Borgia quotes from Law & Order

This trial's starting to look like Rashomon.

19 manslaughter counts? Your Honor, my client is accused of selling sterile saline solution, a harmless substance.

Hardly harmless if it's passed off as flu vaccine. Mr. Peters recklessly caused the death of these people by providing a useless vaccine to a marketplace driven by panic and hysteria.

The definition of recklessness is the conscious disregard of a substantial risk.

The phony vaccines were sold to at-risk groups. The elderly, young children, people with chronic medical conditions. The victims didn't get the vaccinations they needed because they wrongly believed they were protected by Mr. Peters' worthless version. If I could charge him with 19 counts of murder, too, I would.

Your Honor, my client allegedly sold sterile saline solution to one party who sold it to another, who sold it to a third, who gave it to someone else who may or may not have gotten the flu. And if they did, may or may not have died from it.

Gave it? It was injected into their bodies in lieu of the real vaccine, one that these individuals desperately needed. This "harmless" saline solution would be used by physicians who mistakenly thought they were protecting their patients from a life-threatening illness.

Your Honor?

Save your breath, Mr. Pollack. I, too, regret that your client can't be charged with murder. No bail. Defendant is remanded.

[reading one of Jobson's articles] "Women find Moretti as mouthwatering as his tirimasu..."

That was another reason she was fired. Her writing sucked.

My daughter is very disturbed...

-and your son is a murderer and potential suicide!

[stares blankly] Your point?

The guy literally invented the 80s-style hostile takeover.

Good guy?

Sure. If you like hypocritical, narcissistic, cold-blooded frauds.

Forgiveness is a Christian ideal.

McCoy

And if you don't believe in Christ, well, then you'll just have to serve your time?

[after Elwin agrees to plead guilty] I'm just curious, Jack. What were you going to offer?

McCoy

I was considering going as low as Man One, praise the Lord.

You're on a medication cocktail?

I shared a needle with a friend. Now he's dead, and my white-cell count is in the toilet. My life went from April to crap.

I'll cancel my date.

McCoy

You sure?

Yeah, he's pretty annoying anyway.

There was no personal interest in this for me.

Your press conferences say different.

McCoy

A white woman sterilizing delinquent girls because she judged them unfit to reproduce? Eugenics.

I thought that ended in Nazi Germany.

Her neighbor says they were near divorce, until Arlene got pregnant. It's kind of sad, don't you think?

McCoy

This woman did a murder-kidnapping. Breaks my heart.

Jack, Arthur gave you the out. You could have handed off this case.

McCoy

Would you let intimidation effect the way you prosecuted a crime?

I'm not talking about intimidation, I'm talking about getting killed.

McCoy

It doesn't make a difference. It's about the law. It doesn't work if we don't make it work.

Fontana and Green are on the way. They wanna get our statements.

McCoy

Fine.

Jack, are you okay? Jack?

McCoy

I thought he was aiming at me.

He tormented his family, he battered his girlfriend. Danny Ashburn wasn't a victim, he was an argument for birth control.

McCoy

He's not the one on trial here.

You oughtta put his pregnant girlfriend on the stand. The jury will admire the mother for not killing him sooner.
