Quotes 

• Claire Kincaid : [to Sarah Maslin about Spencer Talbert]  If he raped you...

  Sarah Maslin : Oh, he raped me all right. When we worked together.

  Claire Kincaid : You mean over three years ago?

  Sarah Maslin : It was late at night at the office.

  Claire Kincaid : You didn't go to the police?

  Sarah Maslin : I'm an attorney, too, Miss Kincaid. I know the drill. A rape trial boils down to "he said, she said." And when the "he" is one of the most respected lawyers on Wall Street, the "she" doesn't stand much of a chance.

  Claire Kincaid : You're an educated woman. You're articulate, strong. People would have believed you.

  Sarah Maslin : You don't get it. It wouldn't have mattered. I had a career to protect. I was still an associate at the firm. I wanted to become a partner. What difference would it make?

  Claire Kincaid : You were the victim.

  Sarah Maslin : I was involved in a scandal. Clients don't like that much in their legal advisor.
