1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,389
Previously on 'Boston Legal'

2
00:00:01,424 --> 00:00:02,236
We're the new guys.

3
00:00:02,271 --> 00:00:04,669
He's officially the grossest person I've ever met.

4
00:00:04,704 --> 00:00:05,678
A post-nup?

5
00:00:05,713 --> 00:00:06,653
My idea.

6
00:00:06,654 --> 00:00:08,149
She gets my cigarette boat.

7
00:00:08,184 --> 00:00:09,099
Only if you cheat.

8
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,476
We met on Facespace. Today is our first real date.

9
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,675
Denny, it's me Bethany.

10
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:16,827
When you called me a midget, you caused me emotional distress.

11
00:00:16,862 --> 00:00:19,182
Judge Marcia Hooper was found murdered last night.

12
00:00:19,217 --> 00:00:20,164
We were having an affair.

13
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:22,066
Could my son actually be arrested?

14
00:00:22,101 --> 00:00:24,795
<i>They wouldn't be hauling him away in cuffs if they didn't have the goods on him.</i>

15
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:26,017
<i>Maybe I should do it.</i>

16
00:00:26,052 --> 00:00:27,895
<i>You mean kill judge Hooper?</i>

17
00:00:27,896 --> 00:00:30,092
<i>Maybe he wants me to kill her.</i>

18
00:00:36,365 --> 00:00:38,114
<i>And he just happened to be at the murder scene.</i>

19
00:00:38,149 --> 00:00:40,728
<i>He just happened to be having a sweet Little affair with the victim.</i>

20
00:00:40,763 --> 00:00:41,494
<i>Oh!</i>

21
00:00:41,529 --> 00:00:45,951
<i>And he just happened to be having a teeny-weeny little dream about killing her.</i>

22
00:00:45,986 --> 00:00:49,535
<i>I might have been born yesterday, folks, but I wasn't born last night.</i>

23
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:52,025
<i>Does anybody really think he didn't kill her?</i>

24
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:55,117
My God! We need to gag this woman.

25
00:00:55,152 --> 00:00:56,324
I did once.

26
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:58,611
Best sexual experience of my life.

27
00:00:58,646 --> 00:01:00,542
What are you talking about?

28
00:01:00,577 --> 00:01:02,439
She covered one of my trials.

29
00:01:02,474 --> 00:01:05,053
She's an animal.

30
00:01:05,459 --> 00:01:07,568
You had sex with this reporter?

31
00:01:07,603 --> 00:01:09,014
Please, Paul.

32
00:01:09,049 --> 00:01:10,931
A gentleman never talks.

33
00:01:10,966 --> 00:01:14,555
<i>Get with the program, folks. This guy is as guilty as sin!</i>

34
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:15,848
She's an animal.

35
00:01:15,883 --> 00:01:18,282
Denny, she seems to be on the attack.

36
00:01:18,317 --> 00:01:20,556
Did it end badly?

37
00:01:20,807 --> 00:01:22,595
Not for me.

38
00:01:29,935 --> 00:01:32,820
Your honor, Jeffrey Coho.

39
00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:35,349
I wanted to introduce myself and convey my deepest sympa...

40
00:01:35,384 --> 00:01:37,126
I know who you are, Mr. Coho.

41
00:01:37,161 --> 00:01:40,483
You're the man giving representation to the person who murdered my wife.

42
00:01:40,518 --> 00:01:43,806
Your honor, I don't believe Scott Little took the life of your wife.

43
00:01:43,841 --> 00:01:46,497
I wouldn't defend him if I thought that he did.

44
00:01:46,532 --> 00:01:49,154
Because you don't defend guilty people, is that it?

45
00:01:49,189 --> 00:01:50,621
You disgust me.

46
00:01:50,656 --> 00:01:51,316
Already?

47
00:01:51,317 --> 00:01:54,630
It's not enough that you tried to secure the freedom of an adulterer and a murderer.

48
00:01:54,665 --> 00:01:57,249
We both want the real killer brought to justice here.

49
00:01:57,284 --> 00:01:59,438
It's not Scott Little.

50
00:02:00,402 --> 00:02:02,312
Get out.

51
00:02:03,292 --> 00:02:05,460
If I may ask,

52
00:02:05,495 --> 00:02:09,882
there are rumors that your wife's infidelity extended significantly beyond my client.

53
00:02:09,917 --> 00:02:11,893
Did you know about this?

54
00:02:11,928 --> 00:02:16,205
How dare you come into this room and indict not only my late wife...

55
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,490
- I don't mean to be insensitive...
- but also my marriage!

56
00:02:18,525 --> 00:02:20,993
to the person who killed your wife, you would want to give it...

57
00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:22,544
Your client murdered my wife!

58
00:02:22,579 --> 00:02:24,039
- Because I'm told...
- Get out of my chamber!

59
00:02:24,074 --> 00:02:28,316
that you've told other people that your marriage was in trouble.

60
00:02:28,351 --> 00:02:29,650
Who told you that?

61
00:02:29,685 --> 00:02:31,976
They insisted on anonymity.

62
00:02:32,119 --> 00:02:33,598
Your honor, please.

63
00:02:33,633 --> 00:02:36,572
We all want to get to the truth of this.

64
00:02:36,931 --> 00:02:38,808
Jonathan, what are you doing here?

65
00:02:38,843 --> 00:02:40,527
I hope nothing ex parte.

66
00:02:40,562 --> 00:02:43,629
One of my staff saw you come in. What are you doing?

67
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:45,686
Trying to find out who killed Marcia Hooper.

68
00:02:45,721 --> 00:02:46,714
Don't you want to know?

69
00:02:46,749 --> 00:02:47,707
Are you kidding me?

70
00:02:47,708 --> 00:02:49,867
Certainly I'm allowed to interview potential witnesses.

71
00:02:49,902 --> 00:02:52,334
Don't tell me the tampering has already begun.

72
00:02:52,369 --> 00:02:53,577
You are out of your mind.

73
00:02:53,612 --> 00:02:56,845
Yes, how nice to remain so tightly locked inside yours.

74
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,486
Let me tell you something right now.

75
00:02:58,521 --> 00:03:00,166
If you start to intimidate my witnesses...

76
00:03:00,201 --> 00:03:03,480
Why yours? Do you have dibs?

77
00:03:03,824 --> 00:03:06,579
Is this the way you want to play it?

78
00:03:06,614 --> 00:03:08,137
Fine.

79
00:03:08,172 --> 00:03:11,462
It doesn't seem we can settle this with words.

80
00:03:12,361 --> 00:03:14,669
Maybe we should fight.

81
00:03:19,171 --> 00:03:22,219
Why does everyone in Boston just stare at me?

82
00:03:55,209 --> 00:03:56,482
Hello.

83
00:03:56,517 --> 00:03:58,103
We're looking for...

84
00:03:58,138 --> 00:03:59,980
Shirley Schmidt!

85
00:04:00,015 --> 00:04:01,823
Missy. Ivan.

86
00:04:01,858 --> 00:04:03,176
Shirley.

87
00:04:03,211 --> 00:04:05,175
We thought we'd share our good news.

88
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:07,890
We're having babies.

89
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:10,632
Congratulations.

90
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,941
Sally Bowles is pregnant.

91
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,272
We're becoming a family, Shirley. It's all falling into place.

92
00:04:18,307 --> 00:04:21,006
The happy ending, just like I dreamed.

93
00:04:21,041 --> 00:04:23,706
Yes, it is, Sally Bowles! Yes, it is!

94
00:04:23,741 --> 00:04:26,140
Honey, get the slobber towel.

95
00:04:27,527 --> 00:04:31,950
'Cause life is a cabaret, old dog.

96
00:04:31,985 --> 00:04:33,880
She's not really old.

97
00:04:33,915 --> 00:04:37,818
Life is a cabaret.

98
00:04:37,853 --> 00:04:38,920
So I hear.

99
00:04:38,955 --> 00:04:43,000
Ivan, I'm gonna leave you with the girls while I tinkle.

