1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:01,620
Previously on "Boston Legal"...
2
00:00:01,630 --> 00:00:03,610
mr. And mrs. Ivan tiggs.
3
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:05,050
I think ivan is cheating.
4
00:00:05,060 --> 00:00:07,340
Cheating... on you,his wife?
5
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:11,390
The important part is that you did the
brave,honorable,honest thing by telling me.
6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,020
And I still want you to represent me.
7
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:14,660
My name is leigh swift.
8
00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:16,350
- This box...
- is my lover.
9
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,300
Would you like to get a drink with me?
10
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:21,320
if you don't want to date me
anymore,please just be honest with me.
11
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:24,040
I'm quite sympathetic to the
condition of objectophilia,
12
00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:28,210
but if your girlfriend cheats on you with
a clock radio and runs off with an iphone,
13
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:30,920
she's bonkers,and you'd
best be done with her.
14
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,310
Llo!
15
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:45,110
missy.
16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,910
Bet you're surprised to see me.
17
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:49,930
well...
18
00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:54,850
I'm here under the most wonderful
and tragic of circumstances.
19
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:58,390
So...
20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,740
first the good news--
I've been in therapy...
21
00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:03,870
after ivan crushed me like a bug!
22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,620
Therapy's going well,I see.
23
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:06,790
Oh,it is.
24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,380
Very innovative.
25
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:10,960
Created by two geniuses at emerson.
26
00:01:10,970 --> 00:01:12,000
Maybe you've heard of it.
27
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:14,340
It's called "life is a song."
28
00:01:14,350 --> 00:01:17,720
Basically they teach you to look
at the world as one big musical.
29
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:19,380
I'm thriving under it.
30
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:21,990
No matter how low things could get...
31
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,190
I get the idea.
32
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:31,630
anyway,I met someone.
33
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,730
And get this-- he's a
beautiful african man.
34
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:37,930
And he speaks perfect english.
35
00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:39,570
He was born and raised in the states.
36
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:42,190
His great-grandparents
moved here years ago.
37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,480
So he's african-american then.
38
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:45,900
Exactly.
39
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:47,300
And it gets even better.
40
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,220
It couldn't possibly.
41
00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:50,690
We're pregnant.
42
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:53,720
I'm having an african-american baby.
43
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:56,600
having his baby
44
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:01,210
what's the tragic part,beside the music?
45
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:02,150
Oh,yes.
46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Well,he doesn't want to have it.
47
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:06,220
Claims he never meant
to get me pregnant.
48
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:07,650
Haven't we all heard that?
49
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:08,560
Well,did he?
50
00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:10,000
Actually,no.
51
00:02:10,570 --> 00:02:12,790
we only went out twice,actually,
52
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,140
but because I want to have a family and
there's that biological clock to worry about,
53
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:22,220
I made a teeny-weeny little deposit
of his seed thingy in the sperm bank.
54
00:02:22,230 --> 00:02:24,480
Well,why did he give
you his sperm if--
55
00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:26,720
well,he didn't exactly give it to me.
56
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:30,170
I played a little unzippedy-do
with his fly thingy,
57
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:34,430
and I "persuaded him"
with "oral arguments."
58
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,170
Then I put his african-american seed
in a test tube,and I fertilized my egg.
59
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:42,030
That's how you got mr. Sperm?
60
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:45,970
and now he says he's going to sue me.
61
00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:48,780
can you imagine?
62
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:53,610
Set out my little honey trap,now
I'm having an african-american baby
63
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,760

66
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:32,410
Hello,jerry.
67
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,410
Leigh.
68
00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:37,740
Hello,leigh.
69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,430
Jerry...
70
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:44,800
I know we parted in an awkward way,
71
00:03:44,810 --> 00:03:49,280
for which I'm ashamed,but
I'm not here about that.
72
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:51,550
I'm afraid I need a lawyer.
73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,570
I've been fired from my
long-standing teaching position.
74
00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:57,360
What'd you do,give tongue to a locker?
75
00:03:57,370 --> 00:03:58,210
that was mean.
76
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:00,890
Dumping me for a smartphone was mean.
77
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,320
wh-why did they discharge you?
78
00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:07,620
Because I hugged a student.
79
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:08,860
Not sexually.
80
00:04:08,870 --> 00:04:10,450
- Not like I would
a- - a clock radio.
81
00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:11,750
- Mean!
- Meaner!
82
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,770
you hugged a student?
83
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:15,590
A student in distress.
84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,040
I went to comfort her.
85
00:04:17,050 --> 00:04:19,600
My school has a
policy-- no hugging.
86
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:21,010
This child needed a hug.
87
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:23,020
I gave it to her.
88
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:24,810
I want to sue them.
89
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:28,530
This political correctness
crap has gone too far.
90
00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:31,410
Could you help me?
91
00:04:45,170 --> 00:04:47,720
Missy tiggs is having yourhild?
92
00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:50,840
Look,the woman practically raped me.
93
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:51,920
You know what I'm saying?
94
00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:53,100
I can't be with her.
95
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:56,440
Well,mr. Maxwell,you
don't have to be with her.
96
00:04:56,450 --> 00:04:58,410
But that's the thing,man.
97
00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:00,390
That's the thing.
98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,940
Yes.
99
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:06,340
Would you mind telling me the thing?
100
00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:08,370
Look,I got causes in my lifE.
101
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:09,360
You know what I'm saying?
102
00:05:09,370 --> 00:05:10,630
Pediatric A.I.D.S.
103
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,120
I give some to your
women with breast cancer.
104
00:05:13,130 --> 00:05:14,870
I'm a public-minded brother.
105
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,610
My biggest cause,my
thing,is daddy-go-bye-bye.
106
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:21,790
Absentee
black fathers--
107
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,790
it's a problem in the culture,in the
country,and it's my biggest thing.
108
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,810
So I got two
choices here--
109
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:32,400
be an absentee father
or live with missy tiggs.
110
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:34,700
Well,I'm afraid those
are your only two choices.
111
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:36,580
Well,I want to stop it.
112
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:38,990
- Stop it?
