"Devil's Advocate"

“Everything looks different from above, doesn’t it?” - Yes, that's for sure.

Money inevitably leads to the top.

Be with the crowd. I love the crowd.

I know everything, but I can’t do everything.

Know how to benefit from everything and then forget it.

250 pounds of selfish greed on wheels.

Perhaps God has gambled too often with the future of humanity.

Vanity is definitely my favorite sin. It is so fundamental, self-love is a natural drug.

Devil's Advocate (film)

"Devil's Advocate"

(eng.
The Devil's Advocate
) - a mystical drama based on the novel of the same name by Andrew Neiderman. A talented lawyer from Florida, Kevin Lomax, after another successful trial, is invited to New York to work in the large law firm of John Milton.

Director: Taylor Hackford. Writers: Jonathan Lemkin and Tony Gilroy.

Tagline:

«
Evil has its own path to victory.
»

As your lawyer, I advise you to stay away from me.

As your attorney, I'm advising you to keep the fuck away from me.

The start was not bad, but no one managed to win all their lives.

It was a nice run, Kev. Had to close out someday. Nobody wins them all.

Kevin Lomax:

We need to print numbers four and six.
I would also get rid of number twelve, but the prosecutor will do it for us. Maisel:
Number six?
Are you kidding? She is my trump card. Kevin Lomax:
And my throwaway candidate.
Maisel:
Fourth?
The one with the pigtails? This is in vain: he is a juror for the defense and is absolutely loyal. Kevin Lomax:
Have you seen his shoes?
Maisel:
Listen, genius, maybe in Florida you're really worth something, but here in New York, my fetter, we don't squeeze juice out of oranges here.
Kevin Lomax:
He cleans these boots every day.
And he washes his own clothes. You think he's a good-natured fellow - I'm sure he sleeps with a gun under his pillow. He is one of those who cultivates only his own garden. And number six, your favorite, is a woman with a broken life. Maisel:
She's a Catholic school teacher.
Believes in human compassion. Kevin Lomax:
No. She's clearly not okay. Is there something wrong. She wants to administer justice because she dreams of taking revenge for her grievances. — before the trial in which Kevin selects a jury

Kevin Lomax:

Let's get rid of Number four, six.
I'd say lose Number twelve, but the prosecutor's gonna fuck up and do it for us. Meisel:
Number six?
You're kidding, right? She's my first choice. Kevin Lomax:
She's my first pass.
Meisel:
And four?
With the dreadlocks? That's crazy. That's a defendant's jury. Kevin Lomax:
Did you see his shoes?
Meisel:
Look, kid, maybe down in Florida you are the next big thing.
This is New York. We're not squeezing oranges here. Kevin Lomax:
He polishes those shoes every night.
He makes his own clothes. He looks like a brother with an attitude, but I see a man with a gun under his bed. And woe betide the creature who steps into his garden. Number six... your favorite... she's damaged goods. Meisel:
She's a Catholic schoolteacher.
Believes in human frailty... Kevin Lomax:
No. Something's missing from her. She's wrong. She wants on this jury. Somebody hurt her and she wants revenge.

Killing with kindness is our secret.

That's our secret: kill you with kindness.

John Milton:

I'm sure you have a secret.
Kevin Lomax:
Men's room. In the men's bathroom at the Duval County Courthouse, there is a hole in the wall into the next room—I listened to the jury deliberate for over five years.

John Milton:

I was sure you had a secret.
Kevin Lomax:
The men's room. Upstairs men's room in the Duval County courthouse. There's a hole in the wall to the next room. I spent five years listening to juries deliberately.

There is a chicken here, the champion tick-tock-tock, always wins. She's a celebrity!

There's a chicken, plays tic-tac-toe, never loses. He's famous.

Be with the crowd. I love the crowd.

Stay in the trenches. Only way I travel.

Know how to benefit from everything and then forget it.

You use it. You embrace it. And then you move on.

John Milton:

This is your wife, guy.
She is sick and needs you to take care of her. But here’s what’s strange: didn’t it really occur to you to give up this business? Kevin Lomax:
I'm afraid of one thing.
I'll quit this case, she'll feel better... and I'll hate her. And I don't want to carry a grudge, John. I can win this case, I should win, I will do my job and then... then... I will do everything to help her. John Milton:
I give in, I persuaded him. — Milton persuades Kevin to quit his business and devote himself to helping his wife

John Milton:

It's your wife!
She's sick, she needs you. She's got to come first. All right, wait a minute. Do you mean the possibility of leaving this case has never entered your mind? Kevin Lomax:
You know what scares me?
I quit the case, she gets better… and I hate her for it. I don't want to resent her. I've got a winner here. I've got to nail this fucker down and put it behind me. Just get it done. Then... then... put all my energy into her. John Milton:
I stand corrected.

