L.A. Law1986

Jonathan Rollins:
You listen, Mr. Boland, we will get a judgment against you regardless of the time it takes, and we will turn the heat on you until that ice cold exterior of yours melts into liquid and when it does, we will pounce all over you!

Robert Boland:
[sarcastic] Ooooo, nice theory, hot shot. The only problem with it is that your client, Mrs. Crutcher, is 74-years-old. One thing I've learned about old people is that they don't wait very long for a settlement to come their way. They have a nasty habit of dying.

Stuart Markowitz:
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Robert Boland:
It means if you win this case, I'll appeal. If you win the appeal, I'll appeal the appeal, and so on and on. She keeps fighting, I keep holding out. The day it's finally settled, the day I finally become liquid is the day after Mrs. Crutcher croaks. Why do you think all my clients are only old people, huh?

Stuart Markowitz:
You make me sick.

Robert Boland:
I know. Spoken like a true lawyer who knows he can't get me. You want to do your old client some good? Cut your losses and take the five grand. Come on, Lisa, let's get out of here.

[Boland and his lawyer exit the conference room while Rollins slams his briefcase to the table in a rage, while Markowitz has a look of disbelief on his face]

Stuart Markowitz:
[to Rollins] Whatever it takes Jonathan... I want you to nail that bastard!
