When Stark dismissed the jury during the arrest of Judge Bennett, his pose with arms upright in the shape of a "V" was an homage to Richard Nixon. edit »
When Stark's team is explaining the oil residue, the right-top corner of the laptop screen says "Mute" in bright green letters, but, strangely enough, the application makes sounds as each window is brought forward. edit »

Stark: An eye for an eye?
Judge Bennett: Exactly.
Stark: I guess that's why they say justice is blind. edit »
Stark: That's Sam Harris. The top DC spin doctor. He's shepherding Bennett's confirmation to the Federal Court of Appeals. Guy's a magician.
Raina: You should hire him to fix your public image.
Stark: Nobody's that good. edit »
Danny Vargas: He told me if he ever catches me using again, he'd kick my ass.
Isaac: Cons helping cons.
Raina: Isn't that special? edit »
(Stark bursts through the courtroom doors and strides toward bench.)
Judge Bennett: We're in the middle of a trial.
Stark: Not any more. Andrew Bennett, you are under arrest for the murder of your wife. (Stark turns toward jury and raises his arms in a Nixonesque "V") Ladies and gentlemen, court is adjourned. edit »
Judge Bennett: This is a personal vendetta, Stark. And you know when this trial is over and I'm exonerated, I'm going to return the favor. I'm going to make your life a living hell.
Stark: Well, thanks, I've already been married.
Judge Bennett: Yeah, just remember: when you go after the king, you better kill the king.
Stark: That's what Elvis said to the Beatles. Next thing you know he's playing Vegas in a sequined jumpsuit. edit »

Stark: Dueling crime-boards?

This is a reference to "Dueling Banjos," a famous scene from 1972's Deliverance highlighted by two of the movie's characters playing a song of the same name. edit »
