<i></i>

2
00:00:02,773 --> 00:00:03,888
What the hell is this?

3
00:00:04,053 --> 00:00:06,123
- The firm is broke.
- The firm is going broke?

4
00:00:06,293 --> 00:00:07,567
Did I know this, and forget?

5
00:00:07,733 --> 00:00:10,531
You're in early stages of Alzheimer's.
Not talking precursors.

6
00:00:10,693 --> 00:00:13,161
There's a drug called Dimebolin,
something like that.

7
00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:14,846
You can't. It's not FDA-approved.

8
00:00:15,013 --> 00:00:16,048
Even a dying patient...

9
00:00:16,213 --> 00:00:19,011
...has no constitutional right
to experimental treatment.

10
00:00:19,173 --> 00:00:21,084
- Now what?
- We go to state supreme court.

11
00:00:21,253 --> 00:00:22,447
- They said no.
- Any appeal?

12
00:00:22,613 --> 00:00:24,126
Well, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

13
00:00:24,293 --> 00:00:26,204
- Will you marry me?
- I'd love to marry you.

14
00:00:26,373 --> 00:00:28,045
We're going back to the Supreme Court.

15
00:00:28,213 --> 00:00:29,692
- Supreme Court.
- Supreme Court.

16
00:00:29,853 --> 00:00:31,002
Supreme Court.

17
00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:48,842
What's up?

18
00:00:49,013 --> 00:00:51,766
All I know is they've reached a deal
and need us to sign off...

19
00:00:51,933 --> 00:00:54,288
- We merged?
- Evidently. We'll know more in a second.

20
00:00:54,453 --> 00:00:55,647
Where are we going?

21
00:00:55,813 --> 00:00:57,804
Twenty-eighth floor. They're all waiting.

22
00:00:57,973 --> 00:00:59,247
Who?

23
00:00:59,413 --> 00:01:01,847
Oh, where's Edwin?
Doesn't he have to sign off?

24
00:01:02,013 --> 00:01:03,162
I'm told he was called.

25
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:05,847
What does this mean to us?
Or specifically, me.

26
00:01:06,013 --> 00:01:08,652
I don't know the details, Denny.
Let's hear what they say.

27
00:01:08,813 --> 00:01:10,485
What the hell is this?

28
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:12,891
Shirley Schmidt and Denny Crane.

29
00:01:13,053 --> 00:01:16,045
I'd like you
to meet Hyung Lee and Zhu Chang.

30
00:01:16,213 --> 00:01:18,044
- Hello.
- They're all Chinese.

31
00:01:18,213 --> 00:01:23,970
Denny. Mr. Chang is the CEO
of the Tsu-Chang International Group.

32
00:01:24,373 --> 00:01:27,809
They've recently acquired Finlay-Crevette,
a law firm you know well.

33
00:01:28,133 --> 00:01:32,411
They are now expanding
to acquire Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

34
00:01:32,813 --> 00:01:35,008
What are you talking about?

35
00:01:35,173 --> 00:01:36,891
I thought we were merging with Finlay?

36
00:01:37,053 --> 00:01:39,931
Yes. Finlay is now
really Tsu International.

37
00:01:40,093 --> 00:01:41,572
Any of you yahoos speak English?

38
00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:43,803
- I speak English, Mr. Crane.
- Oh, good for you.

39
00:01:44,173 --> 00:01:45,162
Who are these guys?

40
00:01:45,333 --> 00:01:49,042
Denny, your abrupt litigation style
is legendary.

41
00:01:49,493 --> 00:01:51,609
You need not put it on display.

42
00:01:51,773 --> 00:01:54,571
Are you telling me we're being bought out
by the Chinese?

43
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:58,123
The good news is they intend to
keep on most of the attorneys here.

44
00:01:58,293 --> 00:01:59,806
So as transitions go...

45
00:01:59,973 --> 00:02:02,806
Yeah, I've seen their transitions in Tibet.
I'm not a fan.

46
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:04,931
We're not selling out to commies.

47
00:02:05,093 --> 00:02:06,162
- Denny...
- How dare you.

48
00:02:06,333 --> 00:02:07,652
You're not a bunch of commies?

49
00:02:07,813 --> 00:02:09,849
You're not getting my firm.

50
00:02:13,053 --> 00:02:15,009
What? What? War talk?

51
00:02:15,173 --> 00:02:16,242
Bring it on.

52
00:02:22,053 --> 00:02:23,611
Denny. Denny.

53
00:02:23,773 --> 00:02:24,888
Denny.

54
00:02:25,733 --> 00:02:27,086
Denny.

55
00:02:30,373 --> 00:02:31,647
Denny.

56
00:02:31,813 --> 00:02:33,405
Stop that! Denny!

57
00:02:34,533 --> 00:02:36,046
Oh, stop.

58
00:03:13,973 --> 00:03:16,931
I think I've managed
to smooth things over.

59
00:03:17,093 --> 00:03:18,492
This deal...

60
00:03:19,813 --> 00:03:22,452
Paul, why didn't you tell me
who you were negotiating with?

61
00:03:23,653 --> 00:03:25,883
It's an extremely reputable group,
Shirley.

62
00:03:26,053 --> 00:03:28,521
Not to mention liquid,
which in this economy...

63
00:03:28,693 --> 00:03:31,161
It's Chinese.

64
00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:34,964
You know how many businesses in this
country are owned and operated by?

65
00:03:35,133 --> 00:03:36,566
We don't have to be one of them.

66
00:03:37,293 --> 00:03:38,851
Shirley.

67
00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:41,852
We don't have any other bidders.

68
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:44,846
We have about three weeks
before we can't make payroll.

69
00:03:45,013 --> 00:03:46,207
Paul.

70
00:03:47,493 --> 00:03:49,848
This firm is my legacy.
My name is on the plaque.

71
00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:53,210
And I don't have to remind you
of China's track record on human rights.

72
00:03:53,373 --> 00:03:56,285
You're talking about the government.
This is a private company.

73
00:03:56,453 --> 00:03:57,806
There have to be alternatives.

74
00:03:58,853 --> 00:04:00,491
There aren't.

75
00:04:08,533 --> 00:04:10,091
Shirley Schmidt.

76
00:04:11,373 --> 00:04:12,886
What?

77
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:15,884
What's the address?

78
00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:20,322
Okay. Thank you.

79
00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:23,642
Denny's been arrested.

80
00:04:24,453 --> 00:04:25,932
What?

81
00:04:26,973 --> 00:04:29,248
It's 1:00 in the morning.

82
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:53,567
I noticed that...

83
00:04:53,733 --> 00:04:57,408
Shirley Schmidt and Paul Lewiston,
we represent Denny Crane. Where is he?

84
00:04:57,573 --> 00:04:59,564
- The den.
- What happened?

85
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:01,883
He broke in
and sexually assaulted a woman.

86
00:05:02,053 --> 00:05:03,372
- What?
- Sexually assaulted her?

87
00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:05,763
He climbed into her bed
while she was sleeping.

88
00:05:05,933 --> 00:05:09,050
She broke free. Called us.

89
00:05:09,853 --> 00:05:11,445
- Denny.
- I called Alan.

90
00:05:11,973 --> 00:05:13,247
Couldn't get him.

91
00:05:13,413 --> 00:05:14,846
Denny, what have you done?

92
00:05:15,013 --> 00:05:18,642
Well, this is just a misunderstanding.
This is, uh, Penelope Kimball's house.

93
00:05:18,813 --> 00:05:21,885
She's a friend, a neighbor.
We have a kind of flirty relationship.

94
00:05:22,053 --> 00:05:26,171
Thought I'd give her a Christmas surprise.
I surprised her too much, I guess.

95
00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:28,608
- You climbed into her bed?
- I thought she'd like it.

96
00:05:28,773 --> 00:05:30,365
We have a kind of chemistry.

97
00:05:30,533 --> 00:05:31,761
Not anymore, you don't.

98
00:05:32,813 --> 00:05:35,930
Well, couldn't I just apologize to her
and go home?

99
00:05:36,093 --> 00:05:37,890
I don't think it's going to be that easy.

100
00:05:38,053 --> 00:05:41,204
You're being charged with breaking
and entering and sexual assault.

101
00:05:41,373 --> 00:05:42,442
Oh, please.

102
00:05:43,613 --> 00:05:46,047
- Who do I make the check out to?
Denny.

103
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:48,443
You are in serious trouble here.

104
00:06:02,853 --> 00:06:04,081
Are you kidding me?

105
00:06:04,973 --> 00:06:07,612
- Oh, please, everybody's overreacting.
- Overreacting?

106
00:06:07,773 --> 00:06:09,525
You broke into a woman's house...

107
00:06:09,693 --> 00:06:11,809
...in the night
climbing into her bed naked.

108
00:06:11,973 --> 00:06:13,691
- I do that all the time.
- Denny.

109
00:06:13,853 --> 00:06:16,447
I didn't break in.
Kitchen door was open, she's a friend.

110
00:06:16,613 --> 00:06:19,810
And as for being naked,
I thought I was saving a little time.

111
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:24,003
Look, the last time she and I spoke,
we talked about Christmas...

112
00:06:24,173 --> 00:06:25,652
...and the gifts and the economy.

113
00:06:25,813 --> 00:06:28,725
And I said this year,
I'm going as The Little Drummer Boy.

114
00:06:28,893 --> 00:06:31,930
Instead of presents, I'm gonna show
and play my little instrument.

115
00:06:32,093 --> 00:06:33,765
And she said, "Oh, I'd like that. "

116
00:06:33,933 --> 00:06:37,972
And I mistook that
for an invitation of sorts. Sorry.

117
00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:41,967
Denny, we are scheduled to go
before the Supreme Court on Friday.

118
00:06:42,133 --> 00:06:44,772
- We've got bigger problems than that.
- What?

119
00:06:44,933 --> 00:06:49,165
We are being bough...
We are being bought out by the Chinese.

120
00:06:49,693 --> 00:06:52,810
- What are you talking about?
- It's very hush-hush, but I'm telling you.

121
00:06:52,973 --> 00:06:56,363
A Chinese company has reached
an agreement in principal to buy us.

122
00:06:56,733 --> 00:06:59,167
This place last night
was crawling with Chinese.

123
00:06:59,333 --> 00:07:00,846
Ho Chi Minh City, kid you not.

124
00:07:01,013 --> 00:07:03,686
Why would a Chinese company
want to buy an American law firm?

125
00:07:03,853 --> 00:07:05,411
They're buying everything.

126
00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:08,687
They're taking over.

127
00:07:10,253 --> 00:07:12,926
How could you have not been kept
in the loop on this?

128
00:07:13,093 --> 00:07:16,403
I was told they were a parent company
of Finlay. I had no idea.

129
00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:20,162
- Carl, I wanna stop it.
- Can we?

130
00:07:20,333 --> 00:07:23,245
The only thing
I can think of is an injunction.

131
00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:27,247
- Try to block it on public policy grounds.
- Public policy?

132
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:30,052
Well, it can't be a good thing
for Chinese corporations...

133
00:07:30,213 --> 00:07:33,125
...to be scooping up American law firms.

134
00:07:33,293 --> 00:07:35,170
It's definitely not good for us.

135
00:07:35,693 --> 00:07:38,446
Well, all in all, we picked
a really bad week to get married.

136
00:07:39,773 --> 00:07:42,287
Ms. Schmidt. I'm Penelope Kimball.

137
00:07:42,653 --> 00:07:45,247
We didn't actually get to meet last night.

138
00:07:45,653 --> 00:07:48,451
No. Carl Sack, this is Penelope Kimball.

139
00:07:48,613 --> 00:07:51,286
- She was the victim of Denny's...
Ah.

140
00:07:51,453 --> 00:07:53,091
Last night. Please sit.

141
00:07:54,053 --> 00:07:57,409
You know, I feel really,
really terrible about all of this.

142
00:07:57,573 --> 00:08:00,565
Well, we all do. Um...

143
00:08:01,173 --> 00:08:04,882
Denny's maintaining
it was some sort of misunderstanding.

144
00:08:05,053 --> 00:08:07,009
Is that possible?

145
00:08:07,853 --> 00:08:12,131
Denny didn't seem
to understand anything last night.

146
00:08:12,573 --> 00:08:13,688
What do you mean?

147
00:08:13,853 --> 00:08:18,563
He seemed extremely disoriented
and confused.

148
00:08:18,733 --> 00:08:20,246
It wasn't...

149
00:08:20,413 --> 00:08:24,611
It didn't seem like an assault of any kind,
so much as...

150
00:08:25,093 --> 00:08:27,891
He seemed really, really confused.

151
00:08:28,053 --> 00:08:32,251
Like he didn't really know where he was.

152
00:08:38,853 --> 00:08:39,922
That's ridiculous.

153
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:44,611
I was in Penelope Kimball's bed
looking to play my instrument.

154
00:08:44,773 --> 00:08:47,446
She's a sexy lady.
Should be glad I didn't climb into yours.

155
00:08:47,613 --> 00:08:51,049
- Denny, there's no point in lying to us.
- I am not.

156
00:08:51,813 --> 00:08:53,804
Denny, look at me.

157
00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:57,685
Tell me what happened last night.

158
00:08:58,933 --> 00:09:00,446
I told you already.

159
00:09:00,813 --> 00:09:02,132
Denny.

160
00:09:06,653 --> 00:09:08,530
I don't know what happened.

161
00:09:12,853 --> 00:09:17,210
All of a sudden, the police were there
and I was in the wrong house.

162
00:09:18,373 --> 00:09:20,045
And I wasn't wearing anything.

163
00:09:21,693 --> 00:09:23,649
I don't know what happened.

164
00:09:25,413 --> 00:09:26,846
I remember being upset at home.

165
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:30,769
I couldn't sleep. I was so worried
about the communist invasion.

166
00:09:32,093 --> 00:09:38,248
Next thing, I'm naked,
and I'm talking to police officers.

167
00:09:38,573 --> 00:09:40,529
I don't even remember
talking to Penelope.

168
00:09:44,813 --> 00:09:46,007
I want that drug.

169
00:09:46,973 --> 00:09:49,362
We'll go to the Supreme Court on Friday.

170
00:10:04,533 --> 00:10:08,287
The question becomes if they refused
to hear almost the same case before...

171
00:10:08,453 --> 00:10:10,171
...why are they suddenly doing so now?

172
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:11,652
I don't know.

173
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,647
It's a bit daunting
being in a room with them...

174
00:10:14,813 --> 00:10:16,769
...even when they're just cutout posters.

175
00:10:17,373 --> 00:10:18,852
How are we doing?

176
00:10:19,013 --> 00:10:22,210
Well, there's no constitutional
right to experimental treatment.

177
00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:24,284
We're gonna locate authority elsewhere.

178
00:10:24,453 --> 00:10:26,364
Right to privacy?
Can we extend my analysis?

179
00:10:26,533 --> 00:10:28,922
You can.
But it's been tried before and rejected.

180
00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:30,522
Medical self-defense?

181
00:10:30,693 --> 00:10:33,161
Also tried with marijuana
for medicinal purposes.

182
00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:34,322
Also rejected.

