  Eddie Newman : Yes.

  EADA Jack McCoy : A daring neorealist foray into Jellystone Park?

• Eddie Newman : [about Heidi]  She gave me a choice. The bears or a picture about a dog who's granted three wishes. I couldn't believe it!

  Jack McCoy : You couldn't believe what, Mr. Newman?

  Eddie Newman : I had an actress, a bankable actress, who was attached to "Bovary", but Heidi gives her $12,000,000 to do an asteroid movie instead because our marriage didn't work out!
