Brooke Shields: Sheila Porter

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : Sheila, Noah asked me about Ellie. I specifically told you that I hadn't told him yet.

  Sheila Porter : I know, and I just said it without thinking. Really, he was asking so many questions and I know Ellie loved him.

  Olivia Benson : What was your plan if he asked you what happened to her? If he asked you why she gave him up? If he asked you where he spent the first year of his life, what was your plan?

  Sheila Porter : I wasn't thinking. I really wasn't and I'm very sorry.

  Olivia Benson : Noah's family is... is... your family is complicated. That little boy is 5 years old. When he is old enough and when he is ready, he is going to hear the truth. But until then, Sheila, you have to discuss these things with me first.

  Sheila Porter : You are absolutely right. It will never happen again, I promise you. Olivia, this has been, all of it, wonderful I really just want this to work.

  Olivia Benson : So do I.

  Sheila Porter : Can you forgive me?

  Olivia Benson : Of course. We're both new at this.

  Sheila Porter : Thank you.
