The Best Rick Mason Quotes

Rick: In my defense, Your Honor, I point to my career in journalism and the respect of my colleagues.
Judge: Sir, I have no idea who you are.

Rick: Who are you? I speak for the people. I gave the Fishers their real day in court. You're a public servant. Your system gave a molester...
Ben: You serve the public better than I do? I didn't arrange to have him killed!
Alice: Neither did my client. He had no motive.
Ben: Your client saw an opportunity, Alice.
Rick: I'm an opportunist? Thirty-eight people were shot in courtrooms last year. The show you're staging is no different than mine.
Ben: Mr. Mason, please focus. This is not a show. You have a camera, I have Attica.
Rick: Take a rest. I didn't get my nap today either. Geraldo had Nazis on the show and started a brawl, nobody indicted him.
Ben: Nobody got shot on his show. Now I'm willing to discuss a plea at the lowest charge.
Rick: Go ahead, pick that scab. I'll see you in court. Don't be late. It's live.
