- [to the courtroom full of people demanding the lottery ticket]
- Harry T. Stone: Last night, I witnessed perhaps the most considerate, selfless, kind act I have ever seen.
- Dan Fielding: [bows his head] Thank you, Your Honor.
- Harry T. Stone: [ignoring Dan] And here before me, sits the result of that kindness: the most selfish, indulgent...
- [He tosses an apple to a "blind" man, who catches it reflexively, then retreats, embarrassed]
- Harry T. Stone: ...*transparent* display, I have ever witnessed!
- Harry T. Stone: Leo... come take your $3 million back, and spend it with a clear conscience, knowing that *you* are the most deserving person here.
- Leo: Your Honor... are you sure? Are you sure this is the right thing?
- Harry T. Stone: It's the only thing, Leo, believe me. A person with your capacity for giving is very special. Perhaps it's time you started giving to yourself. Besides, you charged me with the responsibility of finding the most worthy person.
- [puts the ticket in Leo's hand and folds his fingers over it]
- Harry T. Stone: Well, I did.
- Dan Fielding: [about Mary Jo] She makes Squiggy look like Buckminster Fuller.
- Bailiff Selma Hacker: I had a husband that dumb once. They fool you by walking upright, don't they?
- Harry T. Stone: Bull, you look depressed.
- Bull Shannon: I am. My word of the month is so obscure I can't find an opportunity to use it in conversation.
- Harry T. Stone: What word is that?
- Bull Shannon: "Pentimento."
- Harry T. Stone: [after a beat, turns to Dan] So how about that Jets game last night, huh?
- Billie Young: Bull, what exactly does pentimento mean?
- Bull Shannon: It's an artistic term, referring to the reappearance of original elements that had been obliterated by a new outer appearance.
- Dan Fielding: You mean like that little brown shadow on top of your head that you affectionately refer to as hair?
- Bull Shannon: Good example!
- Harry T. Stone: Bull! Explain to this man the penalty for harassing a judge.
- Bull Shannon: Uh, Section 4-C of the Penal Code, wherein the bailiff is encouraged to... pull the assailant's ears behind his head and tie them in a knot!
- Al Craven: That's not... really a law, is it?
- [Bull takes a step towards him]
- Al Craven: Gotcha! It's probably a regional thing, you know...
