Gwen Saticoy: [after the first day of her trial] ... So are you going to get a book deal when this is all over? Danielle Kline: That depends on what happens during the trial. But they might offer me one. Why? Would you be upset if I took it? Gwen Saticoy: Would you turn it down if I said yes? [Kline shakes her head no] Gwen Saticoy: Well, at least you're honest. Danielle Kline: Gwen, I've got a successful practice. I don't need a book deal. And I don't need this case, either. Gwen Saticoy: So why ARE you doing it? And don't give me that song-and-dance about my not getting a fair trial by the public defender. Danielle Kline: To be in the heart of controversy. A couple of talk shows, magazine interviews... And, best of all, every courtroom lawyer's fantasy: to be squaring off against Merle Hammond. You know how much they hate it? Gwen Saticoy: I can imagine. Danielle Kline: No, you can't. There's one other reason: you. In twenty years of criminal defense work, I've had two clients that I believed in. The other one got the chair ten years ago. Gwen Saticoy: Well, my odds really look good.
Müller: Perhaps the judge has a special love for them? Klopfer: [mutters appreciatively] Yes, yes a special love for them... very good... Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart: For whom? For Jews! Wonderful, you don't have my credentials. Forgive me, from your uniform I can infer you're shallow, ignorant and naive about the Jews. Your line and what the party rants on about how inferior they are, some-some-some sub-species, and I keep saying how wrong that is! They are sublimely clever. And they're intelligent as well. My indictment to that race is stronger and heavier because they are real not uneducated ideology. They are arrogant, they are self-obsessed, and calculating and they reject the Christ and I will not have them pollute German blood! General Reinhard Heydrich: [tries to calm Stuckart down] Please, doctor... Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart: He doesn't understand! And neither do his people. Deal with the reality of the Jew and the world will applaud us. Treat them as imaginary phantoms, evil in human fantasies, and the world would have justified contempt for us! To kill them casually without regard for the law martyrs them, which will be their victory! Sterilization recognizes them as a part of our species but prevents them from being a part of our race. They will disappear soon enough. And we will have acted in defense of our race and by the law! This fellow here mentioned the laws for the protection of German blood, *I wrote that law*! When you have my credentials then we'll talk about who loves the Jews or who hates them. Pigs don't know how to hate. I know too, when it comes to the half-mixed, that to kill them abandons the half of their blood which is German. Klopfer: I'll remember you. Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart: You should. I'm very well known.
Kaffee: [seeing Markinson in the back seat of his car] Jesus Christ! Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: You left your door unlocked. Kaffee: You scared the shit out of me. Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Just keep driving. Kaffee: Are you aware that you're under subpoena? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Yes. I'm also aware that the lives of two Marines are in your hands. If there were something I could do about that I would but since I can't the only thing I can do is help you, Lieutenant. Kaffee: Was it a code red? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Yes. Kaffee: Did Kendrick give the order? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Yes. Kaffee: Did you witness it? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I didn't need to... Kaffee: Did you witness it! Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: No. Kaffee: Then how do you know? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I know. Kaffee: Yeah, you know shit. Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: He was never going to be transferred off that base. [Kaffee turns the corner and stops the car] Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Jessep was going to keep him on the base. He said he wanted him trained. Kaffee: We've got the transfer order its got your signature on it. Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I know. I signed that the morning you arrived in Cuba five days after Santiago died. Kaffee: I'm going to talk to the prosecutor. I'm going to get you a deal some kind of immunity and in about 4 days you're going to appear as a witness for the defense and you're going to tell the court exactly what you just told me. In the meantime I'm going to get you into a motel room and we're going to start from the beginning. Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I don't want a deal and I don't want immunity. I want you to know that I am proud neither of what I have done nor what I am doing.
Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: 1937: Hitler joins the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. In 1938, he acquired the spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ. He who holds it becomes invincible. Hitler's power increases tenfold. 1943: President Roosevelt decides to fight back. The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is born. 1958: the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler. John Myers: 1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45. Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: [amused] Did he now?
Gilderoy Lockhart: Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... me. Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him.
