I stayed out of trouble mostly out of fear.

• Evelyn Bundy : [to Carisi]  You don't understand. You're a man.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Listen to me, Evelyn. That man is a predator and he should be in prison.

  Evelyn Bundy : Yeah, what do you know about it?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : You're right. I don't know, but I do have a niece. If I found out one of her teachers was doing that to her, cop or no cop, I would beat the living crap out of him.

• Evelyn Bundy : It was the last time I went to his apartment. I went over there to tell him that it was over, because I'd-I'd heard he was seeing some other girl. A senior in his advisory. And he got angry. And he told me that he wasn't ready to say goodbye yet. And then he... he took a corkscrew, and he held it to my face. And he told me not to scream, and then he held me down and forced me to have sex with him, so...

  Olivia Benson : [knocking on the one-way mirror]  You on this?

  Odafin Tutuola : Force. Rape one.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : No statute of limitations.

  Amanda Rollins : Now, hold on. Did she just come up with that because Benson told her that we can't prosecute Karr?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : That's not what I saw.

  Odafin Tutuola : For Evelyn to do what she did to him, I believe every word of it.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : We got a bloody steak knife in the sink here.

  Odafin Tutuola : It is nasty, but why call SVU?

  Uni : Take a look in that ice bucket.

  Odafin Tutuola : [taking the lid off and groaning in disgust]  Aw! Come on.

  Uni : If I'm not mistaken, that's a set of testicles.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Aw, jeez.

  Odafin Tutuola : Confirmed. You found these on ice?

  Uni : They were on the bed. I put 'em in there.

  Odafin Tutuola : Good thinking.

• Julie Wade : Am I in some kind of trouble?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, why don't you tell us about your Visa card again?

  Julie Wade : I'm pretty sure I left it at Costco.

  Amanda Rollins : [showing her the surveillance footage]  Well, that's an out-and-out lie, because you were at the Skyline Hotel on 10th Avenue last night.

  Julie Wade : That isn't me. I mean, it looks like me. But I was home.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Okay, well, we also have your E-ZPass going into the city at 5:07 p.m.

  Amanda Rollins : So how do you know Jason Karr?

  Julie Wade : Who?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Come on. Julie, you're just digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole right now.

  Julie Wade : I don't know him.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Then why was he in your hotel room?

  Amanda Rollins : And why did he leave that room minus his balls?

• Julie Wade : I better get home.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Before your boyfriend misses his four o'clock feeding?

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : Her?

  Odafin Tutuola : No, my money goes on Stanley Kowalski in there.
