Lee Purcell: DA Louise St. Laurent

Quotes 

• Louise St. Laurent : [dumps a two-foot-thick stack of folders on Ray's desk]  Vecchio, you're going to trial a week from Wednesday on the Turner brothers' case. I've turned it over to Assistant State's Attorney Hilliard.

  Ray Vecchio : Stress-related vacation, Louise?

  Louise St. Laurent : I have assured Hilliard that you will have a complete and thorough recollection of the details of the case so as not to embarrass him on the stand, because if you embarrass him, you embarrass me. And you don't want to embarrass me. *Read it*.

  [stalks away as Fraser comes in] 

  Fraser : Busy?

  Ray Vecchio : Nope.

• Lt. Harding Welsh : [on the phone with Turnbull]  Fraser says put him on the phone.

  [Int. consulate; Gerrard pounding on the door] 

  Constable Turnbull : In order to do that, sir, I would have to confirm that there was someone here.

  Gerrard : [yelling from Fraser's office]  I have to use the bathroom, you moron!

  [Int. Welsh's office] 

  Lt. Harding Welsh : If he's not there, who's that yelling to use the bathroom?

  ATF Agent MacFadden : That's it! I want Vecchio arrested for aiding and abetting!

  Lt. Harding Welsh : He says he never even saw the prisoner.

  Ray Vecchio : Which is true!

  ATF Agent MacFadden : He's complicitous! He knows where he is!

  Ray Vecchio : Well, so do you! I want *him* arrested!

  Louise St. Laurent : Just go over there and get Gerrard and bring him back.

  Fraser : Well, you can't do that, actually. He's on Canadian soil and he's under my protection.

  Louise St. Laurent : That's it. Lock him up!

  Ray Vecchio : You can't do that! He has diplomatic immunity!

  Fraser : Well, actually, strictly speaking, Ray...

  Ray Vecchio : Shut up, Fraser!

  Fraser : Will do.

  Constable Turnbull : If it's of any help, sir, I can confirm that we do have a bathroom.
