Harry Nash : Rook to Knight 1.
Jonathan Gault : You sure you don't want to look at the board?
Harry Nash : No. Just move it.
-
Jonathan Gault : Damn. I don't know how you stand all the waiting, Harry. It gives me the willies.
[the phone rings]
Harry Nash : Yes? Okay, we'll be right there.
Jonathan Gault : Moment of truth?
Harry Nash : We'll see.
-
Harry Nash : Do you ever feel like quitting?
Jerry Landau : With three ex-wives and a Lamborghini to support? Be serious.
Harry Nash : I am serious. I can't remember the last time I represented a decent human being.
-
Jerry Landau : I'll get you a drink.
Harry Nash : I don't have to drink his liquor.
Jenny Stafford : You didn't have to defend him, either.
-
Harry Nash : Number One: I wasn't talking to you. Jesus, I hate a woman who smokes.
Jenny Stafford : Yeah, well, we're a lot worse than murderers.
Harry Nash : Number Two: I believe the verdict was not guilty.
Jenny Stafford : So why are you bad mouthing it?
Harry Nash : Look, if I was a surgeon, I wouldn't have to love the guy on the table, would I?
Jenny Stafford : I hadn't thought of that. Surgeons have bloody hands, too.
-
Harry Nash : Hey, Miss, it's safe to go back inside. I'm leaving.
Jenny Stafford : You should stay. All these people drinking, there's bound to be a nice accident.
Harry Nash : I'm waiting for the next cliché.
Jenny Stafford : Is that all you're waiting for?
Harry Nash : Boy, have you got a mean mouth.
Jenny Stafford : Sue me.

Harry Nash : He's on some kind of edge... if we could just prod him, push him, rattle his cage a little bit, I think he might make a mistake.
Burt Matson : Yeah, he might even go after his lawyer who now knows too much.
-
Jonathan Gault : I know - murder... suicide. Slimy lawyer kills mistress, then self; wronged husband mourns in jail. Come up here. Come on, Harry! I'll let you say goodbye.
[Harry doesn't move]
Jonathan Gault : Very well. I'm quite a good shot, you know. I can hit her from here. Watch.
[Jonathan fires at Jenny, who is gagged and bound in the next room]
Harry Nash : Noooo!
Jonathan Gault : ... Missed.
-
Jonathan Gault : I just have to hire a wily young lawyer like yourself, Harry. I'll buy myself a pack of psychiatrists; tell them I trusted you. That'll prove my insanity beyond a reasonable doubt. You're going to have to shoot me or be part of my defense.
Harry Nash : Shut up.
Jonathan Gault : Actually, I wish you would kill me. I don't really much fancy alive - hospital, painting classes, taking up to Bible to show I'm reborn.
-
Jonathan Gault : Look at you. You really want to. The real Harry at last. Not a lawyer - a judge, a god - deciding life and death. Harry the Omnipotent.
Harry Nash : Shut up.
Jonathan Gault : One last prayer, Harry, if you're going to kill me, one last prayer. Harry is my shepherd, I shall not want. Yea, even though I walk in the shadow...

Harry Nash : It's over. What do you say we go for a walk?
