Episode Title: "I agree, it wasn't funny" is a line spoken by Dave Pell to Walter Kendrickin the bathroom after the emcee of Kendrick's roast continuously poked fun at him in front of the crowd.
Patty: (on choosing a case) It starts with a seed of anger. I can feel it in my hands and my chest, and that seed has to be nurtured, cultivated until it grows into a full-blown rage. Then I know that I can't turn back. I have no choice but to take the case because the rage doesn't abate.
Ellen: Until someone's punished.
(during Walter Kendrick's roast event)Arthur Phillips: Seriously though, I always wondered why birds flew over the state of West Virginia upside down. And then I met this guy-- and I realized there is nothing there worth shitting on.
(after Ellen fires rounds at the civilian paper target in the shooting range)Ellen: I didn't hit him once?
Wes: If nothing else, I'm sure you scared him.
Ellen: How is that even possible?
Wes: It takes time. Besides, look at his face, he's terrified. No way he didn't shit himself.
Patty: If I'm under investigation, God knows what they'll try to use to hurt me.
Uncle Pete: I've said it before-- the only thing that can hurt you is Ellen Parsons.
Patty: You see anyone else checking their phone while I'm talking?
Ellen: No. I apologize.
Patty: Don't. Just tell me the truth. What do you have in your life that's more important than work?
Ellen: Nothing. I'm sorry, Patty.
Patty: I'm not asking you to be sorry. I'm asking you who called.
