- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: I don't think this has to do with Ben. It has to do with me. I had a prior working relationship with Thayer.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: Oh, really? Doing what?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: I was his clerk.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: And? And what's the problem, Miss Kincaid?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: I had an affair with him.
- D.A. Adam Schiff: Well that's just dandy.
- Ben Stone: You... you had an affair? Why the hell didn't you tell me this?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: I told you to take me off the case.
- Ben Stone: I would have, if I'd known this!
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: I'd hoped there was some part of my personal life I could keep personal.
- Ben Stone: Oh, great!
- Ben Stone: [a former judge has pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and is elocuting his guilt. Stone's lost his patience] Your honor, this is insufficient. The defendant is behaving as if someone else committed this crime...
- Arthur Gold: You want him on his knees, Ben?
- Judge Joel Thayer: Walter...
- Judge Walter Schreiber: *Judge Schreiber*, to you. Now, I've heard all the dodging and weaving I can take on this one. You wore the same robes I do- you know the drill. Now, if you want to dance, you can come back and dance at a trial, so let's hear it. *All* of it.
- Judge Joel Thayer: [takes a deep breath and begins] In an effort to convince Janet Rudman of my love... of the sincerity of that love...
- Ben Stone: [not letting him drift this time] Judge Thayer, please answer the question. Did you threaten Molly Rudman?
- Judge Walter Schreiber: [Thayer is silent. Gold, his lawyer, looks slightly panicked. And Schreiber has had it] *I require an answer.*
- Ben Stone: Judge Thayer- sir, for the last time- for the *very* last time- did you threaten Janet Rudman's child?
- Judge Joel Thayer: Yes.
- Art Diamond: Until we have a deal in place, my client doesn't recognize his own mother.
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: Then let's just send him back to the bed-and-breakfast to serve out his open cases.
- John Blanchard: Wait a minute. I'm here to cooperate. If I can ID this guy, I will.
- Art Diamond: Shut up. What's in it for Mr. Blanchard?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: A walk, when he picks the right face out of the array.
- John Blanchard: What if I don't?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: It's worth your while to try.
- John Blanchard: [Studies photo array, points to Thayer's picture] That's him, I think.
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: No deals for maybes.
- John Blanchard: It's him. That's the guy. You guys did real good. That's him.
- Art Diamond: [Holding photo array] This is a joke, right? What's Thayer's picture even doing here?
- A.D.A. Claire Kincaid: Just be absolutely certain, Mr. Blanchard.
- John Blanchard: It's him.
- Judge Joel Thayer: [Voiceover in a video of his mistresses's child] She could be taken sooooo easily
