SPSchool Principal
[sarcastically] A tall Black teenager. It figures - he's a criminal and he plays basketball!
Well, we'll check out your chess team next.
S6 E21Pro Se
[A schizophrenic murderer is representing himself]
His first trial, and he knows just enough law to turn it into a circus.
A circus? 3 counts of murder? He's taking it seriously.
Then why doesn't he plead insanity?
Because he's insane!
S6 E22Homesick
Ruthie Miller? Who's paying her bills?
The British Consulate.
Go to tea. Offer her a crumpet.
I never did like chasing my tail.
But it's a lot of fun when you catch it.
S6 E23Aftershock
DDoctor
Heard you did okay last night.
MSMickey Scott
Meatloaf and mash, couple Dr. Peppers.
DDoctor
I would've gone with the pizza. Sausage and pepper.
MSMickey Scott
Maybe I should start over.
[the doctor places the needle in his arm]
MMickey
I bet you get a real kick outta that.
DDoctor
Now's not a good time to go crybaby, Mickey.
MSMickey Scott
Yeah, right. In your dreams.
[about his father] He had things the way he liked them. And, if anybody screwed it up, he had these big, thick hands. Sometimes my mother had to lock herself in the basement.
BGBar Guy
Son of a bitch hit her?
Ten years. I'm still scared of those hands. He smoked like a chimney. Cancer. He'd lay there in that hospital room, with tubes coming out of his arms. They pumped him full of morphine, so he wouldn't know how much he hurt. He didn't know where he was. This tough ... He just lay there. He was breathing, and then he was gone. I don't know why I'm talking about this. I never talk about this. Let's play darts.
[Kincaid is driving an inebriated Briscoe home]
You know, it wouldn't be so terrible.
What's that?
If you were my kid.
I guess I should take that as a compliment.
Hey, you're smart, you're pretty, you got a good job, and you don't hate my guts.
Lennie, I doubt your daughter hates you.
Oh, you don't know her, you don't know her. [laughs ruefully] I don't even know her. I never will.
[voiceover narration over Kincaid's death scene] A crowd of people stood and cheered when he raped her. They were supposedly good people, and they did nothing. Then he beat her to death with a tire iron. And today, the state of New York got its revenge. It's not enough, and it's too much.
S7 E1Causa Mortis
[looks at Mercer's motion for suppression] Tough to suppress the fact that the car was in his fiancée's possession.
MMercer
Well, then charge her with the carjacking.
SSalva
What?!
MMercer
[laughs] Oh, that's a lawyer's joke, son. [to McCoy and Jamie] He's very much in love with her.
I believe in monsters and things that go bump in the night, Jack. May they rot in Hell, along with their attorneys.
[about Kincaid's death] You know, a few weeks before it happened, she told me she wanted to quit. I persuaded her to stay.
Yeah, well ... I could have walked past that bar.
S7 E2I.D.
With all due respect, your honor, when you change the rules of the game in the middle of a trial...
JMJudge Marks
You're done, Mr. McCoy!
...there ought to be at least the appearance of impartiality!
JMJudge Marks
Officer, place Mr. McCoy under arrest for contempt of this court!
I move for an adjournment so that the People may appeal your honor's ruling!
JMJudge Marks
Denied! Cuff him!
[the court officers slap the cuffs on McCoy and escort him out of the courtroom]
[Schiff finds McCoy in a holding cell with 3 other men]
Nice.
Adam. [to his cellmates] Mr. Barton, Mr. Jasperson, Mr. Montoya-- Mr. Schiff.
We're in a good mood, aren't we?
All except Mr. Jasperson. He was just convicted of murder.
JMr. Jasperson
Yeah, and it was bull. I'm gonna be gettin' outta here soon.
Young man, sit down.
S7 E3Good Girl
There's two empty wine glasses in the sink.
There's two empty condom wrappers over there. The near-perfect Sunday afternoon.
Yeah: I'd almost trade places with him.
Archer's making history. He's the first lawyer to claim a white defendant is being persecuted by the Black power structure.
