Nancy Hollander: You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.

Teri Duncan: Fuck... he fucking confessed.
Nancy Hollander: To what?
Teri Duncan: To everything. To financing 911, to hijacking the planes, he fucking ordered spreadsheets, inner workings of Al Qu'aida. Why didn't he tell us that he confessed?
Nancy Hollander: That's not the first time in history that a client's lied to his lawyers.
Teri Duncan: Look at this, look at his one - he admits to acquiring explosives to blow up LAFs. The millennium plot?
Nancy Hollander: What's your point?
Teri Duncan: He's guilty! He's fucking guilty!
Nancy Hollander: [shrugs] Maybe he is. He still has a right to counsel.
Teri Duncan: I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm saying that he helped to kill 3000 civilians and we're doing everything we can to get him out.
Nancy Hollander: We're doing our job.
Teri Duncan: I did bake sales for his legal fund! That's not a part of my job. My dad told me I'm not welcome home for thanksgiving, that's not a part of my job.
Nancy Hollander: Get out.
Teri Duncan: What?
Nancy Hollander: You want turkey and pumpkin pie with mom and dad and uncle Joe? Go on, get out. Go home. You can't win a case if you don't believe your own shit.
Teri Duncan: I'm not trying to...
Nancy Hollander: [interrups] Stop fucking wasting my time! Get out.
