Quotes

Ben Grogan : There is a woman in reception I would rather avoid.
Leonardo Prince : [sees young and attractive female] Looks like a real man-eater.
Ben Grogan : She's different when things end badly.
Kate Reed : [coming up, curious] What ends badly?
-
Beth Shepperd : [in Ben's office, admiring his antique knight's helmet] You've done well for yourself.
Ben Grogan : You too. Representing rich old ladies.
Beth Shepperd : Hmm.
[scoffs]
Beth Shepperd : Used to be your bread and butter. You can take the boy out of ambulance chasing...
Ben Grogan : I need a favor.
Beth Shepperd : You seeing anybody? The mediator's pretty when she's not talking.
Ben Grogan : Hold off on the settlement, Beth.
Beth Shepperd : What's in it for me, Benny?
Ben Grogan : What do you want?
Beth Shepperd : Let's have dinner.
Ben Grogan : No.
Beth Shepperd : You obviously didn't have much respect for me. I think that's why we broke up.
Ben Grogan : Really? I thought it was 'cause you're a basket full of crazy.
Beth Shepperd : It was a cute crazy... before I met you. I need closure, Benny. I need you to explain to me why it was okay to break my heart... and then evaporate. I'm thinking maybe somewhere that serves a soufflé.
Ben Grogan : Coffee... someday.
Beth Shepperd : [insisting] How about today?
-
Beth Shepperd : If she runs, I win. Maybe it is that simple.
Ben Grogan : Winning is not everything.

Beth Shepperd : I'm just sorry it wasn't me.

Kate Reed : She won't come in without a deal.
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Let me explain something to you. You have no leverage here. You don't bring her back to me, I'll put you in jail.
Kate Reed : Go ahead. I don't know where she is.
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Right. Right. Okay, I guess I could just let the press know that A.D A. Patrick here
[patting him on the shoulder]
D.A. Aaron Davidson : was conspiring with his ex-wife to cut a deal with a known terrorist.
Kate Reed : Ugh, oh, come on, she's not a terrorist.
D.A. Aaron Davidson : She will be when I say she is. You see, people don't think like you do. They think like me. You got in touch with her once... you can do it again.
[Kate looks at Justin for help]
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Oh, don't look at him, he can't help you out. Tell her.
Justin Patrick : You were harboring a fugitive, Kate.
Kate Reed : I was representing a fugitive!
Justin Patrick : No,
[regarding Ben:]
Justin Patrick : he was representing a fugitive. You were an accessory after the fact.
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Which makes you subject to the same penalties as Christie's original crime.
Ben Grogan : Then charge her! See if that sticks!
Justin Patrick : [with a heavy heart] If you don't tell us where she is, I will charge you. And believe me, it will stick.
[Kate bites her lip worriedly]
Kate Reed : She's not coming in. She's as good as gone!
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Well, that's why we'll have to tell her the original plea is back on the table.
Kate Reed : You can't offer a bogus deal.
D.A. Aaron Davidson : No. But you can.
[hands her the phone]
D.A. Aaron Davidson : Make the call.
Justin Patrick : Excuse me, I have another call.
[leaves]
Kate Reed : Oh, nice, Justin!
