Quotes 

• Denise Johansen : [to Edwin]  I told you we should have gotten a divorce.

  Edwin Todd : Shut up, you stupid bitch. You see, this is the last time I'm gonna take care of you.

  Denise Johansen : It was all his idea.

  Edwin Todd : And they can't prove any of it if you keep your trap shut.

  Elliot Stabler : [to the attorneys]  What's the matter, counselors? You didn't know they were married to each other?

  Alexandra Cabot : Unless you can produce divorce papers preceding your clients' respective weddings to Jessica Blaine and Curtis Johansen, it's as if those marriages never existed.

• Donald Cragen : [about Danny Ryan]  He'd make a good lawyer. He's got an answer for everything.

  Alexandra Cabot : I wish it was that easy.

  Donald Cragen : We're bringing the victims in for a lineup.

  Alexandra Cabot : Cancel it.

  Donald Cragen : Why?

  Alexandra Cabot : Neither of them saw their attackers' faces.

  Donald Cragen : We've heard that before. Then they come in, look at the lineup and remember more than they thought.

  Alexandra Cabot : And when the victims can't ID Ryan and we take him to trial, it's exculpatory evidence and he walks.

  Donald Cragen : Well, he's gonna walk a lot sooner if we don't come up with a reason to hold him. Jessica Todd barely survived. His next victim may not be so lucky.

• Alexandra Cabot : [after Danny Ryan's toolbox is excluded as evidence]  Why didn't anyone call me?

  Elliot Stabler : To tell you that we had permission to search the van? Would you have stopped us?

  Donald Cragen : Let's stop throwing blame around. We got screwed by legal maneuvering.
