- Lindsay: It means I might say that you're dysfunctional. Your father has worked his whole life as a janitor in a big law firm. It made you want to be a lawyer, it also made you hate them, for the way that they treated him. I mean, look at you. Fancy suits in a rat infested office? As you try to get ahead you fight yourself at the same time and it hurts everybody here. One on one I was afraid I might say that. edit »
- Bobby: If that's the way you feel, why do you stay?
Lindsay: Because my best friends work here. I don't wanna leave. And I'm in love with you. (Bobby looks up at her in utter surprise) I say that with no hope of you loving me back - I don't even think I want it. But I don't know, I mean, maybe as a result of my loving you I also see you, and I know with you in charge and only you in charge this firm is maxed out. And you might be, too. edit » - Eugene: (To Mrs. Barnette) You asked me before if I was going to save your son. I told you I’d try to keep him out of jail, I did. Now whether or not he’s saved, that’s up to the two of you. (To Raymond Barnette) You don’t know how to say thanks. From now on, every time you see a ten-year-old kid, you pretend he’s mine. edit »
- Eugene: Look me in the eye. It was an accident?
Raymond: I swear.
Eugene: Look me deeper in the eye. (Pause) Ok, let’s try it. edit »
