Lonnie Jackson : I'm not really sure.
Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : That's when you win but you really lose. Like this hearing: if I win, I get to say that you're competent, in which case, I get to go into another courtroom and try to prove that you did something I know you did, but at the same time I can't prove.
Lonnie Jackson : So why don't we just call it a day?
Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : It's what they call going through the motions, it's what I get paid for. So will you bear with me?
Lonnie Jackson : Sure.
