Regina: She's claiming self-defense. A good prosecutor could poke holes in it.
Suarez: But would they want to?

Wexler: You have what you need to make an arrest, detectives?
Killian: No sir. We do not.
Wexler: Then I am going back to enjoying my evening with my wife and my friends. And unless you have appropriate attire and $1,500 a person, I suggest you go back to your squad room in East New York and search for the perp instead of making fools of yourselves here.

Look, I've made mistakes, but I wouldn't think of spending the rest of my life with someone who was doing the things she claimed Wexler was doing.

Farris: That's insane. No judge would authorize such a broad warrant.
Suarez: An ADA has been killed, Mr. Farris. Judges are willing to be a little more flexible about Fourth Amendment concerns.

Sandeford: At the time I asked Tamika to marry me, I was all in, but I have to admit that now that I am asking people to stand up for me and to go on a honeymoon, I'm feeling a little ridiculous doing this at my age.
Yenko: I feel ridiculous sometimes. Learning Italian at my age. I still have a stamp collection. I'm auditioning for the Police Marching Band next month! But you know what doesn't make me feel ridiculous? That I love my wife and she loves me.

I have to preserve my clients' confidentiality. If I'm being elusive, I don't have much of a choice.

Farris

Detectives come after the fact. They try to find out who did what and who's lying and telling the truth. I prefer to be in the midst of things, before anyone has a chance to make up a lie.

Sandeford

Sanderford: Maybe she had a eecret life.
Bentley: What kind of secret life?
Sandeford: The kind she wanted kept secret. Detectives will go through her things, her phone, her bills. If she had a secret, they'll find it. That's the thing about getting murdered. Everything you wanted to keep secret is bound to come out.

As prosecutors, we're used to dealing with other people's tragedies. But this time it's one of ours.

Jones: Hey prosecutor lady, did Chantel ask you for that protective order?
Diane: I don't have to talk to you.
Jones: Why didn't you ask for a protective order for your own damn self?
Morales: That a threat, Mr. Jones?
Jones: I wasn't talking to you.
Morales: I don't give a damn. You threaten an ADA and I will lock your ass up right now.
