Quotes 

• Michael Kuzak : Sorry.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, well, welcome back, Brother Kuzak. Freshly returned from exile.

  Michael Kuzak : Thank you, thank you.

  [Leland is so happy to welcome Kuzak back to the firm] 

  Arnie Becker : Boy, did that month fly by...

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : I take it you're all ready to plunge into your defense the nudist colony.

  Michael Kuzak : Yeah, I just came from there. We're ready for trial.

  Victor Sifuentes : Ready for trial? Do I detect a little unauthorized practice of law at home here?

  Michael Kuzak : Certainly not. My suspension ended on Friday and I prepared over the weekend.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, in the interest of the firm and a client, I wish you good luck, but as a purely personal observation. I wouldn't want those perverts prancing around my neighborhood either.

  Arnie Becker : Check out the centerfold of this month's Flamingo, Mike. It's your star witness.

  Michael Kuzak : Yeah, thanks, but... I've already seen the evidence.

• Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Moving along, Malay vs. Century Partners Limited.

  Stuart Markowitz : That's actually, uh, Abby's case. I'm doing a little tax work on it for her.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Abby Perkins is hiring McKenzie, Brackman to work for her?

  Stuart Markowitz : That is correct, Douglas.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Am I assuming we're to be compensated for these services?

  Stuart Markowitz : Also correct, you're assuming that.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Ben Ray, Jamie Ferguson?

  Victor Sifuentes : Doctor takes the stand today.

  Ann Kelsey : How's it going, Victor?

  Victor Sifuentes : It's rough, Ann. Real rough.

  Michael Kuzak : This is the girl in the coma, right?

  Victor Sifuentes : Mm-hmm.

  Stuart Markowitz : Forgive me, but I can't see forcing anybody to stay alive like that.

  Ann Kelsey : Euthanasia's illegal, Stuart. You can't just kill somebody because...

  Arnie Becker : Even her parents want her to die.

  Victor Sifuentes : So where do we draw the line? First we stop killing coma patients, and then what? Babies with down syndrome? Retarded people?

  Jonathan Rollins : Come on, Victor, the woman's practically brain-dead. If your own parents wanna pull the plug, who are you to say no?

  Leland McKenzie : Now we are representing the hospital. This is the firm's client, not just Victor's. Which means to the extent that this draws any questions from the press directed anyone of you, you recite the company line, your personal feelings aside. On-the-record, we stand committed to keeping Jamie Ferguson alive. On-the-record, the taking of a human life is wrong. That is the client's position therefore it is our position. Are we understood?

  Arnie Becker : Yeah.

  [Dorothy listen quietly] 

  Leland McKenzie : Good. Move along, Douglas.

  Douglas Brackman, Jr. : That's it. We're adjourned.

  [They are all dismissed with the Conference meeting]
