Blair Underwood: Jonathan Rollins

Quotes 

  • Jonathan Rollins : Mr. Baker, there's a-- a mural on 4th Street that has the likeness of Louis Farrakhan.

    Richard Baker : That mural was not part of our program.

    Jonathan Rollins : Yes, but nevertheless, a picture of Mr. Farrakhan might offend some of your Jewish citizens.

    Richard Baker : We want art to contribute to the community, not to disrupt and destroy.

    Jonathan Rollins : And the connoisseurs at city hall will tell us which art contributes and which does not?

    Leslie Cromarty : Objection, Your Honor, argumentative.

    Judge Olga Wishburn : Sustained. Anything further?

    Jonathan Rollins : No, no.

    Judge Olga Wishburn : Counsel.

    [Two attorneys approach the sidebar] 

    Judge Olga Wishburn : I have chosen to make this a closed hearing. However, I was unable to clear more court time until 9:00 tomorrow. Until then, in light of the rowdy crowds which continue gathering outside Mr. Ajamian's building, I urge you to meet in private. Try reaching an accord that's acceptable on all sides before it's too late and there's real trouble. We're adjourned.

    [Two attorneys step back. And Mr. Ajamian looks on] 

  • Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Times a wasting, colleagues.

    [Douglas open the time on his pocket watch] 

    Douglas Brackman, Jr. : There's much to be discussed. Let's get started. First up, People vs. Emory Lewis and Gary Stubbs

    Ann Kelsey : I'm assisting Tommy Mullaney in prosecuting Stuart's attackers.

    [Stuart finds out what happened] 

    Stuart Markowitz : What? What's going on here?

    Gwen Taylor : [laughing]  Why is this table so sticky?

    Leland McKenzie : Something seems to have affected this finish.

    Jonathan Rollins : Real bargain on the cleaning crew, Douglas.

    Melina Paros : Holy cow.

    [Sticky] 

    Daniel Morales : What a mess.

  • Douglas Brackman, Jr. : City of Santa Monica joined by the NAACP as amicus vs. Alan Ajamian.

    Jonathan Rollins : Judge Wishburn-- Is hearing the city's emergency application to remove a statue of Martin Luther King from Mr. Ajamian's building.

    Stuart Markowitz : Yeah, I saw a picture of that statue. It was, uh, a little too reminiscent of a lawn jockey for my taste. Why are you defending him?

    Jonathan Rollins : The right to expression should be at the heart of any free society.

    Melina Paros : Wait, so you don't think he's perpetuating a racist stereotype?

    Jonathan Rollins : I find the statue offensive.

    Ann Kelsey : You won't feel like a token black defending...

    Leland McKenzie : I-- I have to interrupt. Alan Ajamian is a long time client. When this controversy arose, Jonathan approached me about this case feeling strongly that he was the only attorney at this for who could walk into court and bot to be called racist.

    Ann Kelsey : I wouldn't have any problem...

    Leland McKenzie : Now, now, now. I admire Jonathan's ability to put aside all personal conflicts in pursuit of the greater good.

    Douglas Brackman, Jr. : If no one has anything to add, this meeting's adjourned.

    [His pocket watch is stuck on the table] 

    Douglas Brackman, Jr. : This table is finished.
