Judge Cuesta quotes from The Good Wife

So, our State's Attorney, in his radiant wisdom, has decided to withdraw the charges against you client and pursue a case against Mrs. Lewis's brother. Isn't that right, Mr. Brody?

All I need is a 'yes' or 'no'.

Mrs. Florrick? The wife of the esteemed Peter Florrick? Your husband and I never quite saw eye to eye, ma'am.

Alicia

Your Honor, I...

Mrs. Florrick, don't talk. But if the prosecution thinks that this will in some way prejudice me against your client, he is sorely mistaken. Nice try, Matan.

Alicia

...but it isn't true--

Matan

Objection.

Sustained. Keep trying, Mrs. Florrick. You'll hit on it.

Matan

Objection.

On what grounds?

Matan

On the grounds that... relevance?

Well, lets us see how relevant this becomes, shall we?

Matan

Your honor, come on, this whole line of questioning is a smokescreen.

Mr. Brody, why don't we wait for a whiff of smoke before we call it a screen, please? I'll allow.

Matan

Objection. Not in evidence.

Sustained. And you might want to stay standing, Mr. Brody. I have a feeling we're nearing your smoke screen.
