- Raymond Holtz: I mean, you just have to question a system that would even entertain the possibility of letting a brutal killer like this go free only after 8 years. What's happening here...
- Brian LaPorte: What the hell is he doing?
- A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney: Flexing his civil rights.
- Raymond Holtz: ...protecting criminal's rights over those of his victims.
- Brian LaPorte: Holtz can't do this, Tommy, for God's sakes, he's right outside the jury room.
- Raymond Holtz: Why should David Orcott get a second chance? Our daughter should sure as hell won't get a second chance. And don't let David Orcott go free is to let him get away with murder. You all know that!
- Tom Ostrow: You've violated our trust.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I deserve a chance.
- Jay Berg: I don't want to be curt. But give me that vile.
- Tom Ostrow: Jay. Maybe we should try looking this with the new heart.
- Jay Berg: It's the fair moon talking, Tom.
- Tom Ostrow: Please.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I made a mistake. Curiosity got the better of this cat.
- Jay Berg: Stop making excuses.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I'm simply trying... trying to protect Ms. Kelsey. You see she's been having problems with her husband.
- Ann Kelsey: Douglas, this is the lowest you have ever sunk. How dare you! Gentleman, perhaps it would be in your interest if you're represented by another firm.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Ann!
- Jay Berg: You can take that to the bank because we're taking him to the cleaners.
- Tom Ostrow: We're suing for... What are we suing for?
- Ann Kelsey: Embezzlement. Breach of fiduciary duties. Ethics charges.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Quit being so damn helpful.
- Jay Berg: Thank you. You're fired.
- [Two clients Tom and Jay are leaving, but Douglas wants them to wait and have some explanation]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Gentlemen. Gentleman. If there's anything else we can do here at McKenzie, Brackman.
- Tom Ostrow: You've done too much already.
- [Douglas find out who is that man, accompanied by Daniel Morales]
- Daniel Morales: Dennis Smith, this is Douglas Brackman, our Managing Partner. Dennis was an expert witness on the Graney case.
- [Dennis shaking hands and met Douglas]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Oh, isn't that nice? Tom, Jay, are you sure there isn't something?
- Jay Berg: Oh, no.
- Tom Ostrow: Leave us alone.
- [Dennis is smelling with his nose]
- Dennis Smith: Doug. So, uh, what's your sign?
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Excuse me?
- Dennis Smith: And the Dennis like you doesn't need any excuse.
- [Dennis trying to kiss Douglas, Tom and Jay find out what. But Douglas wants Dennis to get away not to be kissed of. Douglas wipe off his lips]
- Daniel Morales: Douglas...
- [Douglas confronts and punching Dennis Smith in the face, and have Dennis hit and fall to the ground. Daniel will pick Dennis up. Douglas' fist is not hurt]
- Sheila Brackman: Sweetheart, are you hurt?
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Of course not.
- Dennis Smith: I'm bleeding!
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I'm all man.
- Dennis Smith: You son of a bitch!
- [Dennis' nose is bleeding]
- Dennis Smith: My nose! You probably put me out of business!
- Daniel Morales: Get some ice on it.
- Dennis Smith: I'm gonna sue you!
- Daniel Morales: Come on.
- [Daniel is taking Dennis away]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: One more today. It'll be a hat trick.
- Dennis Smith: I'll see you in court!
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I look forward to it.
- [Telephone rings, and Sheila is wiping Douglas' mouth with a tissue because of Dennis kissing]
- Brian LaPorte: My client can no longer possibly get a fair hearing. Mr. Holtz made inflammatory statements...
- A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney: Mr. Holtz has a right to free speech.
- Brian LaPorte: Move for a mistrial.
- A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney: What?
- Judge Donald Phillips: Denied.
- Brian LaPorte: Mr. Holtz has maligned my client in the press daily. He seems intent on creating an atmosphere for a lynch mob. At the very least, I request a gag be imposed.
- A.D.A. Tommy Mullaney: This is ridiculous, he's a non party.
- Judge Donald Phillips: He's right, Mr. LaPorte. I have no authority to impose a gag. The jury has been admonished to avoid press coverage of the trial.
- Raymond Holtz: Your Honor, may I say something?
- Judge Donald Phillips: No. You may listen. I can't prevent you from speaking to reporters, but I can damn well keep you from doing so inside this courthouse.
- Raymond Holtz: You yourself said I had a first amendment right.
- Judge Donald Phillips: Which is outweighed by Mr. Orcott's right to a fair trial. If you want to be heard, you do it off county property, because if you pull a stunt like this again, you can expect to spend the night in jail.
- Roxanne Melman: You want some ice cream?
- Stuart Markowitz: I don't usually eat sweets in the afternoon. Sugar highs, sugar lows, less calories.
- Roxanne Melman: This isn't a life choice.
- Stuart Markowitz: Ice cream will be nice.
- [Stuart will sit down and open the lid of ice cream]
- Roxanne Melman: Stuart. Is something wrong?
- Stuart Markowitz: What? Just seem like a joke?
- Roxanne Melman: No. No, it's just that, ever since you made the turn on your recovery, you seemed, well...
- Stuart Markowitz: Unhappy.
- Roxanne Melman: Uh-huh.
- Stuart Markowitz: Yeah. Uh, uh, even though I feel better. Um... I felt better.
- Roxanne Melman: I'm not sure what you mean exactly.
- Stuart Markowitz: I'm - I'm thinking more. Not so much introspective. Just, uh, unwilling to take things for granted, curious about the way things work, you know. Like, uh, why's an electricity always there? Or - or - or, gravity. How come we don't just goofs spitting off the planet? That's how crazy.
- Roxanne Melman: Uh-uh.
- Stuart Markowitz: Good.
- [They now eating ice cream with chocolate fudge sundaes. But Stuart pours some Chocolate syrup in his mouth. Taste delicious]
- Stuart Markowitz: Excellent.
- Roxanne Melman: [laughing] Instant chocolate sundae.
- Stuart Markowitz: Ann would kill me, if I had a Hershey's squirt at home.
- Roxanne Melman: Ann would kill you, she saw you doing it here, too.
