“ | Only stupid girls get pregnant. It's embarrassing. | ” |
–Christina Talbert |
“ | She's a narcissistic bitch. Forget about remorse. To her, that baby was like a peach pit passing through her system. | ” |
–Dr. Emil Skoda |
“ | Mr. Talbert, I'm having you arrested pending a contempt hearing. I've had with him, his daughter, and her boyfriend. If I could indict him as a co-conspirator, I would. This baby is dead. I hope they all go to jail for it. Place this man under arrest and get him out of my office. | ” |
–Jack McCoy arrests Warren Talbert for contempt |
- Jamie Ross: A baby's dead and no one's responsible.
- Adam Schiff: No one was responsible when it was alive, either