183
00:10:34,493 --> 00:10:35,482
What have you got?

184
00:10:37,533 --> 00:10:38,522
We're still looking.

185
00:10:40,453 --> 00:10:43,172
Alan, there are rumors
about the firm being sold.

186
00:10:43,333 --> 00:10:45,722
I don't have time
for rumors right now, Jerry.

187
00:10:50,373 --> 00:10:52,284
Look, Shirley. No one likes it.

188
00:10:52,453 --> 00:10:54,648
Why can't you get line of credit
to make payroll?

189
00:10:54,813 --> 00:10:57,088
Line of credit?
Have you been living on this planet?

190
00:10:57,253 --> 00:11:00,689
- We have assets into the millions.
- And liabilities in the tens of millions.

191
00:11:00,853 --> 00:11:03,492
- So make a deal with the devil?
They're not the devil.

192
00:11:03,653 --> 00:11:06,008
- Yes, they are.
- Because they're Chinese?

193
00:11:06,173 --> 00:11:07,891
- Yes.
- You're a bigot.

194
00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:11,489
I'm entitled to my opinion.
I realize I wouldn't be if I were in China.

195
00:11:11,653 --> 00:11:12,642
You are out of line.

196
00:11:12,813 --> 00:11:15,885
- Lf this merger goes through...
- You make your case to the partners.

197
00:11:16,053 --> 00:11:17,884
I will take my name off the firm, Paul.

198
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:20,851
Your name is firm property.
You do not own it.

199
00:11:21,573 --> 00:11:22,847
- I'll go to court.
Fine.

200
00:11:23,013 --> 00:11:25,083
I'll wave to you from the other side.

201
00:11:25,613 --> 00:11:26,841
Paul...

202
00:11:29,693 --> 00:11:31,331
- Thanks for having my back.
- Shirley.

203
00:11:31,493 --> 00:11:34,610
If you expect to have any success
with the partners or in court...

204
00:11:34,773 --> 00:11:36,525
...you'll have to check your prejudice.

205
00:11:36,693 --> 00:11:39,890
I have no problem with the Chinese
people or Chinese-Americans...

206
00:11:40,053 --> 00:11:42,408
...but the government
which a lot of these companies...

207
00:11:42,573 --> 00:11:46,168
Yes, you know what? I think you should
check your anger at the door too.

208
00:11:56,893 --> 00:11:57,882
I spoke to the DA.

209
00:11:58,053 --> 00:11:59,884
They're dropping the charges
against you.

210
00:12:00,373 --> 00:12:02,603
- How did you do that?
- It wasn't difficult really.

211
00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:05,084
Penelope also spoke to them, so...

212
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:08,132
Deep down, that woman wants me.

213
00:12:08,293 --> 00:12:10,363
Do not go there tonight.

214
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:14,246
Thank you, Alan.

215
00:12:15,013 --> 00:12:17,129
Alan, I wanna ask you something.

216
00:12:17,293 --> 00:12:19,602
You may think this is crazy.
But think about it.

217
00:12:19,773 --> 00:12:21,172
Okay.

218
00:12:32,693 --> 00:12:33,682
Will you marry me?

219
00:12:35,093 --> 00:12:37,971
L... I know the sex is lousy, but...

220
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:41,921
It's legal in Massachusetts,
same-sex marriage.

221
00:12:42,093 --> 00:12:44,812
And there are going
to be decisions ahead.

222
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:50,001
Medical decisions that a spouse
gets to make if I should become...

223
00:12:50,173 --> 00:12:54,212
Denny, you can stipulate that
in a living will or by proxy.

224
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:55,647
We don't need to get married.

225
00:12:56,013 --> 00:12:57,571
There are other reasons.

226
00:12:57,733 --> 00:12:59,883
Last night,
I climbed into a neighbor's bed.

227
00:13:00,053 --> 00:13:02,647
I shot a few Chinese.
Although, I don't apologize for that.

228
00:13:02,813 --> 00:13:04,724
- How many times I been arrested?
- A lot.

229
00:13:04,893 --> 00:13:08,602
And the odds on my getting arrested
again for who knows what?

230
00:13:09,013 --> 00:13:11,652
I need to be able to tell you things.

231
00:13:11,813 --> 00:13:14,122
- But you can always...
- Let me finish first.

232
00:13:15,133 --> 00:13:18,045
Although I know you'd resist,
the police could subpoena you...

233
00:13:18,213 --> 00:13:21,330
...and try and force you
to reveal whatever I tell you.

234
00:13:21,493 --> 00:13:22,482
I'd never...

235
00:13:22,653 --> 00:13:24,883
You could be held in contempt
if you refused.

236
00:13:25,053 --> 00:13:26,532
You could end up in jail.

237
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:30,045
On the other hand,
if you had spousal privilege...

238
00:13:30,213 --> 00:13:33,888
I could talk to you without worrying
about you incriminating yourself later.

239
00:13:34,053 --> 00:13:36,123
- Denny...
- For my peace of mind...

240
00:13:36,853 --> 00:13:39,572
Well, the little piece I have left.

241
00:13:39,733 --> 00:13:40,768
Let's be serious.

242
00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:43,811
And I can transfer property to you
without paying gift tax.

243
00:13:43,973 --> 00:13:49,445
- And since the rate is a hundred percent...
- Denny, what we've got now is so great.

244
00:13:49,613 --> 00:13:53,083
Why ruin it with marriage?

245
00:13:54,653 --> 00:13:57,326
- Who knows how long I have left?
- You have a long time left.

246
00:13:57,493 --> 00:14:01,168
We're going to the Supreme Court,
and we're getting you that drug.

247
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:08,643
- Seymour.
- Aye.

248
00:14:08,813 --> 00:14:10,883
Zinberg.
Aye.

249
00:14:11,053 --> 00:14:12,964
Kennedy.
- Aye.

250
00:14:13,133 --> 00:14:15,328
Underwood.
- Aye.

251
00:14:15,493 --> 00:14:17,370
Evans.
- Aye.

252
00:14:17,533 --> 00:14:19,922
Smith.
- Nay.

253
00:14:20,093 --> 00:14:22,243
Xavier.
- Aye.

254
00:14:22,413 --> 00:14:24,210
Espenson.
- Pop. Pop.

255
00:14:24,373 --> 00:14:25,852
Nay.

256
00:14:26,493 --> 00:14:28,688
Adams.
- Aye.

257
00:14:28,853 --> 00:14:31,162
Reid.
- Nay.

258
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:33,324
Thomason.
- Aye.

259
00:14:33,493 --> 00:14:35,643
Sack.
- Nay.

260
00:14:35,813 --> 00:14:37,246
Schmidt.
- Nay.

261
00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:39,652
Okay.

262
00:14:39,813 --> 00:14:43,283
We've got 21 ayes and six nays.

263
00:14:43,453 --> 00:14:44,966
The nays have it.

264
00:14:47,453 --> 00:14:49,125
The motion to approve the merger...

265
00:14:49,293 --> 00:14:51,011
The nays have it.

266
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:54,844
The merger has been approved...

267
00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:56,765
I'll get an injunction.

268
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:01,642
We can get injunctions
on our own, Shirley.

269
00:15:01,813 --> 00:15:02,802
Take your shot, Paul.

270
00:15:03,373 --> 00:15:06,570
Shirley, there are many ways to go out.

271
00:15:06,853 --> 00:15:10,163
On your ass
isn't one of the better ones.

272
00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:12,530
You might keep that in mind, Paul.

273
00:15:41,253 --> 00:15:42,925
Denny, come on.

274
00:15:43,093 --> 00:15:44,970
- Are you for this merger, Carl?
- No.

275
00:15:45,133 --> 00:15:46,725
But this is a bit of a duress sale.

276
00:15:46,893 --> 00:15:49,566
We don't want assistants
and secretaries losing their homes.

277
00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:51,963
God forbid you should have
to sell your Gulfstream.

278
00:15:52,133 --> 00:15:53,407
- Is Shirley going to court?
- She is.

279
00:15:53,573 --> 00:15:54,562
I'm coming with.

280
00:15:54,733 --> 00:15:56,451
- Well...
- My name is on the door too.

281
00:15:56,613 --> 00:15:59,252
Understood.
But we have to present a rational front.

282
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:04,125
Give it to me.

283
00:16:09,973 --> 00:16:11,565
Okay, thank you.

284
00:16:15,893 --> 00:16:19,010
Am I not supposed to see you
before the big day?

285
00:16:19,173 --> 00:16:20,606
You're not the groom.

286
00:16:20,773 --> 00:16:22,365
Still time.

287
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:25,933
- I'm coming with you to fight the Chinese.
- Oh, no, Den...

288
00:16:26,093 --> 00:16:28,402
Shirley, my absence will be conspicuous.

289
00:16:28,573 --> 00:16:31,326
- And much appreciated by all.
- I won't shoot anybody.

290
00:16:31,493 --> 00:16:34,530
I'll keep my clothes on, I'II...

291
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:37,082
- Well, I won't shoot anybody.
- I can't take the risk...

292
00:16:37,253 --> 00:16:38,891
Shirley, I'll behave.

293
00:16:39,053 --> 00:16:42,966
I belong at your side.
I'm a name partner.

294
00:16:43,973 --> 00:16:45,008
God, you're beautiful.

295
00:16:46,413 --> 00:16:47,448
Thank you.

296
00:16:49,733 --> 00:16:52,770
I'm going to pack my trial bag.

297
00:17:04,053 --> 00:17:05,327
Sheesh.

298
00:17:08,933 --> 00:17:10,161
Yes.

299
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:11,652
Yes.

300
00:17:11,813 --> 00:17:13,565
Don't tell me, you love Katie.

301
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,644
A federal case in Newark
recently granted...

302
00:17:15,813 --> 00:17:18,122
...plaintiff the right
to use an experimental drug.

303
00:17:18,293 --> 00:17:21,205
It's the most recent case on point.
I found it, Katie helped.

304
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,445
It's not binding, but it could explain
why the Supreme Court agreed.

305
00:17:24,613 --> 00:17:26,763
- A new case?
- I found it.

306
00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:27,968
Katie helped. Pop, pop.

307
00:17:34,573 --> 00:17:36,609
New case. I found it.

308
00:17:57,693 --> 00:17:58,842
Wait a second.

309
00:17:59,013 --> 00:18:01,811
You're here representing
Crane, Poole & Schmidt?

310
00:18:01,973 --> 00:18:03,008
And you're here?

311
00:18:03,173 --> 00:18:04,925
Also representing
Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

312
00:18:05,093 --> 00:18:07,766
And I would remind the court
I'm Schmidt.

313
00:18:07,933 --> 00:18:12,848
Your Honor, the partnership voted
overwhelmingly to approve this merger.

314
00:18:13,013 --> 00:18:17,006
It is lawful, it is pursuant
to a valid partnership agreement...

315
00:18:17,173 --> 00:18:19,004
...entered into by Ms. Schmidt.

316
00:18:19,173 --> 00:18:21,243
- And it is against public policy.
Why?

317
00:18:21,413 --> 00:18:25,042
To have a business
acquired by Chinese interests?

318
00:18:25,213 --> 00:18:28,410
You're late on the protest wagon,
if that's what you're talking about.

319
00:18:28,573 --> 00:18:31,371
Your Honor, it is one thing for them
to acquire manufacturing...

320
00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:32,966
...and software companies.

321
00:18:33,133 --> 00:18:36,569
It's quite another to allow them
to have a death grip on our law firms...

322
00:18:36,733 --> 00:18:37,722
Death grip?

323
00:18:37,893 --> 00:18:40,361
- Which are safeguarding
our individual liberties...

324
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:42,524
- Hey, counsel.
- This does not scare you?

325
00:18:42,693 --> 00:18:44,046
- Shame on you.
Hold on.

326
00:18:44,213 --> 00:18:45,646
The law is the law.

327
00:18:45,813 --> 00:18:50,125
The Chinese buy companies here,
well, they have to play by our rules.

328
00:18:50,293 --> 00:18:54,002
If they don't wanna play by our rules,
what more effective insidious way...

329
00:18:54,173 --> 00:18:58,052
...to circumvent our laws than
to gain control of America's law firms?

330
00:18:58,213 --> 00:19:00,966
- Your Honor, this is just outrageous.
- May I finish?

331
00:19:01,133 --> 00:19:02,327
Shirley?

332
00:19:09,093 --> 00:19:13,803
China is a lovely country.
I've always wanted to visit their walls.

333
00:19:14,533 --> 00:19:18,685
But the idea
of China coming here is terrifying.

334
00:19:18,853 --> 00:19:23,244
I'm sorry. Their record
on human rights is atrocious.

335
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:27,964
They do not support freedom of speech,
freedom of religion.

336
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,566
They do support Sudan...

337
00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:33,931
...which enables them to contribute
to the genocide in Darfur.

338
00:19:34,093 --> 00:19:37,244
They turn a blind eye
to female infanticide.

339
00:19:37,413 --> 00:19:39,973
They force abortion.
They practice torture.

340
00:19:40,373 --> 00:19:44,366
China's economy will overtake ours.
That's not even a question.

341
00:19:44,533 --> 00:19:46,649
They have so much money
invested here now.

342
00:19:46,813 --> 00:19:50,931
Add to that, the devaluation of our
dollar, they practically own us already.

343
00:19:51,093 --> 00:19:53,129
Their goal
is to become a civilizational power.

344
00:19:53,293 --> 00:19:56,922
And they have the wealth
to achieve that.

345
00:19:57,373 --> 00:20:01,002
Let them buy up all our lawyers
and watch out.

346
00:20:01,173 --> 00:20:02,845
I do not wanna fall into their hands.

347
00:20:03,013 --> 00:20:06,085
And by the way, it is folly to think
we'll control them with our laws.

348
00:20:06,253 --> 00:20:09,689
It is ludicrous to think we'll be tough
on their human rights violations...

349
00:20:09,853 --> 00:20:11,047
...because we haven't been.

350
00:20:11,213 --> 00:20:14,171
And why? Because they own us.

351
00:20:14,573 --> 00:20:18,327
As Hillary Clinton said, "How do you
get tough with your banker?"

352
00:20:26,493 --> 00:20:28,245
I...

353
00:20:28,413 --> 00:20:33,203
I understand that the United States
may end up working for China one day.

354
00:20:33,373 --> 00:20:36,604
I get that. It's a new world order.

355
00:20:39,093 --> 00:20:43,245
But as far as law firms go...

356
00:20:45,213 --> 00:20:47,488
...my name is on this one.

357
00:20:48,533 --> 00:20:52,048
My life's work has been to build up...

358
00:20:56,093 --> 00:20:57,890
Let them start with someone else's firm.

359
00:21:15,813 --> 00:21:19,010
- Did he rule?
- After lunch.

360
00:21:19,173 --> 00:21:23,610
And suppose we lose, has anybody made
it clear how the firm might change?

361
00:21:24,413 --> 00:21:27,007
Paul Lewiston says it won't.
Shirley's convinced otherwise.

362
00:21:27,173 --> 00:21:29,084
Jerry was hopping around.

363
00:21:29,613 --> 00:21:31,922
Said he found a new case on point?

