1
00:00:01,295 --> 00:00:02,202
<i></i>

2
00:00:02,373 --> 00:00:06,412
Did you know that Shirley Schmidt
has a cheerleading costume?

3
00:00:06,573 --> 00:00:09,041
- Sometimes she puts it on.
- Complete with pom-poms.

4
00:00:09,213 --> 00:00:12,523
I would dress up and stand in front
of the mirror in the little skirt...

5
00:00:12,693 --> 00:00:15,651
...the white socks, the sweater.
It somehow made me feel better.

6
00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:18,168
Can you imagine Shirley doing
a little cheer?

7
00:00:18,333 --> 00:00:19,527
Oh, my God.

8
00:00:19,693 --> 00:00:22,685
- Denny, I got in. I'm in the Coast Guard!
- What? Am I in?

9
00:00:22,853 --> 00:00:24,923
I don't know. Did you get a letter?

10
00:00:25,093 --> 00:00:27,653
- I'm in!
- Ah!

11
00:00:27,813 --> 00:00:30,452
- We're in the Coast Guard!
- We're in the Coast Guard!

12
00:00:50,613 --> 00:00:52,604
Twenty degrees starboard.
- Left or right?

13
00:00:52,773 --> 00:00:55,287
- I mean port. Go port.
- Hey, I'm the captain.

14
00:00:55,453 --> 00:00:57,967
Will you be quiet?
It's right in front of us.

15
00:00:58,133 --> 00:00:59,885
Jeez.

16
00:01:08,053 --> 00:01:10,408
<i>United States
Coast Guard, coming aboard.</i>

17
00:01:10,573 --> 00:01:12,484
<i>Nobody move.</i>

18
00:01:12,653 --> 00:01:15,087
<i>You're all persons of interest.</i>

19
00:01:19,653 --> 00:01:22,008
- Who is in charge of this event?
- I am.

20
00:01:22,173 --> 00:01:24,050
- Do you have a permit, ma'am?
- For what?

21
00:01:24,213 --> 00:01:27,046
Right to assemble at sea
is strictly forbidden...

22
00:01:27,213 --> 00:01:29,932
...without written authorization
from the Coast Guard.

23
00:01:30,093 --> 00:01:32,653
- What?
- Sorry, ma'am. We're in a war.

24
00:01:32,813 --> 00:01:36,567
But, lucky for you,
and perhaps me later...

25
00:01:36,733 --> 00:01:38,724
...I am the Coast Guard.

26
00:01:42,493 --> 00:01:44,085
I'm gonna let it go this one time.

27
00:01:44,253 --> 00:01:48,041
But I'm going to make a thorough
inspection of your floatation devices.

28
00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:50,408
- Brand new.
- Well done.

29
00:01:50,573 --> 00:01:52,325
Okay, Denny, the situation is...

30
00:01:55,253 --> 00:01:58,802
How did you possibly get out
of your clothes so fast?

31
00:01:58,973 --> 00:02:00,531
<i>Semper paratus, my friend.</i>

32
00:02:00,693 --> 00:02:03,651
Always prepared. Coast Guard motto.

33
00:02:04,413 --> 00:02:06,847
And so it begins.

34
00:02:54,693 --> 00:02:55,967
Bethany.

35
00:02:56,133 --> 00:03:00,365
For the past seven years, I've basically
had one case that's consumed me.

36
00:03:00,533 --> 00:03:03,286
It's against AB Curtis,
the tobacco company.

37
00:03:03,453 --> 00:03:04,772
And how's the family?

38
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:07,163
These people have dragged me
through discovery...

39
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:09,927
...they've exhausted my client's money,
my money.

40
00:03:10,093 --> 00:03:12,243
They practically killed
my client's doctor.

41
00:03:12,413 --> 00:03:14,369
He's dead, Alan.

42
00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:17,491
- He was a smoker?
- No, but he was in his 70s.

43
00:03:17,653 --> 00:03:21,202
They deposed him 13 times.
He died over the weekend...

44
00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:24,524
...as we were about to go to trial.
No doubt from the stress of it.

45
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:28,003
Now I don't have doctor to testify.
I'll have to get a continuance...

46
00:03:28,173 --> 00:03:30,687
...which they'll then turn into
10 more continuances...

47
00:03:30,853 --> 00:03:34,846
...while they depose my new doctor
13 more times. I can't do it.

48
00:03:35,013 --> 00:03:36,685
I'm licked.

49
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:40,245
Nobody successfully sues
a tobacco company.

50
00:03:40,413 --> 00:03:42,973
Even if you beat them at trial,
they just appeal.

51
00:03:43,133 --> 00:03:45,601
Law firms go bankrupt
trying to climb that hill.

52
00:03:45,773 --> 00:03:48,924
Oh, you know how I feel about money,
especially when it's yours.

53
00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:51,084
I must say I echo Shirley's sentiment.
I do.

54
00:03:51,253 --> 00:03:53,528
Tobacco companies specialize
in two things:

55
00:03:53,693 --> 00:03:55,411
Getting people addicted
to cigarettes.

56
00:03:55,573 --> 00:03:57,882
Prolonging and protracting
pretrial litigation.

57
00:03:58,053 --> 00:04:01,443
They simply make cases too
burdensome, even for big firms like us.

58
00:04:01,613 --> 00:04:04,332
Certainly more than could be handled
by your average dwarf.

59
00:04:04,853 --> 00:04:06,809
I am against taking on
the tobacco company.

60
00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:10,283
And the firm absolutely forbids you
from taking it.

61
00:04:10,453 --> 00:04:13,604
Katie, Jerry, give Alan
whatever help he needs.

62
00:04:14,293 --> 00:04:16,011
- Best of luck.
- Thank you.

63
00:04:17,653 --> 00:04:20,451
Denny, I could also use your help
if you're up for joining.

64
00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:22,888
Yeah, whatever.

65
00:04:27,453 --> 00:04:29,728
Mr. Crane!
Mr. Shore!

66
00:04:29,893 --> 00:04:32,282
No comment. Nothing to say.

67
00:04:32,453 --> 00:04:34,808
Step aside, please. No comment.

68
00:04:34,973 --> 00:04:39,205
Lawyer coming through.
Handicapped. Out of my way.

69
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:53,012
Phoebe?

70
00:04:53,173 --> 00:04:54,731
Alan?

71
00:04:56,973 --> 00:05:00,124
- Are you joining as cocounsel?
Yes.

