Litigiously Yours, Alan Shore
Now that OLA’s over, I content myself by living vicariously through the courtroom adventures of Alan Shore in Boston Legal. I love him! He is all at once funny and sarcastic and sensitive and irreverent.
Here are some of my favorite BL moments courtesy of imdb.com:
Alan Shore: What’s your specialty?
Dr. Allen Konigsberg: Couples’ counseling. I first saw the client and his wife together. Since the divorce I’ve been working with him alone.
Alan Shore: So they came to you to improve their relationship, and now one wants to kill the other. Not your best work, was it, doctor?
++++++
Judge Harry Hingham: Alright already, I’ve heard enough. I’m going to rule on this.
Alan Shore: You can’t rule yet!
Judge Harry Hingham: Why not?
Alan Shore: I don’t know.
(If we can but say this in court!!)
+++++
Denny Crane: You’re one of those environmental lawyers?
Peter Barrett: Is there something wrong with that?
Denny Crane: They’re evildoers. Yesterday it’s a tree, today it’s a salmon, tomorrow it’s, "Let’s not dig up Alaska for oil because it’s too pretty." Let me tell you something, I came out here to enjoy nature, don’t talk to me about the environment.
Alan Shore: All reality, none of it scripted.
+++++++++
Bernard Ferrion: I never meant for it to happen.
Alan Shore: I am very disappointed. I gave you a terrific speech last week, Bernie, appealing to the kind inner you. It was wonderful - poignant, even, and how you have completely mooted it by committing murder again.
Bernard Ferrion: I never meant to kill her!
Alan Shore: Well, what? You just went over there to make an omelet and things got out of hand?
++++++++
Denny Crane: [walking through a crowd of reporters] dennycranelaw.com. Pictures, bios, hobbies. I once captained my own spaceship. Muli-talented.
+++++++++++
Alan Shore: Ah, Denny, I’ve hardly seen you this episode.
++++++
Alan Shore: (sees Denny in a flamingo costume like his) You look pretty in pink.
(hehehe! I love it! In case you didn’t know, James Spader played Andrew McCarthy’s asshole bestfriend in Pretty in Pink.
