Sunny von Bülow: I'm thinking of redecorating this whole fucking house.
Sarah: I think it's easier to love somebody than to live with them. Love is fantasy - living is work.
Alan Dershowitz: I'll say. And those people don't like to work.
Sarah: But if you don't do the work, the love dies and nobody wants to deal with that one.
Raj: A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent. The kids could have framed a guilty man.
Alan Dershowitz: If the rules don't work, you change them.
Claus von Bülow: Oh, come on, Sunny, your father worked! Do you want the children to grow up thinking a male's place is in a deck chair?
Sunny von Bülow: Claus, you marry me for my money then you demand to work! You're the prince of perversion.
Claus von Bülow: Oh, I've been meaning to mention. Our understanding about... my extracurricular activities.
Sunny von Bülow: Mmm?
Claus von Bülow: I've been involved with someone who... falls outside the parameters of our agreement.
Minnie: He says he doesn't have anything that'd help us.
Alan Dershowitz: You with me?
Sarah: Paydirt.
Raj: What's paydirt?
Alan Dershowitz: He's a lawyer. If he really didn't have anything, he'd give it to us. But there's something there, and he's going to fight like hell to hold onto it.
Alan Dershowitz: You do have one thing in your favor: everybody hates you.
Claus von Bülow: Well, that's a start.
Alan Dershowitz: One thing, Claus. Legally, this was an important victory. Morally - you're on your own.
Alan Dershowitz: I gather that the older children denied that Sunny had a problem with pills and alcohol?
Claus von Bülow: A spectacular understatement.
Alan Dershowitz: Claus, did you hear what I just said?
Claus von Bülow: Of course I did! Did you hear the judge sentence me?
Alan Dershowitz: Uh, yeah, thirty years, that's tough.
Claus von Bülow: Twice trying to murder one's wife? Anything less would be monstrous.
Andrea Reynolds, Claus' Girlfriend: I made him hire you, "get the Jew," I said.
Alan Dershowitz: Can the Jew get down to business?
Alan Dershowitz: You are a very strange man.
Claus von Bülow: You have no idea.
