Mick Haller: I checked the list of people I trust and your name ain't on it.
Earl: [picking Mick up from the hospital] You're nobody 'till somebody shoots you.
Mick Haller: Maggie, you know what I used to be afraid of Maggie?
Maggie McPherson: Yeah, me.
Mick Haller: That I wouldn't recognize innocence. That it would be right there in front of me and I just wouldn't see it.
Maggie McPherson: Yeah...
Mick Haller: I'm not talking about guilty or
not guilty; just, just innocence. Know what I'm afraid of now?
[Maggie shakes head]
Mick Haller: Evil. Pure Evil.
Eddie Vogel: [from trailer] Counsellor?
Mick Haller: Eddie, we had a deal. Either you pay me, or go with a public defender.
Eddie Vogel: How 'bout five grand?
Mick Haller: Ten.
[Eddie then hands Mick a brown envelope, presumably with money in it. Mick shakes the envelope]
Eddie
Vogel: Ain't you gonna count it?
Mick Haller: I just did.
Frank Levin: [looking out of top floor window] You're so vain. Nobody would care if you killed yourself.
Mick Haller: It'd look cool. What do you think the last thing to go through your mind would be?
Frank Levin: Your asshole.
Mick Haller: Yeah.
Frank Levin: Jesus, Mick, are you starting to think Louis is innocent?
Mick Haller: He just might. Besides, you know, my father always said about an innocent client.
Frank Levin: No, I've never heard this. Hi...
Maggie McPherson: He said 'there's no client as scary as an innocent man'.
Mick
Haller: That's right. 'Cos if you screw up and he goes to prison... You're never gonna be able to live with yourself.
