All language subtitles for LA Law s04e01 The Unsterile Cuckoo.eng

Last season on L .A. Law. Hi, how are
you?

Hi, Abby. How are you? I'm fine.

Guess what? I'm going to come back to
work at McKenzie Brackley.

You are?

We'll see each other every day just like
we used to. That's great.

Abby, I have a new friend.

She's a girl.

Really?

Her name's Alice.

Here's a picture of her.

She seems very pretty.

So here we are, platonic friends.

Seems perfectly natural.

The Cusack sarcasm.

Oh, I miss it.

I miss you, Michael.

I miss you too, Grace.

Fanny.

Come on in, Alice. It's getting late.

Arnie, can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure, Ben. I'll come on in.

What's up?

Friend Alice, she's going to the
hospital for an operation.

What sort of operation?

One that makes it so she won't have a
baby.

An abortion?

Benny, is Alice going to have an
abortion?

I don't know. Benny?

Are you and Alice having sex?

Look, if you're going to get me involved
here, you're going to have to tell me

what's going on.

Are you and Alice having sexual
intercourse?

No.

So, what you're trying to tell me is
that... Alice

is pregnant?

Before we go any further, an
announcement to all.

In preparation for Friday's softball
game against Sheertaf and Heilbrunner,

booked Roxbury Park at 1 o 'clock
Wednesday for a practice.

Wait a second. We're missing two working
days for this game? It's just an hour

on Wednesday for the practice. The game
isn't until 3 o 'clock Friday, so we can

all easily bill a half day. How much is
the bet this year?

Paul, there's no bet.

No, wagering would be inappropriate.

This game is simply for fun.

Right. The rules are the same.

It's co -ed with only one male non
-lawyer allowed to play per team.

Regrettably, Abby has tended an
invitation to Benny, who can neither hit

field. Oh, come on. Abby. He wants to
play. Make him catch her. Catch her?

there's Roxanne.

What's the matter with Roxanne?

Her diet, that's what. This sudden
weight loss has got to affect her

hit the long ball. All right, that's
enough from the game. Move on, Douglas.

Shelby versus Carpell.

Pre -trial is filed. We start in three
weeks. Ann, you're doing it?

Yes, I am. Is there a problem?

It's just that by then, you'll be almost
seven and a half months pregnant and

too fat to approach the bench.

I'll manage, Douglas, but thank you for
your sensitive concern.

Michael, where are we on people versus
Williams?

We go next week. That is if we can
settle the documents beef.

We're getting a lot of phone calls from
the press on this. Well, murder cases

spark a lot of interest. What can I say?

Moving along.

Randall Furriers versus Save the Animal
Foundation.

I'm back in court this afternoon.

We've taken a lot of heat on this one. I
think we deserve the heat. Sometimes

that kind of protest is exactly what you
need.

All right, let's not start this again.

We never finished it. Abby. Killing
animals to make fur coats is barbaric,

I'd still like to know why we take on
clients like this. We took on this

12 years ago when you were still in
junior high school. I'm sorry you

consulted. There's certainly nothing
illegal about making furs, Abby, and

Legal doesn't make it moral, Douglas.
That's your opinion. Oh, what, we have a

morality clause for clients now? All
right, let's end this debate now.

We're in this case, like it or not, so
we have to see it through.

Move on, Douglas.

That's it.

We're adjourned.

It's a healthy release. You know, two
law firms battling it out on a softball

field. It's wonderful.

Sure, sure. What's the bets?

Well, since we've taken you for 25 each
of the last two years...

Figured we'd double it, give you a
chance to pull even.

$5 ,000?

Well, that's an awfully big bet on the
softball game, Sam.

Always a smooth -talking fundraiser,
Leland.

Except when it's time to put up your own
nickel.

Now, excuse me a second.

Can we win this game?

Definitely.

That's 2 ,500 apiece, Douglas, right out
of our pockets. We lost by one run.

Last year, without Victor and Abby, this
is the strongest team we've ever had.

Are you sure?

Make the bet. We're gonna crush them.

You're on, Sam. 5 ,000.

