You can ignore the cameraman putting the camera in your face, but welcome back to the Dinner Party Show, Marcia Clark. We're glad you're here. Marcia Clark: My apologies. Oh my God. Jan Burke: It's LA. There's carnage somewhere. Marcia, Marcia. Marcia. Marcia Clark: So be of good cheer, right? Eric Shaw Quinn: Cheer up. Somebody's dead somewhere. Christopher Rice: Somebody's dead. Eric Shaw Quinn: You used to be the DA, you know. Marcia Clark: I still know. I'm still practicing.
