Taraji P. Henson: Whitney Rome

Quotes 

• Whitney Rome : [Whitney has just taken a new case before Judge Gloria Weldon, Alan Shore's ex-girlfriend. Judge Weldon has just denied two of Whitney's motions seemingly out-of-hand, and Whitney, frustrated, approches the bench]  Your honor. Maybe in the interests of justice, we should put our conflicts on the table.

  Judge Gloria Weldon : Meaning?

  Whitney Rome : Meaning, there may be some bad blood between you and my firm, and it -

  [Judge Weldon raises a hand to stop her] 

  Judge Gloria Weldon : [Addressing the A.D.A]  Mr. Palmer, I once had a relationship with a lawyer at Crane, Poole, and Schmidt. Do you object?

  A.D.A. Christopher Palmer : Not at all.

  Whitney Rome : But - But my client objects!

  Judge Gloria Weldon : Tell your client the affair wasn't very memorable. And if I had to recuse myself from every case where I'd slept with one of the lawyers, or both? I'd have to take up golf. I'll give you one hour to get yourself ready, then I'm bringing in the jury.