364
00:21:32,093 --> 00:21:36,928
There was a recent federal court ruling
in support of giving experimental drugs.

365
00:21:37,093 --> 00:21:40,529
District court.
It won't be binding, but it'll help.

366
00:21:40,893 --> 00:21:44,886
I'm also presently trying to get you into
one of the clinical trials for Dimebolin.

367
00:21:45,053 --> 00:21:47,487
But I'm not confident of that, Denny.

368
00:21:48,693 --> 00:21:51,890
Have you given any more thought
to my idea?

369
00:21:52,053 --> 00:21:53,805
What idea?

370
00:21:54,493 --> 00:21:56,211
Marrying you.

371
00:21:57,333 --> 00:21:59,528
We're committed to each other.

372
00:21:59,933 --> 00:22:01,252
Let's make it legal.

373
00:22:02,693 --> 00:22:04,445
L... I didn't mean to get emotional.

374
00:22:04,613 --> 00:22:06,444
It's just...

375
00:22:06,613 --> 00:22:10,288
Maybe it's a bad sign
that my personal legacy is so tied...

376
00:22:10,453 --> 00:22:12,125
...to my profession instead of...

377
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:18,372
I hardly ever talk to my daughter.

378
00:22:18,533 --> 00:22:20,649
I don't to my sister.

379
00:22:20,813 --> 00:22:23,122
- We could always start a family.
- Ha, ha, ha.

380
00:22:24,453 --> 00:22:27,490
Shirley, are you the least bit excited
about getting married?

381
00:22:27,653 --> 00:22:30,770
Well, of course I am.
Why would you ask that?

382
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:33,811
I mean, most brides
are obsessed with their wedding day.

383
00:22:33,973 --> 00:22:35,964
Oh, please. I've had too many of them.

384
00:22:36,893 --> 00:22:39,009
L... I didn't mean for it to sound that way.

385
00:22:39,453 --> 00:22:40,886
You wanna postpone the ceremony?

386
00:22:41,053 --> 00:22:44,284
No, no.
Let's just get it over with before I...

387
00:22:44,773 --> 00:22:49,244
Hey, I definitely didn't mean
for that to sound that way.

388
00:22:49,413 --> 00:22:52,086
This is where I get insecure,
then I want to run to New York.

389
00:22:52,253 --> 00:22:55,962
Hey, I want to marry you
more than anything.

390
00:22:56,133 --> 00:22:58,647
And I don't wanna delay it
a single second.

391
00:22:59,453 --> 00:23:01,728
In all of this madness...

392
00:23:03,293 --> 00:23:06,569
...don't let my love for you get lost,
okay?

393
00:23:06,733 --> 00:23:07,722
Okay.

394
00:23:10,493 --> 00:23:13,849
Judas Priest, again with the kissing.
Is this for my benefit?

395
00:23:14,013 --> 00:23:16,243
No, Denny, it's for mine.
Do you need something?

396
00:23:16,413 --> 00:23:19,246
- Do we have a ruling yet?
- No, not yet, we're still wa...

397
00:23:23,653 --> 00:23:25,609
The judge ruled.

398
00:23:26,053 --> 00:23:29,011
Your injunction was denied.
The merger is valid.

399
00:23:31,213 --> 00:23:33,681
Look, Shirley.
None of us wanted this to happen.

400
00:23:34,853 --> 00:23:36,764
But we have responsibilities to others.

401
00:23:37,533 --> 00:23:42,368
And like it or not,
this firm is bigger than all of us.

402
00:23:57,413 --> 00:23:59,244
Thank you for joining.

403
00:24:01,413 --> 00:24:04,530
Obviously, your remarks about China
are deeply disturbing.

404
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:08,368
At a time when China's embracing
capitalism and American ideals...

405
00:24:08,533 --> 00:24:10,683
...we expected to be welcomed
more graciously.

406
00:24:12,533 --> 00:24:16,765
Mr. Chang, uh,
the dirty little secret on China...

407
00:24:16,933 --> 00:24:19,163
...is the capitalism you so embrace...

408
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:22,530
...consists primarily
of state-owned enterprises.

409
00:24:23,413 --> 00:24:27,804
Many of these companies, including
this one, are not really all that private.

410
00:24:27,973 --> 00:24:33,491
They are often tied to your government.
There's nothing American about that ideal.

411
00:24:38,973 --> 00:24:41,646
Many of your banks today
are owned by your government.

412
00:24:43,213 --> 00:24:46,967
Our hope is that you would remain
with Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

413
00:24:47,453 --> 00:24:51,810
We now have deep concerns over whether
you will serve our interests with fidelity.

414
00:24:53,013 --> 00:24:56,289
If you feel you cannot, we would
appreciate you acting with honor...

415
00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:58,125
...and submitting your resignation.

416
00:25:00,693 --> 00:25:02,843
You'll have my resignation
by the end of business.

417
00:25:06,053 --> 00:25:08,965
Uh, since we're being honorable,
would you do me the courtesy...

418
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:12,409
...of removing my good name
from these walls?

419
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:37,051
Bitch.

420
00:25:37,213 --> 00:25:39,807
- You quit?
- Carl, I just can't do this.

421
00:25:39,973 --> 00:25:44,524
No. First of all, you never make this kind
of decision when you're emotional.

422
00:25:44,693 --> 00:25:46,843
Second, there are people
who now more than ever...

423
00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:49,402
...are gonna be looking to you
for reassurance.

424
00:25:49,853 --> 00:25:51,969
- This is not how a leader reacts.
- You can lead.

425
00:25:52,133 --> 00:25:54,363
No, I can't. I don't
enjoy the loyalty you do here.

426
00:25:54,533 --> 00:25:58,048
We certainly don't want Denny in charge.
Do not be submitting your resignation.

427
00:25:58,213 --> 00:26:00,124
At least not yet.

428
00:26:01,333 --> 00:26:03,449
Oh, gee. It's Laurel and Hardy.

429
00:26:04,853 --> 00:26:06,923
Ms. Schmidt,
you've been very rude to us.

430
00:26:07,453 --> 00:26:09,887
We will not respond in kind.

431
00:26:10,053 --> 00:26:12,726
Mr. Sack,
may we meet with you, please?

432
00:26:16,453 --> 00:26:19,889
I would submit there are four factors
the court must look at.

433
00:26:20,053 --> 00:26:21,406
First...

434
00:26:21,573 --> 00:26:25,202
You don't get to tell us
what we must do. Sorry, start again.

435
00:26:25,373 --> 00:26:28,922
- Jerry, which justice are you playing?
- I was kind of a composite.

436
00:26:30,133 --> 00:26:31,452
Okay.

437
00:26:31,733 --> 00:26:34,725
I would like the court
to consider four factors...

438
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:39,011
...in determining whether my client
qualifies for the compassion exception...

439
00:26:39,173 --> 00:26:41,129
...to the ban on experimental drugs.

440
00:26:41,293 --> 00:26:45,081
What? Whoa, whoa. You've come to the
Supreme Court looking for compassion?

441
00:26:45,893 --> 00:26:48,612
Boy, did you walk into the wrong room,
I tell you.

442
00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:50,001
Jerry, they won't do that.

443
00:26:50,173 --> 00:26:53,245
Lose the cigarette, play straight.
This is kind of an important case.

444
00:26:55,693 --> 00:26:56,762
What's going on?

445
00:26:59,133 --> 00:27:00,612
Am I already dead?

446
00:27:02,773 --> 00:27:04,525
Effective as of January 1 st...

447
00:27:04,693 --> 00:27:08,891
...the Litigation Department of Crane,
Poole & Schmidt is being replaced.

448
00:27:09,373 --> 00:27:12,763
Ha, ha. What are you talking about?
We've all been fired?

449
00:27:12,933 --> 00:27:16,846
Fired is such an ugly word, Alan.
An accurate one, but...

450
00:27:17,013 --> 00:27:20,130
I am sorry. This is no doubt
because I antagonized them.

451
00:27:20,613 --> 00:27:22,763
Fired? All of us?

452
00:27:23,173 --> 00:27:25,084
- Even me?
- Especially you.

453
00:27:26,133 --> 00:27:27,168
They fired you twice.

454
00:27:29,213 --> 00:27:30,805
There you go.

455
00:27:32,053 --> 00:27:37,730
We've been dead before. Then suddenly,
like from the planet Mars, life.

456
00:27:39,133 --> 00:27:41,010
We could just start a new firm.

457
00:27:41,173 --> 00:27:44,449
But frankly, I don't think
I have the energy or the will.

458
00:27:44,613 --> 00:27:48,447
Never surrender, Shirley.
Especially to a bunch of commies.

459
00:27:48,613 --> 00:27:50,251
It's not about surrendering, Denny.

460
00:27:50,413 --> 00:27:54,804
It's just that it's time for me to marry
a man I love and start a real life.

461
00:27:57,773 --> 00:27:59,968
I mean him.

462
00:28:00,133 --> 00:28:04,888
Look, if you could permit an old lady
to peddle some advice...

463
00:28:05,053 --> 00:28:09,251
...whatever you do next,
make sure it's something you love.

464
00:28:10,133 --> 00:28:15,651
A life, professional or personal,
without passion, you're dead.

465
00:28:20,493 --> 00:28:24,202
Jerry,
this can be the start of a good thing.

466
00:28:24,373 --> 00:28:26,523
I just don't do well with goodbyes.

467
00:28:27,053 --> 00:28:29,442
Look, we are going to come
through this.

468
00:28:29,613 --> 00:28:33,572
And we will do that by focusing
on what's immediately ahead of us.

469
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:37,646
For me, that's my wedding,
which is Saturday at St. Christopher's.

470
00:28:37,813 --> 00:28:40,452
You are all, of course, invited.
We're keeping it small.

471
00:28:40,613 --> 00:28:42,649
That's rushing it, isn't it?
Just got engaged.

472
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:45,642
I'm knocked up, Denny.

473
00:28:46,133 --> 00:28:47,725
Kidding, kidding.

474
00:28:47,893 --> 00:28:52,125
As for the four of you, you must
concentrate all your focus and energy...

475
00:28:52,293 --> 00:28:53,806
...on the Supreme Court argument.

476
00:28:53,973 --> 00:28:56,931
- How do you stand?
- I found a new case, Katie helped.

477
00:28:57,093 --> 00:28:59,607
There is precedent
for allowing an experimental drug.

478
00:29:00,933 --> 00:29:03,606
Alan, you're very quiet.

479
00:29:03,773 --> 00:29:05,843
We'll be ready by Friday.

480
00:29:06,013 --> 00:29:07,765
What are you thinking about?

481
00:29:10,973 --> 00:29:12,929
I think we should fire them.

482
00:29:13,413 --> 00:29:14,812
- Excuse me?
Our new bosses.

483
00:29:14,973 --> 00:29:18,204
It's not right that they fired us.
I think we should fire them.

484
00:29:19,533 --> 00:29:21,922
I know you're good,
but exactly how would that work?

485
00:29:22,133 --> 00:29:23,327
Mah.

486
00:29:24,933 --> 00:29:26,969
Go ahead and get us a meeting.

487
00:29:46,853 --> 00:29:49,242
Now, look, I know
there's a lot riding on this meeting.

488
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:53,406
But I want everyone
to just take a deep breath and stay calm.

489
00:29:53,573 --> 00:29:57,566
Alan can handle it. Can't you, Alan?

490
00:29:57,733 --> 00:30:01,169
<i>- Larry Storch played Agarn, right?
- On F- Troop, yes.</i>

491
00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:05,042
<i>- What's F- Troop?
- I loved F- Troop.</i>

492
00:30:06,613 --> 00:30:07,932
Dear Lord.

493
00:30:17,813 --> 00:30:22,170
Greetings, our Chinese carpetbaggers.
I'm told it's customary to bow.

494
00:30:22,333 --> 00:30:24,449
- That's Japanese.
- Greetings, good to see you.

495
00:30:24,613 --> 00:30:27,173
Yes, hello, good to see you.
Greetings, yes.

496
00:30:27,333 --> 00:30:29,164
Oh, love the tie. Greetings, yes.

497
00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:31,324
Hello, good to see you. Greetings, yes.

498
00:30:31,493 --> 00:30:35,566
Okay, this concludes the bowing and
kowtowing portion of the presentation.

499
00:30:35,733 --> 00:30:38,167
I'm told we need an interpreter.
Who would that be?

500
00:30:38,333 --> 00:30:41,564
Actually, Mr. Shore, almost everybody
here can understand English.

501
00:30:41,733 --> 00:30:45,089
And since this is a unilateral
presentation, why don't you just talk.

502
00:30:45,253 --> 00:30:46,811
We didn't allow you time to speak.

503
00:30:46,973 --> 00:30:50,761
I'm having second thoughts about the tie,
though. Oh, good, he does understand.

504
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:54,846
So where to begin? How about
welcome to Crane, Poole & Schmidt?

505
00:30:55,013 --> 00:30:56,241
I'm afraid you're fired.

506
00:30:56,413 --> 00:30:58,324
Nothing personal.
You seem like fine folk.

507
00:30:58,493 --> 00:31:01,451
Love the discipline, the 10,000
drummers. But it's not working out.

508
00:31:01,613 --> 00:31:04,127
Sorry, out. Single file, please.
Move along, bye-bye.

509
00:31:06,853 --> 00:31:09,731
Mr. Shore, we now own the firm.

510
00:31:09,893 --> 00:31:11,406
That doesn't much matter, Mr?

511
00:31:11,573 --> 00:31:13,052
- Lee.
- Lee, yes, this is America.

512
00:31:13,213 --> 00:31:15,443
It all comes down
to who the jury likes better.

513
00:31:15,613 --> 00:31:18,207
I don't think an American jury
will side with communists.

514
00:31:18,493 --> 00:31:21,087
Juries frown on oppressors.
Even when they're capitalists.

515
00:31:21,253 --> 00:31:23,892
- So the idea of China...
- On what grounds could you prevail?

516
00:31:24,053 --> 00:31:25,884
Grounds? Who cares about grounds?

517
00:31:26,053 --> 00:31:28,613
Cases always come down
to who the jury likes better.

518
00:31:28,773 --> 00:31:30,206
Didn't I say this? Think I did.

519
00:31:30,373 --> 00:31:31,488
So anyway, meet the group.

520
00:31:31,653 --> 00:31:34,167
We're a fine, very likeable group,
infectious smiles.

521
00:31:34,333 --> 00:31:35,368
Smile, group.

522
00:31:35,533 --> 00:31:38,047
And best of all,
bad for you, we're very good.

523
00:31:38,213 --> 00:31:41,011
Did you check out our win/loss record?
Good for us, bad for you.

524
00:31:41,173 --> 00:31:44,449
More importantly, did you note kinds
of cases that we argue week to week?

525
00:31:44,613 --> 00:31:46,808
Preposterous,
mostly unwinnable on their face.

526
00:31:46,973 --> 00:31:48,611
Yet we win them, grounds or not.

527
00:31:48,773 --> 00:31:50,206
Must be the smiles. Smile, group.

528
00:31:50,373 --> 00:31:52,250
And here, we actually do have grounds.

529
00:31:52,413 --> 00:31:56,088
For you to summarily Schmidt-can
an entire Litigation Department...

