The Paper Chase - Conflict Over Hotel Room Disturbance
Hotel manager:
Oh my God. What have you been doing in this room? I just had this room decorated. I'm calling the police.
Franklin Ford III:
If you kick us out, I swear to God I'll sue your Goddamn hotel for a million dollars. I'll burn it to the ground!
James Hart:
Look, I know that the piece of paper we signed down there allows you to kick us out. But if you do that, I'm going to go to the newspapers. And I'm going to tell them that we're a dope ring running through this hotel. Yeah, I'm going to tell them that, and you're not going to get any more business. Now shut up, and get out!

The Paper Chase - Discovering Hidden Academic Resources
James Hart:
I found something. There's a room above the stacks that have all the professors old notes from when they were law students here. They're just sitting there waiting. I want to see the notes... I want to see Kingsfield's notes on contracts.
Franklin Ford III: [shakes head]
Oh no, I know what you're thinking. Uh-uh.

The Paper Chase - Debate on Relationships and Academic Focus
Anderson:
I'm telling you, Hart, the worst thing you can do is get involved with a girl. By the very nature of time consuming.
Franklin Ford III:
On the contrary, it's the best thing you can do. Nothing makes you hornier than studying.
Anderson:
My father warned me about this...
Franklin Ford III:
Oh, your father's full of shit.
Anderson:
He says the celibate mind is stronger, retains more information. Third year, you can get laid all you want to.
Franklin Ford III:
Look, the best thing to do in a mess like this is to find a woman who doesn't make any demands to hang on. Hang on like hell. You grab onto her boobs, and you don't let go.

The Paper Chase - The Challenge of Academic Performance
Franklin Ford III:
Damn good.
James Hart:
It was a good answer - not a complete analysis, not a hard question - but the point is, I did it. I did it in Kingfield's class, this is a goddamn dance.
