All language subtitles for LA Law s07e04 Wine Knot

Previously on L .A. Law. You never left
the hotels?

Of course I left the hotels.

This is a new dawn, a new day.

A new me.

Becker, get a haircut.

You look ridiculous.

I'll call you back.

Stewart!

How am I supposed to work with all this
racket?

I fixed the record player.

The area in Stewart's brain that's been
affected has to do with the storage of

information.

A full or even partial recovery could
take months.

The doctor doesn't know anything.

And neither do I. I can't... Why can't I
remember? Don't know the people in

those pictures. I can't remember the
name of our son.

Would you prosecute this case? That's up
to the DA's office. Who's telling the

truth? We'll find out. Then it's
possible Markowitz provoked his

Anything's possible.

If you believe that, be prepared.

Because if you lose this election, and
your remaining option is returning to

firm, It will be a cold place indeed.

Look what you've done now, Daddy.

Look what you've gone and done.

Go to sleep now.

Every night you are in my dreams.

Why are you trapped in here?

Dream of the East.

Hey, come on, Tennessee, let's take a
free ride, huh?

Before we begin, I'd just like to

say one thing.

It's great to be here. You were missed,
Douglas. I'm sure Jonathan Rollins is

happy to be home as well.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm able to return.

We need your contribution, Charlie.

We'll come back. Having dispensed with
the pleasantries, let's get down to

business. Where's the half and half?
Where are the bagels?

Benny is really dropping the ball here,
Douglas. As I was saying, Weston versus

Weston. Yeah, we're going over the final
settlement offer this morning. Why are

Gwen and Ann Kelsey handling the divorce
for a potential multi -million dollar

client? Alec Weston wasn't happy with
Arnold's performance.

You were fired?

The guy's used to calling the shots.

We had a difference of opinion.

We need Weston's business. Make sure you
make him happy. I'll reiterate that

request to Ann when she arrives with
Stuart, which at this rate may be

lunchtime. Moving on. Corcoran Winery
versus Sam Corcoran Winery. Sam is being

sued by his older brother who claims Sam
is marketing bad wine, causing consumer

confusion over the Corcoran name.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Thanksgiving at their house must be a

Two brothers haven't spoken in years.
Family name is all that's holding them

together. Keep us posted. Douglas, I
just want to go on the record. Once

I've been railroaded into taking a case
that I don't want.

Trade name disputes are outside my
expertise.

So is entertainment law.

I'll let this go for now. I don't want
to dissipate my chi.

Your chi?

You wouldn't understand.

Sorry we're late.

Stuart. Oh, this is a marvelous day
indeed.

Douglas, you're going to make Stuart
uncomfortable.

You requested frankness?

No, I didn't.

You honestly believe he's ready to come
back? He needs to be in a familiar

environment. What could be more familiar
than his own home? This is not open for

discussion. I am nothing if not
sympathetic to his mental condition. It

mental condition. I just don't believe
this is the best place for him to be. If

you don't start calling my husband by
his name, I swear... I'm thinking about

what's best for Stuart.

Since when did you ever think of anyone
but yourself?

Roxanne? You're 51 minutes late.

I have personal business.

That's what personal time is for. Such
time being before 8, after 6, and

weekends. I also have an appointment
later this morning. You're the office

manager, Roxanne. You're not setting a
good example.

Douglas, I have been working from sunup
to sunup, filling in for you.

I don't have someone to run errands. I
don't have a secretary.

It's just me.

Benny? I'd like a word with you.

Your what? Your name was brought up at
this morning's staff meeting.

It was?

Yes. Apparently, you haven't been doing
your job very well.

I haven't?

Finish delivering the mail.

Then come to my office.

Doors open, Gwen.

Have a minute.

Actually, I don't.

It's important.

I know everyone around here is angry
with me.

I want to apologize.

You've come to the wrong place looking
for absolution.

I don't think Stuart provoked his
attackers.

I read what you said in the newspapers.
You know how those things get twisted

around, taken out of context.

I was in a difficult situation. A
difficult situation is watching your

lie in a hospital bed, not knowing if he
will ever regain consciousness.

You don't think I'm aware that...
Stuart, never!

looked at another human being with
anything but compassion and humor.

Please leave.

Come on in, Gwen.

