- Mr. Howell: What do I have to show for it? One dead son, one in jail. Both my boys, all they ever wanted was to be hardworking Americans. It doesn't make any sense. I don't even know what country I'm living in anymore.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: [to Kevin Boatman] So was killing Jeffrey Pope part of the mission?
- Kevin Boatman: How dare you stand there in your safe little job and judge me!
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: You'll be judged because you tracked down Pope and murdered him.
- ADA Alexandra Borgia: Robbie, juries are unpredictable. It's a huge risk.
- Defense Attorney Danielle Melnick: They're just trying to save face here, Robbie. Salvage one guilty plea out of this travesty.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Enough grandstanding, Danielle. It's time to stop using your clients to play provocateur. This man should have had his own lawyer from day one.
- Defense Attorney Danielle Melnick: Don't tell me how to do my job, Jack!
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: Then gamble on your own dime! Who gives a damn what you think anyway?
- Defense Attorney Danielle Melnick: Robbie, listen to me. Robbie, look at me. This jury, in this political climate, is not going to convict you after what Pope did to your brother.
- Executive ADA Jack McCoy: That is the most irresponsible statement you have ever made. Who's going to do the 15-to-life if she's wrong, Mr. Howell? And how could you ever look his parents in the eyes if a jury finds him guilty?
