Helen quotes from The Practice

Helen

Bobby, this doesn't have to affect you and me. It's a trial. But the only way it's not going to affect us is to admit right now and be clear about it. In this room we're enemies.

Helen

Rumor has it that Bobby and this woman got something going.

Lindsay

Yeah, I started it. I know how gossip distracts you.

Helen

You still like him, Lindsay?

Lindsay

Just eat your sandwich, Helen.

Helen

You should ask him out, for his sake. This woman is trouble.

What's your comment, Helen?

Helen

I never have any comment, why would I have one today?

Miss Gamble, how do you think she was capable of 5 shots?

Helen

I don't. I think it was suicide. He shot himself 5 times. I'm just prosecuting her because I don't like her outfit.

Helen

Look, the witness has no relevant testimony which goes to the issue. I ask you to rule here not from your heart, but your head, I'd even settle for your bladder.

Cute.

For you to equate what I did to a shooting homicide sickens me.

Helen

Well if you're sick, please don't go to a doctor whose quick with the morphine.

Bobby

You know, you're putting yourself in a soup being seen with me.

Helen

I like soup. The hotter, the better.

Bobby

I'll try to remember that.

Bobby

I'm not sure it's a smart idea making it about race. Wellesley, all white jury.

Helen

I think it's a perfect jury to make it about race. Rich, affluent, white town. These are the people that are desperate to reach out to minorities, so long as they don't have to meet one.

Helen

[about Sam] You want me to arrest him?

Bobby

Yeah.

Helen

To give his life meaning?

Bobby

Yes.

Helen

It's not exactly what we do here, Bobby.

Bobby

Yes, I know. I was just hoping...

Helen

Do you know how many cases I have... with real criminals?

Bobby

You know how many clients I have, real criminals?

So, the defendant knew about the raid.

Helen

I'd answer, but the defense is about to object.

Helen

The day I stop winning my cases, I'm gone.

Bobby

Because of me.

Helen

Because of you.

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.
