Molly: Were you sleeping together?
Aaron: Well, that's private.
Molly: I know. I have to ask the question. Were you having a sexual relationship, Aaron?
Janet Venable: You think you've got me. You think because you know me as well as you do, you know how I think. Well, I know how you think.
Martin Vail: You know what I'm thinking?
Janet Venable: How can your timing be so good in a courtroom and so bad in real life?
Martin Vail: They assume they're guilty. You know, they assume they did it, and, like, we know or something. You don't know. You don't ask. You don't care. You do the goddamn job.
John Shaughnessy: I have some advice for you. My advice for you, if you really have aspirations beyond this particular office, is to pick up that little handbag of yours, go home right now and destroy this tape you should've destroyed, like I did, the minute you received it.
Janet Venable: What's the matter, Marty, you nervous? Been a while since you rubbed up against a woman with a brain?
Janet Venable: I've got to admit, that face is great. Are you prepping him to take the stand? That stutter, it's p-p-p-p-priceless.
Martin Vail: Videotape?
Alex: Yeah.
Martin Vail: Of what?
Alex: Sex stuff.
Martin Vail: Sex stuff?
Alex: What, I have to draw a picture for you?
Naomi Chance: So how are you gonna get him off?
Joey Pinero: The Archbishop was a close personal friend of Mr. Shaughnessy. He came to me earlier this morning and asked me who was my best man, I said you.
Janet Venable: Thank you. I trust, Mr. Shaughnessy, if I am to prosecute this case, I'll be given the authority which comes with the assignment.
John Shaughnessy: You're the one trying the case, but let's establish one thing at the outset. I want the death penalty.
Alex: She freaked out! She panicked. She split. I don't know. I'm not expecting any postcards.
Janet Venable: Fuck him.
Martin Vail: Fuck him?
Janet Venable: Fuck you! Thanks a lot.
Jack Connerman: So, why'd you leave the State's Attorney's Office?
Martin Vail: Dead-end job. You either - you either run for office, or you end up a judge. Why become an umpire when you can play ball?
Martin Vail: My name is Martin Vail. I'm what you call a big-shot attorney.
Naomi Chance: What does he look like - in person?
Martin Vail: The Butcher Boy? Like a Boy Scout.
Tommy Goodman: A Boy Scout - with a merit badge in carving.
Martin Vail: Let me just take you back now. Let's go back to June 1985. Do you recall any allegations of sexual misconduct?
Martin Vail: I also need case histories on murder by stabbing, murder by mutilation, murder by religion. Also, I'm gonna need a psychiatrist.
Naomi Chance: You're telling me.
Martin Vail: Do you trust me?
Aaron: Do - yes, yes. Yes, of course I do.
Martin Vail: Good. Because I don't trust you.
Answer: Later in the film it's said B32 is a catalog code for the book "The Scarlet Letter", page 156.
