1
00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:01,900
Previously on 'Boston legal'

2
00:00:01,935 --> 00:00:05,084
Claire Simms, this is Clarice Bell, our client.

3
00:00:05,119 --> 00:00:08,748
Are you kidding me? It's a big black man in a frock.

4
00:00:08,783 --> 00:00:12,377
This is Dolce & Gabbana, you pissy little bitch.

5
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:14,458
I'm Alan Shore, Clarice's lawyer.

6
00:00:14,493 --> 00:00:15,792
Yeah, uh...

7
00:00:15,827 --> 00:00:17,904
Clarice went to the market.

8
00:00:17,939 --> 00:00:19,329
And you would be?..

9
00:00:19,364 --> 00:00:20,214
Clarence.

10
00:00:20,249 --> 00:00:21,868
You gonna hit me, Brad?

11
00:00:23,861 --> 00:00:28,661
One of my goals in life is to go to all the places you've gone, and...

12
00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:30,401
Just don't go to Shirley.

13
00:00:30,436 --> 00:00:31,362
She's mine.

14
00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:39,513
- Don't talk to me about appointments,
- It's just that without a scheduled appointment

15
00:00:39,548 --> 00:00:41,584
- my husband didn't have an appointment with death!
- there's no one that I can get you in to see.

16
00:00:41,619 --> 00:00:43,759
I am not leaving until I meet with a lawyer!

17
00:00:43,794 --> 00:00:44,930
What seems to be the matter?

18
00:00:44,965 --> 00:00:47,771
This skinny little thing here won't take my business because I'm black.

19
00:00:47,806 --> 00:00:48,850
That's what's going on.

20
00:00:48,885 --> 00:00:50,348
I'm sure that's not the case.

21
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:51,996
Well how would you know, were you here?

22
00:00:52,031 --> 00:00:52,860
What's going on?

23
00:00:52,895 --> 00:00:55,039
Evidently her husband was struck and killed by lightning.

24
00:00:55,074 --> 00:00:57,577
She wants to sue God.

25
00:00:57,912 --> 00:01:00,493
Your talking about me, don't think I don't know you are talking about me.

26
00:01:00,528 --> 00:01:02,028
- Mrs. uh...
- I am not leaving!

27
00:01:02,063 --> 00:01:04,650
You gonna have to bring in a bulldozer and plow me out.

28
00:01:04,685 --> 00:01:05,947
I'm sure that won't be necessary.

29
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:06,903
Let me just speak with her.

30
00:01:06,904 --> 00:01:08,628
Absolutely not, anybody but you.

31
00:01:08,663 --> 00:01:10,353
What is that supposed to mean?

32
00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:13,315
I know you, Denise. You'll probably wind up taking this case.

33
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:14,910
And what is that supposed to mean?

34
00:01:14,945 --> 00:01:18,071
Where is my lawyer? Ten seconds and I scream.

35
00:01:18,106 --> 00:01:18,900
No, Please don't do...

36
00:01:18,935 --> 00:01:19,837
One!

37
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:23,320
OK. Meet with her, but that's it.

38
00:01:23,355 --> 00:01:28,567
Brad, go with Denise, make sure she does not take this case.

39
00:01:31,572 --> 00:01:32,993
Alan!

40
00:01:33,028 --> 00:01:34,907
Shirley, I was just thinking of you.

41
00:01:34,942 --> 00:01:36,009
Were you now?

42
00:01:36,044 --> 00:01:40,447
Well, not you specifically, your doll.

43
00:01:40,482 --> 00:01:44,638
I thought I aught to put in some hard hours practicing with her in preparation

44
00:01:44,673 --> 00:01:48,092
for finding you under the mistletoe at the Christmas party

45
00:01:48,127 --> 00:01:50,772
and stemming your yuletide with my skilled and darting tongue.

46
00:01:50,807 --> 00:01:53,418
You are coming to the Christmas party, aren't you, Shirley?

47
00:01:53,453 --> 00:01:56,398
I wouldn't dream of missing it.

48
00:01:57,015 --> 00:01:57,829
What's that?

49
00:01:57,864 --> 00:01:59,716
Oh, that's just a case I'm assigning.

50
00:01:59,751 --> 00:02:02,285
Something senior partners tend to do on occasion.

51
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,280
This is one of Edwin Poole's cases.

52
00:02:04,315 --> 00:02:06,631
It seems to have slipped through my crack.

53
00:02:06,666 --> 00:02:08,947
So I thought you'd find it especially tasty.

54
00:02:08,982 --> 00:02:11,453
Ah. What kind of case?

55
00:02:11,488 --> 00:02:14,895
A woman is trying to get custody of her sisters' twins.

56
00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:18,476
Evidently the little girls are budding country music stars and

57
00:02:18,511 --> 00:02:21,987
the woman feels that this is no way to raise children.

58
00:02:22,022 --> 00:02:25,645
You can't be serious. She's trying to get custody because the girls sing?

59
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,801
The sister it seems is a bit protective.

60
00:02:27,836 --> 00:02:29,887
Anyway, we represent the mother and father.

61
00:02:29,922 --> 00:02:33,756
The trial starts tomorrow and you need to meet the clients.

62
00:02:33,791 --> 00:02:35,525
What's my motivation?

63
00:02:36,088 --> 00:02:38,505
- I beg your pardon?
- My characters' motivation?

64
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:42,658
I can't just jump cold into a case Shirley. I need incentive.

65
00:02:42,693 --> 00:02:44,408
Such as?

66
00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:46,798
Well...

67
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:48,761
Let's say if I win,

68
00:02:48,796 --> 00:02:51,376
you have to dress up as a playboy bunny for the Christmas party.

69
00:02:51,411 --> 00:02:53,025
Think of morale, Shirley.

70
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:55,193
And if you lose, you dress up as the bunny?

71
00:02:55,228 --> 00:02:56,206
Even better.

72
00:02:56,241 --> 00:02:57,185
Fine then.

73
00:02:57,186 --> 00:02:59,245
You have a bet.

74
00:03:04,057 --> 00:03:05,452
What am I missing?

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,532
- How is everything, guys?
- Wonderful.

76
00:03:40,567 --> 00:03:44,305
Wonderful Sophia, I have a feeling this was a happy cow.

77
00:03:45,393 --> 00:03:47,184
Mr. Crane may I speak with you for a minute?

78
00:03:47,219 --> 00:03:49,016
Absolutely, is it sexual?

79
00:03:49,051 --> 00:03:50,134
I need more butter.

80
00:03:50,169 --> 00:03:53,523
No it's a legal thing, and it's personal.

81
00:03:53,987 --> 00:03:55,651
I'll get the butter.

82
00:03:55,849 --> 00:03:57,554
Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.

83
00:04:00,648 --> 00:04:02,944
It's about my daughter Claire.

84
00:04:02,979 --> 00:04:05,241
She's sixteen and I'm losing her.

85
00:04:05,276 --> 00:04:06,211
Drugs?

86
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:08,134
No, she's got anorexia.

87
00:04:08,169 --> 00:04:10,569
We've been fighting about it for months.

88
00:04:10,604 --> 00:04:13,024
She says nothing's wrong and then she starts screaming at me

89
00:04:13,059 --> 00:04:15,030
and I start screaming back.

90
00:04:15,065 --> 00:04:18,984
Last week she moved out, she's staying with her girlfriend

91
00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:21,634
and today I got served with this.

92
00:04:21,669 --> 00:04:23,698
Looks like a legal thing. A document.

93
00:04:23,733 --> 00:04:25,979
She wants to be emancipated.

94
00:04:26,014 --> 00:04:28,190
I'm really scared, Mr. Crane.

