Get my brother released
Claudia: How is he?
Jason: His fever broke. He’s going to be okay.
Claudia: Were you here all night? Poor guy. I’m glad you stayed with him.
Claudia: I’m glad Spinelli wasn’t alone all night.
Jason: Spinelli needs to rest.
Claudia: Oh, and you don’t? You’re such a tough guy, you can recover from Asian ague just like that?
Jason: You can leave now.
Claudia: I get to visit Spinelli. He’s a sweet kid. And I like him.
Spinelli: The Jackal reciprocates Vixenella’s warm sentiments.
Claudia: Hey, handsome. How are you feeling?
Spinelli: I’m better now, thanks to your tender care and concern during my time of fever and desperation.
Claudia: Jason actually was the one who took care of you. I just tagged along.
Spinelli: Well, I am wingman to his captain.
Claudia: Well, you’ll be flying out of here in no time.
Spinelli: Most grateful thanks.
Claudia: I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Jason: I guess she likes you.
Spinelli: I think Vixenella cares for my health in the sense of feeling sorry for the fallen sparrow, but she was here today because of you. It is most clear that Vixenella has feelings for Stone Cold.
Claudia: I want to see my brother. Right now.
Mac: One visitor at a time.
Claudia: Well, tell whoever’s in there to get out.
Mac: I’m not John Zacchara’s social secretary. You’re going to have to wait.
Claudia: I don’t think so.
Mac: Are you trying to make me arrest you?
Ric: Take it easy. No problem. No problem. It’s a court order for John Zacchara’s immediate release.
Claudia: I’m impressed.
Ric: What does that mean, you’re going to say thank you?
Claudia: Has my brother been released?
Ric: He will be.
Claudia: Great, that’s when you’ll get your thank you.
Ric: Hello, D.A. Here’s your court order. John Zacchara should be released immediately.
Alexis: How many favors did this cost you?
Ric: Actually, none. John Zacchara was over-charged in the first place. He shouldn’t have spent five minutes in the squad room, let alone overnight in jail. I also have three sworn affidavits from different witnesses saying that Logan struck first.
Alexis: You’ve done some very competent work here, Counselor. Cashing in all those favors must have just moved things right along.
Claudia: Why are we all just standing around here? Ric did your job for you. Get my brother released.
Mac: That’s up to the D.A.
Alexis: Well, it turns out that your lawyer wasted his time and your money because our office came up with the same conclusion without a court order or so-called witnesses. The charges are being dropped.
Mac: Zacchara, let’s go.
Claudia: Hi, honey.
Alexis: Just to be clear, this office is dropping all the charges.
Ric: Yes, and your father wants to see the both of you as soon as John was released.
Johnny: I have other plans.
Claudia: Johnny, come on. You don’t want to let Daddy down, do you?
Johnny: I’ll see you later.
