Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : Martha, I am not a fan of yours and I think that your views on sexual assault are reprehensible, but you are a survivor and I really want to help you get justice.

  Martha Cobb : Always effective. The inspirational mission statement.

  Olivia Benson : [sighs]  If you're pulling your punches for ideological reasons because you don't have the integrity to be honest...

  Martha Cobb : Do not question my integrity.

  Olivia Benson : Then how about you drop the armor? How about you start talking to me like a human being, not a media personality? Can we do that? Can we... can we just talk?

• Olivia Benson : Martha, all I can tell you about your case Is that we don't always catch the bad guy and I'm very sorry.

  Martha Cobb : No apologies necessary, Lieutenant. I know I won't be the first or last woman who doesn't get justice after being raped at Hudson University.

• Olivia Benson : Thank you for coming in, Martha. How are you feeling?

  Martha Cobb : Emboldened and empowered.

  Olivia Benson : Well, I know how difficult this must be, especially with your public profile.

  Martha Cobb : You have no idea what my life is like.

  Olivia Benson : Doesn't mean that I don't understand what you're going through.

  Martha Cobb : Do you people ever stop with the empathy?

  Olivia Benson : Which "people" are you referring to?

  Martha Cobb : Let me guess. You cried tears of joy when Obama was elected. Said you'd move to Canada if Trump ever got in. Yet, here you are.

  Olivia Benson : I was never going anywhere, but right or left, I want to find the man who assaulted you and make sure that he is apprehended and punished.

• Martha Cobb : I told you I knew who Randy Platt was.

  Olivia Benson : Well, you didn't tell me that you humiliated him the night before you were attacked.

  Martha Cobb : Because it was irrelevant.

  Olivia Benson : Trust me, the jury doesn't think so.

  Martha Cobb : Then Barba is incompetent.

  Olivia Benson : If you would have given him half a chance to get out in front of this...

  Martha Cobb : I needed a bulldog for this. A Rudy Giuliani. And instead, I got a little schnauzer.

• Martha Cobb : I'm a target every day of my life, Lieutenant. I can take it.

  Olivia Benson : I understand that.

  Martha Cobb : And I'm a warrior. So to find myself in this position, where I feel embarrassed, vulnerable, like the kind of spineless victim that I ridicule...

  Olivia Benson : Martha, you didn't ask for this. You're under so much pressure, you don't realize that this is not your fault. So tell me who did this to you.

• Martha Cobb : How dare we continue to glorify Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner who raped his slave mistress?

  [crowd booing] 

  Martha Cobb : Exactly. I know. And why stop there? The liberals want to put Susan B. Anthony on our money.

  [crowd booing] 

  Martha Cobb : But I think they forgot she said she would cut off her own arm before helping Negroes to get the right to vote.

  [crowd booing] 

  Martha Cobb : Yeah, I know. She was a racist too.

  [crowd laughing] 

  Martha Cobb : Guess who else was? Ugh. Gandhi. He called Africans "savages." But meanwhile, the liberal snowflakes, they're concerned with tearing down statues of Andrew Jackson

  [crowd booing] 

  Martha Cobb : Jefferson Davis. I think they forgot those guys are all Democrats.

  [laughter, booing] 

  Martha Cobb : Just saying. And that is why I come to college campuses like Hudson

  [applause] 

  Martha Cobb : Yeah, Hudson! Because in many cases, I'm the only conservative voice they will hear in four years.

• Jed Karey : Is this one of your books with a picture of you in a skimpy outfit on the cover?

  Martha Cobb : Yes. That "skimpy outfit" put me on the "New York Times" best-seller list for 43 straight weeks.

  Jed Karey : So, what are you selling your readers, Ms. Cobb? Ideas or T and A?

  Rafael Barba : Objection!

  Martha Cobb : This is all very entertaining, but do you really wanna ask me about my ass after what I've been through?

  Jed Karey : Withdrawn!
