Mary Steenburgen credited as playing...
Grace Rinato
- Rose Rinato: Grace, I'm tired of the guilt, I'm tried of cleaning up your mess, I'm tired of you! You suck the life out of everything you touch, but you won't get Claire.
- Grace Rinato: What the hell is so special about her?
- Rose Rinato: [long pause, glares at Grace] She never killed anybody, Grace.
- Court Clerk: Docket Number 624353: People versus Grace Rinato. Two counts murder, in the second degree. Intent and depraved indifference, one count hindering prosecution, one count tampering with physical evidence.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: How do you plead?
- Grace Rinato: Not guilty.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: Remand, Your Honor.
- Harding: That's ridiculous. My client has permanent residence, she's gainfully employed by the state, she's not going anywhere.
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: The defendant committed murder. She willfully and maliciously beat a two-and-a-half year old child to death, and then callously dumped the remains in a bedroom closet to avoid justice.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: Do you propose to try your case right here, Miss Cabot?
- ADA Alexandra Cabot: No, I'm merely using rhetoric to make my point.
- Judge Lena Petrovsky: One of your more endearing qualities.
