Law & Order1990

D.A. Arthur Branch:
You're still here.

Jack McCoy:
I'm writing my closing statement.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
You're gonna take it all the way to the jury.

Jack McCoy:
No reason not to. That tape was pretty damning.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
That's your call, but a part of me wouldn't mind seeing this whole thing go away.

Jack McCoy:
Me, too.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
You know, this office has cut a deal with the likes of Jacob Lowenstein. We could do the same thing with Joyce Draper.

Jack McCoy:
I'd be happy to if she'd allocute to what she did.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
She won't?

Jack McCoy:
I spoke to her lawyer, dangled the possibility. She won't accept any sort of guilty plea.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
I guess she's determined to see this thing through, too.

Jack McCoy:
Apparently so. He's putting her on the stand.

D.A. Arthur Branch:
[sardonic chuckle] Tread lightly.
