Debra Mooney: Ruth Washington

Quotes 

• Ruth Washington : My mother always said I was too mean to die. I guess she wasn't far off.

  Will Girardi : Mrs. Washington, I was there when were shot. You had no heartbeat. I saw you... leave.

  Ruth Washington : Let's clear up this Walter business. 'Cause that girl Denise is crazy. She's attacked him with a butcher knife a dozen times. He never calls the police. Says he loves her.

  Will Girardi : Walter will get his day in court. He'll have a chance to explain.

  Ruth Washington : Yeah, but they won't look for the scars.

  Will Girardi : What scars?

  Ruth Washington : Check his arms, his chest. Knife cuts; they'll be there. She does it every time. I'd feel better if you wrote this down.

  Will Girardi : I'll remember.
