[McCoy has accused Lethem of sabotaging the case against Rodchenko for political reasons]

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

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 don't have to grind anybody's axe.

Lethem:
Except your own.

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

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

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.
