Internal Affairs - Conflict Over Unauthorized Deal Negotiation
Amy Wallace: [conferring in private after Raymond offered immunity to Van Stretch]
You are not authorized to make this deal. It's a violation even to offer it!
Raymond Avila:
Look at him. He wants to talk. If Peck were clean, there'd be nothing to talk about.
Amy Wallace:
I am the senior partner. Your mistakes go on my file! Either you retract the offer to Van or I will!
Amy Wallace:
All right. How about this then? Why don't you and Dennis Peck both pull them out and I'll decide which one's bigger!

Pacific Heights - Conflict Over Tenant Dispute Unfolds
Stephanie MacDonald:
Why didn't you tell me you tried to force him out?
Drake Goodman:
I didn't think it mattered.
Stephanie MacDonald:
You set us back months.
Drake Goodman:
He's lying!
Stephanie MacDonald:
This guy has been playing you like a piano concerto.
Drake Goodman:
Me? What about you? I got a guy livin in my building who hasn't paid one cent! Not only can't you get him out, but now I owe him money?
Stephanie MacDonald:
Maybe you'd like to retain another attorney.
Patty Palmer: [sighs]
Stephanie. Please don't quit. Drake's been under a lot of pressure. The bank is threatening to foreclose on us.
Stephanie MacDonald:
This isn't a moral question, Patricia. Morally, you're right. You win. Big deal. This is a game and the object of the game is to get Hayes out of your building before he destroys your lives. He knows you're gonna get him out eventually. He's just trying stay there as long as he can.
Patty Palmer:
Why?
Stephanie MacDonald:
I don't know! Because it's possible. Because he's evil. What difference does it make? It's nothing personal. God forbid he ever makes it personal.

Pacific Heights - Court Documents and Unlawful Eviction Claims
Judge Mitchell Black:
In answer to your suit against him, Mr. Hayes has submitted to the court affidavits A and B confirming plaintive's attempted unlawful eviction of a Mr. Hayes on the 15th of last May.
Drake Goodman: [quietly to Stephanie]
No, I turned his gas and electricity off. There's a policeman...
Stephanie MacDonald:
Your Honor, my client and I...
Judge Mitchell Black:
Miss MacDonald, I assume you have received these documents?
Stephanie MacDonald:
Yes, I have just received them, Your Honor. I think there's been a mix up.
Judge Mitchell Black:
I think the law is quite clear on this point, don't you? Mr. Hayes is entitled to a reduction of rent due to uninhabitability caused by Mr. Goodman's misguided attempt to force him from the premises by disconnecting his utilities. Court rules for the defendant, Carter Hayes. Let the records show that according to the lease, Mr. Hayes's legal cost to be paid by the plaintiff.
Stephanie MacDonald:
Your Honor, I would like to ask for a 10-minute postponement.
Judge Mitchell Black:
Miss MacDonald, I see you have other cases before this court today. I hope you're better prepared for them. I assumed you'll wanna cooperate with the bench now in keeping things moving?
Stephanie MacDonald:
Yes, sir.
Drake Goodman:
That's it?

You gotta let somebody know where you are. I've been checking car trunks for your corpse.