- Yeah,it.
113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,090
I want you to help me stop it.
114
00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:47,410
And again,for clarification,it is?
115
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:49,030
Her having my baby.
116
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,290
Oh,well,I'm afraid you can't do that.
117
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:51,540
Why not?
118
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:53,410
- Well- -
you can do it.
119
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:54,590
I heard about you.
120
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,010
No,I know they hired shirley schmidt.
121
00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:00,550
And I know you represented that
ivan dude against them before.
122
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:03,480
You need to help me...
123
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:05,310
stop it.
124
00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:14,310
First of all,I should
say I'm not a hugger.
125
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,380
I find it very difficult to hug,in fact.
126
00:06:17,390 --> 00:06:18,530
Why is that?
127
00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:22,370
Well,I'm very uncomfortable
with my hands leaving my thighs--
128
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:26,810
but on the day of january
9th,you hugged bonnie taylor.
129
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,000
Yes.
130
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:31,980
She had just done poorly on an
exam,and she was simply devastated.
131
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:33,410
I was talking to her about it.
132
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:36,740
She became inconsolable,and
I hugged her.
133
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:40,830
You were aware your
school has a no-hug policy?
134
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,240
Yes,but this student was in distress.
135
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:44,680
She needed comfort.
136
00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:49,590
And I felt I had to prioritize her needs
over the school's policy in this instance.
137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,170
You also made that exception last november
when you hugged a different student.
138
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:56,380
A boy,upset over social problems.
139
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:58,500
And you were told by the
principal not to do it again?
140
00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:00,350
Yes.
141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,510
And you made yet another exception the second
week of december,hugging yet another student.
142
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Again you were told to stop,in fact warned that
the next time could be grounds for discharge.
143
00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:11,960
This policy is not right.
144
00:07:11,970 --> 00:07:12,730
I see.
145
00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:15,340
So you made a decision to defy it.
146
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:16,340
It's unfair.
147
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:17,990
Unfair?
148
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:22,850
Has the school had a history of
treating you unfairly,ms. Swift?
149
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:26,670
What is objectophilia?
150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,780
Objection. Irrelevant.
151
00:07:27,790 --> 00:07:29,260
This woman teaches our children.
152
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:32,570
If she suffers from a sexual
disorder,it's certainly relevant,
153
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:37,160
especially when she was discharged for
improper physical conduct with a student.
154
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:41,620
It was not sexual in nature,and
for you to imply so is out of line.
155
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:46,360
What is objectophilia,ms. Swift?
156
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,020
Please answer.
157
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,730
It's a condition where one is
sexually attracted to objects.
158
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:09,160
I'm very nervous that he's coming in.
159
00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:10,400
Maybe I
should--
160
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:12,620
He's very handsome,shirley.
161
00:08:12,630 --> 00:08:15,270
Just looking at him can
make my genitalia flutter.
162
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,370
Oh,please.Can
I--
163
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:17,260
no!
164
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:18,760
It calms me,shirley.
165
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:20,260
Plus,he responds to it.
166
00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:22,790
Yeah,so do I. No singing.
167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Okay.
168
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:25,720
This here'S...
169
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,540
My lawyer.
170
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:29,830
What's going on here?
171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,160
What's going on is your
client stole my client's semen.
172
00:08:33,170 --> 00:08:34,130
Oh,right.
173
00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:36,160
You gave it quite willingly,mr. Man.
174
00:08:36,170 --> 00:08:38,340
I didn't know what you
were gonna do with it,woman.
175
00:08:38,350 --> 00:08:41,350
Ahh,I love it when he calls me "woman."
176
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:44,650
What exactly are you asking for?
177
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:46,650
An abortion.
178
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:51,070
You are kidding.
179
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,020
No. If I were kidding,I'd
stand like this.
180
00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:57,300
You--you have read a little
case called roe V.Wade,
181
00:08:57,310 --> 00:08:58,610
which says a
woman's body--
182
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:00,820
read the case,saw the
movie,got me to thinking,
183
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:03,920
wouldn't the current supreme
court just love an opportunity
184
00:09:03,930 --> 00:09:09,180
to overthrow roe without being
vilified as antiabortion? Well...
185
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:10,980
ta-da.
186
00:09:10,990 --> 00:09:11,890
What's this ta-da?
187
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:15,510
Is that some legal thingy,like res ispa?
188
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,000
What's ta-da?
189
00:09:17,010 --> 00:09:20,910
Setting aside the absurd notion
that you might actually argue this...
190
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,520
yes,setting aside that.
191
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:27,690
As a matter of law-- today's law-- once
the sperm,blood or tissue leaves the body,
192
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,370
a person no longer has
any proprietary right.
193
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,620
And also under today's law,you have no right
whatsoever to get a court-ordered abortion.
194
00:09:38,050 --> 00:09:40,030
Finish the sentence,shirley. Go ahead.
195
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,770
I did.
196
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,270
No.From your tone,
197
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,560
I could almost hear the tag,"and
I'd like to see you try."
198
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,170
I should think we'd just be
able to conflict alan out.
199
00:09:56,180 --> 00:09:58,880
No.Missy already waived conflict
when we represented ivan,
200
00:09:58,890 --> 00:10:02,430
and terrence is waiving it
now because he wants alan.
201
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,550
What can he come with?
202
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,360
Well,I think the strongest
argument would be public policy.
203
00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:10,910
The state doesn't want fraud to be used
to compel fatherhood against a man's will.
204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,380
Well,we've got bigger
public policy on our side.
205
00:10:13,390 --> 00:10:14,490
Ordering an abortion.
206
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,470
Yes,but roe V. Wade doesn't convey
a woman's right to have a baby.
207
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,250
It's premised on heright
to control her body.
208
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:22,600
Which would give her the right not to
have a medical procedure against her will.
209
00:10:22,610 --> 00:10:26,140
One would hope,but we wouldn't necessarily
be talking about a medical procedure here.
210
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:27,870
Missy's only five weeks pregnant.
211
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,550
She could take the
abortion pill,ru-486.
212
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,630
Taking a pill would arguably not
constitute an invasive procedure.
