  Judge Harry T. Stone : 509?

  Mac Robinson : Uh-huh.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : B?

  Mac Robinson : Yep.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : I don't believe I'm familiar with that one.

  Dan Fielding : Well, sir, it's not used in Manhattan very much. It refers to the illegal detonation of... poultry.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Excuse me, but I didn't think that chickens were among our more widely-used explosives.

• Mac Robinson : Dan, you know, I could call a friend of mine at the committee office to see if you made the list.

  Dan Fielding : That would be great!

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Mac, is there anyplace on this planet where you don't have a friend working?

  [smiles] 

  Mac Robinson : "Biff" to his friends.

  Dan Fielding : Quiche, yes sir.

• Dan Fielding : Wait a minute, you're carrying 250,000 bucks around in a coffee can?

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Looks like June is busting out all over.

• Christine Sullivan : He's been such a downer since Granny died.

  Bob Wheeler : [Christine, Harry and Dan all look at each other with looks of who's going to ask]  Oh, What the hell, someone's got to ask. How did she die?

  Judge Harry T. Stone : She passed away in her sleep.

  [Everyone looks at him stunned at this simple answer] 

  Judge Harry T. Stone : [Having come to expect a more elaborate story from this unlucky couple]  That's it? She was just sleeping peacefully?

  Bob Wheeler : Yes... .. On the railroad track.

  [Everyone reacts with an Ah-ha] 

  June Wheeler : The rail company was very sympathtic though. Didn't even charge her for the ride.

  Christine Sullivan : Yes.

  [She nods sympathetically] 

  Christine Sullivan : Tragedy does bring out the best in people.
