Laila Robins: Rita Fiore

Quotes 

• [Spenser eyes Rita Fiore's legs as she walks into his office] 

  Spenser : Rita Fiore. Still got the wheels.

  Rita Fiore : Yeah, and I'm still spinning them.

• Rita Fiore : Oh, yeah. Professionally, I'm a big damn success, but am I married?

  Spenser : Gee, wish I could help.

  Rita Fiore : You still seeing Susan, the psychiatrist?

  Spenser : Psychologist.

  Rita Fiore : Whatever.

• Rita Fiore : So who shows up here last spring at my firm? My old adversary, Marcy Vance. And as soon as we're reintroduced, she starts in on me about Ellis Alves. He was framed. She was too green to conduct a proper defense. He was the victim of racial discrimination.

  Spenser : If she's right, somebody else did it. And got away with it.

  Rita Fiore : Uh-huh.

  Spenser : So there's more to this than flashing your legs at me to remind me of what I missed.

  Rita Fiore : Well, that's the primary purpose.

• Spenser : And if I find out he didn't do it?

  Rita Fiore : No, let's be clear on this. The firm's not hiring you to clear this guy. The firm is hiring you to establish the truth.

  Spenser : And you a lawyer.

  Rita Fiore : [smiling]  I know, I'm not comfortable with it, either. But there it is.
