Original subtitles

Hold it, Dave. Hold it. You okay?

I'm fine. Just get me out, please.

All right. We're going to get you out, but just ease up because you're going to

make this truck roll. Just get me out. We'll get you out.

Ease back in. We'll get you out in a minute. My leg is stuck. All right,

Hold Rome's toe and get a flatbed. You must be here to patch a vice.

Penny, be careful. You don't want it gliding on top of you. I got it.

Penny, don't stand back there. If I don't stand, it might fly.

He still claims he was just taking it to the other side of the property to bury

it.

At night?

Why was its stomach cut open and how did the cow die?

Well, I don't know, but what do you want to do?

Investigate a dead cow?

Alien DNA.

Beg your pardon?

They injected it in the cows. It's going on at David Pastor's farm. I know it.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about cows being experimented on with DNA from aliens.

It happened. I think it happened here. That's why David Pastor tried to bury

that animal at night so people wouldn't find out.

DNA from alien creatures?

Don't look at me like that. I'm not a nut. The FBI's been all over Delta Glen

for the last week.

They first thought the cows were being injected with some bovine growth

Turns out it was something else. What?

Well, I don't know what for sure, but I play table hockey with Bernie Toews, the

Delta Glen coroner. He told me there's talk of alien DNA.

There were two murders up there last week. Plus a mysterious plane crash with

doctor who was injecting kids with some mysterious vitamin drug which turned

some of them into teenage rapists.

What does this have to do with David Pasture's cows?

Last year, I went out there on an emergency, okay?

Grant Savage was out of town. David knew I'd done some vet work, and he called

me. It was very strange.

He had, like, this laboratory.

Remember Gene Levanchi and the methane gas chamber? Well, this facility made

that look like a 4 -H project. It was a mini hospital.

And they were very concerned about this cow.

More than milk produce was at stake, I could tell. And there were technicians,

and they were very, very mysterious. They didn't want me asking questions.

Why didn't you say something before?

I didn't know what to say.

Now it makes sense.

They're doing the same thing that this Dr. Larson was doing over in Delta Glen.

Those cows are being injected with something.

Something is strange about that farm, Jimmy. He's got a lot of high -tech

security. I don't know what his produce is.

And David Pastor has been pretty flush. How's he making all this money?

Call the FBI.

Test that dead cow.

What? You know where it's buried?

I do.

I helped him take it to the gravesite.

Dig it up.

Almost got it, man.

I've never zoomed livestock before. This is excellent.

This is crazy.

Let's just get it back to my office. I'll test it there.

This is big, Kenny.

It's big.

How we doing?

Serious. Bring your mortar.

Nice and easy.

Let her down easy. No bruising.

I promised myself I'd never come back to this town.

Agent Morrell.

Ah, bovine injections.

We call the FBI because a local farmer is giving his cow flu shots.

It's not flu shots. We've been informed that some in Delta Glen have been

injected with some kind of...

Alien DNA. You're mistaken.

Well, then what was the FBI doing in Delta Glen?

What about the teenage rapist and the plane crash and the people in Red Frogs

who won't eat meat? I want answers.

You remember Carter Pike, our coroner?

Test turned up negative, but that cow had been dead more than a week. I need a

live sample. What happened to the Delta Glen cow? There was no finding of alien

DNA with any Delta Glen cow.

Well, Carter says that there's a mysterious laboratory here in Rome where

they're doing something. David Pastor, he doesn't sell milk, he doesn't sell

beef. His cows stay indoors most of the time, and there's a high -tech lab. I'm

not just a medical examiner. I have investigative skills. Tell him, Max, I

should be deputized.

Well, there was the Federal Methane Gas Program, which utilized cows.

Gene Levanchi, cow flatulence, global warming, 19 million, dancing bandit. You

let her get away.

Carter.

Are you aware of any other federal programs that could be a secret? Some

that David Pastor could be involved with?

No. Cover up.

Excuse me.

Go away.

Well, what was going on in Delta Glen?

That's an unsolved case, and it doesn't involve you. Now, where did you find the

dead animal?

In the back of a truck with its stomach cut open. I did some blood work, but

nothing. I need to test a living cow. That man is up to something, and I can

prove it.

We'll test one of his living cows.

We'd need a warrant. Can you get us a federal warrant?

