Law & Order1990

A.D.A. Josh Lethem:
So... there it is. some of us were wondering how long it'd take the real Jack McCoy to rear his shaggy, hippy liberal head. You know, when Arthur left the Attorney General told me he wanted me sitting in that chair.

D.A. Jack McCoy:
And the mayor wanted somebody else... But I was the guy next in line for the job. This way, everybody's hands are clean... And I dont have to grind anybody's axe.

A.D.A. Josh Lethem:
Except your own.

D.A. Jack McCoy:
Josh, I think you've said enough.

A.D.A. Josh Lethem:
It's too much power for you, Jack. You can't be trusted.

D.A. Jack McCoy:
If you really believe that you shouldn't be working for me. You can resign or I can fire you. Either way, clean out your desk tonight. You're done here.
