[searching Peterson's apartment] Nice suits, nice carpet. You could put a swimming pool in that closet.
Yeah Lennie, but is he happy?
I'd be ecstatic.

Why would I kill my friend over 3% of my net worth?
Leverage, Peterson. It was collateral for part of one loan for the airline, that was part of your transportation holding company, which was financed up to your eyebrows. So, you pull out one brick from that wall, it comes crashing down, you gotta go back to collecting Lincoln pennies.
PPeterson
Rey, Rey, Rey, Rey! Do me a favor: go to business school for a couple of years before you explain my financing to me, OK?
[Van Buren summons Curtis to leave the room]
I can't talk right now - I have to go to business school.
S7 E5Corruption
Give me another club soda. And put it in a dirty glass.
5 of us are watching and Flynn's the only one to see Morales reach for his gun.
Hey, Sonny Liston got knocked on his ass by a punch nobody saw.
[Hellman has just ruined Briscoe's ex-lover's reputation in court]
You get off on that, Judge? Humiliating innocent people?
JHJudge Hellman
Are you upset because your corroborating witness is a liar and a slut?
You sick son of a bitch!
[Briscoe advances on Hellman, whose aides restrain him]
JHJudge Hellman
What the hell do you think you're doing?
You and Flynn deserve each other. I hope you both rot in hell.
S7 E6Double Blind
Freedom of the press isn't free, Mr. Bailey, but turning over your mailing list won't cost you a cent.
BBailey
I can't believe this: it's extortion.
It's leverage.
A manic-depressive commits suicide. Somebody call Ripley's.
S7 E7Deadbeat
[about Max Schaeffer] If he did kill Webber, he's walkin' around with 50 grand traveling money in his pocket.
You think he's gonna run out on his grandson the same way the father did?
You know, when we saw the kid, he was playin' a video game.
Yeah?
A new PlayStation.
CD drive?
Yeah, with, like, 6 games.
Ooh. Crash Bandicoot?
Uh, excuse me, young parents. My kids' idea of high technology was Barbie's convertible.
How many child support payments did you ever miss, Lennie?
My ex just kept my checkbook. If I ever forgot, she knew how to forge my signature.
We already got the father.
But she's guilty too.
We put her in jail, her son dies alone.
Everybody's got a sad story.
It won't be an easy case to make. Webber's dead. Her father won't talk.
We can look for other evidence.
You feel burned?
You feel sorry for her?
Call me a sentimental fool. [pause] There's no statute of limitations on murder. We'll keep it. Right on top of the pile.
S7 E8Family Business
What exactly is your relationship to Kate?
AArbaugh
I'm her philosophical and spiritual exploration guide. And I feed the dogs.
Either you lied on the stand, Mr Bergeen, or you lied to the police. There's about five felonies we can charge you with. Do you really want to go to jail? Tell us the truth!
BBergreen
The truth is, I love my daughters. Both of them!
We'll see how much they love you.
A murder goes unpunished, it's bad for business.
S7 E9Entrapment
Hey, didn't you learn anything from Mister Rogers? A policeman is your best friend.
BBooks
My people need unity far more than truth.
What they need is justice.
BBooks
What that is depends on which end of the bullwhip you're on.