Well, I could, but it'd be much faster just to go to your local magistrate.

Are you out of your mind?

I just want to test one.

An unspecified inoculant was already found in the Delta Glen cows. We just...

think you should be tested.

Your Honor, the cows in Delta Glen were in fact injected with some form of

synthetic the FBI investigated.

Given Carter's description of Mr. Pastor's lab, there's reason to suspect

something strange is going on there.

Aliens? We're not saying that.

It's just... He keeps his cows inside a place that looks like NASA.

We just want to check it out.

I'll give you a warrant to take one cow.

Ridiculous.

What kind of cow farm is this kind of surveillance?

Let's talk about it again, okay?

Jimmy. David. I want to search the premises and confiscate a cow.

What? Could you take us to your barn?

You can't do this. This is an invasion of privacy.

That's why we have the warrant, David.

Let's go, please.

You got your cows right, Dave. I'd like to know the point of this.

What do you do with these cows, Dave? I breed them. They're my cows. I can do

whatever I want with them.

Look, what the hell are you people looking for?

I don't know.

Jimmy, take a look.

Who are you?

I work for Mr. Pastor.

Doing what?

I look after the cows.

I'm a veterinarian.

I know what he's up to. Let me interrogate. I'll break him, Jimmy.

You have eight cows and one bat.

I can tend to my animals however I see fit. I'm not breaking any laws.

Max, Kenny, take a cow.

Which one?

That one.

No, not that one.

She's not feeling well. She's had some colic, and she doesn't belong to me.

Well, take this one over here. Take Sandy.

No, we're taking that one.

This one is sick, Jimmy.

Please, she's a boarder. You can't.

We're taking that cow, Dave.

Go.

What's her name?

Wanda. I had to go, Wanda. Come on. Let's go.

I think Ginny was an alien.

She said she was abducted.

Honey, Jimmy wasn't an alien, and please don't talk about dead people at the

table, okay? I think Mayor Pugin was abducted.

I still don't believe he just blew up. Come on.

Is it legal to experiment on cows? I mean, it's bad enough we have to

them for meat, but now we're experimenting on them, too?

Excuse me?

Rachel, come on in. I'm really sorry to intrude, but, Jimmy, that was my cow you

took.

What? Wanda, what's this all about?

Rachel, there is some suspicion that David Pastor has been injecting these

with illegal drugs. Now, we're just doing a quick blood test. We'll be done

tomorrow. And then I can have her back. Yes.

Please don't delay.

This animal is so important to me.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I intruded.

Very interesting.

Yes, it's riveting. Just give me the results.

Please don't bait me during an examination. It compromises the work.

Well, has the cow been injected with a synthetic?

It's been injected with progesterone. What's that?

A hormone.

Her urine is also loaded with estrogen.

Which means what? Which means this cow is pregnant. I think they're breeding

some kind of genetic mutant calf.

Oh, please.

Don't oh please me. I did two years of veterinary school.

I went into this animal's genitalia, and I'll tell you something else, big boy.

This cow is a virgin.

What? You heard me.

Then how did she get pregnant?

My point exactly.

It's in vitro. That's how all cattle are bred these days.

Is this true?

Actually, yes.

Yes?

It's unusual for one person, a non -cattle rancher, to breed this way,

especially with a Holstein. What are you up to?

It's an embryo transplant.

She may be a Holstein, but she's carrying an Angus.

I beg your pardon?

Well, this is how champion cattle are bred. You take the eggs and the sperm

the prize animals and you implant them into the cheap cows.

Why? So you don't put the expensive ones at risk. With a pregnancy, it's done

that way all the time in Australia.

Then why are you being so secret about it?

Well, you're the ones that are making the big deal here, not me.

Give her the cow.

I have more tests.

Give her the cow.

It's unbelievable.

Thank you.

Come on, Wanda. Come on, sweetie, back to the barn.

There's my girl.

So I guess this is all innocent?

It isn't innocent.

I asked to borrow some of his cows for the caroling pageant. You know,

And he wouldn't give me one.

The man raises cattle, and he won't give me one cow for Christmas. A pig.

He's not just a vet.

Who? This is Dr. Marin. He's also a molecular biologist trained in genetic

engineering. I checked him out. But why would he be working for David Pastor? On

Rachel's cow?

