L.A. Law1986

Roxanne Melman:
They told me my attorney was here to see me. Who are you?

Gay Halloran:
My name is Gay Halloran.

Roxanne Melman:
I don't know you. How did you get in here? They only allow lawyers.

Gay Halloran:
I'm a legal secretary at Dukalski and Goldfarb. I presented their letterhead to the guard and told them I was a lawyer.

Roxanne Melman:
Why?

Gay Halloran:
Because I wanted to tell you something about Jimmy Markham that you obviously don't know.

Roxanne Melman:
[scoffs] Let me guess. Your his wife.

Gay Halloran:
No... I'm his girlfriend. His live-in girlfriend for the past six months.

Roxanne Melman:
[thrown off guard] Oh, my God...

Gay Halloran:
I'm the one he wants to make a life with as soon as his divorce becomes final. I'm the one he reaches for in the middle of the night. Or maybe you thought that was you?

Roxanne Melman:
Something like that.

Gay Halloran:
I read all about you in the newspapers this morning about you going to jail for your insider trading boyfriend. I read all about you... with the same dumb expression that you have on your face right now.

Roxanne Melman:
[trembling] Oh, my God. I can't believe this is happening!

Gay Halloran:
Yeah well, I did not come here for the two of us to cry on each others shoulders. I was involved with Jimmy's stock deals too and the same way the feds came after you, they're gonna come after me. Only, I don't want to give back the money I made, I don't want to have to hire a lawyer, and I don't think you should spend another night here in jail. So why don't you do us both a favor and stop protecting him!

Roxanne Melman:
I love him. I trusted him. How could he lie to me after I trusted him?

Gay Halloran:
I guarantee you that last night, he never lost any sleep over it. So, your here rotting in jail, I'm expecting a subpoena any minute, and we both had our hearts stomped on! You stand fast and they come after me, I'm gonna testify and send that bastard away to prison without a second thought! Nothing heals like vengeance.
