Philip Winchester: ADA Peter Stone

Quotes 

• Peter Stone : [to SA Jefferies]  You know, when I was a kid, my grandfather had a cottage in the Dunes in Rhode Island. We would get up early and we'd walk the beaches together. One morning, there was thousands of sea turtle hatchlings crawling towards the surf. And we could see that the tide was going out, and most of them weren't going to make it. And I said, "Grandpa, these baby turtles are going to die." And he picked up a hatchling and he walked it to the water. "This one won't, and this one won't, and this one won't."

• Peter Stone : [to Olivia]  You arrested a federal agent?

  Olivia Benson : That's right.

  Peter Stone : Who was just doing his job.

  Olivia Benson : And I was just doing my job.

  Peter Stone : And what's your next move now, Olivia? Do you actually think this is gonna stick?

  Olivia Benson : Come on, Peter. I'm not that naive.

  Peter Stone : Well, then what are you doing? I have every media outlet in the city putting this story out there.

  Olivia Benson : I was doing it to make a point.

  Peter Stone : I don't prosecute cases to make points.

  Olivia Benson : Well, then I will find someone who will. Weren't you the one that told me that the only wars worth fighting for are the ones you can't win?

• Peter Stone : They're so young.

  Olivia Benson : Yeah. And two of them escaped violent homes. Uh, another one was living with her demented grandmother and ran out of food. We're trying to get the details on the rest of the kids. You know, we're just trying to keep them comfortable until we can place them somewhere.

  Peter Stone : Where'd your perp find them?

  Olivia Benson : Uh, on the street. In a park. One was actually plucked from a playground. He has a talent for spotting, uh, vulnerability.

  Peter Stone : Why do they stay with him?

  Olivia Benson : They think they're contributing to the household. He has utterly manipulated them. Except for one.

  Amanda Rollins : [talking to Gabriela]  Are you thirsty?

  Olivia Benson : She's afraid of the guy that we collared. And even more afraid of us. You need to meet Uncle Luke.

• Peter Stone : Mr. Francis, I'm ADA Stone.

  Luke Francis : Ah, brought in the big guns with some big guns. Is he gonna smack me around?

  Dominick Carisi : No, but I might, after what you did to those girls.