213
00:10:35,070 --> 00:10:37,560
And how would we counter that?
214
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,410
Well... vigorously?
215
00:10:43,870 --> 00:10:46,930
Personally,I hate
the no-hugging policy.
216
00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:49,530
But I dislike the
insurance premiums more.
217
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:52,820
The fact is,some teachers
have crossed the line.
218
00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:56,110
And it could do irreparable
damage to the kid,the school.
219
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:02,700
And the easiest way to safeguard against
inappropriate contact is just to say no contact.
220
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,990
So just shut down all human
contact,is that the idea?
221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,640
No.
222
00:11:07,650 --> 00:11:12,940
The idea is to shut down post-traumatic
distress when teachers abuse their trust.
223
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:15,780
The idea is to shut down lawsuits.
224
00:11:15,790 --> 00:11:17,580
It was my daughter she hugged.
225
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:18,510
Did you object?
226
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,610
Oh,god,no.
227
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:20,810
Bonnie was despondent.
228
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:23,800
Thank god there was a compassionate
teacher who was there for her.
229
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:26,720
Believe me,we've got too
many of the other kind.
230
00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:30,810
Would you have been comfortable as a parent
for a teacher with a known sexual disorder
231
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:33,730
to be physically touching your daughter?
232
00:11:33,740 --> 00:11:35,770
Probably not,but I know this teacher.
233
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:41,150
Who should bear the burden of knowing all the
teachers and deciding whether hugging is okay or not,
234
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,230
the parents or the-- or
the principal,do you think?
235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,590
Obviously the principal.
236
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,660
In fact,you as a parent trust the principal to
create a safe environment for the kids-- true?
237
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,740
Yes,that's true.
238
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:57,340
That didn't go very well,did it?
239
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:58,510
It could've been better.
240
00:11:58,780 --> 00:12:00,480
I'm sorry i haven't been better.
241
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:02,420
You've been great.
242
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:03,370
So now what?
243
00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:06,700
Well,we give our summations,and
then the judge will rule.
244
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:11,260
Jerry,I appreciate your
efforts,especially after...
245
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:13,440
I am sorry.
246
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:17,250
It's okay.
247
00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:18,360
Life goes on.
248
00:12:18,370 --> 00:12:20,980
Ob-la-di,c'est
la vie,sacre bleu.
249
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,320
Will you ever forgive me?
250
00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:25,590
Leigh...
251
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,390
right now I need to
concentrate on the case.
252
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,510
Wait a second.
253
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,950
You're actually asking
me to order an abortion?
254
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:33,810
I am,judge.
255
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:35,130
- Isn't it exciting?
- No.
256
00:12:35,140 --> 00:12:36,890
Well,then let's reframe the issue.
257
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:41,860
Let's just say we're here so that you may stop
her from profiting from stealing this man's sperm.
258
00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:42,940
What do you mean,she stole it?
259
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:44,510
I mean they did not have intercourse.
260
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,240
It was never his intent
to even have oral sex.
261
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:50,810
So let me tell you exactly how she
came into possession of his sperm.
262
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:52,370
I think I know.
263
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:53,650
How did she get pregnant?
264
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:56,820
She put the ill-gotten proceeds in
a test tube popped it in the fridge,
265
00:12:56,830 --> 00:13:00,220
a shower and gargle,and off to
the fertility clinic she went.
266
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:02,030
Okay.
267
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,970
I want you in that chair.
268
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:07,660
Your honor,it doesn't matter how
this pregnancy came to be.you can't--
269
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:09,150
it--it
matters to me.
270
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,770
Hold on,sir.
271
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:15,820
You... in that chair,after lunch.
272
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:17,720
We're adjourned.
273
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:25,720
Can you imagine?
274
00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:28,120
The judge is going to have a hearing.
275
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:30,670
Well...
276
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:32,440
well,what?
277
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:36,770
Well... well,shirley,what
if somebody stole your eggs?
278
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:37,710
How would you feel?
279
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,850
My eggs are on display at
the natural history museum.
280
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:41,150
Anybody can walk in and take them.
281
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,320
No,I know. I'm serious.
282
00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:43,640
This man was violated.
283
00:13:43,650 --> 00:13:44,840
Even so.
284
00:13:44,850 --> 00:13:46,940
A court-ordered abortion?
285
00:13:46,950 --> 00:13:51,010
Courts have terminated pregnancies
before,either for mentally handicapped women or--
286
00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:53,300
missy is not retarded.
287
00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:55,110
You had her tested?
288
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,610
carl,I'm-- I'm
surprised at you.
289
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:01,060
Well,you know what? I'm
surprised at you,shirley.
290
00:14:01,070 --> 00:14:02,760
Your fairness compass
is always spot-on.
291
00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:04,740
It's fritzing out here.
292
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:07,180
We're now having a fight.
293
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:09,960
Which you're losing,and
that bothers you.
294
00:14:09,970 --> 00:14:15,370
You actually believe a judge should be
able to order a woman to have an abortion?
295
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:19,770
I think they should be
loathe to do so,but yes.
296
00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:32,960
fine.
297
00:14:37,450 --> 00:14:39,160
You re looking for me?
298
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:40,360
Yes.
299
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:46,730
I was wondering if you could join
me after lunch for about an hour.
300
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,730
What have you got in mind?
301
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:51,720
Heartburn.
302
00:14:51,730 --> 00:14:53,220
I have a case.
303
00:14:53,230 --> 00:14:58,190
I could use a woman at the table to
preempt any charges of chauvinism since--
304
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,920
no,thank you.
305
00:14:58,930 --> 00:15:01,330
I know about your
case,alan. It's repugnant.
306
00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:03,940
And good luck trying to find
any woman to sit at your table.
307
00:15:03,950 --> 00:15:05,450
Strict.
308
00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:10,230
Lorraine,let's just put,uh,gender
politics aside for the moment and focus--
309
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,810
that's cute.Like leaving
biasut of prejudice.
310
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:16,200
I don't really think that can
be done,alan,not even by you.