100
00:04:43,035 --> 00:04:45,121
Certainly, sweetheart.

101
00:04:50,172 --> 00:04:51,845
- God, I hate her.
- Oh, boy.

102
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,211
I tried this time.

103
00:04:54,246 --> 00:04:57,290
I want to love her. No, I do love her.

104
00:04:57,325 --> 00:05:00,744
She's just too much. Too much singing, too much sex.

105
00:05:00,779 --> 00:05:02,512
I'm not a young man anymore.

106
00:05:02,547 --> 00:05:05,219
And, well, there's the fact that she's stupid.

107
00:05:05,254 --> 00:05:08,122
Ivan, you're choking on your sixth wife.

108
00:05:08,157 --> 00:05:11,117
Have you ever thought about slowing down and chewing them up more carefully?

109
00:05:11,152 --> 00:05:14,746
Shirley, I know that you and I left on bad terms,

110
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:18,340
but if you have even a modicum of forgiveness in you,

111
00:05:18,375 --> 00:05:19,504
I need your help.

112
00:05:19,539 --> 00:05:21,064
But I'm Missy's attorney.

113
00:05:21,099 --> 00:05:23,899
Exactly. You wrote her post-nup.

114
00:05:23,934 --> 00:05:25,933
Where's the back door? That's all I'm asking.

115
00:05:25,968 --> 00:05:29,646
And as Missy's attorney, I should be advising her right now.

116
00:05:29,681 --> 00:05:32,952
My hunch is that she doesn't even know you want out.

117
00:05:32,987 --> 00:05:35,092
She's been busy decorating the nursery.

118
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:37,868
What I can tell you is there is no back door.

119
00:05:37,903 --> 00:05:42,809
That post-nup is as tight as your soon-to-be sixth ex-wife's tushy.

120
00:05:44,213 --> 00:05:47,256
Shirley, you wrote that post-nup right after you learned

121
00:05:47,291 --> 00:05:50,299
that I was sleeping with you while still married with Missy.

122
00:05:50,334 --> 00:05:52,373
You must have put in a loophole.

123
00:05:52,408 --> 00:05:54,378
God, that would have been smart!

124
00:05:54,413 --> 00:05:57,744
I must have been too distracted by that irritating rage.

125
00:05:57,779 --> 00:06:00,371
I'm sorry, Ivan, but that agreement clearly states

126
00:06:00,406 --> 00:06:03,985
that if you cause the dissolution of that marriage in any form,

127
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:07,421
you will lose the bulk of your assets.

128
00:06:07,810 --> 00:06:10,979
Well, then, Shirley, my first love,

129
00:06:11,014 --> 00:06:13,412
it pains me to do this.

130
00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:16,597
You're serving me?

131
00:06:16,632 --> 00:06:19,271
It's the only way I can nullify the post-nup.

132
00:06:19,306 --> 00:06:21,971
Besides, we'll be back in court together.

133
00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:23,632
It'll be fun.

134
00:06:45,474 --> 00:06:46,360
What's going on?

135
00:06:46,395 --> 00:06:48,186
Scott, I want you to listen to me

136
00:06:48,221 --> 00:06:50,274
and just hear me out for a second, okay?

137
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:51,396
I'm represented by counsel.

138
00:06:51,431 --> 00:06:54,078
And if you wish to assert that right, I will respect it and leave,

139
00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:57,179
but before you do anything, just hear what I have to say.

140
00:06:57,214 --> 00:07:00,961
You don't have to respond. In fact, I would advise you not to.

141
00:07:04,339 --> 00:07:09,942
I believe that Jeffrey Coho is placing his own grandiose interests above yours.

142
00:07:09,977 --> 00:07:11,814
The last thing that he wants to see here

143
00:07:11,849 --> 00:07:15,418
is a plea agreement or some deal that might preempt his 15 minutes.

144
00:07:15,453 --> 00:07:19,797
This is a man who covets, perhaps thrives, on media attention.

145
00:07:19,832 --> 00:07:22,587
He would rather see you convicted, in my belief,

146
00:07:22,622 --> 00:07:26,262
than give up the chance of a spectacle that might maximize his profile.

147
00:07:26,297 --> 00:07:29,320
And, Scott, this is a case that should be pled out.

148
00:07:29,355 --> 00:07:31,584
This victim was struck once.

149
00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:34,106
We know this was heat of passion. We know that you didn't mean to kill her.

150
00:07:34,141 --> 00:07:38,720
But if we go to trial, we will be charging first degree.

151
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:42,298
Scott, your semon was there.

152
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:44,263
You were having an affair with her.

153
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,849
You told your shrink that you had urges to kill her.

154
00:07:46,884 --> 00:07:48,965
There's no way that we lose this one.

155
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,148
Second degree, you could be out of here in eight years.

156
00:07:51,183 --> 00:07:54,758
First degree, you are looking at life.

157
00:07:54,793 --> 00:07:56,855
Now the reason I'm in here telling you all this is

158
00:07:56,890 --> 00:08:01,770
because someone needs to, and I suspect that it won't be Jeffrey Coho.

159
00:08:01,805 --> 00:08:06,598
He will never counsel you to give up his O.J. moment.

160
00:08:06,633 --> 00:08:11,530
If his becoming famous means you spending the rest of your life in jail,

161
00:08:11,565 --> 00:08:13,736
so be it.

162
00:08:30,541 --> 00:08:35,246
Denny Crane, in the flesh, a lot of flesh.

163
00:08:35,281 --> 00:08:36,810
You look taller.

164
00:08:36,845 --> 00:08:41,172
Oh, I'm just walking on air, just the thought of suing you.

165
00:08:41,207 --> 00:08:42,955
You said you had an offer?

166
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,704
Yes, I offer you this.

167
00:08:46,902 --> 00:08:48,374
It's a depo notice.

168
00:08:48,409 --> 00:08:48,972
That's right.

169
00:08:48,973 --> 00:08:50,940
I thought, instead of giving you money,

170
00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:54,189
I would depose and get this complaint kicked before you even begin.

171
00:08:54,224 --> 00:08:56,504
- Oh, is that what you thought?
- Yeah.

172
00:08:56,539 --> 00:08:58,272
You think you're just gonna make me go away?

173
00:08:58,307 --> 00:09:00,001
You want a war, you got a war.

174
00:09:00,036 --> 00:09:01,541
You fat old man.

175
00:09:01,576 --> 00:09:04,857
Let the games begin, small fry.

176
00:09:07,445 --> 00:09:08,674
Well...

177
00:09:08,709 --> 00:09:13,153
certainly his allegations of blackmail lead to duress and unconscionability.

178
00:09:13,188 --> 00:09:16,177
And if Ivan goes to the press...

179
00:09:16,212 --> 00:09:19,410
I don't think he'll go to the press. He has his reputation.

180
00:09:19,445 --> 00:09:22,609
Plus, if there's one thing about Ivan, he doesn't play dirty.

181
00:09:22,644 --> 00:09:24,745
Shirley, Paul.

182
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:27,325
I believe you've met my attorney, Alan Shore.

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,277
How do you do?

184
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:30,792
What's going on?

185
00:09:30,827 --> 00:09:34,123
I told Alan my story. He's agreed to represent me.

186
00:09:34,158 --> 00:09:35,773
That's ridiculous.

187
00:09:35,808 --> 00:09:37,418
I'm a fan of ridiculous.

188
00:09:37,419 --> 00:09:40,885
It's also a non-waivable conflict. We're both attorneys at the same firm.

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,264
Oh, please. You used to be married to Ivan.

190
00:09:43,299 --> 00:09:46,805
Clearly we've already hurdled the conflict of interest bar.

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,229
What the hell are you doing?

192
00:09:48,264 --> 00:09:51,105
Shirley, what you did to my client was unfair.

193
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:53,989
I'm a man of principle or not,

194
00:09:54,024 --> 00:09:56,839
whatever the situation calls for.

195
00:09:56,874 --> 00:09:58,222
Don't be so greedy.

