"It's not a cheap case, Emmett! It's big—bigger than any case we've ever fought out!"
The reporters were waiting for Jake outside the D.A.'s office.
"Is it true you're retiring, Jake?"

"Why are you representing Tony Corfino?"
"You couldn't keep me out of a case as big as this."
"Can you tell us why it's so big?"
"I can, but I won't. Not until I get before the jury."
