Alexandra Cabot : I'm sorry, Mr. Kurtz. It's out of my hands.

Peter Kurtz : [to Olivia] Look, Detective, what aren't you telling me?
Olivia Benson : There's no easy way to say this. Rebecca's been sexually abused.
Peter Kurtz : What?
Olivia Benson : We're still investigating, but the doctor said that she'd tested positive for gonorrhea.
Peter Kurtz : Oh, God. How could this be happening?
Olivia Benson : In these kinds of cases, it's typically somebody who knew the victim.
Peter Kurtz : Well, then it must have been at school. I mean, she's there most of the day.
Olivia Benson : I understand that you're her primary caregiver?
Peter Kurtz : Yeah, I... You're accusing me of hurting Rebecca?
Olivia Benson : Sir, we're not accusing anyone.
Peter Kurtz : Yes, you are. You think I raped my daughter.
Olivia Benson : Mr. Kurtz. It's my job to rule everyone out. Now, you'd really help us out if you'd consent to a gonorrhea test.
Peter Kurtz : You go to hell.

Raquel Kurtz : Do you have children, Detectives?
Elliot Stabler : I have four.
Raquel Kurtz : Then how can you put us through this?

Peter Kurtz : [after the Kurtzes watch a video of Missy and Joey sexually assaulting Rebecca] Why? We loved that girl from the moment she came into our home!
[to Olivia]
Peter Kurtz : That bastard gave them both gonorrhea?
Olivia Benson : No, Mr. Kurtz, he didn't. Joey never had it.
Raquel Kurtz : My God. Missy gave it to Rebecca?
[sobs]
Raquel Kurtz : Oh, my God! Oh, my God! How didn't we see?
Olivia Benson : Because Missy made sure that you wouldn't.