196
00:09:58,257 --> 00:10:00,329
There's enough fun to go around for everybody.

197
00:10:00,364 --> 00:10:02,215
I forbid you to represent this man.

198
00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:03,325
Even better.

199
00:10:03,326 --> 00:10:06,526
Come on, Alan. Let's prepare.

200
00:10:13,409 --> 00:10:15,314
Well, this could get ugly.

201
00:10:15,349 --> 00:10:16,259
You think?

202
00:10:16,294 --> 00:10:18,487
I'll inform the executive committee,

203
00:10:18,522 --> 00:10:23,735
and I believe there's one other person you need to inform.

204
00:10:25,884 --> 00:10:30,519
Missy! Not every marriage was meant to be.

205
00:10:30,554 --> 00:10:32,802
Not every couple...

206
00:10:33,837 --> 00:10:35,745
The lungs on you!

207
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:38,558
I learned to project in "gypsy. "

208
00:10:39,904 --> 00:10:42,806
Missy, I, I just want to assure you that

209
00:10:42,841 --> 00:10:47,011
what happed between Ivan and me was totally unpremeditated,

210
00:10:47,046 --> 00:10:49,571
without malice or intent to hurt you.

211
00:10:49,606 --> 00:10:52,180
I'm sure just one thing led to another.

212
00:10:52,215 --> 00:10:53,174
That's right.

213
00:10:53,209 --> 00:10:54,320
He's very charming.

214
00:10:54,321 --> 00:10:56,064
He can be.

215
00:10:56,099 --> 00:10:57,772
Oh, Shirley...

216
00:10:57,807 --> 00:10:59,276
Tell me what happened.

217
00:10:59,311 --> 00:11:00,284
In your marriage?

218
00:11:00,319 --> 00:11:01,705
In bed with you and Ivan.

219
00:11:01,706 --> 00:11:02,512
What?

220
00:11:02,547 --> 00:11:03,318
Tell me.

221
00:11:03,319 --> 00:11:06,345
If I know what you two did, I'll be able to move past it,

222
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:09,642
but I have to know exactly what I'm moving past.

223
00:11:09,677 --> 00:11:12,397
You have to know exactly?

224
00:11:12,432 --> 00:11:15,118
Couldn't you just know-ish?

225
00:11:15,153 --> 00:11:19,649
You're right. I'll just imagine the details.

226
00:11:20,137 --> 00:11:24,611
The important part is that you did the brave, honorable, honest thing by telling me,

227
00:11:24,646 --> 00:11:27,398
and I still want you to represent me.

228
00:11:27,433 --> 00:11:31,270
So what happens next?

229
00:11:31,305 --> 00:11:33,549
We go to court.

230
00:11:34,288 --> 00:11:36,613
You approached the defendant directly with a plea offer?

231
00:11:36,648 --> 00:11:38,559
I did not go there to elicit any response.

232
00:11:38,594 --> 00:11:39,597
Why did you go then?

233
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,778
Because I have ethical concerns

234
00:11:41,813 --> 00:11:45,559
as to whether he's getting a fair and true representation from this megalomaniac.

235
00:11:45,594 --> 00:11:48,573
I consider myself first and foremost an officer of the court.

236
00:11:48,608 --> 00:11:49,436
You're in contempt.

237
00:11:49,471 --> 00:11:52,410
And if I think a defendant's interests are being undermined

238
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:54,917
by a narcissistic lawyer's need for publicity...

239
00:11:54,952 --> 00:11:57,645
If you ever so much as look at the defendant again outside of counsel,

240
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:01,112
I will declare prosecutorial misconduct and direct a verdict for the defendant.

241
00:12:01,147 --> 00:12:03,082
Your honor, he's gone to all my witnesses.

242
00:12:03,117 --> 00:12:04,983
Mr. Little is the accused, one with counsel,

243
00:12:05,018 --> 00:12:07,906
and Mr. Coho is entitled to talk to the witnesses!

244
00:12:07,941 --> 00:12:11,712
- You want to rein me in?
- You are not helping yourself, sir.

245
00:12:11,747 --> 00:12:14,863
I will not let this trial become about the two of you.

246
00:12:14,898 --> 00:12:18,863
We have a canon of legal ethics which you will both abide by,

247
00:12:18,898 --> 00:12:22,328
or I will remove you both.

248
00:12:22,363 --> 00:12:24,519
Mr. Winant...

249
00:12:24,554 --> 00:12:28,055
I am shocked and appalled.

250
00:12:28,354 --> 00:12:30,442
That is all.

251
00:12:34,993 --> 00:12:38,633
Hey, sorry to turn you in. I just thought he'd want to know.

252
00:12:49,672 --> 00:12:51,149
I don't mean to sound impatient.

253
00:12:51,184 --> 00:12:52,796
I've been waiting for close to two hours.

254
00:12:52,831 --> 00:12:54,077
I just want ten minutes.

255
00:12:54,112 --> 00:12:57,159
As you can see, Mr. Coho, Dr. Simon is extremely busy.

256
00:12:57,194 --> 00:13:00,207
I explained to you he would not be able to see you today.

257
00:13:00,242 --> 00:13:02,648
I believe I explained it to you twice.

258
00:13:02,683 --> 00:13:05,069
It's just, um...

259
00:13:05,104 --> 00:13:11,140
I'm a little upset that Dr. Simon would reveal everything that I told him in a private session.

260
00:13:11,175 --> 00:13:15,563
I would expect that he would not repeat everything I told him in the strictest confidence

261
00:13:15,598 --> 00:13:19,359
and blab to everyone about my phobias and sexual problems

262
00:13:19,394 --> 00:13:21,450
and my most intimate insecurities.

263
00:13:21,485 --> 00:13:23,507
And to print it on his web site.

264
00:13:23,542 --> 00:13:25,295
Hold on one second, please.

265
00:13:25,330 --> 00:13:30,053
If I lose a single patient as a result of that flagrant, outrageous outburst,

266
00:13:30,088 --> 00:13:31,075
I will sue you!

267
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:32,605
Yeah, well, it's gonna have to be a counterclaim,

268
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,227
'cause we're probably gonna sue you first.

269
00:13:34,262 --> 00:13:35,780
I've got a client sitting in a jail cell

270
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,730
because you violated doctor-patient communication.

271
00:13:38,765 --> 00:13:40,398
That's privileged information, pal.

272
00:13:40,433 --> 00:13:42,445
You don't think it was an agonizing thing!

273
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,474
- You think it was legal?
- Yes, it was legal!

274
00:13:44,509 --> 00:13:46,898
If I believe somebody's life is in danger...

275
00:13:46,933 --> 00:13:49,909
Her life was no longer in danger. She was dead.

276
00:13:49,944 --> 00:13:52,885
No, she wasn't, not when I turned the tape over.

277
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,704
When did you turn it over?

278
00:13:54,739 --> 00:13:56,489
The afternoon of her death.

279
00:13:57,237 --> 00:14:00,118
You gave the tape to the police the afternoon of her death?

280
00:14:00,153 --> 00:14:01,651
Well, I...

281
00:14:01,686 --> 00:14:04,354
I didn't give it to the police.

282
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:05,981
I gave it to her husband.

283
00:14:06,016 --> 00:14:06,823
What?

284
00:14:06,858 --> 00:14:08,970
He was here, so I gave it to him.

285
00:14:12,167 --> 00:14:14,706
What do you mean, "he was here"?

286
00:14:15,587 --> 00:14:18,741
Scott Little was referred to me by Marcia Hooper,

287
00:14:18,776 --> 00:14:21,631
who I used to treat.

288
00:14:21,666 --> 00:14:26,196
I currently treat her husband, Brian.

289
00:14:29,607 --> 00:14:30,848
Okay, before we start,

290
00:14:30,883 --> 00:14:34,049
I want it on the record that I am very uncomfortable deposing a dwarf.

291
00:14:34,084 --> 00:14:35,479
What's that supposed to mean?

292
00:14:35,514 --> 00:14:36,839
It means I'm uncomfortable.

