- Walter Nicholls: ...we're going to discuss a taboo subject... religion. I haven't heard of either one of you attending mass lately, but I assume you haven't left the Church yet... . Will we or will we not defend him
- [OB-GYN specialist]
- Walter Nicholls: , a very worried man? I'd like to do it, but I'm just a backwards, country Protestant myself. If you two want to, why, we'll pass it up... . Dr. Philip Blackburn has been charged with performing an illegal abortion. And he's guilty... . He needs help... . I think he deserves help.
- Brian Darrell: What makes you think we wanna pass?
- Walter Nicholls: Well, if my memory isn't failing me, you told me that you don't believe in abortion.
- Brian Darrell: I don't.
- Walter Nicholls: Alright. I'll go along with you if you rather feel the firm doesn't touch the case.
- Brian Darrell: I don't believe in abortion, Walt, but maybe this man who needs help does.
- Neil Darrell: Walt, in the words of Cardinal
- [Francis]
- Neil Darrell: Spellman, and I quote: 'Catholics don't need the support of civil law to be faithful to their religious convictions; nor do they wish to impose their moral views by law on non-Catholics.'
- Brian Darrell: [with a slight smile, as he corrects his younger brother] It was Cardinal
- [Richard]
- Brian Darrell: Cushing - not Spellman... . I don't think he was talking about abortion specifically, but neither was Father Murray when he said the law's required to be tolerant of many evils which morality condemns. But I think it covers your question, doesn't it, Walt?
- Walter Nicholls: I think it does. Let's go talk to our client.