95
00:04:28,225 --> 00:04:32,316
Sophia, bring her into my office and I'll talk some sense into her.

96
00:04:32,351 --> 00:04:35,473
Failing that, maybe a couple of cupcakes.

97
00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:36,960
What exactly are you gonna say?

98
00:04:36,995 --> 00:04:40,759
Well, I'll tell her, man needs to eat.

99
00:04:40,794 --> 00:04:42,284
Excuse me.

100
00:04:46,255 --> 00:04:47,663
It wasn't me.

101
00:04:48,938 --> 00:04:52,492
You must know that any judge is going to laugh at a claim like this.

102
00:04:52,527 --> 00:04:54,778
Anabelle...

103
00:04:55,427 --> 00:04:57,485
what's really going on?

104
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,171
I'm angry.

105
00:04:59,206 --> 00:05:01,746
My husband was not meant to die

106
00:05:01,781 --> 00:05:05,115
and I'm angry that people just seem to flick it off like...

107
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:07,238
What do you mean they flick it off?

108
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:11,277
Like somehow because he got struck by lightning, it was meant to be.

109
00:05:11,312 --> 00:05:14,814
You get cancer, you die in a car crash, it's tragic.

110
00:05:14,849 --> 00:05:16,363
But a lightning bolt...

111
00:05:16,398 --> 00:05:21,407
his number was up, accept it. Well, I can't accept it.

112
00:05:21,442 --> 00:05:23,733
And suing somebody, maybe even God...

113
00:05:23,768 --> 00:05:27,923
I just want to give voice to my rage. That's all.

114
00:05:28,156 --> 00:05:31,113
He was the only man I ever loved.

115
00:05:31,148 --> 00:05:34,070
How can God just take him away?

116
00:05:35,679 --> 00:05:37,478
Don't even think about it.

117
00:05:37,513 --> 00:05:40,350
I was talking to him when it happened, you know.

118
00:05:40,385 --> 00:05:43,075
He was on the golf course.

119
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,765
I called him on his cell.

120
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,062
I heard the crack and he was gone.

121
00:05:52,136 --> 00:05:57,267
I'm sorry. I can't just sit home and grieve.

122
00:05:57,482 --> 00:06:00,590
I just have to do something.

123
00:06:00,921 --> 00:06:02,693
- Mrs. Carruthers.
- Denise...

124
00:06:02,728 --> 00:06:04,466
I'm going to take your case.

125
00:06:04,678 --> 00:06:06,855
They're beautiful, well behaved...

126
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:09,033
We home school, on the road as well.

127
00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:10,406
My sister has issues.

128
00:06:10,441 --> 00:06:13,044
She's suing for custody because of what they sing?

129
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:17,943
Basically she thinks the songs and our values are too conservative.

130
00:06:17,978 --> 00:06:20,279
Would you like to hear them perform Mr. Shore?

131
00:06:20,314 --> 00:06:21,721
Delighted.

132
00:06:30,577 --> 00:06:35,046
Rise up and shine, America's sons and daughters,

133
00:06:35,081 --> 00:06:39,385
Rise up and shine, you've got to fight to part those waters.

134
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:41,738
When we swim in the light,

135
00:06:41,773 --> 00:06:44,022
all will be okay.

136
00:06:44,057 --> 00:06:48,166
The black, yellow and brown man will wash away.

137
00:06:48,201 --> 00:06:53,250
Yes, the black, yellow and brown man will wash away.

138
00:06:53,285 --> 00:06:57,956
Rise up and shine, Americas sons and daughters,

139
00:06:57,991 --> 00:07:01,338
Rise up and shine, you've got to fight to part those waters.

140
00:07:01,373 --> 00:07:04,686
When we swim in the light all will be okay.

141
00:07:04,721 --> 00:07:07,184
- My sister thinks we're racist.
- Got it.

142
00:07:07,219 --> 00:07:10,948
The black, yellow and brown man will wash away.

143
00:07:10,983 --> 00:07:16,549
Yes, the black, yellow and brown man will wash away.

144
00:07:22,979 --> 00:07:24,191
Shirley.

145
00:07:24,226 --> 00:07:25,403
Yes, Alan.

146
00:07:25,938 --> 00:07:29,124
You didn't mention that the clients were white supremacists.

147
00:07:29,159 --> 00:07:31,256
Didn't I? That doesn't seem right. Does it?

148
00:07:31,291 --> 00:07:32,246
No, it doesn't, Shirley,

149
00:07:32,281 --> 00:07:35,477
and I've always considered you such a beacon of fair play.

150
00:07:35,512 --> 00:07:36,854
Well, look on the bright side.

151
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:40,715
You'll look great in that bunny outfit. Think of morale, Alan.

152
00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:42,318
Motivated yet?

153
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:48,669
Okay, you are all here for the assistant position.

154
00:07:48,704 --> 00:07:50,790
I will be interviewing you one by one.

155
00:07:50,825 --> 00:07:53,017
Each of you will have about three minutes.

156
00:07:53,052 --> 00:07:56,371
I do not care about your dreams for world peace.

157
00:07:56,406 --> 00:07:59,997
You will not impress me with your concerns for whales,

158
00:08:00,032 --> 00:08:02,900
AIDS babies, or greenhouse emissions.

159
00:08:02,935 --> 00:08:06,644
And if you're religious, for God's sake, keep it to yourself.

160
00:08:06,679 --> 00:08:09,386
All I want to know is how fast you type,

161
00:08:09,421 --> 00:08:13,170
what's your experience, level of education and...

162
00:08:13,406 --> 00:08:16,100
Clarice.

163
00:08:16,135 --> 00:08:17,737
Don't look at me like that.

164
00:08:17,772 --> 00:08:21,019
You're applying for the assistant position?

165
00:08:21,054 --> 00:08:23,854
I have skills.

166
00:08:23,889 --> 00:08:26,410
Okay, wig off.

167
00:08:26,445 --> 00:08:28,931
You first, Ho.

168
00:08:29,163 --> 00:08:32,431
Clarence, wig off!

169
00:08:39,476 --> 00:08:41,361
What's going on?

170
00:08:42,007 --> 00:08:44,129
I quit the other job.

171
00:08:44,164 --> 00:08:46,208
It wasn't the same after they took me back.

172
00:08:46,243 --> 00:08:50,480
And what makes you think that you could be a legal secretary?

173
00:08:50,515 --> 00:08:52,537
I went to law school.

174
00:08:52,572 --> 00:08:54,855
And Clarice has good people skills.

175
00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:56,547
You went to law school?

176
00:08:56,582 --> 00:08:58,849
I never practiced.

177
00:08:58,884 --> 00:09:01,887
But... but Clarice knows everything I know and...

178
00:09:01,922 --> 00:09:04,744
Okay, I am not hiring Clarice.

179
00:09:04,779 --> 00:09:07,566
I don't even like Clarice.

180
00:09:07,601 --> 00:09:09,941
I will hire you

181
00:09:09,976 --> 00:09:12,281
on a trial basis.

182
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:15,795
I don't think I...

183
00:09:15,830 --> 00:09:18,621
It's too high pressure. I have to be her.

184
00:09:18,656 --> 00:09:22,629
The offer is extended to Clarence, not Clarice.

185
00:09:30,269 --> 00:09:31,760
I thought we were just gonna talk.

186
00:09:31,795 --> 00:09:34,734
We are, but since you got a lawyer, I thought I should have one, too.

187
00:09:34,769 --> 00:09:36,759
- Shelley Ford.
- Denny Crane.

188
00:09:36,794 --> 00:09:39,391
Where did you come from, and how is she paying you?

189
00:09:39,426 --> 00:09:40,779
We met on my web site.

