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.

S2 E5First Degree (1)
[to Bobby] Things don't happen in a vacuum, Bobby. I mean, maybe you have some inner compass that gives you clear directions, I don't really know. But if others try to take direction from you, I have no doubt but they'll be lost.
Your associates talked to a juror. They were wrong. Judge Stevens was right.
Technically.
That's the way we do things here, Bobby. Technically.
MJMary Jane
The picture's already been painted, Mr. Donnell. Do you read the papers?
Mary Jane, the newspapers have done nothing to prepare you for what you're in for once you get in that witness chair.
That's argumentative and badgering.
This is a cross examination. I would submit the doctor is being argumentative.
Let's just have a nice, civil murder trial, shall we?
FMr. Forsythe
Don't you think if we were going to do something like this we would have made sure we had an alibi?
Well, that's a good thought, Mr. Forsythe. Did you think of that before or after you killed him?
S2 E6Sex, Lies and Monkeys (2)
HMr. Holt
Oh, please, that kind of discrimination goes on all the time. The only difference here is, I admit it. Harry is a negative guy who looks like an ape. And I don't want him working for my company. There's a juror over there, I won't say which one who looks like a possum. I wouldn't hire him either.
JMJudge McGough
I'm terribly sorry, but I think it's time for another break.
I tell ya, I was nervous. I think the defendant blew it though when he called one of the jurors a possum. You can't predict how things are going to go, but insinuating that one of the jurors is a member of the rodent family is not an accepted tactic.
PPapp
Is it a good sign that they came back this quick?
It's a very good sign if we win, but not if we lose.
PPapp
That was helpful.
Objection! That's a legal conclusion.
JMJudge McGough
No, it isn't. But I'll sustain the objection anyway.
On what grounds?
JMJudge McGough
I just ruled in your favor, counsel.
I know myself, Rebecca. I'm not capable of good sex.
S2 E7Search and Seizure
You said she was a good person.
She is. But, but that doesn't mean you should sleep with her.
I'm not gonna sleep with her! I'm just gonna put on a Simba mask and go to a party.
And don't think for a second she won't be Nala.
Excuse me?
You know, you're putting yourself in a soup being seen with me.
I like soup. The hotter, the better.
I'll try to remember that.
[To Lindsay] Anyway, uh, I'm between relationships. And, uh, just as friends, nothing more, I thought you might want to go [to the Halloween party]. [whispers] I promise not to dream about it after.
S2 E8The Means
Eugene, you claim I don't understand. I'll accept that, I will. I don't understand what it's like to be subjected...over and over and over again. I'll accept I'll never get that. But you know a man did die here, and the "I've had it" theory as a defense to manslaughter, I'll never understand that either.
Just a legal strategy. You got yours and...I got mine.
Yeah. But yours came from the heart.
