Lindsay Dole quotes from The Practice

Bobby

[about Helen] You told her?

Lindsay

Bobby, she asked me flat out. I had to.

Bobby

What was her reaction?

Lindsay

She's okay with it. Yeah, it happened before her. She's a big girl but stop sucking her elbows.

Lindsay

I've been thinking about your little accusation.

Bobby

Ahh, I'm sorry about that.

Lindsay

I didn't tell her about us with any motive to break you up and I do think you make a great couple. But, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss you.

Ellenor

We either accept manslaughter, or we go for it. What do you think?

Lindsay

[sighs] Flip?

Ellenor

Right. Heads, manslaughter. Tails, we go for it. [Ellenor flips the quarter in the air] Tails. It was an accident. We go for it.

Lindsay

This is why we get paid. To make these decisions.

Lindsay

Are you really ready to throw someone you love away for a case?

Bobby

Yes. I got this case because somebody at a high-rise blue chip law firm recommended me. As the best. I've been practicing law in that rat hole for ten years, looking out the window, seeing those lawyers look down on me. And now one of them came into my office and said I'm the best. I like how I got this case, Lindsay. I like that I'm gonna try it in the media and that I'm gonna get paid a lot to do it and I'm gonna win it. [with glistening eyes] I'm gonna win it.

No she wasn't ranting. She was calm and collected and she very clearly said that it was that man who was threatening her.

Eugene

So. She was calm and collected.

Yes.

Lindsay

Your honor, at this time we now move to strike the hearsay testimony of the witness. The excited utterance exception no longer applies.

Helen

Sidebar.

I'm afraid not.

Rebecca

You have a gun?

Ellenor

It's just a starter pistol.

Lindsay

What are you gonna do, race him?

Bobby

If that's the way you feel, why do you stay?

Lindsay

Because my best friends work here. I don't wanna leave. And I'm in love with you. [Bobby looks up at her in utter surprise] I say that with no hope of you loving me back - I don't even think I want it. But I don't know, I mean, maybe as a result of my loving you I also see you, and I know with you in charge and only you in charge, this firm is maxed out. And you might be, too.

Bobby

Here we go!

Lindsay

Don't “here we go” me! If you “here we go” me one more time I am going to scream, okay? Do you hear me?

Bobby

Listen to yourself!

Lindsay

Ooh, and I hate that one too. Listen to yourself. “Here we go” and “Listen to yourself”. If you ever say those in our marriage, I will scream!! Okay? It's good to know these things before we become husband and wife. You know, this is very, very healthy!

[to Bobby, smiling]Well. It's nice to know you can make her scream.

Bobby

Lindsay, I’ve only had two dreams my whole life. One was to pitch for the Red Sox, the other was to meet and marry the most wonderful woman in the whole world. One for two isn’t bad. Now, if I could just get you to take a little medication for your mood swings... [touches her face]

Lindsay

Is that so? [bends his finger backwards]

Bobby

Ow, ow, oh, okay, okay. Uncle!
