Brad Chase: There's been no claim for punitive damages, only compensatory. But our fear was the jury could be so outraged, they might artificially inflate compensatories as a de facto puni, so we opted to bifurcate. Separate juries - one for liability, one for damages. The client concurred. Alan Shore: Do you do tongue push-ups?
Paul Lewiston: In re Christine Pauley. Alan Shore: Mine. Ex-girlfriend. Tried to kill me. Paul Lewiston: This is the commitment proceeding? Alan Shore: She was committed. This hearing is to secure her release. Lori Colson: Wait a second. She tried to kill you? Alan Shore: She did. Lori Colson: And now she wants out? Alan Shore: She does. Lori Colson: And you're trying to help her get out? Alan Shore: I am.
Paul Lewiston: What's this case about, Denny? The deposition you're about to conduct. What's it about again? Denny Crane: A man died during angioplasty, leaving him dead. Tragic.
Lori Colson: A woman tries to kill you. You go to represent her. You don't think there's a pathology at play here? I refer to yours. Alan Shore: I got the reference. Thank you. Speaking as an enormously unlikeable person, I find it difficult to maintain grudges against all those who wanna kill me. Don't you?
Brad Chase: Damn it, Denny. You're way out of line. This woman has just lost a husband. You're asking her questions about her sex life, her perfume. Denny Crane: I know what I'm doing. Brad Chase: Which is? Denny Crane: It'll come to me.
Christine Pauley: You didn't have to get me a hotel room. Alan Shore: I didn't. You're staying in my place. Christine Pauley: I beg your pardon? Alan Shore: I won't get fresh. Christine Pauley: You live in a hotel? Alan Shore: I do. Christine Pauley: What happened to your big grotesque house with your more grotesque swimming pool and your even more grotesque rumpus room? Alan Shore: I sold it. I require a lot of fresh towels and nightly turndown service. Christine Pauley: Why would you live in a ho---. Oh, I , I see. The comfort of being able to check out on a whim. You know, as much as you explained it, you've never really explained it. Alan Shore: I demand only one thing in a relationship, Christine. That I remain utterly alone. Christine Pauley: Nice out, Alan. Alan Shore: I'm sorry? Christine Pauley: Even in conversation, you always have a nice out.
Sally Heep: Brad? Alan Shore: Funny. You'd like me to feel threatened, wouldn't you? I may not be able to talk as fast, but my tongue is certainly more versatile.
Alan Shore: I'm afraid something's come up. Sally Heep: Oh, don't tell me- Alan Shore: Her flight left an hour ago. She's gone. So. Shopping. Maybe not shoes. But something….slippery to perhaps slide out of later. Sally Heep: I'm not that easy. Alan Shore: Well, I am.
Sally Heep: Do you feel responsible for her being in there? Alan Shore: I certainly was a precipitating factor. Sally Heep: Is she well now? Alan Shore: I think so. But perhaps I'm inclined to believe that. You might come to value my latitude on these matters a little more fully on the day you try to kill me. Sally Heep: I miss you. I have a friend who has this amazing house in Vermont. Maybe for Columbus weekend we could sneak up there. Alan Shore: I love Vermont. Would you allow me to cover your body in maple syrup?
Paul Lewiston: Congratulations. Denny, I--- Denny Crane: I accept your congratulations. Don't linger like we're friends. Paul Lewiston: We used to be friends. We used to sit out on balconies at night as kids and criticize each other's openings and closings. Remember those days, Denny? When we were open to each other's criticism and candor? Denny Crane: "Open" was a funny choice of word. You an "out in the open" sort of fellow, Paul? Paul Lewiston: You know exactly what sort of fellow I am. Denny Crane: I'm still a good lawyer. Paul Lewiston: Yes. You are. You remember Muhammad Ali's last fight? We had ringside seats. He lost so pathetically to Larry Holmes. We were so crushed. The tragedy that night, Denny, wasn't that he couldn't still box. He could. The tragedy was that he still thought he was Ali. You're a good lawyer, my friend. You're just not Denny Crane.
