IVIV 'Actually I'm a marine lawyer"

[Otto]

I like Doc's habit of taking the words literally:

"People are always telling me I need a 'criminal lawyer,' which,
nothing personal, understand, but--" (27)

... "but in my opinion every lawyer is a criminal." (that's what he
isn't saying, but it's a widespread opinion.)

"a Marine who practises law?" (27) vs  "a lawyer who only represents marines."

-- that would be "JAG" (we all love Lt. Colonel Sarah MacKenzie, don't we).
