Patti: Objection! Condescending.
Eli: It was not!
Patti: I have been a legal secretary ever since you were an itch in your daddy's pants. I know an objectionable question when I hear one.

Dr. Chen: Lie down.
Eli: Is it needle time? I love needle time.
Dr. Chen: You're never allowed to call it needle time again.

Eli: (pointing to George Michael) Brad, do you know who this is?
Brad: Yes, Bono!

Eli: What was the song again?
George Michael: I Want Your Sex.
Eli: Sorry, you're not my type. (chuckles) It's a joke.

Eli: If you don't mind me asking, why me? Why did you come to me?
George Michael: Well, you might think I'm the odd one now. But (brief pause) the other night I had a dream, and in the dream I was completely lost when someone told me I needed to find a lawyer. (pauses) Named Eli Stone.

Eli: Sir, you're unusually quiet. Are you feeling okay? (touches Jordan's sleeve)
Jordan: I feel fine. Don't ever touch me again.

Eli: It's a welcome-back gift from your personal week. How was it?
Patti: Personal.

Maggie: I just want to thank you for asking me to join you on this case. I've mostly worked under men at the firm, Like Eli. But I've always thought that I'd really benefit from the experience of working besides an older woman. Not "older" as in "old," I meant older as in "seasoned."
Taylor: I'm beginning to understand why you eat lunch at your desk alone.

Eli: Patti, do you notice something strange about Maggie?
Patti: I don't notice anything other than strange about that girl.

Maggie: Did you ask me to work on this case with you so you wouldn't have to work on it with Matt?
Taylor: If I answer "no," would that prevent you from ever uttering a word of this to Eli?

(to Eli) Don't say it. You even start to say "I told you so" and I am violating my Hippocratic Oath on your jaw.
