Law & Order, Season 15
Branch:
You know, Serena, if you were right, you were right for the wrong reasons.
Southerlyn:
Meaning?
Branch:
Emotions, not facts. What was it you said, everyone you talked to said they couldn't have killed that man?
Southerlyn:
My emotional responses make me...
Branch:
...an advocate. You're a superb attorney; you ought to be involved in cases that feed your passion.
Southerlyn:
Well, that would be wonderful.
Branch:
Serena, you must know, that will not happen in this office. It can't. Now, a prosecutor can be zealous, but not passionate. Advocacy is warm-blooded, enforcement's got to be cold-blooded, and blind, and even angry.
Southerlyn:
Does Jack feel as strongly about this as you do?
Branch:
No, but it's my office and my decision, and he accepts it.
Southerlyn:
A decision? You've already made a decision?
Branch:
Yes. I have. You're fired.
Southerlyn:
Is this because I'm a lesbian?
Branch:
No. Of course not. No.
Southerlyn:
Good. Good.
