Season Four Season Four

Sweeps

"I'd wear clown makeup if I thought it'd get me a conviction."

"You have a camera. I have Attica."

"I'm a Catholic, I can feel guilty about anything, but I bet my conscience is easier to live with than yours."

Adam: "Who said all cases are made by prepping the witnesses?"
Ben: "You did, I think -- about 400 times."

"Five hundred cable channels coming. He could start the prison channel."

Volunteers

"There's a long road between coherence and competence."

"The law says that you can use physical force to prevent your property from being stolen. It does not say you can murder a man because the state won't do anything about him."

Stone: "That's not the public's greatest fear."
Kincaid: "What is?"
Stone: "That Roland Kirk will move into their neighborhood."

Discord

"Mr. C Square, sir. . ."

"I remember one assistant. He stapled an internal memo to a document that we sent to defense counsel. That case was lost. I thought it was a career-ender, but they gave me another chance."

Profile

"Oh, no, Horace. We wouldn't think of having a trial without inviting you."

Black Tie

"These people never heard of exercise?"

"Norman, I don't mind when you want to expand the law. I just wish when you do it, you'd pick a more deserving client."

"If there is a double standard, we should eliminate it, not by lowering the justice available to the wealthy, but by raising the quality of justice for everyone."

Pride and Joy

"The jury could give him a college going-away party."

"That much anger doesn't go away with a B.A. Not even from Princeton."

Apocrypha

"'Inappropriate' is using the wrong fork for a salad."

"I have to go to court and play the head Pharisee."

"I bet he passed the collection plate twice."

"To the contrary, sir, we will not only survive, we will endure."

"'Beware of the false prophet.' In the last century, he rode on a horse-drawn wagon and he sold snake oil. In the '70s, he carried a briefcase and a calculator and sold real estate in Florida. But Mr. Hendricks, he doesn't sell snake oil or real estate. He sells death and he sells destruction. He doesn't call it that. He bottles it as the apocalypse and Wendy Berman bought it. The perfect victim for a charlatan, a con man, a grifter. And it's interesting that he chose to camouflage his scam in religion. That's the genius of it, see. If you proclaim from the prophet and quote from the good book, it is an almost inescapable trap for the innocent and the vulnerable. And Wendy Berman came to that with her need and Mr. Hendricks gave her the hope. But the hope he gave her was a ruse to get her to do what he wanted to her, which was murder. But in the end, it was Wendy Berman who was killed."

"Thumbtacks in his palms? At least he didn't try walking on water."

"I sold the jury a bit of my own snake oil."

American Dream

"They say you don't really understand the law until you spend a couple of years behind bars."

Swann: "Do you routinely lack a sense of humor?"
Stone: "About murder, I have none, sir."

"The man is guilty and the jury is lining up to shake his hand."

"I can live without this job, sir. There are some things I cannot love without."

"If a man who lies can go pro se and win and a man who tells the truth can't, then I don't want to be in this anymore."

"Puts my life on the dissecting table and then drools over it."

"In polite society, sir, you don't call people by their first name unless they ask you to. I didn't do that. You're not a friend, and you're certainly not a colleague."

Born Bad

The Pursuit of Happiness

"You better brush up on your dumb act. You almost lost a career back there."

"A Chinese guy could blow you away and get off scot-free because of cross-racial identification. That's the most comforting thought I've had all day."

"She came for the American dream, waited all her life for it. Maybe she'll wait for him."

Golden Years

"Starvation is a natural cause in Somalia. In New York City, it's murder two!"

Snatched

Defense attorney: "Suppose my clients told you there was a third party, someone who planned this scheme. What kind of a deal would you make?"
Stone: "Suppose they recited the Iliad?"

"You are possibly the stupidest criminal I've ever met."

"Let's hope justice is blind."

Breeder

"The law is supposed to be a shield, Adam, not a sword."

"If your client is looking for absolution, he came to the wrong building."

"Stupid here is going to prison for you."

"How much character does it take to auction off your child?"

Sanctuary

"So you're guilty until a percentage of the population threatens violence?"

"Shambala Green -- Queen of the specious motion."

"'I'm responsible for my actions, not my television set and not the color of my skin.' And if it makes you feel good to call me a racist, fine. But if you're really looking for who's responsible for racism these days, take a look in the mirror."

Nurture

Doubles

"We get the only judge who actually reads Supreme Court vitrola."

Old Friends
