Sense and Sensitivity (1999)

Thomas Burr: Lee Mercer

Quotes 

• Little Tony Papazian : [into a phone]  What the hell do I pay you for? I want my limo here now, and my bail put up!

  Lee Mercer : [into a phone]  I'm afraid that's not possible, Mr. Papazian.

  Little Tony Papazian : What? What are you telling me?

  Lee Mercer : You shot up a precinct and attempted to murder a police officer... in full view of witnesses. We can't risk that kind of exposure.

  Little Tony Papazian : You're the ones that set this thing up!

  Lee Mercer : We opened a door for you. The point was for you to walk through it... not blast your way out. The senior partners here at Wolfram & Hart have felt that you've become a liability. We can't waste valuable energy on you when there are more pressing issues at hand.

  Little Tony Papazian : Pressing issues? What pressing issues?

  [Lee is shown to be watching a survelence video of Angel at the police station stopping Papazian from the previous night] 

  Lee Mercer : You're on your own, Mr. Papazian. Find another lawyer and work out a plea deal. Your business relationship with me and Wolfram & Hart is terminated... as is this phone call.

  [hangs up] 

  Little Tony Papazian : [also hangs up]  Damn!

• Lee Mercer : Mr. Papazian is a very important client at Wolfram & Hart. Any further violations of his rights and there *will* be serious repercussions.

  Detective Kate Lockley : And what exactly the hell does that mean?

  Lee Mercer : It means that we will open this case to the court of public opinion. It means that we'll shine *light* into the darkest corners of this precinct and give the people a clear view of the brutality and callousness of this police force that will make Mark Fuhrman look like Gentle Ben.

  Little Tony Papazian : Everybody should have a lawyer like this one.
