Quotes
-
Rebecca Carlson : All we did was make love.
Frank Dulaney : In handcuffs.
Rebecca Carlson : It was different, but it was still making love. Have you ever seen animals make love, Frank? It's intense. It's violent. But they never really hurt each other.
Frank Dulaney : We're not animals.
Rebecca Carlson : Yes, we are.
-
Frank Dulaney : It's not a crime to be a beautiful woman.
-
Frank Dulaney : It's not a crime to be a great lay!
Robert Garrett : Well, sure. l'd have to have myself indicted.

Frank Dulaney : Counsel for the Prosecution has already used this witness to establish the state of mind of the deceased. He opened the can, Your Honor.

Rebecca Carlson : My way.
[holds a lighted candle over Frank's naked body]

Frank Dulaney : Hi. Where's Michael?
Sharon Dulaney : I took him over to Kevin's to spend the night.
Frank Dulaney : Why didn't you tell me? I got a shitload of work to do, I could've stayed at the office.
Sharon Dulaney : You mean you could've used the time to screw your client!
Frank Dulaney : That's paranoid.
Sharon Dulaney : [Softly] Oh man.
[Turns and bumps into a waiter, causing her to drop a tray full of glass and china; she then leaves out the back door]
Frank Dulaney : Sharon!
[chases after her out of the back door]
Frank Dulaney : Sharon! Sharon. Sharon.
Sharon Dulaney : Go away!
Frank Dulaney : Talk to me?
Sharon Dulaney : People see your car down by the river in front of her goddamn houseboat. It gets back to me Frank!
Frank Dulaney : She's my client. I'm allowed to have conferences with my client.
Sharon Dulaney : Of course you are are! Why can't you have them in your office?
Frank Dulaney : I can't believe you listen to this bull shit gossip.
Sharon Dulaney : I talked to her!
Frank Dulaney : What?
Sharon Dulaney : She called here tonight looking for you.
Frank Dulaney : What did she say?
Sharon Dulaney : She didn't have to say anything. l could hear it in her voice. ln the way that she said your name.
Frank Dulaney : You're making this up.
Sharon Dulaney : What did she do to you, Frank? How did you get those marks on your chest? What? What are they? What are they, bites? What happened to your back? l thought we were happy. l thought we were a family. l trusted you.
Frank Dulaney : lt has nothing to do with you.
Sharon Dulaney : You son of a bitch. How dare you stand there and say that to me?
Frank Dulaney : l love you. You're my wife.
Sharon Dulaney : Go pack some things. l don't want to see you when l get home.
Frank Dulaney : Please, Sharon. l don't want to lose you.
Sharon Dulaney : Then you shouldn't have fucked her.
-
Michael Dulaney : Can you really screw someone to death?
Frank Dulaney : No. Of Besides you don't need to worry about that stuff yet. Do you?
Michael Dulaney : [chuckling] No.
Frank Dulaney : Because you are a good-looking guy.
-
Frank Dulaney : Let's play another game.
-
Robert Garrett : Do you believe in karma, Frank?
Frank Dulaney : No.
Robert Garrett : Whatever you call it. People usually get what they deserve except for lawyers.
-
Frank Dulaney : Did you tell your boss what you had seen?
Joanne Braslow : No.
Frank Dulaney : And why not?
Joanne Braslow : l wanted to keep my job. That didn't include telling him his girlfriend was a cokehead slut.
-
Frank Dulaney : Why the fuck didn't you warn me, at least?
Rebecca Carlson : You need to hear about every man l ever had sex with?
Frank Dulaney : No. Just the ones with bad hearts who put you in their wills!
-
Rebecca Carlson : I loved Andy. Why is it so hard for everybody to believe?
Frank Dulaney : You know why. You're young and beautiful and you were involved with a wealthy, older man.
Rebecca Carlson : He wasn't old to me.
-
Frank Dulaney : l know how Bobby works. He's going to build his case on your sex life. He's gonna drag out every dirty little thing you ever did.
