[looking at Buchanan's figure]
Rita Calhoun : Not all of us have to worry about our next meal.
Rafael Barba : Getting personal. That's promising.

John Buchanan : If I understood you just now, it's because the assailant is naive or shy that she waited four days to disclose?
Olivia Benson : No, that's not what I said. I said it's not unusual at all for any victim to wait to disclose. Victims often need time to process what happened to them before approaching police.
John Buchanan : You mean before approaching you. She went to her local precinct first, and they chose not to pursue an investigation.
Olivia Benson : Because local precincts aren't properly trained in sexual assault. That's why the NYPD created the Special Victims Unit in the first place.

Rafael Barba : [after Chris and his family refuse to accept a plea deal] Chris, is this what you want? To go to trial?
Chris Roberts : Does that mean I'm on the news? Everybody knows who I am?
Rafael Barba : Once you're arrested and charged, your name is made public. Anytime anyone Googles you for the rest of your life, this is what will come up.
Dennis Roberts : Don't threaten my son. This girl's slandering him. We need to fight this.
Chris Roberts : Mr. Barba, what if I just say sorry to Abby and her family?
Ellen Roberts : You have nothing to be sorry for.
Dennis Roberts : No, absolutely not. Let's go.
John Buchanan : [to Barba] We're calling your bluff. No deal. You want to take this to trial, you'll regret it.
