Law & Order, Season 7

McCoy:
What's your current movie about, Mr. Newman? Talking bears?

Newman:
Yes.

McCoy:
A daring Neorealist foray into Jellystone Park? Does that fulfill your promise as an artist?

Newman:
No!

McCoy:
Heidi Ellison was keeping you from fulfilling that promise, wasn't she?

Newman:
Not just her. Do you know what kinda crap they wanted me to make?

McCoy:
But especially her. She could've let you make Madame Bovary, couldn't she?

Newman:
Yes!

McCoy:
But she didn't, did she?

Newman:
She gave me a choice. The bears or a picture about a dog who's granted 3 wishes. I couldn't believe it!

McCoy:
You couldn't believe what, Mr. Newman?

Newman:
I had an actress, a bankable actress, who was attached to Bovary. But Heidi gives her $12,000,000 to do an asteroid movie instead, because our marriage didn't work out! [jumps out of his seat and raises his sword] That vindictive bitch! I could've made something!!

[everyone in the courtroom stares at him, causing Newman to sit back down and face-palm]
