Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Judge Erdheim: As for you sir...from this seat I thought I had witnessed every degradation, every monstrosity possible, but you, Doctor, are beyond contempt. You have helped a woman destroy herself. You engineered the tragedy of a little girl's death. But you took pretty good care of yourself, didn't you? Edit
- Mike Logan: My mother, yeah, she always said she was cut out for something greater than being a wife of a cop from the Lower East Side. God, she was a bottomless pit, it was always, "Give me your undivided attention," but when the old man couldn't take any more and gave her a whack, then she would turn around and whack me -- huh, huh, huh, she always got this look in her eye, you know, then I saw it coming. (Max Greevey hangs his head in shock) Mike Logan: And that witch in there... she's got that same look. Edit
- Ben Stone: I didn't hear you knock. Shambala Green: That's because I didn't. If I'd have knocked, you would have heard me. Ben Stone: I don't doubt that. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Max Greevey: (After listening to Mike Logan's explanation of why a mother abuses a child) You saw this on Oprah or what? This is an allusion to The Oprah Winfrey Show where subjects like these are discussed on occasion. Edit
- Shambala Green: Ethically, I'm Snow White. This is a reference to the popular fairy tale character Snow White, written by the Brothers Grimm, meant to suggest purity and innocence. Edit
- Rudy: Mommie Dearest was dancing around like a whirling dervish. Mommie Dearest is a movie about Joan Crawford and her abusive relationship with her adopted children. Edit
