Jonathan McQuarry: [after having sex with a woman in The List] Can I ask you something? Why do you do this?::Wall Street Belle: For the same reason that men do it - the economics of the arrangement. It's intimacy without intricacy. I work past midnight almost every night.

[repeated line]::Simone Wilkinson: Are you free tonight?

Wyatt Bose: Don't think you cannot climb the wall. You're the only one guarding it.

Jonathan McQuarry: Why should I trust you... everything you told me was a lie::Wyatt Bose: Oh... not lies Jonathan... that was FOREPLAY... now you are F... !

Wyatt Bose: So do you like this work?::Jonathan McQuarry: Yea, I do. The order of it appeals to me... the symmetry... It's alright, I guess, if you like working with numbers.

Quotes:

Jerome Facher: What's your take?::Jan Schlichtmann: They'll see the truth.::Jerome Facher: The truth? I thought we were talking about a court of law. Come on, you've been around long enough to know that a courtroom isn't a place to look for the truth.

Al Eustis: You've never been here before? What kind of Harvard man are you?::Jan Schlichtmann: The Cornell kind.

[first lines]::Jan Schlichtmann: [narrating] It's like this. A dead plaintiff is rarely worth as much as a living, severely-maimed plaintiff. However, if it's a long slow agonizing death, as opposed to a quick drowning or car wreck, the value can rise considerably. A dead adult in his 20s is generally worth less than one who is middle aged. A dead woman less than a dead man. A single adult less than one who's married. Black less than white. Poor less than rich. The perfect victim is a white male professional, 40 years old, at the height of his earning power, struck down in his prime. And the most imperfect? Well, in the calculus of personal injury law, a dead child is worth the least of all.

Jan Schlichtmann: The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer winning in civil court are two to one against. Think about that for a second. Your odds of surviving a game of Russian roulette are better than winning a case at trial. 12 times better. So why does anyone do it? They don't. They settle. Out of the 780,000, only 12,000 or 11/2 percent ever reach a verdict. The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle. And you do that by spending more money than you should, which forces them to spend more money than they should, and whoever comes to their senses first loses. Trials are a corruption of the entire process and only fools who have something to prove end up ensnared in them. Now when I say prove, I don't mean about the case, I mean about themselves.

James Gordon: [To secretary] Every credit-card application we send in, we get two more in the mail. Here's one from some bank I've never heard of, in North Dekota. Fill it out. Fill them all out. It's the last great pyramid scheme in America.

James Gordon: [Regarding the case and the following settlement] Mrs. Anderson, you're looking at four guys who are broke. We lost everything trying this case.::Anne Anderson: How can you even begin to compare what you've lost, to what we've lost.

Jerome Facher: [to law students] Now the single greatest liability a lawyer can have is pride. Pride... Pride has lost more cases than lousy evidence, idiot witnesses and a hanging judge all put together. There is absolutely no place in a courtroom for pride.

James Gordon: [Seeing Uncle Pete for another loan after Schlichtmann's firm is in serious financial trouble] You'll never guess what I did last night. You'll like this. I pledged $200 to a tele-evangelist. I'm not kidding. He said, "Give and ye shall receive." I called him right up. I know, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Gordon's losing it. He's falling apart. He's probably buying lottery tickets." I bought a few, I'll admit it. I know. But, seriously, the jackpot's $45 million. That's just this week. You should see the lines out there.::Uncle Pete: [Nods to a bulge in Gordon's pocket] Is that a gun?::James Gordon: What? This? No. No, this is for you. [Empties bag that was in his pocket full of coins] My Krugerrands. I've had them forever. I want you to have them. And... this is the deed to my house. And here is Conway's and Crowley's and Jan's. See? I come bearing gifts. We really need the money.

Jan Schlichtmann: I can appreciate the theatrical value of several dead kids, I mean, I like that. Obviously, that's good. That is all this case has going for it. That's not enough. Get rid of it.

Jan Schlichtmann: The lawyer who shares his client's pain, in my opinion, does his client such a grave disservice, he should have his license to practice law taken away. It clouds his judgment. And that's a beneficial to his client as a doctor who recoils at the sight of blood.

Quotes:

Leo Morse: [to Joe] All that Cain did to Abel was murder him.

Wally: What do you mean "gangsters"? It's business.

Edna Tucker: A man could spend the rest of his life trying to remember what he shouldn't have said.

Leo Morse: I am sensible. I am calm. I'll give you my answer calmly and sensibly, my final answer. My final answer is finally no. The answer is no! Absolutely and finally no! Finally and positively no! No! No! No! N - O!

[opening lines - voice over]::Joe Morse: This is Wall Street... and today was important because tomorrow - July Fourth - I intended to make my first million dollars. An exciting day in any man's life. Temporarily, the enterprise was slightly illegal. You see I was the lawyer for the numbers racket.

Edna Tucker: You're wide open, Joe. I can see into you without looking.::Joe Morse: Don't bother; besides it's not nice to do.::Edna Tucker: More interesting than when you have a rock for a husband like mine. He's a stone, that man. Whole world are rocks and stones to him.::Joe Morse: Why tell me? Tell him.::Edna Tucker: Never tell him anything. Makes me feel unnecessary.::Joe Morse: If I make you feel NECESSARY then I'm making a mistake.

[after Joe bails his brother, Doris and the others out of jail]::Doris Lowry: You know I've got my whole life to think about now and you won't be of any help.::Joe Morse: How do you know? You know everything I touch turns to gold. It's raining out and I promised my brother to take you home.::Doris Lowry: Well, that's a lie.::Joe Morse: Well, it's not true; but I would have had he asked. You know you can't tell about your life 'til you're all through living it. Come on, I'll give you a lift. You're tired, I'm tireder. What can happen to either one of us? You tell me the story of your life and maybe I can suggest a happy ending.

Sylvia Morse: [referring to Joe] Don't have anything to do with him, Leo. You're a businessman.::Leo Morse: Yes. I've been a businessman all my life. And honest - I don't know what a business is.::Sylvia Morse: Well, you had a garage... you had a real estate business.::Leo Morse: A lot you know. Real estate business... living from mortgage to mortgage... stealing credit like a thief. And the garage - that was a business! Three cents overcharge on every gallon of gas: two cents for the chauffeur and a penny for me. Penny for one thief, two cents for the other. Well, Joe's here now - I won't have to steal pennies anymore. I'll have big crooks to steal dollars for me!

Joe Morse: Wouldn't you like to celebrate on a really large scale, Miss Lowry?::Doris Lowry: What are you celebrating, Mr. Morse?::Joe Morse: A clear conscience.::Doris Lowry: Oh, whose?

[last lines - voice over]::Joe Morse: I found my brother's body at the bottom there, where they had thrown it away on the rocks... by the river... like an old dirty rag nobody wants. He was dead - and I felt I had killed him. I turned back to give myself up to Hall; because if a man's life can be lived so long and come out this way - like rubbish - then something was horrible and had to be ended one way or another... and I decided to help.