Bring a bank check if you don't mind.

See you next Friday.

What are you doing on that thing?

Well, it saves gas, I can skirt through
traffic, and it's fun.

I've just never seen you with anything
so lethal between your legs.

Well, I have never been on top of
anything quite so responsive, that's for

You say, come back.

How you doing, anyway, huh?

I'm fine. Good.

What brings you to my building?

Well, I was in your building on a
discovery map.

Oh, your big murder case, huh?

Mm -hmm.

As a matter of fact, maybe you could
help me get a little more cooperation

some of your colleagues.

Now, I never cut you any favors when we
were sleeping together.

What makes you think you're going to get
any now?

Well, helping people gives one a sense
of power and superiority. And as I

recall, you like to feed off that.

Wear a helmet, Counselor.

You can get hurt.

Give me a call sometime, huh?

I will.

Could you describe the nature of these
fashion shows for the

court, Mr. Randall? Yes, it's how we
display our furs for designers,

wholesalers. They're supposed to be
pleasant events, but they haven't been

working out that way. Why not?

Because as our models come down the
runway, members of the defendants' group

throw animal blood on them. On the
models? Yes, the models, the coats.

It's happened over a dozen times in the
last three years, and lately it's

happening even more frequently.

Now, what consequences, if any, have
resulted from these incidents, sir?

Well, the main consequence is that my
wholesale buyers are staying away.

My sales in the last year have dropped
almost 32%. And how does that translate

into dollars?

It translates into about $1 .3 million.

Thank you, sir.

Anything further?

Your company traps and kills animals in
Canada to make these furs, right?

That's correct.

And these animals often suffer very
painful deaths, do they not? Objection.

Whether or not the animals suffer has no
relevance here. The defendant's actions

are on trial, not the plaintiff's. Your
Honor, I'm trying to establish what

caused my client to act.

They were voicing society's outrage at
the place of... If society's outraged,

then they can pass a law. Mr.
Cifuentes... Because trapping is

It's legal because they make enough
money off these slaughters to lobby

Congress. Objection. Both of you.
Congress is lobbied by both sides on

issue, Mr. Trasciuta. And if you don't
like the way they've responded, then

it up in Washington. All right.

Now, everybody be quiet. Mr. Cifuentes,
sit down.

Mr. Trasciuta, I'll give you a little
latitude. And Mr.

Randall, just answer the questions
you're asked, please.

Thank you, Judge.

How many minks do you murder to make a
stall?

Objection. Sustained. Your company kills
animals for profit, isn't that right?

Yes, and cigarette companies kill
humans. Why don't you chase them? With

cigarettes, at least people have a
choice. What choice do these animals

People have a choice with birds, too.

Let them make it. What about the
animals? You people are lunatics.

Yeah, and you're a murderer. You're
sick. You should be in jail. All right,

everybody, be quiet, or I'll clear this
courtroom right now. I'll seal this

place. I'll lock up the parties for
contempt and the rest of you for

conduct. Now, if you think I'm kidding,
just try me.

That tape is inflammatory and it would
be an abuse. It depicts the truth,

Mr. Cifuentes is just... I'll stipulate
that my client traps animals. I will

stipulate that animals suffer. But there
is no point in playing that footage.

You haven't even seen it. I don't need
to see it. Nor does anybody else. All

right.

Mr. Cifuentes, I'm going to allow the
videotape. Your Honor, that is an abuse

discretion. The jury is entitled to see
the activities that motivated the

defendant's conduct. Their motivation is
totally irrelevant.

Your claim for punitive damages makes it
relevant, doesn't it?

The tape is in.

I'll see you at 2 o 'clock.

That's all.

Well, that was a cheap stunt, John.

Cheap crap.

Tell me you wouldn't use it if you were
in my shoes. I would not be in your

shoes. Your clients are fanatics.

So maybe they love animals too much.
They're well -meaning people, Victor.

What happened in there? Any chance of
settlement, counselor?

There's been no settlement at this time,
and I don't even know how many further

comments.

Murderers! You defend murderers!

