--->'''Denny''': [[RunningGag Denny Crane]], [[CanadaEh eh?]]

* Also: "Knee! Right Foot! Left Foot! Thank God for guns, eh Jerry?"

* The plot of ''Dances with Wolves'' begins after Denny shoots a mugger that was holding him and Jerry at gunpoint.

* ''Dances with Wolves'' plot begins with Denny shooting a mugger that has him and a coworker at gunpoint.

** The girl herself, Abby, is truly remarkable. After having unprotected sex with her boyfriend, she contracts HIV, and realizes that part of the reason why she didn't use protection was because her school had taught her that condoms were ineffective--a flat-out lie. So what does she do? Takes herself down to Crane, Poole, and Schmidt, parks herself in Alan's office, and asks him to represent her so she can sue her school for lying to students and failing to teach them about safe sex. She takes responsibility for having unprotected sex, but holds her ground against the school, pointing out their failure to truly educate her and the other students. She's fully aware that the publicity of the lawsuit means everyone will know she has HIV, but considers it a worthy sacrifice to hold the school accountable. She doesn't even really expect to win; she just recognizes that ''someone'' needs to speak up, and it's going to be her--even as her parents try and talk her out of it. She even threatens to ''emancipate herself'' if that's what it'll take to be allowed to pursue this case. Throughout the trial, she's calm, collected, and intelligent, refusing to be intimidated by anyone and determined to stand up for herself and other students who could be hurt because of this shitty system. ''Damn'', girl!

::: And ''they win''.

*** Once, he turns it into a literal spectacle - he causes a sir in the media about a case and hires a PR firm, which proceeds to contaminate the objectivity of the entire jury pool with aggressive marketing. The district attorney is forced to quietly drop the case and hype another one, since there's no way for them to win it.

** And ''they win''.

* Not a closing statement per se, but Alan's speech against the Chinese [[spoiler: investors that took over the law firm and fired all the main characters]] was so awesome that every other member of the BunnyEarsLawyer club was very proud of him [[spoiler: and it got their jobs back]].

* When Jerry is called a "Demento" by an annoying guy in a coffee shop. Naturally, his BerserkButton is hit, and he chucks a ''blueberry muffin'' at the guy's head. When the guy goes to throw a punch, Jerry knocks him out and breaks his nose in one shot. He then continues to do a victory dance and executes a ThemeTuneCameo.

** His suit against a group that claims it can 'cure' homosexuality is even better--he actually starts it by attempting to get on a soapbox then 'diagnoses' the jury with various innocuous diseases. All this is just a run up to a huge rant about 'selling sickness'.

* [[TheComicallySerious Brad and Denise]] impersonating FBI agents to rescue the little kid abducted by the pedophile. The spoilered bit in CrossesTheLineTwice is only a ''fraction'' of it. Also kind of heartwarming, [[FridgeBrilliance if you think about it]] -- two bigshot lawyers risk jail time, to say nothing of their careers, to [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight screw the rules and do what's right]]. And they do it without a ''second'' of hesitation.

* Alan tries a case for a former flame, Renata, who is accused of killing her groom to be - problem is, a person similar to her was seen at the crime scene. It turns out that she exchanged identities with someone and she maintains that the woman returned and wanted her identity back - she killed the groom becauser Renata refused to return to her old life. Turns out that his client really was the culprit and that she murdered the original Renata earlier, immediately after she returned to get her identity back. What's the awesome moment? Alan manages to have his cake and eat it. He successfuly defends his client, but the moment the D.A. comes in with a deal, he takes it. He then explains to Renata that he knows about everything and without dropping a beat tells her that if she doesn't take the less-than-ideal deal, he'll gleefully ignore attorney-client privilege and disbar himself so she can rot in prison.

-->'''Ronald Jessel''': Oh, come on, man. Probably did her a favor. I got AIDS, Denny Crane. She could have had a lot of suffering ahead because I really went to town. You know what I mean? She's probably lucky I ended it quick.

--->'''Alan''': Knowing as I do that we Americans are known for our shock-and-awe tactics, I will leave you with these two ''mesmering'' words.

* Jerry Espenson manages to stage a single crowning moment of both awesome ''and'' [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck fail]] by holding a knife to his employer's throat and then legally maneuvering ''a law firm'' into a position where they had to take him back instead of pressing charges.