At least the voters

in Jonathan Rollins' district knew a
coward when they saw one.

Alec Weston's waiting in the conference
room.

I'm ready.

Mr.

Corcoran, how long has the Corcoran
family been making wine in the Napa

My great -grandfather brought grape
cuttings from Bordeaux in 1892.

My family's been selling wine under the
Corcoran label ever since.

Your great -grandfather, your family...
Mr. Becker, I will not tolerate

outbursts of any kind.

Sorry, Your Honor.

When did you start working at the
winery?

Spring of 66.

I was in high school, part -timed, after
school and on the weekends alongside my

father. When did you begin running
Corcoran Winery? Twelve years ago when

father died.

And what about your brother, Sam?

Sam never showed any interest in the
business. Objection. Sustained.

Mr. Corcoran, how is the winery doing
now?

Last year, Corcoran Chardonnay was one
of the top sellers in California.

And this year? Sales are down.

Why is that? Sam insists on selling
these bottled chemistry experiments and

using the Corcoran name.

Objection. No foundation.

Sustained. I have to protect my business
and the family name. Making fine wine

is not a hobby. It's a serious
commitment.

Don't you think I know that? Strike the
last remarks from both Mr. Corcoran's.

I won't warn either of you again.

Nothing further.

Counselor, your witness.

How do you feel about Sam?

He's my little brother. So you hold him
no ill will? Objection. Relevance.

Trying to establish bias, Your Honor?

Overruled.

Well, Mr. Corcoran?

Not personally, no. Five years ago when
he wanted to return to the winery,

didn't you turn him away? He only wanted
to do things his way. He didn't have

the experience.

How experienced were you when you became
a vintner? Maybe if Sam hadn't run off

in the first place, if he'd shown any
maturity at all. How mature was he

supposed to be at 18?

I never had the chance to be 18.

The fact remains you resent Sam's
freedom and the choices he made. Look, I

always working, mucking around in the
mud, fixing irrigation pumps, swatting

away flies. Now you're so upset with
him, you'll do anything to stop Sam from

succeeding. Objection.

It's good to see you hold no ill will.
Mr. Becker.

Withdrawing.

Nothing further.

Two Picasso lithos, a Monet and a
Rauschenberg.

The artwork stays with Elaine.

The Brentwood estate?

Properties assessed at over 2 .5
million.

The children should stay with their
home.

Alec retains the townhouse in Beverly
Hills, the apartment in Manhattan, as

as the cabin in Aspen. At least you
won't hear me complaining about the

That covers community assets. Shall we
move on?

We haven't discussed Weston Realty.
Weston Realty's value is reflected in

offer. Gwen?

Current figures of... Mrs. Weston
intends to retain her partnership in

Realty. Absolutely not. I'm afraid my
client sees it differently.

Weston Realty is a virtual empire.

That I built.

Elaine Weston was managing partner eight
years, during which time Holdings

tripled. I worked just as hard as you
building up that company.

You can't simply push me aside.

You want out of my life. You want out of
my business, too. You can't bully me

anymore, Alec.

I'm standing up for myself.

Hey, Benny.

What are you doing?

I'm restructuring tax shelters in the
Barrow estate.

Oh.

Stuart.

Mr. Brackman's going to yell at me.

How do you know?

Well, he said, Benny, you haven't been
doing your job very well.

And then he said, finish delivering the
mail and come to my office.

Well, I don't want to go to his office.

You know something, Benny?

I don't want to restructure the Barrow
estate.

Transferring property holdings at
depreciated value to the heirs reduces

estate taxes by 16%. Who cares?

Is this what I used to do all day?

Well, you work here.

It's your job, I guess.

Hey, Ben.

Take the day off.

But today's not the weekend.

It is if we say it is. Come on. What are
we doing?

We're getting out of here, Benny.

But I don't want to get fired.

Hey, look, it's okay. You're with me.

Come on.

I thought somebody was going to catch
us.

Hey, taking a freight elevator, Benny,
great idea.

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

What do you want to do?

I don't know. What do you want to do?

Well, we can do whatever we want to do.

We go to my house and watch TV.

Hey, that's my bus.

You take the bus?

Number 320, transfer to number 207.

$1 .35.

Come on.

Both ways.

