Dan: You’re looking pretty good for somebody who spent a night in jail. See you already got a tattoo.
Abby: It’s temporary but somehow already super infected.

The point is you're always going to be her go-to person, her first phone call when she needs someone.

Dan

Waiter

Rand: Dan, you have insane emotional intelligence.
Dan: Rand, I have every type of intelligence.

Gurgs: She’s a lawyer visiting from England.
Olivia: Oh, a barrister! With the exchange rate, they’re worth 1.18 American lawyers.

Olivia: Wow, Gurgs. You’re really amazing at remembering people. The salt guy, this waiter. I may have to use this superpower of yours for evil.
Gurgs: You mean you want me to help you meet people? That’s not using it for evil. That’s using it for normal.
Olivia: Ah. That seems less fun, but okay.

You know what quiets the old brain? Alcohol. Nature’s snooze button.

Olivia

Evelyn: That’s how it starts. A little birthday party. Then suddenly, it’s midday raves, pill-swapping, constant hook-ups. We have to triple-chlorinate the pool! My social life, nah! I’m too busy trying to keep these horndogs from spreading the jitterbug, an STD we thought time had forgotten!
Louise: We have a good time!

Olivia: Where do you feel most safe?
Gurgs: Uh, the basement level of Bed, Bath, and Beyond; the world of aquatic birds at the Bronx Zoo; and this court.
Olivia: Yes! You love this court! It’s the thing I understand least about you, and you love Daylight Savings Time.
Gurgs: Well, I love anything that Arizona is not involved in.

You’re not taking off for the bayou without us throwing a party to say, ‘Bye, you!’

Abby

Yeah, being a judge is kind of a dream I had given up on. Think about it, I’ve been judging people my entire life for free. Now, I’m gonna get a paycheque.

Dan

Rand: Can’t wait for this courthouse tour. Is it true you guys have a vending machine that still sells cigarettes?
Abby: That’s nothing. We also have a working switchboard. No one uses it, but those nice ladies just have nowhere to go.

Night Court Quotes

Olivia: This is clearly fraud.
Abby: Well, it’s only fraud if she’s not psychic.
Olivia: Hold on. You want her to prove she’s psychic?
Neil: Yeah, I don’t know if we have time…
Abby: Well, you know what they say – there’s always time for CPLR 40.11 which allows judges broad discretion to regulate the conduct of the trial and of setting a proper decorum. Also, they gave me this fancy wooden hammer, so I kinda get to do what I want.

Abby: Oh no, Arlo forgot his nose ring.
Gurgs: That wasn’t in his nose.
Abby: Dad never mentioned that in his stories.
Gurgs: Welcome to Night Court!
