I will give you protection, and I'll put in a good word with your family court judge.
LSLonnie Samble
And if I don't talk to you?
Family courts don't take kindly to mothers who are prostitutes. It would be a shame if they found out.

Patty: Phil makes the mistake of believing that man is inherently good.
No, I believe that man is inherently self-interested, and the only way to keep self-interest in check is through free market competition.
This investigation is corrupt, and when I prove it, your career will be over.
DMDon McGraff
You don't want to threaten me.
I don't make threats, Mr. McGraff. This is war.
It's hard to know... what I... owe David.
And what you owe yourself.
Yeah.
How has retirement been?
CSClaire's Dad
Quiet.
Quiet's good.
CSClaire's Dad
Most of the time. Of course, it wouldn't be so quiet if I had some grandchildren.
You know, if you wanted grandkids, Dad, you should have had more than one kid yourself.
[about Jill dating her son] You appear to be an intelligent, attractive woman. Why are you dating a child?
JBJill Burnham
We both know that Michael is not a child.
Are you mentally ill?
You're safe, Rick. You have nothing to worry about.
That's right. I don't. 'Cause you're going to do it. Or I call your old lieutenant. I tell him what I know. And I send you to prison for life.
[to Jill about Michael] You will break his heart. And when you do, I'll rip your face off.
I want to apologize for pushing you to pursue Frobisher's connection to Calder security. I, uh... I got emotional. I crossed a line.
We've talked about your temper, Ellen. It's a shame that you still can't control it.
I said I'm sorry.
I heard you the first time.
So, you were asking about marriage. Well, you know, it's funny because everyone will tell you it's about trust, commitment.
It isn't?
No, that's exactly what it is. Trust, commitment. I mean, some things in this life are simple.
I mean, the allure of an older woman is undeniable. In junior high school, I was always more attracted to my older sister's friends.
It has nothing to do with Jill's age. Her energy is incredibly attractive. She lives in the moment.
I understand. We just don't want to see you get hurt.
Thank you, but I can handle it.
All this plotting and betrayal isn't in your nature, Claire. Must have kept you up nights. Except those nights when you were sleeping around.
Go to hell!
I probably will. But while I'm here, no one is going to take away my goddamn company!
[after the news about Patty's husband having an affair]
I can't figure out whether I should thank you.
For what?
Sending me the pictures. You could have been trying to protect me. Let me know before the... world knew. Or maybe you were just being vindictive.
I met with Judge Oliver. You were right. I think he'll play ball.
Did he try to grope you? He can be a very grabby old man.
No, he was a perfect gentleman, except, of course, his willingness to be bought.
DPDave Pell
You know how I made so much money on Wall Street back in the day?
How?
DPDave Pell
Every day I'd wake up assuming I was going to lose it all. I'd go to work and make a pile more.
See that? I always assume I'm going to win.
