A story of a consuming friendship.

Alan Shore’s attraction to Shirley Schmidt increases as the two of them handle the case of a homeless man accused of cannibalism; Denny Crane finds himself drawn to the feisty, small-statured Bethany (Meredith Eaton-Gilden) while he helps her try a case against an HMO; and Jeffrey Coho continues his defense of accused murderer Scott Little (Ashton Holmes) in the most high profile murder case Boston has seen in years.

Episode Dialogue


Clarence: Any good news?
Shirley: Well... "Prime Time" wants to have you on.
Alan: During sweeps, they want you to eat Diane Sawyer.

__

Denny: Why are you dressed as an Indian?
Alan: Growing up, my favorite wrestler was Chief Jay Strongbow. This is how he'd enter the ring.
Denny: You look like one of the Village People.

__

Alan Shore: Shouldn’t we pee in a cup first, I don’t
Denny Crane: Mine are naturally high, let’s go.

__

Jane Baker: What I saw next… I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The jury is rapt, leaning in to hear.
A.D.A. Frank Ginsberg: What?
Alan Shore: Not to interrupt, but might this be a good time to take a break?
Judge Clark Brown: Sit down.
A.D.A. Frank Ginsberg: Tell us what you say, Ms Baker.
Alan Shore: For those of us who don’t watch the news, or the district attorney’s self-serving press conference.

__

Jane Baker: Yes, I’m sure. It was the most horrible disgusting, awful, horrible grotesque thing I ever saw in my life,--
Alan Shore: She left out--
Judge Clark Brown: Shocking.
Alan Shore: There you go.