72
00:05:00,733 --> 00:05:02,325
Excellent.

73
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:09,245
Still married with...?
What is it they're called?

74
00:05:10,173 --> 00:05:11,891
- Children.
- Right.

75
00:05:12,053 --> 00:05:14,089
All rise.

76
00:05:14,253 --> 00:05:16,608
32463, in the matter of...

77
00:05:16,773 --> 00:05:20,846
<i>...the Estate of Michael Rhodes
v. AB Curtis Tobacco Corporation.</i>

78
00:05:21,013 --> 00:05:23,732
The complainant alleging
the civil cause of wrongful death.

79
00:05:23,893 --> 00:05:27,647
This court is now in session.
The Honorable Milton Brody presiding.

80
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:30,130
Be seated.

81
00:05:30,973 --> 00:05:33,533
Okay. Both sides stand ready?

82
00:05:33,693 --> 00:05:36,924
Well, actually, Your Honor, the defense
would be requesting more time.

83
00:05:37,093 --> 00:05:39,288
The plaintiff has added a witness
to its list...

84
00:05:39,453 --> 00:05:42,251
...whom we've not had the opportunity
to depose. Therefore...

85
00:05:42,413 --> 00:05:46,372
The witness is a doctor who will
only be testifying as to cause of death.

86
00:05:46,533 --> 00:05:50,412
We are forced to call him because
the doctor we had planned to call...

87
00:05:50,573 --> 00:05:52,962
...who has been called
again and again and again...

88
00:05:53,133 --> 00:05:55,601
...died this past weekend
after being deposed...

89
00:05:55,773 --> 00:06:00,722
...harassed and intimidated relentlessly
for the last seven of his 77 years.

90
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:03,202
The fact is my...

91
00:06:03,373 --> 00:06:08,925
The defense has employed a plethora
of tactics to delay and delay and delay.

92
00:06:09,093 --> 00:06:11,687
I'm curious. Do you have any ideas
that speed things up?

93
00:06:11,853 --> 00:06:15,323
Well, surrender works quite well. I know
how you love to wave a white flag.

94
00:06:15,493 --> 00:06:18,087
Objection.
- All right, all right.

95
00:06:18,253 --> 00:06:20,130
Miss Prentice, I will give you a night.

96
00:06:20,293 --> 00:06:23,808
One night to review the new witnesses
added to the plaintiff's list.

97
00:06:24,253 --> 00:06:27,689
We will begin at 10 a. m. Tomorrow.
Adjourned.

98
00:06:32,093 --> 00:06:33,492
You know...

99
00:06:45,093 --> 00:06:48,290
Once the cancer had metastasized,
it became about managing his pain...

100
00:06:48,453 --> 00:06:50,887
...which was extreme.

101
00:06:51,053 --> 00:06:53,009
Mr. Rhodes told you
that he chose to smoke.

102
00:06:53,173 --> 00:06:56,529
- Am I right, doctor?
- Why? Does that make it hurt less?

103
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:58,812
I'd like to know.

104
00:06:58,973 --> 00:07:00,691
May I continue?

105
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:02,491
Please.

106
00:07:02,853 --> 00:07:06,368
There are other cancer-causing agents
that Mr. Rhodes was exposed to, right?

107
00:07:06,533 --> 00:07:10,492
I'm sorry. Is that going to be
your strategy? Something else killed him?

108
00:07:10,653 --> 00:07:13,121
We can suspend this now, Alan,
and go see the judge...

109
00:07:13,293 --> 00:07:15,887
...if this is too much for you.
- Don't flatter yourself.

110
00:07:16,053 --> 00:07:18,203
I wasn't talking about me.
Funny that you are.

111
00:07:18,373 --> 00:07:21,092
Something on your heart
you'd like to share with the group?

112
00:07:21,253 --> 00:07:23,130
I'm sorry. I meant to say
"on your mind. "

113
00:07:23,293 --> 00:07:26,729
Stop it. You two can get a room
after the trial.

114
00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:32,326
Was an autopsy ever performed,
doctor?

115
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:35,166
Oh, we didn't need an autopsy
to know what killed him.

116
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:37,289
- No autopsy.
- Are you kidding?

117
00:07:38,493 --> 00:07:41,405
- Miss Rhodes...
- My father smoked for 50 years.

118
00:07:41,573 --> 00:07:42,767
He died of lung cancer.

119
00:07:42,933 --> 00:07:45,163
- Do you really mean to suggest...?
- I need to...

120
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:47,927
Have you ever watched a person
rot to death?

121
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:52,405
Alan, maybe you can contain your
client's emotions, if not your own.

122
00:07:53,693 --> 00:07:54,887
What happened to you?

123
00:07:56,933 --> 00:07:58,730
All right, I'm done.

124
00:07:59,693 --> 00:08:02,571
If you march into that courtroom
and ask for a continuance...

125
00:08:02,733 --> 00:08:05,566
No. I got what I need. Did you?

126
00:08:08,093 --> 00:08:09,606
Thank you.

127
00:08:17,813 --> 00:08:20,691
- Is that how you plan to try this case?
- Don't start with me.

128
00:08:20,853 --> 00:08:23,925
Do you have any idea how many people
die every day from cigarettes?

129
00:08:24,093 --> 00:08:27,722
Oh, please. What else is new?
Tobacco kills. Big deal.

130
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:30,927
- Did you just say "big deal"?
- Well, it's old news.

131
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,732
First of all, it's not old news,
it's absolutely current.

132
00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:36,009
The tobacco industry
is more powerful today...

133
00:08:36,173 --> 00:08:38,971
It's boring.

134
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:42,567
Have we all been desensitized?
Smoking kills. Whatever.

135
00:08:42,733 --> 00:08:44,849
We've all just gone numb.

136
00:08:47,333 --> 00:08:49,244
Why'd you say that?

137
00:08:49,773 --> 00:08:51,968
Who told you I went numb?

138
00:08:52,173 --> 00:08:55,051
- Who said that?
- What are you talking about?

139
00:08:55,213 --> 00:08:57,124
You damn well...

140
00:08:57,733 --> 00:08:59,052
Did she call you?

141
00:08:59,213 --> 00:09:02,364
Denny, I have no idea what the hell
you're talking about.

142
00:09:02,533 --> 00:09:04,808
So why don't you tell me?

