Quotes 

• Ben Loretz : Harry, I don't do freebies anymore.

  Harry Orwell : You said the idea of handling a deaf-mute fascinated you.

  Ben Loretz : Now that was off-the-cuff fascination. I've got a federal tax appeal in precisely forty-two minutes. Money, Harry, money.

  Harry Orwell : What happened to that heroic friend of the friendless, Ben?

  Ben Loretz : That's when I was a fighting liberal. Translation: young and hungry. I'm fat now, Harry. My kids enjoy first-class orthodontia. I got my mother her own condominium in Florida. And I live in a tax shelter. I'm gonna plead him, and that's it.

• Ben Loretz : My client can neither hear nor speak. He's already locked into solitude. He is already a prisoner.

  Judge Rizzani : Eloquent, Mr. Lorenz. But not to the issue.
