I went to see a play downtown one time. I got there early so I walked around. And this homeless woman asked me for money. I gave her a dollar but she wanted more. And she pointed this finger that hadn't been washed in months.... this filthy finger... at the corner. And I saw four filthy children. They were skinny like toothpicks and she said she had to buy them food. How come she gets four children and I can't even have one?

Stone: Your Honor, he's trying to argue for the warrior gene, which no court -
Matthews: I'm not going anywhere near the warrior gene.
Stone: Could have fooled me.
Judge: And me.
Matthews: My client is claiming that she is not guilty by reason of insanity, which under the statute includes involuntary intoxication.
Stone: Involuntary intoxication? That's meant for circumstances where someone's drink has been drugged.
Matthews: My client wasn't intoxicated by bourbon, but by the stuff of life itself. The genetic makeup that she inherited from her father, a serial killer.
Stone: That's nonsense.
Judge: I'm inclined to agree.
Matthews: Then let me show you.

Jeffries: Dead baby. This gets weirder and weirder.
Stone: It's a new adventure every day.
Jeffries: Yeah, well end this one quickly.

Zachariah: Now why on earth would you want to know anything about my baby bro?
Peter: Just making conversation, Zachariah.
Zachariah: I'm proud of you, Peter. I only hope that I had something to do with your quick rise to power. [lunges forward like he wants to strangle Peter] I MISS THIS.
Peter: Well, I don't. Goodbye, Zachariah.
Zachariah: Randy's dead, Peter. Or at least, that's what they tell me.

Valdez: You worked out a deal with a murderer?
Stone: I did it for the other families. Not knowing whether their daughters were alive or dead... it ground them down.
Valdez: Did it help?
Stone: Losing a child? I doubt a real funeral even helps.

Valdez: We got DNA back on Julia Keyes.
Stone: Tell Dawson and Negel.
Valdez: They thought you'd want to know.
Stone: Why?
Valdez: We got two sets of DNA. One came back as Julia Keyes. The other came back as someone named David Zacariah.
Stone: That's impossible. David Zacariah was my first high profile case. He was a serial killer I put away.

Laura: You know, the whole time I was pregnant, it never really registered that I was going to end up with a baby.
Antonio: Yeah, me and the nightmare always thought we had more time to get ready.
Laura: Every morning, I'd eat at Norma's, read the paper. It got so I was out to here but I still got a table for one. About 8 1/2 months in, it finally registered. The thing I thought was never going to happen was happening. Things were about to -
Antonio: Get crazy?
Laura: I was gonna need a bigger table.

Laura: The woman who rented the locker -
Valdez: Wait, we don't know that it was a woman.
Laura: Call me heteronormative, but statistically, this is a woman's crime.

Antonio: Name given was Nicky Neele.
Laura: That sounds real.
Antonio: About as real as the address. There is no 721 Broad Street, and he paid cash up front for five years.
