Quotes
-
Olivia Benson : So, I heard you stepped down.
Judge Elana Barth : It was my decision. Ending my marriage wasn't, but two kids in college, it was either private practice or public bankruptcy.
Olivia Benson : Oh, I'm so sorry.
Judge Elana Barth : No, no, no, it's fine. It's great to be back on the front lines, and to get paid for it.
Olivia Benson : There we go. So, what brings you here?
Judge Elana Barth : One of my clients called to tell me that you interviewed him without informing him he was the focus of an investigation.
Olivia Benson : [taken aback] You're working for Sir Toby Moore?
Judge Elana Barth : I am.
Olivia Benson : I see.
Judge Elana Barth : And now I've informed you that he has counsel.
-
Judge Elana Barth : [releasing Sir Toby from jail] I came as soon as I heard. They completely disregarded all protocol.
Sir Tobias Moore : Did they?
[turning to Benson]
Sir Tobias Moore : Why would you do that? The D.A. already dismissed that young girl's casting couch story as fantasy.
Olivia Benson : Well, it turns out that a number of other women came forward with additional accusations.
Sir Tobias Moore : Oh, a number. Sounds like a MeToo witch hunt. No names, Olivia? No? Oh, and how's the judge supposed to represent me if we don't know what the charge is?
Olivia Benson : The charge is rape. In the first degree. Standard Hotel. The woman said that people could see it from the High Line.
Sir Tobias Moore : Gemma.
[turning back to Elana]
Sir Tobias Moore : How the hell did they get to her? Hmm?
-
Judge Elana Barth : My client, now.
Olivia Benson : Oh, he's all yours.
Judge Elana Barth : Nice stunt, Lieutenant.
Olivia Benson : Thank you.
Judge Elana Barth : You know, you knew he had counsel. Courtesy would've been to arrange his arrest through me.
Sir Tobias Moore : Good evening, counselor. Don't get your knickers in a twist. These bizzies are only doing their job.
-
Judge Elana Barth : Is this Ms. Reyes? Sir Toby is aware of how easy it is these days to target prominent men, so I would be especially skeptical of this one.
Olivia Benson : She's very credible.
Judge Elana Barth : Is she? There are rumors that she was working as a prostitute in Caracas.
Olivia Benson : And I can guess who started those.
Judge Elana Barth : If it's out there, we'll find it. Oh, I almost forgot. Ms. Hadid told me that she was gonna subpoena the girl's audition tape. You could've just asked.
Olivia Benson : And you're just gonna hand this over?
Judge Elana Barth : More than that. It's the last five women that auditioned for Sir Toby, ending in Ms. Reyes, and from the looks of it, she's a much better actress with you than she is on camera.