Are you out of your mind? Murderers!
You're such a foul animal!

Hey, how the hell do you let these
people in here like that?

Come on, relax. Get on there. Get the
hell out of here.

You've got to stay out of my face, man.

I'm really sorry.

That's a hell of a client group you've
got there, John.

Good, well -meaning folks, huh?

Murder! Murder!

Murder! Murder!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

The softball uniforms came in. I was
trying mine on.

Stuart, you're not thinking of playing
in that game, are you?

The team needs me, Ann.

We have a Lamaze class on Friday, don't
you remember?

The class voted to do it in the
afternoon so everybody could leave early

weekend. Yeah, I know, but since we're
doing one tomorrow, I thought I could

skip Friday.

I'm third base, Ann.

I don't believe this.

I have spent the last seven months
nurturing our child inside me.

And you're willing to risk everything to
be third base.

And you skipped out of the class last
week five minutes early so you could get

home to watch 30 -something.

That was an episode on childbirth. It
was responsible television.

Right. Every time you do something, it's
justified. Every time I do something,

I'm being unreasonable, right?

You really think it's reasonable to skip
a Lamaze class to run around in spandex

knickers?

It's only the biggest game of the year.

Do whatever you want, Stuart.

Ann. No, it's fine.

Fine? Fine.

I've asked Miss Perkins to join us.
She's very close to Benny. Look, I don't

give a damn.

This is none of your business.

It's none of hers either. Well, I don't
disagree with that, but we've become

almost de facto guardians of Benny, and
I thought since this does involve him,

it would be... How the hell does it
involve him?

I assume it's Benny's child that's being
aborted here? Whoa, whoa!

I don't know what Benny's told you, but
my daughter is not pregnant, and she's

not going in for any abortion.

Then what's going on?

Alice is going in to be sterilized.

Sterilized? Why?

Because she and Benny are having sexual
intercourse, that's why, and she could

never take care of a baby.

With all due respect, Mr. Hackett, there
is birth control.

Yes, there is.

I put her on the pill, and she kept
forgetting to take it.

IUDs aren't safe, and she can't get the
hang of using a diaphragm.

Look, I'm sure that you have given this
a lot of thought, but to sterilize her,

that's the most radical thing you could
ever do.

Believe me, Miss Perkins, I've agonized
over this more than you could ever know.

But she is growing up. Now, like it or
not, if I want her to be normalized, I

have to be willing to let her have a sex
life.

The reality is she has the operative
intelligence of an eight -year -old.

incapable of practicing birth control.
She's incapable of raising a child.

An abortion or an adoption would be
devastating for her.

As radical as a sterilization may be,

It's still the most responsible thing I
can do

Okay third base

plays the first here we go here we go
Come

on

pick it up

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on, Benny.

Be alert.

Catcher's got to be alert.

He's the backbone.

You're late, both of you. Hey, sorry,

coach.

Okay, turn two. Turn two.

Looking sharp. Looking sharp.

That's the way. That's the way. We're a
team. We're a team.

Let's hear the chatter.

And between the years of 1981

and 1986, you, in fact, trapped animals
whose furs you sold to the plaintiff,

correct? That's correct. And is this
tape we're about to see a fair and

representation of the trapping process?

It is.

Your Honor, I renew my objection to the
introduction of this evidence.

Yes, and I overrule you again.

Play the tape.

Okay, Mr.

Trishuta, we've seen enough.

Turn it off.

Could you describe this thing for us,
Mr. Calder?

It's a standard one and a half. It's got
the double jaws, which most trappers

want nowadays.

Why do they want a double jaw?

Well, most trappers can't check the
traps on a daily basis.

If you give the animals enough time,
they'll chew off their legs to free

themselves.

They chew off their own limbs.

Right. They gnaw at their feet right
below this jaw right here. Now, the

jaw clamps on a part of the leg that
they can't get at. So even if you have a

wolf or fox or whatever and it chews its
foot off, the trapper doesn't lose his

catch. And how long does an animal stay
trapped like this? A couple days, maybe

a week.

Depends on how fast the trapper gets
back to his trap.

