Quotes
-
Judge Ellery : Tell Granya to delete my contacts.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Are you sure? Granya's about to fly in three girls from Paris this weekend, all under 15, for Steve's birthday. You wanna be second up?
Judge Ellery : Are you not listening to me?
Counselor Peter Abrams : You need to calm down. Have a drink, take a pill, watch some porn, whatever it takes to get some shut-eye. I'm going back to bed. Do me a favor. Don't contact me again.
Olivia Benson : How long before Abrams tips off Getz?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : We gotta move fast.
-
Counselor Peter Abrams : Jesus, Joe. It's 4:00 a.m.
Judge Ellery : I couldn't sleep.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Well, you got nothing to worry about, Joe. Or do you?
Judge Ellery : I went out on a limb for you, for Steve.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Joe, you're in no position to shake us down for more.
Judge Ellery : The NYPD searched Getz's townhouse. What if they found photos, video? This could blow up my whole life.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Just relax, please. Come on, they found one camera when they searched. Party photos, that's it. Nothing explicit. The good stuff? Your hanky spanky? It's in my office. Safe. Lawyer/client privilege.
Olivia Benson : [watching a surveillance feed] There you go. Call Hadid for a warrant?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : No, Garland said to keep this off the grid.
Olivia Benson : You think Hadid is gonna tip off Getz?
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Not on purpose, but the people above her? Can't take that chance.

Counselor Peter Abrams : Ellery set me up. Look at him. Schmuck.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Judge Ellery has a conscience. He's cooperating with the investigation.
Counselor Peter Abrams : You mean you threatened to tell his wife. Judges; come on, they're all pussies. Weak link in the criminal justice chain, right? I could pick out the C-minus students destined for the black robes in my law classes.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Oh, well... let me just jump in here, then, Professor, because we have you on wire admitting to sex trafficking of minors, blackmail, and bribery.
Counselor Peter Abrams : An overdose of Viagra couldn't get that to stand up in court.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Not to mention the treasure trove of child pornography we found in your office.
Counselor Peter Abrams : What do you want?
-
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Mr. Abrams, you're one of the most notorious defense attorneys in New York. Now, you have to know that what we have here, that means it's over for you.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Right, so your next line is, uh... "let us help you", right? Oh, wait, I like, uh, "Work with us here."
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Well, actually, I was thinking more like, "Deal or rot in jail."
Counselor Peter Abrams : Nice try. I'm not gonna give up Getz. I believe in loyalty.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You see, this is why lawyers hire lawyers, Mr. Abrams.
Counselor Peter Abrams : I want full immunity.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : I can take that up with the D.A.
Counselor Peter Abrams : And when you do, make sure he knows there's a lot more information I could provide; information that's a little too sensitive even to keep in my office.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Save that for round two, which doesn't happen unless you give us Getz.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : Yeah, you and Getz, you must've had some kind of contingency plan, an escape hatch?
Counselor Peter Abrams : I don't know what you're talking about.
Dominick Carisi Jr. : You don't know what I'm talkin' about? Then we're done here. Unless you call Getz right now, you tell him it's go time, there's no deal. Ever.

Counselor Peter Abrams : [being handcuffed] I'm surprised CNN isn't here. How you gonna make a statement, Chief, if there's no one here to broadcast it?
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Thought we'd give you the opportunity to get ahead of the narrative. Anything you want to say?
Counselor Peter Abrams : Right, yeah. Garland, FYI, I have a lot more friends at 1PP than you do, and for what it's worth, the sense from the old guard is you don't know your place.
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : That's why they're the old guard.
Counselor Peter Abrams : Right. Are you gonna let me grab a robe?
Deputy Chief Christian Garland : I don't see that.
