Quotes 

• [on Christine's first day as a judge, Bull brings in the next defendant, who is sobbing piteously] 

  Mr. Fengler : Please, let me go! Let me out of here!

  Bull Shannon : Sir, please calm down. You're among friends. Friends who wear badges, and search your body cavities, but friends nonetheless.

  Mr. Fengler : You don't understand, this is a mistake, please, somebody help me!

  Christine Sullivan : Oh, don't worry, sir, I'll help you!

  [everyone stares at her] 

  Christine Sullivan : I-I mean, I'll do everything in my power to see that you receive a fair trial. Um, Mr. Prosecutor?

  Dan Fielding : Yes, Your Honor, Ye Olde Town Crier here robbed yon convenience store, and stuffed the booty in his jerkin, forsooth.

  Mr. Fengler : I'm sorry, I just haven't had a square meal in days, and when I saw all that food in the window, I snapped.

  Christine Sullivan : Oh, you poor thing!

  Dan Fielding : Oh yes, the poor thing almost had to eat the SHOT GUN he had with him!

  Christine Sullivan : You had a shotgun?

  Mr. Fengler : A little one.

  Dan Fielding : The term is "sawed-off"!

• Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : Someone a little nervous about her first day on the job?

  Christine Sullivan : [twitching madly]  Nervous? What makes you think I'm nervous?

  Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : Because you're acting just the way Bull did the time he dropped his ant farm down his pants.

  Bull Shannon : Except you're not laughing.