And then what happens?

Well, if it hadn't already bled to
death, you'd have to kill it. And how is

accomplished? How do you kill your
catch?

Well, if you're near water, we usually
drown them.

That's the best way. That way you don't
hurt the pelt. If that's not possible,

you club it to death, or if you have a
gun, you shoot it.

Some trappers have a long spear, and
they stab it.

There's all kinds of different ways.

Thank you, sir.

Nothing further.

I don't have any questions.

Well, you can't pull out now, and you
know that. It would be a mistrial.

Not if someone else in the firm took it
over. Maybe Michael or Jonathan. Oh,

come on, Victor. That's crazy.

I just can't do it, okay? I can't.
You've defended murderers, drug dealers,

rapists. Now you've got a law -abiding
client.

who's a legitimate victim, and you say
you can't do it. I know, I know.

It's just that after seeing that tape,
Leland, how they make those furs, I just

can't stomach being their lawyer.

Well, you will stomach it.

Anything else will be malpractice. I'm
willing to risk death.

Well, I'm not.

You'd also be risking our contingent
fee, which could be upwards of $200

Oh, come on now. Well, we've invested
over $100 ,000 in time on this case. I

don't intend to give that away.

Everything can't always be about money,
Leland. Oh, it's not always about money

with me, Victor, and you know that.

The truth is, we haven't had a big win
around here in over four months. The

revenues are down, and this is a good
chance to make some of it up.

You're going to have to do better than
that with me. I don't have to do better

than that.

You want a good reason to keep going,
Counselor? Here it is.

Consider it an order from the senior
partner.

Leland.

I'm just not sure, given the way that I
feel, that I'd really be that effective.

Ah.

You'll be great.

And that's exactly what bothers you the
most.

You guys can have a seat.

Okay, um, I talked about your operation
with your father.

And what I need to find out, Alice, is
if you know exactly what this operation

is for.

Yes. What?

Alice, you can tell me.

It's because Betty and I had sex.

Okay.

Now, why does that mean that you have to
have an operation?

Because whenever you have sex, you need
one.

So you don't have a baby.

Alice, I want you to listen to me very
carefully, okay?

Very carefully.

This operation that you're going to have
is going to make it so that you can

never have a baby.

Do you understand that?

Not ever?

Not ever.

Is that what you want?

Alice, is that what you want?

I don't know.

Well, you should tell your father that,
then.

No.

He wants me to have an operation.

Alice, it's what you want that matters.

I'm scared.

Okay. I'll talk to your father again.

Okay? But you're going to have to talk
to him, too. And you're going to have to

tell him what you want.

He'll be mad at me.

But daddy will get mad at me.

Allison.

In the hair.

One more time.

Exhale.

And we're done.

Great.

Anybody have any questions today?

Ann? Yeah, I think Stuart has a question
he'd like to ask the class.

Very well, Stuart.

Yeah, well, I may have to miss next
Friday's class.

My firm has a softball game. It's arch
rival. It's a once -a -year kind of a

thing. You're going to skip Lamaze for
softball?

Yeah.

Well, uh...

Look, I promised my wife I wouldn't do
it unless you people said it was okay.

No way.

I think you better quit while you're
only slightly behind, Markowitz. Yeah.

All right, I know you may consider that
childish. Now, I'd like you to think of

something else here. Now, we're all
about to become parents, right?

And to the extent that each of us can
recapture our own childhood and our

of growing up and, as I said, my playing
in this game.

It's a chance for all of us to remember
that a dream, whatever that dream may

be, must never be repressed or ignored.

Play the game.

What?

You should definitely play. I'll tutor
you on what you missed Friday.

I can play?

All right! I don't believe this.

Anne.

Play ball, Markowitz.

I don't apologize for cutting into their
profits when those profits are derived

from killing innocent animals.

But throwing blood on people,
vandalizing private property, that's a

extreme, isn't it? First of all, it
isn't real blood. It's a dye.

And yes, we are extreme. We have to be
to get attention.

It's only through exposure that we can
create public awareness.

