Orianna Milne: Waiter

Quotes 

• [Shapiro and Bailey are dining at a fancy restaurant] 

  Robert Shapiro : I love Johnnie, it's just... we have to keep our eyes on him.

  F. Lee Bailey : Johnnie's an excellent trial lawyer. He can sense all the potholes.

  Robert Shapiro : That's irrelevant. I don't want him putting ideas into O.J.'s head. I mean, the truth is, we both know there's only one way out of this case.

  F. Lee Bailey : Come on, Bob, we're just getting started. We want to have a little fun.

  Robert Shapiro : No, it's my job to serve the client, and the reality is, it's not winnable. Johnnie is here to make Gil nervous enough to cut us a deal.

  F. Lee Bailey : You really think he will?

  Robert Shapiro : The race card's sticking, and Johnnie equals LAPD injustice, and Gil doesn't want to see the city burn down... again.

  [the waitress arrives with their meals] 

  Waiter : Here you gentlemen go. Eggs Benedict... and steak and frittata.

  F. Lee Bailey : Thank you.

  Waiter : And enjoy!

  F. Lee Bailey : Well, then... to whom do I invoice my hours?

  Robert Shapiro : Hmm?

  F. Lee Bailey : Who should I bill?

  Robert Shapiro : [appearing confused]  Lee, you're pro bono.

  [the waitress returns to their table] 

  Waiter : Could I offer either of you Tabasco or...

  F. Lee Bailey : [without looking at her]  *No, we're fine*! Thank you.

  [the waitress again leaves] 

  F. Lee Bailey : Bob... may I remind you, I was your first call.

  Robert Shapiro : I like this case for you. I really do, Lee. It's a terrific way to get back in the limelight, reintroduce yourself to the public.

  F. Lee Bailey : [quietly angry]  I don't need reintroducing. I'm F. Lee Bailey. I represented Sam Sheppard, Patty Hearst, the *goddamn* Boston Strangler.

  Robert Shapiro : That's -- that's a long time ago. Look at the bright side... this could be the most high-profile criminal case in the history of the world. And O.J.'s easily the most famous American ever to be put up for murder. It's a different world, Lee. I mean, the old days, you'd turn on TV, 6:00 p.m., the news, and now it's 24 hours a day. I have insomnia. I wake up at 3:00 a.m. I turn on cable, and boom, there we are!

  [sighs] 

  Robert Shapiro : Trust me... you'll dine out on this for the rest of your life.

  F. Lee Bailey : Yeah. But Patty Hearst paid.
