Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series)

Entitled (2000)

Angie Harmon: ADA Abbie Carmichael

Quotes 

• Patrick Rumsey : My client pleads not guilty, Your Honor.

  Judge Barry Abrams : I assume the people ask for bail?

  Jack McCoy : We ask for remand, Your Honor.

  Patrick Rumsey : You're joking?

  Jack McCoy : We have information the defendant's family obtained an expedited passport for her only yesterday.

  Abbie Carmichael : As you know, also, Your Honor, she has unlimited financial resources

  Judge Barry Abrams : I think we're all aware of that, Ms. Carmichael.

  Abbie Carmichael : Therefore, we believe she's a serious flight risk.

  Patrick Rumsey : Your Honor, this is incredible.

  Judge Barry Abrams : I agree. I find it incredible that this young woman should have so lowered herself to the standards by which she was raised. And I find it believable that she would put herself above the law. I don't intend to have Ms. Mulroney gallivanting around Europe like some jet-set fugitive. Not on my court's record. Bail is denied and I intend to remand the defendant to the Department of Corrections.

• Captain Donald Cragen : Cocaine users, last I heard, were prone to distorting the truth. She lied to us about when she met the victim, she lied about her trauma the morning after the shooting so Mommy Dearest could put her on ice

  Jack McCoy : Hail Regina. Queen of the Mulroney clan.

  Captain Donald Cragen : I've had it up to here with these people.

  Abbie Carmichael : [to Cragen]  What about your composite of the shooter?

  Captain Donald Cragen : What about it, Abbie?

  Abbie Carmichael : Well, it's based on her eyewitness account. If she's so unreliable, where does that leave you?

  Captain Donald Cragen : With her. We think she's the shooter. Like I told Schiff, motive, opportunity. Okay, now she told us she was changing the radio station when this black-rimmed guy appeared, okay? But she can't remember what song was playing. You change the station when something is on that annoys you! These are things you remember. She's zooming us, Jack.

  Abbie Carmichael : A .44 is a big gun. The whole idea of her shooting him from behind begs credulity.

  Jack McCoy : She didn't have to pull the trigger. We'll have to deal with damage control from Schiff. And the Press and security after the arraignment.

  Abbie Carmichael : Jack, these are powerful people. They're magnets for weirdos.

  Captain Donald Cragen : [to McCoy]  You're going for it?

  Jack McCoy : Making false statements, luring a guy to his death for revenge. We'll go murder two, and then we'll flip her on the shooter.

• Reporter #1 : Mr. McCoy, any response to that?

  Jack McCoy : I'm sorry, to what?

  Reporter #1 : That holding Ms. Mulroney without bail is totally ridiculous?

  Jack McCoy : The Mulroney family is used to getting it's way.

  Reporter #1 : Are you saying they get preferential treatment?

  Jack McCoy : Ah, come on.

  [McCoy walks away] 

  Abbie Carmichael : We're saying they deserve all due process of the law. No more, no less.
