Somebody shot an animal. Call a vet.

We look like carnival hucksters. "Want a deal? Take a number. You too can have a piece of the movie rights."

This trial's a hummer. I don't know how you look yourself in the mirror.
I'm Catholic, I can feel guilty about anything. But I bet my conscience is easier to live with than yours.

Your Honor, my client is a respected oral surgeon...
JSJudge Sirkin
No dice, counselor. I've seen Marathon Man.
AAttorney
Mr. Kirk, when you leave the hospital, where are you going to go?
KKirk
My sister said I could stay with her.
AAttorney
But things didn't work out the last time you stayed there.
KKirk
That was her fault.
AAttorney
And when you left her house, where did you go?
KKirk
Where I live, Bedford Street. See, there's this sonic convergence...
AAttorney
And when you go there, you get high, don't you?
KKirk
Yes. I have to. I feel better.
AAttorney
And you buy the crack using money you won from suing the residents of Bedford Street, isn't that right?
KKirk
They harassed me!
AAttorney
They say they're the victims.
KKirk
I'm the victim! He tried to kill me! I may never walk right again!
AAttorney
You're gonna sue 'em again, Mr. Kirk?
KKirk
You better believe it! I'll get enough crack to last me a lifetime! And every time that son of a bitch walks out of his apartment, he'll see me, sitting in my Rolls Royce wheelchair, getting high and getting in his pudgy little face!

I've been eager myself. It's not a crime.
[Briscoe and Logan arrest a rock star]
MManager
We'll sue you for false arrest. We're going to get our lawyers.
Oh, lawyers. I'm so scared. You hear that, Mike?
Oh, I'm shaking in my blue suede shoes.
MManager
This is harassment. False arrest. You'll hear from our lawyers.
Oh, no. Not the lawyers. I'm scared. You scared, Mike?
I'm shakin' in my blue suede shoes.
Stone: Yes, Julia Wood willingly joined Mr. C-Square in his limo. And, yes, she willingly went up to his hotel room. And, yes, she even thought of having sеx with him. But to give her the benefit of the doubt, Mr. Clarence "C-Square" Carmichael is rich. And to some people in this courtroom, he's attractive. And, of course, he's world-famous. But Julia Wood did not ask to be thrown down on the bed. She did not ask to have her legs pried open. She did not ask to be pinned down and forcibly penetrated. Julia Wood said no. And whatever expectations she had going up to that hotel suite, once she got there, she changed her mind. And that's her right. But in Mr. C-Square's world, a woman's rights are of no consequence. Sеx is an entitlement of his stardom. Julia Wood ain't a lady. She a bitch, an amusement. To be held prisoner and used until he decides that he's through with her. In our country, one of the fundamental rights is the right of any of us to say no. We do it in our religion. We do it in our politics. And in our workplace. And in our world, when a woman says no and a man ignores her, that's rapе in the first degree.

[testifying against a racist killer] I remember the voice of the first white man who told me not to come in his store. I remember the voice of the doctor who told me I had a healthy son. And I remember the voice of the man who took out a gun and shot me.
[after a phone call] Tunney has been out on the streets since 4:00 this afternoon.
What?!
Where's our notice?
Some clerk's dog ate it!
There are exigent circumstances here. Tunney could be pulling the trigger while we're talking.
JPJudge Pongracic
If he's your killer. Mr. McCoy's motion made the point that one of these murders was committed while Mr. Tunney was in jail.
By a copycat, and he's not linked to the killings that Tunney's charged with.
JPJudge Pongracic
I suggest you take your argument to the appellate division.
Because you won't admit you made a mistake?
JPJudge Pongracic
Keep up that tone, Mr. Stone, and I'll put you in contempt.
[worried] Ben...
You'll jail me, and you won't jail a mass murderer?
Ben! I'm sure Judge Rodriguez will hear an appeal expeditiously.
We don't have time for that.
We can get an order in half an hour. I used to work for him.
Fine.
Thank you, Your Honor.
JPJudge Pongracic
Give her a raise, Ben. You were about to walk out of here in cuffs.

I don't mind when you want to make new law, Norman, but next time I wish you'd choose a more deserving client.
PNProf. Norman Rothenberg
We can't always choose them, Ben.
So it doesn't concern you that justice won't be done?
PNProf. Norman Rothenberg
My only concern is the law. I'll leave justice to a more majestic authority.
[an elderly witness has called the police department]
Any one of you have a girlfriend in a nursing home?
That would be Lennie.
[after Danielle Keyes beats a guilty verdict on appeal] Is there ever a point where this actually stops bothering you?
[sighs] No, there really isn't.
