Season Five Season Five

Second Opinion

"It's five in the morning. With luck, we can arrest her before breakfast."

"There happens to be a lot of gray between the black and white lines of your precious penal code."

Jack: "This is not an issue of privacy."
Claire: "Of course not. Constitutional issues are defined by men."
Jack: "I don't think this is the time or the place for a full-blown debate about your latent feminism."
Claire: "Number one, it's not latent. Number two, since when did privacy become a feminist issue?"

"Go to the movies, read a book, open a magazine! Maybe you'll see why these women don't want to get a breast lobbed off."

Jack: "I think you're overreacting."
Claire: "Really? Is that why the wonder bra is the hottest-selling product on the market?"

Claire: "I checked."
Jack: "On what?"
Claire: "You've only had three female assistants."

Coma

Blue Bamboo

Jack (to Liz): "You want to create a new category of self-defense just for women?"

Family Values

White Rabbit

"I can't prosecute Susan Forrest because I wasn't at Woodstock?"

(to Jack): "How many cops did you kill?" QCK

"So we drop the charge and sing a duet of 'We Shall Overcome' as she leaves the courtroom?"

Competence

(Jack's up to his old tricks again): "And I'm supposed to risk my career for this?"

"Now all we have to do is hope the jury understands the difference between motive and intent."

Precious

"I heard it [mandatory sterilization] was a popular procedure in Germany 50 years ago."

Virtue

Scoundrels

Lennie: "I never realized the law was such an exciting profession."
Claire: "I get to work with you guys."

Claire: "What was that all about?"
Jack: "What was what all about?"
Claire: "Don't you know me by now?"
Jack: "Oh....Sally..."
Claire: "Yeah, Sally, Miz Bell, our opposing counsel?"

House Counsel

"Did he pay off the ref?"

Jack: "Part of the game."
Claire: "Excuse me? Last I looked, it was about justice."

"I'm sorry, I don't put in 15 hours a day just so I can flex my muscles."

Claire: "What'd I miss?"
Lennie: "Couple bottles of Chianti and the old lady's itinerary."
Claire: "Another fabulous lunch, I see."

Claire: "Your friend doesn't seem to play by the same rules."
Jack: "We're not even playing the same game anymore."
Claire: "Is that the sound of an ego being deflated?" QCK

"I don't need the Socratic attitude."

Guardian

Progeny

"You say that like he's pro-vanilla ice cream."

Rage

"So let me get this straight -- is the only way it's possible for a black man accused of killing a white man to get a fair trial is to have an all-white jury? I'll call the Senate, we need a Constitutional amendment!"

"Great. I didn't like Greer before -- now I have to feel guilty about it." QCK

Claire: "What are you teaching the boys?" QCK

Act of God

Privileged

"No offense intended, your honor, but I doubt I'd find Ms. Locklear's fingerprints on your headboard." QCK

Cruel and Unusual

(after McCoy has just discredited facilitated communication in court): "You just got a judge to tell Mrs. Vilardi she's been talking to herself for the past 5 months."

Bad Faith

"I think that was both barrels."

Purple Heart

"She killed two men -- still believes they're the bad guys."

Switch

"Two people know what he did. One's dead and the other can be dismissed as a lunatic."

"Maybe her psyche's not as fine tuned as a Ferrari."

Pride

"You were there. I wanted to punch Crossley myself."

[Scene: closing line, after "the punch"]
"Logan doesn't deserve this." QCK