Rebecca Carlson : lt wasn't dirty.
Frank Dulaney : No. Not to you. Not to Andrew. But people here have very conservative views about sex.
Rebecca Carlson : No, they don't. They just don't talk about it. They're such hypocrites!
Frank Dulaney : Those hypocrites will be sitting in the jury box, listening to Garrett say how you led Andrew into perversion.
Rebecca Carlson : l didn't have to lead him anywhere. Andrew knew exactly what he wanted.
-
Rebecca Carlson : Do you think I killed him?
Frank Dulaney : That's a question I never ask my clients. What matters is whether the State can prove you killed him.
-
Frank Dulaney : Here, pussy-puss. Hello, kitty. Such a beautiful kitty.
-
Joanne Braslow : It wasn't normal. They didn't have normal sex.
Frank Dulaney : How do you know what kind of sex they had?
Joanne Braslow : l wasn't peeping through the keyhole, if that's what you're implying. l would go to the house to pick up papers, drop off papers, and l would find their little toys all over the place.
-
Frank Dulaney : The state would like you to believe that she somehow fornicated Andrew Marsh to death. But, the State's case is built on fantasy.
-
Frank Dulaney : [tasting a white powdery substance] What the hell is it?
Dr. Novaro : Chinese peony roots.
Frank Dulaney : What's it used for?
Dr. Novaro : lt's an aspirin substitute.
-
Rebecca Carlson : Come in.
Frank Dulaney : lt's a bad idea.
Rebecca Carlson : Why?
Frank Dulaney : l'm your lawyer. lt doesn't look good.
Rebecca Carlson : Nobody's looking.
-
Frank Dulaney : l want you to remember that Rebecca Carlson is not on trial for her sexual tastes.
-
Frank Dulaney : Dr. McCurdy, you testified that in your opinion Mr. Marsh suffered his fatal heart attack while he was restrained.
Dr. McCurdy : Yes, sir.
Frank Dulaney : And your evidence for this is the marks on his wrist, am l right?
Dr. McCurdy : You are correct.
Frank Dulaney : Now, couldn't those same marks have been made while he was flailing about in the throes of sexual ecstasy?
Dr. McCurdy : l suppose.
-
Judge Burnham : Mr. Dulaney, if you're just bottom-feeding you're going to choke on the mud.
Frank Dulaney : l'm working toward a specific point, Your Honor.
Judge Burnham : Work fast. l'm getting tired of seeing you this close to me.
-
Rebecca Carlson : Yes, it would be nice.
Frank Dulaney : What would?
Rebecca Carlson : You and l making love.
Frank Dulaney : ls that what you think l was thinking?
Rebecca Carlson : There's nothing wrong with admitting that you want me, Frank.
-
Rebecca Carlson : When l was a kid, l liked to steal strawberries. l'd sneak into the neighbor's yard at the end of the street. And l remember they had a big fence. And l'd always scrape my knees climbing over it. And then on the other side, they had these wild rose bushes. And the thorns would dig into my legs and cut my thighs when l slid down. But the strawberries always tasted so sweet.
Frank Dulaney : Because of how much it hurt to get them.
Rebecca Carlson : Yeah.
-
Frank Dulaney : You expected him to come back to you after it was over?
Joanne Braslow : Men don't marry women like her.
-
Frank Dulaney : Rebecca, you heard the forensic testimony about the use of handcuffs.
Rebecca Carlson : Yes.
Frank Dulaney : What were they doing in the house? For you-- For you to use on him while you made love?
Rebecca Carlson : Andrew bought them for Valentine's Day.
Frank Dulaney : For you. For you to - use on him while you made love.
Rebecca Carlson : Yes. He liked that. He was always in charge in his life and his work. And in bed, he liked to have somebody else in charge. lt was a game we played.
-
Rebecca Carlson : You wouldn't have been as believable.
Frank Dulaney : lf l didn't fuck you?
Rebecca Carlson : lt works!
