The Consequences of Unwanted Help

Edwina Cutwater: [Thrilled] Oh, Roger! I see what you mean about enjoying life! It's to be savoured!

Roger Cobb: [Seething] I am going to kill you.

Edwina Cutwater: [Hurt] I was just trying to help...

Roger Cobb: You failed! Since you started helping me, in the last twenty-four hours, I've lost my girl, my job, I've alienated my dog! I broke my sunglasses! You can't even get that kind anymore. Stop helping me!!

Edwina Cutwater: You know, you are so ungrateful. If it wasn't for me, you would get that partnership, and then you'd have to take cases like that, and kiss your father's high ideals goodbye. You'd also be married to Peggy; you call that savouring life?

Roger Cobb: Oh, look who's talking!

Edwina Cutwater: I spent my life in a sick bed. What's your excuse?

Roger Cobb: [Fuming] It's just like a dead person to say that.

Desire for Privacy and Personal Freedom

Edwina Cutwater: Well I don't see why you're getting so upset about all this.

Edwina Cutwater: You may find this hard to believe, but fondling you while you make pee-pee is not my idea of a good time.

Edwina Cutwater: Why, you presumptious ambulance chaser. Are you implying that I am not of sound mind?

Energy Vampires in the Legal Profession

Roger Cobb: [To Edwina] You're like an energy vampire. You suck the life out of people and take the fun out of being a lawyer.

Class and Opportunity in Environmental Exploitation

Roger Cobb: [After Edwina has called him a 'peasant'] Look, lady. Just because my grandfather didn't rape the environment and exploit the workers doesn't make me a peasant. And it's not that he didn't want to rape the environment and exploit the workers; I'm sure he did. It's just that as a barber, he didn't have that much opportunity.

From now on, I'm gonna be respected... by people who think they're better than I am because they're rich.