143
00:09:05,013 --> 00:09:08,289
You have been in a bad mood all day.
What is up?

144
00:09:08,453 --> 00:09:11,570
Nothing's up. That's the problem.

145
00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:15,411
- My junk doesn't work.
- I beg your pardon?

146
00:09:15,573 --> 00:09:20,089
I went back to the captain's quarters
with one of the girls from the hot tub.

147
00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:22,768
- My junk failed me.
- Oh.

148
00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:26,089
- I'm done, Alan. Dead.
- Denny...

149
00:09:26,253 --> 00:09:27,402
I wish I were dead.

150
00:09:27,573 --> 00:09:30,531
I'd have made a better showing
with rigor mortis.

151
00:09:30,693 --> 00:09:34,447
- Dead, done, it's over.
- Denny, it happens to every guy.

152
00:09:34,613 --> 00:09:37,207
- Has it happened to you?
- Once.

153
00:09:37,453 --> 00:09:38,852
Shh.

154
00:09:39,013 --> 00:09:41,208
Hello.
- Hello.

155
00:09:42,133 --> 00:09:45,808
- How'd the deposition go?
- Fine. Why?

156
00:09:45,973 --> 00:09:48,009
There are rumors
you were horrendous.

157
00:09:48,173 --> 00:09:52,610
Alan, I'm happy to support
your latest tilt at the windmill.

158
00:09:52,773 --> 00:09:56,607
But we know one never really beats
the tobacco industry, right?

159
00:09:56,773 --> 00:09:58,923
And if opportunity for settlement
does come...

160
00:09:59,093 --> 00:10:01,368
...we will take it, won't we?

161
00:10:01,533 --> 00:10:03,364
It's receded.

162
00:10:03,973 --> 00:10:07,761
Like a turtle too ashamed
to come out of its shell.

163
00:10:12,653 --> 00:10:14,211
What?

164
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:24,203
Shirley, could I steal you for a second?

165
00:10:24,373 --> 00:10:26,284
It's about my penis.

166
00:10:28,213 --> 00:10:30,727
- It's depressed.
- I don't want to involve you but...

167
00:10:30,893 --> 00:10:34,408
- Don't even go there.
- Okay. Okay.

168
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:37,727
Would you at least put on
the cheerleader costume for me?

169
00:10:37,893 --> 00:10:40,361
- Because...
- Sorry. Have you tried jumper cables?

170
00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:42,410
You think this is funny?

171
00:10:43,613 --> 00:10:46,650
Okay. Would you loan me
the cheerleading costume?

172
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,725
- Denny...
- Give me a hand here, will you, Carl?

173
00:10:58,973 --> 00:11:00,964
- Two witnesses total?
- Bethany...

174
00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:03,647
I've spent seven years preparing
more than 50 experts.

175
00:11:03,813 --> 00:11:06,964
Bethany, if we let this turn
into a science class...

176
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,693
We have to prove addiction.
We have to show that...

177
00:11:09,853 --> 00:11:11,969
You asked me to try this case,
so let me...

178
00:11:12,133 --> 00:11:14,442
- Two?
- I want to rest as close as I can...

179
00:11:14,613 --> 00:11:17,764
...to the emotion
of the client's testim...

180
00:11:18,773 --> 00:11:20,764
- Where'd she go?
- She left.

181
00:11:20,933 --> 00:11:23,891
I must say, Alan,
two witnesses seems a bit bonkers.

182
00:11:24,053 --> 00:11:25,566
I hope you haven't gone mad.

183
00:11:27,173 --> 00:11:30,563
Katie, one problem we have
concerning trust.

184
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:33,327
You and I haven't really
had a life together yet.

185
00:11:34,733 --> 00:11:39,363
Still harassing the younger associates?
So nice to see you haven't changed.

186
00:11:43,813 --> 00:11:45,041
Why are you here?

187
00:11:46,173 --> 00:11:48,812
Well, I come in peace.

188
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:50,925
A hundred and forty thousand.

189
00:11:51,093 --> 00:11:52,845
- For a death?
- It's all we're offering.

190
00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:56,164
It's all you could hope to get
since we'll appeal any verdict.

191
00:11:56,333 --> 00:11:59,723
And why drag this out beyond a time
we're still attracted to each other.

192
00:12:02,533 --> 00:12:04,569
I'm not attracted to you now.

193
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:07,372
Fine. Let's go with that.

194
00:12:09,573 --> 00:12:12,292
When I knew him, he was mad,
by the way.

195
00:12:13,173 --> 00:12:15,129
I think I'll be going.

196
00:12:18,293 --> 00:12:22,445
I have done hundreds of these cases
and they all come out the same way.

197
00:12:22,613 --> 00:12:25,923
So why stress yourself, Alan?
It's not healthy.

198
00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:28,732
You'd be better off taking up smoking.

199
00:12:31,573 --> 00:12:34,133
You know, the thing is, Phoebe.
You look the same.

200
00:12:34,293 --> 00:12:36,761
You smell the same.

201
00:12:37,093 --> 00:12:38,287
Mm.

202
00:12:38,693 --> 00:12:41,161
My, you even taste the same.

203
00:12:42,773 --> 00:12:45,651
But we both know you've changed,
don't we?

204
00:12:46,853 --> 00:12:48,332
I mean, when we were together...

205
00:12:48,493 --> 00:12:53,248
...the very idea of either of us
doing battle for big tobacco...

206
00:12:53,413 --> 00:12:57,008
...an industry which
systematically kills people...

207
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:02,571
I hope they give you a lot of money,
because then...

208
00:13:02,733 --> 00:13:04,769
...of course it would be worth it.

209
00:13:05,533 --> 00:13:09,765
And here you are
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

210
00:13:09,933 --> 00:13:11,685
I don't need to apologize for myself.

211
00:13:11,853 --> 00:13:14,572
No, not when it's easier
to just walk out the door.

212
00:13:14,733 --> 00:13:16,963
- I didn't walk...
- Yes, you did.

213
00:13:17,653 --> 00:13:20,042
Yes, you did.

214
00:13:22,653 --> 00:13:24,132
You know what?

215
00:13:24,733 --> 00:13:27,452
I think that you have changed, Alan.

216
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:30,248
Your eyes look deadened.

217
00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:35,682
They say that a man's passion
is the first thing to die as he ages.

218
00:13:35,853 --> 00:13:38,970
So I suppose that should make it easier
for me to be around you...

