XRiley: Quinn! Have you given any more thought to a plea bargain?
Quinn: I told you then and I'll tell you now: no deals. The C.A. (Commonwealth's Attorney) says I get to take this one all the way.
Riley: But why?
Quinn: Come on, Riley, you know he's guilty.
Riley: Even if that were true --
Quinn: Hah!
Riley: Even then, it wouldn't matter. These charges are ludicrous, Quinn! A Class Three felony for destroying an unoccupied house?
Quinn: The office building was occupied.
Riley: But for that charge you're claiming willful destruction when it was clearly an accident. This isn't like you, Quinn. So. Who's pushing the Commonwealth's Office to nail my client to the wall?
Quinn: ... none of this matters. Your client is a criminal, and for once I don't have to play around with dirty deals. And no one -- especially not a jury -- is going to care what class of felony I use to put him away.
Riley: My client cares. It's that bit about twenty years longer in jail. It gets their attention every time.
