Judge Delilah Hawkins : Ms. Efron, are you ready to proceed?
Minonna Efron : Mr. Barba's motion is clearly ridiculous.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : That's your argument? Okay. Your Honor...
Judge Delilah Hawkins : Ms. Efron, could you be a little more specific?
-
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Mr. Murphy, thank you for coming in. I'm Rafael Barba, lead prosecutor on the case.
Charles Murphy : Yeah, you know, I'm not sure that I'll be able to recognize anyone, so...
Nick Amaro : You know at the hotel, before he attacked you, did you kiss him? Then you got a good look at his face, didn't you?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : We're looking for a killer, Mr. Murphy. You have a civic duty.
Charles Murphy : You do know this is the end of my life?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : You're lucky you're alive at all.
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Mr. Murphy] We're gonna be with you in a few moments. Why don't you have a seat over here?
[shows Mr. Murphy a seat]
Detective Olivia Benson : [to Amaro] "Did you kiss him?" Nick, he's a victim.
Nick Amaro : He's a victim in search of a crime. Look, if he'd have gotten into that Mercedes with his family and driven to Connecticut...
Detective Olivia Benson : You mean like he was supposed to?
Nick Amaro : All I'm saying is he would have been fine.

Minonna Efron : [during her opening statement] What am I thinking right now? That I wish I'd had a second cup of coffee before court this morning, or that Mr. Barba's prosecution is so wrong that he should be taken out and shot? You can't tell, can you? And what does it matter? Do I deserve to be punished for something that's only inside my head?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Objection. Ms. Efron is arguing the wisdom of the law and not making an opening statement.
Judge Delilah Hawkins : Ms. Efron, watch yourself.
Minonna Efron : I'm sorry, Your Honor. I don't know what I was thinking.

A.D.A. Rafael Barba : [to Jeremy Jones about the men he assaulted] What do they ask you to do once you get there?
Jeremy Jones : That doesn't matter.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Why not? Because you take charge?
Jeremy Jones : Okay, I don't get down on my knees for them if that's what...
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Is that what they ask you to do?
Jeremy Jones : It doesn't matter.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Why? They're the ones who are successful, they're the ones with the money, the ones who move between worlds.
Jeremy Jones : Yeah, is that supposed to impress me or something?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : I don't know, you tell me. Considering you're what? A part-time unemployed male stripper. What do they say to you? What do they ask you to do?
Jeremy Jones : It doesn't matter! Okay, you know, they may have their fake wives and their show-kids and family Christmas cards. You know, buying the "wifey" anniversary presents. When they're with me, their lives... their lives are lies! The lies are over! I am just as much a man as they are.
