Reversal of Fortune1990

Alan Dershowitz:
This is the most dangerous case I have ever worked on.

Claus von Bülow:
You find that exhilarating?

Alan Dershowitz:
No, I do not. I am breaking every rule. 'Cause the best way to win is to proclaim your innocence, and I have never done that for anybody. And the problem I got is, I see who you are. You'd do anything to win.

Claus von Bülow:
So would you.

Alan Dershowitz:
Yeah, but you don't trust the legal system.

Claus von Bülow:
You're saying I'd manufacture... witnesses? Affidavits?

Alan Dershowitz:
No. But you would sacrifice me.

Claus von Bülow:
Oh, please.

Alan Dershowitz:
See, the more I believe that you are innocent, the more nervous I am. I go out on a limb for you, you're proven guilty, I look like an a**hole. My reputation, my credibility, my career, destroyed.

Claus von Bülow:
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

Alan Dershowitz:
Well, f*** you, f*** you, man... I'm glad we understand one another.
