Stephanie March: ADA Alexandra 'Alex' Cabot

Quotes 

• Alexandra Cabot : [to Mrs. Retafian]  Darius was abused at his school, nowhere near Father Michael and you settled with the Church for $50,000.

  Lara Retafian : Father Michael molested him.

  Alexandra Cabot : No, he didn't. You recycled those accusations when you and your son were questioned by the detectives.

  Lara Retafian : And you think your priest isn't guilty, too? Darius will never forget what was done to him. No money will make up for that.

  Alexandra Cabot : And you would make him relive his trauma to get every penny you can.

• Alexandra Cabot : [to Kressler about Bobby Douglas]  Why should I deal? I've got his confession and a murder weapon with his prints all over it.

  Donald Cragen : Stick a fork in him, Kressler.

• Alexandra Cabot : The details of Darius' abuse were true. He was alone with a priest, and he watched porn videos, and he was molested. Mom sued, a priest was defrocked, the diocese settled. Mom wants more.

  Elliot Stabler : If someone abused my son, I'd do more than sue them.

  Alexandra Cabot : I doubt you'd make false accusations.

• Alexandra Cabot : [to Kressler about what Bobby Douglas did]  He killed a 16-year-old boy who caught him trying to burn down a church. I could try that in my sleep.

  Roger Kressler : The second the jury hears the words "priest" and "abuse", whose side do you think they'll be on?

  Alexandra Cabot : Man two. Eight-to-ten.

  Roger Kressler : In this climate, Bobby could have torched a kindergarten and a jury would still be sympathetic.