But what about working to change the
laws instead of resorting to violence?

We are working to change the laws, but
it takes a long time. So you see fit.

To break the law.

None of us enjoys being arrested, but if
we have to go to jail to stop the

atrocities being committed by these
corporations, that's a sacrifice we're

prepared to make.

Thank you, Mrs. Barrett.

Nothing further.

It's not just the corporations you
attack, is it, Mrs. Barrett? Your group

members have also splashed people on the
streets wearing furs, right?

Again, I wish we didn't have to take
actions like this. But you do.

Don't you?

Yes. And sometimes you've hit people
wearing synthetic furs, correct? We

mean to victimize these people, but
some... But you do, don't you?

It's happened.

It's happened. And sometimes some of the
people that you've hit wear furs that

come from fur ranchers and not traps,
right? Makes no difference. The fur

ranchers are cruel, too. Wait a second.

This big presentation we had here about
the evils of trapping and suddenly it

makes no difference? The point is,
anybody who buys furs is guilty of

contributing to the killing of innocent
animals. Well, what about the people who

eat meat?

The people who eat beef, chicken, and
fish contribute to the killing of

animals too, don't they?

Yes. And people who sit in leather
seats?

They're guilty too, aren't they? Leather
is the skin of an animal, Mr.

Cifuentes. Uh -huh, so that when we see
kids kicking leather soccer balls in the

park, we should just splatter them with
blood?

Objection! We never threw blood on
anybody.

Sustained. How about the folks who wear
wool, Mrs. Barrett? Wool shearing causes

sheep to suffer stress and overexposure
to the cold. The sheep suffer sores and

get infected.

I see, I see.

And ma 'am, how does your organization
feel about using animals for medical

research? We are against it. Well...

Better for a little child to die of
cancer than to kill a mouse, right?

for restaurants to be infested with
vermin than ever call an exterminator.

Sepuente. Better to save a rat than to
wipe out a plague.

Objection! Mr. Sepuente, that's enough.

Withdrawn.

Animals matter more than people to you,
don't they?

Animals are more deserving than people.

A lot of times.

Thank you, Mrs. Barrett, for showing us
exactly where you stand.

Nothing further.

She's afraid to tell her father, and he
doesn't believe me when I tell him, so I

think... We can't afford to butt in
here. It's none of our business.

Involuntary sterilization is illegal.

We cannot just look the other way while
this guy... Come on.

No doctor's gonna do it unless he's
convinced of the consent. You're talking

about risking a million -dollar client.
And for what? So Alice can get pregnant

one day and have a kid? Does anybody
here really believe she should be a

Retarded people can make very good
parents.

But more likely they'll make bad ones.

Alice's IQ is lower than Benny's, and to
tell you the truth, I... I don't think

Benny could raise a kid.

Look, we could argue all day and never
agree.

The only thing we can and should agree
on is that it would be stupid for us to

get involved.

You know, we may not have a choice.

What? Like Ann said, forced
sterilization is illegal in California.

And if we know that Alice is about to be
sterilized, we also know that a crime

is about to be committed. In which case,
as officers of the court, we may have

to come forward.

That's crazy. No, we don't. We have no
standing.

There's a conflict of interest.

Well, if not legally or ethically, then
at least morally. We don't have time to

go around taking moral stands.

Then make time.

Cancel the damn softball game. You're
overreacting.

All right, that's enough. Now, look,
regardless of our personal feelings,

sterilization is legal in other states.
Even if we stop this here, Leo Hackett

can just fly his daughter to another
state where they won't stop him.

So why alienate a million -dollar client
when no purpose will be served?

So let's stop him here and then enjoin
him from taking her to any other state.

Well, we can't do that, and you know it.
Now, the bottom line is, if Leo Hackett

is determined to sterilize his daughter,
there is nothing we can do to stop him.

It is, therefore, the position of this
firm not to try.

This meeting's adjourned.

The issue here is not whether animals
should die needlessly to satisfy human

wants.

Like it or not, that happens.

Animals die because they please our
palates. Not because they're necessary

our diets, but because they taste good.

