Garland

April: Chip Gallagher raped me. He ruined my life.
Calhoun: Did he? You dropped out of Hudson. This was 30 years ago. Isn't it possible you ruined your life all on your own?

I just got a text that if I testify, I'll never get a job again. I have kids. I can't do this.

Calhoun. This is not political or personal. Your client is a rapist.

Benson

Maya. I can't tell you what to do. But I have never known a sister from Brownsville who backed down from a fight when she was harmed.

Finn

Kelly: Those guys defined the narrative. I realized I was never gonna make it in their world.
Benson: Ms. Kelly. Your case is past the statute of limitations but sometimes when one woman comes forward -
Kelly: Not me. I fought Gallagher 30 years ago and lost.

Carisi: We're looking into a judge. Do you know him?
Civil Rights Attorney: I wish I could unremember him.

Fin: The old boy network is strong out East.
Kat: So is the corruption.

Woman: What this company is doing, the way it treats women pilots, is despicable. But what you're doing... it's about damn time.

We have two options. One is bad. The other is worse. Either we missed one or... Yeats has a copycat.
