Erin Brockovich: For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please, don't ask me to give it up.
Erin Brockovich: Look, I don't know shit about shit but I know right from wrong!
Erin Brockovich: Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because... to tell you the truth... I'm not up to it.
Erin Brockovich: Oh, you fucking piece of CRAP with no signal!
George: What's the matter? You got so many friends, you don't need one more?
Erin Brockovich: I gave the whole town a blow job.

Erin Brockovich: Wrong Ed.
Erin Brockovich: I gave the whole town a blow job.
Theresa Dallavale: Okay, look, I think we got off on the wrong foot here... Erin Brockovich: That's all you got, lady. Two wrong feet in fucking ugly shoes.
Erin Brockovich: Ya know why everyone thinks that all lawyers are backstabbing, bloodsucking scumbags? 'Cause they are! And I cannot believe you expect me to go out, leave my kids with strangers and get people to trust you with *their* lives while all the while you're screwing me! You know, Ed, it's not about the number! It's about the way my work is valued in this firm, it's the... Ed Masry: Like I was saying, I thought that the number you proposed was inappropriate, so I increased it. Ed Masry: Do they teach beauty queens how to apologize? Because you suck at it! Erin Brockovich: Uh, Ed... uh... thank you... uh...
Erin Brockovich: Now, I'm smart, I'm hard-working and I'll do anything... and I'm not leaving here without a job. Erin Brockovich: Don't make me beg. If it doesn't work out, fire me... But don't make me beg!
Erin Brockovich: I was pulling out real slow, and out of nowhere his Jaguar comes racing around the corner like a bat outta hell... Erin Brockovich: They took some bone from my hip and put it in my neck; I didn't have insurance so I'm about $17,000 in debt right now. Erin Brockovich: I couldn't take painkillers 'cause they made me too groggy to take care of my kids... Erin Brockovich: Matthew's eight, Katie's almost six and Beth's just nine months... Erin Brockovich: I just wanna be a good mom, a nice person, a decent citizen. Just wanna take good care of my kids. You know? Ed Masry: Yeah... I know. Defending Lawyer: $17,000 in debt? Is your ex-husband helping out? Erin Brockovich: Which one? Defending Lawyer: There's more than one? Erin Brockovich: Yeah, there's two. Why? Defending Lawyer: Right, no doubt. Defending Lawyer: So, you must've been feeling pretty desperate that afternoon. Erin Brockovich: What's your point? Defending Lawyer: Broke, three kids, no job. A doctor in a Jaguar must've looked like a pretty good meal ticket. Erin Brockovich: What? Erin Brockovich: He hit me! Defending Lawyer: So you say! Erin Brockovich: He came tearing around the corner out of control! Defending Lawyer: An ER doctor who spends his days saving lives was the one out of control... Erin Brockovich: THAT ASSHOLE SMASHED IN MY FUCKING NECK!
Donna Jensen: You're a lawyer? Erin Brockovich: NO, no... I hate lawyers. I only work for them.
Ed Masry: This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal. Erin Brockovich: Kind of like David and what's-his-name. Ed Masry: It's kind of like David and what's-his-name's whole fucking family. Ed Masry: Okay, here's the deal: If, and only if, you find all the evidence to back this up, I'll do it, I'll take it on. Erin Brockovich: You're doing the right thing, Mr. Masry. Ed Masry: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remind me of that when I'm filing for bankruptcy.
Ed Masry: I'd love to help, Erin, but I'm sorry, I have a full staff right now, so... Erin Brockovich: Bullshit. If you had a full staff, this office would return a client's damn phone calls.
Donna Jensen: 'Cause of the chromium. Erin Brockovich: The what? Donna Jensen: The chromium. Well, that's what kicked this whole thing off.
Ed Masry: You're emotional, you're erratic. You say anything, you make this personal, and it isn't. Erin Brockovich: Not personal? That is my work! My sweat! My time away from my kids! If that's not personal, I don't know what is. Ed Masry: Hey, come on. Come on. Go home. Get well. Because you're no good to me sick. I need you, all right? This case needs you.