293
00:14:36,874 --> 00:14:40,386
I don't need any victims' rights groups picketing outside my condo.

294
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:43,898
Not to mention the fact you obviously have deep psychological issues

295
00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:48,474
to accept any date with a 72-year-old man, let alone him.

296
00:14:48,509 --> 00:14:50,820
Just ask your questions, bitchy-do.

297
00:14:50,855 --> 00:14:53,370
I want that attack on the record.

298
00:14:53,405 --> 00:14:55,851
Is it your testimony, miss Horowitz,

299
00:14:55,886 --> 00:14:58,077
that when two people meet for romantic purposes

300
00:14:58,112 --> 00:15:01,211
they are not entitled to judge one another on physical appearance?

301
00:15:01,246 --> 00:15:02,837
That is not my testimony,

302
00:15:02,872 --> 00:15:07,458
but he is not allowed to call me a midget in a crowded room full of my peers.

303
00:15:07,493 --> 00:15:09,435
Oh, other people heard this?

304
00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:09,841
Yes.

305
00:15:09,842 --> 00:15:11,006
Name six.

306
00:15:11,041 --> 00:15:12,156
I didn't get names.

307
00:15:12,157 --> 00:15:13,438
I was too shaken.

308
00:15:13,473 --> 00:15:14,213
I see.

309
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:18,549
Do you make room for the possibility that Mr. Crane was shaken?

310
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:22,884
Did you ever mention beforehand that you were a little person?

311
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:25,530
I said that I'm petite.

312
00:15:25,565 --> 00:15:26,386
"Petite"?

313
00:15:26,387 --> 00:15:29,411
That's what I am. I'm petite.

314
00:15:29,446 --> 00:15:32,148
You two spoke over the internet for two weeks,

315
00:15:32,183 --> 00:15:34,979
divulging personal, intimate details.

316
00:15:35,014 --> 00:15:38,266
You leave out the fact that you're under 3 feet tall?

317
00:15:38,301 --> 00:15:40,092
Do you think that's honest?

318
00:15:40,127 --> 00:15:43,645
Look at him! Did I get Mel Gibson?

319
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:46,135
Maybe I did.

320
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,942
Why didn't you tell him you were a dwarf?

321
00:15:48,977 --> 00:15:50,765
Because it shouldn't matter.

322
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,849
- It shouldn't matter?
- No, it shouldn't matter.

323
00:15:56,609 --> 00:15:58,853
I can see you're hurt.

324
00:15:58,888 --> 00:16:00,482
Could you be especially hurt

325
00:16:00,517 --> 00:16:03,294
because this is the first time you felt you hooked up with someone

326
00:16:03,329 --> 00:16:06,145
where you being a dwarf didn't matter?

327
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:08,866
Who are you, Dr. Phil?

328
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:11,658
During the course of your internet relationship,

329
00:16:11,693 --> 00:16:14,416
did you happen to fall for my client a little?

330
00:16:14,451 --> 00:16:15,446
Oh, please.

331
00:16:15,481 --> 00:16:17,205
Then what's the harm?

332
00:16:17,206 --> 00:16:19,220
You seem pretty thick-skinned.

333
00:16:19,255 --> 00:16:21,513
I'm sure you've faced your share of ridicule.

334
00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:26,127
Were you really damaged by a callous remark from a buffoon?

335
00:16:26,162 --> 00:16:30,814
Who are you to say what does or doesn't humiliate me?

336
00:16:30,849 --> 00:16:34,509
You had high hopes for a relationship with this man, didn't you?

337
00:16:34,544 --> 00:16:38,431
You daydreamed about going up against him in law school.

338
00:16:38,466 --> 00:16:43,073
You were in awe of him, and he rejected you.

339
00:17:00,890 --> 00:17:05,873
My client signed this post-nup under both emotional and carnal duress.

340
00:17:05,908 --> 00:17:07,971
The terms are onerous, unconscionable...

341
00:17:08,006 --> 00:17:10,514
We negotiated in good faith, your honor. There was nothing onerous about it.

342
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:13,333
Why would anyone voluntarily sign away

343
00:17:13,368 --> 00:17:15,832
all of his possessions for virtually no consideration?

344
00:17:15,867 --> 00:17:18,586
He was under a spell, a sort of orgasmic stupor.

345
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:20,186
The consideration was sex with Missy.

346
00:17:20,221 --> 00:17:22,811
Oh, please, he was still getting it on with you!

347
00:17:22,846 --> 00:17:25,416
- Objection!
- Which brings us right back to unconscionable.

348
00:17:25,451 --> 00:17:26,854
Mr. Shore, that's enough.

349
00:17:26,889 --> 00:17:27,837
Really?

350
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:29,433
Then I'd like to call a witness.

351
00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:30,855
- What witness?
- You.

352
00:17:30,890 --> 00:17:31,847
- Me?
- You.

353
00:17:31,882 --> 00:17:34,081
- He can't call opposing counsel.
- Of course I can.

354
00:17:34,116 --> 00:17:37,234
Ms. Schmidt is a material witness. In fact she's the material witness.

355
00:17:37,269 --> 00:17:40,744
She's perfectly happy to bellow her position in open court.

356
00:17:40,779 --> 00:17:44,277
I merely ask that she do so under oath.

357
00:17:46,718 --> 00:17:48,071
I'll allow it.

358
00:17:48,106 --> 00:17:51,151
Ms. Schmidt will take the stand this afternoon.

359
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:54,464
Is your resume intact?

360
00:17:54,499 --> 00:17:57,119
Shirley, you're being retaliatory.

361
00:17:57,154 --> 00:17:59,743
It becomes you.

362
00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:03,236
The shrink was treating the victim and her husband?

363
00:18:03,271 --> 00:18:05,227
He saw that tape. He didn't tell his wife.

364
00:18:05,262 --> 00:18:07,728
- How can you be sure of that?
- She made love to Scott that night.

365
00:18:07,763 --> 00:18:10,109
Would she have done that if she knew that he harbored thoughts of killing her?

366
00:18:10,144 --> 00:18:11,610
Would she not have said something like,

367
00:18:11,645 --> 00:18:13,703
"hey, what's up with wanting me dead?"

368
00:18:13,738 --> 00:18:15,762
The husband saw the tape. He sat on it.

369
00:18:15,797 --> 00:18:17,523
He didn't tell her.

370
00:18:18,082 --> 00:18:19,215
What are you thinking?

371
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:21,546
I'm thinking how perfect if he wanted to kill her.

372
00:18:21,581 --> 00:18:25,158
The angry, bald little husband, he waits for Scott to come over,

373
00:18:25,193 --> 00:18:28,376
waits for them to make love, perfect, he comes home,

374
00:18:28,411 --> 00:18:31,539
whacks her once on the head, dials 911,

375
00:18:31,574 --> 00:18:33,185
hands over the tape.

376
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:36,993
The angry, bald little husband killed his wife,

377
00:18:37,028 --> 00:18:39,367
just like in the movies.

378
00:18:47,509 --> 00:18:49,893
It's very good news.

379
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:51,095
Do the police know about this?

380
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,108
They must.

381
00:18:52,109 --> 00:18:55,147
The minute he gave them the tape, they had to ask when he got it.

382
00:18:55,182 --> 00:18:58,537
Whether they know that Dr. Simon treated him and her,

383
00:18:58,572 --> 00:19:01,858
I don't know, but the truth is, Scott, it doesn't matter.

384
00:19:01,893 --> 00:19:05,433
Because you are the only one they have a shot at getting for this murder.

385
00:19:05,468 --> 00:19:06,489
You're the target.

386
00:19:06,524 --> 00:19:10,022
In the end, that tape speaks for itself.

387
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:12,604
What's this?

388
00:19:12,639 --> 00:19:14,323
We need you to authorize our access

389
00:19:14,358 --> 00:19:18,155
to Dr. Simon's notes and records concerning your treatment.

390
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:19,018
Why?

391
00:19:19,053 --> 00:19:21,375
Well, we have to be able to put that footage into context.

