Endurance

Jack: "She did spend the last 12 years taking care of this kid."
Nora: "Well, that's what she's supposed to do."

Jack: "We still have to expect them to use her son's condition to cultivate sympathy for the defendant."
Nora: "Then you use it to cultivate sympathy for her son. Is taking the life of a person with disabilities any less of a crime than taking the life of a person without them?"

Jack: "The fact is, she went to this emergency room doctor that week, she was confronted by the hopelessness of her son's condition and she reacted."
Nora: "Is that a legal opinion or an emotional response?"

"Well, what do you think [is a suitable punishment]? Marshall of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?"

Jack: "What channel?"
Nora: "Two, four, five, seven, nine."

Thin Ice

(on the tape of a game): "Not exactly a cover photo for Parent Magazine."

Sunday in the Park with Jorge

Donny: "What I need to report back is that you're all absolutely convinced that you've got the right guy,"
Nora: "We wouldn't be prosecuting his if we weren't."

Teenage Wasteland

"No, I'm not going to kill a white kid just to prove I'm politically correct."

Nora: "What should be the standard to take the life of a teenager?"
Abbie: "Where I come from, it's when what a person's done is so vicious, so cruel, he forfeits the right to get any older."
Nora: "Where I come from, a person can't forfeit that right. We can only take it from him."

"With any luck, we'll be able to strap him to a gurney before he's 21."

Phobia

"Why do you always believe in the worst in people, Jack?"

"I like to think I can do this job without becoming a cynic."

Karlin: "I try to enforce the law. You try to compromise it."
Lewin: "It's called prosecutorial discretion."

"It'll make a great sound bite someday."

"Until someone else is sitting in this chair, I'll continue to do what I think is right."