Coach Orion: [picks hockey puck up off the ice and addresses the Ducks] What's the one thing all great teams have in common? Lester Averman: Great coaching. Coach Orion: [unamused] Don't try to suck up to me, Averman. [pause] Coach Orion: Defense. See, unlike scoring, defense never quits. But to play great defense you need one thing above all else. Lester Averman: [sarcastically, to Goldberg] Bet it starts with a W. Coach Orion: Confidence. Listen, if you learn nothin' else when you're here, you learn this, all right? This is not just about hockey. It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose! That's how you gain the confidence to attack the game when the puck isn't yours. That's how you attack life... even when you think you don't have any control. And that's how you play real defense.
Zoe Perez: Sir, if you're planning on pulling me off the Shaw case... Defense Secretary Callister: [interrupts] Agent Perez, for the first time, you're being brought in the loop on this one.
Gwen Saticoy: [En route to the Osborne residence] ... You used to be a prosecutor. Why'd you change sides? Merle Hammond: Same reason everyone does. Money. Gwen Saticoy: Doesn't it ever feel strange, defending people you used to prosecute? Merle Hammond: ...I learned some of my best tricks in the DA's office. Gwen Saticoy: Is that a term they teach in law school? "Trick"? Merle Hammond: I can feel that sanctimonious lecture on truth and ethics just hovering over those self-righteous lips of yours. Gwen Saticoy: ...I'm curious: Is the whole point to trick everybody? The judge, the witnesses, the jury? Merle Hammond: Juries aren't bright enough to trick. After all, these are people too dumb to figure a way out of jury duty. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; as far as I'm concerned, the dumber they are, the better. Gwen Saticoy: Okay... Let's say I get a group of shoppers from the grocery store. I take them to a hospital, where two neurologists are trying to figure out whether to operate on a patient's frontal lobe, or his cereberal cortex. After the doctors explain the pros and cons of each operation to these shoppers, they still have no idea what should be done... Would you consider THEM dumb? Merle Hammond: The jury's obligation is to render a decision based on the facts presented. Nonetheless, I find your defense of them admirable; it isn't often you hear someone speak so highly of sheep. Gwen Saticoy: Well, as one of their shepherds, don't you feel any responsibility when they end up roaming aimlessly in some field... far off the mark? Merle Hammond: I don't give a damn where they wind up, or how they got there, so long as I win. In law school, you learn LAW; in the *courtroom,* you learn SURVIVAL. Your job is to *get your client off.* And believe me, if I were defending YOU on a murder charge, you wouldn't want it any other way... Whenever anyone preaches about a "fair trial," what they really mean is one that ends in their favor. *That* makes it fair.
Mickey: You should really deal with your trust issues Sid: I mean, poor Derek. He's completely innocent and such a nice boy too. He's bright and funny and handsome. Decent singing voice. And he was going to be a doctor. This is just the kinda boy you'd like to take home to mom. If you had a mom. Sydney: Fuck you! Mickey: Oh, so vulgar! Did Billy let you talk to him this way? Sydney: Billy was a sick fuck just like you! Mickey: No. Billy was a sick fuck who tried to get away with it. Mickey is a sick fuck who wants to get caught, yea! Ya see I got my whole defense planned out. I'm gonna blame the movies. Pretty cool huh? It hasn't been done before. You see, this is just the beginning, a prelude to the trial. Cuz see that's where the real fun is 'cause these days it's all about the trial. Can you see it? The effects of cinema violence on society. I'll get Dershowitz or Cochran to represent me. Bob Dole on the witness stand in my defense. Hell the Christian Coalition'll pay my legal fees. It's air tight Sid. I'm an innocent victim. Sydney: You're a psychotic. Mickey: Yeah, well. Shh... [whispers] Mickey: that'll be our little secret. Cause people love a good trial. It's like theater. They're dyin' for it. And I've worked hard to give the audience what they want. See that's what Billy was good at. He knew... It's all about... execution.
