Ally McBeal

Karen: I was invited to leave the synagogue altogether. Ally: Excuse me? Karen: [Rabbi Stern] said it was one thing to stick a lawyer on him, yet another to send somebody who didn't like men, and still yet another to hire a Jew-hater, and to wrap all three of them up in one waify little package. Ally: He called me 'waify?' Karen: Oh, great! Make it about you.

Ally: That's the thing about me. I make all my clients forget about all their troubles by giving them bigger ones.

Ally: (to Rabbi Stern) I have a habit of saying the wrong thing when I'm upset. I mean, if you could fill this room with everybody I've offended, people would probably think you're a much better rabbi than you are.

Ally: I am so indifferent to every man I meet these days. It's rare that one comes along who I could so immediately dislike, so I figure there must be something behind that. Rabbi Stern: This is how you ask me out?

Richard: Helping people is never more rewarding than when it's in your own self-interest.
