Ally McBeal Season 1 Episode 20

Bobby Donnell: Why don't you want to do it yourselves?
Richard: We would. We're just concerned for our image. You know what the world thinks of criminal attorneys -- bottom-feeding scum suckers. Can't have that image running in our firm. But on you, it looks good.

Billy: We'll what?
Ally: Mutate. We'll become the kind of lawyers who can look at a dead body and instead of saying 'why', we'll say 'reasonable doubt.' You-- you can't be a good criminal lawyer if-- if murder horrifies you. And if it doesn't horrify you, then what are you then?

Renée: I can't bring a guy home for coffee without expecting to be mauled?
Ally: I am saying you can lead a man by the penis, but it's the wrong way to tame him.

Bobby Donnell: Get out of my face.
Billy: I'm in your face!
Ally: So am I! I'm just shorter.

Ally: Do you ever, uhm, want kids? Well, it's just a question. Uh-- I'm not volunteering to carry them to term. Do you?
Bobby Donnell: Someday.
Ally: Well, for the sake of their innocence, you might want to cling to your own.

John: Are we?
Richard: Are we what?
John: A joke to the outside world?
Richard: The outside world just doesn't get the joke.