Sydney: Billy was a sick fuck just like you. Mickey: No Billy was a sick fuck who tried to get away with it. Mickey is a sick fuck who wants to get caught. Yeah! See, I got my whole defense planned out; I'm gonna blame the movies.
Vinny Gambini: I object to this witness being called at this time. We've been given no prior notice he would testify. No discovery of any tests he's conducted or reports he's prepared. And as the court is aware, the defense is entitled to advance notice of all witness who will testify, particularly those who will give scientific evidence, so that we can properly prepare for cross-examination, as well as give the defense an opportunity to have his reports reviewed by a defense expert, who might then be in a position to contradict the veracity of his conclusions. Judge Chamberlain Haller: Mr. Gambini? Vinny Gambini: Yes, sir? Judge Chamberlain Haller: That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection. Vinny Gambini: Thank you, sir. Judge Chamberlain Haller: Overruled.
Kelly: Is something wrong? Mr. Frank Kapowski: Afraid so. World peace broke out. Kelly: That's good isn't it? Mr. Frank Kapowski: For the world, yes, but not if you work at a defense plant.
Alvin Mack: Hey Bud is it true, Joe's out four fuckin' games? Bud-Lite Kaminski: Yea. Alvin Mack: Shit, defense is gonna have to pitch shut-outs now... [to Lattimer] Alvin Mack: And you're gone for three? What the hell did you take that shit for? Steve Lattimer: Nobody seemed to mind when I was laying people out! Alvin Mack: Sh*t, I bust chops too, you don't see me all fu**ed up! Steve Lattimer: Not everybody has your ability Alvin, you do what you do to play! Alvin Mack: Well you ain't playin much now are ya?
Osmosis: Yo, where do you think you're going? Drix: To get our cootie. Osmosis: Looking like that? They'll tear you apart. You gotta get spiffy. Drix: Spiffy? [Osmosis rearranges himself to look like a germ] Osmosis: Check it out! Drix: Hmm. Flexible cellular dynamics. What an ingenious defense mechanism. Ooh, let me try! [Drix tries, only succedes in mangling his face] Drix: What do you think? Osmosis: I think you should guard the car.
David Drayton: [seeing a bunch of soldiers speeding past them] Guys from the base. Brent Norton: From up the mountain? David Drayton: Uh-huh. Brent Norton: The arrowhead project? Well, you're a local - any idea what they do up there? David Drayton: Missile defense research, you know, I'm sure you've heard the stories. Brent Norton: I'm sure the woman at the laundry mat says that they have a crashed flying saucer up there with frozen alien bodies. David Drayton: Right, Ms. Edna. Yeah. Ms. Tabloid! "I had Bigfoot's baby". "Satan's face appears in oil well fire". You know, real reliable stuff.
[first lines] Title Card: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the WTC." - National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice Title Card: "There were lots of warnings." - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Title Card: "No warnings." - Press Secretary Ari Fleischer Title Card: "Your government failed you, and I failed you." - White House Advisor Richard Clarke Narrator: March 13, 1962. Lionel Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presents a proposal to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara named Operation Northwoods. The Document proposes staging terror attacks in and around Guantanamo Bay to provide a pretext for military intervention in Cuba. The plans included: starting rumors... staging a terror campaign in Miami, Florida and Washington, DC, and finally, destroying a drone aircraft over Cuban waters. The passengers, federal agents in reality, would allegedly be college students on vacation. A plane at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a registered civil aircraft belonging to a CIA front in Miami. The duplicate would be substituted for the real plane and loaded with the passengers. The real plane would be converted into a drone. The two planes would rendezvous south of Florida. The passenger laden plane would land at Eglin Airforce Base to evacuate its passengers and return to its original status. The drone would pick up the scheduled flight plan and, over Cuban waters, transmit a mayday-signal before being blown up by remote control. - The plan is rejected by McNamara and President John F. Kennedy removes Lemnitzer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff month later. Narrator: December 1, 1984. A remote controlled Boeing 720 takes off in Edwards AFB and is crashlanded by NASA for reseach. Before its destruction the plane flew unmanned for a total of 16h 22 min including ten takeoffs, 69 approaches, and 13 landings.
