Quotes[]

  • Alvin Lawrence: Uh, Mr. McCoy?
  • Jack McCoy: Dr. Lawrence? What are you doing here?
  • Alvin Lawrence: I wanted to speak with you, if I may.
  • Jack McCoy: This is highly improper, sir. I can't talk to you without your attorney present.
  • Alvin Lawrence: But that's what I wanted to talk to you about... my attorney.
  • Jack McCoy: Ms. Gardner? What about her?
  • Alvin Lawrence: I don't think she's doing an adequate job of representing me.
  • Jack McCoy: She's doing a superb job with a difficult case. You're lucky to have her.
  • Alvin Lawrence: No. She made a mistake putting me on the stand like that. Now, the jury didn't like me. I could tell. And then, asking me who altered the records? Not that I know, but it made me look... uh... why she'd do that?
  • Jack McCoy: She had to, to preempt me asking the question.
  • Alvin Lawrence: But you didn't ask!
  • Jack McCoy: The jury knows who doctored those records!
  • Alvin Lawrence: I can't believe this is happening to me! I can't go to jail! My patients love me. They wait six months for an appointment. Don't you get it? I change people's lives. They can't just go to some other doctor. This is a nightmare!
  • Jack McCoy: Of your own making! You don't get it, do you? Good night, Dr. Lawrence.
  • Alvin Lawrence: Is there still time to strike some sort of arrangement?
  • Jack McCoy: You could plead guilty.
