Barba quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

[while cross-examining Bell] By the way, isn't your wife's family currently suing the NYPD for the use of excessive force against your nephew?

Sonny

Objection! Relevance?

Mr. Barba?

I'm not sure there is any, your Honor. I just appreciate the irony.

Hello, Liv.

Benson

Hello.

You and I spent a lot of time in this place. It's a shame they're closing, huh?

Benson

Everything comes to an end. Um, I wanted to thank you, for representing Delia.

Rollins asked for the favor. How many lawyers you call first?

Benson

Three. You think you can get an acquittal?

I'll do my best. Cabernet?

Benson

I can't stay.

It's possible, to sit with someone, and have a drink, and not say a single word to each other. I miss you, Liv.

Benson

[uncomfortable] I gotta go.

Benson

You don't know anything about my feelings for Elliot, and you don't know him.

I got a glimpse.

Benson

I've known him for twenty-three years, and he always had my back.

And you grew up without a father to protect you, I know how much that means.

Benson

Please don't. Please don't.

I grew up in a home, in a neighborhood where I got bullied. We're gonna see him through different prisms.

Benson

This isn't about him. This is about you and me, and how you betrayed me. I asked you not to defend Wheatley and you did anyway.

We're going around in circles. You're denying, you're deflecting. You defend him. It's all right. I get it. That's what you do when you love somebody unconditionally.

Benson

Please don't tell me how I feel.

In this case, I can, because I do know what it means to love someone unconditionally. When you're ready to stop feeling betrayed by me, I'll be here.

Benson

Rafa.

What?

Benson

I miss you too.