530
00:31:56,253 --> 00:31:59,404
...a successful one, no less,
because I guess you don't like us.

531
00:31:59,573 --> 00:32:03,282
It seems arbitrary, capricious,
actionable, winnable of all things.

532
00:32:03,453 --> 00:32:07,651
It doesn't really seem fair, does it, for us
to have both the merits and the smiles.

533
00:32:07,813 --> 00:32:09,371
Smile, group. But we do.

534
00:32:09,533 --> 00:32:12,843
A wrongful discharge, subject
to compensatory and punitive damages...

535
00:32:13,013 --> 00:32:14,526
...could be lots of money.

536
00:32:14,693 --> 00:32:16,649
Not to mention,
think of fallout at the firm.

537
00:32:16,813 --> 00:32:18,849
We're not just good litigators.
We're popular.

538
00:32:19,013 --> 00:32:21,163
Again, could be the smiles
and you firing us.

539
00:32:21,333 --> 00:32:24,450
Well, that would be a terrible,
terrible way to introduce yourselves.

540
00:32:24,613 --> 00:32:27,173
I mean, Denny Crane, Shirley Schmidt?
You must be joking.

541
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:31,804
I know how the Chinese love to kid,
like with the tanks in the square...

542
00:32:31,973 --> 00:32:34,043
...the monks in Tibet, or daughters.

543
00:32:34,213 --> 00:32:39,162
But you could have a mass exodus of
lawyers long before we even get to trial...

544
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:41,563
...which we will, of course,
get to just the same.

545
00:32:41,733 --> 00:32:44,122
And when we do, take caution.
Here's a little tip.

546
00:32:44,293 --> 00:32:48,445
We Americans love to trade on fear.
Ask W, ask Dick, ask Rummy.

547
00:32:48,613 --> 00:32:50,922
Fear sells. Fear works.

548
00:32:51,093 --> 00:32:53,084
The fear I'll be trading on is China.

549
00:32:53,253 --> 00:32:55,721
Communist China taking our jobs.

550
00:32:55,893 --> 00:32:57,451
First over there, then over here.

551
00:32:57,613 --> 00:33:00,764
Where you once were passive investors,
now you want active control.

552
00:33:00,933 --> 00:33:02,764
That scares Americans.

553
00:33:02,933 --> 00:33:06,130
Active communists,
made in China, seeking control.

554
00:33:06,293 --> 00:33:07,726
Ooh, scary.

555
00:33:07,893 --> 00:33:09,042
One last thought.

556
00:33:09,213 --> 00:33:11,647
We're giant slayers here.
It's what we do.

557
00:33:11,813 --> 00:33:16,603
Be it the United States government,
big pharmaceutical, big tobacco, big oil.

558
00:33:16,773 --> 00:33:17,762
It never gets old.

559
00:33:17,933 --> 00:33:20,891
And just when it seemed we were
fresh out of bigs, along came you.

560
00:33:21,053 --> 00:33:22,725
China, the poster child for big.

561
00:33:22,893 --> 00:33:26,522
To parade you in front of an
American jury, well, here's your out.

562
00:33:26,693 --> 00:33:30,129
We'll agree not to fire you,
not to sue on one condition.

563
00:33:30,293 --> 00:33:34,491
We stay, and we stay in charge.
Do what you want with corporate or tax.

564
00:33:34,653 --> 00:33:36,132
In litigation, we run the show.

565
00:33:36,293 --> 00:33:39,330
Schmidt, Denny Crane, Carl Sack,
Jerry Espenson, Katie Lloyd, me.

566
00:33:39,493 --> 00:33:41,085
It's our party. Stay out of our way.

567
00:33:41,253 --> 00:33:43,767
We'll stay out of yours. That is the deal.

568
00:33:57,413 --> 00:34:00,450
Not sure you got
the desired effect there, Al.

569
00:34:09,253 --> 00:34:12,689
My father used to say, "After watching
the Bruins with Bobby Orr...

570
00:34:12,853 --> 00:34:15,970
...it just wasn't the same after. "

571
00:34:16,453 --> 00:34:20,810
I think I'll feel that way
about watching Alan Shore practice law.

572
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:25,408
There will never be anyone ever like him.

573
00:34:28,773 --> 00:34:31,765
- Lf we break up...
- Do I need to reach for the oil can?

574
00:34:35,253 --> 00:34:37,209
Are we still on for dinner?

575
00:34:37,613 --> 00:34:39,285
Yes.

576
00:34:40,933 --> 00:34:43,493
This will be, like, our third date, Jerry.

577
00:34:47,173 --> 00:34:50,051
- Hello, welcome, hello.
- Relax.

578
00:34:50,213 --> 00:34:52,283
We don't need to kiss.

579
00:35:20,933 --> 00:35:23,163
They have decided to reinstate us.

580
00:35:24,053 --> 00:35:28,285
Evidently, they agree it would send
a bad message to summarily broom us.

581
00:35:28,453 --> 00:35:31,729
Which means they probably
just plan to do it more gradually.

582
00:35:31,893 --> 00:35:32,928
Perhaps.

583
00:35:33,093 --> 00:35:36,529
They are bringing in somebody new
to oversee the Litigation Department.

584
00:35:36,693 --> 00:35:38,490
- Who?
I don't know.

585
00:35:38,973 --> 00:35:42,329
But for now,
more life from Mars, I guess.

586
00:35:42,493 --> 00:35:45,644
Well, do we even want it, Shirley?

587
00:35:46,253 --> 00:35:48,130
We can now leave on our own terms.

588
00:35:48,293 --> 00:35:50,090
Well...

589
00:35:50,853 --> 00:35:54,846
Right now,
let's concentrate on the Supreme Court.

590
00:35:55,013 --> 00:35:57,846
And my wedding.
And we'll take it from there.

591
00:35:59,693 --> 00:36:00,728
Thank you, Alan.

592
00:36:02,533 --> 00:36:04,091
You...

593
00:36:04,533 --> 00:36:06,285
You are really something.

594
00:36:06,573 --> 00:36:08,689
When women tell me that,
it's to get inside my...

595
00:36:08,853 --> 00:36:10,332
Alan.

596
00:36:12,933 --> 00:36:13,968
See you tomorrow.

597
00:36:14,933 --> 00:36:17,003
Feels good to say that.

598
00:36:37,413 --> 00:36:39,085
How are you doing?

599
00:36:39,933 --> 00:36:42,811
Better days. Worse too.

600
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:47,327
- So we live again.
- For now.

601
00:36:48,933 --> 00:36:52,403
Hell of a speech, Alan.
I even listened this time.

602
00:36:52,573 --> 00:36:54,291
- To all of it?
- Don't be ridiculous.

603
00:36:58,733 --> 00:37:00,769
I've been thinking
about what Shirley said.

604
00:37:00,933 --> 00:37:03,811
Loving life, loving your job.

605
00:37:03,973 --> 00:37:07,170
- We've always done both.
- But will we?

606
00:37:07,333 --> 00:37:09,369
Under this new regime?

607
00:37:10,653 --> 00:37:15,807
If I could do anything, I think it would
be to open my own legal aid firm.

608
00:37:15,973 --> 00:37:17,167
What the hell is that?

609
00:37:17,333 --> 00:37:21,804
Well, basically, it's a firm where you
give your services away for free.

610
00:37:22,413 --> 00:37:23,402
What's the point?

611
00:37:23,573 --> 00:37:27,725
Denny, in this economy,
those are gonna be the first services cut.

612
00:37:27,893 --> 00:37:29,167
Legal aid to the poor.

613
00:37:29,733 --> 00:37:30,768
Oh.

614
00:37:32,613 --> 00:37:36,526
Do you think
that I might like poor people?

615
00:37:37,373 --> 00:37:39,250
I've never taken the time to know one.

616
00:37:39,413 --> 00:37:42,052
Oh, they can be very nice
once you get to know them.

617
00:37:44,413 --> 00:37:45,562
Problem is funding it.

618
00:37:47,253 --> 00:37:52,122
Plus, I must admit, I enjoy having
money to travel and fish, eat well.

619
00:37:52,293 --> 00:37:54,204
You know where this
is headed, don't you?

620
00:37:54,533 --> 00:37:55,966
Where?

621
00:37:56,613 --> 00:37:58,046
Straight to the altar.

622
00:37:59,653 --> 00:38:04,010
Alan, I have more money than God,
unless he timed the market.

623
00:38:05,093 --> 00:38:06,082
I can't give it to you...

624
00:38:06,253 --> 00:38:08,767
...because the government
will take half with the gift tax.

625
00:38:08,933 --> 00:38:12,892
And I can't die and leave it to you
because of the estate tax.

626
00:38:13,053 --> 00:38:14,042
Don't get me started.

627
00:38:14,573 --> 00:38:20,125
If you were my spouse,
I could give it, I could leave it to you.

628
00:38:20,293 --> 00:38:23,330
What's mine is yours.

629
00:38:23,933 --> 00:38:25,605
Government can't touch it.

630
00:38:25,773 --> 00:38:30,289
Well, for that matter, you could
open a business or start a foundation...

631
00:38:30,453 --> 00:38:34,526
In which case, you can't use it
for incidentals like travel, fishing.

632
00:38:34,693 --> 00:38:38,527
And the way you go after the
government? They already audit you.

633
00:38:39,133 --> 00:38:42,921
They'll find a way to nail you for
commingling, or malfeasance or whatever.

634
00:38:43,773 --> 00:38:49,803
The cleanest, simplest, most efficient
transfer of property is marriage.

635
00:38:50,213 --> 00:38:51,532
Plus all those other reasons.

636
00:38:51,693 --> 00:38:57,723
Medical, spousal privilege, immunity.

637
00:38:59,173 --> 00:39:02,643
Ha, ha. It's beyond ridiculous,
even for us.

638
00:39:05,253 --> 00:39:07,767
I've always wanted
to remarry before I die.

639
00:39:08,573 --> 00:39:10,086
Really?

640
00:39:11,093 --> 00:39:12,446
Why?

641
00:39:15,053 --> 00:39:16,452
I just have.

642
00:39:16,613 --> 00:39:19,332
And like it or not...

643
00:39:22,093 --> 00:39:23,651
...you're the man I love.

644
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:29,006
Think of all the,
what do you call them, poor people?

645
00:39:29,573 --> 00:39:32,292
- Yes.
- Think of all the poor people you can help.

646
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:38,688
Allocating my wealth to them, not the
Iraq war or the Wall Street bailout.

647
00:39:39,493 --> 00:39:41,643
Take my hand, Alan.

648
00:39:42,733 --> 00:39:44,451
Take my money.

649
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:49,402
I always thought
if I were to get married again...

650
00:39:49,573 --> 00:39:53,088
...it would be for love and romance.

651
00:39:54,853 --> 00:39:56,081
You love me.

652
00:39:56,653 --> 00:39:59,326
Romance never lasts. Money can.

653
00:40:05,013 --> 00:40:07,971
Okay, Denny. I will marry you.

654
00:40:08,653 --> 00:40:10,052
Really?

655
00:40:10,213 --> 00:40:14,001
Why not?
I suppose it had to come to this.

656
00:40:16,133 --> 00:40:17,202
It'll be great.

657
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:19,971
Yes, it will.

658
00:40:23,253 --> 00:40:24,845
Like jumping a shark.

659
00:40:25,013 --> 00:40:27,322
Hey, how about we do it
on the dock of Nimmo Bay?

660
00:40:27,733 --> 00:40:29,451
Perfect.

661
00:40:29,613 --> 00:40:32,810
- A salmon in one hand...
- Me in the other.

662
00:40:32,973 --> 00:40:35,168
Let no man tear asunder.

663
00:40:36,773 --> 00:40:38,729
This could be a television series.

664
00:40:38,893 --> 00:40:41,043
- On a new network.
- One that cares.

665
00:40:41,653 --> 00:40:44,884
Alan Shore and Denny Crane,
husband and mad cow.

666
00:41:09,493 --> 00:41:12,291
Make sure as you stand,
that you face each other.

667
00:41:12,453 --> 00:41:14,648
It's a pet peeve of mine
when couples look like...

668
00:41:14,813 --> 00:41:17,930
...they're going off in different
directions, even during the ceremony.

669
00:41:18,093 --> 00:41:20,129
Okay, then,
now you're gonna be giving her away.

670
00:41:20,293 --> 00:41:22,363
- Ah.
- And you're obviously the groom.

671
00:41:22,533 --> 00:41:23,966
And that would make you the Jew.

672
00:41:25,013 --> 00:41:26,446
Rabbi. Rabbi.

673
00:41:26,613 --> 00:41:28,410
Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.

674
00:41:28,573 --> 00:41:30,529
I certainly hope
you will accept my apology.

675
00:41:30,693 --> 00:41:32,843
May I be really honest, Father?

676
00:41:33,013 --> 00:41:35,243
I'm not happy at all with this union.

677
00:41:35,413 --> 00:41:37,131
- Rabbi?
- There's a very old joke.

678
00:41:37,293 --> 00:41:39,329
What do you call the child
of a Jew and a Christian?

679
00:41:39,493 --> 00:41:40,562
- Here we go.
- A Christian.

680
00:41:41,573 --> 00:41:43,803
- Assimilation. See, didn't I tell you?
- Father.

681
00:41:43,973 --> 00:41:45,406
Excuse me?

682
00:41:45,573 --> 00:41:48,133
Do you know the most oppressed religion
in America today?

683
00:41:48,293 --> 00:41:49,328
- Christianity.
- Father.

684
00:41:49,493 --> 00:41:51,449
- Here, here.
- It's Christmastime.

685
00:41:51,613 --> 00:41:53,365
You know,
Christmas has become verboten.

686
00:41:53,533 --> 00:41:56,127
- Can't even say the word.
- Interesting he speaks German.

687
00:41:56,293 --> 00:41:58,124
- What?
- Maybe we should all start over.

688
00:41:58,293 --> 00:42:00,443
- I'd like to know what you meant.
- Not personal.

689
00:42:00,613 --> 00:42:03,810
Just a peeve over how the Catholic
Church turned its back on Holocaust.

690
00:42:03,973 --> 00:42:05,406
I love it. A holy war.

691
00:42:05,573 --> 00:42:09,043
The Catholic Church has been
unwavering in its support of Israel.

692
00:42:09,213 --> 00:42:11,010
- At great risk to America.
- Father...

693
00:42:11,173 --> 00:42:14,927
Much of the violence directed at our
country stems from our support of Israel.

694
00:42:15,093 --> 00:42:17,891
Support which is surely
as disproportionate...

695
00:42:18,053 --> 00:42:20,123
...since Israel probably
doesn't need to exist.

696
00:42:20,293 --> 00:42:21,408
Ooh, that should seal it.

697
00:42:21,573 --> 00:42:24,451
Did you actually just say
Israel shouldn't exist?

698
00:42:24,613 --> 00:42:26,444
- Rabbi?
- Come on, Rabbi.

699
00:42:26,893 --> 00:42:30,363
I mean, it was created as a refuge,
a safe haven for Jews.

700
00:42:30,973 --> 00:42:33,248
Jews are doing fine now,
so what's the point?