Coach Davis: Offense sells tickets. Defense wins games !
Alan Dershowitz: We've got two big problems here. The case against him is very strong but more importantly is the absolute certainty that Claus is guilty, finding grounds for reversal won't be enough here. Judges on the Rhode Island Supreme Court will have to go home to their wives and explain to them why they reversed. To do that we have to totally obliterate the States case so that they have no other reason to affirm. Total victory or we are dead in the water. Now, I assumed you've all had a chance to go over the transcripts and materials, first impressions? [Minnie raises her hand] Alan Dershowitz: Yeah, Minnie. Minnie: I think this whole case stinks! I think Von Bulow stinks! He's obviously guilty of something pretty despicable and if we free him we become his accessories, accomplices after the fact. I'm really shocked with your reputation for defending the poor and oppressed that you've taken this case. [Stands up] Minnie: I won't have anything to do with it, and I hope my fellow students won't either. Alan Dershowitz: Can I exercise my first ammendment right to free speech? If lawyers only defended innocent clients there would only be 12 defense attorneys and none of you would be able to find a job. Minnie: Why help guilty people get off? Alan Dershowitz: Oh you're sure he's guilty, 100% sure? Minnie: He had a lawyer. He had a trial. He was convicted. Alan Dershowitz: Are you sure he had a fair trial? Minnie: Come on! Alan Dershowitz: It's the basis of the whole legal system! Everyone gets a defense. So the system is there for the innocent person falsely accused. Ok, say it's you Ok? [referring to Minnie] Alan Dershowitz: You decide you're gonna get a divorce, you're gonna divorce your husband. A week later you're accused of child abuse. [Minnie smiles in disbelief] Alan Dershowitz: Oh, no don't give me that people do it all the time. Suddenly you're alone it's a disaster. Everyone thinks that you are guilty. Even the mailman is looking at you a little funny. There's only one person who can help you. There's only one person who you can trust, your lawyer. Minnie: Yeah, ok, so someone has to defend Claus. But why you, why us? Alan Dershowitz: Look, you're my student, you, you have a choice. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do; that is your choice. The reason I take cases and here unlike most other lawyers, who are not professors and therefore have to make a living: I take cases because I get pissed off, and I am pissed off here. The family hired a private prosecutor: unacceptable! They conducted a private search! Now if we let them get away with that, rich people won't go to the cops any more. You know what they're going to do? They're going to get their own lawyers to collect evidence, and then they are going to choose which evidence they feel like passing on to the DA. And the next victim isn't going to be rich, like Von Bülow but it's going to be some poor schnook in Detroit who can't afford, or who can't find, a decent lawyer. I think it's a little more complicated than your simple moral superiority, hmm?
Ross: I had a dream last night where I was playing football with my kid. Joey, Chandler: That's nice. Ross: No, no, with him. I'm on this field, and they, they hike me the baby. I know I've gotta do something 'cause the Tampa Bay defense is comin' right at me. Joey: Tampa Bay's got a terrible team. Ross: Right, but, it is just me and the baby, so I'm thinkin' they can take us. And so I uh, I just heave it downfield. Chandler: What are you crazy? That's a baby! Joey: He should take the sack? Ross: Anyway, suddenly I'm downfield, and I realize that I'm the one who's supposed to catch him, right? Only I know there is no way I'm gonna get there in time, so I am running, and running, and that, that is when I woke up. See, I am so not ready to be a father. Chandler: Hey, you're gonna be fine. You're one of the most caring, most responsible men in North America. You're gonna make a great dad. Joey: Yeah, Ross. You and the baby just need better blocking.
Grant Taylor: Will someone tell me how we lost to Dewey County 21 to 7? 21 TO 7! Dewey County hasn't beaten Shiloh since you were in kindergarten! I don't know what you call that junk out there, but it sure wasn't football. Nine dropped passes, four fumbles, three interceptions. THEIR DEFENSE SCORED MOST OF THE POINTS! YOU GAVE THE GAME AWAY! You can't win football games if you don't play together as a team! You can't win games when you're more concerned about what you're doing afterwards! And you can't learn the plays when you miss practice cause you're sitting in detention! I'm sick of the apathy on this team! If we're not here to win football games, then WHY ARE WE HERE?
