- Leanne McIntyre: [Leann enters the kitchen and looks at Ben sitting at the table] Oh, hello dad. What are you writing?
- Ben Matlock: A confession.
- Leanne McIntyre: A confession to what?
- Ben Matlock: I'm goin' to kill Billy.
- Leanne McIntyre: You're going to kill Billy.
- Ben Matlock: He's the one who brought all those people over here, eating me into the poorhouse. So I'm goin' kill him. I'll plead temporary insanity. The courts like me. I'll get out in five, maybe six years.
- Leanne McIntyre: Dad?
- Ben Matlock: Give yourself a raise. You'll be working harder.
- Leanne McIntyre: Should I make Cliff a full partner?
- Ben Matlock: It's your firm. Do what you want to.
- [She laughs]
