Bobby Donnell Quotes

	Season 6 / Episode 19: - The Return of Joey Heric Lawrence O'Malley: [to his lawyer, Lindsay Dole, after he has asked to speak to her, alone, in a conference room at the court house] Hello, Clarissa. Bobby Donnell: Oh, brother! Lawrence O'Malley: Could you leave, Bobby? I'd like to speak to Clarissa alone. Lindsay Dole: I'm not Clarissa, Lawrence. Jody Foster wasn't even Clarissa. She was Clarice. And even she's not Clarice anymore.
	Season 6 / Episode 18: - Fire Proof Eugene Young: Wait, wait, wait... you went to law school, took the bar exam. Joey Heric: It was my therapist's idea. He thought one way of weaning myself off of killing people was to help others who did get away with it. I've got a case now. That's why I'm here. Bobby Donnell: What kind of case? Joey Heric: Homicide! The problem I'm having is this... I think the kid might actually be innocent. And as good as I am, my conscience says I should bring someone else on board with experience. Ellenor Frutt: So, in addition to getting a law degree, you also picked up a conscience? Joey Heric: Drives like new, hardly any miles on it.
	Season 3 / Episode 23: - Happily Ever After Bobby Donnell: My client isn't a flight risk, your honor. A.D.A. Curtis Simmons: Safety risk. Bobby Donnell: This is the first time he's ever shot anybody. [Judge Hiller looks at him, shocked at such a slip-up. Bobby catches himself] Allegedly.
	Unknown Episode: Bobby Donnell: It's better that ten guilty men go free, than one innocent man suffer.
	Unknown Episode: Jimmy Berluti: I've spent my whole life thinking I'm not good enough. Bobby Donnell: If we lose, you'll at least know your whole life, you've been right.
	Unknown Episode: Bobby Donnell: [about Ellenor testifying on behalf of the firm] We'll look bad if we hide things. Let's just be upfront about everything. Ellenor: That's easy for you to say - it's not your personal life Lucy: Who has a personal life? Bobby Donnell, Ellenor: [shout] Lucy!
