Deputy Chief William Dodds
- Olivia Benson: Optimum Air knew that Carter raped her, and still they put her in that cockpit with him.
- William Dodds: Fine. But if you proceed with this case, I suggest you get yourself a big umbrella, 'cause the skies are gonna open up and a lot of federal crap is gonna come raining down on your head.
- Olivia Benson: My umbrella is... plenty big.
- Odafin Tutuola: [entering as Dodds leaves] Want me to cut him? You know I'll do it.
- William Dodds: How's the little guy doing?
- Olivia Benson: He's great. He's stayed up past 10:00 every night this week. And last night, I let him finish an entire ice cream sundae, while watching cartoons, in my bed.
- William Dodds: And you?
- Olivia Benson: Well... as long as I don't close my eyes, I'm good.
- William Dodds: After the military, Mike decides he wants to tend bar at this dive, Lucky's.
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, in Hell's Kitchen.
- William Dodds: Before it was chic. After he died, every night for... six months, I'd go into Lucky's. And order one too many vodka sodas. I could tell you not to beat yourself up over Sheila. But if there's one thing I hate, it's a hypocrite.
- Olivia Benson: Thanks, chief.
- Olivia Benson: [cleaning up Noah's toys] This is what three weeks off with a five year old looks like.
- William Dodds: Noah back at school?
- Olivia Benson: Yeah, Lucy took him in. I'm just ready to head into the office myself.
- William Dodds: You could take a few more weeks, you know.
- Olivia Benson: Thank you, but I think if Noah and I spent one more day together, we'd both end up in straightjackets.