392
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,008
There may things that you said that I can use.

393
00:19:24,043 --> 00:19:27,580
I can't know that until I review it all.

394
00:19:33,042 --> 00:19:36,772
I don't think I want you to see or read everything I said to my shrink.

395
00:19:36,807 --> 00:19:39,107
Scott, it would be for our eyes only.

396
00:19:39,142 --> 00:19:41,003
There's nothing I said that's really relevant.

397
00:19:41,038 --> 00:19:43,913
You've got to let us decide that, Scott.

398
00:19:46,973 --> 00:19:48,924
No.

399
00:19:48,959 --> 00:19:50,905
That stuff is privileged.

400
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:54,853
Scott, I'm the one vested with saving your life.

401
00:19:54,888 --> 00:19:58,030
That's not shaping up to be an easy job right now.

402
00:19:58,065 --> 00:20:01,172
I don't want you looking at my therapist's records.

403
00:20:01,207 --> 00:20:03,171
- Scott...
- I said no!

404
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:10,039
What do you mean, she won't drop it?

405
00:20:10,074 --> 00:20:11,172
She's hurt.

406
00:20:11,207 --> 00:20:13,682
My advice is if you really want this to go away,

407
00:20:13,717 --> 00:20:16,470
you have to apologize, and this time make it heartfelt.

408
00:20:16,505 --> 00:20:17,908
- Do you do that?
- Never.

409
00:20:17,943 --> 00:20:20,013
I really appreciate your coming.

410
00:20:20,048 --> 00:20:22,510
I'd like a small sandwich and some coffee.

411
00:20:22,545 --> 00:20:24,161
Not a problem.

412
00:20:24,196 --> 00:20:26,197
You want to talk to me about the boy, don't you?

413
00:20:26,232 --> 00:20:28,792
Well, yes, but first I'd like to talk to you about that night.

414
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:29,992
The night she died?

415
00:20:30,027 --> 00:20:31,137
Yes.

416
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:34,198
He was there that night, the boy.

417
00:20:35,028 --> 00:20:37,314
And did you see them make love?

418
00:20:37,349 --> 00:20:40,395
No, but he used the clicker.

419
00:20:40,677 --> 00:20:41,558
"The clicker"?

420
00:20:41,593 --> 00:20:44,372
The remote that opens the garage door.

421
00:20:44,407 --> 00:20:47,116
She gave all her special lovers clickers.

422
00:20:47,151 --> 00:20:50,836
That way they could go undetected by suspecting neighbors,

423
00:20:50,871 --> 00:20:52,959
but I always knew.

424
00:20:52,994 --> 00:20:56,436
Did you see anybody besides Scott Little go there that night?

425
00:20:56,471 --> 00:20:58,381
No. He left at 9,

426
00:20:58,416 --> 00:21:01,215
and the husband got home sometime between 10 and 11.

427
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:02,731
Between 10 and 11? You're sure?

428
00:21:02,766 --> 00:21:03,344
Oh, yes.

429
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:05,058
I was out with my little dog.

430
00:21:05,093 --> 00:21:08,427
I walk my little dog always between 10 and 11,

431
00:21:08,462 --> 00:21:10,463
and that's when I saw the husband go in.

432
00:21:10,498 --> 00:21:12,429
- You sure it was the husband?
- I am.

433
00:21:12,464 --> 00:21:15,915
He drives some sort of little white convertible in an attempt, I suppose,

434
00:21:15,950 --> 00:21:19,322
to seem interesting, which he's not, not at all.

435
00:21:19,357 --> 00:21:21,690
He's a nasty little man.

436
00:21:21,725 --> 00:21:24,010
He made her get that restraining order against me.

437
00:21:24,045 --> 00:21:25,812
He made her do it.

438
00:21:25,847 --> 00:21:27,983
Well, you are a peeping Tom.

439
00:21:28,018 --> 00:21:29,584
Oh, she liked that.

440
00:21:29,619 --> 00:21:33,798
She liked that I looked. I was a benign peepy.

441
00:21:33,833 --> 00:21:37,464
The other men who had the clickers, do you think you might recognize them?

442
00:21:37,499 --> 00:21:39,058
I might.

443
00:21:39,093 --> 00:21:42,224
But he was her favorite, the boy.

444
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:46,596
Oh, she liked that boy.

445
00:21:49,889 --> 00:21:51,401
Uh, Ms. Schmidt,

446
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:57,042
you and my client Ivan Tiggs made love on the night of may 13th, did you not?

447
00:21:57,077 --> 00:21:59,891
Right out of the gate!

448
00:21:59,926 --> 00:22:00,984
Yes, we did.

449
00:22:01,019 --> 00:22:02,969
- Did he satisfy you completely?
- Objection.

450
00:22:03,004 --> 00:22:04,363
Tell us everything. Leave nothing out.

451
00:22:04,398 --> 00:22:06,745
- Objection!
- What? Oh, yes.

452
00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:09,058
Uh, it goes to unconscionability.

453
00:22:09,093 --> 00:22:12,254
If Mr. Tiggs pleased her to such an extent...

454
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:14,153
Mr. Shore.

455
00:22:14,188 --> 00:22:18,217
Mr. Tiggs did satisfy you, didn't he?

456
00:22:19,901 --> 00:22:22,943
I'm under oath. It wasn't his best work.

457
00:22:22,978 --> 00:22:25,950
Mr. Shore, what, pray tell, is your point?

458
00:22:25,985 --> 00:22:32,726
My point is, the parties were entwined in a volatile and still very emotional,

459
00:22:32,761 --> 00:22:36,230
moist physical relationship even after he remarried,

460
00:22:36,265 --> 00:22:38,811
but you two did get back together, didn't you?

461
00:22:38,846 --> 00:22:41,323
Only because he told me he'd left his wife.

462
00:22:41,358 --> 00:22:45,575
And how did it make you feel when you discovered Ivan was still married?

463
00:22:45,610 --> 00:22:48,421
Did the fact that he was unfaithful hurt me? Yes, it did.

464
00:22:48,456 --> 00:22:51,278
Did it surprise me? No, it did not.

465
00:22:51,313 --> 00:22:54,100
After all, he's a womanizing slimeball.

466
00:22:54,135 --> 00:22:58,269
And consumed with anger, perhaps vengeance, a soupcon de passion,

467
00:22:58,304 --> 00:23:00,290
you then solicited his wife.

468
00:23:00,325 --> 00:23:01,639
Is that what you think?

469
00:23:01,674 --> 00:23:02,953
It's what we both know.

470
00:23:02,954 --> 00:23:04,670
I volunteered to represent her because...

471
00:23:04,705 --> 00:23:07,664
And whose idea was the post-nuptial agreement?

472
00:23:07,699 --> 00:23:08,559
Mine.

473
00:23:08,594 --> 00:23:13,531
Post-nups are meant to provide support after a divorce, not prevent one.

474
00:23:13,566 --> 00:23:15,862
- Who is the lawyer here?
- Certainly not you.

475
00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:18,899
You specifically prepared it to prevent me from doing

476
00:23:18,934 --> 00:23:20,205
what I had done with you.

477
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,713
I simply wanted to present you with options.

478
00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,460
Options? There were no options. This was blackmail!

479
00:23:25,461 --> 00:23:28,006
Your honor, he is a party, not the lawyer.

480
00:23:28,041 --> 00:23:30,517
Of my net worth, you also attached my boat,

481
00:23:30,552 --> 00:23:31,852
everything I hold dear.

482
00:23:31,887 --> 00:23:32,534
You need to reassess your priorities.

483
00:23:32,535 --> 00:23:35,336
Are you going to tell us under oath that this agreement,

484
00:23:35,371 --> 00:23:37,413
which virtually makes me penniless,

485
00:23:37,448 --> 00:23:40,517
has nothing whatsoever to do with your personal feelings for me?

486
00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:42,372
- Isn't it exciting?
- Objection!

487
00:23:42,407 --> 00:23:47,207
My relations with you had absolutely no impact on how I represented my client.

