Quotes 

• Lionel Granger : I want her brought before the disciplinary committee for badgering Jeffrey. My clients are furious.

  Alexandra Cabot : Clients? Jeffrey Lynwood is your client. Not his parents. I'm moving to disqualify Mr. Granger as counsel.

  Lionel Granger : She's posturing.

  Alexandra Cabot : You're a sleazebag. You're letting Jeffrey's father call the shots because he can pay you and Jeffrey can't.

  Lionel Granger : I'm acting in my client's best interests.

  Judge Barry Moredock : Your client has as much business on a witness stand as I do riding in a rodeo. Only a horse's ass would ignore his diminished mental capacity.

  Lionel Granger : You're out of line, Your Honor.

  Judge Barry Moredock : And you are a disgrace to the defense bar, Mr. Granger. And if you don't get your act in line, I'll grant her motion and report you to the disciplinary committee. Now get out!

• Michael Rowan : I'll have your ass for this.

  Alexandra Cabot : I already have yours, and it's on the record.

• Dr. George Huang : [about Jeffrey]  I think there's something really wrong with him.

  Alexandra Cabot : Something like what?

  Dr. George Huang : A developmental disability. He acts like a child. He can't process a simple sentence.

  Alexandra Cabot : He has a job. He can read. He takes care of himself.

  Dr. George Huang : A lot of people like Jeff are high-functioning.

  Alexandra Cabot : Most of them don't commit murder. He almost killed you.

  Dr. George Huang : Because he can't control his temper or his emotions.

  Alexandra Cabot : He's still mentally competent. He made a plan: he got Daddy's gun, he loaded it and he shoved it in Keppler's face.

  Dr. George Huang : To make Keppler tell him the truth.

  Alexandra Cabot : He shot him and he bashed his brains in.

  Dr. George Huang : Because Keppler was calling him names. He's an eight-year-old in a man's body. His IQ is probably right on the borderline.

  Alexandra Cabot : Can you definitively say that I cannot try him because he's retarded?