They die so that we can wear leather, so
we can make footballs out of pig skins.

They die sometimes because wool feels
softer than polyester. This is the human

race, ladies and gentlemen, and we are
higher up on the food chain.

Now...

You don't have to feel good about that.

Nor do you even have to like my client.
That is a matter of individual choice,

also known as a freedom.

But whatever your beliefs are on
anything, if you break a law and resort

violence to impose your beliefs on
others, then you are guilty of

And if you endorse that, if you say that
it's okay to disregard a law just

because you don't like something, well,
then we're all in trouble.

As a direct result of the defendant's
illegal activity, my client lost $1

.3 million. It is that simple. And all
the protesting, all the blood, all the

finger -pointing, can't change that.

And shouldn't keep you from recognizing
it.

Thank you.

Where do we start drawing the line?

He's right.

If you're going to get upset about fur,
then what about meat?

I mean, we shouldn't have to be a
vegetarian society.

And leather?

Well, leather's not as bad either, since
leather goods, unlike fur, are

byproducts from animals killed
specifically for food.

And laboratory research?

Like Mr. Cifuentes said, those
experiments could lead to a cure for

something.

Yeah, I guess you can always legitimize
killing animals if you look hard enough.

Except, except when animals are murdered
for no other reason

than to serve our sense of vanity.

I have no trouble drawing the line
there, ladies and gentlemen.

When animals are slaughtered so that we
can prance around exuding luxury,

you can draw your damn line right there.

Now, we can't have people running around
breaking laws just because they don't

like something. I agree.

But my client's people were arrested for
it. They did jail time. They paid their

debt to society.

What we have here is a civil trial,
folks, and a civil trial is not about

punishment. It's about compensation.

They are here asking you to award them
money.

You saw that tape.

You saw what they do.

I don't know whether to appreciate all
your concern and just sue you for

harassment.

Well, I'm not here to do battle, Bill.

If you wish still to sterilize your
daughter, my firm won't stand in your

Nevertheless, you didn't show up to help
deliver the morning paper.

No, no.

Well, I just wanted to see you because,
personally, I think that what you're

about to do is wrong.

What would happen if she ever had a
child?

I'm a widower, Leland, pushing 60.

I could never take on that kind of
responsibility.

And if I didn't, they'd take the baby
away.

My daughter could never recover from a
pain like that.

I'm told your daughter isn't sure about
this.

One minute she agrees, the next she
doesn't know. She's retarded.

She doesn't know what's best for her.

Are you sure that you do?

No. Parenting is a very inexact science,
my friend.

All you can do is love your child and do
what you think is best.

And that's what I'm doing here.

I don't doubt that.

And you may be right.

The fact is, I have a hard time seeing
Benny as a parent.

But what I have seen in Benny is...
enormous capacity to develop and grow,

and a still bigger capacity to love.

And that combination makes it difficult
to preclude the fact that he could be a

parent.

I really think I'm making the right
call, Leland.

Could be right, could be wrong. The only
thing I'm telling you is that it's

premature.

And what do we do in the meantime?

In the meantime, I talk to Benny.

I make sure he wears a prophylactic. And
if he doesn't?

It's not like you'll be there at the
appropriate moment, Leland.

But I trust him.

And if I'm not sure he's being
responsible about it, then we chaperone

Well, that's still less extreme than a
sterilization.

Okay. For now, I'll hold off.

I just pray to God this works out.

So do I.

Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a
verdict?

We have, Your Honor. What say you? In
the matter of Randall Furrier's ink

Save the Animals Foundation, we find in
favor of the defendant.

Your Honor.

Motion for judgment notwithstanding the
verdict or in the alternative of a new

trial. Opposed. I'll see counsel in my
chambers immediately.

Members of the jury, it is my custom at
this time to dismiss you and to thank

you for your service.

Unfortunately, however, all I can do
here is dismiss you.

And I would be remiss if I didn't convey
to you just how disappointed I am in

your decision.

If you had found for the plaintiff but
denied punitive damages, I could have

that stand.

If you had awarded nominal compensatory
damages, I could have let that stand.