Human appetite has increased to such an extent that it can split atoms through its lust. Their egos have reached the size of a cathedral. By smearing even wretched dreams with fantasies green like dollars and yellow like gold, you can ensure that every human being turns into an ambitious emperor and deifies himself. While we are busy making one deal after another, who will take care of our planet? And this is at a time when you can’t breathe air and you can’t drink water, even bee honey takes on a metallic taste of radioactivity. Everyone is busy trading contracts for the future, but there is no future anymore: there are a billion Eddie Greyhounds in us, jogging into the future, and each of them is ready to abuse God’s former planet, and then refuse to bear responsibility. When they touch the computer key to calculate their hours of work, paid in dollars, the epiphany will come, but it will be too late - they will have to pay the bills, they will try to refuse their obligations - it will not work.

You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire. You build egos the size of cathedrals. Fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse. Grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own god. As we're scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet? As the air thickens, the water sours, even bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity and it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare. It's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future. We got a runaway train, boy. We got a billion Eddie Barzoons all jogging into the future. Every one of them is getting ready to fistfuck God's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean, as they reach out toward their pristine cybernetic keyboards to tote up their fucking billable hours. And then it hits home. You got to pay your own way, Eddie. It's a little late in the game to buy out now.

Perhaps God has gambled too often with the future of humanity, leaving us all to our fate.

Maybe God threw the dice once too often. Maybe He let us all down.

Kevin Lomax:

Who are you?
John Milton:
Oh, I have so many names...
Kevin Lomax:
Satan?
John Milton:
Call me dad.

Kevin Lomax:

What are you?
John Milton:
I have so many names.
Kevin Lomax:
Satan.
John Milton:
Call me Dad.

Vanity is definitely my favorite sin. It's so fundamental. Self-love is a natural drug.

Vanity is definitely my favorite sin. Kevin, it's so basic. Self-love. The all-natural opiate.

John Milton:

Feelings of guilt are like a bag of heavy bricks - just throw them off your shoulders.
Christabella Andreoli:
I know how you feel - I went through it myself.
Come to me, come, and quickly throw off this burden. Kevin Lomax:
I can't do that.
John Milton:
Who are you carrying all these bricks for?
For God? Really, for God? So let me tell you a little secret about our God. He likes to watch, he's a big prankster - think about it: he gives a person instinct, gives this extraordinary gift, and then, for the sake of entertainment for his space tricks video, he sets the opposite rules of the game. This is the most cruel joke in all the past centuries: look - but don’t dare touch, touch - but don’t dare taste, try - but don’t dare swallow. And while you are jumping from one foot to the other, what is he doing? He laughs so hard that his disgusting ass is about to burst from the effort, and he is a notorious hypocrite and sadist, he is just a racketeer, and he will never worship such a God. Kevin Lomax:
“Is it better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven?”
[1] John Milton:
Why not? Here on earth, I have been immersed in its concerns since the creation of the World, I nurtured every new product that a person dreamed of getting, I helped him in everything and never condemned him. Moreover, I never rejected him, despite all his shortcomings. I am fanatically in love with a person. I am a humanist, perhaps the last one on Earth. Who will deny, unless he is out of his mind, that the twentieth century was exclusively my century! After all, this century, Kevin, from alpha to omega, is mine. I have reached the pinnacle of power. Now is my finest hour, our finest hour.

John Milton:

You know, I'll tell you, boy… guilt it's like a bag of fucking bricks.
All you got to do is set it down. Christabella Andreoli:
I know what you're going through.
I've been there. Just come here. Come here. Let it go. Kevin Lomax:
I can't do that.
John Milton:
Who are you carrying all those bricks for?
God? Is that it? God? I'll tell you... let me give you... let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do? I swear, for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic, gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow. And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, what is He doing? He's laughing his sick, fucking ass off! He's a tightass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? Never! Kevin Lomax:
“Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven”, is that it?
John Milton:
Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began! I've nurtured every sensation man has been inspired to have! I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him! Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections! I'm a fan of man! I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist. Who, in their right mind, Kevin, could possibly deny the 20th century was entirely mine? All of it, Kevin! All of it. Mine. I'm peaking, Kevin. It's my time now. It's our time.

