Quotes
-
Stan Villani : [to Cabot] I just want you handling cross on the female defendants if they elect to testify. I don't want to look like Rick Lazio bullying Hillary.
Alexandra Cabot : You want me to run for coffee too or am I just the female attorney by your side for the cameras?
-
Alexandra Cabot : [after one of Peter Smith's rapists is found not guilty] Peter, I'm sorry we didn't get them both.
Peter Smith : One's better than none.
-
Olivia Benson : [to Pam Adler] You're under arrest for the murder of Sydney Green.
Pam Adler : [to Cabot] I'll beat this charge, too, Counselor. Just watch me.
Alexandra Cabot : All of your courtroom knowledge won't get you out of this one.
-
Alexandra Cabot : [about Peter Smith's rape allegation] Did the uniforms follow up on the suspect's complaint?
Olivia Benson : They asked a few questions and then they dropped it.
Elliot Stabler : Because they didn't buy it and neither do I. And more importantly, neither will a jury.
Alexandra Cabot : Well, if the attack took place, I'll make sure that they do.
Elliot Stabler : First male rape victim with female perps. That adds up to a lot of attention, doesn't it, Counselor?
Alexandra Cabot : I am not interested in that. He is the first man to come forward. The statute for Rape One was changed in January, Detective.
Elliot Stabler : What about his inability to complete the act against his will?
Olivia Benson : An erection is a physical response, Elliot.
Elliot Stabler : If he was aroused, he consented.
-
Judge Lena Petrovsky : [after Pam Adler is about to cross-examine Peter Smith] I find an accused rapist cross-examining the victim repulsive. Explain yourself.
Carolyn Maddox : Your Honor, Miss Adler is a member of the bar in good standing. She's the co-counsel of record and she's protected by the constitution to run her own defense.
Alexandra Cabot : This is an intimidation tactic used to undermine the witness. She is asking him to relive the rape.
Pam Adler : Objection. Alleged rape.
Stan Villani : It's an aggressive psychological ploy.
Judge Lena Petrovsky : That may very well be the case, Mr. Villani, but I don't have the power to bar her from cross.
[to Pam Adler]
Judge Lena Petrovsky : You take one step over the line and I will hold you in contempt for the duration.
-
Alexandra Cabot : [to Stabler] Your suspicions were confirmed, Detective. We were blind-sided by a civil suit filed by our rape victim.
Peter Smith : I'm sorry, Miss Cabot. I didn't think it mattered.
Stan Villani : Everything matters! You jeopardized this trial.
-
Carolyn Maddox : [to Cabot] Most men do not maintain an erection through fear, Counselor.
Alexandra Cabot : But some men do. What do you propose, a tumescence exam?
Judge Lena Petrovsky : Save the wit for your friends, Miss Cabot.