190
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:42,559
I'm a supporter of the pro-ana movement

191
00:09:42,594 --> 00:09:44,630
and an attorney with Yannetti, Bauer & Lewis.

192
00:09:44,665 --> 00:09:46,037
I took this case pro bono.

193
00:09:46,072 --> 00:09:47,633
And what the hell is pro-ana?

194
00:09:47,668 --> 00:09:49,160
It's short of pro-anorexia.

195
00:09:49,195 --> 00:09:51,437
Now wait a minute. You're in favor of a disease?

196
00:09:51,472 --> 00:09:54,595
Pro-ana is not a disease, Mr. Crane. It's a lifestyle choice.

197
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:56,465
It's like being gay or an atheist.

198
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,082
We're out of the closet. We're not ashamed of it.

199
00:09:58,117 --> 00:10:01,180
We're tired of all the nasty labels. And we're proud of the way we live.

200
00:10:01,215 --> 00:10:02,946
You're going to starve to death!

201
00:10:02,981 --> 00:10:04,884
I don't know how to be more clear.

202
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:06,788
And once again, you heard nothing.

203
00:10:06,823 --> 00:10:08,807
Liver failure, muscle loss!

204
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:10,737
- Stop it!
- You stopped your period a year ago.

205
00:10:10,772 --> 00:10:11,848
- Do you want to have children?
- Stop it!

206
00:10:11,883 --> 00:10:15,538
Mrs. Wilson, you indicated you had something to say. What is it?

207
00:10:16,129 --> 00:10:17,972
You're too skinny.

208
00:10:18,007 --> 00:10:19,780
Snap out of it.

209
00:10:19,815 --> 00:10:21,520
I guess we'll see each other in court.

210
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:23,247
Not if you turn sideways.

211
00:10:27,044 --> 00:10:28,098
What?

212
00:10:28,930 --> 00:10:30,078
You did what?

213
00:10:30,113 --> 00:10:32,060
If we can just get past summary judgment...

214
00:10:32,095 --> 00:10:34,637
You won't get past it. Suing God?

215
00:10:34,672 --> 00:10:36,925
Have you lost your mind? And you...

216
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,178
I told you to prevent this from happening.

217
00:10:39,213 --> 00:10:41,121
- I tried.
- You tried!

218
00:10:41,156 --> 00:10:42,284
What's up?

219
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:47,449
Brad and Denise have decided to represent a woman suing God.

220
00:10:47,484 --> 00:10:48,914
I didn't decide. She...

221
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:51,320
You both bear responsibility for taking this case.

222
00:10:51,355 --> 00:10:54,060
You both will figure out a way to beat summary judgment.

223
00:10:54,095 --> 00:10:56,002
That shouldn't be too hard.

224
00:10:58,270 --> 00:11:01,188
Do you know the facts of this case, Mr. Coho?

225
00:11:01,223 --> 00:11:04,303
No, but anybody can get a case past summary judgment.

226
00:11:05,158 --> 00:11:06,394
Maybe not.

227
00:11:06,429 --> 00:11:09,794
Okay. All three of you will bear responsibility.

228
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:11,209
- Whoa, whoa, no.
- No, no!

229
00:11:11,244 --> 00:11:12,555
You just got yourself assigned.

230
00:11:12,590 --> 00:11:16,813
You can take this opportunity to further your bond with Mr. Chase.

231
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:25,344
I was raised the same way they were.

232
00:11:25,379 --> 00:11:27,589
Our parents told us the same stories.

233
00:11:27,624 --> 00:11:29,825
About there being no holocaust,

234
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:33,879
the blacks mongrelizing the pure white race, the whole deal.

235
00:11:33,914 --> 00:11:35,791
But I was able to come out from under it.

236
00:11:35,826 --> 00:11:38,470
And now you're trying to put your stamp on our children.

237
00:11:38,505 --> 00:11:43,393
Ms. Shaw, Ms. Monroe, regardless of my personal feelings about this case.

238
00:11:43,428 --> 00:11:44,927
I can assure you of one thing,

239
00:11:44,962 --> 00:11:47,804
you have no legal standing to challenge custody here.

240
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:50,837
The court wouldn't dare take children away from their parents

241
00:11:50,872 --> 00:11:53,210
because of said parent's political beliefs.

242
00:11:53,245 --> 00:11:55,474
Mr. and Mrs. Tanner are extremists,

243
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:59,617
and they are hazardous to their own children's welfare as well as society.

244
00:11:59,652 --> 00:12:01,074
And we are prepared to prove

245
00:12:01,109 --> 00:12:05,246
that this custody battle is not only a matter of child welfare,

246
00:12:05,281 --> 00:12:08,182
but of national security.

247
00:12:08,464 --> 00:12:10,967
She actually cited national security

248
00:12:11,002 --> 00:12:13,801
as grounds for taking children away from their parents.

249
00:12:13,836 --> 00:12:15,508
White supremacists are hate cells.

250
00:12:15,543 --> 00:12:18,525
Hate cells are a breeding ground for terror. It's a fact.

251
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,473
If seeing Shirley in pink ears weren't incentive enough,

252
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:25,263
I think I actually might have to fight this one on principle.

253
00:12:26,627 --> 00:12:31,066
So basically, we've both got mothers trying to hang on to their daughters.

254
00:12:31,101 --> 00:12:35,030
Maybe we should critique each other's closings.

255
00:12:40,296 --> 00:12:41,944
What?

256
00:12:41,979 --> 00:12:44,869
You... you don't think I can do this?

257
00:12:45,706 --> 00:12:47,520
I most certainly didn't say that.

258
00:12:47,555 --> 00:12:49,565
Oh, yes, you did.

259
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:51,722
You don't trust me.

260
00:12:51,757 --> 00:12:53,901
- Denny...
- I know you too well, Alan.

261
00:12:53,936 --> 00:12:56,010
You don't think I can handle this solo.

262
00:12:56,045 --> 00:12:59,251
I'm simply saying, given the enormity of the stakes,

263
00:12:59,286 --> 00:13:02,919
it can't hurt either of us to get feedback.

264
00:13:04,906 --> 00:13:06,579
Right.

265
00:13:08,878 --> 00:13:13,435
I'm getting sick of having to prove myself to you.

266
00:13:39,374 --> 00:13:44,554
Clarence, one of your duties would be to pick up the phone

267
00:13:44,589 --> 00:13:47,907
when it makes noises like that.

268
00:13:48,426 --> 00:13:49,945
I... I can't.

269
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:53,017
Can you at least let me be her on the phone?

270
00:13:55,735 --> 00:13:56,865
Okay.

271
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:59,840
I will let you be her on the phone at the beginning,

272
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:02,268
but you will not be calling our clients "Hos".

273
00:14:02,303 --> 00:14:05,415
And after a month, you will have to be you all the time,

274
00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:07,266
including when you are on the phone.

275
00:14:07,301 --> 00:14:08,618
Thank you.

276
00:14:11,483 --> 00:14:13,237
Claire Sim's office.

277
00:14:13,272 --> 00:14:15,630
This is Clarice Bell speakin'.

278
00:14:15,665 --> 00:14:18,320
Yes, yes, indeed.

279
00:14:18,355 --> 00:14:21,210
This summer we sang at a Patriot's day picnic in Richmond

280
00:14:21,245 --> 00:14:23,504
and at the solstice festival in Tampa.

281
00:14:23,539 --> 00:14:26,971
Also, we got to do the national anthem at an anti-immigration rally in Ft. Payne.

282
00:14:27,006 --> 00:14:29,008
Katey, do you ever wish that,

283
00:14:29,043 --> 00:14:32,993
instead of having to perform at those kinds of gatherings,

284
00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:38,323
that you could do fun things like other kids... summer camp, Disneyland?