219
00:13:39,133 --> 00:13:42,364
...because it was your passion
that I so fell in love with.

220
00:13:54,613 --> 00:13:56,365
Your offer is rejected.

221
00:14:03,013 --> 00:14:05,163
So you can leave now.

222
00:14:06,533 --> 00:14:08,171
Okay, Alan.

223
00:14:11,693 --> 00:14:13,570
We'll be seeing you, then.

224
00:14:31,933 --> 00:14:33,651
They're here.

225
00:14:39,853 --> 00:14:42,287
He first started smoking cigarettes
when he was 11.

226
00:14:42,453 --> 00:14:45,411
- He smoked the defendant's brand?
- Mainly that brand, yes.

227
00:14:45,573 --> 00:14:48,087
And your father smoked cigarettes
for how long?

228
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,483
- Over 50 years.
- Maureen, at some point...

229
00:14:50,653 --> 00:14:54,089
...your father certainly had to know
that smoking causes cancer.

230
00:14:54,253 --> 00:14:56,369
He tried to quit so many times.

231
00:14:56,533 --> 00:14:58,842
He was desperate to quit,
but he was addicted.

232
00:14:59,013 --> 00:15:02,164
Sometimes he could go months without
but he'd always start up again.

233
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:04,801
<i>- He just couldn't...
Oh, baby.</i>

234
00:15:04,973 --> 00:15:09,171
<i>Oh, that feels so good. Don't stop.</i>

235
00:15:12,693 --> 00:15:14,206
- Hello?
- Denny.

236
00:15:14,373 --> 00:15:17,331
- It's my doctor.
- I don't care.

237
00:15:17,933 --> 00:15:21,482
- I did that but it still doesn't work.
- Get off the phone now.

238
00:15:21,973 --> 00:15:24,089
I gotta get off the phone now.

239
00:15:25,613 --> 00:15:27,171
What?

240
00:15:28,493 --> 00:15:30,370
I'm sorry.

241
00:15:32,373 --> 00:15:35,331
And, at some point,
your father did get lung cancer?

242
00:15:35,493 --> 00:15:37,324
Eleven years ago.

243
00:15:37,493 --> 00:15:40,769
He fought it.
He had one lung removed.

244
00:15:40,933 --> 00:15:43,288
He did everything that...

245
00:15:44,373 --> 00:15:48,082
But eventually it went to his brain.

246
00:15:49,013 --> 00:15:54,246
In the end, it was a miserable,
excruciating death.

247
00:15:55,373 --> 00:16:00,493
Maureen, in fairness, the dangers
of smoking have been well known...

248
00:16:00,653 --> 00:16:03,963
...for some time, by everybody,
including your father.

249
00:16:04,133 --> 00:16:06,408
That fact only made it worse.

250
00:16:06,573 --> 00:16:12,205
I had to watch my father do something
over and over, all day, every day...

251
00:16:12,373 --> 00:16:15,012
...that he knew
would eventually kill him...

252
00:16:15,173 --> 00:16:18,006
...and he just couldn't stop.
He was addicted.

253
00:16:18,173 --> 00:16:20,607
Since childhood, terribly addicted.

254
00:16:20,773 --> 00:16:23,446
You don't keep doing that to yourself
for no reason.

255
00:16:23,613 --> 00:16:25,922
You do it because
you physically can't stop.

256
00:16:26,093 --> 00:16:28,527
She has no foundation
to give medical or sci...

257
00:16:28,693 --> 00:16:31,082
He was my father.

258
00:16:31,253 --> 00:16:32,732
That's my foundation.

259
00:16:42,693 --> 00:16:44,729
It wasn't just physical.

260
00:16:45,093 --> 00:16:47,004
He suffered the shame
of being an addict.

261
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,243
And even if
you're heartless enough to think:

262
00:16:49,413 --> 00:16:52,530
"Well, he signed on for this,"
I never signed up for it.

263
00:16:53,093 --> 00:16:55,243
I'm sorry if I sound selfish,
but I never said:

264
00:16:55,413 --> 00:16:58,007
"Sure, I'll watch my father go through
that agony. "

265
00:16:58,173 --> 00:17:01,643
My children never agreed
they'd lose their grandpa the way...

266
00:17:04,093 --> 00:17:06,402
There was so much pain.

267
00:17:06,973 --> 00:17:10,409
So much pain to so many people
who had never signed up for it.

268
00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:16,410
First, let me say how sorry I am
for your loss.

269
00:17:16,573 --> 00:17:19,406
Losing a family member to cancer is...

270
00:17:19,573 --> 00:17:22,212
- Is this the first time?
- No, actually...

271
00:17:22,373 --> 00:17:24,933
- So cancer runs in your family?
Objection.

272
00:17:25,093 --> 00:17:27,653
There has been a recent medical study
that found...

273
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:32,170
...there is a common genetic variant that
actually doubles the risk of lung cancer.

274
00:17:32,333 --> 00:17:33,652
It can run in the family.

275
00:17:33,813 --> 00:17:36,691
Oh, yes, it was just a big coincidence
that he smoked.

276
00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:40,693
Was your father ever tested
for this genetic variant?

277
00:17:40,853 --> 00:17:43,003
- No.
- I understand that your father worker...

278
00:17:43,173 --> 00:17:45,528
...in a paper mill, which since...
- Are you kidding?

279
00:17:45,693 --> 00:17:47,524
<i>- Mr. Shore.
Oh, baby.</i>

280
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:50,408
<i>Oh, that feels so good.</i>

281
00:17:50,573 --> 00:17:51,801
<i>Don't stop.</i>

282
00:17:59,893 --> 00:18:02,282
Miss Rhodes, how many houses...

283
00:18:02,453 --> 00:18:05,286
...do you think your father lived in
during his lifetime?

284
00:18:05,453 --> 00:18:09,241
- I'm not sure. Maybe six or seven.
- Did any of them contain asbestos?

285
00:18:09,413 --> 00:18:11,847
I don't really know. Perhaps.

286
00:18:12,013 --> 00:18:14,243
What about arsenic, or silica
or chromium?

287
00:18:14,413 --> 00:18:17,405
Where any of his houses tested
for any of these substances?

288
00:18:17,573 --> 00:18:20,929
All of which can cause lung cancer,
if you wonder why I ask.

289
00:18:21,093 --> 00:18:23,607
I don't know if they were tested
for those substances.

