[to Ellen] There won't be room for him [your boyfriend] and Patty. There won't be room for you and Patty. With Patty Hewes, there's only Patty.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
When it comes to reading people, Patty lives and dies by instinct. The woman has the sharpest bullshit meter I've ever seen. And you're at the most difficult step. It's do or die. If you're phony with her for one second, she'll skewer you.
Good. Phony's not my strong suit.
[after seeing Patty at her sister's wedding reception] Ms. Hewes. What are you doing here?
I had to meet you.
Why?
Because, kiddo, you're the first person stupid enough to turn me down.
Kids are like clients. They want all of you, all the time.

If you were a man, I'd kick the living dogshit out of you.
If you were a man, I'd be worried.
[to Arthur Frobisher about Katie] The law is on our side. The evidence is on our side. On paper, this case is tighter than a bull's ass on fight night. But if Patty Hewes gets that girl in front of a jury... all bets are off.
How old were you?
I'm sorry?
I had just turned six.
When what?
When I realized I was a good liar. How old were you?
Well, there's always a solution.
What kind of solution?
A permanent one.
What? Oh, God, no. What, you think that I would...?
It wouldn't get back to you.
Oh, we're-we're talking about a human life here. Sh-She's an innocent girl. She didn't do anything. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Sometimes that's enough.
What happened with Katie? I spoke to her, Ms. Hewes. I don't believe she's lying.
Really? Why is that?
Because she has no reason to.
Don't be stupid, Ellen. Everyone's hiding something.
I manipulated you, yes.
Well, I don't like being manipulated.
Duly noted.
[After opening a parcel containing a grenade]
It's going to be a shitty week!
[to her employees] All of you are members of an extraordinary team, and I value each and every one of you. If you want to quit, just tell me now. But if you call in sick Thursday or Friday, don't bother coming in Monday. Your jobs won't be waiting for you. That grenade was never meant to destroy our office. It was meant to destroy our resolve.
Taking power away from a man is a dangerous thing. Someone always pays.
[(After reading Michael Hewes' internet history]
What's a M-I-L-F?
Beats me!
And how's your morning?
Every day above ground is a Pyrrhic victory.
