Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
Denny Crane's son, Donny, is the opposing counsel in Denny's trial -- an obvious attempt to settle a score with Denny for letting him believe for 25 years that he was his father. Denny tries the case with Chelina Hall, an associate at the firm. Meanwhile, Shirley Schmidt recruits an extremely reluctant Alan Shore to defend a police officer accused of torture. And Shore's former client, Bernard Ferrion, is befriended by his secretary, Catherine Piper, much to Shore's dismay.

Episode Quotes

Catherine Piper: All I'm saying is, if you killed two people... there couldn't be a better time to turn to Jesus Christ, your savior.
Bernard Ferrion: Under normal circumstances I'd agree.
Catherine Piper: But?
Bernard Ferrion: I'm Jewish.
Catherine Piper: Bernie, there has never been a Jewish serial killer.
Bernard Ferrion: Son of Sam. David Berkowitz.
Catherine Piper: He was adopted. Genetically, he's one of ours.
Bernard Ferrion: Well, what are you saying?
Catherine Piper: I'm saying that if you're out there murdering people on some level you must want to be Christian. Would you let me take you to church?

Donny Crane: We're talking about emotions of the heart.
Denny: Objection. Sounds like a girly man.
Donny Crane: (Angrily) Move to strike!
Denny: That's better.
