The Lincoln Lawyer/Funny
- From the book, while Haller is being stretchered out of his apartment after Mary Alice Windsor shot him:
Detective Lankford: Don't flatline on us now. If we end up giving a defense lawyer mouth-to-mouth, we'll never live it down. |
- The Running Gag joke:
"What's the difference between a catfish and a defense attorney? One's a bottom-feeding scum sucker. The other's a fish." |
- Minton's cross-examination of Mr. Talbot, the first man who was in Reggie Campo's apartment that night. (Although Talbot's off-color comments come dangerously close to causing the judge to find him in contempt).
Minton: Mr. Talbot, could you please describe the physical state Ms. Campo was in when you left her shortly before ten o'clock on the night of March sixth? |
- Detective Booker's deadpan answer to this question by Haller while he was on the stand:
Haller: Would any of the outfits you saw in the closet have been appropriate to sadomasochistic sexual activities? |
- Judge Fullbright's outraged reaction to Minton dragging the jailhouse snitch onto the stand, the moment she gets council back in her chambers:
Fullbright: Mr. Minton, what the fuck have you done to my trial? |
- When Minton returns with a motion to dismiss:
Fullbright: In the matter of the state versus Louis Ross Roulet, I understand from my clerk that we have a motion. |
