"Whoever she runs to wins custody."

'Make him laugh, make him cry.'

Trial by Media

'How do you plead, in twenty-five words or less?'

"Whoa, don't ask constitutional questions you don't want to know the answers to."

"Since you have already been convicted by the media, I imagine we can wrap this up pretty quickly."

'I think I'll become a lawyer.'

'When you get up on the stand be sure to keep your answers short. A whole lot of barking will only frighten the jury.'

"Boy is he good! He's even got me convinced you're guilty!"

'This could be me and you, your honor. Heading for Las Vegas!'
