Quotes

• Bobby Donnell: How the hell could you say that?

Lindsay Dole: It's all circumstantial. We can make reasonable...

Bobby Donnell: Lindsay, he said he never met a victim. Now they have a photograph of the two of them together.

Lindsay Dole: That was a coincidence. They were both attending...

Bobby Donnell: A coincidence?

Lindsay Dole: Or she went to check him out, but they never met.

Ellenor Frutt: Come on, Lindsay, this guy is dead in the water.

Bobby Donnell: He was open to taking manslaughter.

Lindsay Dole: He was browbeaten into considering manslaughter.

Bobby Donnell: I don't care. Any way he gets there, he should be jumping at it.

Lindsay Dole: (Angrily) Don't be jumping on me!

Bobby Donnell: It's practically malpractice...

Lindsay Dole: I said don't be jumping on me!

Jimmy Berluti: All right, all right.

Ellenor Frutt: Would everybody just calm down?

Bobby Donnell: 72 hours - that's how much time we have left. If we lose, he gets death, death by lethal injection. They do that here. Tell me what the hell we have to convince the jury of reasonable doubt?

Lindsay Dole: He didn't do it. I know...

Bobby Donnell: (Yelling) That isn't enough!

Lindsay Dole: Yes, it is. We get people off.

Bobby Donnell: With evidence, not...

Lindsay Dole: (Lindsay screams like a banshee) HE IS INNOCENT!

(She looks at Bobby for a second and then says again, more calmly.)

Lindsay Dole: He's innocent.

(Lucy was silent at the moment)

Jimmy Berluti: All right, look. We all got on the plane and came out here. It wasn't to get pushed around by some judge, it wasn't to get spat on by a cocky detective, and it wasn't to quit. Lindsay's right - we're fighters. We flew across country to fight for Dennis Mills, so that's what we do. 72 hours from now, the gloves come off and we do what we do. That judge, that D.A., time for them to get a taste of us.

(Bobby felt bad. And Lindsay is to be blame. And Ellenor should be ashamed of herself. Bobby will think about it. Lindsay will try harder.)
