Do not confuse my legal arguments with what I believe in. I have one purpose and that's keeping your grandson out of prison. That's the problems with you idealists.

Nick: A separated man living in a crappy apartment? What do you think? Buy a house bigger than hers. Maybe not a house, a compound. Something really huge.
Pete: Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen.

Pete: Wiped the floor with this fancy lawyer. Chewed him up and spit him out.
Nick: Well, he could see who he was up against. Why else do you think he was trying to bury us in paper work?
Pete: Not trying. He has succeeded. Ugh, I can't breathe.