701
00:42:37,813 --> 00:42:38,848
It was ugly.

702
00:42:39,013 --> 00:42:42,289
Rabbi stormed out, priest refused
to give Shirley the use of the church.

703
00:42:42,453 --> 00:42:44,125
Why were you rehearsing
on a Wednesday?

704
00:42:44,293 --> 00:42:47,251
Because I'm gonna be
at the Supreme Court on Friday...

705
00:42:47,413 --> 00:42:49,643
...filling a drug prescription.

706
00:42:49,813 --> 00:42:51,485
Check out the hair lip on that clerk.

707
00:42:51,653 --> 00:42:53,450
Denny, do not say anything offensive.

708
00:42:53,613 --> 00:42:56,411
Let's just get this done
without incident.

709
00:42:58,093 --> 00:43:00,687
- May I help you?
- Yes, we'd like to apply for a moustache...

710
00:43:00,853 --> 00:43:02,923
A marriage license.

711
00:43:03,973 --> 00:43:06,965
- You two are getting married?
- Is there a reason we shouldn't?

712
00:43:07,133 --> 00:43:09,169
- Maybe you and I should get together?
- Denny.

713
00:43:09,333 --> 00:43:11,005
We plan on an open-door marriage.

714
00:43:11,173 --> 00:43:12,401
My card.

715
00:43:12,773 --> 00:43:14,684
You're heterosexual.

716
00:43:14,853 --> 00:43:16,411
Are you heterosexual?

717
00:43:17,093 --> 00:43:18,845
Is that a problem?

718
00:43:19,413 --> 00:43:21,210
He completes me.

719
00:43:23,413 --> 00:43:24,402
You're getting married?

720
00:43:24,573 --> 00:43:26,291
- Is that wrong?
- Yes.

721
00:43:26,453 --> 00:43:28,523
- Why?
- Well, it's a sham, Alan.

722
00:43:28,693 --> 00:43:29,682
It is not a sham.

723
00:43:29,853 --> 00:43:32,606
It is no different than two people
who aren't really in love...

724
00:43:32,773 --> 00:43:34,206
...marrying for a green card.

725
00:43:34,373 --> 00:43:36,682
First of all, I love Denny,
I believe he loves me...

726
00:43:36,853 --> 00:43:39,162
...and there's no requirement
a couple be in love.

727
00:43:39,333 --> 00:43:41,483
In fact, given the current divorce rate...

728
00:43:41,653 --> 00:43:44,451
...one might say the most
insidious problem with marriage...

729
00:43:44,613 --> 00:43:47,411
...is that people make life-altering
decisions while in love.

730
00:43:47,573 --> 00:43:51,612
It's a drug, a toxic one at that,
and scientifically proven to wear off.

731
00:43:51,773 --> 00:43:53,729
What's toxic is your cynicism.

732
00:43:53,893 --> 00:43:56,282
I think your little scheme is dishonest.

733
00:43:56,453 --> 00:43:57,681
You've been testy of late.

734
00:43:57,853 --> 00:43:59,684
- Do all brides get ornery?
- L...

735
00:43:59,853 --> 00:44:01,605
You know, let's just move on, shall we?

736
00:44:01,773 --> 00:44:05,402
As you know, the sale
of the firm to Tsu International...

737
00:44:05,573 --> 00:44:07,006
...has been finalized.

738
00:44:07,173 --> 00:44:10,882
A new head of litigation is to be
appointed, ostensibly to watchdog us.

739
00:44:11,053 --> 00:44:13,089
I certainly like
the new direction of the firm.

740
00:44:14,053 --> 00:44:17,011
I have a document for a
Mr. Shore and Mr. Crane.

741
00:44:17,173 --> 00:44:18,925
I'll take it. Thank you.

742
00:44:22,093 --> 00:44:24,448
- You've gotta be kidding me.
- What is it?

743
00:44:24,613 --> 00:44:26,365
Notice of an injunction proceeding...

744
00:44:26,533 --> 00:44:29,684
...seeking to stop Denny and me
from getting married.

745
00:44:29,853 --> 00:44:32,572
- What?
- That city hall clerk must've ratted us out.

746
00:44:32,733 --> 00:44:34,052
Who's filing?

747
00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:36,681
The Massachusetts Chapter
of the Gay and Lesbian League.

748
00:44:36,853 --> 00:44:38,366
- Excuse me?
- Of all the hypocrisy.

749
00:44:38,533 --> 00:44:41,252
Katie, pull up whatever law
you can on same-sex marriage.

750
00:44:41,413 --> 00:44:43,449
Jerry and I'll focus
on the Supreme Court case.

751
00:44:43,613 --> 00:44:45,763
- As if we haven't got enough to do.
- Are we done?

752
00:44:46,533 --> 00:44:48,444
Uh, we have one more item.

753
00:44:53,813 --> 00:44:57,362
The new management has decided
to change the name of the firm.

754
00:44:58,893 --> 00:45:00,372
To what?

755
00:45:00,533 --> 00:45:03,047
Let me just preface this
by saying that personally...

756
00:45:03,213 --> 00:45:06,011
...I want my name off the firm, so...

757
00:45:06,173 --> 00:45:07,447
To what?

758
00:45:10,413 --> 00:45:12,449
Chang, Poole & Schmidt.

759
00:45:18,013 --> 00:45:19,651
Chang, Poole & Schmidt?

760
00:45:19,813 --> 00:45:24,204
I simply don't understand the logic.

761
00:45:24,493 --> 00:45:26,370
Your name has such recognition value.

762
00:45:26,533 --> 00:45:28,444
I've destroyed it, haven't I?

763
00:45:28,613 --> 00:45:30,285
- My name.
- No, you haven't.

764
00:45:31,173 --> 00:45:34,927
You know, half the stuff I do, the...

765
00:45:36,533 --> 00:45:38,967
Nonsense with the sex and...

766
00:45:41,893 --> 00:45:45,647
It's to appear colorful
and larger than life.

767
00:45:46,453 --> 00:45:49,251
To distract people...

768
00:45:50,053 --> 00:45:52,886
...from how truly small I've become.

769
00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:58,529
I'm not about to let you sulk
and ruin my wedding day.

770
00:46:00,253 --> 00:46:02,209
We'll open our own firm.
We don't need them.

771
00:46:02,373 --> 00:46:03,488
We'll overturn it.

772
00:46:03,653 --> 00:46:07,168
Supreme Court will never side
with the Chinese on this. No way.

773
00:46:10,413 --> 00:46:13,246
Denny, we're going to the
Supreme Court to get the drug.

774
00:46:13,893 --> 00:46:17,010
I know that. I was just saying.

775
00:46:21,973 --> 00:46:23,292
Well?

776
00:46:25,813 --> 00:46:29,772
He now says that he might marry us,
but not in the church...

777
00:46:29,933 --> 00:46:31,491
...which is what I wanted most.

778
00:46:31,893 --> 00:46:33,372
All right, so we find another church.

779
00:46:33,533 --> 00:46:36,923
Uh, Carl, did you think
it was really the smartest idea...

780
00:46:37,093 --> 00:46:39,323
...to bring in that particular rabbi?

781
00:46:39,493 --> 00:46:41,723
- What do you mean?
- Well, he's a flaming bigot.

782
00:46:42,173 --> 00:46:44,687
I mean, the Catholics are responsible
for the Holocaust?

783
00:46:44,853 --> 00:46:46,445
He didn't say they were responsible.

784
00:46:46,613 --> 00:46:48,649
He said they turned their backs,
which is true.

785
00:46:48,813 --> 00:46:51,885
Can we discuss the priest's little gem?
Israel doesn't need to exist?

786
00:46:52,053 --> 00:46:54,203
- Well, that's a political argument.
- Political?

787
00:46:54,373 --> 00:46:56,648
Yes, and many people have expressed it.

788
00:46:56,813 --> 00:46:59,407
Palestinians living in Israel
will soon outnumber the Jews.

789
00:46:59,573 --> 00:47:01,484
The idea of it continuing
as a Jewish state.

790
00:47:01,653 --> 00:47:03,132
I can't believe I'm hearing this.

791
00:47:03,293 --> 00:47:05,727
- Well, certainly you've heard it before.
- Not from you.

792
00:47:05,893 --> 00:47:07,849
- I'm not supporting the idea.
- Oh, no.

793
00:47:08,013 --> 00:47:10,527
- But you're defending a priest.
- Do not raise your voice.

794
00:47:10,693 --> 00:47:13,161
- You're calling a rabbi a bigot?
- Yeah, a big one.

795
00:47:13,333 --> 00:47:15,085
First, Chinese, now Jews? Who's next?

796
00:47:15,253 --> 00:47:16,572
You. Get out.

797
00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:18,849
Oh, with pleasure.

798
00:47:24,213 --> 00:47:26,363
So basically,
this marriage is all about money.

799
00:47:26,533 --> 00:47:28,444
Judge,
I would guess a lot of marriages are.

800
00:47:28,613 --> 00:47:30,604
If you trace the institution
to its origins...

801
00:47:30,773 --> 00:47:33,207
...you'll discover marriage
had its roots in economics.

802
00:47:33,373 --> 00:47:35,170
- Not love, money.
- I find it offensive.

803
00:47:35,333 --> 00:47:36,925
- Why?
- I'll tell you why.

804
00:47:37,093 --> 00:47:38,924
Speaking as a gay man...

805
00:47:39,093 --> 00:47:41,732
...we have had to fight
long and hard for this right.

806
00:47:41,893 --> 00:47:44,453
We have suffered ridicule,
hatred, gay bashing.

807
00:47:44,613 --> 00:47:46,843
Preaching to the all boys choir.
We're with you.

808
00:47:47,013 --> 00:47:49,163
- You're making a mockery.
- Doing no such thing.

809
00:47:49,333 --> 00:47:51,085
- You're blatant heterosexuals.
- So what?

810
00:47:51,253 --> 00:47:53,403
Are you proposing a rule
that every couple...

811
00:47:53,573 --> 00:47:56,531
...be sexually active? Because
that one's been used against you.

812
00:47:56,733 --> 00:47:59,167
Your Honor,
this is exactly what the religious right...

813
00:47:59,333 --> 00:48:01,563
...and conservative
movements have been warning of.

814
00:48:01,733 --> 00:48:03,724
If we allow same-sex marriage,
what next?

815
00:48:03,893 --> 00:48:05,565
Well, this is what's next.

816
00:48:05,733 --> 00:48:08,850
You will see people exploiting
same-sex unions to circumvent...

817
00:48:09,013 --> 00:48:10,924
- You hypocrite.
- All right.

818
00:48:11,093 --> 00:48:13,732
He's suggesting
we go into some kind of discovery...

819
00:48:13,893 --> 00:48:16,123
...as to why two people want to marry.

820
00:48:16,293 --> 00:48:20,286
- The very kind of invasive legisla...
- This does seem a bit cynical.

821
00:48:20,453 --> 00:48:25,163
You are basically wanting to marry
Denny Crane to skirt tax laws.

822
00:48:25,333 --> 00:48:29,246
Your Honor, in this day and age,
the preservation of wealth is paramount.

823
00:48:29,413 --> 00:48:30,528
And I'm sorry.

824
00:48:30,693 --> 00:48:34,083
Before I see Mr. Crane's money
go to fund immoral wars...

825
00:48:34,253 --> 00:48:37,245
...or less moral government bailouts,
I'd rather see it go to me.

826
00:48:37,413 --> 00:48:39,643
The plans I have for it
are far more philanthropic.

827
00:48:39,813 --> 00:48:41,451
And by the way, I love him, okay?

828
00:48:41,613 --> 00:48:44,047
I love the man, he loves me,
we're partners.

829
00:48:44,213 --> 00:48:47,569
To say that we cannot get married
because we don't have sex...

830
00:48:47,733 --> 00:48:51,442
...is just as preposterous and bigoted...

831
00:48:51,613 --> 00:48:54,810
...as banning marriage based on
who a person chooses to have sex with.

832
00:48:54,973 --> 00:48:58,204
He will be fueling the fire
to pass a constitutional ban against...

833
00:48:58,373 --> 00:48:59,931
You're the one stoking the embers.

834
00:49:00,093 --> 00:49:02,846
This isn't just about money.
There are medical reasons.

835
00:49:03,013 --> 00:49:05,163
He happens to be suffering
an incurable illness...

836
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:07,483
- You can do that by proxy.
- He doesn't want to.

837
00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:09,166
He wants a partner.

838
00:49:09,333 --> 00:49:11,005
- A legal spouse.
- Why?

839
00:49:11,173 --> 00:49:13,243
That's his prerogative, his privacy.

840
00:49:13,413 --> 00:49:15,881
- You seek to invade that too?
I've heard the arguments.

841
00:49:16,573 --> 00:49:18,325
Let me take an hour and I will decide.

842
00:49:18,693 --> 00:49:20,923
You have no idea
what you'll be stirring up.

843
00:49:21,093 --> 00:49:22,526
All right.

844
00:49:34,213 --> 00:49:36,010
Is she not beautiful?

845
00:49:36,173 --> 00:49:37,162
Who is she?

846
00:49:37,333 --> 00:49:39,608
Opposing counsel.
She's arguing for the government.

847
00:49:39,773 --> 00:49:41,570
Flying in from Tennessee. It's all good.

848
00:49:41,733 --> 00:49:45,203
She's hot, and doctors say blood flow
in any direction's good for my brain.

849
00:49:45,373 --> 00:49:47,523
Are you packed?
We're going from court to airport.

850
00:49:47,693 --> 00:49:49,684
Will you stop nagging?
We're not married yet.

851
00:49:49,853 --> 00:49:51,650
Just get packed.

852
00:50:03,773 --> 00:50:05,365
This is crazy.

853
00:50:05,533 --> 00:50:07,364
Neither of us are very religious people.

854
00:50:07,533 --> 00:50:09,091
We've never talked about it before.

855
00:50:09,253 --> 00:50:11,687
Why are we letting this nonsense
stand in our way?

856
00:50:11,853 --> 00:50:14,845
Well,
most people don't talk about religion.

857
00:50:15,013 --> 00:50:19,325
And it doesn't enter into our daily lives,
but it is nevertheless a value.

858
00:50:19,493 --> 00:50:23,168
And it's obvious that you and I
have different values, Carl.

859
00:50:23,333 --> 00:50:24,766
Religion's not a value.

860
00:50:24,933 --> 00:50:26,889
Spirituality, yes. Belief in God, okay.

861
00:50:27,053 --> 00:50:30,011
But religion itself? It's a discipline.

862
00:50:30,173 --> 00:50:32,971
One that pretends to be about love,
family and charity often...

863
00:50:33,133 --> 00:50:35,488
...is a vehicle of hatred and war.

864
00:50:35,653 --> 00:50:38,292
It's stirring a little war right now
between you and me.

865
00:50:39,013 --> 00:50:41,481
And it really pisses me off...

866
00:50:41,653 --> 00:50:44,611
...that it is politically incorrect
to celebrate Christmas...

867
00:50:44,773 --> 00:50:49,210
...but you get all your
Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah...

868
00:50:49,373 --> 00:50:50,362
...Hanukkah, Passover.

