Robert Vaughn: Carl Anderton

Quotes 

• A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Your grandson needs psychiatric help.

  Carl Anderton : Absolutely not.

  Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : I don't understand you, Mr. Anderton. We're offering him...

  Carl Anderton : What? The chance to stay in a loony bin till some state employee decides he can leave?

  [pause] 

  Carl Anderton : You know, I know what this is really all about, Mr McCoy.

  [pause] 

  Carl Anderton : You're going after my grandson to embarrass me.

  [McCoy shakes his head] 

  Carl Anderton : Yes! Personally, professionally, publicly.

  [Walks right up to McCoy] 

  Carl Anderton : I know your type. You think that to bring down a man who's accomplished something in life it builds you up. You're not going to get away with it. I put a fair offer on the table. You turn it down, I'll go public and I'll expose you for the vindictive, envious little man you really are.

  [McCoy stares at Anderton in astonishment]
