Eli Stone2008

[Maggie has made a pre-trial motion to remove Eli from the opposing team because he claims to be a prophet]

Maggie Dekker:
Last year he predicted the Silver Terrace earthquake to some public notoriety.

Eli Stone:
Which actually supports the idea that I could be, you know... special.

Maggie Dekker:
Which is an unfair advantage in a jury trial. What juror wouldn't be swayed by the fact plaintiff's counsel counts God as one of his clients?

Eli Stone:
She's right.

Maggie Dekker, Taylor Wethersby:
[together] She is?

Eli Stone:
Insofar as the personal details of the trial attorneys may prejudice the jury.

Maggie Dekker:
Your honor...

Eli Stone:
[interrupting Maggie] So we should make sure that they don't find out that Ms. Dekker and I slept together last week.

Maggie Dekker:
That is totally inappropriate and prejudicial!

Matt Dowd:
[talking over Maggie] You dog! I knew it was just a matter of time.

Eli Stone:
Come to think of it, [indicating Taylor and Matt] she's also sleeping with opposing counsel

Maggie Dekker:
That's irrelevant!

Eli Stone:
And now she's carrying his unborn child. And did I mention that Ms. Wethersby and I used to be engaged?

Judge Marcia Phelps:
Uh, uh, uh. So basically what you're saying is, I'm the only person in this room who's not having sex with one of you. [Paul Rollins raises his hand]

Eli Stone:
And that Ms. Dekker's motion might be motivated more by personal issues than legal ones.

Maggie Dekker:
You wish!

Judge Marcia Phelps:
Enough! Save it for your inevitable reality show. If Mr. Stone does work for God, I'm not gonna chance damnation by disqualifying him. But, if I hear any of you utter one more word about prophets, prophecies, or especially who's sleeping with whom I will hold you in contempt, I swear... to Mr. Stone's boss.
