Jurisdiction (1993)

Michael Moriarty: Executive ADA Ben Stone

Quotes 

• James Lee Pawl : Twenty-five? I can't do twenty-five.

  Ben Stone : Then do as much as you can.

• Marty Lake : He did her, and he did Davis, all by himself.

  Ben Stone : I could get the same story down the hall.

  Marty Lake : I'm not making this up.

  [Looks at Feldman, who nods] 

  Marty Lake : He tried to sell me a ring. The kind with a face on it, like a cameo. He said for an extra $5, he'd give me the finger it came with. This is one whacked-out dude.

  Ben Stone : I need a name.

  Eddie Feldman : You'll get a name as soon as the charges pending against my client have been dismissed.

  Ben Stone : Brooklyn's out of my jurisdiction. I can talk to the Kings County DA...

  Eddie Feldman : Nah, no, no. We already knocked on that door, thank you.

  Ben Stone : The DA knows this?

  Marty Lake : Det. Torelli does. First thing out of my mouth after they booked me. But here I sit.

• Ben Stone : I want you to put Marty Lake back on the street.

  Jerry Silbo : What for? So he can resume his service to the community?

  Ben Stone : As bad as Lake's crimes are, they pale by comparison to these murders.

  Jerry Silbo : Ben, unless this advances my department's prosecutorial interests =

  Ben Stone : Jerry this is not about servicing anyone's body count.

  Jerry Silbo : Well, my obligation is to keep scum like Marty Lake off the street.

  Ben Stone : And to protect the innocent.

  Jerry Silbo : Do you have any idea of what kind of crap I'd get into if I went along with this?

  Ben Stone : You can always duck. I'll take the hit.

  Jerry Silbo : If you've got a bullet-proof vest, Ben, then I hope you plan to sleep in it.
