John Garner:
I can't help you. I mean, not now. You can't afford me. Retainer's ten grand. Hourly's 300. You're a house painter on the verge of divorce. Your realtor wife makes all the money. There's no upside for me until you get arrested.

Ben Crawford:
Well, if I'm arrested, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford you.

John Garner:
Yeah, but at that point, there's a clear benefit to me. You're already been tried in the press. Everyone thinks you're guilty. When you're arrested, *then* I'm your first call. When I get you off, I'm the guy that got an acquittal for kid killer Ben Crawford, joining the ranks of the Simpson and Anthony defenders. [At Ben's hard stare] It gives me my next fifty paying clients.

Ben Crawford:
You're a jerk.

John Garner:
Yeah... I am.
