Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 11

[outside the Supreme Court steps, Alex notices EADA Paxton]

Paxton:
Alex!

Alex:
I thought you stood me up.

Paxton:
Sorry, I couldn't make it through the door. Guess I'm not quite ready.

Alex:
Why don't you tell me what you want?

Paxton:
Just to give you some much needed advice. Don't give the State Bar anymore ammunition.

Alex:
I didn't blow a trial by breathing vodka onto a judge, and I sure as hell wasn't forced to take a breathalyzer in open court.

Paxton:
Actually, it was scotch, and drunk or not, I've never been accused of a Brady violation.

Alex:
I take my oath very seriously, and I did not withhold evidence from the defense.

Paxton:
Look, even if it was the cops who didn't turn over every scrap of evidence, you're still culpable. They'll yank your license.

Alex:
Benson and Stabler would not do that.

Paxton:
They're good cops, but their loyalty is to each other, not to you.

Alex:
I know you didn't get along with Stabler, but this is low, even for you.

Paxton:
I don't have any ax to grind.

Alex:
No, you just want to bury it in their backs.

Paxton:
Who are you gonna blame when you lose your job, Alex?

Alex:
You're telling me not to trust them.

Paxton:
No. I'm telling you to do your job and watch your ass.
