[A nun has been accused of child molestation; Dr. Olivet has interviewed the alleged victim]
There's a lot of pain there. I don't think it's an act.
Great. So we move on a nun.

Don't nuns have curfews?
SBSister Bettina
That went out with the penguin suit.
S2 E18Cradle to Grave
BSBoxer's Lawyer
It's entrapment. You offered a bribe.
You can lead a horse to water, you can't make him steal it.
Sir, please explain the facts of life to your client

What? The birds, the bees, the penal code?
S2 E19The Fertile Fields
Banks kill with a thousand cuts, not a blow to the head.
[about a case] Mike, I've had week-old flounder that smelled better than this!

RReily
Half the smack in the country blows through here. You seen a lot of arrests lately?
Well, maybe they’re paying you off.
RReily
Oh yeah, millions. My mortgage is a front.
Tomorrow's Post. Says we're negotiating a plea. No attribution.
Dragging us to the altar.
And I don't like shotgun weddings.
Docket #51423. The People vs. Marian Borland and Randall Borland. The charge is murder in the se ... What's happening? Didn't I already see this case on my docket?
People's motion charges against a previous defendant were dismissed, Your Honor. The People regret their error.
Regret? We're talking about murder, Mr. Robinette. You oughta publish an apology in The Times. How do the defendants plead?
MMarian
Not guilty.
RRandy
Not guilty.
I'll hear a few spirited words on the subject of bail. [to the defense attorney] Leonard, it's nice to see you. Please be brief.
LLeonard
Thank you, Judge. Nice to see you, too. My clients are not a flight risk. They're bound to the community, and any high bail would be a hardship.
Mr. Robinette?
The People request $50,000 on each defendant. Flight is not an issue, but the severity of the crime...
Go no further. When you're right, you're right. And, Leonard, he's right. This is Murder Two. 50,000 each defendant.

CColson
Why the hell else would he pay me?
I don’t know. Blackmail comes to mind.
CColson
You obviously don't have enough evidence to arrest me. Which means you don't have enough to insult me, either.
My father wanted me to be a doctor. I went so far as to study organic chemistry.
What happened?
I grew up.

JBJudge Berman
I'm getting behind here, counselor. May I ask why Mr. Vilanis refuses to enter a plea?
CCantwell
He wants to represent himself.
JBJudge Berman
I hate pro se cases. Did he bring his own soapbox, or does he expect the court to provide one?
You look like the messenger who’s afraid he’s going to be killed.
I'm afraid the message might kill the recipient.
[Corcoran is being led out of the courtroom, where reporters are waiting]
[to the bailiff] George, take him out by the back stairs.
CCorcoran
Thank you, Adam. I could use a friend.
You always did, Dwight. That was the problem.
S3 E1Skin Deep
So where does that get us? A lover's quarrel?
After sex? Most people, you fight, and then have sex.
