TV show quotes
[answers his phone] Bernard. [pause] Who is this? [pause] Screw you! [hangs up]
I'm guessing that wasn't your mother.
Somebody called me a Nazi. You know, an hour ago, somebody called and said I needed to go on a diet.
Maybe that was your mother.
I'll book some time for the grand jury.
What for? The woman's insane.
Not for her. Did you see the file on worldposse.net?
That place on the World Wide Web?
Actually, they don't call it that anymore.
I'm sorry, should I have said "wireless telegraph"?
[while being cross-examined by Cutter about Carrie Sands] I never told her to kill anybody.
The woman was dangerously out of control. What did you expect? What did you reasonably expect?
So, the Vela cartel killed Nina Wilshire because she was in a song that extolled the virtues of a rival cartel.
It's called "talking smack with a semiautomatic".
[Rafe refuses to testify after being intimidated by the cartel]
Tell the judge we need more time. We can reach him.
He's already been reached.
[about the killer's motive] It's either personal, professional, or mineral.
Brenda Sawyer was gathering data about your miracle drug until she was killed by a rogue employee. But why am I telling you something you already know?
I don't know what Marshall did or didn't do, but I do know that Lextenda is an effective product.
Brenda Sawyer thought otherwise. That you were selling false hope to desperate people at 1,000 bucks a day. Doing it by co-opting doctors with timeshares and tropical vacations, that it's a rigged game.
Don't get self-righteous on me, Jack. If corporations didn't make profits, where would politicians like you be?
You're right, and it stinks. There are too many officeholders in the health industry's pockets. It's one of the reasons we can't pass a decent health care bill in this country. And, oh, by the way ... [hands him a check] It's a certified check reimbursing your campaign contribution.
What do you want me to do?
Grow a conscience.
[eyes Connie as she leaves] You, too, Mike?
Me, what?
Come on, she is still hot as hell.
What are you talking about?
Just do it. I did.
Woll claims that he and Connie had... a sexual relationship. He did everything but show me the dirty pictures.
Did you ask her?
No. Even that would be crossing the line. I don’t have sex with people that I work with, and I don’t ask them about their sex lives. We’re supposed to be smarter than that here, aren’t we? I mean, who’d put themselves in a situation like that?
You mean besides me?
It is worse for a woman, Jack. Sleeping with the teacher, sleeping with the boss, it demeans them and calls into question everything they have accomplished.
So, she deserves extra credit for stepping forward, doesn't she? I assume you still find her competent?
Of course I do. We're colleagues, we're not lovers... [McCoy looks surprised with this "confession"] ... and that is the way it's supposed to be.
Well, the cards weren't going my way. Guy with hole aces sitting on the nuts burned me for eight grand. Duane fronted me a loan.
He was playing loan shark?
He was working for one. Got me $8,000. The vig was one point a week. I paid him back a few days before he got killed. Dudes, I swear, I'm just a guy who really sucks at poker.
"Have a nice day." I'll have a nice day when I'm cured.
Since when is it liberal bias to stand up for human dignity and human life, for fairness under the law? You should reexamine your own values, Mr. Pewls, before you start questioning mine.
[Harkavy has been acquitted of three counts of murder and is getting a big cash settlement]
Looks like you got what you wanted.
I didn't want it, not like this. It just fell in my lap.
But I know you felt bad about it, and you had a chance to come clean. You didn't.
What do you know about anything? Talk to me in 40 years.
We can't kick Gans, but we still can't charge him.
Well, pardon my detectives for doing their job. And by the way, we already have two murder suspects. Good ones.
Not good enough.
Exactly what do you want from us?
Clarity.
Clarity. Mr. Cutter, exactly how long have you been an ADA? Since when do you get evidentiary clarity in a murder case handed to you on a silver platter? [opens her office door and gestures for him to leave] I think we're done here for today.
I have to attend a panel on violent crime. It would be nice if we were solving it instead of just talking about it.