285
00:14:38,358 --> 00:14:41,399
Performing is fun for us, and it's important.

286
00:14:41,434 --> 00:14:42,892
We're standing up for something.

287
00:14:42,927 --> 00:14:46,111
And what exactly are you standing up for?

288
00:14:46,146 --> 00:14:47,436
White pride.

289
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:50,364
I mean, other groups are allowed to be proud of themselves, right?

290
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:54,040
Objection. Katey, sweetheart, you weren't asked a question.

291
00:14:54,075 --> 00:14:56,982
I'd like to hear from Katey.

292
00:14:57,204 --> 00:15:01,223
It used to just be, like, blacks with their marches and history month and stuff.

293
00:15:01,258 --> 00:15:03,702
Now it's everyone, like the Mexicans.

294
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:07,064
They illegally cross our borders then say they want to become Americans.

295
00:15:07,099 --> 00:15:10,482
But at their rallies, they just wave their Mexican flags and talk Spanish.

296
00:15:10,517 --> 00:15:13,865
With our songs, we're saying that whites need to stand up and fight back,

297
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:16,461
because the minorities, they're winning.

298
00:15:16,496 --> 00:15:17,853
Winning what?

299
00:15:17,888 --> 00:15:19,175
The race war.

300
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:21,647
Not, like with gun, with babies.

301
00:15:21,682 --> 00:15:23,245
The Mexicans, the Chinese,

302
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,527
they're all having as many kids as they can so they can take over.

303
00:15:26,562 --> 00:15:29,775
Whites are already a minority in California, Texas and New Mexico.

304
00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:31,890
We've pretty much lost those states already.

305
00:15:31,925 --> 00:15:33,532
And who told you that?

306
00:15:33,567 --> 00:15:35,140
I learned it in school.

307
00:15:35,175 --> 00:15:36,717
Your home school?

308
00:15:36,752 --> 00:15:39,861
The one that your mother teaches?

309
00:15:39,896 --> 00:15:41,394
Yes.

310
00:15:41,676 --> 00:15:43,946
Katey, have your parents ever hit you?

311
00:15:43,981 --> 00:15:45,375
Hit me? No.

312
00:15:45,410 --> 00:15:46,503
How about Lauren?

313
00:15:46,538 --> 00:15:49,028
To your knowledge, have they ever been violent with her?

314
00:15:49,063 --> 00:15:50,530
No, they love us.

315
00:15:50,565 --> 00:15:53,168
Do the two of you always get enough to eat?

316
00:15:53,203 --> 00:15:54,284
Um, yeah.

317
00:15:54,319 --> 00:15:55,580
How about your health?

318
00:15:55,615 --> 00:15:58,472
Any aches or pains not being attended to,

319
00:15:58,507 --> 00:16:01,330
perhaps a sore throat from all that singing?

320
00:16:01,365 --> 00:16:02,099
No.

321
00:16:02,134 --> 00:16:03,703
Okay. Now, Katey,

322
00:16:03,738 --> 00:16:07,183
Ms. Monroe mentioned that your mother is your teacher.

323
00:16:07,218 --> 00:16:10,628
Given all that time you spend traveling and performing,

324
00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:13,695
does she ever let you slide a little when it comes to school?

325
00:16:13,696 --> 00:16:16,086
I wish. We do way more homework

326
00:16:16,121 --> 00:16:18,721
and get better test scores than kids in regular schools.

327
00:16:18,756 --> 00:16:20,672
And whenever we take a trip somewhere,

328
00:16:20,707 --> 00:16:24,264
our dad always turns it into a total history lesson.

329
00:16:24,299 --> 00:16:26,081
I can imagine.

330
00:16:26,358 --> 00:16:33,102
So, you're safe and well fed, healthy and successful.

331
00:16:33,137 --> 00:16:35,121
Let me ask you.

332
00:16:35,156 --> 00:16:38,084
As long as you and your sister could be together,

333
00:16:38,119 --> 00:16:41,099
and if it were up to you, with whom would you want to live?

334
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:44,088
We want to live at home with our family.

335
00:16:45,436 --> 00:16:46,539
Sue the Church?

336
00:16:46,574 --> 00:16:48,771
Why not? A lightning bolt is an act of God.

337
00:16:48,806 --> 00:16:50,968
The church holds itself out as an agent of God.

338
00:16:51,003 --> 00:16:52,435
Let's slap the Episcopalians.

339
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:54,065
It's ridiculous.

340
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:55,263
You got a better idea?

341
00:16:55,298 --> 00:16:57,127
You're the one that's supposed to have the better ideas,

342
00:16:57,162 --> 00:16:58,956
because you said we could beat this in summary judgment.

343
00:16:58,991 --> 00:17:00,484
Okay, here's an idea.

344
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:02,513
Why don't we tell the judge to kiss my ass?

345
00:17:02,548 --> 00:17:04,998
That can work pretty nicely if you say it just right.

346
00:17:05,033 --> 00:17:06,859
Let me practice.

347
00:17:06,894 --> 00:17:10,231
Kiss my ass. What do you think?

348
00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:13,178
No, no! No, no, no. no!

349
00:17:13,213 --> 00:17:15,168
Uh-huh. That's enough.

350
00:17:18,610 --> 00:17:21,028
I don't do drugs, and I don't drink.

351
00:17:21,063 --> 00:17:24,187
I take AP classes, and I get all straight A's.

352
00:17:24,222 --> 00:17:25,682
And you're graduating early?

353
00:17:25,717 --> 00:17:26,918
With honors.

354
00:17:26,953 --> 00:17:29,252
You also have a web site, don't you?

355
00:17:29,287 --> 00:17:30,811
It's called Thinspire.

356
00:17:30,846 --> 00:17:33,742
It's a support community for goal-oriented young women.

357
00:17:33,777 --> 00:17:38,989
We post articles and suggestions on how to live a more thinspirational life.

358
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:41,465
And how do you plan to support yourself financially?

359
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:42,584
I model.

360
00:17:42,619 --> 00:17:44,639
Well, I'm just getting started, really.

361
00:17:44,674 --> 00:17:47,506
I've done fashion shows for a few local department stores,

362
00:17:47,541 --> 00:17:50,724
but recently I've gotten a lot of catalog work.

363
00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:53,907
It's pretty steady, and I make about $125 an hour.

364
00:17:53,942 --> 00:17:57,063
It sounds to me like you're doing pretty well for yourself, Ms. Wilson.

365
00:17:57,098 --> 00:17:59,644
Yes, I am.

366
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,728
What did you have for breakfast this morning?

367
00:18:01,763 --> 00:18:06,588
I had a diet soda and a cracker with some butter spray on it.

368
00:18:06,623 --> 00:18:07,539
And lunch?

369
00:18:07,574 --> 00:18:08,613
I didn't eat lunch.

370
00:18:08,614 --> 00:18:10,500
I can't eat when I'm stressed out.

371
00:18:10,535 --> 00:18:14,148
So, how many calories have you had today?

372
00:18:14,183 --> 00:18:15,080
Sixteen.

373
00:18:15,115 --> 00:18:18,559
Are you aware that the daily required number of calories

374
00:18:18,594 --> 00:18:22,652
for someone of your age and height is somewhere between 1,800 and 2,500?

375
00:18:22,687 --> 00:18:26,339
And are you aware that two out of three Americans are overweight?

376
00:18:26,374 --> 00:18:27,945
No one's calling them sick.

377
00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:30,590
I'm healthy. I watch what I eat and I exercise.

378
00:18:30,625 --> 00:18:33,740
You can ask any fat girl at my school if she'd want to trade places with me.

