Diane Neal: ADA Casey Novak

Quotes 

• D.A. Arthur Branch : [to Novak]  Conference room. Now!

  Det. Elliot Stabler : What was that about?

  ADA Casey Novak : That's probably just about another subpoena I sent out.

  Det. Elliot Stabler : For what?

  ADA Casey Novak : Donald Rumsfeld.

• D.A. Arthur Branch : [to Novak]  You're gonna fix it and that's the end of the story.

  ADA Casey Novak : Fix what, sir?

  ADA Casey Novak : Oh, I don't know, maybe calling the Secretary of Defense a murderer?

  ADA Casey Novak : I didn't do that.

  D.A. Arthur Branch : Do I need to remind you that I've been known to fire people, Casey?

• ADA Casey Novak : Tommy Callahan and Wes Myers are criminally liable for rape and murder, respectively. No criminal liability for either Lifshin Forner Pharmaceuticals or the U.S. Army, although the jury believes that the matter deserves further inquiry.

  Sherm Hempell : Well, at least that's something.

  ADA Casey Novak : Not really. At least Branch let me cut a deal with Myers, so he'll be in a mental health facility for at least a year and then we'll see.

  Detective Olivia Benson : No telling how long the effects will last.

  Det. Elliot Stabler : [as everyone looks at the footage on TV of the U.S. troops coming home]  Or who else is next.

• ADA Casey Novak : Mr. Hempell, I'm going to be straight up with you. I like the First Amendment. I'm a big fan, but I'm a bigger fan of preventing the unnecessary deaths of U.S. soldiers.

  Detective John Munch : Imagine A.D.A. Novak dragging you in front of a judge and uttering words like "patriot," "security," "homeland."
