Leland McKenzie : [referring to Brackman's assault] Well, in addition to the broken nose, he suffered facial bruising and a cracked rib.
Arnie Becker : How much did they get?
Ann Kelsey : Oh, my God.
Leland McKenzie : Well, robbery was apparently not the motive. He had $200 in his wallet when he was admitted to Cedars.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Where did this happen?
Leland McKenzie : West side, outside a restaurant, Androcles?
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Androcles?
Arnie Becker : You know the place.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Uh, yeah, it rings a bell.
Stuart Markowitz : So is he gonna miss his own awards luncheon?
Leland McKenzie : Well, I hope not. If his condition remains stable, they'll let him come home tomorrow. In his absence, we'll keep this brief. Roxanne.
Roxanne Melman : Okay, first up, we...
Tommy Mullaney : Oh, by the way. Word is, the Board of Supervisors has completed its investigation of Mr. Rogoff. As of today, our District Attorney is history.
[Both cheering]
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Yeah. Yes.
Jonathan Rollins : Yeah.
Ann Kelsey : Woo!
Billy Castroverti : Rogoff's final appeal was rejected?
Jonathan Rollins : He withdrew his appeal and got to keep his pension.
Tommy Mullaney : Hey, when did your ties with the DA's office get better than mine?

Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Hey, what a relief for Zoey, huh?
Roxanne Melman : Moving along...
Tommy Mullaney : Oh, yeah, you bet.
Leland McKenzie : Can we get started, Roxanne?
Roxanne Melman : Good idea. Uh, Paul vs. Humboldt Logging.
Leland McKenzie : Oh, yes, that's the sawmill accident.
Ann Kelsey : I'm down to my last motion.
Tommy Mullaney : Ann, they gotta revoke your Sierra Club membership because you're defending loggers?
Ann Kelsey : This time, the logging company is not at fault. The tree spiker caused the accident.
Billy Castroverti : Tree spiker?
Stuart Markowitz : An activist that drives nails into trees to keep them from being cut down.
Arnie Becker : An activist? He's a terrorist.
Ann Kelsey : He also our co-defendant.
Tommy Mullaney : Ah, co-defendants.
Cara Jean 'C.J.' Lamb : Oh, no.
Roxanne Melman : Can we move on, people?
Ann Kelsey : Thanks for the encouragement, guys.
Roxanne Melman : Okay, People, listen up! Now, Jonathan's got the McFarlane deposition, C.J.'s got Jackson vs. Foo, Tommy, you're downtown on the Velascos arraignment. Okay, any questions? That's it, we're adjourned.

Tommy Mullaney : I just got Hansen to OR my client on a third offense.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : If I'm ever up for murder, you're my first call. I got a message.
Tommy Mullaney : Oh, yeah, I know we said we'd hang on to the lot, but the offer is 60 thou, that's almost, what, double what we paid an '85.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : I need to sleep on it, Tommy. Real estate Mammoth is still going up.
Tommy Mullaney : Can't bring yourself to sell our last piece of joint property?
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : Hey, I'm still trying to profit, somehow, from our marriage.
Judge Paul Hansen : Mr. Mullaney. You're a member of the Bar panel, aren't you?
Tommy Mullaney : You know I am, Your Honor.
Judge Paul Hansen : Well, it appears this young lady is without representation. The PD's swamped right now.
Tommy Mullaney : Sure, I'll take it on.
A.D.A. Zoey Clemmons : Anything to get you out of the office.
Judge Paul Hansen : Court appreciates your assistance. Ms. Johnson is charged with felony possession of narcotics. Bail is set at $10,000.
Tommy Mullaney : Request a continuance to consult with Ms. Johnson before entering a plea.
Tasha Johnson : I'm pleadin' guilty, I don't need to consult.
Judge Paul Hansen : Miss, you need to talk to Mr. Mullaney.
Tasha Johnson : I can't make any bail, and I'm pleadin' guilty.
Judge Paul Hansen : Much as I'd like to clear my calendar, we need to do this by the book. Mr. Mullaney will explain. Continuances granted until tomorrow.
Tommy Mullaney : Now, I'm gonna read your file, and then we can talk about your plea.
Tasha Johnson : I told you my plea. Guilty.

Oz Wilson : [Talking with Tasha through the jailhouse glass. Tommy Mullaney opens the door.] Look at you here, Tasha. Makes me want to break these damn things apart. Don't lie to me. Lie to them if that's what you think you need to do. Look, be chill.
[turns to Mullaney]
Tommy Mullaney : Sorry to interrupt.
Oz Wilson : You Tasha's lawyer?
Tommy Mullaney : Mm-hm. Who are you?
Oz Wilson : You're gonna cut her a deal?
Tommy Mullaney : That's what she and I need to talk about. Excuse me.
-
Tommy Mullaney : You know, there's chill, and there's chill. Taking the fall for someone else is not too chill. I read your file.
Tasha Johnson : First time up, I'll do six months tops.
Tommy Mullaney : Who told you that? Boyfriend thinks he's pretty smart. Is he?
Tasha Johnson : As smart as your girlfriend.
Tommy Mullaney : She's smart enough to be my ex. Whose eighth of Peruvian flake was that in your freezer?
Tasha Johnson : What do you care? Huh?
Tommy Mullaney : I just don't like to see someone get taken for a ride.
Tasha Johnson : The coke was mine.
Tommy Mullaney : Oh, you knew it was there and you let in two cops without a search warrant. You seem too smart for that.
Tasha Johnson : You be smart and get me a deal.
