PaulYou shot out your client's kneecap!
PaulDoing nothing is what I'll regret most. I have devoted my life to keeping this firm an outstanding institution. Now, in the twilight of my career, this, this mess could destroy my reputation. All because Denny cannot control his aged groin.
I'm still a good lawyer.
PaulYes, you are. [pauses] You remember Muhammad Ali's last fight? We had ringside seats. He lost so pathetically to Larry Holmes; we were so crushed. The tragedy that night, Denny, wasn't that he couldn't still box; he could. The tragedy was that he still thought he was Ali. You're a good lawyer, my friend. You're just not Denny Crane.
PaulDenny will ask the questions. If you [Alan] attempt to ask the witness anything at all, you will be fired.
There's a legal term for this...ah yes, "ooooo"
Lock and load. Where is everybody?
PaulThis is an administrative meeting, Denny.
Oh! Then what the hell am I doing here?
Remember the good ole days when you liked to know what was going on? When you could go from your office to the elevator without a roadmap?
Didn't need a roadmap to find my way around your body, did I, Shirley?
I wouldn't know. I was usually asleep.
I once had her...and Streisand...at the same time. Remember that?
Hahhh, I do Denny. Ha ha. And not to burst your bubble, but that was a male impersonator. Perhaps the penis might have been your clue.
Why does Shirley get to skip the staff meetings?
PaulShe's got a trial in New York later this week, so she has a busy day.
Some of us have trials today, so if you don't mind, I'd like to cut out.
What's your case about, Brad?
What is it about?
It involves interference with contractual relations.
You mean...lesbians?
PaulWhere are you?
Today, they're calling Tracy to testify that her ex-lover was-
Lesbian ex-lover.
-to testify that Tracy was scamming her for money. Tracy was in fact not an actual bone-fide...
Lesbian?
You like saying it?
I do.
Say it again.
Lesbian.
Keep going.
LESBIAN! LESBIAN! Lez-bee-un. All together now!
Lesbian!
I also like to watch. How many people like to-
PaulAll right, that's enough, this is a staff meeting. I'll ask you all to conduct yourselves appropriately and professionally.
Cookies everyone! Nourishment is most important in the morning.
PaulWho is this woman?
Take two, Tara, you're a rail.
(Later in the episode)
Hey Brad! All together now!
Lesbian!
What are you doing in my office?
PaulThis is my office, Denny.
Oh, that must mean I've come to see you...why?
The rich are different from you and me.
PaulCertainly from you.
Congratulations. I saw you were the lucky one who caught Bev's garter.
PaulYes. I'm going for a full battery of tests first thing in the morning.
PaulYou had sex with another woman and your wife in the three hours you were married?
It was my special day. I had taken my little blue pill.
There is no cure for cancer, but we've got three pills for that.
White roses, gold leaf cake, Bev's boobs swimming out of her wedding dress.
Who said money can't buy tastelessness?
I think Bev and Denny did a lovely job.
Paul11 marriages between the two of them. They've had plenty of practice.
[about Gracie Jane]
PaulMy God, we need to gag this woman.
I did once. Best sexual experience of my life.
[About Gracie Jane]
PaulDenny, you have got to gag this woman.
I would love to.
PaulHave you seen Shirley?
Naked?
PaulLately. She's missing.
[During an office meeting about a costume party]
This is so high school.
PaulAs opposed to you and Jeffrey slugging it out in the men's room?
I won.
Did not!
PaulShut up!
