Fred: _Settle_?! After all the stuff Trent has pulled? No way!
Mrs. Duncan: Fred, I'm sorry. But I think it's for the best.
Mrs. Duncan: I know you picked me because I was the only lawyer you knew and you could trust, and I'm honored that you think of me that way, but I don't think I'm the right person to represent you.
Mrs. Duncan: Mercedes de la Croix is ruthless and unforgiving. She will ride this case into the ground. _You_ need a lawyer just as heartless and callous as her if you want to stand a chance of escaping intact.
Mrs. Duncan: I... can't stand up to her. She's sharpened steel, and I'm... softened butter. With _me_ on your side, you can only count on losing.
