    Milter: "Lesbianically?"
    Ally: "No."

  142. Milter: "Allison give me your hand. I know about life, when you do find the perfect mate you‘ll love him and you‘ll commit the rest of the waking days trying to change him. Then finally, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years hence you’ll succeed and you’ll look across the table at him after having rehabilitated every one of his habits, all his idiosyncrasies and you’ll bemoan you’re not the man I married."
    Ally: "Could you hone in on a point?"
    Milter: "The younger men are trainable. If you find him attractive, if he’s smart, take him home, take him shopping, take him into your bosom. It‘s not the man that makes the man Allison it‘s the woman."

  143. Milter: "Ally give me your hand please. Would you like to be able to stop thinking about Glenn?"
    Ally: "Yes."
    Milter: "Alright. What I’m about to tell you next is highly confidential. When the attraction is sexual and only sexual that best way to extinguish it is to go to your... self with him in mind."
    Ally: "I beg your pardon."
    Milter: "It puts out the urge."
    Ally: "Are you suggesting what I think your suggesting?"
    Milter: "Libido is a thirst Allison, it‘s best to quench it. If you can do so with out him actually in the room, much neater."

  144. Ally to Milter: "You‘re a lude person."

  145. Ally: "Maybe god made another me under the theory if at first you don‘t succeed..."

  146. John after Ally bumped into him: "It‘s alright pork chop."
    Ally: "Pork chop?"
    John: "I meant to say lamb chop, damm it."

  147. Ally on the new lawyers: "They were just bickering like little children cause that‘s what they are right... little children right?."

  148. Milter: "Ally give me your hand please. Ally do you have aging issues?"
    Ally: "Why would I have those issues about that?"

  149. John: "Ally a second please it’s important. Ally enough of this, I want you, you want me, let‘s just get down to business."
    Ally: "I really don‘t have time for jokes right now."

  150. Ally: "If they‘re lucky they‘ll come to have what we have."
    John: "Yeah. What do we have?"
    Ally: "Well... you know a true plutonic relationship."

  151. Jenny: "Oh this is for me ‘Lady Is A Tramp’. That‘s what he (Glenn) use to call me, his little tramp."
    Ally: "Oh, how romantic."

  152. John: "You could call him"
    Ally: "I‘m the woman, it‘s against the law for me to make the call."
    John: "But since he’s technically the dumpee..."
    Ally: "John I am fine don‘t you see me sitting in the bar having a good time."
    John: "Yes it‘s infectious."

  153. Corretta: "Ally... he went back to Detroit."
    Ally: "Oh... to live?"
    Corretta: "Yeah, not with her but ah, to be near his son I guess."
    Ally: "Oh, so he‘s gone."
    Corretta: "Yeah."

  154. Ally: "Look we didn’t deserve to win because the harm isn’t irreparable. It may seem that way now but there will be other loves. Now I loved this boy my whole life and I thought that we were put specifically on this earth for each other but he went away, got married, came back, died, life went on and then this year I met this other boy and he was so umm..... well you‘ve met him Larry Paul."
    Reverend Harris: "Oh he‘s dandy."
    Ally: "Yeah. Thank you. Well I’ve you know, well he went away and ah, well I still love him in such a way that it‘s impossible for me to believe that anybody else could ever make me so happy but you know what Malcolm, you know what?"
    Reverend Harris: "What? Oh sorry."
    Ally: "Experience tells me that I will love again and I will be loved again. Now maybe not tomorrow and maybe not this year but I will be loved again and do you know what? Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you Malcolm?"
    Malcolm: "I think. You still believe in love."
    Ally: "Exactly, you have to. You just ah... have to."
    Malcolm: "Okay."

  155. Drill Sergeant: "Can we live without a man?"
    Ally: "No sir!"
    Drill Sergeant: "What?"
    Ally: "No! I mean yes!"
    Drill Sergeant: "Yes what?"
    Ally: "Yes sir!"
    Drill Sergeant: "What do I want to hear?"
    Ally & her troop: "Men suck sir!"
    Drill Sergeant: "I can’t here you!"
    Ally & her troop: "Men suck sir!"
    Drill Sergeant: "Say it again!"
    Ally & her troop: "MEN SUCK SIR!"

