Season 8 Quotes

Season 8 / Episode 17: - War of the Roses (2)

Alan Shore: It's not that I didn't appreciate your riveting performance, but I've mainly retained you to sit at the table as honorary friend of the judge.
Denny Crane: Let me tell you something, tiger.
Alan Shore: Tiger?
Denny Crane: You want Denny Crane to talk. When Denny Crane talks, E.F. Hutton listens. My presence alone - my presence is so powerful, I don't even have to talk. Sometimes I'm better when I don't talk.
Alan Shore: This was my thinking.
Denny Crane: I'm Denny Crane, damn it!

Season 8 / Episode 10: - Equal Justice

Alan Shore: To err is human, but to get even? THAT is divine.