Maybe they are breeding some kind of altered calves.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Heard a call from the morgue.

It's something big. Back to the morgue? He's a nut. Come on.

He's probably going to tell us the cow's a lesbian.

Oh, great. Jimmy, I went back into this deadbeat, and this cow was pregnant,

too. And get this. That stomach wound, that was a C -section. This animal died

during an emergency C -section.

What the hell's going on?

Where's the calf?

You were in the barn. This cow gave birth. Where's the calf?

He's got to be hiding something, Jimmy. He told us she died of colic.

Maybe a cow with two udders to boost milk production or five legs for that

slice of beef. But they're doing something strange.

Let's get out there.

I should be deputized. You should wait in the car. Hey, I broke this case, big

boy. Don't insult me.

You're a mariner. You should wait in the car. Quiet. Quiet, please.

What are you people doing here? We board animals here. We heard there was

trouble.

Just stay here.

Let's go.

All right, freeze.

Freeze. Please get out. She's in labor.

As soon as she delivers, you can place these men under arrest.

She wasn't at full term. You induced it.

She's miscarrying, probably because of all the stress that you people brought

on. Now, please leave the room. I'm not leaving the room. Jimmy. I'm staying.

We've got trouble. There could be a breach. What?

Give me the forceps. I need an extra pair of hands here. I can do that.

Carter, I'm not just a medical examiner. I can deliver cows.

I'm coming.

Jimmy, please get out. I'm staying.

I'm under arrest. Do you understand that, David? Just hold the hand.

it's coming. What the hell? Just hold the hand. Get ready. Be careful. Here

comes the police.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

You saw it come out of the cow.

Okay, okay, wait, wait, Max, wait. Slow down, slow down.

Now, did anybody else see this?

Okay, okay.

Place him under arrest, I guess.

Well, there's got to be a law against it.

I think.

All right, take the baby to Jill's for a checkup.

For what?

For what?

For what?

You got human beings coming out of cows here.

Jimmy. No, no.

No, no, no, no, no. I am the sheriff. I will not... I will not have barnyard

animals delivering humans.

I will not stand for it.

Carter, baby goes to Jill's. Everybody else, jail.

No. No.

What?

Tell me. He's fine. He's... He's a perfectly...

human boy.

What can this be?

Well, they've been predicting this. They've said that animals could be used

gestation. They've been saying... My OBGYN friend, Dr. Christie,

in Winslow, she says that every time she picks up a newspaper, she expects to

see that this has happened.

And now it has.

Are you telling me that a cow...

can carry and deliver a human child?

Yes.

You saw it, Jimmy.

It's happened.

I have a problem with my uterus, so I can't bear children.

So you... you chose a cow as a surrogate? A cow is better than a human

surrogate.

How do you... Figure that.

Well, first of all, it's cleaner legally.

I own the cow, so I don't have to go through what Carter went through with a

surrogate changing her mind.

And medically, it's safer.

I control the diet, the environment.

There's no secondhand smoke or alcohol or... Excuse me just one second.

Are you a nut?

Believe it or not.

This is the future of fertility clinics.

It's not Rome's future.

There's got to be a law.

Case number 32111, People v.

Pastor, Marin, and Harris.

Douglas Wambo for the defendants. And may I say, this is the best one yet.

Oh, really?

What have we got now?

Your Honor, the defendants have been operating an unlicensed... and unlawful

fertility and maternity clinic using cattle to gestate and deliver human

children.

I beg your pardon.

I don't think I heard correctly.

You heard right, Judge.

The cow gave birth to a baby boy.

Otter and son are doing fine.

The breastfeeding possibilities are endless.

A cow?

A human child was carried to term by a cow?

This is not a crime to bring a child into being from a bovine womb.

There's no law against this, especially in Wisconsin.

To secure donor eggs and donor sperm for research, this is also completely

legal. Research labs all over the country are experimenting on embryos.

Your Honor, these people are operating a baby factory. Now, that is certainly

illegal. Rachel Harris just had a son from one of his cows.

And he's darling.

It's outrageous.

This is gross experiment.

You stay out of this. I want this facility shut down at once.

A baby.

From a cow.

He's cute, Judge.

Got a little dimple.

I want this farm shut down.

I want charges brought in. For what?

All right.

Before I do anything, I want to conduct an evidentiary hearing to find out

exactly how this works.

