• Olivia Benson : [to Nikki]  What are you doing?

  Nikki Staines : Oh, my God, stop it. What I did, I didn't just do it for me, you know.

  Olivia Benson : Whoa. I would have never agreed to this.

  Nikki Staines : Yeah, that's why we didn't say anything to you.

  Olivia Benson : We? Who's we? Stone knew about this?

  Nikki Staines : Christ, Liv. It was his idea.

  Olivia Benson : You and Stone tried to frame Miller?

  Nikki Staines : Yeah. He is guilty.

  Olivia Benson : You could both be disbarred for this.

  Nikki Staines : Oh, God. You know what? There are things that are more important than a license to tap dance around a courtroom.

  Olivia Benson : Oh, my God.

  Nikki Staines : We've been doing this a long time, Liv. And we don't say it out loud or when the lights are on, but there are times in the dark when we whisper, "Sometimes the law's just not good enough." And a threat to my child's safety is one of those times. At least I won't have to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Oh, and guess what. Neither will you.

  Olivia Benson : No, no. I am not part of this.

  Nikki Staines : Yeah, you are.

  [Olivia gets up and leaves] 

• Olivia Benson : We need you to testify, Nikki. Listen to me. The Feds dropped the charges.

  Nikki Staines : No. No, no, no, no. Absolutely not.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, Nikki, just hear me out. Hear me...

  Nikki Staines : No!

  Olivia Benson : Just hear me out. I understand. So talk to me about the Wally Stevens case, the underage girls. Miller obviously thought that he'd be implicated, and that's why he stole your phone.

  Nikki Staines : For nothing! There is not a word on that phone that connects him to the case.

  Olivia Benson : So why? What was he afraid of? Can Wally put him at those sex parties? Tell me, what did he...

  Nikki Staines : I can't! Attorney-client privilege, right? Ever heard of it? I'm not about to risk getting myself disbarred. Listen, I am incredibly appreciative of what you've done for me, Olivia, but you gotta go now. Go now.
