Matt: I just think you, of all people, just wanted her to be happy. Eli: And going out with you, she's that how? Matt: Ha! That's funny!

Eli: Shouldn't you be busy trying to hit on someone's fiancée? Matt: Oh I'm busy with yours, actually.

Eli: You have to admit, the whole engagement thing kind of came out of nowhere. Maggie: No it didn't, it came out of Ohio.

Maggie: We don't know what's going to happen, Eli. That's why they call it the future.

Cathy Borilla: So basically chimps are human, just shorter, stupider, and with more hair. You just described my ex-husband.

Eli: All right, then we'll help everyone. Class action on behalf of the entire prison population. We'll sue for denial of parole hearings, violation of civil rights, prisoner abuse, all of it. (David Mosely chuckles from his hospital bed) Keith: Something funny about that? David Mosely: Just like the way you boys roll.

Eli: Apes, one's her client and the other is her co-counsel. Taylor: I can't believe that you are jealous of Matt Dowd. Eli: I'm not jealous. Taylor: Fine, we'll see if you are. If you need me, I'll be in Matt's office working shoulder-to-shoulder with him late into the night. Keith: You live a very interesting life. Eli: Don't I, though.

Patti: (to Taylor and Matt after both argue over why each took the chimp case) All right, knock it off. I don't care how you got here. But this (turns computer screen to face them) is what this case is about. Now, you put your high-priced law degrees to work. I'll be outside, but no one leaves until you figure out how you're going to save my chimps.

Matt: (to Taylor) You know you act like you don't like chimps. But deep down, you kind of like us.

David Mosely: And I wouldn't be standing here right now if it weren't for the people whose lives touched mine years ago. People like my very good friend, Eli Stone. (pauses for applause) A man whose words and deeds remind us that (pauses) there is no faith without hope, no justice without compassion, no humanity without fairness. A man who reminds us, every one of us, the least of us is still divine. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the man we've all come here to see tonight, Eli Stone.
