Quotes 

• Waiter : Have you made a decision?

  Dr. Al Pollack : We'll have one of everything. Every dessert on the menu. And coffee. Uh, decaf for the lady.

  Waiter : Very good, sir.

  Amanda Rollins : Thank you.

  [the waiter leaves] 

  Amanda Rollins : A girl could get used to this.

• Amanda Rollins : We all realize that this sucks.

  Dominick Carisi : Yeah, you know what sucks, Rollins? This is what sucks. A busload of nuns could say that Peter Stone was in Albuquerque at the time of this rape. And still, somewhere in the back of my mind, every time I see him I'm gonna wonder, "did he?" That's what sucks.

  Sgt. Fin Tutuola : And we know it.

• Dominick Carisi : Hey, I'm going to the deli. You want anything?

  Amanda Rollins : No, I'm-I'm good.

  Dominick Carisi : All right. Steak for lunch, huh? I guess you are good.

  Amanda Rollins : It was leftovers. Al always over-orders.

  Dominick Carisi : Al, huh? How are things going with the good doctor? Using the term "good" pretty loosely here.

• Amanda Rollins : If I wanted a "why buy the cow" speech, I'd call my mother.

  Dominick Carisi : No, Rollins, I'm just saying that you deserve to be happy. You deserve to be taken care of.

  Amanda Rollins : And Al takes care of me.

  Dominick Carisi : No, he doesn't. Look, there is a difference between flowers and fancy-ass dinners and being taken care of.

  Amanda Rollins : You know what? People can change.

  Dominick Carisi : I'll believe that when I see it.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay.

  Dominick Carisi : Hey, I'm gonna get you a ginger ale, all right? That steak's gonna give you indigestion.

• Sgt. Fin Tutuola : Way things are now, we're all looking at our past through a new prism.

  Dominick Carisi : Come on. We're talking about Peter Stone here. All right? There's a big difference between buying a woman another drink at the bar and-and-and felony rape.

  Amanda Rollins : Et tu, Carisi?

  Sgt. Fin Tutuola : We were all young and stupid, Amanda.

  Amanda Rollins : In my personal experience, age has nothing to do with it.

• Amanda Rollins : You doing okay?

  Dominick Carisi : Rollins, I know that our job is to believe survivors. That we start from there. On this one, I believe him. I...

  Amanda Rollins : You're allowed to feel that way.

  Dominick Carisi : I don't think that I am.

• Amanda Rollins : You know, you were right about me moving in with Al. It's, uh... it's not my style. The square footage, the, the fancy... Japanese toilets.

  Dominick Carisi : No, no, no. Don't listen to me. Don't listen to me. You-you gotta do what's right for you. For-for Jesse, for this... this little baby. Also, I heard those Japenese toilets? They're supposed to be pretty spectacular.

• Amanda Rollins : I don't know what I want, Carisi. I do know what I don't want. I don't want me and this new baby and Jesse and Frannie all crammed into my tiny two-bedroom apartment.
