The Lincoln Lawyer/Funny

• From the book, while Haller is being stretchered out of his apartment after Mary Alice Windsor shot him:

Detective Lankford: Don't flatline on us now. If we end up giving a defense lawyer mouth-to-mouth, we'll never live it down.

• The Running Gag joke:

"What's the difference between a catfish and a defense attorney? One's a bottom-feeding scum sucker. The other's a fish."

• Minton's cross-examination of Mr. Talbot, the first man who was in Reggie Campo's apartment that night. (Although Talbot's off-color comments come dangerously close to causing the judge to find him in contempt).

Minton: Mr. Talbot, could you please describe the physical state Ms. Campo was in when you left her shortly before ten o'clock on the night of March sixth?
Talbot: Completely satisfied.
Minton: Mr. Talbot, I mean her physical state. Was she hurt or bleeding when you left her?
Talbot: No, she was fine. She was okay. When I left her she was fit as a fiddle and I know because I had just played her.

• Detective Booker's deadpan answer to this question by Haller while he was on the stand:

Haller: Would any of the outfits you saw in the closet have been appropriate to sadomasochistic sexual activities?
Booker: I wouldn't know that. I am not an expert in that field.

• Judge Fullbright's outraged reaction to Minton dragging the jailhouse snitch onto the stand, the moment she gets council back in her chambers:

Fullbright: Mr. Minton, what the fuck have you done to my trial?

• When Minton returns with a motion to dismiss:

Fullbright: In the matter of the state versus Louis Ross Roulet, I understand from my clerk that we have a motion.
Minton: Yes, your Honor.

Fullbright: Well, Mr. Minton, are you sending it to me telepathically?
