Amy Brenneman: Amy Gray

Quotes 

• Bruce Van Exel : [to Amy]  I have three rules: I don't lend money, I don't touch lettuce, I don't set people up.

  Amy Gray : You don't touch lettuce?

  Bruce Van Exel : It's cold, it's wet, it squeaks. I don't have to explain myself.

• Amy Gray : [to Maxine]  Tell me I never said the words "sippy cup" while on the verge of tears.

• Amy Gray : Mr. Harcourt, you are going to be arrested right now if you don't knock it off. What is your problem?

  ASA John Harcourt : Your Honor, my desk is piled up with "Who shot Dick" with cases that'll rip your guts out. Frankly, I never thought this one would go to trial, so I'm just a little impatient to get to the point where you tell her this is nonsense and we move on to something that matters.

  Atty. Carmen Devere : Your Honor...

  Amy Gray : Just save it. I am the only one in a position to decide what goes on my docket and what pace we go at, Mr. Harcourt, and it just so happens I'm not in a lovely mood today, so both of you better start acting like professionals because it would not take much for me to start throwing people's butts in jail. You got it? Good. Sit down.

• Amy Gray : Um, this is not complicated, folks. Mrs. Mattingly is forcing the family to go along with the practice that clearly makes them uncomfortable. It's one of those cases where the craziest person in the room runs the room because everybody else is walking around on eggshells.

  Mrs. Mattingly : [to Ms. Devere]  Can a judge call me crazy like that?

• Amy Gray : I can't really believe it's necessary for me to put on a black robe and sit behind a big desk to say it's a bad idea to breastfeed a six-year-old boy, but for some reason it is, so here it goes.

  [to Mrs. Mattingly] 

  Amy Gray : It's a bad idea to breastfeed a six-year-old boy in America in the year 2001. Now, I don't care what anyone does in other countries or what anybody did 100 years ago because I don't live there and neither do you.