290
00:18:23,773 --> 00:18:25,684
- What about radon?
- Radon?

291
00:18:25,853 --> 00:18:28,492
Yes, radon. It's a gas.
It comes from rocks and dirt.

292
00:18:28,653 --> 00:18:31,486
It gets trapped in houses and buildings.
It's quite common.

293
00:18:31,653 --> 00:18:35,123
Odorless, colorless,
and it also causes lung cancer.

294
00:18:35,293 --> 00:18:39,650
Were any of your father's homes
ever tested for radon?

295
00:18:39,813 --> 00:18:43,442
- Not to my knowledge.
- I see.

296
00:18:43,973 --> 00:18:49,570
Thank you. And, again,
my deepest condolences for your loss.

297
00:19:05,733 --> 00:19:07,610
How'd it go?

298
00:19:09,893 --> 00:19:11,611
Okay.

299
00:19:12,453 --> 00:19:15,525
- Hey, you're hurting me.
- What the hell was that with the phone?

300
00:19:15,693 --> 00:19:17,968
My doctor's idea.
He thought it might stimulate...

301
00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:21,011
- I'm in the middle of a trial.
- I tried putting it on vibrate.

302
00:19:21,173 --> 00:19:24,882
I asked you to be part of this case
because I could use your help.

303
00:19:25,053 --> 00:19:27,009
This is the tobacco industry
we're against.

304
00:19:27,173 --> 00:19:29,641
- I know that.
- It is near impossible to beat them.

305
00:19:29,813 --> 00:19:32,373
My odds do not improve
by my cocounsel's phone chirping:

306
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:34,524
"Oh, baby,"
while I cross-examine a witness.

307
00:19:34,693 --> 00:19:36,888
- It was a medical emergency!
- Medical emergency?

308
00:19:37,053 --> 00:19:38,725
- You couldn't get it up in a hot tub.
- Hey, hey, hey.

309
00:19:38,893 --> 00:19:41,487
Not everything in life takes a backseat
to your sex life.

310
00:19:41,653 --> 00:19:44,884
- All I did was accept a call.
- As sophomoric as you're determined to...

311
00:19:45,053 --> 00:19:49,171
- Forgive me for expecting sympathy.
- Sympathy? My client's father is dead.

312
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:51,449
You want sympathy
because your penis failed.

313
00:19:51,613 --> 00:19:53,365
I'm sorry. I'm not getting into this.

314
00:19:53,533 --> 00:19:55,330
I'm just trying to get an erection!

315
00:19:55,493 --> 00:19:57,927
Who knows? Maybe it's the mad cow.

316
00:20:01,613 --> 00:20:04,081
- I'm sure it's not that.
- What if it is?

317
00:20:06,493 --> 00:20:12,728
- My penis has Alzheimer's.
- No, Denny, you just had an off day.

318
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,410
You said it happened to you once?
What were the circumstances?

319
00:20:18,413 --> 00:20:21,530
- It was with her, actually. Phoebe.
- What happened?

320
00:20:24,013 --> 00:20:27,210
- I was in love with her.
- Oh, that'll kill the moment.

321
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:32,962
And she loved me. Just not enough.

322
00:20:33,693 --> 00:20:35,888
I mean, no relationship
is ever quite even.

323
00:20:36,053 --> 00:20:38,248
There's always an imbalance of sorts.

324
00:20:38,413 --> 00:20:43,282
One person loves or is in love
just a little more than the other.

325
00:20:46,133 --> 00:20:48,727
But I just couldn't handle being...

326
00:20:52,173 --> 00:20:54,368
So I left.

327
00:21:01,253 --> 00:21:04,529
- Maybe it's not too late.
- She's happily married with children.

328
00:21:05,093 --> 00:21:06,242
Oh.

329
00:21:07,653 --> 00:21:09,245
It's too late.

330
00:21:19,293 --> 00:21:23,047
And, personally, I take great offense
at constantly being vilified.

331
00:21:23,213 --> 00:21:26,649
Well, tobacco companies do make
for juicy targets.

332
00:21:26,813 --> 00:21:31,091
Well, let me tell you something. Car
manufacturers make products that kill...

333
00:21:31,253 --> 00:21:35,804
...if you want to look at vehicular
fatality statistics. Alcohol? Forget it.

334
00:21:35,973 --> 00:21:38,885
But we also do some good
along the way.

335
00:21:39,053 --> 00:21:42,204
- Nobody wants to talk about that.
- Oh, please. What good?

336
00:21:42,373 --> 00:21:44,933
How about this?
We spend billions of dollars...

337
00:21:45,093 --> 00:21:47,004
...in antismoking campaigns...

338
00:21:47,173 --> 00:21:50,290
...and youth prevention efforts.

339
00:21:50,453 --> 00:21:52,045
How many industries spend money...

340
00:21:52,213 --> 00:21:54,807
...to discourage people
from buying their product?

341
00:21:54,973 --> 00:21:58,761
That is an unprecedented display
of corporate conscience.

342
00:22:00,093 --> 00:22:03,642
<i>You might have mentioned the American
Journal of Public Health study...</i>

343
00:22:03,813 --> 00:22:06,122
...that found teens who watch
antismoking ads...

344
00:22:06,293 --> 00:22:10,491
...aimed at young people, were actually
36 percent more likely to smoke.

345
00:22:10,653 --> 00:22:12,325
I don't agree with their findings.

346
00:22:12,493 --> 00:22:14,882
I bet you also disagree
with the health advocates...

347
00:22:15,053 --> 00:22:17,965
...who've called for a ban
on youth antismoking campaigns...

348
00:22:18,133 --> 00:22:19,885
...funded by the tobacco industries...

349
00:22:20,053 --> 00:22:22,328
...charging they employ
reverse psychology...

350
00:22:22,493 --> 00:22:24,961
...deliberately designed
to get teens to smoke.

351
00:22:25,133 --> 00:22:27,931
- Well, there again is...
- Like cigarettes flavored...

352
00:22:28,093 --> 00:22:31,085
...with chocolate, strawberry
and candy spices to lure children.

353
00:22:31,253 --> 00:22:34,051
- We don't do that anymore...
- Because it was finally outlawed.

354
00:22:34,213 --> 00:22:37,046
At which point you turned your focus
to menthol.

355
00:22:37,213 --> 00:22:38,851
- Which is neat...
- Menthol is legal.

356
00:22:39,013 --> 00:22:42,403
And profitable, since it's the choice
for 75 percent of African-Americans.

