Calhoun quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

I'm sorry, who are we talking about, now?

Tiana Rayens, the Shark Wear Center girl.

And she kept her panties?

Yeah. They had semen on them, along with the dress.

Better than an autograph.

You people in Manhattan really live in a bubble, don't you? The world has changed. You have no idea what you're dealing with. You keep this up, I'll see to it you're disbarred. You get lucky, maybe the NYPD will take you back. You can do traffic stops on Staten Island.

Alright, we're done here...

Something they can't teach you at Fordham? How to belong. People on the eighth floor who nod at you in the elevator, they can smell the flop sweat and the garlic coming off your cheap suit.

Sonny

Keep goin', judge.

What do you wanna hear, you dumb dago? You wanna go?

Sonny

I'll take you out right here!

Benson

THAT'S ENOUGH! Let's go, Carisi.

No need. You're in so far over your head, you don't realize your career's dead and buried.

Judge Lewis

Are you ready to allocute, Judge Gallagher?

I am. Today I plead guilty to sexual misconduct. What I thought was consensual I now understand was perceived as coercive and hurtful actions.

Judge Lewis

I understand there's a deal?

We've agreed to the DA's offer of one year to be served under house arrest.

Judge Lewis

Mr. Carisi, are you comfortable with this?

Sonny

My office is satisfied, Your Honor.

Judge Lewis

Well, I'm not. Judge Gallagher, you come from a good family, a fine home, and yet despite all those advantages, upon achieving power, you abused it habitually. So in the interest of true justice for the women you've abused, I hereby order you to serve your one year sentence in a jail cell.

What?

It's fine.

You can't do that. We had a deal!

Judge Lewis

You did. And as you well understand, the bench has inherent powers in these situations. The long arm of the law can work both ways. You're remanded.

Benson

Rita, what the hell were you thinking defending him?

Read the room, Olivia. The way the courts are packed, Gallagher's side, these guys, and women. The next thirty years, every appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. The fix is in.

Benson

That's why we keep fighting.

Not if they won't let you in the ring. Olivia, you keep staying on the wrong side of this, you're gonna be marginalized for the rest of your career. My advice? Lie back and pretend you're enjoying it.
