[After learning he has been taped for Reggie's psychology class]
You know what kind of person tapes another person!? NIXON!
[Anita walks out of Becker's bathroom]
Wait a minute, you're with him!? If your self-esteem is that low, maybe you and I should talk!
[Anita knocks at Becker's door]
John, I'm sorry. Can I use your bathroom to put my makeup on?
Yeah, I guess. Why?
The lights in my apartment shorted out again, and speaking of short, have you seen Bob anywhere? I've been after him for days to fix them, and I'm ready to kill him.
Yeah, well just don't kill him before he fixes my refrigerator.
[Anita walks out of Becker's bathroom]
Wait a minute, you're with him!? If your self-esteem is that low, maybe you and I should talk!
Bob, I had to come here to put on my makeup because you never fixed my lights.
I'll get to it.
Right now. You're coming with me.
Whoa, whoa, what about my refrigerator?
Bob's policy is to handle jobs on a priority basis.
And how do her lights have priority over my refrigerator?
You saw that dress and you really had to ask?
I watched the moon land on that TV, the 1969 Mets winning the World Series, Nixon's resignation...lots of good times.
He took special interest in one student. Can you guess who that young man was?
Who?
Linda, don't be such an idiot. It's me.
Oh, when you said young it threw me off.
...everybody at Harvard used to stand in line for days to get into one of his classes
Who said Harvard students don't know how to party?
I can't believe you don't remember me!
I tell you one thing... you're becoming impossible to forget!
What's new, Linda?
A bunch of patients, but that's not important. Oh, yeah, there is a lawyer in your office, but that's not important. Wait 'til you see Margaret, she is wearing the most hideous thing.
The flower dress?
No, worse.
The pants with the gold circles?
No, worse. It looks like someone ate a box of crayons and threw up a sweater. Whatever you do, don't laugh.
Linda, Margaret and I are coworkers, I know how to keep a straight face.
[walks in the back as Margaret walks by and laughs at her 'swest']
We need a new strategy.
Does it involve me taking the bailiff's gun and blasting my way out of here?
No, that's plan B.
Dr. Becker, I don't want to hear your voice again. Counselor, call your next witness.
[pointing to Becker] It's him.
And when you say Dr. Becker, who are you referring too?
[points to Becker] That man there.
[courtroom gasps]
Oh, come on, who didn't know that already?
[Melvin, Vinny's Lawyer asked Margaret a question after she had sworn the truth on the bible]
Was that a real bible?
[talking to Becker]
I'm sorry, John, I have to tell the truth.
[pointing to the jury] You know they can hear you?
So you would consider yourself to be a good friend of his?
I would say so, yes.
Uh, one more question, Miss Gilbert: is it true you're a prostitute?
I don't see what that has to do with this case.
What's the matter? You're ashamed to admit you're a prostitute?
No more ashamed than you should be to admit you're a lawyer!
[somewhat chastened] No further questions.
[after standing up from witness chair in courtroom] Whether or not I'm a nice guy is not on trial here! Whether or not I'm a good doctor is, and if this court can't tell the difference, then to hell with this court!
Doctor Becker, you are out of order!
[turning to judge] No! You know something: You're out of order! This whole system is out of order!
[bangs gavel] OK, Pacino! That's it! You have no idea how much I hate that damn movie!
