• [first lines] 

  Kate Reed : [rushing towards late appointment]  Judge! Judge Nicastro! Sir! I am so sorry that I am late, sir. I discovered this defect in my alarm clock. It's called a snooze button.

  [chuckles, but he doesn't see the joke] 

  Kate Reed : Anyway, sir, I am so very sorry. I hate being late.

  Judge David Nicastro : But you love the chaos it creates.

  [as they walk along:] 

  Judge David Nicastro : Do you know what the most dangerous profession in the world is?

  Kate Reed : Uh, mediating cases for you?

• Judge David Nicastro : [imperious as usual]  Case file has been sent to your office. The parties will be there at 9:30 a.m.

  Kate Reed : 9:30? Sir, that's in, that's in 15 minutes.

  Judge David Nicastro : Then I suggest that you hurry. You know how you hate being late.

  Kate Reed : [flustered]  Yeah.

• Kate Reed : [to Justin's invite]  Drinks, as I recall, is how this whole thing started.

• Kate Reed : I'm really sorry, but I got to run.

  [starts rushing off] 

  Justin Patrick : [drily]  That's what you do best.

  [causing her to halt] 

  Kate Reed : [turning around and sailing into him]  And what do you do best besides cheating on your wife?

  Justin Patrick : Hey, that's not fair.

  Kate Reed : Oh, don't. Don't you tell me about fair.

  Justin Patrick : I wasn't the only one who screwed up our marriage.

  Kate Reed : [sarcastically]  Way to own up there, Justin.

  Justin Patrick : You have any idea what it was like to always be last on your to-do list? And always be getting kicked to the curb?

  Kate Reed : Oh, so it's my fault? I'm the cold bitch that made you sleep with another woman?

  Justin Patrick : That's not what I'm saying. It's not what I'm saying.

  Kate Reed : Then what are you saying?

  Justin Patrick : [flatly]  It wasn't like we were happy.

  [which floors her] 

  Kate Reed : [taking some time to recover]  Screw you.

• Kate Reed : What are you doing?

  Ben Grogan : Collaborating. I happen to have won a multi-million settlement against a popular cruise line a couple years ago. Is this a case we should be litigating?

  Kate Reed : I know it's not,

  [patronizingly:] 

  Kate Reed : because this is a case I am mediating.

  Ben Grogan : [waving a finger]  Litigation, not mediation, is what keeps the lights on around here.

  Kate Reed : Well then, go sue someone and let me do my job.

• Kate Reed : [as all squabble]  Okay, if you... if you don't actually pull fish out of the water, just shut up.

• Kate Reed : [as all squabbling renews]  Stop, stop. Please, lawyers, stop. I mean, I get that there is a liability settlement in play here, but just maybe, just maybe, these two people have something to say to each other before you start your little legal cha-cha.
