Executive ADA Ben Stone
- Adam Schiff: Young people get impatient with old people. Especially cantankerous ones.
- Ben Stone: Oh yeah? Speaking from personal experience?
- Adam Schiff: I'm a sweetheart. And I'm middle aged.
- Danielle Melnick: [to a witness] You were scheduled to be deported, were you not? But in exchange for your testimony...
- Ben Stone: Objection! That's a lie!
- Judge Margaret Barry: Approach.
- [They do]
- Judge Margaret Barry: All questions of fact will be for the jury to decide, Mister Stone.
- Ben Stone: If I'm slandered, Your Honor, I have to defend myself.
- Judge Margaret Barry: Ms. Melnick, any remarks which further provoke Mr. Stone will also provoke me - and you will regret it.
- Adam Schiff: You and the girl's lawyer want to pressure her into pleading to a lesser charge that she might *not* be guilty of so she won't be convicted of a more serious charge that she *might* be guilty of? Does that make sense?
- Ben Stone: With our system and imperfect knowledge? Yes.
