Quotes 

• Ali G : What is legal?

  Richard Thornburgh : Well, I think most conduct that all of us engage in on a day-to-day basis is legal.

  Ali G : So what is illegal?

  Richard Thornburgh : What is illegal is what the elected representatives of the people define as crimes.

  Ali G : What is barely legal?

  Richard Thornburgh : Well, that's when you get into technicalities and that's why you have trials.

  Ali G : Cos me saw this film called Barely Legal 3 and it was about these two naughty college girls, and them 'adn't done their 'omework, and then as punishment they had to have a three-header with their supervisor, this teacher. Is that to do with the law?

  Richard Thornburgh : Uhhh... It's hard to say. That would probably be governed by the rules of the institution, the college.

  Ali G : Yo, well, in this institution it was very strict rule that if you didn't do your 'omework you would get boned.

  Richard Thornburgh : Right. Well, that's a law of sorts.

  Ali G : Yo. Well, it's a well good law. Has you seen that film?

  Richard Thornburgh : Yes - No, I haven't.

  Ali G : You should check it out.

  Richard Thornburgh : [laughing]  I will now because you've recommended it.

  Ali G : Yo. I mean, it's well good, it's like...

  Richard Thornburgh : Barely Legal?

  Ali G : Barely Legal 3.

  Richard Thornburgh : 3, OK. Good.
