Quotes 

• Alexandra Cabot : Mr. Buchanan wants to talk about you being a criminal, Gladys, so let's just do that. How long were you under the control of your pimp?

  Gladys Dalton : Since I was 12, so ten years.

  Alexandra Cabot : And how many nights a week did he force you to work?

  Gladys Dalton : Five.

  Alexandra Cabot : And how many men did he force you to have sex with each night?

  Gladys Dalton : Like, at least six.

  Alexandra Cabot : And since you were 12, you couldn't consent. And because you were forced, you were raped. So would you estimate you were raped a total of 13,000 times over those 10 years?

  Gladys Dalton : Yeah.

  Alexandra Cabot : [to Buchanan]  I hope I cleared things up for you, Counselor. That is a victim...

  [points to Skags] 

  Alexandra Cabot : and that is a criminal.

• Gladys Dalton : Look, I may have made some stupid decisions, but I'm not blind.

  John Buchanan : These stupid decisions. Does that include dropping out of the eighth grade? Becoming a drug addict? Having anonymous street sex while you're 24 weeks pregnant?

  Gladys Dalton : Hey, that man over there tried to kill me. That happened. I'm not going to let him get away with that.

  John Buchanan : My client isn't getting away with anything because he's the victim of your vicious lies. You're the criminal here.

• John Buchanan : [to Gladys]  Don't worry, young lady. I don't think they'll arrest you.

  Gladys Dalton : Why would they arrest me?

  John Buchanan : Well, you are a prostitute.

  Gladys Dalton : Is he telling the truth? Are you going to arrest me?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : No.

  Olivia Benson : No, Gladys, we just need you to identify the man that tried to kill you.

  John Buchanan : The police lie, Gladys, all the time.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : One more word, I'll collar you for intimidating a witness. One more word.

• Olivia Benson : Gladys, I need your help. I need you to testify against Billy Skags.

  Gladys Dalton : What? I'm not leaving my baby.

  Olivia Benson : Gladys, if you don't, I have to arrest you for prostitution.

  Gladys Dalton : I'm not going anywhere.

  Olivia Benson : Gladys, please don't make me do this.

  Gladys Dalton : Go to hell.

• Gladys Dalton : [to Olivia]  Back there in court, everything that lawyer said about me is true.

  Olivia Benson : You've turned a page on that. That's behind you now.

  Gladys Dalton : It will never be behind me. What am I supposed to tell my baby when she grows up?

  Olivia Benson : Gladys, you love your little girl and that's all that matters. And if you make the right decision for her now, she'll understand.

• Olivia Benson : [to Gladys]  There are recovery houses, and I could take you to one. You'll have a safe place to live, get counseling, get a GED. You could have a better life.

  Gladys Dalton : That's what he said.

  Olivia Benson : Marmalade? What, did he follow you home from school?

• Olivia Benson : Gladys, you can't ignore the fact that you're pregnant.

  Gladys Dalton : I'm not ignoring it anymore. I have an appointment at the clinic tomorrow and I'm taking my vitamins. You know, I don't think I've ever been this excited about anything.

  Olivia Benson : But you understand that if you decide to keep the baby, you're going to have to make some big changes in your life.

  Gladys Dalton : What are you talking about? Of course, I'm keeping my baby.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Well, if you change your mind, there are organizations that can help with adoption.

  Gladys Dalton : I won't change my mind. Look, I want a new life and this is my way to get it.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Gladys, you're giving life to the baby. It's not the other way around.
