Trial of the Trickster (1991)

Marsha Clark: Denise Cowan

Quotes 

• James Jesse : I've already told you, counselor. No. No. No!

  Denise Cowan : Damn it, Jesse. You are going to have to listen to me and follow my lead, or you can kiss any hope of an acquittal goodbye.

  James Jesse : So who the hell needs you anyway? I've got law degrees, too, you know. A whole trunkful of them.

• The Trickster : You call this a trial? This is nothing more than a kangaroo court without the hoppy, furry guy.

  Judge : [banging his gavel]  Order, order, order!

  The Trickster : If I were behind the bench, maybe...

  Denise Cowan : Jesse, please!

  Judge : Ms. Cowan, if you cannot control your client, I am gonna have him restrained.

  The Trickster : [showing the handcuffs on his wrists]  Restrained? What do you call these, costume jewelry?

  Denise Cowan : Jesse, shut up! It's bad enough you insist on wearing this ridiculous outfit in court. Don't blow this for the both of us.

  The Trickster : What, and disappoint my loyal fans?

  Denise Cowan : You don't have loyal fans. The only person on your side is me! And that's starting to look like a real bad career move. Your Honor, defense requests a change of venue.

  The Trickster : Are you nuts?

  Denise Cowan : I see no way that my client can get a fair trial in Central City.

  The Trickster : Leave Central City? You are crazy! I love this town. And it loves me. Why, look what I've done for it!

• Judge : That is it! You are in contempt of this court.

  The Trickster : No! I'll tell you who's in contempt. This courtroom is in contempt. The entire judicial system is in contempt. North America, the land mass, is in contempt.

  Denise Cowan : Jesse, get a grip! You're losing it!

  The Trickster : Nuh-uh, I'm perfectly sane. I am The Trickster.

  [to Megan] 

  The Trickster : And you! Pretending to be Prank when you were never my loyal sidekick.

  [leaves his bench] 

  The Trickster : This is all your fault!

  Megan Lockhart : [punches Trickster]  You're getting to be a drag, Jesse. And I am bored stiff.

  [kicks him and punches him again] 

• Denise Cowan : Jesse, remember what I said.

  James Jesse : Oh, yeah. Maybe I should be defending myself.

  Denise Cowan : Don't be a fool.

  James Jesse : I can't help it.
