Injoke: The baseball player's full name, Jayson Christopher Turk, is mentioned in court. In the previous episode, there were two allusions to the sitcom, Scrubs, which has, as one of its co-stars, Chris Turk, played by Donald Faison.
(edit)
Injoke: The name of Jayson Turk's wife is another nod to characters in Scrubs as the name of the wife of Donald Faison's character, Chris Turk, is Carla, portrayed by Judy Reyes.

Judge Marcia Phelps: I hate granting mistrials, Mr. Weathersby. (Jordon prepares to object) Almost as much I hate unfair trials.
Matt: If you declare a mistrial, your honor, Jayson can't be tried again. It's double jeopardy.
Sweren: It doesn't apply in the case of a mistrial.
Keith: It does when the mistrial arises out of prosecutorial misconduct. (Gestures toward Sweren) He's been dead-set on winning this any way he can.
Sweren: Court may grant you qualified immunity against a slander suit but that doesn't mean I won't file one.
Judge Marcia Phelps: You boys want to take a ruler to the men's room and measure yourselves, fine, but keep it out of my court room. I want to talk to Carly Turk. Then I'll make my decision. (edit) (After confronting Jayson Turk about plotting with his wife to have his trial declared a mistrial)
Keith: Rules are for other people, right? (edit) Eli: Is this about Solinsky?
Patti: It's about your representing that scum-sucking lizard.
Eli: Well, if it bothers you so much, why didn't you say something?
Patti: Like what? That you're lower than Dick Cheney's bunion to be his lawyer? (edit) Patti: Objection! Condescending.
Eli: It was not!
Patti: I have been a legal secretary ever since you were an itch in your daddy's pants. I know an objectionable question when I hear one. (edit) Dr. Chen: Lie down.
Eli: Is it needle time? I love needle time.
Dr. Chen: You're never allowed to call it needle time again. (edit)
Matt: If you declare a mistrial, your honor, Jayson can't be tried again. It's double jeopardy.
Sweren: It doesn't apply in the case of a mistrial.

Praying for TimeSuperb "Series classic" Drama, comedy, action - this episode has it all. With a major earthquake hanging over the proceedings, it's hard to choose a classification for this one. We can't use the word 'c!assic' in the review, so I chose the above. (See what we did there ! )? Continue » Posted Mar 21, 2008 10:24 am PST |
