Helping Hands (2006)

Candice Bergen: Shirley Schmidt

Quotes 

• Shirley Schmidt : Oh, by all means, let's get a fair trial for the man who tried to slit my throat.

  Alan Shore : Let's.

  Shirley Schmidt : But understand that everyone in this firm is concidered a witness. Don't expect anyone to help you, or speak to you.

  Alan Shore : And won't that make for a refreshing change.

• Shirley Schmidt : Hello Garrett. You're not helping Mr. Shore on the Espenson case, because you're a witness. I'm sure you're aware that would be a conflict of interest.

  Garrett Wells : I was just getting him coffee.

  Shirley Schmidt : Well, you can't do that, either. I'll take a decaf, though. Thanks.

  Garrett Wells : [quietly as he exits]  Thank you.

  Alan Shore : Shirley, I know we're fighting, but there's no reason to take it out on the children.

• Beverly Bridge : I know what you want, Shirley. And yes, Denny does still talk about you. He remembers his experiences with you so fondly. Did you know that he has a position called "The Schmidt"?

  Shirley Schmidt : Would that be the one where I read a magazine while he lies passed out on the floor?

  Beverly Bridge : That's not what I heard.
