Quotes
-
Ben Stone : [a former judge has pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and is elocuting his guilt. Stone's lost his patience] Your honor, this is insufficient. The defendant is behaving as if someone else committed this crime...
Arthur Gold : You want him on his knees, Ben?
Judge Joel Thayer : Walter...
Judge Walter Schreiber : *Judge Schreiber*, to you. Now, I've heard all the dodging and weaving I can take on this one. You wore the same robes I do- you know the drill. Now, if you want to dance, you can come back and dance at a trial, so let's hear it. *All* of it.
Judge Joel Thayer : [takes a deep breath and begins] In an effort to convince Janet Rudman of my love... of the sincerity of that love...
Ben Stone : [not letting him drift this time] Judge Thayer, please answer the question. Did you threaten Molly Rudman?
Judge Walter Schreiber : [Thayer is silent. Gold, his lawyer, looks slightly panicked. And Schreiber has had it] *I require an answer.*
Ben Stone : Judge Thayer- sir, for the last time- for the *very* last time- did you threaten Janet Rudman's child?
Judge Joel Thayer : Yes.
