Quotes 

• Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : Adam, why are we pussyfooting around?

  D.A. Adam Schiff : [referring to Anderton]  The man has a 4 billion dollar war chest. Three years ago, the Atlantic Star Cable merger, he took on the SEC and won.

  A.D.A. Jamie Ross : [sarcastically]  He's rich; he's powerful; maybe we should let Robin Leach try the case?

• A.D.A. Jamie Ross : [referring to Carl Anderton]  Last year he made a surprise takeover bid for Commonwealth Airlines. One week later, he withdrew the bid, and accused the FAA and the stockholders of conspiring against him. It's classic manic-depressive behavior.

  D.A. Adam Schiff : Doesn't make sense. Runs a Fortune 500 company.

  Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : So did Howard Hughes.
