Ed Masry: What makes you think you can just walk in there and take whatever you want? Erin Brockovich: They're called boobs, Ed.

Ed Masry: In a law firm you may want to re-think your wardrobe a little. Erin Brockovich: Well Ed, I think I look nice. And as long as I have one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you? You might want to re-think those ties.

George: How many numbers you got? Erin Brockovich: Oh, I got numbers comin' outta my ears. For instance: ten. George: Ten? Erin Brockovich: Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is. George: You got a little girl? Erin Brockovich: Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? How 'bout this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've been married -- and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

Ed Masry: This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal. Erin Brockovich: Kind of like David and whats-his-name. Ed Masry: Kind of like David and whats-his-name's whole fucking family. [sighs] Okay, here's the deal: If, and only if, you find all the evidence to back this up, I'll do it, I'll take it on. Erin Brockovich: You're doing the right thing, Mr. Masry. Ed Masry: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remind me of that when I'm filing for bankruptcy.

Ms. Sanchez: Let's be honest here. $20 million dollars is more money then these people have ever dreamed of. Erin Brockovich: Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't shit when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of twenty. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume, another client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by

Ed Masry: [after a meeting with a PG&E representative] Didn't you hear? They have $28 billion at their disposal! Erin Brockovich: So? Ed Masry: You think I'm MADE of money? Erin Brockovich: What are you yelling at me for? Ed Masry: Because I'm pissed off! Erin Brockovich: Good! Ed Masry: [throws down tie] Fuck you! Erin Brockovich: Fuck you back! Ed Masry: [starts laughing] I really hate you sometimes, I really do. Erin Brockovich: Aww, you love me.
