Richard Portnow: Attorney Melvoin

Quotes 

• Junior Soprano : [while in his lawyer's office, referring to his running out of money]  this bill, Jesus. I wish this trial would happen already, I'm hemorrhaging "spondulicks" here

  Attorney Melvoin : the minimalization process could be very good for us: we hire experts to study the wiretap tapes, former Bureau guys, very thorough. If they find "abuses", we take those findings to the judge, and possibly have all the wiretap evidence thrown out?

  Junior Soprano : that's fuckin great, I know the Feds stay longer on the phone than the twenty seconds to see if the call is relevant. I hear a "click", I could be talking about root beer and sometimes they stay on forty, fifty seconds before they hang up... pricks

  Attorney Melvoin : but it'll cost for them to study

  Junior Soprano : how much?

  Attorney Melvoin : two hundred plus hours of tapes analyzed, and I want to bring on "specialized counsel" to handle the wiretap litigation, "ballpark" figure?

  Junior Soprano : [irritated]  yeah, Wrigley fuckin Field for Christ's sake

  Attorney Melvoin : four hundred thousand