Come on, we're going to miss it.

Wait, wait, okay.

I'm coming.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tell us
about the Sam Corcoran Winery. I have

different grape varietals.

Since my overall volume is small,
there's room for experimentation.

Such as?

Varying levels of sugars, adjusting
temperatures, trying different

casks. Why experiment?

Well, every...

great winemaker, has a signature style.

I'm just trying to find my own.

Now, why did you want to start your own
winery?

After being away from Napa Valley, I
realized that it was my home, and I

to be part of the family's tradition.

Why use the Corcoran name?

Your brother's winery was already
established.

It's my name, too.

Nothing further.

Isn't it true that last year you
recalled 200 cases of Zinfandel? Yes,

was due to a miscalculation with the new
formula. That problem's been corrected.

Do you have any formal winemaking
training?

I took several viticulture courses at UC
Davis.

But you didn't receive a degree, did
you? No. In fact, you dropped out of

freshman year.

Objection relevant.

Go to defendant's history of failing to
sustain a long -term interest in his

endeavors, whether they be vocational or
avocational.

I'll allow it. Isn't it likely that your
foray into the winemaking business will

end like everything else in your life, a
failed effort? I am not going to fail,

despite what my brother tells you. Now,
thank you, Mr. Corcoran. That's all.

You may step down, Mr. Corcoran.

The court will take a 15 -minute recess.

Why do you think I had to get away from
Greg in the first place, huh? It's

because he never believed that I could
do anything, not half as well as him.

weren't willing to learn, Sam. You had
no patience.

When things didn't go your way, you just
took off. You wouldn't let me breathe.

Not right.

Even the cheapest wine's got to be able
to breathe. Otherwise, it's just no

good. Isn't that right, big brother?

Whoa. Hey.

Some things never change.

So what are you saying? If we go to
court, Elaine could win?

Well, the way the partnership is
structured, your wife owns 50%. This was

going in. We wanted to avoid having a
judge rule the company be sold.

I'm not liquidating a business I spent
over half my life building.

Elaine wants Western Realty?

I want the kids.

You told me you didn't want custody.
Elaine will do anything to keep her

children. They are your children, too,
not bargaining chips.

I will not pay to be lectured. I hired
Mackenzie Brackman to protect my

interests. Do you have any grounds for a
custodial dispute?

Elaine had an affair last year.

Extramarital affairs or not? With our
next -door neighbor's son. He was 19

old at the time.

I have the love letters he sent Elaine.

Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt. Anne,
it's Stuart and Benny.

They're missing.

If you'll excuse me.

Her son?

Uh, husband, Mr. Weston, perhaps we
should finish this later. No, now is not

time to let up.

Ann Kelsey is an excellent attorney. If
she doesn't recommend suing for

custody... I want to know what you
think.

I really don't think it's my place.

It's not up to you or Miss Kelsey to
determine my wife's fitness now, is it?

Miss Taylor, I believe that you are
going to make an excellent attorney.

But at the moment, I need someone who is
going to work with me.

So... You're suggesting that we
blackmail your wife into dropping her

Weston Realty. I am suggesting that we
remind my wife that there is the

possibility that she could lose her
children.

Problem is, a love letter doesn't prove
anything.

Well, I know Elaine, and Elaine won't
take that chance.

Do you believe your wife is an
inadequate mother?

No.

Of course.

That doesn't mean we can't make a judge
feel differently.

You know, I'm thinking, Ben.

Maybe we shouldn't go to your place.

Then we should get off.

Well, I mean, we can go someplace.

Where? I don't know. I bet this bus goes
a lot of places.

Are you two getting off or what?

No, we're going to stay on.

Well, then, sit down.

Right.

we get started, one final warning.

If either of you make one more outburst,
I'll hold you both in contempt.

Mr. Becker, your witness.

Could you please state your name and
occupation for the court?

Archie.

Archie Briggs, oenological expert.

What? A wine consultant.

Thank you. Let's move on. Mr. Briggs,
have you tasted the 1990 Corcoran

Chardonnay? On several occasions.

And have you had the opportunity to
sample my client's release?

Yes, at this year's Crestridge Tasting
Championships.

It had a surprisingly marvelous nose,
almost tropical, with a

rich style, but not full -blown.
Objection. What is he talking about?

