Joanna Merlin: Judge Lena Petrovsky

Quotes 

• Katie Nicholson : [Judge Petrovsky bangs her gavel, hurting Katie's ultra-sensitive hearing]  AHHHHHHH!

  Judge Lena Petrovsky : [horrified]  I'm sorry.

  Katie Nicholson : That's okay. Can I have a hug?

  Judge Lena Petrovsky : [taken aback]  No.

  [Katie frowns] 

  Judge Lena Petrovsky : Well, maybe later.

• A.D.A. Casey Novak : [questioning Katie on the witness stand during the trial for Alex Parvin:]  Katie, did you hear the man who was in the bedroom with your mother say anything besides, 'Come here, baby, you smell good'?

  Katie Nicholson : Yes.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : What did he say?

  Judge Lena Petrovsky : [after Katie begins to imitate sexual moans and groans]  That's enough, Katie.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Katie, you pointed out Alex Parvin as the one who argued with, and hit, your mother. Is that right?

  Katie Nicholson : Yes. He used the wrong word. But, my dad said it's really a bad word for girls.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : How could you tell the difference between Alex's voice and his father's?

  Katie Nicholson : Mr. Parvin is even-tempo, large pitch, deep timbre. Alex is fast-tempo, high pitch, medium timbre. I study music. My teacher says singing and talking are alike. I know what I heard.

  [Slight pause] 

  Katie Nicholson : The End.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : [smiles]  Thank you.
