Ms. Connor, would you characterize your life as one big blur of narcotics and intercourse?
Would you characterize yourself as an asshole?!

Ms. Connor, would you characterize your life as one big blur of narcotics and intercourse?
Would you characterize yourself as an asshole?!
If these next few questions make you blush, Miss Connor, I do apologize.
To screw.
I'm sorry?
That's why I was in an empty parking lot in the middle of the night. And later on a couch and then on the floor. Do you find cocaine is like Viagra? Or are you more of a tantric breathing kind of a guy, like Sting? If these past few answers make you blush, Mr. Fiske, I apologize.
[after his deposition of Katie Connor] You hear that, Patty? That's the sound of the zeroes dropping off of Mr. Frobisher's revised offer.
You know, you're not mad that I lied. You're just pissed that I got caught and made you look bad.
I only ever wanted the truth.
No, Ellen, all you ever wanted was to impress Patty Hewes.
Ray Fiske is a brilliant lawyer who made us look very foolish today. It happens. I understand how it must hurt right now... what happened with Katie... but... there's a very important lesson to be learned from all this.
Which is?
Trust... no one.
I'm sick of her shit.
That's right, Tomahawk, break the shackles. Take the power. Always identify your oppressor by name. So what's shit are you sick of?
Patty's.
Say it loud!
I'm sick of Patty Hewes' shit!
I'm worried the sun don't shine on the same dog's tail all week.
I have no idea what that means.
It means we got lucky.
We picked Ms. Hewes for a reason. She's the best. She said there'd be some setbacks. We knew there were going to be some ups and downs.
Where the hell are the ups, Karen?
You're a gambler. You don't change your horse mid-race, do you?
If it's pulling up lame, I do, then I shoot him.
Oh, Jesus.
Two right in the head real quick. Problem solved.
[about Ellen] How's my lawyer friend?
She wanted to come.
But she's stuck up Patty's ass and couldn't make it.
There’s a huge difference between being number one and being number two.
Yes, there is.
You’re a number two, Tom. That’s your talent. That’s your limit.
This is what you came here to tell me?
This was a big step. Approaching a witness under false pretenses. Offering protection you can't provide.
Don't they teach that in law school?
How is Katie? I liked her.
Is that why you lied to her, humiliated her and got her to perjure herself?
[to Ellen] Let's be honest -- men are sensitive. They don't like to be dragged anywhere. We may not like it, but we know how to play second fiddle. We're bred for it. Men can't do it. At least, not the ones worth sharing a bed with.
[to Ellen] A man should want to be in charge. Now the trick is... making him feel like he actually is...Most men can't handle an ambitious woman. It may take you a few tries, but make sure you find one who can.
Just give me a name, Gregory. I'll keep you out of this.
So, what, I give you a name, you won't come after me?
Not if you give us a bigger fish.
Barney.
What's his last name?
Rubble. Lives in Bedrock. Hell of a right hook.