  156. Dress store clerk: "Are you chaperoning or..."
    Ally: "No, I‘m going as somebody‘s date."
    Dress store clerk: "To a prom?"
    Ally: "Um huh."
    Dress store clerk: "Aren‘t you a little vintage?"
    Ally: "Could you just help me with the dress?"
    Dress store clerk: "I have a lovely chiffon gown in stock which I thing would go lovely with your botox."

  157. Ally: "So mom says you want to kill him."
    George McBeal: "Oh no only a little."

  158. Wendy: "Can I ask you a question are you his mother?"
    Ally: "I‘m his mistress."

  159. John: "What‘s wrong?"
    Ally: "Ah nothing. No it‘s just probably one of those little moods that I get."
    John: "Specifically."
    Ally: "Uh works been a little tedious."
    John: "More specifically."
    Ally: "I‘m over tired"
    John: "And precisely"
    Ally: "Larry‘s going to dump me."
    John: "What?"
    Ally: "Yeah he‘s been acting a little uh...uh differently, odd."

  160. John: "You are making out of the biggest mountain out the most infinitesimal molehill, so he had desert with his ex-wife."
    Ally: "Coupled with my psychic feeling that something is up and along with the fact that she was dabbing his nose in sex cream"
    John: "Whipped cream."
    Ally: "It was sexual you saw it."

  161. Ally on Larry: "I broke up with him."

  162. Ally: "I knew the first time that I met him Renee that that man (Larry) would either make or break me."
    Renee: "No man is capable of doing either with you Ally and you know that."
    Ally: "Uh your right. You’re right. You’re right."
    Renee: "Whenever you get like this we always have ice cream but under the circumstances..."
    Ally: "Under the circumstances I’m gonna go to work"

  163. Ally: "He seemed erratic Renee, he didn‘t even seem like himself."
    Renee: "Well if he‘s emotionally..."
    Ally: "He‘s gone."
    Renee: "He‘s not gone."
    Ally: "He leaves notes did you know that?"
    Renee: "Sorry?"
    Ally: "He‘s can’t deal with goodbyes so he leaves notes. I‘m gonna get a note."

  164. Jeannie McBeal: "When everything’s that fine a mother worries."
    Ally: "Oh."
    Jeannie McBeal: "What‘s wrong honey."

  165. Jeannie: "You think wanting a family makes you a lesser person? You know not that you’ve ever made a habit of excepting any wisdom from me Ally but family is everything Ally. It’s where the strong live and it’s where they love."
    Ally: "I‘m not sure that I can live without him."
    Jeannie McBeal: "You’re the toughest person I’ve ever met and I hope things work out with Larry because I really do like him even if .... does but if they don‘t move on. That I know."

  166. Ally to the dancing baby: "Oh, oh don‘t... don’t you even think of shooting me. Okay now see your not real. Okay you don‘t scare. No, you know you wanna shoot me go ahead just shoot, shoot."

  167. Richard: "Hey Ally."
    Ally: "Since when do you have a key to my apartment?"
    Richard: "Oh, Jackson had copies made, happy birthday."

  168. Ally: "Now is great. I feel happy I have my friends, I have my family, I have my job and like you say I have nice outfits but I still feel alone. Now alone by myself I can take but alone while happy with someone else... oh."

  169. Renee: "You were diving across the floor to?"
    Ally: "Oh, oh that. Well that stupid dancing baby is back I was just trying to kill it. I‘m fine Renee."

  170. Ally: "Doesn‘t that make you jealous (Jackson & Elaine‘s duet)?"
    Ling: "With her, please."
    Renee: "What about me? We both slept with the guy, if I can deal so can you."
    Ling: "You two slept together?"
    Renee: "We dosed off one night watching the news."

  171. Ally: "He‘s (Larry) going to leave."

  172. Larry: "Hey birthday girl you wanna dance?"
    Ally: "I don‘t know what makes me so easy."
    Larry: "Well I did bring Sting."

