- James Kavanagh QC: [Cross-examining a policeman] There's no harm giving an honest answer. Indeed it's rather expected of you.
- Peter Foxcott QC: Only trying to cheer you up.
- James Kavanagh QC: Working alongside you, Peter, always cheers me up.
- Emma Taylor: [Complimenting Kavanagh on his effective examination of a witness after he returns to the defense table] Stylish!
- James Kavanagh QC: Style is something you use when you're short of substance.
- James Kavanagh QC: You're like a breath of fresh air.
- Emma Taylor: And you're a patronizing old so-and-so, and you think I'm naive.
- James Kavanagh QC: [to Emma] There's a certain irony in defending someone I'd gladly throttle with my bare hands.
