Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Ben Stone : She uses an out-of-date prison library and her work is better than anything I've seen from a Wall Street law firm.

  Adam Schiff : "The truth is ugly, so we put our prophets in prison."

  Ben Stone : Oscar Wilde?

  Adam Schiff : Charles Manson.

• Ben Stone : Ms. Boyd, you knew what you were doing when you committed the murder. I will give you manslaughter one, provided you get psychiatric treatment.

  Susan Boyd : That's absurd. There's absolutely no way that I will agree to a plea of insanity. Do you think for one instant that Dr. Donald Walsh would love somebody who's insane?

  Dominick Keith : Susan, it's not insanity, it's diminished capacity.

  Susan Boyd : I'm fully aware of the penal law, Mr. Keith. The implication is that I'm not of my right mind.

  Dominick Keith : Susan, it's the difference between eight years and 25 years in jail.

  Susan Boyd : That's meaningless to me. This is a conspiracy to keep me from Donald.

  Dominick Keith : Susan, you need help.

  Susan Boyd : You're fired. Prepare yourself, Mr. Stone. I'm taking charge of my own case.