  173. Ally: "Sting actually sang to me."
    Larry: "So did I. Did you notice?"
    Ally: "Oh you sang. I noticed."
    Larry: "I‘m sorry I missed most of your birthday."
    Ally: "Well you half way made up for it."
    Larry: "Half-way you think? Third of the way at best"
    Ally: "Oh, big talker tonight."
    Larry: "I love you Ally McBeal, happy birthday"

  174. Ling: "Ally I think I'm have you mental problem."
    Ally: "Which one I have many?"

  175. Ally: "I think you’re in love."
    Ling: "What! How do I snap out of it?"

  176. John: "Ally... second please. I just got a new case, I‘m off to court now and Larry is opposing counsel."
    Ally: "He is?"
    John: "Now truth be told, I don‘t ah I don’t quite have a feeling for him yet. Any buttons I could push?"
    Ally: "I have a little conflict of interest there don‘t you think?"
    John: "Well... I..I..I‘m not looking to date him I just want the upper hand from a lawyer standpoint. Your duty does lie with the client of course."

  177. Ally giving John advice: "Okay. With Larry it‘s all about rhythm. When we argue he likes to suck me into this fast patter because the fast we go he figures the fast he goes the less likelihood I'll spot what I’m about to step into.."

  178. Larry: "Ally you’re against smiling on principal, what‘s going on? What‘s going on?"
    Renee: "Don‘t look at me."
    Larry: "Okay fine then back to you, what‘s going on?"
    Ally: "Well um, well John, he asked me for a few tips on how to oppose you in court. So I suggested that he break your rhythm. You know since you’re a little useless without it. Cute, but useless."

  179. Ally: "Did you find Barry White?"
    John: "I‘m going in search of him and when I return I will have the bastard, hell or high water."
    Mark: "Did you find him yet?"
    John: "Never mind."

  180. Ally: "Objection assuming facts not in evidents, argumentative, leading."
    Larry: "Oh, Could you pick one?"
    Ally: "I pick all three. It‘s a multi-objectionable question."
    Judge Walsh: "Overruled, overruled and over ruled. Sit down Ms. McBeal."

  181. Ally: "You didn‘t have to beat him up."
    Larry: "I didn‘t beat him up."
    Ally: "No, you did Larry you were a bully."
    Larry: "Nope. Bully?"
    Ally: "See when you pick on someone who‘s smaller than you that makes you a bully."
    Larry: "Okay if you’re just... If your gonna get all angry and all."
    Ally: "I am not angry."
    Larry: "You‘re not angry?"
    Ally: "I‘m not angry!"
    Larry: "Oh, well you’re taking clean dishes from the cupboard and putting them in the washer."
    Ally: "That‘s because I‘m bored"
    Larry: "Bored?"
    Ally: "Yes I’m bored and stop making me repeat myself because that is what’s going to make me angry."

  182. Ally: "I suppose if I’m old & wrinkled and gray one day you‘ll no longer love me?"
    Larry: "No I’ll still love you, you’ll still be tall."

  183. Ling: "Look Nelle it‘s a midget. (evil stare from Ally) What?"
    Ally: "My grandfather once told me that you could measure the dignity of a person by how he is able to see the dignity in others."
    Ling: "I don‘t get it."
    Ally: "Hmmm."
    Ling: "Was it a riddle?"

  184. Ally: "You certainly seemed to be working up a sweat the other night."
    Renee: "Sport sex."
    Ally: "Sport sex?"
    Renee: "Sport sex, he wasn‘t making I contact."

  185. Ally: "Could you beat up Jackson today. Would you do that for me."
    Larry: "I‘ll have to check my schedule, what did he do now?"
    Ally: "He was honest with Renee"

  186. Ally to Larry: "Please don‘t make fun of me you’re already on thin ice for not loving me if I were half my size."

  187. Ally (to her client): "Love is um ... well... it’s like an obstacle course. Some people let the obstacles win and then there are those who don‘t."