379
00:18:33,775 --> 00:18:35,518
Now don't go knocking fat girls.

380
00:18:35,553 --> 00:18:37,850
I love chubby sex and I'm sure your honor does.

381
00:18:37,885 --> 00:18:39,798
Mr. Crane!

382
00:18:41,398 --> 00:18:42,537
Ms. Wilson,

383
00:18:42,572 --> 00:18:47,620
are you aware that the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders"

384
00:18:47,655 --> 00:18:51,733
defines anorexia nervosa as a mental illness?

385
00:18:51,768 --> 00:18:55,369
Thirty years ago they said the same thing about homosexuality.

386
00:18:55,404 --> 00:18:57,251
Exactly!

387
00:18:57,286 --> 00:18:59,198
No further questions.

388
00:19:03,719 --> 00:19:04,702
I don't understand.

389
00:19:04,737 --> 00:19:08,271
Why does he need to hear closing statements? It's a simple decision.

390
00:19:08,306 --> 00:19:09,886
What is wrong with this judge?

391
00:19:09,921 --> 00:19:15,048
Well, maybe he's just prejudiced against, you know, skinheads.

392
00:19:15,455 --> 00:19:17,655
Do I look like a skinhead, Mr. Shore?

393
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,855
I'm told they can take on various forms.

394
00:19:19,890 --> 00:19:21,878
Hey, if you're prejudiced against us,

395
00:19:21,913 --> 00:19:25,013
Rise up and shine, America's sons and daughters.

396
00:19:25,048 --> 00:19:26,349
Quiet!

397
00:19:26,849 --> 00:19:30,248
Listen, as much as I enjoy the company of you, show people,

398
00:19:30,283 --> 00:19:31,912
I have a closing to prepare, so

399
00:19:31,947 --> 00:19:36,424
I'll see you and your full heads of hair at the courthouse.

400
00:19:36,459 --> 00:19:39,369
We are not bigoted. Our message is simply...

401
00:19:39,404 --> 00:19:42,770
It's good to be white. I'll meet you at the courthouse.

402
00:19:49,562 --> 00:19:51,274
Case going well?

403
00:19:51,309 --> 00:19:52,819
It isn't over yet, Shirley.

404
00:19:52,854 --> 00:19:56,174
We haven't even gotten to the part where I deliver my politically biased

405
00:19:56,209 --> 00:19:58,862
but compelling closing argument.

406
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:07,785
Now, how cute is that?

407
00:20:15,414 --> 00:20:17,085
We've heard testimony from your daughter

408
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,725
that at her new, lower weight, her social life's improved.

409
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,295
- She's being asked out on dates.
- That's true, but...

410
00:20:22,330 --> 00:20:25,641
She's getting more involved in school activities now that her self-esteem is up.

411
00:20:25,676 --> 00:20:27,754
We've heard she loves theater and dance.

412
00:20:27,789 --> 00:20:30,291
At her previous weight, she was getting supporting roles,

413
00:20:30,326 --> 00:20:32,758
- and now she's got the lead in "Grease", correct?
- Yes.

414
00:20:32,793 --> 00:20:35,439
Wouldn't you say your daughter, is blossoming at her new weight?

415
00:20:35,474 --> 00:20:36,521
But that's not the point.

416
00:20:36,556 --> 00:20:38,910
So because Claire has chosen a pro-ana lifestyle,

417
00:20:38,945 --> 00:20:40,474
her life has improved.

418
00:20:40,509 --> 00:20:42,360
She's now working professionally.

419
00:20:42,395 --> 00:20:45,728
She's completely capable of living on her own and this is a threat to you, isn't it?

420
00:20:45,763 --> 00:20:46,737
No, that's not it at all.

421
00:20:46,772 --> 00:20:48,934
And under your care, you'd want her to gain weight,

422
00:20:48,969 --> 00:20:51,535
which would make her lose her self-esteem, her career would suffer,

423
00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:53,745
but you'd still have control over your little girl's life.

424
00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:56,271
Objection! She's being, uh...

425
00:20:56,306 --> 00:20:57,504
objectionable.

426
00:20:57,539 --> 00:20:58,667
Sustained.

427
00:20:58,702 --> 00:21:03,046
I have my daughter's best interests at heart.

428
00:21:03,081 --> 00:21:05,703
You're a forty year old single mother working in a steakhouse.

429
00:21:05,738 --> 00:21:08,325
The only good thing that you have going for you is your daughter.

430
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,998
You want to hang on to her as long as you possibly can...

431
00:21:11,033 --> 00:21:13,934
- Objection!
- so you don't have to examine your own empty life.

432
00:21:13,969 --> 00:21:17,926
- Your honor!
- Ms. Ford, that's enough.

433
00:21:33,392 --> 00:21:35,124
Ms. Sims?

434
00:21:36,137 --> 00:21:38,550
You can call me Claire.

435
00:21:38,908 --> 00:21:44,567
Claire, uh, the, uh, the case that Mr. Coho and Mr. Chase are working on...

436
00:21:45,405 --> 00:21:49,492
I, uh... I pulled up some research.

437
00:21:52,404 --> 00:21:53,379
The cell phone?

438
00:21:53,414 --> 00:21:56,696
Evidently, he was talking on it when he got struck by the lightning?

439
00:21:56,731 --> 00:22:00,140
Those studies linking cell phones and lightning have been completely debunked.

440
00:22:00,175 --> 00:22:01,944
Well...

441
00:22:04,386 --> 00:22:07,409
Go ahead, Clarence.

442
00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:11,222
Clarence.

443
00:22:12,315 --> 00:22:16,322
The... The studies have been, uh, mainly discounted, but not totally.

444
00:22:16,357 --> 00:22:20,330
And conflicting studies... it... becomes a question of fact, not law.

445
00:22:20,365 --> 00:22:24,406
Which means the case can't get kicked at summary judgment.

446
00:22:24,859 --> 00:22:27,205
Can I see those studies, please?

447
00:22:30,555 --> 00:22:32,948
Interesting, I could run with this.

448
00:22:33,273 --> 00:22:34,830
I'll run with it.

449
00:22:34,865 --> 00:22:36,320
Guys...

450
00:22:42,367 --> 00:22:45,631
How are they supposed to seriously function in this world as adults

451
00:22:45,666 --> 00:22:48,250
if they've been brought up as white supremacists?

452
00:22:48,285 --> 00:22:49,745
Many seem to do just fine.

453
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:54,795
Your honor, is that an environment that you would subject your children to?

454
00:22:54,830 --> 00:22:57,862
And this is a physical danger as well.

455
00:22:57,897 --> 00:23:00,905
White supremacists are more likely to become involved in violence.

456
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:02,714
They're hate groups,

457
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:06,670
Mr. Shore can deride me for pulling the national security card,

458
00:23:06,705 --> 00:23:10,840
but do not tell me that the Timothy McVeighs of this world

459
00:23:10,875 --> 00:23:13,846
and the Christian Identity Organization and the like,

460
00:23:13,881 --> 00:23:16,587
which support violence and are antigovernment,

461
00:23:16,622 --> 00:23:20,331
you can't tell me that they don't pose a threat to this country.

462
00:23:20,366 --> 00:23:26,972
For God's sake, these two little girls are being taught to adhere to a whites-only,

463
00:23:27,007 --> 00:23:30,998
immigrant-bashing, Jew-hating ideology.

464
00:23:31,033 --> 00:23:32,888
You heard them.

465
00:23:32,923 --> 00:23:38,688
And their performances are being used to recruit other people to join in with the prejudice.

466
00:23:38,723 --> 00:23:43,786
How can this court not step in and rescue them?

