Victor GarberQuotes

Professor Callahan: Would you rather have a client who committed a crime malum in se or malum prohibitum?

Elle: Neither.

Professor Callahan: And why's that?

Elle: I would rather have a client who's innocent.

Professor Callahan: Dare to dream, Miss Woods. Miss Kensington, which would you prefer?

Vivian: Malum prohibitum, because then the client would have committed a regulatory infraction as opposed to a dangerous crime.

Professor Callahan: [Elle raises her hand] Well done, Miss Kensington. It's obvious you've done your homework. Now, let's look at malum prohibitum a little more closely. It has been said-- Yes, Miss Woods?

Elle: I changed my mind. I'll take the dangerous one, because I'm not afraid of a challenge.

Professor Callahan: Do you think she just woke up one morning and said, I think I'll go to law school today'?

Sam Baldwin: [about Annie] She wants to meet me at the top of the Empire State Building. On Valentine's Day.

Suzy: It's like that movie.

Sam Baldwin: What movie?

Suzy: [[w:An Affair To Remember|An Affair To Remember; [Cary Grant; [w:Deborah Kerr|Deborah Kerr; starts to cry; crying more; sobbing] ]. Did you ever see it? ] and ]. She's gonna meet him at the top of the Empire State Building... only she got hit by a taxi. And he waited and waited. And it was raining, I think. And then... she's too proud to tell him... that she's, uh... crippled. And he's too proud to find out why she doesn't come. But he comes to see her anyway. I forget why, but, oh... Oh, it's so amazing when he comes to see her because... he doesn't even notice that she doesn't get up to say hello. And he's very bitter. And you think that he's just gonna walk out the door... and never know why she's just lying there, you know, on the couch... with this blanket over her shriveled little legs.

Jonah Baldwin: Are you all right?

Greg: She's fine.

Suzy: [trails off crying] Suddenly he goes, "I already sold the painting." And he like goes to the bedroom... and he looks and he comes out and he looks at her and he kind of just... They know and then they hug. And it's so...

Sam Baldwin: Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!

Greg: She's, as you just saw, very emotional.

Sam Baldwin: [[w:The Dirty Dozen|The Dirty Dozen] Although I cried at the end of ].

Greg: Who didn't?

Sam Baldwin: [[Jim Brown; [w:Richard Jaeckel|Richard Jaeckel; [w:Lee Marvin|Lee Marvin; Begins to cry] ] was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And ] and ] were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...

Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!

Sam Baldwin: [[w:Trini Lopez|Trini Lopez] And ]...

Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!

Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...

Greg: Stop.

Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...

Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.

Phil Coopers: [assuring Kate] Advisors like Matt come in, they stir the pot, they cause the criminals to react and make mistakes. That's how we build cases against the individuals that actually make a difference in this fight. It's when they're nervous, when they stop trusting their crews, when they move their money. These are all opportunities to strike. And that's the purpose of people like Matt.

Dave Jennings: Kate, this isn't something that I dreamed up myself. I don't have the authority to hire advisors, or authorize joint agency missions, or fly agents from Air Force bases. Are you understanding me? These decisions are made far from here, by officials elected to office, not appointed to them. So, if your fear is operating out of bounds, I am telling you, you are not. The boundary's been moved.

Andrews: I'm sorry I couldn't build you a better ship, young Rose.

Andrews: The ship will sink. In an hour, or so...all of this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Andrews: About half, actually. I installed these new welin type davits which can take an extra row of boats here...but it was thought, by some, that the deck would look too cluttered, so, I was over-ruled. But you can sleep soundly, young Rose. I have built a ship strong, safe and true. She is as unsinkable as it is possible to make a ship, and she can handle a collision impressively. If the ship ever is sinking, just remember what I told you about these lifeboats. You must decide to get in.
