Quotes
-
Victor Sifuentes : Now, you have reviewed Emile's several times in the past. Isn't that true, Miss Landsberg?
Lorna Landsberg : Yes.
Victor Sifuentes : Why do you review a restaurant more than once?
Lorna Landsberg : Well, they change. Improvements need to be recognized... as does decline.
Victor Sifuentes : And could you summarize your most recent impressions for the court?
Lorna Landsberg : [sees the Chef sitting nearby is Andrew Emanuel] The food was disgustingly file. It wasn't an affront.
Victor Sifuentes : Hold on. I would like you to calmly tell us your specific criticisms of the food and service.
Lorna Landsberg : I actually found the service to be quite acceptable. The problem was the incompetence of the chef.
Andrew Emanuel : [stands up] I object to that!
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Order.
Andrew Emanuel : I happened to be the chef at the meals.
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : I don't care who...
Lorna Landsberg : You're the one who should be on trial!
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Quiet, please!
Andrew Emanuel : I was sous chef under Stefan de Sueza. I have worked in three-star restaurants throughout Europe!
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : I don't care who you are! You're disrupting this court. And if you don't return to your seat, I'll hold you in contempt.
Andrew Emanuel : Unbelievable!
-
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Proceed, counselor.
Victor Sifuentes : Thank you, Your Honor. It was your opinion then, ma'am, that the work of the chef was substandard?
Lorna Landsberg : As a food critic, one of the things that I look for is how the style or the personality of the chef is reflected in the culinary product. What I tasted here was a total lack of commitment. I tasted fraud. I tasted impotence.
Andrew Emanuel : [Protesting] How can you do this to me?
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Have that man removed!
Andrew Emanuel : She's lying!
Lorna Landsberg : You're completely a disgrace. It's my Constitution right to say so.
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Order!
Victor Sifuentes : Miss Landsberg...
Lorna Landsberg : You're a little toad!
Victor Sifuentes : Miss Landsberg!
Andrew Emanuel : [Caught by the bailiff] How can you do this?
Lorna Landsberg : A puny man!
Victor Sifuentes : Miss Landsberg!
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Sit down, Miss Landsberg!
Andrew Emanuel : [Removed out of the courtroom] It's not true!
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : [to Victor] I'll ask you to control your witness.
Victor Sifuentes : Your Honor, can I have a short recess to, uh, confer with the witness?
Judge Hillary Miller Johnson : Yes, you may.
