The Power of a Legacy War Machine
Stacker Pentecost Very effective. That tank, last of the T-90s. Chemo Alpha. First generation Mark 1. The heaviest and oldest Jaeger in the service. But make no mistake, Mr. Becket, it's a brutal war machine. And those two: Sasha and Aleksis Kaidanovsky.

Stacker Pentecost One: don't you ever touch me again. Two: don't you ever touch me again.

The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear?

Resetting the War Clock After Kaiju Attacks
Stacker Pentecost War clock. We reset it after every Kaiju attack. Keeps everyone focused. The frequency of attacks is accelerating.
Defending Molly's Game Against RICO Charges
Charlie Jaffey This woman does not belong in a RICO indictment, are you outta your minds?! She does not belong in a mob indictment, she raked a game, that’s it, for seven months two years ago. And why? Because she was giving credit in the millions and she didn’t want to use muscle to collect. She has had opportunity after opportunity to greatly benefit herself by simply telling the real stories she knows. Ok, I have the forensic imaging going back to 2007, and I'm talking about text messages, emails - movie stars, rock stars, athletes, billionaires; all explicit—some married with kids—but that’s the tip of the iceberg. What about the guy comes this close to being named U.S. Ambassador to Monaco, he’s withdrawn from consideration at the last minute, no one knows why. She does. CEOs with college-age mistresses, an SVP of an investment bank who wanted Molly to put a marked deck in the game, the head of a movie studio who texted her that a particular movie star was too black for his taste, ] didn’t have this much shit on ]! You know, she could’ve written a best seller, she could have been set for life. You know, you know she’s got the winning lottery ticket and she won’t cash it. Your office took every dollar she had in a Constitutionally fucked up seizure and then you put the IRS on her to tax what you seized? I mean, I’ve been in those strategy meetings. You broke her back so she couldn’t possibly afford to defend herself. And now she has an opportunity to guarantee her freedom by just...“providing color”...and she still won’t do it. This woman doesn’t belong in a RICO indictment, she belongs on a box of Wheaties. So yes, Harrison, I am imploring you to do the right thing. She knows nothing about the three Petes. Nothing about Taiwanchik. Nothing about RGO or insurance fraud. Between the two of us we’ve appeared in front of this judge 28 times as prosecutors and not once has he deviated from our sentencing recommendations, he’s not gonna start now. I know you’ve been putting this bust together for three years and there’s no one who doesn’t want to see mobsters go to jail, including and especially the one person in the room who’s had one of them put a gun in her mouth. Probation. Community service. Or better yet, just consider that all she did was run a poker game exactly the same way every casino in America does and drop the goddamn charges.

Misunderstanding Leads to Legal Complications
Harrison Wellstone In Mike Davidoff's phone, intercepts alone, just Davidoff, your name comes up 19 times! "We need Molly..." "Get Molly..." "Bring Molly." It strongly suggests you were important to his business, so it's hard for me to believe that someone with your savvy and obvious intellect...
Molly Bloom They're talking about the drug. "Get molly" "Bring molly" "We need molly" It's... they're talking about the drug ecstasy'.
[interrupting him]
Charlie Jaffey Shit. My office was next to yours for two years and I saw you make some bone-headed moves but I’ve never seen any prosecutor step in it the way you just did. You should thank all of the gods that there’s no physical record of that exchange.

Detectives Introduce Themselves and Exchange Information
Detective Nash Hey Winn.
[walking up to the desk]
Detective Winn That's Detective Winn to you, kid.
Detective Nash This just came for you... What?
[hands over the fax]
Fuller Fuller here.
[on the phone]
Detective Winn This is Detective Winn with the Bridge Port PD. I'm calling about a fax concerning the escape of Richard Fenton. What the hell is going on?
Fuller Yes, sir! Detective, we just received word from the hospital of Fenton's escape on Wednesday evening.
Detective Winn Why did it take three God damn days to notify us?
[outraged]
Fuller Sorry, sir. I needed to notify the board.
Detective Winn Damn! I don't believe this!
Detective Nash What is it?
Detective Winn This is a case I had three years ago. High school teacher, he got crazy obsessed with a female student. They fired him, that didn't stop him. And then when the family got a restraining order against him, he went psycho. We arrested that son of a bitch at his house. We found journals of this guy having fantasies about this girl. He had pictures of her everywhere.

Silencing Distracting Voices in Crisis
Stacker Pentecost YOU! SHUT UP! You. Keep talking.

Career Choices Driven by Personal Circumstances
Molly Bloom Why did you leave the prosecutor’s office and become a defense attorney?
Charlie Jaffey My daughter.
Molly Bloom You needed to make money.
Charlie Jaffey That and I was usually one of the few people who knew where witnesses were being hidden.
Molly Bloom It was dangerous.
Molly Bloom So you didn’t leave the prosecutor’s office because you wanted to stand up for the innocent and believe everyone’s entitled to the best defense?
Charlie Jaffey Not really.
Molly Bloom It would have been helpful if you were ] or... I didn’t know who the Russians were. I can get you the two-hundred and fifty-thousand, I left ten times that on the street, it’ll just take some time.
[[w:Spencer Tracy|Spencer Tracy; pause]
Charlie Jaffey We do pro bono work - we regularly lend out our best litigators like me to the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, veterans groups - but I don’t think I can convince my partners to take a flyer on the Poker Princess.
Molly Bloom I didn’t name myself the Poker Princess.
Charlie Jaffey “Molly Bloom, the self-proclaimed Poker Princess...”
Molly Bloom That’s Us Weekly? I agree it would be unusual for them to print something that wasn’t true but it’s not true and if you think a princess could do what I did you’re incorrect. I’m getting that you don’t think much of me but what if every one of your ill informed, unsophisticated opinions about me were wrong?
Charlie Jaffey I’d be amazed.
Molly Bloom Yeah you know what, bud? You would.
Charlie Jaffey You don’t need me, you need a publicist.
Molly Bloom No, I need a fuckin’ lawyer!
