"This is my favorite aria. This is Maria Callas. It's, Umberto Giordano. This is Madeleine. She's saying how during the French Revolution the mob set fire to her house. And her mother died, saving her. She says, Look! The place that cradled me is burning. I am alone. Do you hear the heartache in her voice? Can you feel it, Joe? Now, In come the strings, and it changes everything. The music fills with a hope, and that'll change again. Listen. Listen."I bring sorrow to those who love me." Oh, that single cello! It was during this sorrow that love came to me. A voice filled with harmony. It said, Live still. I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god... that comes down from the heavens to the earth, and makes of the earth a heaven. I am love. I am love.”

  • Joe Miller: [Plaintiff opening statement] ladies and gentlemen of the jury: forget everything you've seen on television and in the movies. There's not going to be any last minute surprise witnesses, nobody's going to break down on the stand with a tearful confession, you're going to be presented with simple facts. Andrew Beckett was fired and you'll two explanations on why he was fired, ours and theirs it's up to you to sit through layer upon layer of truth until you determine for yourself which version sounds the most true.
