Mike Tao : If you're guilty, then why can't you tell us how you really killed him - because Keith Milano was not strangled with anyone's bare hands? And we haven't found the implement that was used to choke him death.
Russell Clark : Why do you care so much about that?
Brenda Leigh Johnson : Well, besides a passing interest in the truth, sir, if you brought that implement or weapon with you, intending to kill Dr. Milano, that is premeditated murder, and the DA gave you a parole date that you don't deserve; and, if you didn't kill Dr. Milano, and you're covering up for your son, then I should really be talking to him, sir.

Brenda Leigh Johnson : We almost met in court.

[as Charlie listens in on Brenda's interview, she finds James' statements oddly describing her own situation as well]
James Clark : But my father kept looking for things and wouldn't let us go, and... He told me to stop talking to my friends, and that's when I punched in the wall and cried a little bit.
Brenda Leigh Johnson : Why did you cry, James?
James Clark : 'Cause my father used to be so proud of me. And now, if I don't behave... If I can't...
James Clark : [suddenly smiling] I must behave very well or I will be sent away. I must make people comfortable by smiling... and... I can do that; but, also, I can make mistakes. I can slip up, so I must manage my drugs, get rid of my friends, and try to behave, or I might be sent away. But I think... I'm behaving... very well today. Yes?

Brenda Leigh Johnson : So, Charlie, how are you liking Los Angeles?
Charlie : I'd tell you, Aunt Brenda, but I'm really not allowed to have my own opinions.
