Michael Moriarty: Executive ADA Ben Stone

Quotes 

• D.A. Adam Schiff : Who said your case is made by prepping the witness?

  E.A.D.A. Ben Stone : You did, about four hundred times.

• Claire Kincaid : At least

  [Mason] 

  Claire Kincaid : is off the air.

  Ben Stone : Oh, I don't know. Five hundred cable channels coming? He could start the Prison Channel.

• Rick Mason : Who are you? I speak for the people. I gave the Fishers their real day in court. You're a public servant. Your system gave a molester...

  Ben Stone : You serve the public better than I do? I didn't arrange to have him killed!

  Alice Sutton : Neither did my client. He had no motive.

  Ben Stone : Your client saw an opportunity, Alice.

  Rick Mason : I'm an opportunist? Thirty-eight people were shot in courtrooms last year. The show you're staging is no different than mine.

  Ben Stone : Mr. Mason, please focus. This is not a show. You have a camera, I have Attica.

  Rick Mason : Take a rest. I didn't get my nap today either. Geraldo had Nazis on the show and started a brawl, nobody indicted him.

  Ben Stone : Nobody got shot on his show. Now I'm willing to discuss a plea at the lowest charge.

  Rick Mason : Go ahead, pick that scab. I'll see you in court. Don't be late. It's live.