In layman's terms, please, Mr. Briggs.

oak assertiveness with just a hint of
impertinence. Gee, thanks.

Compare now, if you would, Sam's
Chardonnay with the original Corcoran

Chardonnay. Well, I found the Corcoran
Chardonnay a nice table wine, but hardly

stimulating. Objection. It's actually
quite ordinary, in fact. I object to

witness. Too late, Mr. Richards. Both
parties agree that Mr. Briggs is

to testify as an expert.

Well, of course they agreed. Lawyers
know zilch about wine. I never met a

who would spend more than $8 on a
bottle.

Objection! Mr. Briggs!

Cheap, little, money -grubbing parent
night. Of course it is never too late

me to disagree that Mr. Briggs is
competent to testify as an expert. The

is excused. You can't do that.

I just did.

His testimony is ordered stricken.

And if you're not happy, Mr. Becker, you
can take me up on a writ.

Frankly, I have had it up to here with
these experts.

Since this case is about consumer
perception, I'm suggesting we let the 12

consumers sitting on the jury make their
own evaluation.

Any objections?

No objection, Your Honor. None here.

Good. Then we'll reconvene this
afternoon at 2 for an official wine

Who's going to bring the crackers and
brie?

Court is adjourned.

This is fun.

Yeah, what did I tell you?

How come we never did this before?

I don't know.

We're

kids.

I'll give you 20 bucks if you jump in.

I'll give you 20 bucks.

Done.

No problem.

Oh, I didn't mean... Water's probably
warm. Salty, but warm. Mr. Stewart,

now. Wait? Why wait?

This is gonna be a hoot. No, don't!

You really thought I was gonna do it?

I know you were teasing.

Snoop! You did?

No.

What's next?

I don't know.

Maybe we should go back to work.

Think so?

Well, last time I was out too long,
Roxanne yelled at me.

Said I was irresponsible.

Where do we get the bus?

Oh, that's all right. Never mind. We'll
walk.

Isn't that too far?

Somebody give us a ride.

A stranger?

Hey, Ben.

Strangers are just people you haven't
met yet. I read that in Reader's Digest.

And keeps a copy in the bathroom.

Colonial black, two -line inscription.

Size wasn't marked on this.

I don't remember.

Did you keep your receipt?

How about your brochure? Funeral homes
always write it down in the brochure for

the customers.

I ordered my father's headstone over a
year ago.

Maybe I should talk to Mr. Kratzer. He's
the one I dealt with at the funeral

home. No good.

Kratzer passed away.

Don't worry, Miss Melman.

We'll find your father.

Hey, look.

We found it?

No, Cratchers' headstone. What a
coincidence.

Kind of spooky, huh?

Mr. Corelli, whenever I go to the
cemetery, I spend all my time searching

mound of dirt.

Now, why should I have to look all over
Kingdom Come just to visit my father's

grave? Miss Melman, I found it.

It's Millman with an A.

Hey, gorgeous.

Hey.

You're not speaking to me either?

Not exactly a hero's welcome this
morning.

You noticed?

Today's news is tomorrow's garbage. Old
headlines end up lining somebody's

birdcage. Yeah, just call me Guano.

Any word?

They've been gone for hours.

No, man is still out searching.

I'm beginning to grow concerned.

Maybe I should go too.

Yeah, Stuart and Benny. Could be almost
anywhere.

Excuse me. What is it, Gwen?

Alec Weston's asked if I could represent
him in the settlement conference while

Anne's unavailable.

Well, I'm aware that under
apprenticeship guidelines, you are

client negotiations unsupervised.

Perhaps we should wait for Anne.

He prefers not to postpone this any
longer.

Would you like me to speak to Weston?

He doesn't want another lawyer.

Douglas? Yes?

Alec Weston has previously consulted
with Arnold and with Ann.

We don't want him searching elsewhere.

Leland, I'm confident I can handle this
case.

All right, I'm giving you authority to
proceed.

Many problems arise. You come to me
immediately.

I can't just wait around here. I gotta
go look for them.

Once again, examine the color.

Now roll your glass, releasing the
aromatic components of the wine.

Sniff the bouquet.

And taste.

Remember, a small chip leaves room in
the mouth. You want the wine to drench

your tongue.

