Quotes
-
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : The point was *not* to take Allan Burns to trial.
Will Girardi : The point is to figure out what really happened that evening.
-
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : I do not want to lay charges against this man.
Will Girardi : I agree.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : Middle of the night, this hard-working, solid citizen is in bed with the wife - his own wife - with his children asleep down the hallway.
Will Girardi : It's the D.A.'s decision whether or not to lay charges. Frankly, I'd be happy if you didn't.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : He hears glass break downstairs. He fetches his properly licensed and registered weapon from the gun safe and loads it with ammunition he keeps in a separate locked box. He surprises an armed intruder.
Will Girardi : Shots are exchanged. The good guy is left standing, the bad guy dies, and choirs of angels sing in joy. What do you want from me?
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : I want you to say he's a hero, that this is not a murder case.
Will Girardi : He is a hero.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : I want you to say it to the press. Leave figure skaters out of it.
Will Girardi : That would not be smart.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : Leaving out figure skaters?
Will Girardi : A police chief should not comment on the relative guilt or innocence of a suspect before the investigation is complete.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : So complete the investigation and then tell the press he's a hero.
Will Girardi : That is my plan.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : You're not fighting me on this?
Will Girardi : No. We're in complete agreement.
D.A. Gabe Fellowes : I find that disconcerting.