311
00:15:16,210 --> 00:15:17,650
So sorry.
312
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,480
I hope you lose.
313
00:15:19,490 --> 00:15:20,730
Bye,denny.
314
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:26,500
I really don't get it.
315
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:31,450
I agree it's a woman's body,and
therefore her rights should take priority.
316
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:37,320
But what's the rationale that justifies
excising the man completely from the equation?
317
00:15:37,330 --> 00:15:38,960
They got us on this one,alan.
318
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:43,710
Until the supreme court fixes the problem--
and they're handpicked to do so--they got us.
319
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,620
Their rights,their body,period.
320
00:15:45,630 --> 00:15:47,220
And they have those,too.
321
00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:50,140
So it all evens out.
322
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:51,430
Denny crane.
323
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,430
You heard it here.
324
00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:07,630
I've always wanted to have a baby.
325
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,510
Of course,with the right man.
326
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,190
Terrence was right for me.
327
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,120
We fell in love so quickly.
328
00:16:13,130 --> 00:16:14,540
At least,I did.
329
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:16,050
After two dates?
330
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:17,980
Look at him. He's gorgeous!
331
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:21,640
The thought of having
beautiful,mocha-chocolata bambinos with him...
332
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:23,410
ooh,it brings a
flutter to my--
333
00:16:23,420 --> 00:16:24,930
missy!
334
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,940
what the hell was that?
335
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,960
my--my client's in a form of
music therapy to combat stress.
336
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Just one note is more than eugh.
337
00:16:36,570 --> 00:16:37,840
Music therapy?
338
00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:39,030
Yes,your honor.
339
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,840
I like to look at life as a big musical.
340
00:16:41,850 --> 00:16:45,210
The night I met
terrence,it was a musical.
341
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,820
can you te us about the
night that you conceived?
342
00:16:50,830 --> 00:16:53,460
Well,as I said,it was magical.
343
00:16:53,470 --> 00:16:55,130
We had gone to a club.
344
00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:57,810
We danced. We snuggled.We giggled.
345
00:16:57,820 --> 00:16:59,620
And after the club?
346
00:16:59,630 --> 00:17:05,420
We went back to my place,had some
wine,and we got romantic,at least I did.
347
00:17:05,790 --> 00:17:08,090
He looked at me,I looked at him.
348
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,460
and we both knew,at least I did.
349
00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:16,670
Have to believe we are magic
350
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,690
and you got pregnant at a fertility
clinic with terrence's sperm?
351
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:29,050
Yes,after our seminal moment together,I
put the goods in a little test tubey,
352
00:17:29,060 --> 00:17:31,820
took it the lab,and
they put it in the oven.
353
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:36,550
When it bakes,soon I'll
have my little obama baby.
354
00:17:36,990 --> 00:17:38,790
Thank you.
355
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,510
She's all yours.
356
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,790
I don't really want her.
357
00:17:44,050 --> 00:17:46,350
I suppose I'm obligeD.
358
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:48,020
- Missy.
- Hello.
359
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,950
You wish you and terrence
were together,don't you?
360
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,780
I do.
361
00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:53,120
But if you
can't have him--
362
00:17:53,130 --> 00:17:54,600
I'll have his baby.
363
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,980
have you thought for one second
how this would affect terrence?
364
00:18:02,990 --> 00:18:07,050
Well,I would hope he'd
be happy,for me,for us.
365
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:09,350
- And if he's not?
- Tough.
366
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,590
This may be a rhetorical
question,but let me ask it anyway.
367
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,270
Do you think you're fit
to be anybody's mother?
368
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,500
- Objection.
- Sustained.
369
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:21,400
No. I'd like to respond to that.
370
00:18:21,410 --> 00:18:25,080
Go ahead,without song.
371
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,900
I will be a good mother.
372
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,340
I'm sorry mr. Man
doesn't want this child.
373
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:37,020
That's too bad for m
it's too bad for the baby.
374
00:18:37,030 --> 00:18:39,560
And let's not forget,there
is a baby here.
375
00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:41,600
There's another life involved.
376
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:44,590
If you want to vilify
me,punish me,go ahead.
377
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,870
But do not punish this child.
378
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,490
It is grossly unfair to do
so with the death penalty.
379
00:18:57,780 --> 00:19:00,430
I feel like the big monster now.
380
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000
You're not a monster,mr. Maxwell.
381
00:19:03,290 --> 00:19:05,770
You're actually being quite heroic.
382
00:19:05,780 --> 00:19:10,360
You're giving voice to a male
ouage that's long overdue.
383
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,380
For women to be
able to just--
384
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,110
it's not just that.
385
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,020
It's the idea of that woman.
386
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:18,830
I mean,there's assimilation
and there's assimilation.
387
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,890
That woman should not be allowed to
parent a black child or a half-black child.
388
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:25,690
There,I said it.
389
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:27,420
Should I say it in court?
390
00:19:27,690 --> 00:19:30,520
Terrence,there's no real
advantage in you testifying,
391
00:19:30,530 --> 00:19:35,060
and I don't want to give them the opportunity
to portray you as someone other than who you are.
392
00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:37,500
So what now?
393
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:40,380
You give one of those
big,long speeches then?
394
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,850
yes.
395
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:45,220
I do that.
396
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,880
I think the judge liked
my singing. Don't you?
397
00:19:47,890 --> 00:19:49,290
- How could she not?
- Shirley.
398
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,710
Ah,carl,still alive. Well...
399
00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:54,030
that's mature.
400
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:58,440
Anything you say bounces
off me and sticks to you.
401
00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:03,580
Fighting?
402
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:04,890
We are.
403
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,980
Problem?
404
00:20:18,990 --> 00:20:21,310
Working on my closing.
405
00:20:21,770 --> 00:20:23,900
I may have to use the cigarette.
406
00:20:23,910 --> 00:20:24,630
Why?
407
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Well,this issue...
408
00:20:26,770 --> 00:20:27,870
hugging?
409
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,200
I'm finding it very
hard to get a rhythm.
410
00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:35,270
do you know...
411
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,720
my mother hugged me a
grand total of two times?
