Boston Legal (2004–2008)

H. Richard Greene: Judge Harry Hingham

Quotes 

• Judge Harry Hingham : Alright already, I've heard enough. I'm going to rule on this.

  Alan Shore : You can't rule yet!

  Judge Harry Hingham : Why not?

  Alan Shore : I don't know.

• Al Sharpton : [bursts into the courtroom]  Sorry I'm late, Judge, I'll make this quick...

  Alan Shore : [buts in]  And subtle!

  Judge Harry Hingham : [to Sharpton]  Who the Hell are you?

  Al Sharpton : [Continues without pause]  ... The image of Santa Claus has been crafted for hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of years. We're supposed to be in a different day. Give the world a black Santa Claus, let the people have an African-American come down the chimney bearing joy and good will!

  Alan Shore : [whispers to Sharpton]  Gay, not black.

  Al Sharpton : The prejudice against gay people must stop. We all say we're for gay rights. We all say we accept homosexuality. But give a gay man a hug, sit in his lap?

  Judge Harry Hingham : [Interrupts]  Who is this man?

  Al Sharpton : [Continues without stopping]  Let the bells of tolerance ring out this Christmas. Let people open their minds as they open their presents underneath the tree. We need your mind, judge, today. Let the gay man be my brother, be your brother, be the school teacher, be the construction worker. Give the world a gay Santa Claus, God Almighty, God Almighty, God Almighty! Leave out the cookies and milk this Christmas Eve for a holly, jolly homosexual, God Almighty!

  Alan Shore : And cut!

  [Applause ensues] 

• Judge Harry Hingham : A ho-mo-sexual? That's where we're at now? Santa Clauses being played by ho-mo-sexuals?

  Alan Shore : [mockingly]  I believe "homosexual" is one word, judge. But to avoid confusion, let's say "gay".