869
00:50:50,533 --> 00:50:52,603
My God, you have a gazillion of them.

870
00:51:06,333 --> 00:51:07,607
Paul.

871
00:51:07,773 --> 00:51:09,684
A little bit of good news.

872
00:51:09,853 --> 00:51:13,402
The dreaded monster
that they're bringing in...

873
00:51:13,573 --> 00:51:15,291
...to oversee litigation.

874
00:51:15,973 --> 00:51:18,043
- Do we know who it is?
We do.

875
00:51:19,013 --> 00:51:20,366
- Me.
- Ah.

876
00:51:20,533 --> 00:51:22,967
For whatever reason,
I seem to have their trust.

877
00:51:23,133 --> 00:51:24,725
Well, that... That is good news.

878
00:51:25,573 --> 00:51:27,131
Yes.

879
00:51:29,253 --> 00:51:30,686
Is there bad news?

880
00:51:33,013 --> 00:51:35,288
Shirley, I don't think I can save Denny.

881
00:51:39,333 --> 00:51:43,804
Well, then it's a moot point
fighting for me, or Alan or Carl.

882
00:51:43,973 --> 00:51:45,884
Probably Jerry, maybe Katie.

883
00:51:46,053 --> 00:51:48,248
- Lf you talked to the others...
- I won't.

884
00:51:50,093 --> 00:51:51,572
Shirley, come on.

885
00:51:51,733 --> 00:51:54,008
- We've got to face it, Denny...
- Could get better.

886
00:51:55,573 --> 00:51:59,248
If he gets this drug,
it is showing a lot of promise.

887
00:51:59,413 --> 00:52:00,528
Denny could improve.

888
00:52:05,293 --> 00:52:06,442
All right, look.

889
00:52:06,613 --> 00:52:09,366
I do find this union
to be primarily based on money.

890
00:52:10,053 --> 00:52:11,850
I also agree with Mr. Pinnard.

891
00:52:12,013 --> 00:52:16,643
This is the exact kind of exploitation
the Christian right and others fear.

892
00:52:16,813 --> 00:52:20,965
But I also recognize
people marry for all sorts of reasons.

893
00:52:21,133 --> 00:52:23,328
It's not the government's place
to ask why.

894
00:52:24,133 --> 00:52:27,170
Mr. Pinnard, there are many gays
who marry heterosexuals.

895
00:52:27,853 --> 00:52:30,208
Also gays who marry gays
of the opposite sex...

896
00:52:30,373 --> 00:52:32,170
...because they wanna start a family.

897
00:52:32,333 --> 00:52:33,732
Be co-parents.

898
00:52:33,893 --> 00:52:35,565
Nothing to do with romantic love.

899
00:52:35,973 --> 00:52:39,682
I hardly think you believe the government
should step in and stop that.

900
00:52:39,853 --> 00:52:42,890
Same-sex unions are legal
in Massachusetts.

901
00:52:43,053 --> 00:52:44,930
Your motion for an injunction is denied.

902
00:52:51,333 --> 00:52:53,051
The dock on Nimmo Bay.

903
00:52:53,213 --> 00:52:54,407
We'll go directly from D.C.

904
00:52:54,573 --> 00:52:58,168
We're gonna need somebody from
Massachusetts to perform the ceremony.

905
00:52:58,333 --> 00:53:01,211
Your Honor,
by any chance, do you like to fish?

906
00:53:04,053 --> 00:53:06,442
You can keep the others
if you feel it is warranted.

907
00:53:06,613 --> 00:53:08,410
But Denny Crane absolutely must go.

908
00:53:08,573 --> 00:53:11,645
The lawyers here
are extremely loyal to him.

909
00:53:13,253 --> 00:53:14,845
It doesn't matter.

910
00:53:15,013 --> 00:53:16,765
The man is mentally unbalanced.

911
00:53:16,933 --> 00:53:19,652
A danger to himself and others,
and can't be allowed to stay.

912
00:53:19,813 --> 00:53:24,125
I will tell you this right now. I would
not want to risk losing Alan Shore.

913
00:53:24,293 --> 00:53:25,362
Alan Shore.

914
00:53:25,533 --> 00:53:28,286
- Mr. Shore.
- Mr. Shore needs to be reined in.

915
00:53:29,053 --> 00:53:31,567
We understand he's a brilliant attorney.

916
00:53:31,733 --> 00:53:34,850
But he is undisciplined,
and also needs overseeing.

917
00:53:36,293 --> 00:53:38,807
We are not afraid to lose him
if we must, in time.

918
00:53:56,293 --> 00:53:58,966
Shouldn't we go up to the room?
We've got a big day tomorrow.

919
00:53:59,133 --> 00:54:01,010
I don't wanna look puffy
on my wedding day.

920
00:54:01,173 --> 00:54:03,164
Let's get a nightcap.
It'll settle our nerves.

921
00:54:03,333 --> 00:54:05,244
- I hear Hillary comes here.
- Denny, she is...

922
00:54:05,413 --> 00:54:08,132
I just want to meet her once
before you and I...

923
00:54:08,773 --> 00:54:10,604
You know, I think she'd like me.

924
00:54:10,773 --> 00:54:12,331
I have a feeling about us.

925
00:54:12,493 --> 00:54:13,892
- You and Hillary?
- Yeah.

926
00:54:14,053 --> 00:54:15,486
We're bo...

927
00:54:16,053 --> 00:54:17,611
- What?
- It's her.

928
00:54:17,773 --> 00:54:19,968
- Hillary?
- Uh...

929
00:54:20,853 --> 00:54:23,162
Wonder Girl from Tennessee.
She's at the bar.

930
00:54:23,813 --> 00:54:25,451
Bet she's staying at the same hotel.

931
00:54:25,613 --> 00:54:26,841
What are you doing?

932
00:54:27,013 --> 00:54:30,130
If I could make her see me as a human,
she'll have mercy on our case...

933
00:54:30,293 --> 00:54:33,524
She won't see you as human. You reveal
yourself to be the animal you are.

934
00:54:33,693 --> 00:54:35,684
- Give me some credit, will you?
- I'm going up.

935
00:54:35,853 --> 00:54:37,491
- Got too much to go over.
- See you.

936
00:54:37,653 --> 00:54:41,202
Denny, don't say anything to that woman
that she can use against us tomorrow.

937
00:54:41,373 --> 00:54:42,931
I won't.

938
00:54:43,093 --> 00:54:44,287
Tsk.

939
00:54:50,373 --> 00:54:51,931
Double Scotch.

940
00:54:54,493 --> 00:54:55,812
Mitch Shoemaker, hello.

941
00:54:55,973 --> 00:54:59,010
It'd be a pleasure to meet you
if I had time. Unfortunately, I don't.

942
00:55:00,133 --> 00:55:02,203
Thanks, whatever she's drinking.
- She's not.

943
00:55:04,773 --> 00:55:08,561
Look, I'm not hitting on you.
I'm old enough to be your grandfather.

944
00:55:09,413 --> 00:55:11,290
In fact,
you remind me of my granddaughter.

945
00:55:12,253 --> 00:55:13,686
Have you got a grandpa?

946
00:55:13,853 --> 00:55:15,445
Is he in good health?

947
00:55:15,613 --> 00:55:17,729
- Lot of them aren't.
- Mitch, uh...

948
00:55:19,693 --> 00:55:22,924
Can I call you Mitch? Because
you look more like a Denny to me.

949
00:55:24,733 --> 00:55:26,963
- How'd you know?
- You're very famous.

950
00:55:27,893 --> 00:55:30,532
Well, I won't bore you
with my usual nonsense.

951
00:55:30,693 --> 00:55:33,253
You seem like a very nice young lady.

952
00:55:33,413 --> 00:55:37,167
- I have, um, Alzheimer's disease.
- You're not alone.

953
00:55:37,333 --> 00:55:40,609
Over 5 million Americans do,
including my own grandmother.

954
00:55:41,573 --> 00:55:43,165
So you know.

955
00:55:43,333 --> 00:55:47,849
How can you take the position
you're taking if you know?

956
00:55:48,013 --> 00:55:50,846
I would think you'd want your
grandmother to have Dimebolin.

957
00:55:51,013 --> 00:55:53,811
Have you read the data?
It helps with cognition, memory.

958
00:55:54,413 --> 00:55:55,607
Could be a lifesaver.

959
00:55:55,773 --> 00:55:57,889
And it's only completed two trials.

960
00:55:58,213 --> 00:56:00,886
There's still a lot of testing
that needs to be done.

961
00:56:01,893 --> 00:56:03,804
What stage is she in, your grandma?

962
00:56:05,333 --> 00:56:06,652
Three.

963
00:56:06,813 --> 00:56:09,611
Then she's lucid enough to know
what you'll be arguing tomorrow.

964
00:56:10,053 --> 00:56:12,613
I'm not going to discuss
my family with you, Mr. Crane.

965
00:56:13,293 --> 00:56:14,362
What I can tell you...

966
00:56:15,573 --> 00:56:18,690
...there's a very human face
on every one of those 5 million people.

967
00:56:18,853 --> 00:56:19,968
Including you.

968
00:56:20,133 --> 00:56:23,682
And tomorrow,
I'll be fighting for all of them.

969
00:56:23,853 --> 00:56:25,047
Including you.

970
00:56:27,613 --> 00:56:29,490
Good night, Mr. Crane.

971
00:56:29,853 --> 00:56:31,332
I'll see you in the Great Hall.

972
00:56:41,413 --> 00:56:44,769
Oyez, oyez, oyez.

973
00:56:44,933 --> 00:56:47,242
All persons having business
before the Honorable...

974
00:56:47,413 --> 00:56:50,052
- Do you think they remember us?
- How could they not?

975
00:56:51,653 --> 00:56:52,847
Look at Ginsberg.

976
00:56:54,013 --> 00:56:55,492
Does the woman not want me?

977
00:56:56,253 --> 00:56:58,050
The woman's in heat.

978
00:56:58,213 --> 00:57:00,773
Clarence looks like he wants you too,
Denny.

979
00:57:00,933 --> 00:57:02,412
Check out Scalia.

980
00:57:02,573 --> 00:57:04,404
Cheery McChuckles.

981
00:57:06,693 --> 00:57:09,253
Alito looks glad to see us.

982
00:57:09,653 --> 00:57:11,325
God, it's good to be back.

983
00:57:13,093 --> 00:57:15,084
All right, Ms. Brooks,
let's start with you.

984
00:57:15,253 --> 00:57:17,483
Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice.

985
00:57:20,853 --> 00:57:22,764
May it please the court.

986
00:57:23,053 --> 00:57:25,726
The right of the terminally ill
to use experimental drugs...

987
00:57:25,893 --> 00:57:27,849
...is nowhere guaranteed
in our Constitution.

988
00:57:28,013 --> 00:57:31,323
So what? Does every right have
to be bestowed by the Constitution?

989
00:57:31,653 --> 00:57:35,646
Certainly not, but in the absence of any
law or legislative intent, which provides...

990
00:57:35,813 --> 00:57:39,044
Come on, counsel. If this man's dying
of an incurable disease...

991
00:57:39,213 --> 00:57:41,090
...why not give him
the unapproved drug?

992
00:57:41,253 --> 00:57:42,242
Who does it hurt?

993
00:57:42,413 --> 00:57:44,881
First of all,
Mr. Crane is not necessarily terminal...

994
00:57:45,053 --> 00:57:47,283
You know something about Alzheimer's
we don't?

995
00:57:47,453 --> 00:57:49,603
I know the disease
can take unpredictable courses.

996
00:57:49,773 --> 00:57:52,367
- Particularly to progression.
- All with the same ending.

997
00:57:52,533 --> 00:57:55,331
The FDA bans experimental drug use
with good reason.

998
00:57:55,493 --> 00:57:57,643
Because this
does not just involve the patient.

999
00:57:57,813 --> 00:58:00,202
If untested drugs are suddenly
made available...

1000
00:58:00,373 --> 00:58:03,251
...people will forego entering
into clinical drug trials.

1001
00:58:03,413 --> 00:58:06,962
Promising drugs might not be studied
and therefore never reach the market.

1002
00:58:07,133 --> 00:58:09,693
- That hurts...
- Over 5 million people have Alzheimer's.

1003
00:58:10,053 --> 00:58:13,090
Something tells me we'd have plenty
of subjects for clinical trials.

1004
00:58:13,253 --> 00:58:16,609
With all due respect, Justice Scalia,
if people can simply buy the drug...

1005
00:58:16,773 --> 00:58:20,209
...they won't enter a clinical study
where they could risk getting a placebo.

1006
00:58:20,373 --> 00:58:23,888
Why shouldn't a person have a right
to medical self-defense?

1007
00:58:24,053 --> 00:58:25,725
This court rejected that right in...

1008
00:58:25,893 --> 00:58:28,885
In marijuana cases where there
were other treatments available.

1009
00:58:29,053 --> 00:58:32,887
We let women abort viable fetuses
to protect their own lives.

1010
00:58:33,053 --> 00:58:36,932
A person may shoot an attacker dead
in self-defense.

1011
00:58:37,093 --> 00:58:40,688
Shouldn't this man be able
to take a drug to save himself?

1012
00:58:40,853 --> 00:58:44,050
- Especially if, uh, it's his only hope?
- No.

1013
00:58:44,453 --> 00:58:47,126
First of all, dying people
are willing to assume any risk...

1014
00:58:47,293 --> 00:58:51,332
...including taking dangerous, untested
drugs, which could kill them sooner.

1015
00:58:51,493 --> 00:58:52,926
But again, what's the downside?

1016
00:58:53,093 --> 00:58:56,529
The downside is clinical trials
get shortchanged, interfered with.

1017
00:58:56,693 --> 00:58:59,287
The safety and efficacy
of these drugs is at stake.

1018
00:58:59,453 --> 00:59:01,523
Not to mention millions of lives.

1019
00:59:03,933 --> 00:59:05,730
My grandmother has Alzheimer's.

1020
00:59:06,693 --> 00:59:08,445
She's one of those 5 million people.

1021
00:59:08,853 --> 00:59:11,731
She sits at home waiting for a cure.

1022
00:59:11,893 --> 00:59:15,886
Desperate for FDA approval, which could
very well be delayed by letting...

1023
00:59:19,893 --> 00:59:22,851
We've seen
how pharmaceutical companies work.

1024
00:59:23,133 --> 00:59:26,205
It's not about finding cures
so much as it is finding markets.

1025
00:59:26,373 --> 00:59:27,488
Selling.

1026
00:59:27,653 --> 00:59:30,486
If they get to peddle
promising but untested drugs...

1027
00:59:30,653 --> 00:59:32,609
...we all know they'll do it.

1028
00:59:32,773 --> 00:59:34,604
Drugs that engender false hopes.

1029
00:59:34,773 --> 00:59:37,890
Ones with higher profit margins
if they get to skip the testing.

1030
00:59:38,213 --> 00:59:41,330
Investors will pump their money
into snake oils that dress up well.

1031
00:59:41,493 --> 00:59:43,006
This is not a scrupulous industry.

