The Firm

Ray McDeere: How'd you land a job like that with a brother in the slammer? Ray McDeere: I get it. Don't worry, I'd probably have done the same thing. Mitch McDeere: You're always there for me, Ray... Ray McDeere: I'd have done the same thing. You think I want to tell the guys around here that I got a brother at Harvard?

Mitch McDeere: Anything I can do for you? Ray McDeere: Sure. Get me out of here. Mitch McDeere: Where to? Ray McDeere: Anywhere I can see a whole lot of sky. I get through the days, I even eat the food. It's amazing how much you miss the sky.

Mitch McDeere: What led you to law school? Avery Tolar: It's so far back I don't think I can remember. Mitch McDeere: Sure you can, Counsellor. Avery Tolar: I used to caddy for lawyers and their wives on summer weekends. I looked at those long tan legs and just knew I had to be a lawyer. The wives had long tan legs, too.

Avery Tolar: Do you think I'm talking about breaking the law? Mitch McDeere: No, I'm just trying to figure out how far you want it bent. Avery Tolar: As far as you can without breaking it.

Wayne Tarrance: How about you get down on your knees and kiss my ass for not indicting you as a co-conspirator right now, you chickenshit little Harvard cocksucker? Mitch McDeere: I haven't done anything, and you know it! Wayne Tarrance: Who gives a fuck? I'm a federal agent! You know what that means, you lowlife motherfucker? It means you've got no rights, your life is mine! I could kick your teeth down your throat and yank them out your asshole, and I'm not even violating your civil rights! Mitch McDeere: You are Agent Wayne Tarrance. Wayne Tarrance: Yeah, you’re goddamn right I am. Maybe local cops can’t…