But an outright verdict for the
defendant when the facts were so clearly

uncontroverted suggests to me that you
were not impartial.

That you disregarded the law in order to
punish a plaintiff that you didn't

like.

Now, yes, my stomach was turned by that
videotape, too.

And I'm sure the lawyers were affected
by the footage as well. But we all

continued to do our jobs. You people
didn't.

You let yourselves become inflamed, and
you ignored your obligation to be

objective.

Now, I blame myself for admitting the
tape into evidence, but more than that,

blame myself for putting so much trust
in you because you failed miserably.

Motion for JNOV is denied, but the
verdict is set aside. Motion for a new

is granted.

I'll see counsel in chambers.

That's all.

It's time for a change.

I'm just finding my rhythm, Leland. Now
you're coming in straight and fat.

Look, it's only the third inning. Just
let me... Look, you got us down by three

runs already. I can't wait for you to
turn around.

Abby! This is ridiculous.

If I was a lawyer, I wouldn't be yanked.
This is typical of the type of respect

secretaries get around here. Second
base.

I get no support. The fielding stinks.

Second base, Roxanne.

Just give him a jump.

In and out. Move it around.

Only jump.

happened to the game? I left after the
first inning.

Why? Well, I got a little winded running
the bases and I started to pant and

gasp and naturally I thought about all
of you.

And I figured that as good as childhood
dreams may be, parenthood dreams are

better.

If I could get up, I'd kiss you, honey.

Lie there and wheeze.

I'll take over now. Okay.

Transitional breathing.

Why didn't you just direct the verdict
if you weren't going to let it stand?

Because I expected the jury to follow
the evidence.

You can't just throw a whole trial down
the dumper like this. The jury threw the

trial down the dumper.

Since I'm the one that's wearing the
robe, I'm the one that's got to fix it.

So, let's fix it, gentlemen, right now.

What are you saying, Your Honor?

I'm saying that he's about to make an
offer of $100 ,000, and you're about to

accept. Well, that's not enough. No, no,
no, no, no, no. You people don't seem

to understand.

Now, Mr. Cifuentes, the negative
publicity from another trial will be

for your client's business, and you know
that, plus which you'll probably lose

if today's verdict is an indication.

And, Mr. Trishuta, the expense of a new
trial could easily cost you more than

$100 ,000.

Ten times that if you should somehow get
beat.

My hands are tied, Your Honor. My client
refuses to cough up a nickel. Well,

then untie your damn hands and tell your
client that she better settle this

thing. And if she still refuses, then
you remind her that I'm going to be

sitting on the bench for any retrial.

Now, are we getting a clear picture?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Sepuentes?

Oh, yes, I know you're going to lose
your big contingency fee.

But at least your client can claim a
victory here, which is probably more

he'll get from a second trial, which
could take years, given the way that

cases can get buried in the court of
ducats.

I'll recommend the offer.

Oh, good.

Well, you both can go now.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Win for the Vinted. Just singles. No
need to panic.

There's one out. Nobody on. Last inning
and we're losing. I'll panic if I want

to. Come on. Hey!

We're going to win this thing. You
watch.

All right, Jonathan.

I'm not up, Leland.

Benny's up after mine.

It's back out.

Hey, shake it off, Benno. It's good that
you whipped. I prefer to get my game

-winning homers with two outs.

Back it up, boys.

Wait your pitch, Arnold.

Hey, forget it.

They were all good pitches.

I stink.

Come on, that pitch can be something I
can hit.

Smacking it right out of here.

Probably left center.

Stretch it out a little. That's all.

He's all mouth.

I do this all the time.

He just said I didn't have to get the
operation.

That's good.

Yeah.

Alice, do you ever want to have a baby?

care of it.

Because you're retarded?

Yeah.

Retarded people can have babies.

But what if they weren't retarded?

What if they were smart?

So?

They would be ashamed.

No, I wouldn't.

But what if something really bad
happened to it?

Like what?

I don't know.

We can take care of it.

We could help each other.

I love you, Benny.

I love you too.
