Stephanie March: ADA Alexandra 'Alex' Cabot

Quotes 

• Sam Tiffany : Deal, Alex. At least concede that these two people should never be married especially not to each other.

  Alexandra Cabot : That's not my concern.

  Sam Tiffany : Well, it should be. Hell of a railroad job on what he said in the heat of the moment. Got me thinking about the fights with my wife. What people might say. Sometimes I want to kill her.

  Alexandra Cabot : If she dies, then you've got a problem.

• Alexandra Cabot : [to the IAB detectives]  Charging Andrews prior to his making a formal statement is premature. Am I sweeping it under the rug as you would prefer? No. And I strongly advise you to discontinue obstructing this unit from doing its job or I will have be more than happy to file charges naming you and your partner as co-conspirators.

  IAB Det. Santiago : IAB is here strictly in a supervisory capacity.

  Alexandra Cabot : Not anymore. You may consider yourselves officially updated.

• Alexandra Cabot : [to Patricia about not pressing charges against her husband]  Did your husband or any of his friends on the force threaten you, Mrs. Andrews?

  Patricia Andrews : No. I just don't want to go through with it anymore is all.

  Alexandra Cabot : What made you change your mind?

  Patricia Andrews : My husband could go to jail over a misunderstanding a petty marital spat. I can't live with that.

  Detective John Munch : Just seems strange you would change your tune so easily after singing the "he-raped-me" song to anybody who would listen.

• Sergeant Lloyd Andrews : [about his wife]  That heifer told me that she was going to torch me! What the hell was I supposed to say?

  Alexandra Cabot : That heifer is supposed to be the woman you love?

• Alexandra Cabot : Your Honor, this is a heinous crime. The People are not prepared to send the message that officers of the law get a free ride.

  Judge Lena Petrovsky : You are not a messenger, Ms. Cabot, so save your button-pushing for the trial.

• Sam Tiffany : Come on, Alex, don't be a sore loser. Drop the charges and send the kiddies to counseling where they belong.

  Alexandra Cabot : No.

  Sam Tiffany : [hands Alex a tissue]  For the egg on your face.

  [Alex walks away]