Erin Brockovich: Those are my files. Theresa Dallavale: Yeah, we had them couriered over, and listen, good work, they're a great start, we're just going to have to spend a little time filling in the holes in your research. Erin Brockovich: Excuse me, Theresa is it? There are no holes in my research. Theresa Dallavale: No offense, there're just some things we need you probably didn't know to ask. Erin Brockovich: Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot, okay? I may not have a law degree, but I've spent 18 months on this case and I know more about these plaintiffs than you ever will. Theresa Dallavale: Erin, you don't even have phone numbers for some of them. Erin Brockovich: Whose number do you need? Theresa Dallavale: Everyone's, this is a lawsuit, we need to be able to contact the plaintiffs. Erin Brockovich: I said whose number do you need? Theresa Dallavale: You don't know 600 plaintiffs' numbers by heart. Theresa Dallavale: Annabelle Daniels. Erin Brockovich: Annabelle Daniels: 714-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. Lived on the plume since birth. Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. Her parents are Ted & Rita.

His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter *also* lived on the plume. Their number is 454-9554. You want their diseases?
Erin Brockovich: Boy, do I know how you feel. The first time I heard that number, ooh, I said, "You're kidding me." Forty goddamned percent? Ed Masry: Erin? Erin Brockovich: I'm the one that's injured, and this joker sits at a desk all day and he wants almost half of my reward? Ed Masry: Erin, can l--? Erin Brockovich: But then l asked him what he makes if I don't get anything. Ed Masry: Then I don't get anything either. Erin Brockovich: Plus, he's out all the costs. So I realized... he's taking a chance too.
Kurt Potter: PG&E has requested that we submit the binding arbitration. Erin Brockovich: What's that? Kurt Potter: That's where we try the case without a jury, just before a judge, it's called a test trial, and the judge's decision is final, there's no appeal. How many plaintiffs do you have? Erin Brockovich: 634. Kurt Potter: Well they'll never try that many all at once. So we need to get them together in groups of 20 or 30: worst cases, most life-threatening, the sickest in the first group, and so on and so on, and each one gets to go before the judge to determine damages. PG&E has proposed that they're liable anywhere between 50 and 400 million. Erin Brockovich: So, wait a minute, um... let me just get this straight. Ed Masry: If we went to trial, PG&E could stretch this over 10 years with appeal after appeal. Those people in Hinkley would... Erin Brockovich: These people are expecting a trial, that's what *we* told them, you and me, they won't understand this.
Donna Jensen: An on-site monitoring well? That means that... Erin Brockovich: It was right up on the PG&E property over there. Donna Jensen: And you say this stuff, this hexavalent chromium, it's poisonous. Erin Brockovich: Yeah. Donna Jensen: Well, Erin, it's just got to be different than what's in our water, because ours is okay, the guys from PG&E told me, they sat right in the kitchen and told me that it was fine. Erin Brockovich: I know, but the toxicologist I've been talking to, he gave me a list of problems that can come from hexavalent chromium exposure, everything you all have is on that list. Donna Jensen: No, no, no, no that's not what... that's not what our doctor said. He said that, well, that one's got absolutely nothing to do with the other. Erin Brockovich: But PG&E paid for that doctor. Donna Jensen: Ashley! Shanna! Get out of the pool now!
Erin Brockovich: Would you like another beer, or... Charles Embry: My uh... my cousin passed away yesterday. He had kidney tumors, no colon, his intestines were eaten away, 41 years old. I remember seeing him over at the plant he'd be cleaning the cooling towers, he'd be wearing one of those, what do you call them? Erin Brockovich: Mask? Charles Embry: Yeah, doctor's masks, and it'd be soaked in red from the nosebleeds.
Charles Embry: I was working in the compressor, and out of nowhere this supervisor calls me up to the office and says 'We're gonna give you a shredder machine and send you down to the warehouse to shred the documents we have stored there'. Erin Brockovich: He say why? Charles Embry: Nope, and I didn't ask. Erin Brockovich: Did you get a look at the stuff you destroyed? Charles Embry: It was a lot of dull stuff, vacation schedules and the like. But then there were a few memos about the holding ponds, the water in them, had readings from the test wells, stuff like that. Erin Brockovich: You were told to destroy those? Charles Embry: That's right. Of course as it turns out, I wasn't a very good employee.