JFK - Questioning the Credibility of Government Institutions
Bill Broussard: [after hearing the FBI/Oswald story]
I don't buy it, Chief. Why would the FBI cover it up? A telex that disappears from every single FBI office in this country?
Jim Garrison:
There's a word, Bill. Orders.
Susie Cox:
Or a cover up. Jesus, Bill. Don't you have enough proof of the FBI's complicity yet?
Bill Broussard:
I respect this country's institutions, like you do, Susie! How the hell can you keep a conspiracy going between the mob, the CIA, the FBI, the Army Intelligence, and who the hell knows what else when you can't keep a secret in this room between 12 people? I mean, we got leaks everywhere. We are going to trial, y'all! What the hell do we really got? Oswald, Ruby, Bannister and Ferrie are dead. Shaw? Maybe he's an agent, I don't know. But, as a covert operator in my book, he is wide open for blackmail because of his homosexuality.
Jim Garrison:
Shaw's our toehold, Bill. I don't know exactly what he is or where he fits, and I don't really care. But I do know he's lying through his teeth and I'm not gonna let go of him.
Bill Broussard:
And that's why, for those reasons, you're going to trial against Clay Shaw, chief? Well, you're gonna lose! Let's investigate our Mafia leads here in New Orleans. Now, I can buy that a hell of a lot easier than I can the government. Ruby's all mob, knows Oswald, sets him up. Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, they hire some guns and they do Kennedy. And, uh, the government doesn't want to open up a whole can of worms because it used the mob to try to get to Castro. Castro assassinated by the mob, by us, sounds pretty wild to John Q. Citizen. So they close the book on JFK. Makes perfect sense to me.
Jim Garrison:
I don't doubt their involvement, Bill, but at a low level. Could the mob change the parade route? Or eliminate the protection for the President? Could the mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back? Could the mob get the FBI, the CIA, and the Dallas Police to make a mess of the investigation? I mean, could the mob get the Warren Commission appointed to cover it up? Could the mob wreck the autopsy? Could the mob influence the national media to go to sleep? And since when has the mob used anything but .38s for hits up close? The mob wouldn't have the guts or the power for something of this magnitude. Assassins need payrolls, schedules, times, orders. This was a military style ambush from star to finish. A coup d'etat with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings.
Bill Broussard: [[Lyndon Johnson]
OK. So now you're saying ] was involved? The President of the United States?
Jim Garrison: [[w:KBR (company)|Brown and Root; [w:Cam Ranh Bay|Cam Ranh Bay]
I know this, Bill. Lyndon Johnson got $1 billion dollars for his Texas friends, ], to dredge ] for the military in Vietnam.
Bill Broussard:
Boss...
Jim Garrison:
That's just for openers...
Bill Broussard: [yelling]
Boss, are you calling the President a murderer?!?
Jim Garrison:
If I'm so far from the truth, why is the FBI bugging our offices? Huh? Why are our witnesses being bought off and murdered? And why are the federal agencies blocking our extraditions and subpoenas like we were never before?
Bill Broussard:
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe there's some rogue element in the government or something, but you're not...
Jim Garrison:
With a full-blown conspiracy to cover it up? You ever read Shakespeare, Bill?
Bill Broussard:
Yeah, I do.
Jim Garrison:
Julius Caesar? "Brutus and Cassius, they, too, are honorable men." Who killed Caesar? Ten or twelve senators. All it takes is one Judas, Bill. A few people on the inside. Pentagon, CIA, you name it.
Bill Broussard:
This is Louisiana, chief. How the hell do you know who your daddy is? Cause your mama told ya so. You are taking a crap in the wind, boss. And I, for one, am not going along on this one.
Lou Ivon:
Boss, I've had my doubts all along about Bill. He's been fighting us all along.
Jim Garrison:
Well, we need him back.
Al Oser: [[w:Hunt Oil Company|Hunt Oil]
Boss, Broussard wasted a whole damn month trying to prove that mob boys like Jack Ruby and Brady are kind of hooked up with ].
Lou Ivon:
I don't trust this guy.
Jim Garrison:
I will not hear this, gentlemen. Now, I value Bill as much as any person here. It's time we all made room for someone else's ideas, including me. Maybe Oswald is what everybody says he is and I'm just plain dumb about it.
Al Oser: [trying to discuss this situation]
I've seen him copying files, leaving here late at night.
Lou Ivon:
I just don't trust him.
Jim Garrison:
Didn't you two hear what I said?! I said I will not tolerate infighting among the staff!
Lou Ivon:
Then I'm afraid I cannot work with Bill Broussard anymore.
Jim Garrison:
Is this an ultimatum you're giving me, Lou?
Lou Ivon:
What?!
Jim Garrison:
Are you giving me an ultimatum?
Lou Ivon: [sighs]
Well, if that's what you want to call it. I never thought it would come to this. I guess I am.
Jim Garrison:
Well, then I won't have any more ultimatums put to me, Lou. I'll accept your resignation.
Lou Ivon:
Well, you sure got it. You are one stubborn son of a bitch. And you... are making a very big mistake.
Susie Cox:
Boss, aren't you being a little hard?
Jim Garrison:
No, I don't think I am, Susie. Anyone else?

Lady Bird - Success and Happiness Are Not the Same

Money is not life's report card. Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful. But that doesn't mean that you're happy.

Debbie Salt:
Excuse me, Ms. Weathers? Um? Could I have a minute?
Gale Weathers:
No.
Debbie Salt:
Just one second. I-I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanted to say I am such a big fan of your work. I just finished your book. I-I couldn't put it down. Insightful, probing... I just really, really loved your book.

Thank you.

Sure

Thanks.

I'm a writer myself. I write for the local paper, for the Post Telegram. I'm Debbie Salt. I took your seminar in Chicago last year. I was the one in the front row asking all the questions.
Gale Weathers:
Right. I thought you looked familiar.
Debbie Salt:
Oh, thank you. Um, can't wait to see the movie. You know, you must be getting quite a lot of flak on that, right? I mean, with all the violence-in-cinema issues. What is your position going to be?
Gale Weathers:
No comment.
Debbie Salt: [Gale stops]
Miss Weathers, please... I-I would... It would be such an honor for me if I could just get a quote from you for my story.---
Gale Weathers:
Okay. Begin quote:
Debbie Salt:
Great.
Gale Weathers: [quoting]
Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious.
