Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“On September 23, 2002, a man entered a Bank One branch in Grand Rapids, Michigan, approached a teller window, and demanded “your hundreds, your fifties,” and a pack of tens. Tolan-da Staten, the teller, testified that the robber ordered her to either “[g]o talk to them,” or “[djon’t talk to them,” but she was uncertain exactly what he said. Staten was so distraught she forgot bank procedures and her manager’s name, but she did give the robber a pack of tens with a dye pack in it. After the robber fled, she shouted to the bank manager that she had been robbed and called the police to give them a description of the robber.”
