Quotes8

  • Christine Sullivan: Mr. Phelps, why are you doing this?
  • Cyril Phelps: Because, uh, I'm thirty-eight years old...
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: [pouring a glass of champagne] Well, so am I!
  • Cyril Phelps: And I'm a virgin.
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: [lifts the glass] Happy landings.
  • [Dan's assignation with Christine is interrupted by a jumper on the balcony]
  • Christine Sullivan: What are you doing out there?
  • Cyril Phelps: Isn't it obvious? I'm plunging to my death!
  • Christine Sullivan: You can't do that!
  • Cyril Phelps: Why?
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: Yeah, why?
  • Christine Sullivan: Dan, you saved my life.
  • Harry Stone: Miss Sullivan, he felt you up.
  • Christine Sullivan: Dan, how can I possibly repay you?
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: [Initially laughs it off, until...] Sleep with me.
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: Listen, Dan is just using this as an excuse to hit on you.
  • Christine Sullivan: I know that! But he saved my life, Your Honor, he rescued me...
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: [dramatically] From the jaws of death moments before an agonizing demise!
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: [taps Christine on the shoulder] Miss Sullivan...
  • Christine Sullivan: [jumps] Agh, don't touch me!
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: [to the crowd] We're trying to get her to switch to decaf.
  • Christine Sullivan: I'm sorry, Your Honor, I'm a little bit on edge.
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: No, no, no. Lizzie Borden was a little bit on edge. You are downright freaked.
  • Christine Sullivan: Dan, I can't sleep with you!
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: I understand. There's no reason you should feel obligated.
  • Christine Sullivan: There isn't?
  • Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding: No, of course not. I mean, after all, what did I do but... grab you from the jaws of death, moments before an agonizing demise?
  • Christine Sullivan: In conclusion, Your Honor, I would like to state that even though my client has pleaded guilty... uh... we would like to, uh... request a suspended sentence due to the circumstances... Your Honor! May I request that the prosecutor refrain from ogling me during my closing statements?
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: Sustained. Does the prosecutor have anything pertinent to add?
  • [Dan lets out a lascivious growl]
  • Judge Harry T. Stone: Let the record show the prosecution exhaled wantonly.
  • Christine Sullivan: You thought I wasn't old enough to make my own decisions, didn't you? You all thought I needed to be condescended to and chaperoned like a teenage girl, didn't you?
  • Court Clerk MacIntosh 'Mac' Robinson, Judge Harry T. Stone, Rosalind 'Roz' Russell, Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon: Yes.