488
00:23:47,242 --> 00:23:50,858
My job as attorney is to vigorously represent my clients.

489
00:23:50,893 --> 00:23:53,767
In this case, my client was Mrs. Missy Tiggs.

490
00:23:53,802 --> 00:23:57,165
And as her counsel, I drafted a post-nuptial agreement,

491
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,186
which both protected her interests on a personal and a material level.

492
00:24:01,221 --> 00:24:04,799
You, on the other hand, represented yourself.

493
00:24:04,834 --> 00:24:08,714
You, as both counsel and a client, had full control of this.

494
00:24:08,749 --> 00:24:12,594
You reviewed all of the terms. You ran it past yourself,

495
00:24:12,629 --> 00:24:14,421
and then you voluntarily signed it.

496
00:24:14,456 --> 00:24:16,741
- Now wait a minute!
- She is magnificent.

497
00:24:16,776 --> 00:24:18,991
You cheated on your wife. You deceived me,

498
00:24:19,026 --> 00:24:22,558
and now you want this court to invalidate a perfectly legal agreement

499
00:24:22,593 --> 00:24:26,090
because you couldn't keep the vows you made when you were married.

500
00:24:26,125 --> 00:24:27,524
Your honor, she's lecturing me.

501
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,612
Duress, unconscionability, give me a break.

502
00:24:29,647 --> 00:24:32,776
You're just bored, and you don't want to lose your stuff.

503
00:24:33,550 --> 00:24:35,798
Enough.

504
00:24:43,664 --> 00:24:46,993
First of all, I want to thank you for coming back in.

505
00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:50,323
And secondly, I want to apologize in a heartfelt way,

506
00:24:50,358 --> 00:24:51,399
I was wrong.

507
00:24:51,434 --> 00:24:54,000
That's very big of you to admit.

508
00:24:54,035 --> 00:24:56,566
What is it you want? Money, is it?

509
00:24:56,601 --> 00:24:58,676
You want to make this right?

510
00:24:58,711 --> 00:25:01,834
- I'll settle for your law firm.
- Oh, gee, is that all?

511
00:25:01,869 --> 00:25:04,643
I want to borrow it and you for a meeting.

512
00:25:04,678 --> 00:25:07,342
I'm trying to settle a case, and I'm having a hard time

513
00:25:07,377 --> 00:25:10,006
moving the defendant off his disgusting lowball offer.

514
00:25:10,041 --> 00:25:12,250
if I had Crane, Poole & Schmidt behind me,

515
00:25:12,285 --> 00:25:14,962
I think they might budge.

516
00:25:17,071 --> 00:25:19,539
A meeting?

517
00:25:19,861 --> 00:25:21,114
Would I have to talk?

518
00:25:21,149 --> 00:25:24,630
You're much more impressive when you don't.

519
00:25:24,855 --> 00:25:26,175
One meeting?

520
00:25:26,210 --> 00:25:30,550
In these offices, I'll call it even.

521
00:25:30,585 --> 00:25:33,513
Not quite. One condition.

522
00:25:33,548 --> 00:25:35,000
Take off your clothes.

523
00:25:35,035 --> 00:25:35,694
What?

524
00:25:35,695 --> 00:25:38,959
Oh, come on. That was the initial plan.

525
00:25:38,994 --> 00:25:42,223
We hit it off, eventually we get together,

526
00:25:42,258 --> 00:25:43,905
naked.

527
00:25:43,940 --> 00:25:47,351
Take off your clothes. Let me see that little package.

528
00:25:47,386 --> 00:25:54,541
You are the most disgusting, vulgar human being I have ever met.

529
00:25:54,851 --> 00:25:56,522
You're right.

530
00:25:56,557 --> 00:25:58,519
Just the top then?

531
00:26:05,772 --> 00:26:08,325
I promised myself that I wouldn't lose my composure,

532
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,624
and that's exactly what I did.

533
00:26:10,659 --> 00:26:14,488
Shirley, how many promises have you kept with yourself

534
00:26:14,523 --> 00:26:17,817
when it comes to Ivan Tiggs?

535
00:26:18,461 --> 00:26:20,414
Look.

536
00:26:20,626 --> 00:26:23,601
<i>No evidence of anybody else there, not a fiber, a print.</i>

537
00:26:23,636 --> 00:26:26,750
<i>Come on, Mary! Who else could have done this but Scott Little?</i>

538
00:26:26,785 --> 00:26:28,855
<i>Hello! How about the husband?</i>

539
00:26:28,890 --> 00:26:31,848
<i>Spousicide is the most common...</i>

540
00:26:32,585 --> 00:26:34,660
Well, they're playing that for all it's worth.

541
00:26:34,695 --> 00:26:37,472
Well, of course they are. Ratings for the war are slipping.

542
00:26:37,507 --> 00:26:40,685
Shirley, we have to settle this with Ivan Tiggs.

543
00:26:41,743 --> 00:26:45,184
Let's just see how Missy's testimony goes.

544
00:26:45,625 --> 00:26:47,989
When a person is told she needs heart surgery,

545
00:26:48,024 --> 00:26:50,842
she does not expect to be shipped to India to have it.

546
00:26:50,877 --> 00:26:52,779
You say it like she was forced.

547
00:26:52,814 --> 00:26:54,776
Your client's wife was provided with an option...

548
00:26:54,811 --> 00:26:55,832
Option?

549
00:26:55,867 --> 00:26:59,457
Pay $18,000 here or go to India and have it for free?

550
00:26:59,492 --> 00:27:03,067
Does that sound like a real option for a low-income person, Mr. Jovanka?

551
00:27:03,102 --> 00:27:05,867
Look, your client wouldn't have even had health insurance

552
00:27:05,902 --> 00:27:08,751
- if we couldn't make it affordable...
- She died, Mr. Jovanka.

553
00:27:08,786 --> 00:27:11,228
Am I expected to get on a plane now and go sue Indians?

554
00:27:11,263 --> 00:27:14,608
The death had nothing to do with malpractice or the quality of care provided.

555
00:27:14,643 --> 00:27:18,174
What about the therapeutic value of having family around during surgery?

556
00:27:18,209 --> 00:27:20,124
- Look...
- You keep saying "look".

557
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:24,201
Heart surgery in the United States costs $90,000 all in.

558
00:27:24,236 --> 00:27:26,356
In India, it costs $10,000.

559
00:27:26,391 --> 00:27:28,801
With the crisis of health care coverage in this country,

560
00:27:28,836 --> 00:27:32,840
what responsible HMO wouldn't incentivize its patients to go abroad?

561
00:27:32,875 --> 00:27:36,146
This woman did not die because of substandard care!

562
00:27:36,877 --> 00:27:39,907
And if you think you're gonna scare us into settling

563
00:27:39,942 --> 00:27:42,937
by sticking this prop at the table a week before trial,

564
00:27:42,972 --> 00:27:46,414
you're as mistaken as you are transparent.

565
00:27:46,449 --> 00:27:48,097
What did you call me?

566
00:27:48,132 --> 00:27:49,710
I mean no disrespect.

567
00:27:49,745 --> 00:27:52,745
Get out of my office before I throw you out the window.

568
00:27:52,780 --> 00:27:54,214
Fine!

569
00:27:54,441 --> 00:27:56,754
I'll see you at trial.

570
00:27:59,288 --> 00:28:00,567
Great.

571
00:28:02,989 --> 00:28:04,777
Well, I hope that helped.

572
00:28:06,792 --> 00:28:08,882
See you in court.

573
00:28:14,532 --> 00:28:17,302
When we back somebody, we back them all the way.

574
00:28:17,337 --> 00:28:18,262
Really?

575
00:28:18,297 --> 00:28:22,568
You have the full resources of Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

576
00:28:34,810 --> 00:28:37,277
I held up my end of the bargain.

577
00:28:37,312 --> 00:28:39,258
I was a good wife.

578
00:28:39,293 --> 00:28:41,592
I came from a modest background,

579
00:28:41,627 --> 00:28:45,397
and this man came in and swept me off my feet.

