[at the behest of the judge, Benson enters the courtroom with a breathalyzer]
Where would you like me to administer the test, your honor? Right at the defense table?
Guess again.
Unfortunately, the prosecution.
No. You can't be serious.
Could you please clear this up, Olivia? They're trying to ruin my reputation.
I have no desire to ruin your reputation, counselor. [to Benson] Detective, were you drinking with Miss Paxton last night?
I wasn't drinking.
Was she?
I saw her consume two drinks.
So you did lie to me. How many drinks did you have after Detective Benson left?
I object to this line of questioning, your honor.
Then blow!
No. I can attest, as an officer of this court, that I am not intoxicated.
Sonya, your eyes are bloodshot and watery, your speech is slurred, and you stink of booze. Now, blow.
I thought you were my friend.
Just do it.
Don't do this to me, Olivia. Please don't do this to me.
You did this to yourself, Sonya. Now, blow.
[Paxton exhales steadily into the breathalyzer; Benson removes it]
I got it.
Bring it up here. Let me see.
I saw it, your honor. It's .07. It's legally sober.
I was hoping for a 0.
It's still climbing.
For the record, your blood level count is .082.
That's residual from last night. I'm fine, your honor. I am ready to proceed.
Counselor, you have a problem. I'm ordering you removed from this courtroom.
