Sam Waterston: Executive ADA Jack McCoy

Quotes 

• Connie Rubirosa : My friends and I started a rumor that nearly got our vice-principal fired. When they traced it back to us, we cried, we said we didn't mean it and we got off with a slap on the wrist.

  Jack McCoy : So you do have a checkered past.

  Connie Rubirosa : We knew *exactly* what we were doing.

• Arthur Branch : We don't convict people for their thoughts.

  Jack McCoy : Thoughts are private. Posting them online is more public than putting them on a billboard in Times Square.

• Jack McCoy : You can't yell "fire!" in a crowded chatroom.

• Molly Preston : What's going on?

  Attorney Stuart : We're discussing a deal.

  Molly Preston : That guy was lying. I wouldn't sleep with him, and now he's doing this to get back at me.

  Connie Rubirosa : Gregg's roommate walked in on you. He saw you two having sex.

  Jack McCoy : At this point, ten years is a gift.

  Molly Preston : But I didn't mean any of it. I loved my mother. Dad, would you tell them?

  Douglas Preston : She wouldn't have done any this if it wasn't for that website. Can't Molly testify against B-Frendz for a better deal?

  Jack McCoy : We understand there were contributing factors, but if that computer was a gun, Molly pulled the trigger.

  Molly Preston : No! I can't go to jail.

  Jack McCoy : Offer's good for 24 hours.

  Douglas Preston : She'll take it.

  Molly Preston : No, I won't.

  Douglas Preston : You're going to listen to me for once in your life.

  Molly Preston : So you can bury me in jail?

  Douglas Preston : They are going to find you guilty. You'll get 25 years.

  Molly Preston : How could you do this to me?

  Douglas Preston : Because I'm your father and I know this is what's best for you.

  Molly Preston : The best thing for me would've been to have had a father with some balls!

  Douglas Preston : Molly, be quiet.

  Molly Preston : She wouldn't have screwed around and I wouldn't have had to do something about it!

  Douglas Preston : She's going to take the deal. It's decided.

  Molly Preston : I'm being tried as an adult. You can't tell me what to do. Just like you couldn't tell Mom to stop screwing around with those losers who were ruining our lives. Maybe Mom was a whore, but you drove her to it.

  [Douglas slaps her across the face] 

  Jack McCoy : I think we're through here.

  Molly Preston : Damn right we are. I'm not taking any deal and that's final!

• [last lines] 

  Connie Rubirosa : [Connie packing up a notepad in her briefcase]  Molly's father is suing B-Friendz for wrongful death

  Jack McCoy : He'll be lucky if he ever gets a dime

  Connie Rubirosa : [Connie closes the B-Friendz page on the computer]  Well, it's one way to take responsibility for your child

  Jack McCoy : It's always 10 PM somewhere, do you know where your children are?

• Jack McCoy : We're aware there were mitigating factors, but if B-Friendz was a loaded gun, Molly Prescott pulled the trigger.
