Jamie Ross quotes from Law & Order

Bail, Miss Ross?

Ross

$500,000 on the doctor, your honor, and status quo for Mr. Camacho.

I'm sorry. I still don't see why we're here.

Ross

People request the cases against Mr. Camacho and Dr. Cosgrove be consolidated.

On what grounds?

Ross

The People allege they both killed Nancy O'Neal.

What? Me and this gangster?!

Your Honor, Dr. Cosgrove is a respected surgeon…

Enough! Elias Camacho remains remanded. Bail is set for Donald Cosgrove at $500,000. Now, go yell at somebody else.

Ross

His whole life was a charade. It's pathetic.

McCoy

Maybe thirty, forty years ago, it made more sense.

Schiff

Back then, they had lynch mobs and bull-whips. Now, they use toilet plungers. Progress.

It went too far; I am sorry about that. Try to understand, Jamie.

Ross

It's not in the job description.

Ross

[about Anderton] Last year he made a surprise takeover bid for Commonwealth Airlines. One week later, he withdrew the bid, and accused the FAA and the stockholders of conspiring against him. It's classic manic-depressive behavior.

Schiff

Doesn't make sense. Runs a Fortune 500 company.

McCoy

So did Howard Hughes.

McCoy

He kills 3 people and hides behind the bottle.

Ross

The law says he can.

McCoy

The law. [scoffs] Probably written on a cocktail napkin. Intent follows the bullet! It shouldn't matter if it was fired by a drunk or Carrie Nation.

McCoy

Doctors, the question is very simple: at the time she fired the gun, did Lindsay Carson appreciate the consequences of her action, and did she know it was wrong?

Yes.

No.

Ross

Terrific.

[after McCoy refuses to talk about a plea deal until she speaks] I needed him to help us with the appeal. I thought he owed us. Dad told me to forget it, but I couldn't. I tracked Mayer to his hotel.

Ross

And you brought the gun with you?

Yes. Just to scare him. He wouldn't speak to me. I followed him everywhere. The theater, the restaurant. I waited to talk to him. When I thought he was going to duck out the back of the restaurant, I went after him. I told him he was a bastard for abandoning a good man. And he laughed. Said he wasn't the problem. The problem was my father was a murderer. And then he went into the restroom, and I didn't believe him. I couldn't. I was just so angry that I went in there and started shooting, and then when I saw that other man, I just kept on firing. I'm sorry. I didn't know...

Schiff

The whole world says her father's a murderer; one guy tells her he's sick. She heard what she wanted to hear.

Ross

We all do.

McCoy

Yeah, but we don't all pay $40,000 to hear it.

Ross

Did you lie?

Curtis

Look, I felt sorry for her. I didn't think that she should get fired from her job.

Ross

Is that a yes? You lied?

Curtis

Yes.

Ross

Are you lying now?

Ross

I see Abbot isn't trying to keep the press from doing its job today.

McCoy

Today, it's news.
