Stark: That's Sam Harris. The top DC spin doctor. He's shepherding Bennett's confirmation to the Federal Court of Appeals. Guy's a magician. Raina: You should hire him to fix your public image. Stark: Nobody's that good.

Danny Vargas: He told me if he ever catches me using again, he'd kick my ass. Isaac: Cons helping cons. Raina: Isn't that special?

(Stark bursts through the courtroom doors and strides toward bench.) Judge Bennett: We're in the middle of a trial. Stark: Not any more. Andrew Bennett, you are under arrest for the murder of your wife. (Stark turns toward jury and raises his arms in a Nixonesque "V") Ladies and gentlemen, court is adjourned.

Judge Bennett: This is a personal vendetta, Stark. And you know when this trial is over and I'm exonerated, I'm going to return the favor. I'm going to make your life a living hell. Stark: Well, thanks, I've already been married. Judge Bennett: Yeah, just remember: when you go after the king, you better kill the king. Stark: That's what Elvis said to the Beatles. Next thing you know he's playing Vegas in a sequined jumpsuit.

Jessica: Are you sure he's never met somebody else here? A woman? Bartender: (Chuckles) Oh-huh. Like I said, that's not how this place works. (Only then does she look around the bar to observe men huddled together as couples.)

Stark: Why not confess? Throw yourself on the mercy of the Court? Judge Bennett: Well, you know I've never been a big proponent of mercy.

Stark: What were you thinking, barhopping with your boy friend weeks before your confirmation hearing? Did you honestly think nobody would find out? Judge Bennett: Do you think this has been easy? I have been trapped for years unable to live my life and be who I am. Stark: Have you ever been to West Hollywood? Great food, rent control. You're the one who made the choice to pretend to be somebody you're not!

(Madeleine and a forensics technician carrying a laptop enter Stark's office.) Stark: Let me guess... casting call for "Beauty and the Geek?" Madeleine: He wishes. Forensics Tech: So badly.

Jessica: Bennett is a judge, Sebastian, you can't afford to get this one wrong. Stark: You know, last time I looked, my office door said, High Profile Crime Unit. I don't have the luxury of getting anything wrong, Jess, which is where my god-like perfection comes in handy. So unless one of those civil servant hacks that you laughingly call a prosecutor has suddenly grown a brain – and some balls – kindly take a giant step back.

Stark: I don't care if you did it with farm animals. You killed your wife, Bennett, to protect your image. That disgusts me.

Judge Bennett: In the end, the truth will come out. Stark: And the truth will set you free, right? … Don't bet on it.

Casey: This is the part where we get disbarred, isn't it?.

Isaac: Wow, that's a lot of blood. Judge definitely didn't cut himself shaving. Raina: No, but he may have just cut his own throat.

Stark: You know my motto: Winning first, revenge a close second.

Stark: (to Raina) That hurts me deeply. I'm going after Bennett because it's my job. If he happens to be guilty, it'll be an added bonus.
