"The" Nicholas Engbloom comes to Cage & Fish looking for John to help him with a murder case. Melanie West suffers with Tourette's syndrome and accidentally ran over her boyfriend. She claims to have done it on purpose, only not to be humiliated as she has been her whole life. John convinces her to tell the truth and they win the case. While handling the West case, Nicholas finds himself involved in a divorce case. His wife wants to end their long time marriage because he won't retire and she feels like she can't compete with his work. After his wife almost dies, Nicholas abandons the practice, this time forever. Meanwhile, Richard teaches Mark how to use a "sex song" in order to please Elaine in bed, and John asks Melanie on a date.moreless

      • John: Dancing is a quiet thing. If you're going to speak, let it be involuntary.

      • Nelle: If this keeps up, you and I are going to have to be friends. Renée: It'll never come to that. Nelle: Promise? Renée: You'd don't fool me. If I offered you some of my jelly roll you'd step right up. Nelle: How would you know? You've never offered.

      • Larry: Brandy, is the case over? Brandy: I don't like the word "over." I prefer the word "retired." There's big points in that word too, Nicholas. Nicholas: Yes, there are. Brandy: Larry, the case is over.

      • Nicholas: This is my real fear, John. If I'm at home all day, she'll finally figure out that I'm not good enough for her.

      • Melanie: I guess a crime of passion just makes me seem more human. John: No, it doesn't.

      • Larry: I used to think I was Johnny Mathis in a prior life until I found out he's not dead.

      • John: You want to tell me why you're smiling? Melanie: You're quite funny.

      • Elaine: How was it with Larry, y'know, the first? Ally: Oh, it was so incredibly... private.

      • Richard: You need a sex song. Mark: A sex song? Richard: Yeah, John uses Barry White, I use Tom Jones. Does it help me, Lingo? Ling: Amazing.

      • Nicholas: I'm afraid of retirement... more than you could ever know. I'm just scared of... going dead inside. It's not that I don't love you, but it's not enough.

      • Larry: Hold on! Let's start out in nice civil tones and then build toward the anger.

      • Richard: Oh, listen, I've been meaning to ask: how's Elaine in bed? It's just, y'know, I've always wanted to find out I've just been too afraid of, uh, catching something.

      • Melanie: I'd rather be thought of as a cold-blooded murderer than crazy, and if that makes me insane, I still don't want to plead it.