1032
00:59:43,493 --> 00:59:46,212
They most certainly don't deserve a pass
on clinical trials.

1033
00:59:46,373 --> 00:59:50,366
And that is what will effectively happen
if untested drugs are okayed by this court.

1034
00:59:51,293 --> 00:59:52,612
This woman is good.

1035
01:00:07,133 --> 01:00:10,648
Would you forgive a bridezilla going
a little nuts during her wedding week?

1036
01:00:16,253 --> 01:00:18,209
I'm sorry, Carl.

1037
01:00:21,573 --> 01:00:23,609
I wanted to get married in a church.

1038
01:00:24,973 --> 01:00:28,727
I wanted everything to be so perfect...

1039
01:00:28,893 --> 01:00:34,126
...because I'm marrying the greatest man
I have ever known and loved.

1040
01:00:34,293 --> 01:00:37,888
And do you still want me?

1041
01:00:39,053 --> 01:00:40,247
Of course I want you.

1042
01:00:46,693 --> 01:00:49,969
If you wanna raise the kids Jewish,
I'm okay with that.

1043
01:00:50,133 --> 01:00:52,567
Even with all the gazillions of holidays?

1044
01:00:55,333 --> 01:01:00,123
The only thing I really care about,
I do wanna celebrate Christmas.

1045
01:01:00,293 --> 01:01:04,047
But there's one thing I really care about.

1046
01:01:04,213 --> 01:01:07,444
And that is getting to spend
the rest of my life with you.

1047
01:01:07,613 --> 01:01:10,127
So if you want to elope, let's do it.

1048
01:01:12,093 --> 01:01:14,049
I talked to Denny.

1049
01:01:14,653 --> 01:01:16,325
He and Alan have a judge.

1050
01:01:16,493 --> 01:01:19,087
And they're flying up to Nimmo Bay
to get married.

1051
01:01:19,253 --> 01:01:20,572
He proposes we join.

1052
01:01:21,093 --> 01:01:22,685
Make it a joint ceremony.

1053
01:01:23,613 --> 01:01:24,966
Maybe we should.

1054
01:01:25,133 --> 01:01:26,532
Oh, yes.

1055
01:01:26,693 --> 01:01:28,365
I had my heart set on a church.

1056
01:01:28,533 --> 01:01:30,489
But failing that, a fishing lodge.

1057
01:01:30,853 --> 01:01:34,687
It's not just a fishing lodge, I'm told.

1058
01:01:34,853 --> 01:01:37,970
Shirley, we could be married
by this time Saturday.

1059
01:01:40,293 --> 01:01:43,330
You've certainly come a long way,
Mr. Fuddy-Duddy.

1060
01:01:44,453 --> 01:01:47,013
Golly, who knows how much longer
we'll all be together?

1061
01:01:49,733 --> 01:01:51,769
A road trip could be fun.

1062
01:01:55,733 --> 01:01:59,408
We already have a problem in this country
of rushing unsafe drugs to the market.

1063
01:01:59,573 --> 01:02:00,608
It's epidemic.

1064
01:02:00,773 --> 01:02:03,810
And as soon as we allow patients,
especially the desperate ones...

1065
01:02:03,973 --> 01:02:07,329
...to exempt drugs from testing,
it is going to get exponentially worse.

1066
01:02:07,773 --> 01:02:10,367
Fewer people will be saved.
Rather, more will die.

1067
01:02:10,533 --> 01:02:13,605
Science trumped by false hope
and permissive advertising.

1068
01:02:13,773 --> 01:02:15,968
Miss Brooks, the red light has been on.

1069
01:02:16,133 --> 01:02:17,885
- Lf I could just add...
- No.

1070
01:02:18,053 --> 01:02:19,884
You've exceeded your limit.

1071
01:02:21,413 --> 01:02:23,643
You should get a little band
to play people off.

1072
01:02:23,813 --> 01:02:26,122
You know, like the Oscars or the Emmys.

1073
01:02:28,733 --> 01:02:30,291
Just a thought.

1074
01:02:39,013 --> 01:02:43,006
Okay. Before we even get
started, let's be clear on a few things.

1075
01:02:43,173 --> 01:02:46,290
This time, you will conduct yourself
in a manner befitting this court.

1076
01:02:46,773 --> 01:02:49,082
You will address only the issues
before this court...

1077
01:02:49,253 --> 01:02:53,326
...and not derail yourself with a spiraling
rant that serves no purpose other than...

1078
01:02:55,333 --> 01:02:56,925
What is that?

1079
01:02:57,093 --> 01:02:59,402
Oh, I am very sorry.

1080
01:02:59,973 --> 01:03:04,125
I have a tendency to not notice
the little red light.

1081
01:03:04,493 --> 01:03:07,690
So I programmed my tie to also alert me
when I've been talking too long.

1082
01:03:07,853 --> 01:03:09,332
My tie thinks that you have.

1083
01:03:09,493 --> 01:03:11,643
- Though personally, I...
- Turn it off.

1084
01:03:11,813 --> 01:03:13,326
- Right now.
- Yes, sir.

1085
01:03:17,333 --> 01:03:18,607
We go way back.

1086
01:03:18,773 --> 01:03:21,526
Okay, Mr. Shore,
your time is starting right now.

1087
01:03:21,693 --> 01:03:23,172
Use it wisely.

1088
01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:24,766
Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice.

1089
01:03:24,933 --> 01:03:27,925
Let me begin by extending
a special greeting to Justice Thomas.

1090
01:03:28,093 --> 01:03:29,446
Justice Thomas.

1091
01:03:30,853 --> 01:03:32,445
Still the Chatty Cathy. Okay.

1092
01:03:32,853 --> 01:03:33,842
Where to begin?

1093
01:03:34,013 --> 01:03:35,412
Let's begin with your brief...

1094
01:03:35,573 --> 01:03:37,404
...which was conspicuously
thin on case law.

1095
01:03:37,573 --> 01:03:39,643
Because most of the case law
doesn't support us.

1096
01:03:39,813 --> 01:03:42,964
But this court isn't that big
on precedent anyway. Am I right?

1097
01:03:43,133 --> 01:03:44,930
We've had 200 years
of the Supreme Court.

1098
01:03:45,093 --> 01:03:47,004
Not one found a right to bear arms.

1099
01:03:47,173 --> 01:03:49,289
But you happen to like guns.
So, what the hell?

1100
01:03:49,453 --> 01:03:51,683
Established case law also tells us...

1101
01:03:51,853 --> 01:03:53,969
...that torture and denial of due process
are bad.

1102
01:03:54,133 --> 01:03:56,203
But you favor both.
So on the Guantanamo case...

1103
01:03:56,373 --> 01:03:58,933
...you people throw out
precedent with the morning trash.

1104
01:03:59,093 --> 01:04:00,128
Mr. Shore, I'm curious.

1105
01:04:00,293 --> 01:04:01,282
That, I didn't know.

1106
01:04:01,453 --> 01:04:03,250
What could possibly possess you...

1107
01:04:03,413 --> 01:04:05,085
...to want to come in here
and be cocky?

1108
01:04:05,253 --> 01:04:07,164
Do you think this helps your client?

1109
01:04:07,893 --> 01:04:12,284
Actually, the reason I am a little cocky
is because...

1110
01:04:12,453 --> 01:04:15,172
...my client, Denny Crane,
is the little guy here.

1111
01:04:15,333 --> 01:04:17,483
And the Supreme Court
of the United States...

1112
01:04:17,653 --> 01:04:20,963
...has always, always stood up
for the little guy...

1113
01:04:21,133 --> 01:04:22,691
...as they did for Oliver Brown...

1114
01:04:22,853 --> 01:04:25,413
...a black man who fought
for his third-grade daughter...

1115
01:04:25,573 --> 01:04:27,928
...to go to the same school
as her best friend...

1116
01:04:28,093 --> 01:04:29,082
...who was white.

1117
01:04:29,253 --> 01:04:31,005
Though, this particular Supreme Court...

1118
01:04:31,173 --> 01:04:33,289
<i>...has gutted
Brown v. Board of Education...</i>

1119
01:04:33,453 --> 01:04:35,330
...because precedent, who needs it, but...

1120
01:04:35,493 --> 01:04:39,088
Counsel, I gave you an express directive
to stick to this case.

1121
01:04:39,253 --> 01:04:42,051
Yes, getting to it, Your Honor.

1122
01:04:42,213 --> 01:04:45,888
I happen to know the little guy is due
in this court. That's why I'm confident.

1123
01:04:46,053 --> 01:04:49,045
The little guy has been taking
such a beating of late in this room.

1124
01:04:49,213 --> 01:04:50,532
I just know he's due.

1125
01:04:50,693 --> 01:04:53,332
Oh, you think the little guy
loses out with us?

1126
01:04:53,493 --> 01:04:55,324
Don't you? Come on.

1127
01:04:55,493 --> 01:04:58,007
Enron, the makers of medical devices,
the tobacco industry...

1128
01:04:58,173 --> 01:04:59,811
...has done very well here.

1129
01:04:59,973 --> 01:05:03,010
This court heard seven antitrust cases
in its first two terms...

1130
01:05:03,173 --> 01:05:04,606
...and decided all of them...

1131
01:05:04,773 --> 01:05:06,570
...in favor of big corporate defendants.

1132
01:05:06,733 --> 01:05:09,247
The biggest player,
the government, always seems to win.

1133
01:05:09,413 --> 01:05:11,643
Then on the other end
of that particular seesaw...

1134
01:05:11,813 --> 01:05:15,328
...we have the losers,
the criminal defendants, forget it.

1135
01:05:15,493 --> 01:05:19,008
My God, just last month you turned down
a stay of execution for a Georgia man...

1136
01:05:19,173 --> 01:05:22,006
...even though seven of the nine
prosecution witnesses recanted.

1137
01:05:22,173 --> 01:05:24,084
You couldn't be bothered
with his innocence.

1138
01:05:24,253 --> 01:05:25,242
Maybe you had plans.

1139
01:05:25,413 --> 01:05:28,769
Any time you want to weigh in, Justice
Thomas, just give me a little wave.

1140
01:05:29,373 --> 01:05:32,285
Counsel, I have plans. Today.

1141
01:05:32,453 --> 01:05:34,569
I have a flight
booked at 1:00 for a vacation...

1142
01:05:34,733 --> 01:05:37,088
...which I have looked forward to
for a long, long time.

1143
01:05:37,533 --> 01:05:39,285
And I will make that flight, counsel.

1144
01:05:39,453 --> 01:05:42,047
- As soon as that red light blinks...
- Yes, Your Honor.

1145
01:05:42,213 --> 01:05:45,489
I promise, you'll be out of here
and on vacation in a jiffy.

1146
01:05:45,653 --> 01:05:49,168
I give you permission to stay away
for as long as you like.

1147
01:05:49,573 --> 01:05:51,723
But, first,
there's this matter of the little guy.

1148
01:05:51,893 --> 01:05:53,531
He's here in your courtroom.

1149
01:05:53,693 --> 01:05:55,888
And he's due for a win.

1150
01:05:56,293 --> 01:05:57,646
My...

1151
01:05:59,733 --> 01:06:01,883
...client has Alzheimer's.

1152
01:06:02,493 --> 01:06:04,961
I know what you're probably thinking,
and you're right.

1153
01:06:05,133 --> 01:06:07,328
Denny Crane is hardly a little guy.

1154
01:06:07,493 --> 01:06:09,882
He's the very biggest.

1155
01:06:10,613 --> 01:06:15,164
He's rich, he's famous,
he's one of the giants of our profession.

1156
01:06:15,333 --> 01:06:18,291
But that isn't really
what makes him so...

1157
01:06:22,253 --> 01:06:25,245
It's his enormous, foolish heart.

1158
01:06:26,213 --> 01:06:29,171
It's his boundless generosity.

1159
01:06:29,333 --> 01:06:32,450
Denny has a sense of wonder...

1160
01:06:32,613 --> 01:06:38,802
...and innocence like a child
with all of the world before him.

1161
01:06:38,973 --> 01:06:42,170
He has that capacity for sheer joy...

1162
01:06:42,333 --> 01:06:47,566
...that most of us somehow lose
along the road to adulthood.

1163
01:06:48,053 --> 01:06:49,930
Denny is my best friend.

1164
01:06:50,093 --> 01:06:52,448
I love him with all my heart.

1165
01:06:52,613 --> 01:06:56,083
If I could yank that horrible disease
out of his body...

1166
01:06:56,253 --> 01:06:57,891
...I would fight it, and I would win.

1167
01:06:58,053 --> 01:07:01,409
I would use every ounce of my strength,
and I would win if I could...

1168
01:07:05,733 --> 01:07:07,405
But I can't.

1169
01:07:08,253 --> 01:07:11,370
My best friend is dying
of an incurable disease...

1170
01:07:11,533 --> 01:07:14,923
...that will rob him of himself
before it finally robs him of his life.

1171
01:07:15,093 --> 01:07:18,051
And I'm sorry, but I don't give a damn
what the case law says.

1172
01:07:18,213 --> 01:07:19,646
The law...

1173
01:07:20,733 --> 01:07:23,247
You simply cannot look a dying man
in the eye and say:

1174
01:07:23,413 --> 01:07:25,802
"You don't get the right
to try to save yourself. "

1175
01:07:25,973 --> 01:07:27,452
The law cannot possibly say that.

1176
01:07:27,613 --> 01:07:29,968
And if it does,
it needs to change right now.

1177
01:07:30,133 --> 01:07:31,805
Today. Today.

1178
01:07:32,693 --> 01:07:36,732
Our problem, Mr. Shore,
we have to safeguard the masses.

1179
01:07:36,893 --> 01:07:39,726
Our rulings don't reach people
one person at a time.

1180
01:07:39,893 --> 01:07:43,647
Why can't they? Make this ruling apply
only to Denny Crane if you choose to.

1181
01:07:43,813 --> 01:07:44,848
Just make it.

1182
01:07:45,893 --> 01:07:48,532
Your Honor,
deeply embedded in this court...

1183
01:07:48,693 --> 01:07:50,490
...in so many of its holdings...

1184
01:07:50,653 --> 01:07:53,690
...is the individual's autonomy
and personal dignity.

1185
01:07:53,853 --> 01:07:54,842
So tell me.

1186
01:07:55,013 --> 01:07:57,811
Please, explain to me
how that can apply here.

1187
01:07:58,213 --> 01:08:01,489
Because all I can see is that
the indecency of a disease...

1188
01:08:01,653 --> 01:08:04,042
...that cripples the body
as it rots the brain...

1189
01:08:04,213 --> 01:08:07,364
...can only be exceeded by the
inhumanity of knowing there's a drug...

1190
01:08:07,533 --> 01:08:09,888
...that could help
and not letting him have it.

1191
01:08:16,133 --> 01:08:19,011
Contrary to the public's perception...

1192
01:08:19,173 --> 01:08:23,132
...I think when asked,
most judges and lawyers would say...

1193
01:08:23,293 --> 01:08:27,252
...the reason they first went to
law school was simply to help people.

1194
01:08:27,773 --> 01:08:33,689
This man I love, my friend,
desperately needs your help.

