Sonny and Benson in “Unfinished Business”

Sonny

I'm writing my resignation letter. I'm gonna lose this case. Ms. Hadid already knows. She has her spies in the courtroom. I'm done.

Benson

Carisi, you're not a quitter. No, no. It was your first day in court. You got knocked down, so you get back up again.

Sonny

What if I'm not cut out for this? [pause] You know what the worst part is? That I didn't protect Monica.

Benson

No, listen to me...

Sonny

I should have objected more. But if you object too much, the jury thinks the witness is hiding something, so I-I didn't know what to do. I just left her alone up there. A target.

Benson

Monica is a lot tougher than you think.

Sonny

Every aspect, every moment of her life, open to dissection. While Markeevious Ryan, he's just sitting there, smiling. He's sitting on the sidelines. She said it herself, Liv, it's not fair.

Benson

So use that. Figure out a way to get him into the game.