467
00:23:49,544 --> 00:23:52,741
Benjamin Franklin is often attributed with the quote,

468
00:23:52,776 --> 00:23:54,726
"Those who would give up essential liberty

469
00:23:54,761 --> 00:23:58,286
to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither."

470
00:23:58,321 --> 00:24:01,228
And he certainly knew what he was talking about.

471
00:24:01,263 --> 00:24:04,135
He ate lots of red meat and invented the swim fin.

472
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:07,750
When our current president, who, by the way, has invented nothing,

473
00:24:07,785 --> 00:24:10,505
signed the Patriot Act into law in 2001,

474
00:24:10,540 --> 00:24:12,899
not a single member of congress could be found

475
00:24:12,934 --> 00:24:15,223
who had read the bill all the way through.

476
00:24:15,258 --> 00:24:17,669
And yet, they couldn't wait to hand over our rights.

477
00:24:17,704 --> 00:24:19,674
"Al Queda's coming. Where's my pen?"

478
00:24:19,709 --> 00:24:21,475
Anything to feel safe.

479
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:24,409
Like a parent who dangles car keys to distract a child,

480
00:24:24,444 --> 00:24:28,508
our government whips out national security to grab our attention

481
00:24:28,543 --> 00:24:30,014
whenever they deem it necessary.

482
00:24:30,049 --> 00:24:32,411
And that's what opposing council is doing here.

483
00:24:32,446 --> 00:24:34,774
But this case is not about national security.

484
00:24:34,809 --> 00:24:36,102
It's about a family.

485
00:24:36,137 --> 00:24:40,789
Granted, a family that is so filled with spite

486
00:24:40,824 --> 00:24:46,022
and ignorance and shockingly untutored ideas that it beggars the imagination,

487
00:24:46,057 --> 00:24:48,456
but still a family.

488
00:24:48,491 --> 00:24:53,511
And as long as Lauren and Katey are well fed and well cared for,

489
00:24:53,546 --> 00:24:58,101
a family the law cannot and should not touch.

490
00:24:58,756 --> 00:25:02,982
Now I think we would all agree

491
00:25:03,017 --> 00:25:09,100
that we'd prefer these children to be raised in a different way.

492
00:25:09,324 --> 00:25:12,309
Certainly Mrs. Tanner's sister thinks so.

493
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:15,294
But she knows legally that is not possible,

494
00:25:15,329 --> 00:25:16,542
so she and her lawyer are

495
00:25:16,577 --> 00:25:22,329
wheeling out our latest favorite rights-squashing mechanism, national security.

496
00:25:22,364 --> 00:25:24,302
And who can blame them? It's all the rage.

497
00:25:24,337 --> 00:25:26,205
If you want to look at people's bank records,

498
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,201
tap their phones, read their e-mails, go ahead, do it.

499
00:25:30,236 --> 00:25:32,452
Just say it's a matter of national security.

500
00:25:32,487 --> 00:25:35,850
And now we're claiming the Tanner family is a threat.

501
00:25:35,885 --> 00:25:41,125
If that is the case, if there is any actual evidence linking them to a crime,

502
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,902
by all means, be my guest, please, have at 'em, arrest them.

503
00:25:43,937 --> 00:25:48,086
But if there is no cause to arrest them,

504
00:25:49,253 --> 00:25:53,638
then leave this family alone.

505
00:26:10,928 --> 00:26:12,321
Where's my mom? Is she all right?

506
00:26:12,356 --> 00:26:14,536
She's in here, still alive.

507
00:26:18,949 --> 00:26:21,483
- You lied to me.
- No, I didn't.

508
00:26:21,877 --> 00:26:24,981
I told you your mom was in the hospital, and you had to get down here immediately,

509
00:26:25,016 --> 00:26:27,272
and she is still alive.

510
00:26:28,003 --> 00:26:32,709
Only this young woman unfortunately, is not doing quite so well.

511
00:26:40,164 --> 00:26:43,367
Ms. Murr, Claire Wilson.

512
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:51,066
My daughter Cathy has complications due to anorexia nervosa.

513
00:27:01,570 --> 00:27:02,707
Claire.

514
00:27:02,742 --> 00:27:06,854
You really thought that that after school special "O. C." crap was going to work on me?

515
00:27:06,889 --> 00:27:09,176
- Cookie?
- That girl has what you have.

516
00:27:09,211 --> 00:27:10,743
No, she doesn't.

517
00:27:10,778 --> 00:27:13,791
- A true pro-ana wouldn't fail like that.
- Are you serious?

518
00:27:13,826 --> 00:27:16,320
- Chips?
- Stop offering me food.

519
00:27:16,355 --> 00:27:18,779
What the hell is going on here?

520
00:27:18,814 --> 00:27:22,494
My mother and Mr. Crane are trying to scare me by showing me a girl who's dying.

521
00:27:22,529 --> 00:27:24,302
You're going to die, Claire.

522
00:27:24,337 --> 00:27:26,218
Can't you get that? You're going to die.

523
00:27:26,253 --> 00:27:28,056
You had the nerve to call my client down here

524
00:27:28,091 --> 00:27:29,898
and show her that without my knowledge?

525
00:27:29,933 --> 00:27:31,196
This is outrageous.

526
00:27:31,231 --> 00:27:33,550
I'll notify the court. I'll notify the BAR.

527
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:36,957
Congratulations, you've just lost your daughter.

528
00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:48,663
Oh, Alan.

529
00:27:48,951 --> 00:27:51,282
Sophia, hello.

530
00:27:53,494 --> 00:27:54,624
Come in.

531
00:27:54,659 --> 00:27:57,275
Can I ask you, um...

532
00:27:57,534 --> 00:27:59,477
Is Denny Crane any good?

533
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:01,386
Why do you ask me that?

534
00:28:01,421 --> 00:28:04,008
Well, he's been a bit of a clown in court,

535
00:28:04,043 --> 00:28:08,421
and he orchestrated this ridiculous stunt at a hospital.

536
00:28:08,456 --> 00:28:11,548
And I'm gonna...

537
00:28:11,583 --> 00:28:13,973
I am gonna lose my daughter.

538
00:28:14,008 --> 00:28:17,222
Is there any way you could take over?

539
00:28:17,257 --> 00:28:19,330
Ooh, that would be...

540
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:22,501
I'm not sure Denny Crane knows what he's doing.

541
00:28:23,867 --> 00:28:26,731
Sophia, what's going on?

542
00:28:26,766 --> 00:28:29,132
Sophia and I were just discussing the case, Denny.

543
00:28:29,167 --> 00:28:32,966
She mentioned your creative stunt at the hospital this morning.

544
00:28:33,001 --> 00:28:34,114
Brilliant.

545
00:28:34,149 --> 00:28:37,434
I just finished my closing. Would you like to read it?

546
00:28:37,691 --> 00:28:38,879
Sure.

547
00:28:38,914 --> 00:28:40,397
My office.

548
00:28:45,356 --> 00:28:46,721
I'm gonna have to hire somebody else.

549
00:28:46,756 --> 00:28:49,865
Don't do anything yet, Sophia. Let me work on this.

550
00:29:00,457 --> 00:29:05,892
This is a situation that touches two deep emotional chords in all of us.

551
00:29:05,927 --> 00:29:08,521
The sanctity of the family on the one hand,

552
00:29:08,556 --> 00:29:12,704
the distaste we feel for hatemongering on the other.

553
00:29:12,739 --> 00:29:14,339
But the law is clear.

554
00:29:14,374 --> 00:29:17,822
Mr. and Mrs. Tanner may be questionable as human beings

555
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:21,205
but they are loving parents.

556
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,392
The petitioner's motion for removal is denied.

557
00:29:35,427 --> 00:29:40,552
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah.

