    • Quotes

      Alan Shore: I can't deny this one scared me, Denny. As illegal as her actions were, I would have been devastated had she gone to jail.

      Denny Crane: And yet, as justified as you say she was, you're telling me you're still against the death penalty?

      Alan Shore: Absolutely.

      Denny Crane: Doesn't make any sense.

      Alan Shore: Makes perfect sense.

      Denny Crane: It's okay for her to execute him, but if the government does it for her...

      Alan Shore: - That would be wrong.

      Denny Crane: Leave it to you liberals to come up with research that says it's okay to be for revenge, and against the death penalty.

      Alan Shore: It's a lot like being for the death penalty, and yet, pro-life.

      Denny Crane: You wanna go there? I can go there.

      Alan Shore: You started it.

      Denny Crane: I didn't start it. I'm just saying that you are a hypocrite.

      Alan Shore: [laughs] No I'm not.

      Denny Crane: Yes, you are! You come up with these studies - and another thing about you Democrats, you all believe in science!

      Alan Shore: You should remember that little gem for your testimony.

      Denny Crane: I will. Don't you worry.

      [sighs]

      Denny Crane: Would you defend me? Since I'm a witness, I'll need a lawyer to defend me, would you defend me?

      Alan Shore: I'll defend you Denny.

      Denny Crane: Thank you.
