Quotes 

• Detective Frank Bucci : What was my wife thinking, taking my girls on that boat with Getz, huh? What was she thinking?

  Amanda Rollins : You're not thinking. You were in a relationship where people don't think...

  Detective Frank Bucci : She's on that boat with Getz right now. I should've killed that son of a bitch in the court when I had the...

  Amanda Rollins : He's not worth it.

  Detective Frank Bucci : It is for me, if it saves my girls.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah?

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah.

  Amanda Rollins : How about you in jail for kidnapping? What does that do for them? Your daughters need their father, Frank.

• Dr. Alexis Hanover : Dylan, I'm in... I'm in the middle of a group session. Go to your pop's in Brooklyn.

  Dylan Hanover : Wait, what? I forgot my key. Just buzz me in. I'll go in my room.

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : Call Leo. I'm busy.

  Dylan Hanover : Mom?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : I'm hanging up now. Go.

  Detective Frank Bucci : What's this Pop? What's his name?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : I just said. It's Leo.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Leo gonna ask any questions?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : No. He's a drummer; he doesn't notice things. It's why we got divorced.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You don't let him get to see his kid much?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : End game of a marriage; takes its toll on everyone.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah. Unless you're married to a psycho.

• Detective Frank Bucci : Shut up, shut up. Let me think.

  Amanda Rollins : I'm not lying to you. You know me. Put the gun down. Walk away.

  Detective Frank Bucci : It's too late. I took a civilian hostage.

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : Did you? O-Or did you come here to get counseling?

  Detective Frank Bucci : I threatened her captain.

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : I-I can honestly say that... that you were under extreme stress and that we resolved the issue a-at the end of the session.

  Amanda Rollins : Frank, you're NYPD. So you lost it when the man who raped your daughter walked away? God, nobody's gonna wanna come after you.

  Detective Frank Bucci : It doesn't solve my problems. No one wants to go after Getz. He laughed at me in court, and now he's got my daughters on a boat God knows doing what. He needs to be stopped.

  Amanda Rollins : We'll get him. Frank, we'll get him. We'll keep investigating, you have my word.

  Detective Frank Bucci : No, you said that before. This guy's got too much leverage.

  Amanda Rollins : This isn't the way to bring him down! You already said it, right? You know the drill. My car's parked right out front. They'll GPS it. My phone; you smashed it, but they'll... they'll track it.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You're right, okay? You're right, all right? I got a new plan. Yeah, new plan.

• Amanda Rollins : You want Getz.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah, what do you think?

  Amanda Rollins : This isn't the way. We can... we can still walk out of here, and Frank, I-I swear, I will help you, I will help...

  Detective Frank Bucci : Now you're lying. I've been a cop half my life. I've been in hostage situations, shot, investigated. Anything you try, I'm one step ahead, and I'm not afraid to go down for this, I'm not.

  [hearing the doorbell ring] 

  Detective Frank Bucci : Who is that? Who is that?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : I don't know. Amanda's my last patient. I have a-a doorbell app on my... on my iPad. It's-it's on my desk.

  Dylan Hanover : Mom, sorry. I forgot my key.

  Detective Frank Bucci : This is your kid? Get rid of him before I do.

• Detective Frank Bucci : [led into SVU]  Ivy, Milly?

  Olivia Benson : They're safe. They're with social services.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Nah, call my mom. She'll come up from Florida.

  Olivia Benson : We've already called her. She's on her way.

  Katriona Tamin : I'm taking him to holding.

  Amanda Rollins : Easy, he's NYPD.

  Odafin Tutuola : Like hell he is.

• Olivia Benson : Hey, Rollins. Everything all right?

  Amanda Rollins : I'm okay. We're all okay.

  Olivia Benson : What's goin' on? Where are you?

  Detective Frank Bucci : You don't need to know that.

  Olivia Benson : Who's there with you?

  Detective Frank Bucci : It's Frank Bucci.

  Olivia Benson : Detective, take it easy.

  Detective Frank Bucci : No, no. You listen to me. Getz has got my girls, I got one of yours.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, I hear that, I hear that, but... but, but just hold on for a second. We can talk about this.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You don't get her back 'til Getz goes down.

  Olivia Benson : Frank, Frank... let's talk about this.

