James Donovan : But it's also an honor. And the Bar Association asked me because they want to show that even a spy gets a capable advocate.
Mary Donovan : Well, maybe it's an honor we could do without.
James Donovan : [his daughter comes in] Hey, honey, what are you doing home?
Carol Donovan : I got stood up.
James Donovan : W... well, that's despicable. Who is this knot-head?
Carol Donovan : I'd rather not say.

Thomas Watters Jr. : Jim, you did a great job. You fulfilled your mandate and then some. But the man is a spy. The verdict is correct and there's no reason to appeal it.
James Donovan : There's ample procedural reason. We know the search is tainted. And Fourth Amendment issues will always weigh more heavily in an appellate form. We've got a good shot.
Thomas Watters Jr. : What the goddamn hell are you talking about? We were supposed to show he had a capable defense, which we did. Why are you citing the goddamn Constitution at me?
James Donovan : Tom, if you look me in the eye and tell me we don't have grounds for an appeal, I'll drop it right now.
Thomas Watters Jr. : I'm not saying that. You know what I'm saying.
Mary Donovan : Tom is saying there's a cost to these things.
Thomas Watters Jr. : That's right.
Mary Donovan : A cost to both your family and your firm.