412
00:20:41,730 --> 00:20:42,980
One was by accident.
413
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:46,740
She thought I was choking and
performed the heimlich maneuver.
414
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:48,080
Did your father hug you?
415
00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:51,740
No. He believed in firm handshakes.
416
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:56,810
Which was pretty much a bust since I could
rarely convince my hand to leave my thigh.
417
00:20:58,070 --> 00:21:04,820
The first hug I ever got,truly,was
a couple years ago,from alan.
418
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,860
Really?
419
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,030
have you got another
one of those I cou use?
420
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,130
I have to close against alan shore.
421
00:21:16,140 --> 00:21:17,610
He's really good,isn't he?
422
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:19,070
The best I've ever seen.
423
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,160
Thank you for that.
424
00:21:20,170 --> 00:21:22,400
Katie,I've seen you in the courtroom.
425
00:21:22,410 --> 00:21:24,380
You don't need to be afraid of anybody.
426
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:26,400
Even alan shore?
427
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:28,910
Here's the thing with alan...
428
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:36,250
he likes to get dominion of the room
and keep opposing counsel off balance.
429
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:38,420
Just don't let him.
430
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:41,520
Also,when his case
wobbles-- and here it does--
431
00:21:41,530 --> 00:21:46,220
he tries to reframe the
issue into one that suits him.
432
00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:48,270
He's very clever that way.
433
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,540
Don't let him.
434
00:21:52,430 --> 00:21:53,330
Listen to me.
435
00:21:53,340 --> 00:21:55,890
I feel I'm being disloyal to him.
436
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:57,710
You're being very loyal to me.
437
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,470
I appreciate it.
438
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,900
Jerry,you are a dear,dear friend.
439
00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:07,990
leigh!
440
00:22:08,530 --> 00:22:09,400
Hello.
441
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:11,460
- Welcome.
- Welcome.Hello.
442
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,450
Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?
443
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:21,360
No,we're w-work friends,colleagues.
444
00:22:23,620 --> 00:22:25,190
Good-bye.
445
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Somebody still seems
a little smitten,jerry.
446
00:22:38,670 --> 00:22:41,140
This isn't the only school
with a no-hug policy.
447
00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:43,400
Many,many others are
doing the same thing.
448
00:22:43,410 --> 00:22:46,890
And it isn't just because
they're litigation averse.
449
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,660
It's for the chiren.
450
00:22:48,670 --> 00:22:49,880
The statistics don't lie.
451
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:55,070
Many of the worst and most far-reaching cases
of abuse happen at the hands of trusted adults,
452
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,050
be it a priest or a
teacher or a relative.
453
00:23:00,060 --> 00:23:01,430
Does this policy go too far?
454
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,050
I'm sure some would say it does.
455
00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:08,050
But on what side do we want to err here?
456
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:38,050
it's not just happening at schools.
457
00:23:38,060 --> 00:23:41,820
Many corporations and businesses
now forbid physical contact.
458
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:44,210
It cuts down on sexual
harassment lawsuits.
459
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:49,400
Perhaps with the continued evolution of
smartphones and mails and video conferencing,
460
00:23:49,410 --> 00:23:53,170
we'll find a way to keep people from
ever being in the same room together.
461
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:55,570
Won't that be wonderful?
462
00:23:55,580 --> 00:24:00,350
Years ago they did an experiment
with an orphaned baby monkey.
463
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:04,000
They gave it two
choices for a surrogate--
464
00:24:04,010 --> 00:24:08,100
one which could provide
milk,the other a hug.
465
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,110
The monkey chose the hug.
466
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:22,750
I'm sure we all saw this picture
in the newspapers a few months ago.
467
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,940
Yes,very sweet.
468
00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:30,400
But for my money,one case of
child abuse trumps a cute monkey.
469
00:24:30,590 --> 00:24:32,550
Yes,your honor.
470
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,350
I grew up... with...
471
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,730
various social disabilities.
472
00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:44,240
I had no friends.
473
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:49,080
I got a job that only
required I write memorandums.
474
00:24:49,090 --> 00:24:55,140
I lived,basically,a life
with no real human contact.
475
00:24:55,150 --> 00:24:58,410
My client is an objectophile.
476
00:24:58,420 --> 00:25:04,340
Both of us improved through
the kindness,compassion and yes,
477
00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:07,200
physical affection of others.
478
00:25:07,210 --> 00:25:10,400
The human touch cannot be quantified.
479
00:25:10,410 --> 00:25:13,560
It cannot be analyzed with statistics.
480
00:25:13,570 --> 00:25:16,910
We can't place a number
on it,but it is much,
481
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,940
much more than a doorway
to sexual molestation.
482
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:23,500
It's the best,the most direct,
483
00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:28,380
thmost lasting way of affirming
another person's humanity.
484
00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:32,950
Leigh swift was trying to comfort
a student who was suffering.
485
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,760
What policy can possibly justify
486
00:25:36,770 --> 00:25:39,530
firing her for that?
487
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:58,730
Six years ago...
488
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:01,860
isolation had brought me to the point...
489
00:26:01,870 --> 00:26:04,940
I considered taking my life.
490
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:10,270
I picked up the phone
and punched out 4-1-1,
491
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,470
so desperate was I to hear just
the sound of another person's voice.
492
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:22,110
I got some automated recording that
said,"what city and state,please?"
493
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:25,360
And I wept.
494
00:26:25,370 --> 00:26:29,750
We are living in such an increasingly
isolated world,your honor.
495
00:26:30,270 --> 00:26:32,480
We I.M.
496
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:37,710
And text message and have
virtual relationships online.
497
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,370
It gets lonelier and lonelier
498
00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:44,220
while teenage and adult
depression continues to rise.
499
00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:48,290
There are perhaps many
things we can do about it.
500
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:51,770
Banning the hug...
501
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:54,670
can't be one of them.
502
00:27:08,050 --> 00:27:13,590
The thing about women,carl,if you
reject their opinions,their principles,
503
00:27:13,910 --> 00:27:16,230
they feel you're rejecting
them,which is so wrong,
504
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,150
since with most relationships,we're
in it only for the sex.
