Nick Quote #652
Nick: Schmidt fired me, and now I'll never get to use this briefcase I just bought, and it was $19!
Jess: I think my thing is a little bit more-
Nick: Do you think I'm sexier when I hold it or when it's down? 'Cause I think it's kind of sexier when I hold it, like this.
Jess: Not really.
Nick: Do I look like a man of power? Imagine this: It's, like, a rainy day, I'm on the streets of New York. [whistles] Hey! Stop that cab! I'm a businessman. I'm late to an important meeting. I honestly feel like I would've been so good at this.
Jess: You don't want to be a lawyer. Why do you care whether Schmidt fired you or not?
Nick: I spent all those years at law school with those preppy dicks and I never got to prove them wrong, Jess.
Jess: Okay, go after what you want. Just make sure that what you want doesn't make you a cog on the wheel of a larger, flawed system.
Nick: Stop it. Shut your mouth. 'Cause what you're saying is beautiful. I'm gonna go put on my power suit. High and loud, girl. Whoo!

Quote from Coach
Coach: I'm what?

Quote from Nick
Bill Berklan: So, are you gonna sit, or?
Nick: No, I'm gonna stand. 'Cause isn't that what we are doing? Standing... for the little guy?
Schmidt: [quietly] What is the plan?
Nick: Injustice! [drops screws in Schmidt's hand] I will not stand for it. That is why I will sit right now. I will sit down in this chair... [puts feet on table, falls back] You're negligent! Aah! Get off me! My neck! My neck!
Bill Berklan: Seriously? The fall-down on the chair bit? Is this your first case?
Nick: Yes, it is. And that is why I'll file petition on petition. You're gonna wake up in the morning to paperwork. You're gonna go to bed at night to paperwork. So how about this, gentlemen? You pay the $20,000 settlement to your client yourself, and you'll never see our faces again. What do you call a lunatic who's only got one case and no hobbies? Your worst nightmare.
Quote from Winston
Winston: And the jury will see that there is no justice for the Hebrew man. Not in these so-called United States.
Nick: What is that that you're doing?
Winston: I can't get enough of this legal drama. Check this out. Favorite author, Grisham. Favorite TV show, Judging Amy. Favorite color, courtroom brown. Courtroom Brown. Damn, I wish that was my nickname.
Nick: Did you just think of that? 'Cause it was perfect, man.
Winston: Courtroom Brown.
