Stephanie MacDonald: Why didn't you tell me you tried to force him out? Drake Goodman: I didn't think it mattered. Stephanie MacDonald: You set us back months. Drake Goodman: He's lying! Stephanie MacDonald: This guy has been playing you like a piano concerto. Drake Goodman: Me? What about you? I got a guy livin' in my building who hasn't paid one cent! Not only can't you get him out, but now I owe him money? Stephanie MacDonald: Maybe you'd like to retain another attorney. Patty Palmer: Stephanie. [sighs] Please don't quit.

Lieutenant Lou Baker: Thank you. [Amato leave] I guess you're wishing now you'd rented to the Black man. Patty Palmer: You never brought back your application.