505
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,190
Uh,you won't be getting any,by the
way,from shirley,unless you agree with her.
506
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,690
I don't know,denny.
507
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:29,710
Maybe shirley and i aren't
right for each other.
508
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:32,200
Don't go overreacting now.
509
00:27:32,210 --> 00:27:34,640
You ever wonder if all
relationships are finite?
510
00:27:34,650 --> 00:27:35,460
Of course they are.
511
00:27:35,470 --> 00:27:39,090
That's why we have kids,marriage
vows,onerous divorce laws--
512
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:41,670
all to make it too impossible
to leave once we know it's over.
513
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,610
We're a pro-marriage nation.
514
00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:46,940
That's very cynical,denny.
515
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:48,670
Would you marry shirley?
516
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,240
In a second. May I?
517
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:52,020
I think she would want a say.
518
00:27:52,030 --> 00:27:54,090
Yes,therein lies the problem.
519
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:56,550
Marriage,abortion,you name it...
520
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,380
we were much better off in the
old days,before women got a say.
521
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,480
Supreme court will get us back there.
522
00:28:02,490 --> 00:28:04,930
Just give 'em time.
523
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:14,340
all right,before we
begin,ms. Tiggs,no singing.
524
00:28:14,590 --> 00:28:20,130
If you so much as accidentally hit a note while
clearing your throat,I will rule in his favor.
525
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:22,060
- You got that?
- Yes,your honor.
526
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:25,380
All right,now,mr. Shore,you
can't stand before me
527
00:28:25,390 --> 00:28:29,720
and tell me you expect this court or any
court to order that a woman get an abortion.
528
00:28:29,730 --> 00:28:31,180
That's exactly what expect.
529
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:35,220
The idea is appalling to you because next to the
"n" word,only the "a" word is more controversial.
530
00:28:35,230 --> 00:28:39,680
Only the "a" word can stir up such
deep-seated passion,not of love,
531
00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:44,290
which one might hope for when thinking of life
and its conception,but rather of anger and rage.
532
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,230
In fact,there isn't any issue
in this country as combustible.
533
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,820
My advice here would be to not
think of it as the "a" word at all.
534
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:54,400
Let's just think of it as requiring this woman who
flagrantly and deliberately defrauded my client,
535
00:28:54,410 --> 00:28:56,730
requiring her to simply
take a pill,some medication.
536
00:28:56,740 --> 00:28:57,820
We do it all the time.
537
00:28:57,830 --> 00:29:00,490
We force medicate in psychiatric
hospitals,a place where,
538
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:02,350
ironically,this woman
should certainly be stuck.
539
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,420
Will you slow the hell down?
540
00:29:04,430 --> 00:29:07,040
Under the law,judge,there
is no life here.
541
00:29:07,050 --> 00:29:08,100
She's five weeks pregnant.
542
00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:10,660
At five weeks,there is no
life recognized by the law.
543
00:29:10,670 --> 00:29:11,700
Mr. Shore is incorrect.
544
00:29:11,710 --> 00:29:14,190
The relevant case law
goes only to viability.
545
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,880
It makes no determination
as to when human life begins.
546
00:29:16,890 --> 00:29:20,350
And whatever one's opinion may be on
abortion,we can't dispute that life,
547
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,570
however embryonic,originates
at conception.
548
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:26,670
But the only issue today is can the
court invade the autonomy of her body.
549
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,190
And I would say yes.
550
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,730
We're not talking about
an intrusive procedure.
551
00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:33,980
We're asking that she take a pill,a
little tablet,like an aspirin--the ru-486.
552
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:36,370
It's very effective,the side
effects are rare,and it's safe.
553
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:38,910
I can't speak as to when mr.
Shore had his last abortion,
554
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,130
but they are anything but a
breeze,even with the ru-486.
555
00:29:42,140 --> 00:29:46,140
It presents the same symptoms as a
miscarriage,including cramping,bleeding.
556
00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:49,710
It could take days or even weeks,and that's not
even accounting for the emotional aftereffects,
557
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,010
which could last a lifetime.
558
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:53,710
- This woman hijacked
my sperm. - Mr. Maxwell--
559
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,380
I love it when he calls me woman.
560
00:29:55,390 --> 00:29:57,320
I did not have intercourse
with her that night.
561
00:29:57,330 --> 00:29:57,940
Why?
562
00:29:57,950 --> 00:30:00,680
Because I did not want to run
the risk of getting her pregnant.
563
00:30:00,690 --> 00:30:03,220
I would submit that mr. Maxwell
has various legal remedies.
564
00:30:03,230 --> 00:30:06,490
He can sue her in a civil court for
damages,though she's not asking for child support--
565
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,350
oh,and now who's not accounting
for the emotional aftereffects?
566
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,810
Where is it written that,"hey,if he doesn't
have to contribute to the raising of the child,
567
00:30:12,820 --> 00:30:13,620
then it's no harm,no foul"?
568
00:30:13,630 --> 00:30:14,380
Mr.
Shore--
569
00:30:14,390 --> 00:30:17,270
it's my flesh and blood.My child.
570
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,220
And you want to kill it.
571
00:30:18,230 --> 00:30:19,970
All right.
572
00:30:19,980 --> 00:30:21,200
Tempers are
starting to flare--
573
00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:22,290
yes,they are,judge.
574
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:24,030
As I said,this is an angry topic.
575
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,340
And one of the reasons we're also
enraged is we never got a say.
576
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:29,460
The american public never
got a vote on abortion.
577
00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:32,350
It was decided by fiat--
nine men sitting on a court.
578
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,380
Why we don't put the issue on
a ballot completely escapes me.
579
00:30:35,390 --> 00:30:40,690
Especially since our judicial selection process has
now become so corrupted by the politics of abortion,
580
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:43,250
as our presidential and
congressional campaigns have.
581
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:45,280
But we the people,we don't get a vote.
582
00:30:45,290 --> 00:30:48,380
And it leaves us feeling
frustrated and angry,powerless.
