Quotes 

• Amanda Rollins : Either of you think it's odd that we're getting leads from Miller?

  Odafin Tutuola : Miller is a player. He knows where all the bodies are buried.

  Amanda Rollins : He's also opposing counsel to Nikki in the civil rights case against our department which gives him a vested interest in knocking her out.

  Dominic Carisi : You know why sharks don't attack lawyers, right? Professional courtesy.

• Rob Miller : What's this?

  Olivia Benson : You're under arrest.

  Rob Miller : Anything I said is inadmissible. Attorney/client privilege.

  Dominic Carisi : Huh. Well, Chief Dodds waived that privilege when he put on that wire. Plus, and you should know this, that does not apply when there's a crime fraud exception or discussion of further crime.

  Rob Miller : What crime? I was making a bad joke. Nikki Staines got into my car of her own accord. She dropped her phone. The sex was consensual.

  Olivia Benson : Consensual? She was unconscious. Why? You already had the phone.

• Dominic Carisi : Professor, this is important.

  Alphonse D'Osso : Fine, but only because you spent a week Shepardizing those cases for me.

  Dominic Carisi : Actually, it was 12 days, but who's counting?

  Alphonse D'Osso : Don't push it, Sonny.

  Dominic Carisi : So, Judge Leonard?

  Dominic Carisi : There was a rumor Leonard was suspended for a semester when he was at Syracuse Law. Stupid son of a bitch plagiarized a law review article. In the end, it all went away.

  Dominic Carisi : How did he get past the judicial review?

  Alphonse D'Osso : Good question.

  Dominic Carisi : Rob Miller?

  Alphonse D'Osso : Good answer. I always suspected he was behind it. Had a case against him once. One thing about Miller, he'll steal your cattle and never leave tracks. You didn't get this from me.

  Dominic Carisi : [approaching Rollins as D'Osso leaves]  You were right.

  Amanda Rollins : Great. Now I gotta tell Liv.

• Olivia Benson : You have a problem, Carisi?

  Dominic Carisi : No, I... I understand that she's a victim here. I just I guess I'd rather be working on behalf of somebody who's not suing our department for $15 mill.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, well, that doesn't matter now.

• Nikki Staines : So you're just gonna hassle my old clients instead of looking at real suspects?

  Amanda Rollins : You know how this works. We are following every lead, trying to figure out what happened to you.

  Nikki Staines : I know what happened to me. I was drugged and I was raped. Have you even checked the video from the party?

  Dominic Carisi : Yes, we looked at the street cams, the security cams.

  Odafin Tutuola : If you were dosed there, the cameras missed it.

  Nikki Staines : Oh, well, isn't that convenient? So what? You guys think that I went out and had a one night stand and can't remember it now? I am not a blackout drunk.

  Amanda Rollins : No one thinks that.

  Odafin Tutuola : We're just looking at a list of individuals that may have motive.

  Nikki Staines : No, see, I know where you're going with this. You're looking to pin it on one of my clients so that you don't have to look at a guest list that is 50% police!

• Nikki Staines : Doesn't it seem funny to you at all that whoever did this to me knew enough to take my phone and turn off the tracking?

  Amanda Rollins : Everybody would know to do that.

  Nikki Staines : Well, who would go to such extremes to gain access to my key information? My texts and phone numbers and recorded statements from clients.

  Dominic Carisi : Are you really suggesting that somebody from our department drugged you and then raped you just so that they could steal your cell phone?

  Nikki Staines : A lot of your brother officers have vendettas against me because I have called them out and sued them.

  Dominic Carisi : You're out on a limb here, Counselor.

  Nikki Staines : I have been personally threatened by cops dozens of times and now I have been assaulted after a police party, so why aren't you questioning them? You should be looking at your own.

• Dominic Carisi : [to Nikki Staines]  You're way out of line here, counselor.

• Dominic Carisi : If I were you, I'd shut up.