357
00:22:42,573 --> 00:22:43,562
- Look...
- Look at what?

358
00:22:43,733 --> 00:22:46,327
Your product,
even when used as directed...

359
00:22:46,493 --> 00:22:49,371
...kills one-third to one-half
of its consumers.

360
00:22:49,533 --> 00:22:52,172
In fact, cigarettes kill more
than car accidents...

361
00:22:52,333 --> 00:22:55,484
...homicides, suicides, AIDS,
and drugs combined.

362
00:22:56,733 --> 00:22:59,042
One death every six seconds.

363
00:23:00,373 --> 00:23:02,443
So just during your testimony...

364
00:23:03,613 --> 00:23:06,366
...another 50 or 60 people
have choked out.

365
00:23:07,693 --> 00:23:09,809
Your company murders people,
Mr. Buttram.

366
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:11,645
- Objection, Your Honor.
Sustained.

367
00:23:11,813 --> 00:23:14,930
Mr. Espenson,
emotion has no play here.

368
00:23:15,093 --> 00:23:18,210
And unless you can ask questions,
we're moving on.

369
00:23:18,373 --> 00:23:20,489
Oh, get a grip, judge.

370
00:23:20,653 --> 00:23:22,245
Sorry.

371
00:24:51,653 --> 00:24:53,564
All yours.

372
00:24:56,093 --> 00:24:59,688
- Excuse me?
- I said, the witness is all yours.

373
00:25:00,413 --> 00:25:02,404
Oh. Oh.

374
00:25:04,333 --> 00:25:05,368
Thank you.

375
00:25:07,693 --> 00:25:08,808
Were you delusional?

376
00:25:08,973 --> 00:25:12,249
Not delusional so much as...
I don't know.

377
00:25:12,413 --> 00:25:16,008
Like I was in another universe
all of a sudden.

378
00:25:16,173 --> 00:25:19,085
- Somewhere on cable.
- There's only one explanation.

379
00:25:19,253 --> 00:25:21,608
- You're still in love with her.
- No.

380
00:25:22,213 --> 00:25:26,923
No, I'm just reminded
of what it felt like to love her.

381
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:31,052
She said that my eyes...

382
00:25:31,733 --> 00:25:33,166
That the fire was gone.

383
00:25:33,333 --> 00:25:36,962
And that passion
is the first thing to go and...

384
00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:44,164
That's been one of my greatest fears,
Denny, as I got older.

385
00:25:44,333 --> 00:25:47,450
"Deadened" was the word she used.

386
00:25:49,373 --> 00:25:50,806
Deadened.

387
00:25:52,053 --> 00:25:54,931
You in the eyes, me in the junk.

388
00:25:56,613 --> 00:25:58,604
On top of it, I'm losing.

389
00:25:58,773 --> 00:26:02,322
I think I made a huge mistake
not putting up more witnesses.

390
00:26:02,493 --> 00:26:05,166
She just put up a mountain
of expert testimony.

391
00:26:05,333 --> 00:26:09,770
Alan, when you step up
to do your closings...

392
00:26:09,933 --> 00:26:11,764
...you're anything but dead.

393
00:26:11,933 --> 00:26:14,163
She hasn't got a taste
of your case yet.

394
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:18,167
She has no idea of how undead
you become in that courtroom.

395
00:26:27,093 --> 00:26:29,243
A masterpiece of nature.

396
00:26:29,413 --> 00:26:32,007
Oh, come on, she's not that hot.

397
00:26:33,013 --> 00:26:35,129
I wasn't talking about her.

398
00:26:38,213 --> 00:26:41,250
Denny, I need to go work
on my closing.

399
00:26:44,773 --> 00:26:47,048
I'm very confused.

400
00:26:52,333 --> 00:26:56,406
As I said, tobacco companies
do make for easy targets.

401
00:26:56,573 --> 00:27:01,328
And I am sure that there is a part of you
that wants to get them.

402
00:27:01,493 --> 00:27:05,850
So if you find that my client caused
the death of Mr. Rhodes...

403
00:27:06,013 --> 00:27:10,006
...then by all means,
return with a judgment for the plaintiff.

404
00:27:11,173 --> 00:27:14,609
But you simply can't make
that finding here.

405
00:27:15,693 --> 00:27:17,172
Yes, he smoked.

406
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:19,847
His daughter says that
it was mostly my client's brand.

407
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:22,447
But we have no substantiation of that.

408
00:27:22,613 --> 00:27:25,810
And while cigarettes may be
the most probable culprit...

409
00:27:25,973 --> 00:27:27,850
...no autopsy was ever done.

410
00:27:30,653 --> 00:27:33,565
He wants you to decide this
on emotion.

411
00:27:34,573 --> 00:27:36,643
But as Judge Brody
has already instructed...

412
00:27:36,813 --> 00:27:39,407
...emotion has no play here.

413
00:27:39,573 --> 00:27:42,645
This is court of law, and as such...

414
00:27:42,813 --> 00:27:47,329
...I will ask that you rule
on the evidence.

415
00:27:47,493 --> 00:27:53,523
After all, you did take an oath
to do exactly that.

416
00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:29,729
Michael Rhodes smoked cigarettes
for 50 years, got lung cancer, and died.

417
00:28:29,893 --> 00:28:32,043
We all know what happened here.

418
00:28:32,213 --> 00:28:34,204
We also all know this death.

419
00:28:34,373 --> 00:28:38,207
Everybody in this room knows somebody
who has fought this same battle...

420
00:28:38,373 --> 00:28:43,493
...and died an agonizing,
brutal, excru...

421
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:53,163
But emotion has no play here.

422
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:57,530
Michael Rhodes was 11 years old
when he started smoking.

423
00:28:57,693 --> 00:29:01,971
It was 1948. At that time,
there was no known risk.

424
00:29:02,133 --> 00:29:03,725
And even if there were, at 11...

425
00:29:03,893 --> 00:29:06,361
...he certainly lacked the capacity
to assume it.

426
00:29:06,533 --> 00:29:10,731
And after that, he was addicted.
They manufacture them to be addictive.

427
00:29:11,413 --> 00:29:14,450
In the last few years, they've increased
the amount of nicotine...

428
00:29:14,613 --> 00:29:17,252
...in the average cigarette
by 11.6 percent...

429
00:29:17,413 --> 00:29:19,085
...to make them even more addictive.

