Ellenor Frutt quotes from The Practice

Ellenor

What exactly do you think our reputation is here, Bobby? I mean, who are you kidding? We are "reasonable doubt for a reasonable fee". We are a bottom-feeding-do-whatever-you-can-to-get-your-client-off law firm. That is exactly what we are. And what Lindsay and I did may not have been ethical, it was completely in the spirit and the tradition of Bobby Donnell.

Ellenor

This is the firm that took the tobacco industry for one, seven. You have been underestimating us from the start, Mr. West. Are you sure you want to keep doing that?

You lied to me. You told me you weren't beautiful.

Ellenor

Oh, well, you know lawyers. We're taught to conceal the facts.

Ellenor

Oh my God...is he dead?

No, he's faking it for the attention. As you can see I'm in need of some legal advice.

Ellenor

Joey, what ha--

Yes, all right, I know... this time I've gone too far. I'd be confessing to my priest right now if I wasn't such a bad Jew.

Ellenor

You know what, I'm going to need a little time alone with my client. Do you mind?

That's fine.

Ellenor

[To Blumenfeld] And I apologize, because I know this now means you have to be alone with yours.

Thank you.

You know what, Ellenor? Probably the only long-term sexual relationship you've ever had has been with your left hand. It was a mistake to come here. Goodbye.

Ellenor

Myra?

Yes?

Ellenor

Never insult the left!

Jimmy

Ellenor, tell them this is something that's done. Lawyers can't be too proud these days.

Ellenor

I don't believe in lawyers advertising, Jimmy.

Jimmy

You advertised for a date.

Ellenor

Yeah, well, I don't believe in that anymore, either.

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.

One judge says no jail, then another judge say I gotta go on trial...again?

Ellenor

Let's not panic just yet, okay, Warren?

Ellenor, I used to scam banks back when. This is my reward for scaling down?

Ellenor

Okay, well, you see, that argument is not gonna fly.

Rebecca

You have a gun?

Ellenor

It's just a starter pistol.

Lindsay

What are you gonna do, race him?

Ellenor

[to Jimmy, about the rat running in their office] Why don't you do something, big head?

Jimmy

It's normal size!