558
00:29:40,587 --> 00:29:41,615
Michael, row...

559
00:29:41,650 --> 00:29:45,706
Michael was a gay Jew from Mexico. You know that, of course.

560
00:29:45,741 --> 00:29:47,214
Let's go, girls.

561
00:29:55,583 --> 00:29:57,633
Just let me lead, and then you follow.

562
00:29:57,668 --> 00:29:59,684
I'll lead. It's my case. I took it.

563
00:29:59,719 --> 00:30:00,587
She took it.

564
00:30:00,622 --> 00:30:02,070
Under my supervision as partner.

565
00:30:02,105 --> 00:30:04,390
Guys, you're both partners. I'm not.

566
00:30:04,425 --> 00:30:06,258
So why am I the only one acting like an adult?

567
00:30:06,293 --> 00:30:08,004
Okay, let me just say something before we go in here.

568
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:10,080
I have tried to have patience with him,

569
00:30:10,115 --> 00:30:11,661
but I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.

570
00:30:11,696 --> 00:30:13,497
You ever win any battles, Brad?

571
00:30:13,532 --> 00:30:15,089
Okay, let's go in.

572
00:30:16,155 --> 00:30:18,315
Good morning, thank you for agreeing to see us.

573
00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:20,475
I am Denise Bauer. This is Brad Chase and...

574
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:21,349
I'm Jeffrey Coho.

575
00:30:21,384 --> 00:30:23,408
I know how busy you are, so I thought we'd cut right to it.

576
00:30:23,443 --> 00:30:26,709
We represent a woman by the name of Annabelle Caruthers whose husband was regrettably killed

577
00:30:26,744 --> 00:30:28,872
after being struck by lightning while talking on a cell phone

578
00:30:28,907 --> 00:30:31,211
manufactured by your client Cybus Technologies.

579
00:30:31,246 --> 00:30:32,156
Yes.

580
00:30:32,191 --> 00:30:34,840
Why don't you cut right to the part where we should be held liable?

581
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:36,579
- Certainly...
- You see, when lightning strikes,

582
00:30:36,614 --> 00:30:39,034
the human skin offers some protection, significant, in fact.

583
00:30:39,069 --> 00:30:42,582
What happens is electricity is conducted over the skin rather than through the body.

584
00:30:42,617 --> 00:30:44,194
It's a phenomenon know as flashover.

585
00:30:44,229 --> 00:30:46,513
Conductive material in direct contact with the skin,

586
00:30:46,548 --> 00:30:48,797
especially something metallic such as a mobile phone,

587
00:30:48,832 --> 00:30:50,353
can negate the flashover effect,

588
00:30:50,388 --> 00:30:52,840
cause the voltage to go right through the body.

589
00:30:52,875 --> 00:30:55,042
We've brought three studies that speak to liability.

590
00:30:55,077 --> 00:30:57,734
As for the issue of foresee-ability, there have been other cases.

591
00:30:57,769 --> 00:30:59,850
In Australia, they now issue warnings.

592
00:30:59,885 --> 00:31:01,579
England is considering doing so.

593
00:31:01,614 --> 00:31:05,439
The fact is using a cell phone in a thunderstorm is potentially lethal.

594
00:31:05,474 --> 00:31:07,631
And can result in death.

595
00:31:07,666 --> 00:31:09,551
It resulted in the death of our client's husband.

596
00:31:09,586 --> 00:31:11,224
Look, you're gonna have your experts. We'll have ours.

597
00:31:11,259 --> 00:31:13,452
But in the meantime, the cost of negative publicity alone...

598
00:31:13,487 --> 00:31:16,252
Not to mention, of the billions of dollars generated from cell phone usage,

599
00:31:16,287 --> 00:31:19,708
hundreds of millions come from people talking on the outside in inclement weather.

600
00:31:19,743 --> 00:31:23,234
You don't want people putting their cell phones away during storms, do you?

601
00:32:02,506 --> 00:32:05,487
You should both be embarrassed, for God's sake.

602
00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:09,170
Do you have anything to say for yourself?

603
00:32:09,205 --> 00:32:11,057
- I won.
- You did not.

604
00:32:11,092 --> 00:32:12,910
Oh, shut up, both of you!

605
00:32:12,945 --> 00:32:13,881
God!

606
00:32:13,916 --> 00:32:16,155
Obviously I have to keep you apart,

607
00:32:16,190 --> 00:32:20,373
since you lack the maturity to conduct yourselves as adults.

608
00:32:21,961 --> 00:32:23,444
We got an offer.

609
00:32:23,479 --> 00:32:24,723
What do you mean, you got an offer?

610
00:32:24,758 --> 00:32:28,864
$75,000. Its not a lot, but as far as a lightning-bolt case goes...

611
00:32:28,899 --> 00:32:30,336
- Told you I'd get something.
- I got it.

612
00:32:30,371 --> 00:32:31,680
Shut up!

613
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:43,572
Who's this?

614
00:32:43,607 --> 00:32:47,799
I'm Alan Shore. Mr. Crane was unexpectedly called to court.

615
00:32:47,834 --> 00:32:51,410
I'm filling in. I'll make this very brief.

616
00:32:51,445 --> 00:32:52,397
What's this?

617
00:32:52,432 --> 00:32:54,341
This would be an arrest warrant.

618
00:32:54,342 --> 00:32:55,354
Don't be concerned.

619
00:32:55,389 --> 00:32:57,773
They won't execute it unless I give them the word.

620
00:32:57,808 --> 00:32:59,339
An arrest warrant for whom?

621
00:32:59,374 --> 00:33:00,519
You.

622
00:33:00,554 --> 00:33:01,348
Me?

623
00:33:01,383 --> 00:33:02,800
Yes, Ms. Wilson.

624
00:33:02,801 --> 00:33:06,424
It turns out your web site gives other teenagers' advice on

625
00:33:06,459 --> 00:33:10,047
how to acquire diet pills with or without a prescription.

626
00:33:10,082 --> 00:33:11,133
That's not against the law.

627
00:33:11,168 --> 00:33:13,927
It is if she is contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

628
00:33:13,962 --> 00:33:15,741
You've got all kinds of little tips in there

629
00:33:15,776 --> 00:33:19,106
that could expose you to both criminal and civil liability.

630
00:33:19,141 --> 00:33:21,270
What's going on? I could actually be arrested?

631
00:33:21,305 --> 00:33:23,910
I can make this go away. Do not worry.

632
00:33:23,945 --> 00:33:26,357
Yes, you can certainly have your day in court,

633
00:33:26,392 --> 00:33:29,432
possibly prevail, though I doubt it.

634
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:30,824
And in the meantime,

635
00:33:30,859 --> 00:33:34,259
word of your arrest will undoubtedly make it to the modeling agencies,

636
00:33:34,294 --> 00:33:37,246
and there goes your livelihood. A scandalous scandal.

637
00:33:37,281 --> 00:33:39,104
And then the civil lawsuits can begin.

638
00:33:39,139 --> 00:33:42,961
Will you be representing her for free in those, Ms. Ford?

639
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:49,861
My suggestion would be to go to rehab and get the help you need. But

640
00:33:49,896 --> 00:33:51,798
I suppose you could go to jail

641
00:33:51,833 --> 00:33:57,170
and add two new photos to your portfolio, front and side.

642
00:33:58,548 --> 00:34:00,713
This is so pathetically desperate.

643
00:34:00,748 --> 00:34:02,878
Well, finally we agree on something.

644
00:34:02,913 --> 00:34:05,181
I'm desperate.

645
00:34:07,737 --> 00:34:10,653
How about the lawyer's leave?

646
00:34:10,688 --> 00:34:14,970
And you can have a conversation with your mother.

