Sweetie (2008)

Sam Waterston: Interim DA Jack McCoy

Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : Is there any particular reason why this office is flying gay prostitutes in from all over the country?

  Michael Cutter : It's the Cody Larson trial.

  Jack McCoy : He's entitled to a jury of his peers; that's fellow citizens, not fellow hustlers.

  Michael Cutter : It's not for the jury, Jack. We have a witness problem.

  Jack McCoy : And these men are the solution?

  Connie Rubirosa : [entering]  Hey. She's here.

  Michael Cutter : [to Jack]  Stay. Watch. Learn.

  Jack McCoy : Rooted to the spot.

  Jack McCoy : [afterwards]  You just gave the defense three alternate theories of the crime. If they're all Sweetie Ness, they all had motive to kill Mr. Marks. Oh, I stayed. I watched. What is it I was supposed to learn?

• Michael Cutter : She's lying. She's been saying she faked that book to save abused children, but it's making a fortune. And this puts her back in business. Larson's lawyer probably brokered the deal.

  Jack McCoy : Maybe. But she just shot your motive to hell. Sweetie Ness had no reason to kill someone he'd hired to impersonate himself.

  Michael Cutter : Cody Larson isn't Sweetie Ness.

  Jack McCoy : Drops his pants to the jury and shows the burns on his butt, they might believe he is.

  Michael Cutter : Are you enjoying this?

  Jack McCoy : Enjoying? Watching my prosecutors lose control of their witnesses in their case? That's not the word that leaps to mind.
