I don't regret anything I do, Mr. McCoy. I hope you never do. [leaves]
Letting that man walk out the door is a start.

[G-Train's fans are protesting his trial]
Do they really think he's innocent?
I don't think they care.
In a weird way, the dismissal hurt Collins more than the indictment. When his fans found out he wasn't the killer, his CD dropped 10 places in the charts.
At this rate, he might have to go out and actually shoot somebody.

I know first-hand what it is to be discriminated against. But as long as we treat it as a social problem instead of as an illness, we lose all chance of treating it.
No, sir. As long as we provide an excuse, we lose all chance of punishing it.
We live in a world where people commit unspeakable violent acts against other people. Terrorists, racists, anyone who kills out of hate. Do we hold them accountable, or do we excuse their acts and sit them down for a chat to tell them that it's wrong? In the world the defense would create, murderers would never be held responsible. In that world, right and wrong would lose all meaning. Killers would become victims. The only one who would benefit from the defendant being found mentally ill is the defendant. Not society. Certainly not the victim. Not Thomas Reddick or his family, or anyone else with his skin color. To excuse Ray Burrows because of his prejudice only promotes racism. What happened to Thomas Reddick is a crime of hate. To call it anything else is to deny justice.
I wonder if Burrows will still have a problem with minorities once he gets to prison and finds out he is one.

People go to confession to seek forgiveness, to express regret for whatever it is that they've done. I don't know of any priest who would absolve a murderer without that, or without their agreeing to come forward to accept whatever punishment he or she might deserve.
Well, this kid is letting an innocent man do his time for him, and he tried to kill the priest to keep him quiet.

The Grady case.
A patient threatens his shrink, a client threatens his lawyer, any confidentiality there is gone.
FPFather Paul
Religion and the law don't always speak the same language. That being said, on these facts I wouldn't have much trouble revealing what he told me.
So what's stopping this priest?
FPFather Paul
He must still have hope. Hope that he can get this kid to come forward and save his soul. My guess is, as long as this priest has that hope, you're not going to get him to talk.
So my job is to take his hope away from him.
FPFather Paul
Don't worry, Jack, I'll still put in a good word for you.

If Father Evans refuses to testify, the court could hold him in contempt. If he violates his conscience or the precepts of the Church, there may also be consequences. In either case, it's no place to be. Find another way, Mr. McCoy. For all our sakes.

Hey! I'm gonna lose my spot!
Don't worry - we serve pancakes at our house too.

I just came by to tell you I put you back on the trial schedule.
I appreciate that.
And I can appreciate what you did. But, you know, if you wanted to save people, you should've become a doctor.
S12 E14Missing
Looks she said the hell with her stuff and just took off.
I don't blame her. Isn't moving one of the 7 major traumas? Death, divorce, colonoscopy?
[McCoy finds out that Mrs. Weldon killed Lisa and framed her husband]
Your husband underestimated you, Mrs. Weldon.

Like he said, he's not a perfect man. He's made mistakes.

[reading a movie poster] "Les Artistes d'Armour. A painter shows how passion is the highest form of art."
Sounds like a date movie.
Sounds like I'm home watching the Knicks game.
Your shrink was trying to predict antisocial behavior by looking at her subjects' early childhood experience.
Did she predict someone would grow up and murder their therapist?
You'd have to get into her session notes. That's where any clues would be.
What kind of clues?
First thing I'd look for would be some sort of physical abuse, possibly sexual. And because the nature of your murder was particularly vicious, I'd focus on someone who felt betrayed by their therapist.
At 150 an hour, that would be practically everybody, wouldn't it?
