Quotes 

• ADA Alexandra Cabot : I need your advice.

  Dr. George Huang : ...Lie down on the couch.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Not that sort of advice.

• ADA Alexandra Cabot : What were you thinking, turning this case over to Barry Moredock?

  Dr. George Huang : I'm concerned about Joe Blaine. I knew Moredock would share my concerns.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : So it wasn't enough you had to call him in, you also handed him his defense?

  Dr. George Huang : I'm not against the use of psychiatric drugs to treat children, I just don't think they should be used as an instrument of school policy.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : Then publish an article. You had no business interfering in my case!

  Dr. George Huang : Thousands of children are being forced to take powerful drugs without psychiatric supervision. Before you crucify Joe Blaine, maybe you should hear what your detectives found out.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : What, now you're working on Joe Blaine's defense too?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Alex... you weren't there, this kid is seriously troubled.

  Detective Olivia Benson : We spoke to his school counselor. She said that Joe was exceptionally creative, yet extremely disruptive. They suggested: counseling, medication - but, Joe's mother always resisted.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : She said he was special, needed special treatment - so in the end the school insisted that he go see their shrink.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : So that's who prescribed Joe the Aptril?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Apparently not. Mom wanted a second opinion, so they went to go see a Dr. Engels.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : All right. Find out when Dr. Engels started Joe on the Aptril. Then I can decide whether I should take this defense as seriously as Dr. Huang seems to.

• ADA Alexandra Cabot : [to Huang]  I think that Tauscher Leto's direct marketing tactics were responsible for Joe's manic episode which led to his shooting Luke and Tyrell. The company disclaims all responsibility. All the sales reps are taking the Fifth. The trial restarts tomorrow and I think I'm going to win. And I'm I'm not sure I want to.

  Dr. George Huang : Then plead Joe out.

  ADA Alexandra Cabot : How does that get justice for Luke and Tyrell?

  Dr. George Huang : It doesn't. You can't help them, but you can help Joe. Plead him out and he'll get time in a psychiatric institution where his treatment will be decided by doctors. Not insurance and drug companies.