  Detective Frank Bucci : I know you. You get things done. Do it.

  Olivia Benson : Frank, do not hang up.

  Detective Frank Bucci : I'm not negotiating.

• Amanda Rollins : [watching Bucci smash her cell]  It's not gonna make a difference, Frank. The last ping will still be in the vicnity.

  Detective Frank Bucci : I'm not worried. I'm not worried.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah? Pills, whiskey? If you're gonna hold people hostage, it usually helps to be lucid.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You think I'm here for my health?

• Amanda Rollins : Frank, I could use something to eat.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah, so you can make a run for it?

  Amanda Rollins : No, I'm-I... I'm just... I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry?

  Detective Frank Bucci : Ah, we'll get breakfast later. Do you have any cash?

  Amanda Rollins : You're really not good at this, are you?

• Amanda Rollins : Frank, come on. Just... just let me... let me out of these cuffs, come on.

  Detective Frank Bucci : I do that, you bolt.

  Amanda Rollins : No, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do anything.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You're trying to play me.

  Amanda Rollins : No, I'm not.

  Detective Frank Bucci : It's not gonna work.

  Amanda Rollins : I'm not gonna play you, I just...

  Detective Frank Bucci : Come on.

  Amanda Rollins : Come on, Frank. My arms are killing me, I got no circulation, my nose itches, there's something in my eye.

  Detective Frank Bucci : All right, all right, all right, I promise...

  Amanda Rollins : Let me go. Just take 'em off.

  Detective Frank Bucci : If you stop talking, I'll pull over.

• Amanda Rollins : They know you're here at the front desk?

  Detective Frank Bucci : I'm not perfect, okay?

  Amanda Rollins : What I learned growing up, all dads cheat.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Hey, whatever you're trying to say, just stop.

  Amanda Rollins : Do you have to keep the gun on me?

  Detective Frank Bucci : I took the cuffs off, okay? Just shush.

• Amanda Rollins : You know, I could've run away any time. I'm faster than you, and we both know you won't shoot me in the back.

  Detective Frank Bucci : You don't know me. We don't even know each other. All we had is a half an hour in a courthouse waiting room. I hit on you. You let me know I was punching above my weight. 'Til all of this, you never thought about me once.

  Amanda Rollins : That's not true, Frank.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Come on. Here comes the Southern charm.

  Amanda Rollins : I'm being honest.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Stop.

  Amanda Rollins : I thought about you.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah. You wanna know what I thought?

  Detective Frank Bucci : What?

  Amanda Rollins : You're a nice guy. You... you say nobody listens to you. But you listen to me. Thought you were a decent guy. Funny; you're worried about your... your kids, your case.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Just another gavone cop hitting on you.

  Amanda Rollins : I thought you were nice, which meant not the guy for me. I can't handle nice.

• Amanda Rollins : Where are we going?

  Detective Frank Bucci : You don't need to know.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, we need to get to a TV, 'cause they... they could've arrested Getz already.

  Detective Frank Bucci : They haven't. I've been checking the news on the radio.

  Amanda Rollins : I just... I wanna know what the plan is.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Jesus, you sound like my wife. Like Donna, except Type A. She's not exactly whatever you are; perfectionist.

  Amanda Rollins : You really don't know me.

  Detective Frank Bucci : What I don't get about you is, why someone like you is seeing a shrink.

  Amanda Rollins : [scoffing laugh]  Made plenty of bad choices, Frank.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Yeah?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah. I mean, I... I got two kids by two different dads; guys I slept with for no good reason. My career? I've been a third grade detective for eight years.

  Detective Frank Bucci : What's holding you back?

  Amanda Rollins : I am, I guess. You're better at this than Dr. Hanover.

• Detective Frank Bucci : What is this? Good shrink, bad cop? It's not gonna work.

  Amanda Rollins : Well, this isn't gonna work, either. There's no plan and you took a gamble, Frank. You know how that pans out for you.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Hey, you think insulting the man that has a gun to your head is a smart move?

  Dr. Alexis Hanover : No, she doesn't. She's just anxious.

  Amanda Rollins : Frank, listen. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm just scared.

  Detective Frank Bucci : Good, then just do what I ask you to do.
