Jason Ritter: Kevin Girardi

Quotes 

• Will Girardi : There he is.

  Kevin Girardi : Dad, hi.

  Will Girardi : Didn't think I'd run into you so soon. How do you like it?

  Kevin Girardi : There's so much on the docket the other reporters just ignore.

  Will Girardi : Well, it's mostly routine stuff.

  Kevin Girardi : I don't think it should be.

  Will Girardi : That's why we have youth.

• Will Girardi : You couldn't give me a heads-up?

  Kevin Girardi : I didn't think they'd print it, but Rebecca thought it was a new take on the system, so...

  Will Girardi : You killed the guy's plea bargain.

  Kevin Girardi : What's the problem? It's your collar. I thought you'd be happy.

  Will Girardi : Why would I be happy ruining a man's life?

  Kevin Girardi : Come on. What the ADA and the public defender agreed to? Felony reduced to misdemeanor, one year of probation. No jail time. Pollack doesn't deserve to walk.

  Will Girardi : Oh, so three days in the courthouse and now you know the whole system.

• Kevin Girardi : I did my research on the percentages of repeat offenders who got plea bargains...

  Will Girardi : Then you know that I was part of the deal. It was carefully designed to help the guy, and now Pollack is going to jail for two years, and he'll never get custody of his kid again because of your damn article.

  Kevin Girardi : Hey, I'm a reporter. All I did was present the facts.

  Will Girardi : His life is a fact. Decent people screw up. It's not so black and white.

  Kevin Girardi : No? I screwed up. I didn't get to make a deal. Where's my deal?

  Will Girardi : Well, I'm sorry. That excuse doesn't work this time.
