  • May I remind you that I am not on trial here?! Sorry. I just love saying that.

  • To ensure a fair trial, the judge should present the evidence with Gretchen Mol standing in for the defendant.

  • Oh, great. If I somehow manage to avoid 20 years of Cheers and Frasier, my reward is a jury seat at Kelsey Grammer's child-murder trial?