  188. Larry: "If we cohabitate we co-decorate that’s it. End of discussion."
    Ally: "No, no shush. Men..."
    Larry: "I won‘t debate it."
    Ally: "Men, men cannot decorate it is nature, it is genetic."
    Larry: "Ah ha, alright then and by nature men need to mark their turf so tomorrow I’m telling you we‘re going to Sears to get a sofa."

  189. Ally: "Did you make love to him?"
    Elaine: "A little."
    Ally: "A little?"

  190. Jackson: "What the hell was that?"
    Ally: "I was just trying to make sure everything was on the up and up. Isn‘t that the way you like to do things... Jackson."

  191. Elaine: "I‘ve spent almost my whole adult life without a boyfriend."
    Ally: "Well gee I wonder why?"

  192. Jackson: "Ally. Larry."
    Larry: "Jackson."
    Ally: "Okay what am I missing?"
    Larry: "Jackson‘s upset I didn‘t commit malpractice and advise Julie to sign a ludicrous pre-nup"
    Jackson: "What‘s ludicrous is that your client even cares. Marriage should be about love. Now a pre-nup that‘s about money."
    Larry: "Who‘s idea was the pre-nup Jackson?"
    Ally: "Okay, okay. You know Jackson you were a little dicey just trying to slide into the"
    Jackson: "Excuse me, dicey?"
    Ally: "Well representing a...."
    Jackson: "You know what? I‘m not even in the mood for your issues"
    Larry: "Alright."
    Ally: "My issues what are my issues?"
    Jackson: "Look lady."
    Renee: "Ally."
    Larry: "Jackson."
    Jackson: "First you’re kissing me."
    Ally: "I thought you were him."
    Jackson: "Then you climb into bed."
    Ally: "I thought you were her."
    Jackson: "And your hands were all up on my privates."
    Ally: "Well because I thought it was the remote control."
    Larry: "Hold on."
    Jackson: "Felt like the remote did it?"
    Ally: "Yes it did feel like the remote control, hard, plastic."
    Renee: "Excuse me?"
    Jackson: "Oh please don‘t flatter yourself."
    Larry: "Excuse me too. You hand your hand on his"
    Jackson: "Remote."
    Renee: "Hard plastic?"
    Jackson: "Men have it when they’re sleeping"
    Larry: "Remotes?"
    Jackson: "No erections and it had nothing to do with her thin little hand."
    Ally: "Oh, well isn‘t that the remote calling the wrist skinny."
    Jackson: "What?"

  193. Larry: "We could watch TV together. You could work the remote."
    Ally: "Ooh, don‘t be gross."

  194. John to Richard: "Perhaps that‘s the essence of our friendship, I sound like an ass and you act like one."

  195. John: "Where going to California?"
    Richard: "Not just California, that little Mecca that‘s aberrant enough for you and superficial enough for."
    John: "You mean?"
    Richard: "I do, we‘re going to L.A.."

  196. Ally: "What do you mean you’re going to Los Angeles"
    Richard: "Just a two day R&R"
    Nelle: "Los Angeles?"
    Richard: "We‘re looking to broaden ourselves culturally a little. I‘m I right John"
    John: "In deed."
    Richard: "Ally, while we’re gone your senior partner pro-tem"
    Mark, Ling, Nelle & Ally: "What?"
    Richard: "Seniority."

  197. Richard: "We missed the flight John."
    John: "We‘re not going to miss the flight"
    Richard: "7 drug stores just to..."
    John: "You‘ll be glad we have the extra protection."
    Richard: "Sun lotion is sun lotion."

  198. Richard: "I didn‘t know they had trials in Los Angeles. Don‘t they just beat you up and send you to Mexico"
    John: "That‘s just the aliens."

  199. John: "It‘s hard enough these days with airlines deliberately canceling flights, causing unfurled delays on purpose, serving food with a longer life expectance of cardboard, more times than not it is cardboard. It‘s hard enough, they herd you on like cattle, flight attendants treating you like pigs. All the while your seated next to a hog blasting sulfur all the way from New York to Mississippi, is it beyond reason to rebel for three measly breaths of bacteria free air?"