580
00:28:45,432 --> 00:28:48,903
I entered his world, and I became accustomed to his lifestyle,

581
00:28:48,938 --> 00:28:50,067
adjusted.

582
00:28:50,102 --> 00:28:51,791
Uh, we were only married nine months.

583
00:28:51,826 --> 00:28:53,232
I'm a fast adjuster!

584
00:28:53,267 --> 00:28:55,508
So what is your life like now?

585
00:28:55,509 --> 00:28:58,522
I'm comfortable, but my Sally's having puppies.

586
00:28:58,557 --> 00:29:01,472
I have so much more responsibility now.

587
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:03,266
I'm going to be a single mother.

588
00:29:03,301 --> 00:29:05,704
Is she having the puppies?

589
00:29:05,739 --> 00:29:07,129
They're show dogs.

590
00:29:07,164 --> 00:29:10,342
How am I supposed to raise show dogs by myself?

591
00:29:10,377 --> 00:29:13,243
And how do you feel now that your husband has ended the marriage?

592
00:29:13,278 --> 00:29:15,265
Objection! This is ludicrous, your honor.

593
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:18,954
I'm not going to throw her out to become a loveable street urchin.

594
00:29:18,989 --> 00:29:21,666
I'll make a good settlemen, I'll pay her alimony

595
00:29:21,701 --> 00:29:23,644
and do all the good things I always do.

596
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:25,688
However, that is not the agreement you signed.

597
00:29:25,723 --> 00:29:28,550
An agreement you conceived of and coerced him to sign.

598
00:29:28,585 --> 00:29:32,376
Oh, please. You have never been coerced into anything in your entire life.

599
00:29:32,411 --> 00:29:34,319
You don't know everything about me.

600
00:29:34,354 --> 00:29:36,614
Yes, I do.

601
00:29:37,107 --> 00:29:38,961
In my chambers.

602
00:29:39,113 --> 00:29:41,302
Just Ms. Schmidt and Mr. Tiggs.

603
00:29:41,337 --> 00:29:43,388
Couldn't I come and just watch?

604
00:29:43,527 --> 00:29:45,256
No.

605
00:29:47,535 --> 00:29:50,277
I have had it with you two.

606
00:29:50,312 --> 00:29:53,765
If I wanted to see a couple bickering, I could just go home.

607
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,531
We are not a couple.

608
00:29:55,566 --> 00:29:56,439
Right.

609
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,635
You're playing out your personal problems in my courtroom.

610
00:29:59,899 --> 00:30:03,297
I could hold you in contempt and recommend you be sanctioned by the bar.

611
00:30:03,332 --> 00:30:06,652
Your honor, Mr. Tiggs has a history of ruining women's lives.

612
00:30:06,687 --> 00:30:08,092
There's one out there right now.

613
00:30:08,127 --> 00:30:10,223
It's going to take her years to get over this.

614
00:30:10,258 --> 00:30:12,320
Oh, she'll get over me. She's like a goldfish.

615
00:30:12,355 --> 00:30:14,395
She has a 3-second memory.

616
00:30:14,430 --> 00:30:19,048
You, on the other hand, can hold onto things for years.

617
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:20,930
What are you implying?

618
00:30:20,965 --> 00:30:22,929
You didn't make that post-nup

619
00:30:22,964 --> 00:30:26,141
to, to punish me or to keep me faithful to Missy.

620
00:30:26,176 --> 00:30:31,577
You did it to keep me away from you, because you know...

621
00:30:31,612 --> 00:30:34,418
that you can't trust yourself with me.

622
00:30:34,453 --> 00:30:38,526
It is always about how much people want you, isn't it, Ivan?

623
00:30:38,561 --> 00:30:41,970
No. Just about how much you want me.

624
00:30:44,017 --> 00:30:47,741
Admit it, Shirley. You're still in love with me.

625
00:30:49,383 --> 00:30:52,445
You, you're a very disturbed man.

626
00:30:56,282 --> 00:30:58,595
You know how I feel about you, Shirley.

627
00:30:58,630 --> 00:31:03,297
I tell you what, I'll withdraw the motion and relinquish everything.

628
00:31:03,332 --> 00:31:07,908
My homes, my country club membership, my Cuban cigars...

629
00:31:07,943 --> 00:31:12,484
Missy can have it all if you agree to stop fighting yourself

630
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,239
and give me one more chance.

631
00:31:15,274 --> 00:31:17,959
I've given you too many chances.

632
00:31:23,701 --> 00:31:25,022
All right.

633
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,650
I'll relinquish everything if you go to dinner with me.

634
00:31:31,155 --> 00:31:33,379
I'll take you to Melville's.

635
00:31:33,991 --> 00:31:35,848
Though you may have to pay.

636
00:31:37,207 --> 00:31:38,854
Have the rib eye.

637
00:31:47,210 --> 00:31:49,750
Jeffrey, a little problema.

638
00:31:51,122 --> 00:31:52,398
Hi.

639
00:31:52,433 --> 00:31:55,315
Scott Little's father is on the prosecution's witness list.

640
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:58,098
- What do you mean?
- I mean they're calling our client's father.

641
00:31:58,133 --> 00:31:59,346
Did you not know this?

642
00:31:59,381 --> 00:32:00,377
Our client?

643
00:32:00,378 --> 00:32:01,574
Is she on this case?

644
00:32:01,609 --> 00:32:03,137
What could he possibly say?

645
00:32:03,138 --> 00:32:05,606
He's on his way in. We could go ask him.

646
00:32:07,419 --> 00:32:08,842
We?

647
00:32:09,001 --> 00:32:10,988
Is she on the case?

648
00:32:11,023 --> 00:32:12,685
I don't have to tell you anything.

649
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,095
Mr. Schiller, Scott Little is your son.

650
00:32:16,306 --> 00:32:17,861
Why isn't his name "Schiller"?

651
00:32:17,896 --> 00:32:20,539
She changed it legally to her maiden name

652
00:32:20,574 --> 00:32:23,929
because she's as spiteful as she is grotesque.

653
00:32:23,964 --> 00:32:25,815
Tell us what you plan to say, Michael.

654
00:32:25,850 --> 00:32:28,946
I'm not your little dog. I don't have to obey your commands!

655
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:31,527
You didn't tell me this hideous witch would be here!

656
00:32:31,562 --> 00:32:34,618
This is a pathetic attempt to be relevant in your son's life,

657
00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:36,511
testifying against him!

658
00:32:36,546 --> 00:32:38,335
You denied my relevance.

659
00:32:38,370 --> 00:32:40,011
You wouldn't even let me see him!

660
00:32:40,046 --> 00:32:41,618
I was afraid he'd grow up to be you.

661
00:32:41,653 --> 00:32:44,937
You know, I can't stay here. Seeing her breathe and speak,

662
00:32:44,972 --> 00:32:47,068
it makes it too difficult to pretend she's dead.

663
00:32:47,103 --> 00:32:49,552
I pretended to be dead during sex.

664
00:32:49,587 --> 00:32:51,363
You seemed to prefer it.

665
00:32:51,398 --> 00:32:53,104
Because you as a corpse,

666
00:32:53,139 --> 00:32:55,114
that's something to get excited about.

667
00:32:55,149 --> 00:32:56,172
Okay!

668
00:32:56,207 --> 00:32:58,647
I'm sure it's lovely catching up like this, but,

669
00:32:58,682 --> 00:33:00,709
Mr. Schiller, this is your son.

670
00:33:00,744 --> 00:33:02,701
We only have her word on that.

671
00:33:02,736 --> 00:33:04,669
How could you give testimony against him?

672
00:33:04,704 --> 00:33:06,729
I'm not, at least not on the murder.

673
00:33:06,764 --> 00:33:08,719
Then why is the prosecutor calling you?

674
00:33:08,754 --> 00:33:10,474
He told me I didn't have to talk to you people.

675
00:33:10,509 --> 00:33:12,871
Did he advise you not to talk to us?