583
00:30:48,390 --> 00:30:49,620
Can you imagine?
584
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:54,100
This issue that goes to the core of our
human values,and we don't get to weigh in?
585
00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:58,030
We have to sit back and watch a president
puppeteered by the religious right,
586
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,600
stacking the deck,in
the supreme court--
587
00:30:59,610 --> 00:31:00,540
you're getting off point.
588
00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:02,360
No,I'm very much on point.
589
00:31:02,370 --> 00:31:05,740
You take that sense of helplessness
and rage that the public feels,
590
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:09,610
multiply it times 1,000,and you
get a sense of what my client feels.
591
00:31:09,620 --> 00:31:12,680
Somebody would be having his
baby,and he doesn't even get a say?
592
00:31:12,690 --> 00:31:14,660
He wasn't careless or cavalier.
593
00:31:14,670 --> 00:31:16,690
He was tricked,deceived,defrauded,
594
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,650
and he has no rights here at all?
595
00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:21,680
He should be afforded all his rights
under the law,and under the law today,
596
00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:26,900
the court cannot and should not order a woman
to undergo an intrusive medical procedure.
597
00:31:26,910 --> 00:31:31,460
Can there be anything more medically,physically
and emotionally intrusive than an abortion?
598
00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:40,970
I'm sorry,but at the risk of
sounding very politically incorrect,
599
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:44,730
as much as we're all supportive
of multicultural families--
600
00:31:44,740 --> 00:31:48,710
it's become so fashionable to adopt exotic
babies from different lands and places--
601
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,640
but I'm sorry,that woman makes julie
andrews seem like a black panther.
602
00:31:52,650 --> 00:31:54,830
She has no conception of black culture.
603
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,230
This is wrong.
604
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,480
There,I said it. Everyone can
start writing their letters.
605
00:31:58,490 --> 00:32:01,800
Maybe the should be some kind of
a test one has to pass. But that...
606
00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:07,640
I've probably said enough.
607
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,520
Yes,you have.
608
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,970
Any word?
609
00:32:23,980 --> 00:32:28,390
No,but she promised to rule
by the end of the day,so...
610
00:32:29,230 --> 00:32:31,430
terrence...
611
00:32:32,390 --> 00:32:34,470
suppose we do win?
612
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,210
You can certainly expect a
whole lot more of all this.
613
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:40,830
The appeals court,the state
supreme court,the supreme court--
614
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,970
by that time,she'll have had the baby.
615
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,090
Are you prepared to
push this all the way?
616
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,800
Maybe not.
617
00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:54,870
Even if we win,I mean,I don't
know if I can make her terminate.
618
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,720
Then why?
619
00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:58,110
I don't know. Maybe empowermenT.
620
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,620
Maybe...
621
00:32:59,630 --> 00:33:02,520
I just want it to be my choice,too.
622
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,660
that crazy?
623
00:33:07,230 --> 00:33:09,750
It isn't crazy at all.
624
00:33:14,740 --> 00:33:18,840
Nobody said "all rise," but. Okay.
625
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,670
I agree completely with mr. Espenson.
626
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,940
To ban a simple hug seems way
too far-reaching,if not draconian.
627
00:33:29,950 --> 00:33:33,910
I'm mindful,however,that we
have thousands and thousands
628
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,620
of unlawful sexual touchings
on school campuses every year,
629
00:33:37,630 --> 00:33:40,030
committed by both teachers and students.
630
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,970
It's a tough call.
631
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:44,790
What tips it for me are
the facts of this case.
632
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:50,700
The plaintiff suffers from
objectophilia,a diagnosed sexual disorder.
633
00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:56,210
Add to that she had been warned on prior
occasions not to touch the students.
634
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,820
Judgment for the defendant.
635
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:02,550
Poop! Withdrawn.
636
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,560
We're adjourned.
637
00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:08,900
I'm sorry,leigh.
638
00:34:08,910 --> 00:34:10,400
Me,too.
639
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,150
Thank you so much for trying,jerry.
640
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,250
You fought very valiantly.
641
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:19,500
I'm sorry we didn't get a good result.
642
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:21,360
Yes.
643
00:34:23,410 --> 00:34:25,270
Speaking of trying...
644
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,410
would you like to give us a try again?
645
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,580
I don't know. I...
646
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:42,110
I don't think I can compete with an
iphone. I don't know that any man could.
647
00:34:43,460 --> 00:34:48,170
My therapist thinks I'm gravitating
to things because they can't dump me.
648
00:34:48,180 --> 00:34:50,600
I got scared with you,jerry.
649
00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:56,530
I suppose I want safety in a
relationship,but I realize nobody gets that.
650
00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:59,800
I don't know what to say.
651
00:34:59,810 --> 00:35:01,570
How about yes?
652
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,340
how about we just hug
and see how it feels?
653
00:35:39,030 --> 00:35:44,980
If you ask me,we've seen a great evolution
in fatherhood over the last 20,30 years.
654
00:35:45,390 --> 00:35:49,640
We now have stay-at-home dads,fathers
who are the primary caregivers.
655
00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:53,000
Pretty damn good progress
from my perspective.
656
00:35:53,010 --> 00:35:58,240
When it comes to a father's legal
rights,however,the law has stayed stagnant.
657
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:02,060
Ms. Tiggs...
658
00:36:02,070 --> 00:36:05,620
your behavior here is disgusting.
659
00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:09,620
You knew this man did not want
to father a child with you.
660
00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:14,290
You performed a sex act on him to
come in possession of his sperm.
661
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:17,570
You used that sperm
to impregnate yourself.
662
00:36:17,580 --> 00:36:21,630
If the law permitted,I would
have you thrown in jail.
663
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:27,320
But I end exactly where I began.
664
00:36:27,330 --> 00:36:31,800
No court,including this one,is
going to order an abortion.
665
00:36:32,130 --> 00:36:38,470
Mr. Maxwell,your damages here,if
any,would be legal,not equitable.
666
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:42,230
Motion denied. We're adjourned.
667
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:45,950
- Well,we tried.
- Yeah.
668
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,840
Thanks,mr. Shore.
