I Deserve Some Loving Too (2020)

Ralph Adriel Johnson: Duane Varik

Quotes 

• Amanda Rollins : Mr. Varick here was just telling me he takes the Z train every day.

  Duane Varik : Fact. And today, it was really crowded, so any touching was accidental.

  Sergeant Hasim Khaldun : Then why run? Why smash your phone?

  Duane Varik : Because my father had that conversation with me when I was a boy. Badge or no badge, I know you understand that, my brother, and in case you don't, I want a lawyer. Mm.

  Deputy Chief Christian Garland : Race card, the lawyer card. Smarter than he looks.

• Amanda Rollins : Posting upskirt photos of women from your desk computer at your federal job? That's a class E felony. Duane, you're in a lot of trouble.

  Counselor April Andrews : Did you have a warrant for that?

  Odafin Tutuola : We don't need one. It's government property.

  Duane Varik : That pervert O'Toole dime me out? Makes sense. Last thing he would want is you going through his computer.

  Odafin Tutuola : Why is that?

  Counselor April Andrews : Hold on. Duane?

  [he leans over and whispers indistinctly in her ear] 

  Counselor April Andrews : My client may have something to offer.

• Duane Varik : And all the immigrant women Mr. O'Toole requested that I sent him were young, attractive, diverse, and desperate.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Desperate. How?

  Duane Varik : They fled gangs, war, poverty. They were terrified of being sent back.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : So terrified of being deported that they gave into Mr. O'Toole's sexual demands?

  John Buchanan : Objection. Calls for speculation.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Withdrawn. Mr. Varik, is there a reason that your boss pulled these particular women's files?

  Duane Varik : Yes, he called it his Baskin-Robbins file. One in every flavor.

• John Buchanan : Mr. Varik, you made a deal with the prosecution to testify today?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Your Honor, the jury already heard this on Mr. Varik's direct...

  John Buchanan : Yes, that's right. You were charged with forcible touching and unlawful sexual surveillance. That's upskirting, isn't it? Good thing I wore pants today.

  Judge Felicia Catano : Move along, Mr. Buchanan.

  John Buchanan : After you were arrested, the detectives found your upskirting files on your work computer?

  Duane Varik : Yes.

  John Buchanan : Who gave them access?

  Duane Varik : My supervisor, Mr. O'Toole.

  John Buchanan : And that's when you decided to play "Let's Make a Deal"?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Objection.

  John Buchanan : I'll rephrase. According to your own testimony, you were aware of this egregious behavior for years, but you never reported it, never said a word about it to anyone?

  Duane Varik : I'm not proud of that.

  John Buchanan : You have a lot not to be proud of, Mr. Varik. Enough to make up charges like this to save your own ass?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Objection.

  John Buchanan : Withdrawn. Nothing further.