Then I might quit.

We're adjourned till two o 'clock.

Oh, cow.

Oh, cow.

He checks out. You certainly have a healthy son.

Thank you.

Can I ask?

I can.

Who's the father?

I don't know.

I went through a sperm bank, wrote the check.

I don't know.

But do you think he looks a little like me?

Rachel, if we weren't such good friends, I wouldn't be so blunt, but I just have

to know, why this way?

Menopause isn't far away, Jill, and I only have so many eggs left, and I

another child.

Carter, you should go this route next time.

No, no, that's not for me.

Aside from the ethical concerns I have, and I do have them, my child...

His father's going to be Carter Pike. That's cause enough for schoolyard

Imagine my telling him his mother's a cow.

I'm this child's mother.

Oh, I know.

Oh, you know what I mean.

Well, all I can say is that...

I've only held this little guy five minutes top so far, and it's already

it. Has he been changed recently?

Ten minutes ago, he peed on me.

You are going to be something.

Goodbye, honey.

Is it true it came from a cow?

Yes.

Matthew and Zach, they come to me about sex questions and religion and virgin

birth stuff. What am I supposed to say about this?

Um, I'll talk to them.

What are you going to tell them?

I'll speak to the boys, Kimberly.

Okay, then what are you going to tell me?

They say in ten years or so, if women want to have babies but they don't want

stop working, they can just do it this way.

Transfer the embryos into a cow.

Is that really possible?

Medically, yes.

Where's it going to stop?

I don't know.

I can't represent the cows.

It would be a conflict of interest.

I thought one of the main Jewish rules was be kind to animals.

This is true.

Well, this can't be kind.

Don't the Jews care about cows?

Well, we don't take them as seriously as the Hindus, but we do care.

The thing is, Zach, the human race, we eat hamburgers, we wear leather shoes to

look nice, we conduct... animal experiments to cure fatal diseases.

Now this is all very good for people, but not so good for the cow.

And today, it is still the main rule.

People come first.

Let's start with the pregnancy.

How was this accomplished?

Well, um...

It's surprisingly simple.

We harvest the female eggs, fertilize them, then observe them microscopically

until they reach the blastula or the moralist stage.

What does that mean?

Basically, that means they become multicellular.

Then we bring a rabbit into estrus, usually with a hormonal injection.

And once the cow goes into heat, we take the fertilized embryo out of the rabbit

and implant it into the cow.

How do you do that?

It's also very simple. We inject the fertilized embryo into the cervix.

And the animal carries the child to full term. That's correct.

How can a cow be compatible?

The cow is given hormone tablets, progesterone.

And what about the blood supply?

The baby can live off the cow's blood?

No, the embryo is implanted with its own placenta.

That means that the fetus can make its own blood.

The blood systems are completely separate.

The only thing the fetus needs from the cow are the amino acids, protein and

sugar, which it gets.

How? Well, the nutritionist passed through the placenta to the fetus with

umbilical cord.

There's no crime here, Judge.

Your Honor, the crime is these people are unlicensed.

He's not a doctor. This is a medical perversity. There's nothing perverse

childbirth. Mr. Littleton, what charges are you bringing?

operating an unlicensed facility is only... Your Honor, I'm not really

interested in bringing any criminal sanctions against them. I'm speaking as

officer of the court, and as a matter of public policy, I'm asking you to shut

this facility down.

Granted. Thank you, Your Honor. Just like that? No big speech first?

Here's my speech.

I happen to know that the National Institute of Health has passed

research with human embryos.

They have held it unacceptable for human embryos to be transferred to animals

for gestation.

I agree with that ruling, and I hereby shut this little baby farm down.

Well, we're not done yet, Judge. Things are never so simple. Not in Rome,

Wisconsin. What now?

Seated behind me are six couples. I can introduce them later. You can read my

brief. They're all listed.

Why do I care?

These couples...

Also have cows impregnated with their children and pass the farm. If you shut

down that facility, you jeopardize... Oh, no.

How pregnant are these animals?

Well, only a few weeks, but... Your Honor, also in keeping with public

policy, I'd request that these pregnancies be terminated.

What? They're in their first trimester. The state has an interest. Oh, wait a

second. Henry. I'll be brief.

