Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : Where's Noah, Sheila?
Sheila Porter : What do you think? He's sleeping.
Olivia Benson : I just want to see him.
Sheila Porter : No. No.
Olivia Benson : I'm his mother, Sheila.
Sheila Porter : Why? 'Cause a judge signed a piece of paper? That doesn't make you his mother.
Olivia Benson : Actually... actually, Sheila, it does.
-
Sheila Porter : He is my blood. He is my family. He will never be a part of you the way he is a part of me.
Olivia Benson : Blood isn't the only thing that makes families, Sheila. Legally... Noah is my son.
Sheila Porter : The law says that I would have received notice. If you followed the law, we wouldn't even be here.
Olivia Benson : Sheila... Sheila... I am the only mother that he knows. Sheila, listen to me. Have you... have you thought about... do you realize what this would do to him?
Sheila Porter : He... he is a smart boy. He'll adapt, and this is a much better place for him. There's fresh air. He can play in the woods. This is how you raise a boy. Better than that filthy, dirty city. And you? You're at work all the time. I will be here for him.
Olivia Benson : I am here for him. Come on, Sheila. You know me. I won't let that happen.
-
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, Liv? It's me. Listen, are you sure Noah wasn't wearing a blue shirt?
Olivia Benson : Yes, yes. Why? What is it?
Amanda Rollins : Because security cams have him in a blue hoodie.
Olivia Benson : Hold on.
[to Sheila]
Sheila Porter : Sheila, are you sure that he was wearing a black shirt under the green jacket?
Sheila Porter : Positive
Olivia Benson : You're sure that it wasn't a blue hoodie?
Sheila Porter : No, he was in a black long-sleeved shirt.
Olivia Benson : [to Rollins] Okay, no, it was black.
Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I... I heard. So the guy must have brought it with him. Liv, this wasn't spontaneous.
Olivia Benson : Okay, what... but what guy?
Amanda Rollins : I'll... I'll send you a screenshot.
-
Sheila Porter : What if he hurts Noah?
Olivia Benson : You can't... you can't think like that.
Sheila Porter : I know, but...
Olivia Benson : Sheila, we're gonna get him back.
Sheila Porter : Oh, he could be anywhere right now. I've been through this. I know the odds of finding a child.
Olivia Benson : This is different, Sheila.
Sheila Porter : No, it's not.
Olivia Benson : Ellie didn't want to be found, Sheila.
[realizing she's overstepped]
Olivia Benson : I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. I'm scared out of my mind. That's all.
Sheila Porter : You don't have to be sorry for anything. You cry and you scream. You're... as a mother, you're entitled.
-
Sheila Porter : I'm not a bad person, Olivia. I'm trying to let you go.
Olivia Benson : I can't do that.
Sheila Porter : Why? You can just get another little baby. You... you can sign another piece of paper. You can adopt another little boy; a little boy who needs a family. You don't know what this means. You... you can never know.
Olivia Benson : You're not his mother, Sheila.
Noah : [entering from his bedroom] Mommy!
-
Sheila Porter : I am so sorry, Olivia. I just turned away and he was gone.
Olivia Benson : Okay, where... where were you?
Sheila Porter : It was in the store. We were, um, trying on coats, and, uh... and I turned away to get a different one with a hood. It wasn't even ten seconds.
Olivia Benson : Was he... was he mad?
Sheila Porter : No, no.
Olivia Benson : Was he upset?
Sheila Porter : Of course not.
Olivia Benson : Well, I'm just trying to figure out what happened, because he doesn't walk away when I'm with him, so what happened? What were you talking about?
Sheila Porter : I don't know. Something about the... the hood. The hood.
Olivia Benson : Okay, and you checked the entire store?
Sheila Porter : Yes, with the manager. He wasn't anywhere. That's when I called you.
-
Sheila Porter : What?
Olivia Benson : They found the car at a bus station.
Sheila Porter : Oh, god. They could be anywhere.
