Quotes 

• George Dillard : I'm sorry to lean on you, old buddy, but uh...

  Harry Orwell : Alright, how much?

  George Dillard : It's $1,464,200.

  Harry Orwell : Yeah, sure, I'll have my bankers credit your account with the amount in the morning, George.

  George Dillard : Oh, no! I'm not hitting you for a loan, Harry. I mean, I got a client! I'm working, and all. But, I'm not really sure what it's all about, yet. And I think I may be in a little over my head.

  Harry Orwell : Well, that's familiar ground to you, George.

  George Dillard : Listen, I got an appointment with my client tonight at 9:30. Can you meet us there?

• Lt. K.C. Trench : Orwell, what we have here is a probable homicide, which does not allow for withholding evidence. I hope that nuance is not wasted on you.

  Harry Orwell : I'm very good at nuances.

  Sue Ingham : [walks toward the bathroom]  Harry!

  Harry Orwell : [still off camera]  What is it?

  Sue Ingham : George Dillard.

• Lt. K.C. Trench : [Trench sees Harry already sitting at the table that he's being led to]  Orwell? This wouldn't call for an explanation, would it?

  Harry Orwell : Oh no, no, no... You don't have to account to me. Want to take Sergeant Roberts to dinner? Fine.
