Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : [to the detectives about Vance Shepard] So you just let him walk out.
Detective Elliot Stabler : We have nothing to hold him on.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Other than murdering Emily Keefe.
Olivia Benson : Shepard was alibied all day long. Meetings, dinner, then home.
Odafin Tutuola : The same home his mistress strolled out of in living color.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Yeah, so bust his ass on prostitution. Do I have to handhold you people?
Detective Elliot Stabler : No, but here's a news flash. Vice handles prostitution, not Special Victims.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Don't pass the buck, Stabler.
Odafin Tutuola : Who says their arrangement was prostitution anyway?
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Oh, come on. It's the world's oldest profession. I think we've settled on the definition. She got what's in his wallet. He got what's between her legs.
Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, unless he got something more. You know, since the '70s, courts have ruled that as long as the woman gets paid for something in addition to sex, shopping advice, companionship, not prostitution.
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : Okay, I get it. So if it's a back alley hand job for five bucks, she's a hooker. Right? But if it's five G's a month and all the shoes she can buy, then she's some kind of, what, entrepreneur?
Olivia Benson : Times have changed, Sonya or have you not been on Craigslist lately? There are some women who believe that just...
Executive A.D.A. Sonya Paxton : I can't believe that you're arguing this, Olivia.
Olivia Benson : Why? Because all women have to have the same opinion on everything?
