Quotes
-
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.