430
00:29:19,253 --> 00:29:21,483
We learned tobacco companies
have been adding...

431
00:29:21,653 --> 00:29:24,406
...an ammonia-based compound
to cigarettes for years...

432
00:29:24,573 --> 00:29:26,325
...to increase absorption of nicotine.

433
00:29:26,493 --> 00:29:29,053
It's basically the same principle used
in crack cocaine.

434
00:29:29,213 --> 00:29:33,047
And let's look at the obscene strategy
they've employed here.

435
00:29:33,213 --> 00:29:37,286
Smoking may cause cancer
but it didn't cause this particular cancer.

436
00:29:37,453 --> 00:29:39,887
It wasn't our cigarettes.
Or it was genetic...

437
00:29:40,053 --> 00:29:42,442
...or asbestos or a paper mill.

438
00:29:42,613 --> 00:29:44,968
Never do they take responsibility, ever.

439
00:29:45,133 --> 00:29:48,170
And God forbid, if you sue them,
they'll bury you and your lawyer.

440
00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:50,483
They might even depose
your doctor to death.

441
00:29:50,653 --> 00:29:53,008
All their insidious methods...

442
00:29:53,173 --> 00:29:56,210
...and cunning corporate tactics
aren't just history...

443
00:29:56,373 --> 00:29:59,251
...it's what they continue
to do now, today.

444
00:29:59,413 --> 00:30:02,132
Because the tobacco industry
is like a nest of cockroaches.

445
00:30:02,293 --> 00:30:04,682
- They will always find a way to survive.
- Objection.

446
00:30:04,853 --> 00:30:08,482
They still go after kids
with one strategy after another.

447
00:30:08,653 --> 00:30:12,771
They put up brightly colored ads
at kids' eye level in convenience stores.

448
00:30:12,933 --> 00:30:16,130
They hire gorgeous 20-somethings
to frequent popular venues...

449
00:30:16,293 --> 00:30:19,729
...and seduce young adults into
attending corporate-sponsored parties.

450
00:30:19,893 --> 00:30:22,009
Cockroaches will always find a way.

451
00:30:22,173 --> 00:30:25,245
They can't advertise on TV
but they've hired PR agencies...

452
00:30:25,413 --> 00:30:27,927
...to hook them up with
the film industry. It's worked.

453
00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:30,766
Researchers estimate
that smoking in movies...

454
00:30:30,933 --> 00:30:35,006
...delivers nearly 400,000
new adolescent smokers every year.

455
00:30:35,173 --> 00:30:39,052
Every time you try to kill the cockroach,
it finds another way. It has to.

456
00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:42,330
Because when you make a product
that kills off your consumers...

457
00:30:42,493 --> 00:30:44,643
...you have to find a way
to recruit customers.

458
00:30:44,813 --> 00:30:49,329
They've now got a new feminized
version of the macho Camel brand...

459
00:30:49,493 --> 00:30:53,486
...using slogans like "light"
and "luscious" with hot-pink packaging.

460
00:30:53,653 --> 00:30:56,770
Virginia Slims advertised
their thin cigarette.

461
00:30:56,933 --> 00:30:59,606
<i>Allure magazine did a whole spread
on the cigarette diet.</i>

462
00:30:59,773 --> 00:31:02,890
They use social
and psychological profiling...

463
00:31:03,053 --> 00:31:05,851
...targeting potential smokers
by gender, ethnicity...

464
00:31:06,013 --> 00:31:08,368
...sexual preference,
socioeconomic groups.

465
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:12,412
Cockroaches don't discriminate.
Their CEO comes into this courtroom...

466
00:31:12,573 --> 00:31:14,723
...gloating over
their antismoking campaign...

467
00:31:14,893 --> 00:31:17,202
...which is designed
to get kids to smoke.

468
00:31:17,373 --> 00:31:22,686
In 2005, they spent more than 15 billion
on advertising and promotion.

469
00:31:22,853 --> 00:31:26,004
That's a 225-percent increase
from 1998.

470
00:31:26,173 --> 00:31:29,848
And they have the audacity to declare
they're trying to discourage smoking.

471
00:31:30,013 --> 00:31:32,607
This is not how corporations
with a conscience behave.

472
00:31:34,653 --> 00:31:37,167
How in God's name
are cigarettes even legal?

473
00:31:37,333 --> 00:31:38,766
Can anybody tell me that?

474
00:31:39,293 --> 00:31:41,488
They are a deadly concoction
of carcinogens...

475
00:31:41,653 --> 00:31:44,963
...that damage every single organ
in your body.

476
00:31:45,133 --> 00:31:47,522
Why do we not ban them?
Because it's a free country.

477
00:31:47,693 --> 00:31:49,968
Because freedom of choice
is an American ideal...

478
00:31:50,133 --> 00:31:52,442
...worth somebody dying
every 6 seconds.

479
00:31:52,613 --> 00:31:55,810
How can any company, especially one
with such a conscience, no less...

480
00:31:55,973 --> 00:31:59,568
...knowingly manufacture a product
that poisons its users?

481
00:31:59,733 --> 00:32:02,088
And make that product look
cool and hip and sexy...

482
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:04,005
...and fun so they can get children?

483
00:32:04,173 --> 00:32:07,245
How can any attorney defend the
company that would do such a thing?

484
00:32:07,413 --> 00:32:10,644
And how can any society tolerate it?
But we do.

485
00:32:13,693 --> 00:32:18,050
There is no conscience at big tobacco.

486
00:32:18,213 --> 00:32:19,965
There is no conscience
in Washington...

487
00:32:20,133 --> 00:32:22,601
...which has been bought and paid
by this industry.

488
00:32:22,773 --> 00:32:25,526
Conscience has to come from you,
the jury.

489
00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:29,925
If real regulation is to happen,
it has to come from you.

490
00:32:30,813 --> 00:32:33,088
People are smoking
day after day after day...

491
00:32:33,253 --> 00:32:34,845
...and dying and dying and dying.

492
00:32:35,013 --> 00:32:37,402
The tobacco companies keep getting
richer and richer.

493
00:32:37,573 --> 00:32:40,883
Last year alone,
they made $ 12 billion in profits.

494
00:32:41,053 --> 00:32:44,932
How can that be? How can that be?

495
00:33:24,893 --> 00:33:25,882
What?

496
00:33:26,053 --> 00:33:29,204
How about, we win, you come
to my place, get in the hot tub naked...

