Bobby Donnell
- Bobby: Let me tell you what I know. I've always known you to be a judge who's about the law. Despite all the wacky stuff you've got going on, when you put that robe on you've always been a judge. A good one, a fair one. You pride yourself on that, where the HELL was your pride today? The district attorney delivered one of the most bigoted closings I've ever seen. And you didn't blink. The prejudice in this trial had been SCREAMING, and the loudest scream came in the form of that verdict. How in God's name can you let it stand?
- Judge Kittleson: For the record counsel, what you call bigotry, the district attorney calls motive. And she's free to argue that. Second, circumstantial evidence is enough to convict and the jury found that evidence to be compelling. It is not my function to substitute my judgment. And lastly, off the record, any man whose brother burns women alive, can't be all good. Now please leave.
- Bobby: Wow, I guess prejudice is cloaked in black robes sometimes too.
- [Lindsay is emotionally involved in a case, and is acting moody at the office. Earlier, Lucy overheard her confess to Bobby that she "needs more sex"]
- Jimmy Berluti: [to Bobby] Is there something I'm not getting here?
- Lucy: It's Lindsay who's not gettin' it - from Bobby.
- Bobby: LUCY!
- Bobby: What kind of fairness is this? You're putting the system before a person's life.
- Judge Hiller: Damn right I am. That's why I wear the robe.
- Bobby: Lindsay, I've only had two dreams my whole life. One was to pitch for the Red Sox, the other was to meet and marry the greatest woman in the whole world... one for two isn't bad...
- [touching her cheek]
- Bobby: Now if I could just get you to take a little medication for your mood swings...
- Lindsay: [bending his finger backwards, grinning] Is that so?
- Bobby: Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay! Uncle!
- Lindsay: Don't 'here we go' me! If you 'here we go' me, one more time...
- Bobby: Listen to yourself.
- Lindsay: Oh, and I hate that one, too - "listen to yourself". "Here we go" and "listen to yourself". If you say those things, in our marriage, I will scream. Okay? Do you hear me? You know, it's good to know these things before we become husband and wife. This is very, very, healthy.
- Jimmy Berluti: I've spent my whole life thinking I'm not good enough.
- Bobby Donnell: If we lose, you'll at least know your whole life, you've been right.
- Bobby Donnell: [about Ellenor testifying on behalf of the firm] We'll look bad if we hide things. Let's just be upfront about everything.
- Ellenor: That's easy for you to say - it's not your personal life
- Lucy: Who has a personal life?
- Bobby Donnell, Ellenor: [shout] Lucy!