647
00:35:37,821 --> 00:35:41,058
This isn't exactly the image I had in my mind,

648
00:35:41,093 --> 00:35:43,044
but I'm still aroused.

649
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:44,961
I'm glad to hear it.

650
00:35:44,996 --> 00:35:47,082
Maybe I could throw my costume on,

651
00:35:47,117 --> 00:35:49,520
and we could go do what rabbits like to do best.

652
00:35:49,555 --> 00:35:51,060
Don't make me hit you.

653
00:35:51,095 --> 00:35:52,163
Hit me?

654
00:35:52,164 --> 00:35:55,531
You wouldn't be standing under mistletoe unless you wanted to kiss me.

655
00:35:55,566 --> 00:35:57,106
I'm not standing under...

656
00:35:57,141 --> 00:35:58,511
Hey!

657
00:36:00,995 --> 00:36:02,383
Hey!

658
00:36:07,898 --> 00:36:12,254
Okay! The slobber you just got came from his mouth.

659
00:36:12,486 --> 00:36:14,411
Quite the party, I see.

660
00:36:14,446 --> 00:36:15,764
I assume I was invited.

661
00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:17,083
It goes without saying.

662
00:36:17,084 --> 00:36:19,090
Which is why it did.

663
00:36:19,125 --> 00:36:20,249
Dance, Denny?

664
00:36:20,284 --> 00:36:22,808
She made it sound like I have a choice.

665
00:36:25,065 --> 00:36:26,907
That leaves you and me.

666
00:36:26,942 --> 00:36:28,196
And him.

667
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:33,300
- Jerry?
- Merry Christmas, my friend.

668
00:36:34,476 --> 00:36:35,862
Thank you.

669
00:36:35,897 --> 00:36:38,070
- Open it.
- Okay.

670
00:36:39,052 --> 00:36:40,366
I paint.

671
00:36:40,401 --> 00:36:43,493
One of my hobbies is to supplant the faces of people

672
00:36:43,528 --> 00:36:46,586
I care about on famous personalities that match up well.

673
00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:48,294
I see.

674
00:36:50,765 --> 00:36:53,738
Oh. Jerry...

675
00:36:53,773 --> 00:36:56,712
It's amazing.

676
00:36:58,354 --> 00:36:59,357
Wow.

677
00:36:59,392 --> 00:37:00,356
Do you like it?

678
00:37:00,357 --> 00:37:02,251
I love it.

679
00:37:23,285 --> 00:37:25,268
I guess we should work this out.

680
00:37:25,303 --> 00:37:26,880
Does it have to be tonight?

681
00:37:26,915 --> 00:37:28,423
Well, it is the season.

682
00:37:28,458 --> 00:37:30,812
Peace on Earth, good will toward men.

683
00:37:30,847 --> 00:37:32,289
What was that?

684
00:37:32,532 --> 00:37:33,789
Good will toward men?

685
00:37:33,824 --> 00:37:35,047
No right before that.

686
00:37:35,048 --> 00:37:36,758
Peace on Earth?

687
00:37:37,085 --> 00:37:38,649
I knew it.

688
00:37:39,195 --> 00:37:40,872
A liberal.

689
00:37:54,747 --> 00:37:57,551
Aren't you coming out to join the party?

690
00:37:57,824 --> 00:37:59,323
Maybe in a minute.

691
00:37:59,358 --> 00:38:03,844
Well, I have somebody who wants to say hello to you.

692
00:38:04,658 --> 00:38:06,746
I just want to thank you.

693
00:38:06,781 --> 00:38:11,468
I was told you were the one who came up with the idea to sue the phone company.

694
00:38:11,503 --> 00:38:15,700
And $75,000, that's a lot of money to me.

695
00:38:15,735 --> 00:38:18,421
And, um, I just want to thank you.

696
00:38:18,456 --> 00:38:19,853
Okay.

697
00:38:21,652 --> 00:38:23,293
He's cute.

698
00:38:23,786 --> 00:38:25,419
Yes, he is.

699
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,199
You pass the BAR, Clarence?

700
00:38:31,234 --> 00:38:33,860
Yes, but I could never practice.

701
00:38:33,895 --> 00:38:34,847
Why not?

702
00:38:34,882 --> 00:38:36,898
I... I could never.

703
00:38:39,045 --> 00:38:41,129
I think we're gonna work on that.

704
00:39:09,547 --> 00:39:10,668
Handicapped.

705
00:39:10,703 --> 00:39:12,974
- Excuse me.
- Coming through.

706
00:39:13,009 --> 00:39:14,431
Out of my way!

707
00:39:14,466 --> 00:39:15,853
Handicapped.

708
00:39:44,963 --> 00:39:46,759
We had our first three-way tonight.

709
00:39:46,794 --> 00:39:50,906
I'm not sure that Shirley enjoyed it as much as we did.

710
00:39:53,114 --> 00:39:55,238
It was fabulous for me.

711
00:39:57,580 --> 00:40:00,307
She didn't quite taste the same as I remember.

712
00:40:00,342 --> 00:40:02,676
She tasted more like...

713
00:40:02,711 --> 00:40:05,749
Me. That was my slobber, Denny.

714
00:40:05,784 --> 00:40:08,787
We finally exchanged bodily fluids.

715
00:40:14,673 --> 00:40:17,096
Did I tell you my case worked out?

716
00:40:17,421 --> 00:40:20,885
Sophia's daughter decided to come home after all.

717
00:40:21,178 --> 00:40:22,243
Fantastic.

718
00:40:22,278 --> 00:40:26,461
Got a call from the clerk's office to come to court for the summations.

719
00:40:26,496 --> 00:40:28,608
Turns out it was a mistake.

720
00:40:28,643 --> 00:40:30,729
And, uh, by the time I got back,

721
00:40:30,764 --> 00:40:32,986
Sophia was on the phone with the good news.

722
00:40:33,021 --> 00:40:35,907
Well, you must've somehow reached the girl, Denny.

723
00:40:35,942 --> 00:40:37,808
Congratulations.

724
00:40:38,357 --> 00:40:41,284
Of course, the warrant didn't hurt.

725
00:40:44,370 --> 00:40:46,978
I may miss a lot, Alan,

726
00:40:47,013 --> 00:40:50,211
but I don't miss everything.

727
00:40:53,603 --> 00:40:56,096
I just...

728
00:40:56,419 --> 00:40:59,098
came up with the idea

729
00:40:59,133 --> 00:41:02,218
and I thought you'd object to any kind of assistance.

730
00:41:02,253 --> 00:41:05,399
So you decided to keep the truth from me?

731
00:41:07,025 --> 00:41:09,484
Sophia came to you.

732
00:41:10,042 --> 00:41:12,905
She didn't trust that I was winning.

733
00:41:14,882 --> 00:41:17,490
But I was, Alan.

734
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,515
I believe you.

735
00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:22,249
I'm not sure you do.

736
00:41:22,284 --> 00:41:26,881
But I know your heart's in the right place.

737
00:41:28,805 --> 00:41:35,227
And how can I be mad at anyone who can get Shirley to dress like a rabbit?

738
00:41:37,047 --> 00:41:39,289
She is a goddess, isn't she?

739
00:41:39,324 --> 00:41:41,458
Oh, boy.

740
00:41:49,070 --> 00:41:50,259
Denny, maybe for Christmas...

741
00:41:50,294 --> 00:41:52,137
You can't have her.

742
00:41:54,946 --> 00:41:57,102
- How about...
- No!

743
00:41:59,775 --> 00:42:02,691
Well, Merry Christmas just the same, my friend.

744
00:42:03,308 --> 00:42:05,297
Merry Christmas.
