Quotes

Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, you should know that your baby will be born in prison.
Garrett Howard : Stop!
Mr. Kayman : Don't say anything!
Garrett Howard : I killed Dreyfus. I had to.
Mackenzie Tolliver : No, you didn't! He wasn't going to say anything!
Garrett Howard : You should never have told him about us.
Mackenzie Tolliver : He was my friend. After the cops talked to him, they told him I was pregnant. He came to me, he was worried about me, but he promised not to say anything.
Garrett Howard : I lost your mother. I couldn't take the chance that anyone would find out about us.
Olivia Benson : But your marriage was legal. There's nothing to be ashamed of, unless...
Garrett Howard : I am not ashamed! You look at her. How could you not fall in love with someone so beautiful and so sweet? An angel sent from heaven to bless my life, to bless me, and look at us now. Your stupid laws have ruined us. My whole life I've searched for real love, and I found it. What was I supposed to do?
Olivia Benson : Waiting 'til she was 18 would've been a good start.
-
Mackenzie Tolliver : [When Mackenzie is being questioned about the father of her baby] Why do you even care? I'm old enough to make my own decisions.
Amanda Rollins : No one is saying you're not. We're concerned though and your stepfather's concerned.
Olivia Benson : Listen, we just want what's best for you.

Mackenzie Tolliver : [to Olivia] Mr. Kayman, the lawyer, he said that Garrett would be out on bail before dinner. He spoke to Family Services so I could stay home.
Olivia Benson : And you're okay with that?
Mackenzie Tolliver : With my teacher being dead or that my stepdad's the one... It was my fault that he went over there. It was an accident, right?
Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, it's it's normal to be afraid, to be sad, to be scared. I can... I can help you find a place to stay tonight.
Mackenzie Tolliver : No, no, no. It's fine. I'm just... I'm focusing on dinner.
Olivia Benson : What are you making?
Mackenzie Tolliver : Veal chops. Garrett's favorite.
Olivia Benson : When I was 13, the only thing I could make was Pop-Tarts.
-
Mackenzie Tolliver : [to Olivia] What are you doing here?
Olivia Benson : I care about you.
Mackenzie Tolliver : Right, that's why you ruined my life?
Olivia Benson : He killed your friend, Mackenzie. He manipulated you.
Mackenzie Tolliver : I wanted to.
Olivia Benson : No, he made you think that you wanted to.
Mackenzie Tolliver : You're just jealous.
Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, I didn't know your mother, but I guarantee you she wouldn't have approved of you getting married at this age.
Mackenzie Tolliver : How do you know?
Olivia Benson : Because I know that she loved you and I know she would've done anything to protect you. Just like I would do anything to protect my son and keep him happy and keep him safe. Just like you would do anything to protect your baby. Honey, I know that this is hard to see right now.
Mackenzie Tolliver : Why? Because I'm just a kid?
Olivia Benson : No, honey, that's a good thing. That's a great thing and it's it's a mistake to run away from that.
Mackenzie Tolliver : I'm not stupid, you know.
Olivia Benson : I know that, but you were vulnerable and Garrett took advantage of that.
Mackenzie Tolliver : I took good care of him.
Olivia Benson : Honey, I know.
Mackenzie Tolliver : When he looked at me, it made me feel...
Olivia Benson : Wanted? Needed? Loved?
Mackenzie Tolliver : Like I was a real woman.
Olivia Benson : Oh, sweetheart, but, sweetheart, you're not yet. The truth of the matter is you should've been out riding bikes with your friends, gossiping with your friends, and Garrett took something from you that is that is irreplaceable.
Mackenzie Tolliver : My childhood?
Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, but what I can promise you Is the way your baby is gonna look at you. It's going to make you feel more loved, more needed than you can ever imagine, but it's an awesome responsibility.
Mackenzie Tolliver : I bet you're a good mom.
Olivia Benson : I don't know. It's just trial and error.
-
Garrett Howard : It's nothing, really.
Chuck Inslow : Well, that's not what your neighbor says.
Mackenzie Tolliver : Yeah, well, she's a nosy bitch. Always butting in where she's not wanted.
Chuck Inslow : That's enough.
Mackenzie Tolliver : Are you going to arrest us?
Garrett Howard : It... it's just a big misunderstanding.
Chuck Inslow : A lot of blood and broken glass for a misunderstanding.
-
Mackenzie Tolliver : He was just some guy.
Amanda Rollins : What was his name?
Mackenzie Tolliver : I don't know. I was buying yogurt in Whole Foods. We started talking. It was only one time in his car.
Amanda Rollins : So he's old enough to drive.
Mackenzie Tolliver : You don't understand. I wanted to; he didn't force me or anything like that.
Amanda Rollins : Listen, Mackenzie, if he was a grown man... it's not okay.
-
Mr. Kayman : Okay, we're here. Why? You got me. It's too late for a deal, Stone.
Peter Stone : I'm considering dropping the charges against your client.
Garrett Howard : Thank you.
Mr. Kayman : Yeah, no thanks necessary. He wasn't going to win anyway.
Peter Stone : I'm charging you, Mackenzie.
Mackenzie Tolliver : What?
Garrett Howard : You can't do that.
Olivia Benson : Actually, he can. Mackenzie, you're the one who put the false idea in Garrett's head that you were sleeping with Mr. Dreyfus.
Peter Stone : And it's completely foreseeable that a stepfather would take vengeance against the man sexually preying on his stepdaughter.
Olivia Benson : Especially when the two of you are so close.
-
Olivia Benson : Mackenzie, I need to talk to you about something.
Mackenzie Tolliver : No, I can't. Not right now.
Olivia Benson : Sweetie, it's important. I'm not sure that you're telling me the truth about Mr. Dreyfus.
Mackenzie Tolliver : I am.
Olivia Benson : Okay. Well, then, would you mind telling me exactly how it happened. All right? You said that you didn't know his name and you said that you met in Whole Foods.
Mackenzie Tolliver : Well, I didn't want to get him in trouble.
Olivia Benson : Well, that's understandable, but I think maybe there's somebody else that you don't want to get in trouble.
Mackenzie Tolliver : You're clueless.
Olivia Benson : Well, then clue me in. Mackenzie, do you feel safe when you're at home with Garrett?
Mackenzie Tolliver : He's not gonna hurt me. Wait, you think he put this baby in me?
Olivia Benson : Did he?
Mackenzie Tolliver : It was Mr. Dreyfus. Now that he's dead, I can't even prove it.
Olivia Benson : Well, we don't think that it was him. And if Garrett killed Dreyfus because of your lie...
Mackenzie Tolliver : It only matters if he knows I was lying, right?
