Steven Gilborn: Judge Guilder

Quotes 

• [In the courtroom] 

  Judge Guilder : Dr. Kane, are you asking me to bar the Federal Government from involvement in a discovery as significant as this one?

  Ira Kane : No, no, no. Not at all. We're asking you to make sure that the local scientists who actually made the discovery continue to play a significant role.

  Harry Block : They kept us out for almost two weeks! And we put our lives on the line to find these little guys, Your Majesty! We just want to be there for them, as they grow up.

  [He accidentally slaps Kane in the face, as though knowing Kane was going to correct him to say "Your Honor."] 

  Ira Kane : We were the first team at the meteor site, and all the initial testing was done in our lab, Judge.

  Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman : The facilities at Glen Canyon Community College are jokes.

  Judge Guilder : They weren't a joke when I went there, General.

  [the General looks shifty-eyed and embarrassed]
