Quotes
-
Detective Ash Ramsey : Anne Gillette, you're under arrest for obstruction of justice, witness tampering...
Anne Gillette : What witness?
Elliot Stabler : Nate Hartman.
Anne Gillette : [to Olivia] You bitch. You set me up.
-
Olivia Benson : At least we've got Anne on a felony embezzlement charge.
Detective Ash Ramsey : Not the world's best case. Prestwick told the Chief of D's it was a misunderstanding. Defense counsel will call that a recant.
Olivia Benson : We've got the business manager.
Detective Ash Ramsey : Nate Hartman's a co-conspirator, so his testimony requires corroboration unless we go federal.
Olivia Benson : Did you go to law school?
Detective Ash Ramsey : London School of Economics.
Olivia Benson : Not a lot of MBA's on this job.
Detective Ash Ramsey : Economics and mathematics impose order on chaos like police work.
Olivia Benson : Learning something new about you all the time.

Detective Ash Ramsey : [When Olivia and the police arrive at Ramsey's apartment]
[to Olivia]
Detective Ash Ramsey : Don't you ever sleep?
Olivia Benson : You didn't answer your phone.
Detective Ash Ramsey : So you asked Truck One to boom my door?
Olivia Benson : They're here to protect you. Anne Gillette just took out a hit on us.
-
Olivia Benson : [about Anne Gillette] But why would the Prestwick Foundation want her on the board?
Detective Ash Ramsey : Daddy gave them $10 million.
Elliot Stabler : I got my daughter a job at Target. Didn't cost me a dime.
Detective Ash Ramsey : I'm sure your daughter's more qualified to sit on the Prestwick Foundation board.
-
Detective Ash Ramsey : I suppose I should explain.
Elliot Stabler : Look, no need. I hate the bitch as much as you do.
Detective Ash Ramsey : It's hardly worth booking her. Two misdemeanors for witness tampering? She'll waltz out of arraignments on low bail, the minute the judge gavels.
Elliot Stabler : We got nothing on the murder.
Detective Ash Ramsey : We could get a felony charge if Nigel Prestwick cooperates on the embezzlement.
Elliot Stabler : Okay. Does he have any weaknesses we can leverage?
Detective Ash Ramsey : He's a milquetoast, typical fifth generation WASP elite. Inbreeding has melted their brains.
Elliot Stabler : There's got to be something. I mean, is he a tax cheat? A philanderer?
Detective Ash Ramsey : Just a cheapskate. Nigel bills all his personal expenses to the Foundation. It pays his dues at the Yale Club, the Century Club, and something called the Donatien Society. What did I miss?
Olivia Benson : Mr. Milquetoast is not so vanilla. Hold off on transporting Anne. Let's go talk to Prestwick.
-
Anne Gillette : I will kill you. I will kill you all! Get off of me! Get off!
Detective Ash Ramsey : Finally, the mask comes off.
Olivia Benson : We get to see the real Anne Gillette.
-
Anne Gillette : It's a terrible burden, growing up rich. They give us too much, they give us too little, but in the end, there's all that money waiting when they're dead.
Detective Ash Ramsey : And you were tired of waiting.
Anne Gillette : Tired, yes, but only tired. You will find plenty of witnesses that will tell you I spoke of being frustrated, but so is Prince Charles and he hasn't offed his mother.
-
Detective Ash Ramsey : This picture's worth 10 pairs of Prada.
Nigel Prestwick : Please. Delete it.
Detective Ash Ramsey : I will. After you press charges on Anne Gillette for embezzlement.
Nigel Prestwick : You don't know what you're asking of me. The scandal will ruin the Foundation, donors will lose respect for us...
Olivia Benson : Your wife is going to lose respect for you after she finds out about your dirty little fetish. You think you're pretty clever there, naming your secret society after the Marquis de Sade: Donatien Alphonse Francois.
Detective Ash Ramsey : You can protect Anne, or you can save your own skin, but you can't do both.
Olivia Benson : You see, because last year, we arrested two sadists who were members of your little club and I remember we seized a whole lot of videos. You know, we should check the evidence locker to see if our friend Nigel here is on tape. Because I specifically remember, there was one on Nazi role...
Nigel Prestwick : Enough! I'll do it.
-
Detective Ash Ramsey : [When Olivia sees Camilla leave Ramsey's apartment]
[to Olivia]
Detective Ash Ramsey : Don't say it. Conflict of interest, gross impropriety, compromising the case...
Olivia Benson : You could have kissed her goodnight.
Detective Ash Ramsey : I didn't make her climb down the fire escape.
-
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : Good thing you didn't ask me to take this case a year ago. After 9/11, all our manpower went to anti-terrorism.
Olivia Benson : The U.S. Attorney's Office has jurisdiction over bank fraud. You're all we have left.
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : How solid is your evidence?
Detective Ash Ramsey : I spent six months on a forensic accounting of the Foundation's books. I've got affidavits from every bank, plus a match between embezzled cash and Anne Gillette's expenditures.
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : And there's the rub.
Olivia Benson : You don't want to go after Anne Gillette.
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : Her parents have given millions to politicians.
Olivia Benson : Her dead parents who she killed.
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : Which you can't prove.
Detective Ash Ramsey : But we will, and when we do, you can fold the homicide right into your case. She tried to cover up the theft with her parents' cash. The cases are inextricably linked.
Olivia Benson : Homicide's the big show, but they're usually state cases. Do you know how many federal prosecutors go their entire career without ever trying a murder?
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : Get me the files. I'll draft a writ moving Anne Gillette into federal custody.
Detective Ash Ramsey : Thank you, Camilla.
U.S. Attorney Camilla Velez : And she'll spend the night at Rikers. You can move her down to MCC tomorrow.
Olivia Benson : I'll give Elliot the good news.
