D.A. Adam Schiff: You can't force the other side to play. You put a check in the win column and you count your blessings.Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: In any other circumstances, that's exactly what I'd do.D.A. Adam Schiff: Why does this kid deserve such special attention?Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: Because he's pleading for the wrong reason. His lawyer tells him that he's born bad. We tell him he's raised bad. He buys both stories. Sees his life as a dead end.D.A. Adam Schiff: Maybe he knows his life better than you do. Your job is to convict not to rehabilitate.Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: He's a 14-year-old kid who gave up.D.A. Adam Schiff: So you're doing him a favor.Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: If he gave up his illusions, right, but he gave up hope and I drove him to that. Now anything might happen to that kid in prison.D.A. Adam Schiff: Gary Gilmore. Westley Dodd. Two unrepentant killers. Everybody wants them dead until they agree and then we turn them into folk heroes.Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone: We had nothing to do with their fates.D.A. Adam Schiff: You want them to start naming churches after you, I'd get another profession. Take the kid's plea. Move on to the next case.
