Asst. State's Atty. Rhonda Pearlman: The fact is, the industry has all of us by the balls.

Asst. State's Atty. Rhonda Pearlman: Pardon my French, your honor.
Judge Daniel Phelan: All right, I'll tell you what. Best I can do for you is this: You give me a boilerplate affidavit with the PC from the court report. And then, as you get fresh numbers for the new disposables, you call me - anytime, day or night - to jump phones.
Lt. Cedric Daniels: That helps. But we're still gonna be getting up on their phones even as they're coming down.
Judge Daniel Phelan: Yeah, probably so.

Wow Guess who is gay?

The Deputy can be spotted at the Gay club right after Bow-tie's boy leaves insearch of Omar. He walks into the club insearch of Omar and ends up being offered beer. He rejects the beer and asks for Omar without knowing that Omars partner is at the counter right beside him. Im still laughing till today because when the guy is on his way out of the gay bar the camera stops for a few seconds on the deputy surprisingly giggling with another individual. loll i don't know if the deputy is now a homosexual or if he is just interested in the people at the scene lol. it is very funny because i never expected someone like him play such a role.
