Quotes2

  • McTeal's Attorney: Look, if your strategy is to drag the church through the mud...
  • Robert Goren: We have no agenda against the church. For every story you hear of misconduct, there are thousands of stories of good works.
  • Monsignor McTeal: Well, that's the first true thing you've said all day, detective.
  • Robert Goren: You know, I was thinking, you know, an episcopalian priest can... well, they can have a wife, and a lutheran pastor, they can date a playmate. You have, uh, vows of chastity.
  • Monsignor McTeal: A vocation demands sacrifice.
  • Robert Goren: Jeez, it must be... frustrating.
  • Monsignor McTeal: Temptation is a test that God gives all of us.
  • Robert Goren: Well, it seems to be a test you're failing.
  • Monsignor McTeal: I'm no diferent from any other man. How about you, detective Goren? Any frailties of your own?
  • McTeal's Attorney: Look, we're within a minute of walking if we don't hear a charge.
  • Robert Goren: You can... Love the church for their good works, or you can hate the church for their... Hypocrisy.
  • [impatient]
  • Robert Goren: Tick tock. Ti- How much time do I have left? Go ahead. No. How much?
  • [to Monsignor]
  • Robert Goren: But both sides agree... Thou shalt not kill.
  • Robert Goren: So it's safe to say you're not big on "turn the other cheek"?
  • Monsignor McTeal: I realize giving her the gun was a... terrible mistake.
