Quote context

[...]

- What about your bosses, Haislip and Mackenzie and the rest of them? What do they say?

- Hmm. That I am jeopardizing the prestige and dignity of an old, established law firm, and either I drop this impossible case immediately or they will drop me.

- See?

- I beat them to it. I quit.

- Fred, you didn't!

- But if Haislip feels that way, so will every other law firm in town.

- I'm sure they will.

- Then I'll open my own office.

- And what kind of cases will you get?

- Oh, probably a lot of people like Kris that are being pushed around. That's the only fun in law anyway.

- I promise you, if you believe in me and have faith in me, everything will... You don't have any faith in me, do you?
