- Quotes
D.A. Arthur Branch: You know, Serena, if you were right, you were right for the wrong reasons.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: Meaning?
D.A. Arthur Branch: Emotions, not facts. What was it you said, everyone you talked to said he couldn't have killed that man?
ADA Serena Southerlyn: My emotional responses make me...
D.A. Arthur Branch: ...an advocate. You're a superb attorney; you ought to be involved in cases that feed your passion.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: That would be wonderful.
D.A. Arthur 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.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: Does Jack feel as strongly about this as you do?
D.A. Arthur Branch: No, but it's my office and my decision, and he accepts it.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: Decision? You've already made a decision?
D.A. Arthur Branch: I have. You're fired.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: Is this because I'm a lesbian?
D.A. Arthur Branch: No. Of course not. No.
ADA Serena Southerlyn: Good... good.
This is the last episode of Serena Southerlyn; she is fired by Branch for being too symphatetic towards defendants. She admitted to be a lesbian much to the audience disapproval.