1195
01:08:34,533 --> 01:08:37,252
I beg the nine of you
to look within yourselves...

1196
01:08:37,413 --> 01:08:39,802
Why'd you go to law school?

1197
01:08:39,973 --> 01:08:42,771
Why did you want to sit up there
and wear that robe?

1198
01:08:42,933 --> 01:08:45,493
Because, today, this experimental drug...

1199
01:08:45,653 --> 01:08:48,213
...isn't really Denny Crane's
last best hope.

1200
01:08:48,373 --> 01:08:49,522
You are.

1201
01:08:49,693 --> 01:08:51,524
You are.

1202
01:09:42,213 --> 01:09:44,522
- You know, this is ridiculous.
- Yes.

1203
01:09:44,693 --> 01:09:46,365
And we wouldn't want it any other way.

1204
01:09:46,533 --> 01:09:49,172
There it is. Nimmo Bay.

1205
01:09:49,333 --> 01:09:51,642
- Don't they get snow?
- Indian summer.

1206
01:10:07,813 --> 01:10:11,169
All right, let's not waste time.
I don't want a honeymoon with a salmon.

1207
01:10:11,333 --> 01:10:12,368
Heaven on Earth.

1208
01:10:13,613 --> 01:10:15,968
Ah. Let's send out for some Scotch.

1209
01:10:16,133 --> 01:10:18,169
Nothing younger than 25 years.

1210
01:10:18,333 --> 01:10:19,812
Are there bears here?

1211
01:10:19,973 --> 01:10:22,533
Isn't this the time of year
they look to fatten up?

1212
01:10:24,773 --> 01:10:27,003
This really is beautiful.

1213
01:10:27,173 --> 01:10:28,811
I'm afraid of it, but it's beautiful.

1214
01:10:28,973 --> 01:10:30,804
- What are you afraid of?
Oh, you name it.

1215
01:10:30,973 --> 01:10:32,611
The water, the woods, Canada.

1216
01:10:37,173 --> 01:10:38,686
Stop it.

1217
01:10:41,813 --> 01:10:44,407
- This is your vacation?
- Ha, ha. He brought his hunting buddy.

1218
01:10:44,813 --> 01:10:45,882
Where's the Secret Service?

1219
01:10:46,053 --> 01:10:47,964
Your Honor, this is fate. You must admit.

1220
01:10:48,133 --> 01:10:49,964
- Don't talk to me.
- I won't. I promise.

1221
01:10:50,373 --> 01:10:53,331
If I could just ask you one little thing.

1222
01:10:53,493 --> 01:10:55,290
It can't be ex parte. We're on the dock.

1223
01:10:55,453 --> 01:10:57,364
Could you look any sillier?
I know you can.

1224
01:10:57,533 --> 01:10:59,046
But have you had an opportunity...

1225
01:10:59,213 --> 01:11:02,011
...to think about that little favor
I sought to curry in court?

1226
01:11:02,173 --> 01:11:03,731
It's just that I'm dying to know.

1227
01:11:04,373 --> 01:11:06,364
Denny is, actually.

1228
01:11:08,173 --> 01:11:10,562
On Monday,
the court will issue a one-line memo...

1229
01:11:10,733 --> 01:11:12,928
...granting you the use
of the experimental drug.

1230
01:11:13,413 --> 01:11:14,892
You mean it?

1231
01:11:15,053 --> 01:11:16,122
I'm cured.

1232
01:11:16,293 --> 01:11:18,682
- I could just hug you. May I?
- I'll have you jailed.

1233
01:11:18,853 --> 01:11:21,413
Your Honor, I truly...
I don't know what to say, I feel...

1234
01:11:21,573 --> 01:11:23,609
- May I call you Nino, because...
- You may not.

1235
01:11:23,773 --> 01:11:26,207
I've heard you were
a compassionate man. Now I know it.

1236
01:11:28,053 --> 01:11:29,611
I came up here to fish.

1237
01:11:29,773 --> 01:11:31,604
If you'll excuse me.

1238
01:11:32,213 --> 01:11:34,522
Your Honor, one last thing.

1239
01:11:34,693 --> 01:11:36,729
Denny and I came up here to be married.

1240
01:11:36,893 --> 01:11:40,442
I know you wanna get to the river.
And we did bring a judge of our own.

1241
01:11:40,613 --> 01:11:43,002
But the possibility of an upgrade.

1242
01:11:43,173 --> 01:11:45,323
I, at least, have to ask.

1243
01:11:47,293 --> 01:11:48,885
We're gonna make this really fast.

1244
01:11:49,053 --> 01:11:50,042
Which is what we want.

1245
01:11:50,213 --> 01:11:51,407
- Lf I may say...
- You may not.

1246
01:11:52,413 --> 01:11:54,131
You all take your respected parties...

1247
01:11:54,293 --> 01:11:57,729
...to be your lawfully wedded partners
to love, honor, and obey?

1248
01:11:57,893 --> 01:11:59,645
Your Honor, that might be faster.

1249
01:11:59,813 --> 01:12:01,644
- You want me to do this?
- We do.

1250
01:12:02,413 --> 01:12:04,085
- I now pronounce you...
- No, wait.

1251
01:12:04,253 --> 01:12:07,131
We were saying "we do" to the
question, do we want you to do it.

1252
01:12:07,293 --> 01:12:10,365
Mr. Shore, the Coho are jumping
at Seymour Falls.

1253
01:12:10,533 --> 01:12:12,444
Your Honor, this is our wedding day.

1254
01:12:15,933 --> 01:12:17,491
Join hands.

1255
01:12:20,413 --> 01:12:22,210
Are you gonna be serious?
Because if not...

1256
01:12:22,373 --> 01:12:27,572
Alan, I've never been more serious
about anything in my entire life.

1257
01:12:28,373 --> 01:12:29,408
Okay, let's go.

1258
01:12:32,373 --> 01:12:34,125
Do you, Carl and Denny, respectively...

1259
01:12:34,733 --> 01:12:36,564
...take Shirley and Alan, respectively...

1260
01:12:36,733 --> 01:12:38,610
...to be your lawfully wedded partners...

1261
01:12:38,773 --> 01:12:40,331
...to love, honor, and obey?

1262
01:12:40,493 --> 01:12:41,972
And cherish.

1263
01:12:42,133 --> 01:12:43,532
Especially cherish.

1264
01:12:43,693 --> 01:12:46,844
And cherish till death do you part?

1265
01:12:48,053 --> 01:12:50,044
- I do.
- I do.

1266
01:12:50,213 --> 01:12:52,773
And do you, Shirley and Alan,
respectively...

1267
01:12:52,933 --> 01:12:54,685
...take Carl and Denny, respectively...

1268
01:12:54,853 --> 01:12:56,650
...to be your lawfully wedded partners...

1269
01:12:56,813 --> 01:12:59,486
...to love, honor, obey, and cherish...

1270
01:13:00,693 --> 01:13:02,490
...till death do you part?

1271
01:13:04,013 --> 01:13:05,492
I do.

1272
01:13:06,613 --> 01:13:08,092
I do.

1273
01:13:08,693 --> 01:13:12,481
You all understand
what it means to be married?

1274
01:13:12,653 --> 01:13:13,722
This is a sacred thing.

1275
01:13:13,893 --> 01:13:17,522
The commitment to love one another, to
be there for each other no matter what.

1276
01:13:18,533 --> 01:13:20,842
Do you really all get that?

1277
01:13:23,693 --> 01:13:24,682
We get it, Your Honor.

1278
01:13:25,573 --> 01:13:27,131
Look at me.

1279
01:13:32,133 --> 01:13:35,091
By the powers vested in me
as justice of the Supreme Court...

1280
01:13:35,253 --> 01:13:38,006
...and by the powers of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts...

1281
01:13:38,173 --> 01:13:40,289
I can't speak for Canada.

1282
01:13:40,853 --> 01:13:42,605
I now pronounce you husband and wife...

1283
01:13:44,253 --> 01:13:45,652
...and you, husband and husband.

1284
01:13:46,213 --> 01:13:50,684
What God has brought together,
let no man and no court tear asunder.

1285
01:13:51,453 --> 01:13:53,330
You may kiss the bride.

1286
01:13:53,933 --> 01:13:55,969
Oh. Uh. One at a time.

1287
01:13:56,133 --> 01:13:58,488
Alan, you first.

1288
01:13:59,813 --> 01:14:01,166
And, Denny, gently.

1289
01:14:07,293 --> 01:14:10,285
And now, Carl, my husband.

1290
01:14:16,933 --> 01:14:18,605
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

1291
01:14:18,773 --> 01:14:19,967
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

1292
01:14:23,333 --> 01:14:24,448
I love you, man.

1293
01:14:25,253 --> 01:14:26,527
I love you too, Denny.

1294
01:14:27,173 --> 01:14:28,526
Oh, Shirley.

1295
01:14:29,813 --> 01:14:31,883
May I have my wedding dance with you?

1296
01:14:32,053 --> 01:14:35,728
It's just that I've always dreamed
of dancing with you in this dress...

1297
01:14:35,893 --> 01:14:38,771
...looking exactly the way you do.

1298
01:14:39,253 --> 01:14:42,165
Denny, don't you think Carl
should get this dance?

1299
01:14:42,333 --> 01:14:43,846
Let him grab the next one.

1300
01:14:44,013 --> 01:14:46,368
He's got you forever. L... I just, uh...

1301
01:14:55,293 --> 01:14:56,885
You really are a good sport, Carl.

1302
01:14:57,693 --> 01:14:58,728
I'm a good sport?

1303
01:14:58,893 --> 01:15:01,646
Alan, has it sunk in yet
who you're married to?

1304
01:15:06,693 --> 01:15:08,126
- Judge?
- Why not?

1305
01:16:01,813 --> 01:16:04,532
- Long day.
- But a good one.

1306
01:16:05,133 --> 01:16:06,361
It was wonderful.

1307
01:16:06,533 --> 01:16:08,410
Spectacular day.

1308
01:16:09,533 --> 01:16:11,489
What couples they made.

1309
01:16:11,653 --> 01:16:12,688
Yes, they did.

1310
01:16:12,853 --> 01:16:14,923
Thank you, Jerry,
for being my charming date.

1311
01:16:15,133 --> 01:16:16,168
Mm-hm.

1312
01:16:22,333 --> 01:16:24,767
- Canada was great.
- Beautiful.

1313
01:16:25,773 --> 01:16:26,842
I'm not afraid anymore.

1314
01:16:27,013 --> 01:16:28,287
- And how great is that?
Yeah.

1315
01:16:28,453 --> 01:16:30,364
Conquer one's fear of a foreign country.

1316
01:16:32,373 --> 01:16:35,012
- Great day.
- Fab.

1317
01:16:49,573 --> 01:16:51,689
Let's not make ourselves dizzy.

1318
01:16:58,533 --> 01:17:01,684
Now I feel dizzy.

1319
01:17:15,893 --> 01:17:17,929
Somebody's been here. Who?

1320
01:17:18,093 --> 01:17:19,924
I don't know. But clearly somebody.

1321
01:17:20,093 --> 01:17:22,368
Probably staff celebrating our wedding.

1322
01:17:22,533 --> 01:17:24,285
They would've cleaned up.

1323
01:17:24,453 --> 01:17:26,250
You're not gonna be a neat freak,
are you?

1324
01:17:26,413 --> 01:17:27,402
Don't start with me.

1325
01:17:29,093 --> 01:17:33,006
I tell you, Alan, I woke up this morning,
I thought the end was near.

1326
01:17:33,173 --> 01:17:36,848
But this drug, I could feel the fog lifting
just thinking about it.

1327
01:17:39,413 --> 01:17:40,448
We're married.

1328
01:17:40,613 --> 01:17:41,807
Can you believe it?

1329
01:17:44,173 --> 01:17:47,563
We will face ridicule, Denny. Abuse.

1330
01:17:48,413 --> 01:17:50,210
Don't be fooled.

1331
01:17:50,373 --> 01:17:51,886
It's all worth it.

1332
01:17:53,093 --> 01:17:54,651
I love you.

1333
01:17:55,493 --> 01:17:56,562
I love you too.

1334
01:17:59,493 --> 01:18:01,370
I was watching you dance with Shirley.

1335
01:18:01,733 --> 01:18:03,212
And for a second...

1336
01:18:03,373 --> 01:18:05,887
...I thought you were having
one of your moments...

1337
01:18:07,773 --> 01:18:11,083
...where you actually believed
you and she were...

1338
01:18:13,413 --> 01:18:15,324
I had one of those moments yesterday.

1339
01:18:15,493 --> 01:18:18,530
- You thought she was your wife?
- No, I thought you were my son.

1340
01:18:21,973 --> 01:18:25,727
Proud moment for a dad,
I'll tell you that, having you as my son.

1341
01:18:29,053 --> 01:18:30,691
That's something.

1342
01:18:32,333 --> 01:18:36,121
Are we gonna stay with this firm,
or are we gonna open a new one?

1343
01:18:36,293 --> 01:18:37,851
We don't have to decide tonight.

1344
01:18:38,413 --> 01:18:41,530
Let's just sit here
like an old married couple.

1345
01:18:43,973 --> 01:18:45,008
Ah.

1346
01:18:45,893 --> 01:18:48,885
You know, I was a little hurt
you danced with Shirley instead of...

1347
01:18:49,053 --> 01:18:50,327
- Here we go.
- I'm just saying.

1348
01:18:50,493 --> 01:18:51,812
- Come on.
We did get married.

1349
01:18:51,973 --> 01:18:55,886
I think a little attention is in order
before your eye starts roving.

1350
01:18:57,413 --> 01:18:59,244
- You wanted a dance?
- I did.

1351
01:19:00,013 --> 01:19:02,163
- Let's do it now.
- Oh, the moment has passed.

1352
01:19:02,333 --> 01:19:04,289
No, it hasn't.

1353
01:19:04,453 --> 01:19:06,045
We're here now.

1354
01:19:06,213 --> 01:19:08,852
- We're in the moment.
- I don't want a mercy dance.

1355
01:19:09,013 --> 01:19:11,004
Is this the way it's gonna be?

1356
01:19:11,173 --> 01:19:14,006
Alan, our wedding dance.

1357
01:19:17,973 --> 01:19:20,043
- Don't try anything funny.
- And I wanna lead.

1358
01:19:20,213 --> 01:19:22,249
- Why should you?
- You got to lead with Shirley.

1359
01:19:22,413 --> 01:19:24,290
It's my turn. Just dance.

1360
01:19:29,653 --> 01:19:31,245
- You're leading.
- I'm not.

1361
01:19:31,413 --> 01:19:32,607
Quit shoving me around.

1362
01:19:32,773 --> 01:19:35,162
If you plan to dominate me,
let's undo it right now.

1363
01:19:35,333 --> 01:19:38,803
- Oh, well, that's till-death-do-us-part...
- I can call Scalia right now.

1364
01:19:38,973 --> 01:19:40,725
Just be quiet.

1365
01:19:41,533 --> 01:19:43,364
Seize the moment.

1366
01:19:43,533 --> 01:19:44,727
It's our wedding night.

1367
01:19:50,893 --> 01:19:52,611
It's our wedding night.
