    • Quotes

      Douglas Brackman, Jr.: First up, Cheryl Brennen vs. Worldwide Studios.

      Alex DePalma: We're representing Cheryl Brennen?

      Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb: Down, boy. We're representing the studio Ms. Brennan is suing.

      Tommy Mullaney: Oh, this is about her silicone implants.

      Alex DePalma: Implants?

      Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb: She claims her studio forced her to get them.

      Ann Kelsey: Oh, what, they put her gun to her head?

      Jonathan Rollins: Our side's gonna have a hard time showing liability.

      Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb: Even so, I wish we had settled, since the opposing counsel is one David McCoy.

      Stuart Markowitz: He's a heavyweight.

      Jonathan Rollins: Yes.

      Grace Van Owen: McCoy is good.

      Tommy Mullaney: How aggressive can you get against him, without alienating your jury?

      Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb: Looks like I'm gonna find out.

      Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Next up, McConnell vs. Devries.

      Arnie Becker: It's history. The judge decided that my septuagenarian bride needed her daughter as a conservator.

      Leland McKenzie: Why didn't her new husband qualify?

      Arnie Becker: Because we were ambushed. I'd like to come talk to you about it privately.

      Leland McKenzie: Yeah, please do.

      Douglas Brackman, Jr.: And last on the agenda, Jonathan has an announcement.

      Jonathan Rollins: Some of you already know this, but I've been asked to serve out Art Middleman's term on the city council.

      Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb: Wow!

      Ann Kelsey: What an honor.

      Alex DePalma: Congratulations.

      Jonathan Rollins: Yeah, it's a 5-month appointment. I'm not considering running for a seat.