I'm all for stopping what's going on over there. But when you start talking

about aborting human life... It doesn't concern you. Roe versus Wade. It's not a

lie. It's not a lie.

Dear God in heaven, you will not

fertilize any more embryos as to the already pregnant cows.

I'll hear arguments.

Tomorrow, 10 o 'clock.

Then, I really am quitting.

Keep singing, kids. You're doing fine. Pay no

attention.

What's going on?

That's going on.

It's a sacrilege.

Baby Jesus under the virgin cow.

I'm thinking this is just the beginning.

The whole town's going to become a circus because of this perversity.

How could this have happened?

This is science, Henry. Try to look at it as medical progress.

Hi. Rachel.

You're working late.

Yeah, well, it's kind of hard to find case law on this one.

You find this whole thing pretty perverse, don't you?

Yes, I do.

I... You know, with due respect to your position, I'd like you to

consider these other parents.

I have, Rachel.

Their children are living inside those animals.

My life has just been changed forever.

And, well, sometimes with... Well, amidst all the politics and the law, the

simplest truths are overlooked.

Here are the simple truths.

My wife and I couldn't conceive.

It was our third attempt at in vitro that Deanna finally got pregnant.

I only have Kara because of science and technology, and I promise you, my

daughter is my life.

Without her, I'm 100 % nothing.

So science has changed my life forever, too.

This position I'm taking, it's not because I don't understand.

Mom said she'd speak to you.

I don't want the parents' version.

I need the truth.

So do I.

Okay, what?

Maybe Jesus wasn't a virgin birth.

He could have been a test tube baby.

They didn't have test tube babies then.

What?

They had divine miracles, but no test tubes?

Christianity could be a big fraud.

Mary could have been a freak with weird DNA.

I really don't think that was it, Zach.

And they choose.

They say to be nice to animals.

But Mr. Wombal doesn't care about cows.

I was thinking about becoming a Muslim.

But Matthew says I have to climb a mountain first.

Why do you ever believe anything he says?

Just tell me.

Whose God should I believe in?

None.

What?

Look, it came to me for the truth, so I'm going to give it to you.

I don't think there is a God.

You don't?

No.

Why do we have Christmas?

I think God... I think he's a man -made thing to give us all hope so

that when bad things happen, we can look to something that we can't see and

pretend like everything's going to be okay.

That isn't true, Kimberly.

Of course there's a God.

Prove it.

Could I see you in my room for a minute, please?

She can't prove it.

How can you tell your brothers there's no God?

They asked me my opinion, so I told them. Well, first of all, I don't know

this is coming from. And second of all, Kimberly, I would appreciate it if you

would not tell your brothers Matthew 13...

Zach is ten.

They are impressionable children.

Yes, they're impressionable. A cow just gave birth to a human. That makes an

impression. Why haven't you talked to them?

I will.

When?

Well, soon.

You don't know what to say, do you?

You're stuck. I'm not stuck.

I'm just... A cow delivers a baby boy and you have no idea as to how to make

religious sense of it. Well, that doesn't mean that you should start

there's no God.

You don't think I want to believe? Are you crazy?

I had a friend who was murdered by her own mother. I can't turn on the news

without seeing... You don't think I want to believe that there's somebody up

there in charge of the happy endings?

But how can I, Mom?

There isn't a God. There couldn't be.

And this beats all. In Rome, Wisconsin, where else, a cow has given birth to a

human baby boy.

John Kenneth Harris weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounces after being delivered

naturally by a full -bred Holstein 4 -year -old. They could do a documentary

about this town.

Who would believe it?

You okay, honey?

Why wouldn't I be?

Medical technology is a wonderful thing.

Through gene therapy, we're discovering cures to once fatal diseases every day.

We found the gene for cystic fibrosis, breast cancer.

A fetal tissue transplant saved Bill McGrath from Parkinson's disease.

But there have to be boundaries, Your Honor.

Now, I don't know where the line is, but using a cow's uterus

to carry a human child to term.

That has to be on the other side of it.

There's a difference between using medical technology to save life and

science to artificially manufacture it.

Why? What's the difference?

I hear what you're saying, Counsel.

But we use technology to save lives.

We use animal parts and valves to replace human ones.

Is it really such a stretch to use technology and animal parts to gestate?

Human life?

It isn't natural.

Is it for any of us to say what's natural?

