Steven Hill: DA Adam Schiff

Quotes 

• A.D.A. Jamie Ross : Turns out Sonja Harlann was Lancer's kid. She gets her 50 million dollars.

  Jack McCoy : [sheepishly]  Good for her.

  A.D.A. Jamie Ross : And Silverman collects his 17 million dollar fee. No wonder everybody hates the legal profession.

  Jack McCoy : [pause]  Make sure Douglas Burke gets a full transcript of Sonja Harland's allocution. This way there'll be something to collect when he sues her and Mr Silverman for his mother's wrongful death.

  D.A. Adam Schiff : [wryly]  Lawyers!

  [sighs] 

  D.A. Adam Schiff : [fade to closing titles] 

• D.A. Adam Schiff : Nice going. You made her cry. That should win you points in the jury room.

  Jack McCoy : [sarcastically]  Sure. She had a rotten childhood and I feel sorry for her. If she hadn't left her mother to bleed to death on the floor, I'd give her a big hug.
