Joe Mantegna: Will Girardi

Quotes 

• Luke Girardi : Dad, can I have fifty bucks?

  Will Girardi : Ooh, I almost made it to my coffee.

  Helen Girardi : What's the money for, Luke?

  Luke Girardi : 32 Cornell Dubilier inverter-grade capacitors.

  Will Girardi : [sarcastic]  I just happen to have a few of those in my pocket.

  Helen Girardi : Luke, would you consider these capacitor things a necessity?

  Luke Girardi : Well, that just depends if you define necessity as the power of natural law that cannot be other than what it is, but...

  Will Girardi : [giving him the money]  Okay, knock yourself out. Anybody else?

  Joan Girardi : You know, my shoe collection is, like, from three years ago.

  Helen Girardi : You have enough shoes. Okay, bank is closed.

• Steve Thompson : Two years! Two years! Thousands of man-hours, hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal drug war funds, and you blow it for a dinky little public relations bust!

  D.A. Gabe Fellowes : This is Steve Thompson from the Drug Enforcement Agency, Chief.

  Will Girardi : Are you yelling at me for my benefit or to impress your guys? Because if it's for me, you might as well cut it out.

• D.A. Gabe Fellowes : You are really starting to burn my ass, Girardi.

  Will Girardi : And I feel good about it.

  D.A. Gabe Fellowes : Well, feel good about this. In an effort to cooperate with the Drug Enforcement Agency, I am not going to lay charges against any of the lowlifes you arrested in that crack house. That way, the DEA can continue to monitor their criminal activities.

  Will Girardi : It's over. Put them in jail.

  D.A. Gabe Fellowes : Better still, it's going to look like the arrests were bad. You're going to wear this. Enjoy your next six months as a lame duck incompetent chief, Chief.

• Joan Girardi : So I picked up some strange interests. I mean, kids do that. So I smash a piece of art. I mean, I had my reasons. And the whole cheating thing is completely whack.

  Will Girardi : Cheating thing?

  Joan Girardi : I did not cheat. I am not retaking the test.

  Will Girardi : Joan cheated?

  Helen Girardi : No. It's just Price on a tear. Joan didn't cheat.

  Will Girardi : How could you not tell me that?

  Helen Girardi : This just in, Will. I try to protect you from things if I can.
