Professor Callahan:
Would you rather have a client who committed a crime malum in se or malum prohibitum?

Elle:
Neither.

Professor Callahan:
And why's that?

Elle:
I would rather have a client who's innocent.

Professor Callahan:
Dare to dream, Miss Woods. Miss Kensington, which would you prefer?

Vivian:
Malum prohibitum, because then the client would have committed a regulatory infraction as opposed to a dangerous crime.

Professor Callahan:
Well done, Miss Kensington. It's obvious you've done your homework. Now, let's look at malum prohibitum a little more closely. It has been said-- [Elle raises her hand] Yes, Miss Woods?

Elle:
I changed my mind. I'll take the dangerous one, because I'm not afraid of a challenge.
