Jerome Facher: In forty five years of practicing law, I've never waited in a corridor for a verdict.

Jan Schlichtmann: I always do.

Jerome Facher: I can tell you're good at it: you seem to be at peace doing it, do you think its good staying outside this long? Or is it bad?

Jan Schlichtmann: For who?

Jerome Facher: For me, you can never tell, jury duty is more fun than working at the post office.

Jan Schlichtmann: It's bad for both of us, the jury will see the truth.

Jerome Facher: In a courtroom you won't find anything that even resembles the truth.

Jan Schlichtmann: Eight kids are dead.

Jerome Facher: The minute you filed the compliant the minute it entered the justice system is when this case stopped being about dead children. I know you're a high stakes gambler, its apart of your profession, why don't we test your born again righteousness of our courts with a high stakes gamble?

Jan Schlichtmann: If that's a settlement offer, that's not enough.

Jerome Facher: What if I could add six zeroes to that? That'd be twenty million dollars, wouldn't that put things in prospective in terms of truth, justice and dead children?

Jan Schlichtmann: If you want to talk seriously about a settlement offer let's get the decision makers and talk seriously.

Jerome Facher: The decision makers are already here, it's just you and me we're like kings sitting in a castle deciding important things like the fate of others. Counting money in our counting room. I'll leave the twenty dollars here, go back to my throne room and wait for your decision but if you're looking for the truth you'll find it where it always is: the bottom of the deepest ocean.
