Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series)

The Undiscovered Country (2018)

Peter Jacobson: Defense Attorney Randolph J. 'Randy' Dworkin, Esq.

Quotes 

• Randolph J. Dworkin : I have to admit, I thought my surprise quotient was filled for the year when McAdoo benched Manning. But this, I gotta tell you, on the all-time scale is up there between Bucky Dent and Charlie Rose.

  Rafael Barba : If you don't want to represent me, that's fine.

  Randolph J. Dworkin : I don't wanna represent you, I have to represent you. Cases like this whet my whistle, so to speak. So, what did the little bastard do to you?

  Rafael Barba : [standing to leave]  This was a mistake.

  Randolph J. Dworkin : Okay, okay. I'll skip the whole self-defense angle.

  Rafael Barba : I'm sorry I wasted your time, Mr. Dworkin.

  Randolph J. Dworkin : Randy. And my point is this whole thing is a sick joke. You killed something that nine out of ten doctors would say wasn't alive.

  Rafael Barba : What about the tenth doctor?

  Randolph J. Dworkin : Look, you wanna prove a point, and I wanna prove a point. It's what my nana would call the perfect shidduch.

  Rafael Barba : What point do you want to prove?

  Randolph J. Dworkin : That the government's power has grown too damn much. That the bigger the government gets, the smaller it leaves the individual. That once the government takes away our right to die, it takes away our right to live. How am I doing so far?