  200. John to Richard: "I don‘t think we maximize our potential by taking our clothes off."

  201. John: "I‘d be happy to take a whack at you....poca... poca... take a whack at it."
    Cassandra: "Are you a good lover...poca...poca...lawyer? Forgive me my sense of humors a little naughty. Are you a good lawyer?"
    John: "I’m very good."
    Cassandra: "Well then I‘d love for you to take a whack at... it."

  202. John: "Then he hires a man to get her to stumble like a cheap episode of Temptation Island."

  203. Cassandra: "Your lips are blue John."
    John: "Well, I mean the water was cold, you think they‘d heat their pool."
    Cassandra: "But they‘re really blue."
    John: "When I chill it‘s usually to the bone."

  204. Richard: "You know that was fun, huh buddy... it was good to getaway."
    John: "Indeed."

  205. Ally: "What do you mean you’re going to Los Angeles"
    Richard: "Just a two day R&R"
    Nelle: "Los Angeles?"
    Richard: "We‘re looking to broaden ourselves culturally a little. I‘m I right John"
    John: "In deed."
    Richard: "Ally, while we’re gone your senior partner pro-tem"
    Mark, Ling, Nelle & Ally: "What?"
    Richard: "Seniority."

  206. Ally upon seeing Jackson naked: "Oh my God!"

  207. Richard: "It‘s Motown night."
    Ally: "Motown night?"
    Richard: "As in Detroit, home of the Tigers, Lions, Larry."
    Ally: "Oh, funny."

  208. John: "I never for a second thought he wouldn‘t comeback."
    Ally: "Really?"
    John: "No...no, the man knows what he’s got."

  209. Ally: "How long are you back for?"
    Larry: "Does forever work for you?... I was hoping it would."

  210. Ally: "I won‘t be able to take you leaving again."
    Larry: "Which works out well cause I don‘t plan to."

  211. Ally: "You‘ll work it out Richard because he is your best friend and you‘ll work it out with Melanie because you love her and..." Larry/John: "and the alternative is too unthinkable." Ally: "and the alternative is too unthinkable."

  212. Ally advising Elaine on men: "You love him, you be honest with him, you be there when he needs somebody to hold on to and every now & then you tell him that he has a real nice ass."

  213. Ally: "Ah...he...I-I-I was hallucinating."
    Renee: "What, you saw Larry?"
    Ally: "No"
    Renee: "Al Green?"
    Ally: "No"
    Renee: "Gloria Gaynor?"
    Ally: "No"
    Renee: "Then who did you see?"
    Ally: "Barry Manilow... call 9-1-1"

  214. Ling: "You‘re not going to get all weird again now that Larry‘s gone are you?" Ally: "Ling, I never stopped being weird."

  215. Richard: "I keep hearing noises. I hope we don‘t have rats in the walls" Melanie: "Yeeep" Ally: "That sound‘s like a dog."

  216. Ally on the phone to Larry: "How Sam? Will you sent him my love?... How‘s Jamie? Will you sent her the measles?"

  217. Ally: "Larry is not gone, he‘s in Detroit"

  218. Larry: "I will come back"
    Ally: "I know you will baby"

  219. Ally: "Mr. Larry, I love you."

  220. Ally on Larry: "He's a dream come true right till the bitter end."

  221. Larry: "Just keep hearing that song I wrote you. 'Kay and ah, don't forget"
    Ally: "Okay and don't you forget"

  222. Ally: "You want me to argue that it's okay to evaluate somebody based on looks."
    Ling: "What else is there?"
    Ally: "Ling, why don't you go somewhere and pluck an eyebrow or at least pencil one in?"
    Ling: "Back when you were attractive you didn't mind being judged on beauty alone. It's amazing how principle pops up with wrinkles."
    Ally: "I've never challenged a girl to a fight before..."
    Ling: "But since a black eye could now be at..."
    Ally: "Let's go."

  223. Larry: "The Chubby Checker?"
    Ally: "No, no, one of the other ones. Of course, the Chubby."

  224. Larry: "What do you mean, 'no-win?' Why wouldn't you win?"
    Ally: "Larry, were you not listening when I told you the facts?"
    Larry: "Yeah, she fired her for being unattractive?"
    Ally: "And you don't see anything wrong with that?"
    Larry: "Clearly I must."