676
00:33:12,906 --> 00:33:13,851
I'm leaving.

677
00:33:13,886 --> 00:33:16,811
You think this makes you a man, Michael?

678
00:33:16,930 --> 00:33:19,865
You've never been a man.

679
00:33:28,311 --> 00:33:29,594
Okay.

680
00:33:29,629 --> 00:33:31,467
Well, this is exciting.

681
00:33:35,171 --> 00:33:37,633
Bethany, Brad will be your point man here.

682
00:33:37,668 --> 00:33:39,316
If you need anything, go to him.

683
00:33:39,351 --> 00:33:41,911
If you're not satisfied...

684
00:33:42,229 --> 00:33:43,804
you come to me.

685
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:45,515
Thank you.

686
00:33:46,514 --> 00:33:48,591
I'll arrange to have your files sent over,

687
00:33:48,626 --> 00:33:50,007
set up a command center.

688
00:33:50,042 --> 00:33:51,030
Okay.

689
00:33:52,690 --> 00:33:54,863
I want to thank you for doing this.

690
00:33:54,898 --> 00:33:57,333
I could never take on a big HMO myself,

691
00:33:57,368 --> 00:33:59,734
which is why they've offered me nothing.

692
00:33:59,769 --> 00:34:04,860
Bethany, I want to apologize for objectifying you.

693
00:34:09,259 --> 00:34:11,074
The truth is,

694
00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:13,456
I do it to most women.

695
00:34:14,115 --> 00:34:15,990
As...

696
00:34:18,257 --> 00:34:21,296
as I was looking at you in that room,

697
00:34:21,331 --> 00:34:25,204
going head-to-head with that opposing counsel,

698
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,675
I thought to myself, I'll bet there goes a little sexual dynamo.

699
00:34:32,289 --> 00:34:34,904
Would you like to try lunch again?

700
00:34:37,222 --> 00:34:40,512
Let's just get through the trial, Denny.

701
00:34:48,593 --> 00:34:52,617
We're, we're going out to dinner, so hopefully we can work it all out.

702
00:34:52,652 --> 00:34:56,281
Excellent. Congratulations, Shirley.

703
00:34:56,701 --> 00:34:58,378
Alan, why?

704
00:34:58,413 --> 00:35:01,438
I deserve an explanation.

705
00:35:01,473 --> 00:35:03,319
Yes.

706
00:35:03,909 --> 00:35:08,980
First of all, the post-nup was irrationally lopsided.

707
00:35:09,015 --> 00:35:11,008
It would be a shame to see Ivan destitute,

708
00:35:11,043 --> 00:35:15,760
but even more shameful to see Missy at the helm of a cigarette boat.

709
00:35:15,795 --> 00:35:17,213
And second of all?

710
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:19,705
Well...

711
00:35:21,574 --> 00:35:23,502
that's private.

712
00:35:24,573 --> 00:35:30,006
But something I'll continue to dwell on as I gaze at that lovely photo of you

713
00:35:30,041 --> 00:35:32,142
that hangs on the wall of my powder room.

714
00:35:32,177 --> 00:35:33,493
Careful, Alan.

715
00:35:33,528 --> 00:35:37,835
Oh, Shirley, I assure you, I always take the greatest of care.

716
00:35:38,682 --> 00:35:43,556
But the thing about the photo is as a young woman,

717
00:35:43,591 --> 00:35:51,075
you were divine and in maturity, sublime.

718
00:35:54,387 --> 00:35:56,044
Well, I...

719
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:59,416
I guess I'm happy to have made you happy.

720
00:35:59,451 --> 00:36:01,362
Shirley, the truth is,

721
00:36:01,397 --> 00:36:05,097
I only took this case to be in court with you.

722
00:36:05,132 --> 00:36:06,477
I enjoy your company.

723
00:36:06,512 --> 00:36:12,032
So if I can't join you on cases, I'll just have to oppose you.

724
00:36:12,067 --> 00:36:15,732
Or I could just oppose you right now against the wall.

725
00:36:15,767 --> 00:36:18,476
That would certainly make me happy.

726
00:36:30,205 --> 00:36:33,655
I was almost there.

727
00:36:59,491 --> 00:37:02,692
Was this law suit about sexual antagonism?

728
00:37:06,293 --> 00:37:08,346
Shirley...

729
00:37:08,797 --> 00:37:13,596
if I thought I could sexually profit from this,

730
00:37:13,631 --> 00:37:17,161
I would have dragged this thing through family court for years and years.

731
00:37:17,196 --> 00:37:24,842
This is just about having a fine rib eye with lovely company.

732
00:37:24,877 --> 00:37:26,931
Shall we leave it at that?

733
00:37:28,356 --> 00:37:30,388
You can't have me back.

734
00:37:38,491 --> 00:37:41,098
Ah, well...

735
00:37:41,133 --> 00:37:45,250
we've both seen this movie, Shirley. We both know how it ends.

736
00:37:45,583 --> 00:37:49,529
You and I living happily ever after.

737
00:37:49,564 --> 00:37:51,985
At least for a few weeks.

738
00:38:18,098 --> 00:38:21,493
I can't love you anymore.

739
00:38:45,862 --> 00:38:48,121
So...

740
00:38:48,156 --> 00:38:54,299
you and Ivan were in it for the same thing.

741
00:38:54,334 --> 00:38:56,120
Shirley.

742
00:38:56,155 --> 00:39:01,297
Joanna made me realize it as she was fitting me for a dress shirt.

743
00:39:01,332 --> 00:39:03,699
Denny, somehow I've grown rather fond of Shirley.

744
00:39:03,734 --> 00:39:05,805
Well, you can't have her.

745
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,832
Besides, a man doesn't eat where his friend...

746
00:39:08,867 --> 00:39:09,984
- Schmidts.
- Exactly.

747
00:39:10,019 --> 00:39:12,455
I marked that turf a long time ago.

748
00:39:14,154 --> 00:39:18,850
Let's talk about you suddenly co-counseling with the woman who sued you.

749
00:39:18,885 --> 00:39:20,906
She's a little powder keg.

750
00:39:21,889 --> 00:39:23,957
You were once involved with a...

751
00:39:23,992 --> 00:39:25,369
a little person, weren't you?

752
00:39:25,404 --> 00:39:26,028
I was.

753
00:39:26,029 --> 00:39:27,539
How was she?

754
00:39:27,574 --> 00:39:30,213
As a person in bed?

755
00:39:30,248 --> 00:39:31,963
Indefatigable.

756
00:39:33,564 --> 00:39:37,483
Her nickname is "the badger".

757
00:39:38,396 --> 00:39:41,488
I wonder if she's a badger in the sack.

758
00:39:41,523 --> 00:39:43,311
Could be painful.

759
00:39:43,346 --> 00:39:46,083
Do you think she'd mind you talking about her this way?

760
00:39:46,118 --> 00:39:47,901
No idea. Why?

761
00:39:47,936 --> 00:39:50,491
Well, perhaps you should look down, Denny.

762
00:39:50,526 --> 00:39:52,042
- Do not tell me...
- Oh, yes.

763
00:39:52,077 --> 00:39:54,412
- Oh, no.
- Yes.

764
00:39:56,555 --> 00:40:00,922
Having a greater appreciation for who and what you are,

765
00:40:00,957 --> 00:40:02,563
I'm not offended.

766
00:40:02,598 --> 00:40:05,074
- You snuck up on me.
- No.

767
00:40:05,109 --> 00:40:07,914
I came to tell you that the court assigned a trial date.

768
00:40:07,949 --> 00:40:11,031
Opening arguments are Monday.

769
00:40:15,566 --> 00:40:17,839
She's got a cute little ass, don't you think?

770
00:40:17,874 --> 00:40:19,302
She certainly does.

771
00:40:19,337 --> 00:40:22,699
Here's to all shapes and sizes, my friend.

772
00:40:22,734 --> 00:40:26,268
And to new and exciting adventures.

773
00:40:26,658 --> 00:40:29,374
Except for Shirley.
