Jason Kravits: A.D.A. Richard Bay

Quotes 

• A.D.A. Richard Bay : I'm only talking about a humane way of getting the testimony. This does nothing to my burden ...

  Eugene Young : We won't agree. Get an order if you want, but like Ellenor says, we aren't about to make things easier.

  A.D.A. Richard Bay : How stupid of me to expect you people to be decent or humane. You think you're heroes, playing a part in the criminal justice system, the crusaders against depression. Well, you might have started out that way but look at you now. The day to day stench of your clients has rubbed off, you're every bit as vile and contaminated as the murderers and rapists you defend! You bring no dignity to law, you proffer disgrace. Where you might once have been noble, you've- you've sunk into a sinkhole of disrepute where your only idealism is get the guy off even when it offends human nature, where it insults morality! You're so lost in the inferno of crime and dishonor, you become sickening animals, repugnant to everything that's good about this country, everything this nation celebrates in the spirit of humanity! You are sick, awful vehicles of hate! If there is a god, he will get you, you sleazy, cancerous, infected, malignant, grotesque snakes!
