Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : [to Cabot] You're so busy telling us how to do our jobs, you forgot to do your own.
Alexandra Cabot : Did you talk to Nikki Sherman?
Olivia Benson : Damn right. I put in a formal request for a new A.D.A.
Alexandra Cabot : On what grounds?
Olivia Benson : Professional ethics. You sacrificed a rape victim to save your own ass.
-
Alexandra Cabot : Stabler is screwing up my rape case and now I cannot talk to Nikki Sherman until the morning.
Donald Cragen : Cut him some slack, Alex.
Alexandra Cabot : Personal investigations involving family members are completely against procedure. You know it, I know it and so will One PP.
-
Alexandra Cabot : You have just shown me a photo that is going to make the jury think that our rape victim is a liar. What are you going to do about that?
Olivia Benson : Question Nikki about it.
Alexandra Cabot : Don't bother. I will do the interview myself.
Elliot Stabler : That's up to you. The State Bar's not breathing down my neck.
Alexandra Cabot : Because you missed the photo.
Elliot Stabler : All right.
Alexandra Cabot : I don't suppose you forgot Nikki's recant statement as well.
Elliot Stabler : No, Counselor, not a chance.
Alexandra Cabot : We are being watched. Anything you do against protocol stacks the deck.
Elliot Stabler : You don't get it. I don't care.

Alexandra Cabot : [to Paxton] I didn't blow a trial by breathing vodka onto a judge and I sure as hell wasn't forced to take a Breathalyzer in open court.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Actually, it was scotch. And drunk or not, I've never been accused of a Brady Violation.
Alexandra Cabot : I take my oath very seriously and I did not withhold evidence from the Defense.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Look, even if it was the cops who didn't turn over every scrap of evidence, you're still culpable. They'll yank your license.
Alexandra Cabot : Benson and Stabler would not do that.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : They're good cops, but their loyalty is to each other, not to you.
Alexandra Cabot : I know you didn't get along with Stabler, but this is low, even for you.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : I don't have any ax to grind.
Alexandra Cabot : No, you just want to bury it in their backs.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Who are you going to blame when you lose your job, Alex?
Alexandra Cabot : You're telling me not to trust them.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : No. I'm telling you to do your job and watch your ass.

Alexandra Cabot : Liam, I can *not* do this job with a noose around my neck.
Liam Black : I promise not to leave you *hanging*.