    Larry: "Ally, you work at cage and fish."
    Ally: "And?"
    Larry: "Um, hmm... it's extremely well-known Richard fish only hires babes."
    Ally: "I beg your pardon?"
    Larry: "You didn't know this? It's practically on your firm's resume. Have you ever seen your firm's resume?"
    Ally: "No, Richard Fish does not hire based on-on..."
    Larry: "You, Ling, Nelle, Georgia, it's quite the kennel."
    Ally: "Where did you hear this?"
    Larry: "It's out there. Guys want to work there because of it. So do a lot of women. It's like being a Dallas cowboy’s cheerleader."

  225. Ally: "Our lawyers have legs to stand on?"
    Richard: "Fishism, no biggie."
    Ally: "Richard, I'm going to ask you one more time. Did you hire me based on my looks?"
    Richard: "(Sighs) Ally, did we know each other in law school?"
    Ally: "Not really."
    Richard: "Mm-hmm. Did I interview you for the job?"
    Ally: "No."
    Richard: "Did I ask to see a reference or a transcript?"
    Ally: "No.""
    Richard: "So all I had to go on was looks. Why bite the hand that wants to touch you?"
    Ally: "So this had nothing to do with my ability as a lawyer?"
    Richard: "What ability? I'm still looking for that. Kidding. Ally, you, Ling, Nelle, you're smart. You wouldn't be here if you weren't, but people hate lawyers. Clients think we're only out to screw them. It's just easier being screwed by a beautiful woman. Vulgarism."
    Ally: "I can't believe this."

  226. Ally: "I may have a law degree but I was hired here for being a babe."
    Elaine: "(Laughing) Oh, right. Yeah, you, you're a babe. Come on, you're hardly... I'm sure that's not true. it is?"

  227. Larry on Ally's new hat: "Have you considered several might try to nest on it at the same time? They could fight, die, and nature could suffer?" Ally: "Yes. That's, that's the first question I posed."
    Larry: "Ally, hats like this, they eventually bear fruit."
    Ally: "Mm, you're, you're very... Funny."

  228. Ally on not being jealous: "I was able to work in the same office with Georgia who was married to the first ass I ever sniffed."

  229. Nelle: "Bite my head off."
    Ally: "Don't tempt me."

  230. Ally: "It's just that I've been having this really weird vibe for whatever reason that there was something happening between you and Jamie."
    Larry: "There was."
    Ally: "Oh."
    Larry: "I kissed her."
    Ally: "Oh. Well, how was that?"
    Larry: "You know, I started to kiss her, I should say because, you know, I couldn't. Obviously, I couldn't."
    Ally: "Well, then, there's no problem, then. See, because I don't have a problem with the man I'm seeing kissing another woman so long as he breaks it off within say, what, four or five seconds?"

  231. Ally: "He kissed her, Renee, and this is the early part of our relationship. Now, imagine when we get married and he's required by law to cheat."

  232. Ally: "Love isn't always enough."
    Larry: "Yeah, it is. You go without it... Long enough and you realize it's everything."

  233. John: "Sometimes it's hard to walk home on a beautiful night when you, uh...When you have gas."
    Ally: "When you're alone?"
    John: "You know, lately I've been getting the feeling that I'm going to be alone all my life."

  234. John: "Look, I know how you massage people. You make their worries go away. You did it with Kimmy, with Elaine... Lord knows how you massage Ally.
    Larry: "Steady."
    John: "I need your help on this. Have I ever asked you for much?"
    Ally: "He'll do it, John. These are the kinds of things that he just can't say "no" to."
    John: "Thank you."

  235. Ally: "Not all guys rush, Elaine. Now, Larry and I, we dated for almost a month before we, you know..."
    Elaine: "But that's you, Ally. I'm more, you know, in heat."

  236. Elaine: "How was it with Larry? You know, the first...?"

All that stuff that you find magical about Christmas-- the tree and stockings and... Sleigh rides and making angels in the...-- I did all that with him and now I don't have him so I...