669
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:50,610
Thank you,shirley,katie.
670
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:53,340
I'm going to be a mom.
671
00:36:53,350 --> 00:36:55,730
And I'll... bet a wonderful one at that.
672
00:36:55,740 --> 00:36:59,130
Well,best of luck,missy.
Let's get out of here.
673
00:37:03,590 --> 00:37:05,710
I gotta be involved.
674
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:08,690
If I'm gonna be a father,then
I'm gonna be a father.
675
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:09,810
I'd like that.
676
00:37:09,820 --> 00:37:12,310
Not about you.
677
00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:15,700
Terrence.
678
00:37:16,970 --> 00:37:19,620
Maybe you and i could give it a go.
679
00:37:19,630 --> 00:37:21,600
I really,really like you.
680
00:37:21,610 --> 00:37:26,440
It's not every day I meet a truly noble
person who makes my genitalia flutter.
681
00:37:28,260 --> 00:37:30,980
I can't be with you,missy.
682
00:37:30,990 --> 00:37:34,970
We'll work out this parenting
thing,but I can't be with you.
683
00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:39,310
Okay.
684
00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:49,150
A place where nobody dared to go
685
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,820
the love that we came to know
686
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,020
bye,missy.
687
00:37:57,450 --> 00:38:01,620
They call it xanadu
688
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:10,410
and now open your eyes and see
689
00:38:12,110 --> 00:38:15,260
what we have made is real
690
00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:19,650
we call it xanadu
691
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:28,350
so katie kicked your ass.
692
00:38:29,630 --> 00:38:31,610
let me tell you something
about this katie lloyd.
693
00:38:31,620 --> 00:38:33,640
She is going to be some lawyer.
694
00:38:33,650 --> 00:38:37,490
For her to be this good already,just
out of law school,it's scary.
695
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:40,050
How far women have come.
696
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:42,560
They used to be objects we
jt wanted to have sex with.
697
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:47,460
Now they're intelligent,autonomous,powerful
things we just want to have sex with.
698
00:38:47,470 --> 00:38:49,780
We may even have a
woman as president,denny.
699
00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:53,810
I had a dream about her as
president-- hillary,you know.
700
00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:55,530
Tell me.
701
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:57,860
She invited me into the oval office.
702
00:38:57,870 --> 00:39:00,210
We had tea,discussed politics,then...
703
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:01,760
we got right down to it.
704
00:39:01,770 --> 00:39:04,320
She was fantastic.
705
00:39:04,330 --> 00:39:05,770
You had a hillary sex dream?
706
00:39:05,780 --> 00:39:11,550
Oh,she is so hot,alan,in a
dominatrix-praying-mantis sort of way.
707
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:15,990
I'd like to have one night
alone with that tramp.
708
00:39:18,970 --> 00:39:20,530
What?
709
00:39:20,990 --> 00:39:23,750
You have been cranky this week.
710
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,840
Is everything okay?
711
00:39:24,850 --> 00:39:25,500
Fine.
712
00:39:25,510 --> 00:39:26,180
Something's wrong.
713
00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:28,380
Nothing's wrong.
714
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:30,030
Fine.
715
00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:39,840
my sophomore year in college,I
got my girlfriend pregnant.
716
00:39:39,850 --> 00:39:44,320
She came to me,told me,and
then proceeded to say,
717
00:39:44,330 --> 00:39:47,170
"don't worry,I've
alrea taken care of it."
718
00:39:47,180 --> 00:39:49,460
It was done. It had already been done.
719
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:55,390
And I alized that she had
probably been scared and...
720
00:39:56,310 --> 00:40:00,770
confused,but I felt
completely invisible,
721
00:40:00,780 --> 00:40:03,660
as if I had no ability to express
722
00:40:03,670 --> 00:40:07,720
love,care,support.
723
00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:12,210
But for me to have no
voice,as if I had no opinion...
724
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:16,960
when it would have been my child,too...
725
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:20,010
such prejudice against men.
726
00:40:20,020 --> 00:40:25,100
The issue is always about forcing us to
take responsibility,never about our rights.
727
00:40:25,110 --> 00:40:28,770
there's a conversation men could
have with women before having sex.
728
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:30,790
Perhaps an understanding
should be reached before--
729
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,610
no,it's hard enough
to get the condom on.
730
00:40:33,620 --> 00:40:36,010
now you want to add
conversation to the mix?
731
00:40:39,060 --> 00:40:44,030
How many times have you had that
problem taken care of with women?
732
00:40:46,210 --> 00:40:47,480
I don't know.
733
00:40:47,490 --> 00:40:50,720
On the one hand,I want
to perpetuate the species.
734
00:40:50,730 --> 00:40:52,670
I am,after all,denny crane.
735
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,670
On the other hand,imagine the world-- kids
running around with mad calves disease.
736
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,620
I shudder.
737
00:41:00,860 --> 00:41:03,900
don't you want to be
a father someday,alan?
738
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,720
I don't know.
739
00:41:07,540 --> 00:41:08,800
It'll happen.
740
00:41:08,810 --> 00:41:11,010
Can I be godfather?
741
00:41:11,020 --> 00:41:12,840
He'll need somebody to
tell him about women.
742
00:41:12,850 --> 00:41:15,370
He can't have that discussion with dad.
743
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:18,050
You still want that son,don't you?
744
00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:22,890
take him fishing,teach
him to drive a stick.
745
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:26,940
When he gets older,he can introduce me
to some of his girlfriends. It's all good.
746
00:41:28,820 --> 00:41:31,620
People say having a family...
747
00:41:31,930 --> 00:41:33,890
that it's everything.
748
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:36,530
Are we missing out,denny?
749
00:41:37,740 --> 00:41:41,160
Well,I feel I have a
family of sorts here.
750
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,400
I don't think it's the same.
751
00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:45,280
I've got you.
752
00:41:45,580 --> 00:41:47,310
You've got me.
753
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,500
And I feel blessed.
754
00:41:51,810 --> 00:41:53,970
How many people have that?
755
00:41:53,980 --> 00:41:55,270
Not enough.
