• Ernie Carter : You know, Dan Fielding isn't his real name.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : I know. We met his parents. I think it used to be Elmore.

  Ernie Carter : Oh, not just his last name, but his first name too. It used to be Reinhold.

  Judge Harry T. Stone , Christine Sullivan , Mac Robinson , Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon , Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : REINHOLD?

• Ernie Carter : Excuse me, Mr. Fielding?

  Dan Fielding : [distracted]  Just a second, lad. I'll be with you in a moment.

  [Ernie handcuffs a briefcase to Dan's wrist] 

  Dan Fielding : Hey, what the hell is this?

  Ernie Carter : It's a bomb... Dan.

  [he opens the briefcase, showing it's full of dynamite. Dan gasps] 

  Ernie Carter : It's going off in 30 minutes.

  [Dan gasps again] 

  Ernie Carter : [holds up a remote]  Or sooner, if I push this little button.

  [Dan gasps twice] 

• Dan Fielding : Who are you? Why're you doing this?

  Ernie Carter : You don't remember who I am, do you?

  Dan Fielding : Yes! Of course I do! Roger... Steve! Bob! Bill! Joe! Rudy!

  Ernie Carter : Forget it, Fielding. You're going to go back in that courtroom and continue about your work. If you tell anyone about this bomb, then I push this button and you turn into Bake-O Bits. Got it?

• Dan Fielding : I got it! You're Everett Cunnings and I slept with three generations of your family.

  Ernie Carter : No, but I'd love to hear the story sometime.
