Leland McKenzie Quotes

Unknown Episode: Leland McKenzie: Look at this. A Christmas card from Rosalyn. Grace Van Owen: You know, Leland; she probably had them sent out by a service and no one thought to notify them that she was dead. Leland McKenzie: I guess you're right; a Christmas card from the grave. [starts laughing] Grace Van Owen: One thing you can say about Rosalyn, she sure knew how to network.

Season 8 / Episode 19: - Tunnel of Love Arnie Becker: As far as I know, Patrick Flanagan is a felon! He gave me assurances that this girl would not testify. That is obstruction of justice! Leland McKenzie: Do you have any proof of that? Arnie Becker: Of course I don't have proof. I thought you'd believe me. Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Patrick said that he tried contacting you with the settlement offer, but you were unavailable, which is why he went ahead on his own. Arnie Becker: Oh, please! Leland McKenzie: He also said that no such assurances were ever given. Arnie Becker: He's lying! Can't you see that? Less you be under any further illusions, this is someone who lies to get what he wants. He came into my office on that day and told me what he wanted to do. I told him, under no uncertain terms: "do not do this." He went ahead and did it anyway! Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Even if that was true, just keep in mind that he brought into this firm some $9 million and additional clients and revenue... Arnie Becker: Douglas, he is dangerous! He's a closeted sociopath, and a pathological liar! Leland McKenzie: Now, hold on Arnie! I've known Patrick all his life. He comes from a good family and has a good education. He wouldn't do that. Arnie Becker: All right, fine. Do whatever you want. But I'm telling you right now, I will not work with him again, Leland! The day you insist that I work out my differences with that scummy guy, that is the day I quit! Oh, and on this prognosis, Morales was right about him! Douglas Brackman, Jr.: First Daniel quits, now Arnie threatens to because of Flanagan? Doesn't that strike you odd at all? Leland McKenzie: Patrick maintains that no such assurances were given. I believe him. Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Patrick maintains a lot of things, Leland. Leland McKenzie: Why... yes he does. Douglas Brackman, Jr.: At the very least, for a nice guy who brings in the business, he does stand to get accused of obstructing justice pretty often. Leland McKenzie: Well, so far all the accusations have been groundless. Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Yeah... so far.