Vinny Gambini: Ms. Vito, it has been argued by me, the defense, that two sets of guys met up at the Sac-O-Suds, at the same time, driving identical metallic mint green 1964 Buick Skylark convertibles. Now, can you tell us by what you see in this picture, if the defense's case holds water? [Lisa examines the picture] Vinny Gambini: Ms. Vito, please answer the question: does the defense's case hold water? Mona Lisa Vito: No! The defense is wrong! Vinny Gambini: Are you sure? Mona Lisa Vito: I'm positive.
[first lines] Department of Defense worker: Dude, dude...no, I was like..."Yes, we *do* have nuclear missiles", and he was all like "No, you don't", and I was all like "Yes, we do." "Whatever." And I was like "Well, what part of 'whatever' do you not get?"
Coach Rigg: Papke, what kind of defense are they using? papke: A double double. Coach Rigg: A double... double, well it doesn't matter anyways.
White House General: [after hearing the president] My God! Is he saying what I think he's saying? Vice President Kathryn Bennett: If we're going to act, we have to act now. Defense Secretary Walter Dean: It's too risky. Vice President Kathryn Bennett: The president is up there with a gun to his head. General Northwood: He asking us to do that to Air Force One? Vice President Kathryn Bennett: He's not asking. Your Commander-in-Chief has issued a direct order. Do it!
Vinny Gambini: Sheriff Farley, uh... what'd you find out? Sheriff Dean Farley: On a hunch, I took it upon myself to check out if there was any information on a '63 Pontiac Tempest stolen or abandoned recently. This computer readout confirms that two boys, who fit the defendants' description, were arrested two days ago by Sheriff Tillman in Jasper County, Georgia, for driving a stolen metallic mint green 1963 Pontiac Tempest, with a white convertible top, Michelin Model XGV tires, size 75-R-14. Vinny Gambini: Is that it? Sheriff Dean Farley: No. A .357 Magnum revolver was found in their possession. Vinny Gambini: Sheriff Farley, just to refresh the court's memory, what caliber bullet was used to murder Jimmy Willis? Sheriff Dean Farley: .357 Magnum. Vinny Gambini: The defense rests.
Cozy Carlisle: Karmically, self-defense is quite cool.
Narrator: June, 2001. The Department of Defense initiates new instructions for a military intervention in the case of a hijacking. It states, that for all non-immediate responses the Department of Defense must get permission directly from the Secretary of Defense.
Yaz: Offense gets the glory... Yaz: ...But defense wins the game.
Jeff: In defense of my in-laws, my in-laws are nuts. But I know why they're nuts. It's because a long time ago, they turned to each other and said "Hey, why don't we have children?"
Dave: According to the OMB, we have seventeen defense contractors who are delinquent in their contracts. Is this true, Frank? Director of OMB: Uh, I believe so, yes. Dave: So, even though they're late, we keep paying them on time? Director of OMB: Well, in a sense... yeah.
Dolores Umbridge: [during an inspection] You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct? Severus Snape: Yes. Dolores Umbridge: But you were unsuccessful? Severus Snape: [with annoyance in voice] Obviously.
[as the Hammer heads for Zion] Lock's Lieutenant: Sir, their EMP could take out every sentinel up there. Lock: It'll take out more than that. It'll wipe out our entire defense system. We blow an EMP inside there, we'll lose the dock. Lock's Lieutenant: Sir, we *already* lost the dock.
[North's parents lay unconscious] Attorney: Your honor, the defense rests.
Coach Yoast: All right, now, I don't want them to gain *another yard!* * You blitz... all... night!* If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, *forever*, the night they played the Titans! [defense cheers] Coach Yoast: Leave no doubt!
Defense Attorney: Do you engage in sex in public places with ALL your friends?
Comms officer: I have the Secretary of Defense calling for you. Major D.H. Hathaway: I bet you do.
