James Spader: Alan Shore

Quotes 

• Denny Crane : I don't fear death, I never have. But I am afraid of being hooked up to a machine. All those tubes, brain... mush. Would you like to live like that?

  Alan Shore : No. If it came to that, my friend, I would... pull your plug.

  Denny Crane : Pull a plug? What kind of a death is that? I want you to shoot me!

• Alan Shore : Oh my God, you're a lawyer.

  Lester Treemont : Yes. Several of us are.

  Alan Shore : Let me tell you two things about myself. I too am a lawyer, I can be painfully vindictive and I do not play fair.

  Lester Treemont : That's three things.

  Alan Shore : See? Not playing fair already and I'm just getting started.

• Phyllis Deaver : And these private schools have become so competitive, they don't need to let anyone in who isn't perfect.

  Alan Shore : When I was in school, the closest I ever came to that appellation was to be called a perfect bastard.