As the saying goes: “there is no hell worse than the revenge of a deceived woman.”

Conscience, when you approach the law with its standards, turns out to be extra baggage. Otherwise, why would there be legal practice at all if everyone lived according to their conscience?

When everything just goes into your hands like this, you inevitably start to get nervous

“Women need to be pampered sometimes, Kevin,” he said in a paternally patronizing tone. - You must always remember the signs of attention. This way you remind them what they mean in your life. Adam neglected Eve in paradise and paid dearly for it later.

Connections and acquaintances are the first priority these days.

It will no longer surprise you that this world is full of pain and suffering. God doesn't seem to care much about him lately.

Conscience, when you approach the law with its standards, turns out to be extra baggage. Otherwise, why would there be legal practice at all if everyone lived according to their conscience?

As the saying goes: “there is no hell worse than the revenge of a deceived woman.” Ideals, principles, whatever you call them, ultimately don't matter. There is only one lesson to be learned - everything has its price.

Empathy... is a wonderful quality, but there is no place for it in the legal system. It is a subjective and imperfect feeling that is constantly changing, whereas the law should be perfect, timeless and universal.

… People always choose what is good for them. Ideals, principles and all that... In the end, none of this matters. There is only one lesson to be learned: everything and everyone has its price...

The first impression is too often the last.

Someday you will realize what you did and hate yourself.

It should not surprise you that there is so much pain and suffering in the world. But Jesus doesn't seem to care.

- However, there is no doubt that the devil is always with us. Some part of his essence always manifests itself in us, just like the characteristics of the Lord. Many see this as a result of the Fall of Adam and Eve. I don’t know if I personally would subscribe to such a theory, because I believe that each of us has the potential for good and evil. Either one or the other. (Father Vincent).

... the prosecutor's office and the legal profession are like two knives that are constantly sharpening against each other. The more sophisticated the lawyers, the more sophisticated – over time – the prosecutors become. This is their job. And we understand this. And we appreciate it. In the same way, I step on the detective’s tail, not allowing them to relax and pointing out mistakes - and they hate me for it (Prosecutor Bob McKenzie).

“Miriam, you’re not a geisha.” You are my wife. I always wanted you to share with me my sorrows and joys, defeats and successes. So that you are part of me, and I am part of you. “I don’t want to hear about any unpleasant things, Kevin,” she said firmly. – I just don’t want to. Mr Milton is right. It's like shoes that you leave outside the door so you don't bring dirt home. A person’s home is his personal piece of heaven (Kevin, Miriam).

The room—or, more appropriately, the hall—was lit by rows of hidden lights running along the ceiling, and several Tiffany and Waterford crystal chandeliers of various shapes and sizes cast light on the ottomans and sofas. To the right was a stone-look bar with a long oak counter. Along it, high bar stools on long legs, with black seat caps, lined up like mushrooms. A couple of bartenders deftly worked behind the counter, shaking shakers and doubling in the mirrors, which created the illusion of delayed movements. Glasses of different sizes hung above them; the light played in them, like in spring icicles. Immediately to the left of the entrance is a miniature dance floor covered in scarlet glass with backlighting. The intermittent light of a strobe flashed above him, scattering a rain of blue-green-red spots on the guests, who were so wildly twisting and bending to the beat of the music, as if the devils were roasting them. The dance floor was surrounded by a wall of mirrors, so it was difficult to guess the number of dancers who looked at their reflections whenever they wanted. There were plenty of half-naked women surrounded by men in suits and fashionable jackets. Waiters in black tailcoats and waitresses in white blouses scurried between them with trays of hot delicacies, snacks, cocktails, and glasses of champagne. Men and women squirmed and shook as if experiencing an orgasm. In the very center of the room, a curvaceous red-haired woman, barefoot and wearing what looked like a slip, was walking towards the bar with a floating gait. Everyone, including women, looked back at her. In the bright light, her breasts practically showed through - she might as well be going “topless,” Kevin thought. It seems that he and Miriam ended up at some kind of ancient Roman orgy, transferred to the present day.

I hate it when people can’t choose: white or black, good or evil. Life becomes much easier when we take a certain position in it, doesn't it? (John Milton).