497
00:33:29,373 --> 00:33:31,170
...and I'll bob for you?

498
00:33:31,613 --> 00:33:33,410
That's a pass.

499
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:40,523
Alan, my client has expressed an interest
in working this out.

500
00:33:40,693 --> 00:33:42,570
That's a pass too.

501
00:33:42,733 --> 00:33:45,930
- Don't you wanna hear a number?
- I don't need to hear your number.

502
00:33:46,093 --> 00:33:47,970
Excuse me. Jury has a verdict.

503
00:33:48,133 --> 00:33:50,169
Already?

504
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:52,893
Let's go hear their number.

505
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:06,131
We should listen to what
they have to say. It's not too late.

506
00:34:06,293 --> 00:34:09,251
- Yes, it is, for them.
- Bethany.

507
00:34:09,413 --> 00:34:11,529
Mr. Foreman,
the jury has reached a verdict?

508
00:34:11,693 --> 00:34:13,888
- We have, Your Honor.
- What say you?

509
00:34:15,653 --> 00:34:18,690
<i>In the matter of Rhodes v.
AB Curtis Tobacco Company...</i>

510
00:34:18,853 --> 00:34:22,482
...on the count of wrongful death,
we find in favor...

511
00:34:22,653 --> 00:34:24,006
...of the plaintiff.

512
00:34:24,173 --> 00:34:25,925
- Hot damn!
- We order the defendant...

513
00:34:26,093 --> 00:34:29,722
...to pay compensatory damages
in the amount of $600,000.

514
00:34:29,893 --> 00:34:33,124
We further order the defendant
to pay punitive damages...

515
00:34:33,293 --> 00:34:37,650
...in the amount of $213 million.

516
00:34:37,813 --> 00:34:39,007
What?

517
00:34:39,533 --> 00:34:42,047
Defense moves for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict.

518
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:44,488
Denied.
- Defense moves to set aside the award...

519
00:34:44,653 --> 00:34:46,644
...as excessive.
Denied.

520
00:34:46,813 --> 00:34:49,202
- We appeal.
- So noted.

521
00:34:49,373 --> 00:34:51,648
Members of the jury,
this completes your service.

522
00:34:51,813 --> 00:34:54,407
The court dismisses you
with their thanks.

523
00:34:54,573 --> 00:34:56,211
And we are adjourned.

524
00:34:58,573 --> 00:35:01,451
You gotta feel like getting naked now.

525
00:35:03,053 --> 00:35:05,044
Mr. Shore...

526
00:35:05,533 --> 00:35:08,491
...I don't know what to say.
- Neither do I.

527
00:35:08,653 --> 00:35:12,282
Alan, thank you so, so much.

528
00:35:12,453 --> 00:35:15,206
Alan, a second, please?

529
00:35:15,373 --> 00:35:17,329
In private?

530
00:35:24,213 --> 00:35:28,001
Well, congratulations.

531
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:31,765
Obviously, we'll be fighting this.
It'll be years and years...

532
00:35:31,933 --> 00:35:34,731
...before this thing is remotely over.

533
00:35:34,893 --> 00:35:37,532
I've got time.
It's not as if I'm dying or anything.

534
00:35:38,773 --> 00:35:41,845
No, you're quite not.

535
00:35:46,653 --> 00:35:51,408
Well, I don't do appellate work.

536
00:35:51,573 --> 00:35:54,963
So I'll be passing this on
to another lawyer.

537
00:35:56,853 --> 00:35:59,413
I guess this is goodbye, then.

538
00:36:00,573 --> 00:36:02,450
Yes.

539
00:36:07,013 --> 00:36:08,765
Well...

540
00:36:16,413 --> 00:36:18,483
Goodbye, Alan.

541
00:36:32,253 --> 00:36:34,005
Bye.

542
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,196
You still have me.

543
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,277
It's not quite the same.
But you know what, Denny?

544
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,557
Sometimes it comes remarkably close.

545
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:03,796
What you said to me about
being undead in the courtroom, it...

546
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,958
It's not lost on me how lucky I am
to have somebody in my life who can...

547
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,557
I don't know what I'd do without you.

548
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,358
You know, as much as I hate cigarettes,
I so miss the cigarette break.

549
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,632
The little respite where coworkers
would go outside and be communal...

550
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,590
...discuss the trivial annoyances
and affections in their lives.

551
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,036
It always turned out
to be anything but trivial.

552
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,988
And to think I might not even know you
but for the fact...

553
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,879
...that we both like to smoke
these smelly cancer sticks...

554
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,555
...that can only be smoked outside.

555
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,753
That would be a tragedy.

556
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,512
I especially can't imagine
being alone now...

557
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,477
...when my junk has Alzheimer's.

558
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,192
- Denny.
- It's a symptom. You said so yourself.

559
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,992
It figures. For me,
it would be the first thing to go.

560
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,675
- What's that?
- What? Oh.

561
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,556
I didn't see it.

562
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,831
Oh.

563
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,118
Is that the...? It...

564
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,393
- See you.
- Well, at least let me see it.

565
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:53,789
Oh, my.

566
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,519
- It's a two-piece, Denny. A share toy.
- Forget it.

567
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,954
- Come on.
- It's a gift to me.

568
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,509
- You take top, I'll take bottom.
- Not a chance...

569
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:03,709
Ooh.

570
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,276
- What?
- I'm cured.

571
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,432
- I'm back. I'm gone.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

572
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,558
Why not savor this moment?

573
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:16,508
- At my age, I'm lucky to last a moment.
- You take the top, I'll take the bottom...

574
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,389
...tomorrow we'll switch off. It'll be
just like the three-way you've wanted.

575
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,790
I never wanted you
as part of the three.

576
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,795
Denny, I have never asked you
for anything.

577
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,235
- I am your best friend.
- Oh, Alan.

578
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,437
How can you possibly be
so selfish and cruel?

579
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,118
- Don't ruin it.
- Oh, my God.

580
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,478
- See you.
- What's your rush?

581
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,189
Slow down, treat her right.

582
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,436
Romance her a little.

583
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,191
At least dance with her first.

584
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,952
Dance.

585
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,110
Hold her. Drink her in.

586
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,270
Cherish her.

587
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,429
Ooh.

588
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,712
This is magic.

589
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,952
It's fantastic.

590
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,951
God, are we weird?

591
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,951
So weird.
