Elisabeth Röhm: ADA Serena Southerlyn

Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : We're not gonna turn this into blaming the victim, are we?

  Dr. Emil Skoda : Think back to physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. From what I can gather from police reports, Carrie Gunderson was an intolerant, controlling personality, especially where men were concerned.

  Serena Southerlyn : Yeah, she insisted her old boyfriend buy new sheets after two dates.

  Jack McCoy : And Myers didn't like the view.

  Dr. Emil Skoda : Most men wouldn't. The male of the species tends not to care whether he drinks his beer out of glass or a can.

  Jack McCoy : And it was really the latter he wanted on the end of his knife.
