Arthur:
The one thing that bothered me, the one thing that stayed in my mind and I couldn't get rid of it, that haunted me, was 'why?' Why would she lie? What was her motive for lyin'? If my client is innocent, she's lying. Why? Was it blackmail? No. Was it jealousy? No. Yesterday, I found out why. She doesn't have a motive. You know why? Because she's not lying. And ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not gonna get that man today. No! Because I'm gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to f***in' jail! The son of a b*tch is guilty! That man is guilty! That man, there, that man is a slime! He is a slime! If he's allowed to go free, then something really wrong is goin' on here!

Judge Rayford:
Mr. Kirkland you are out of order!

Arthur:
You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order! That man, that sick, crazy, depraved man, raped and beat that woman there, and he'd like to do it again, he told me so! It's just a show! It's a show! It's "Let's Make A Deal"! "Let's Make A Deal"! Hey Frank, you wanna make a deal? I got an insane judge who likes to beat the sh*t out of women! Whaddya wanna gimme Frank, three weeks probation?

Frank Bowers:
DAMMIT!

Arthur:
[to Judge Fleming] You sonofabitch! You're supposed to STAND for somethin'! You're supposed to protect people! But instead you f***ing murder them!

[dragged out of court by bailiffs]

Arthur:
You killed McCullough! You killed him! Hold it! Hold it! I just completed my opening statement!