I've seen you with your daughter, Mr. Littleton.

The way your face lights up. I know you look at her and experience, well,

maybe a miracle.

I see the same look in Rachel Harris.

Those couples right there.

They want to know that feeling.

Are we to deny them that?

Because it isn't natural?

But where does it stop?

Today it's hatch a baby.

And we're already manipulating genes to choose sex.

We have the technology to split embryos to make twins.

The day is coming when we'll be able to manipulate genes to have custom

-designed children.

That day isn't here, Mr. Littleton.

The question is only whether the pregnancies of these six cows should be

terminated. The question is...

How far should science interfere in human pregnancies?

Because we're approaching eugenics, and don't tell me that day isn't here.

Last year, China announced a program of forced sterilizations and mandatory

abortions to avoid birth of inferior quality children.

All this in an effort to heighten the standards of the country.

This isn't China.

No, this is Rome.

And we have to decide today what limits are acceptable here in Rome, Wisconsin.

My God, we're taking the simplest and most miraculous equation.

The miracle of life.

And we're using test tubes and animals to... What are we doing?

Last night, some pranksters put the baby Jesus doll under a fake cow.

Look at this room.

Filled with cameramen and reporters and...

All these people are waiting to see if Rome, Wisconsin will allow cattle to

its children.

It isn't natural.

This is not a case about the abuse of genetic testing.

It's not a case about cows.

Today... It's just a case about human beings.

Mr. Littleton talks of nature's greatest miracle, life.

I agree.

Life lives in those six cows.

Now, we're not trying to manipulate the genes to give them blue eyes or white

skin or long legs.

Maybe that abuse will come to be one day, in which case I hope you'll put a

to it.

But what he's asking you to put a stop to today is human life.

Indulge me just a second, Judge. I have a little stunt.

I just want you to peek at this rascal.

Life.

He is here because of technology.

His name is John Kenneth Harris.

If he smiles...

You'll see the dimple.

Such a horrible thing science can be.

Just awful.

So the judge is deliberating, huh?

Yep.

Honey, I didn't mean to yell at you last night.

I know.

I'm curious.

Why has this cow business been so upsetting to you?

I think you do.

What does it have to do with believing in God?

It's just... There are no miracles in life.

Everything is explained by science.

What we are, it's our genes.

Everything's on a DNA barcode.

You don't really believe that.

Mom, we can...

manipulate genes to eradicate diseases.

We have cows carrying human fetuses.

This may all seem like progress, but it just goes to show that man and science

are in control, not God.

Well, unless God intended for man to manipulate science.

Yeah, but you have to admit, with every new discovery, every fossil, every new

gene, it all goes to scientific theory.

There's no wonder anymore.

There's no room for it.

God is being factored out of the equation.

This cow business, it doesn't scare you?

It terrifies me.

I'd like to decide a nuisance case brought by a farmer over a neighbor's

oversized grain silo.

Instead, I get genetics and embryo transplants and a DA

who implores me to step in before Rome becomes China.

Here comes the big speech.

What did you say, counsel?

I was just telling my clients I'm a character.

I see.

Well, it's time for me to talk to your clients.

I'm not going to get into genetics and the miracle of life and the

potential horror of gene manipulation.

Instead, I'm going to make this real simple.

Roe versus Wade.

balances the state interest in life versus the rights of the woman to

her body.

In this case, we have no women, just cows.

And the Supreme Court gives no protection to the cow.

The state interest in life is therefore uncontested.

So there will be no abortions, first trimester or otherwise.

There will be no more embryo transplants.

But these six pregnancies will not be terminated.

My hope is that government does step in and monitor this speeding train

of gene therapy and fertility technology.

If not for our sakes, then for the cows.

Food chains are not.

They certainly don't deserve this.

Adjourned.

Your Honor.

I'm sorry to bother you, but... Do you believe in God?

I've been a little confused lately.

Well, whether I do or not is wholly irrelevant as to whether you do.

I know, but you seem to have insights.

I'm a charged young lady.

That means in this room, I neither do nor say anything to establish religion.

It's in my rule book.

In this room? So if I ran into you in some other room?

There's a big one you can find me in every Sunday.

Now, even though you're not technically a lawyer, I'd like to say something I

say to other attorneys in these chambers.

What?

Get out.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.
