Quotes
-
Lawyer Carl Reisman : Miss Lamb, the United States government is deeply saddened by what happened to your client's wife.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : It that why you're trying to shut us up? Why you had a slapped with a gag order the day we filed?
Lawyer Carl Reisman : I thought we were here to talk settlement.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : All right, what's your offer?
Lawyer Carl Reisman : 100,000.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : That's insulting.
Lawyer Carl Reisman : No admission of liability, the case stays sealed.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : And nobody will ever know what happened to Catherine Phillips. Forget it.
Lawyer Carl Reisman : You're obligated to discuss this with your client.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Oh, I will. And he'll be as disgusted as I am. You put Luiz Vedero, a dangerous criminal, into your witness protection program. You locate him in a residential neighborhood where he brutally murders an innocent woman, and now you offer her husband $100,000 to buy him off? You people are really something.
Lawyer Carl Reisman : Before you reject this, I'd think about a few things.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Such as?
Lawyer Carl Reisman : The national interest. We're fighting a war against drugs, Miss Lamb. The Witness Protection program is a vital weapon. We'd appreciate your cooperation.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : I don't believe I'm hearing this.
Lawyer Carl Reisman : We do not appreciate people who work against our interest. One like you could have immigration problems. And then there's your unorthodox lifestyle.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Is that a threat?
Lawyer Carl Reisman : Not at all. I'm merely pointing out the facts. The system works best when we all work together.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Let's get something clear: my client is not going to be bought off. And I am not going to be scared off. Catherine Phillips is dead because of the government's negligence, and you are going to be held accountable.
