Judge Seymour Walsh quotes from Ally McBeal

Nobody has rights. People have privileges and those privileges are lost when they violate the law.

Judge Seymour Walsh

Mr. Cage, one more outburst, I will tape your mouth SHUT. Do not think I'm kidding. Now sit.

Members of the jury, you have a verdict?

We have.

What say you?

In Mannix versus Mannix... we find in favor of the plaintiff, and order the defendant, Bonnie Mannix to pay damages in the amount of 35 cents.

Your honor, I'm not comfortable with the response. I'm gonna go ahead and object.

Judge Seymour Walsh

Over-ruled.

Mr. Cage. Ms. Bump. I'll ask you to proceed without the nonsense.

John Cage

[Reading notes] Okay, uh... Mmm, no, I'm sorry. All I had left was nonsense. [Sits back down]

How many more men do you plan to marry, Mrs. - is it Carrens or Lewiston?

It's Naples. It... sounds like you disapprove.

Well, bigamy is not my choice for a lifestyle.

So you agree it's a choice?

No, I don't.

So it's not a choice?

I'm asking the questions here.

So you agree it's a question?

No. It's not even a question.

Then what do you have to ask me?

Your Honor...

Judge Seymour Walsh

Ms. Naples?
