QUOTES

  • Maggie: You're an object of ridicule, a professional pariah, reduced to barely practicing law.
    Eli: Thank you, I feel better.
    Maggie: You're sucking up to God. There are better ways.
    Eli: Yeah, well, God and I enjoy a pretty complicated relationship. At least now I'm starting to believe in what He wants me to do. (pauses) It's like I see things now, you know. Things that were always there but that I just never noticed before.
    Maggie: Like people who need help? edit »
  • Maggie: My suggestion: go find another peon to pee on. edit »
  • Jordan: Flattery and judicious use of loopholes: clearly you know the way to my heart. edit »
  • Eli: Sir, you have to tell Solinsky that I'm unavailable... tell him anything... tell him I got hit by a bus.
    Jordan: Even if I got to drive it, I couldn't do that... edit »
  • Eli: Nate, the knight was you. An hour ago, you were chasing a dragon down Fossil Street on horseback.
    Nathan: An hour ago I was here, asleep, and my horse hasn't been ridden all night. edit »
  • Maggie: (leaving the courtroom) Was that as big a disaster as I thought it was?
    Eli: No... it could still be going on. edit »
  • Eli: You should meet this kid. He's all alone. It's tragic... really.
    Maggie: It is... to those of us actually interested in helping people.
    Eli: I am interested in helping people.
    Maggie: Only because you're afraid of dying and you're trying to suck up to god. edit »
  • Peter Johnson: Mr. Stone? (introducing himself) ... Peter Johnson.
    Eli: Junior?
    Peter Johnson: Sorry... if I told your assistant I was 15 and wanted you to represent me, I don't think you would have shown up.
    Eli: (sarcastically) Only because I don't practice 'pediatric' law.
    Peter Johnson: I googled you... big settlements, big judgements... your name is all over the law blogs. You're exactly the kind of lawyer I need.
    Eli: So... What's the case? You're suing the school cafeteria to put french fries back on the menu?
    Peter Johnson: My mom died... edit »

  • Injoke: Jayson Turk's coach is named Coach Quesada and Taylor mentions a call from Chaykin Technologies. These names are probably references to two comic book creators, writer/artist (and current "Marvel" Editor-in-Chief) Joe Quesada and writer Howard Chaykin, especially considering that Marc Guggenheim (co-creator of Eli Stone) is a comic book writer himself. edit »

ALLUSIONS

  • The Wizard of Oz
    Taylor accuses Patty of thinking of her as the Wicked Witch of the West. Patty counters by saying Taylor is the Wicked Witch of the East because "they dropped a house on her." This exchange alludes to the scene in the 1939 feature film when Dorothy finds a pair of legs, belonging to the Wicked Witch of the East, sticking out from under her house that had dropped from a tornado. edit »
  • Barry Bonds
    The San Francisco baseball-player defendant, represented by Eli's law firm for killing his third-base coach with a foul ball while being on steroids, is a direct reference (even in the player's appearance) to former SF Giant, Barry Bonds, who is under indictment for lying about steroid use to a Federal Grand Jury. edit »
  • Episode's Title
    This is a song performed by George Michael, off his album Listen Without Prejudice. edit »