Notice the different sensations.

Roll the wine to the tip of your tongue
for sweetness and back for bitterness.

And spit.

Objection. Juror number seven swallowed
again.

Mr. Richards.

I believe we're through, Your Honor.

Bayliss, bust the glasses and cups.

Mr. Becker, call your next witness.

I ask that Greg Corcoran take the stand.

Objection. Defense has already had his
cross of this witness.

New information has come to my
attention, Your Honor. New information?

When? I'll allow it.

Relax, Richards. Have a drink.

Stuart, I'm tired. I've got to sit down.

You've been out here a long time.

I don't think we're going to get a ride.

That last guy almost died.

Benny, look.

Hey, here, boy.

Hey, boy.

Here, boy.

Maybe he's a girl.

If you look underneath, you can tell.

Look how scared he is.

He's going to get hit.

He's all alone, Benny.

We gotta take care of them.

How? Fuck.

Mr.

Corcoran, you claim your brother's wine
is inferior.

Yet during the tasting, you didn't take
so much as a sip from your glass, did

you? No. Why not?

Objection. Overruled. I didn't need to.

Mr. Corcoran, have you ever tasted wine
made by Sam?

No. Because you have so little regard
for everything he does?

No, that isn't it. Then why is it you
refuse to sip Sam's wine?

I remind you, Mr. Corcoran, you're still
under oath.

I'm a recovering alcoholic, Mr. Becker.
I haven't had a drink in three years.

Mr. Corcoran, how can you possibly
question the quality of your brother's

if you've never even tasted it?

Objection. We have independent evidence
that shows... Overruled.

I want the witness to answer.

I know what Sam is capable of. Aren't
you bringing this lawsuit to punish Sam?

The little brother who couldn't
possibly... Objection.

Hasn't he proven himself, Mr. Corcoran?

He's your brother, for God's sake.

Why don't you give him a break?

Your Honor.

Mr. Becker, that's enough.

I'm sorry.

I have no further questions.

Thank you for coming back on such a
short notice.

I've discussed a revised settlement with
my client, and we are prepared to

increase the buyout.

You're wasting our time. It's not about
money. Mrs. Weston seeks to retain her

partnership. Well, Mr. Weston is
unwilling to concede that. However, in

interest of avoiding protracted court
proceedings, we're willing to go as high

as 5%. I guess we'll see you in court.

You should be aware that we're filing a
petition for custody.

On what grounds?

My client has reason to believe that
Mrs. Weston is an unfit mother.

Oh, my God.

Does the name Paul Corvallo mean
anything to you? We have several letters

received from Mr. Corvallo which seem to
suggest that you two are more than

friends. What's going on here? You
bastard.

Those letters were locked in my dresser.
The boy was 19 years old, Elaine.

You're turning this into something
sordid and dirty.

You slept with him. Paul loved me. He
listened to me.

That isn't something you can understand,
Alec. You don't love. You possess.

Accept his offer.

What's up?

I've changed my mind. I'm not going to
fight to use the Corcoran name.

What? We just turned your brother's case
inside out. After my dad died, Greg

stepped right into his shoes, and he
treated me like a kid, but he was right

because I was spoiled and selfish.

If this means so much to Greg, I am just
pulling out. If you really want to make

it up to him, don't run away again.

Talk to him.

I don't know what to say to him.

We're just so different.

You're not that different.

You two compliment one another.

And nothing exists or functions except
in direct contrast with its own

opposite. Think of yourselves as fire
and water. In opposition, both may kill.

Yet in harmony, they bestow life.

A boiling cauldron over an open flame.

The two of you together, the
possibilities are boundless.

When the hell did you go to law school?

Tibet?

Sam, some things you just hear in the
whisper of the wind.

Well, I found you before I left. I
wanted to thank you.

What, for helping you strong -arm your
wife into excitement?

For helping me keep my company intact.
That's what I hired you to do, and you

did it very well.

Actually, I just followed your lead, Mr.

Weston. But you knew I would, right?

Oh, has your conscience bothered me? If
you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work

to do. We won.

And you can't tell me the partners in
this firm aren't very pleased.

You stole your wife's letters. She could
sue for invasion of privacy. Well, then

I guess it's a very good thing that you
are going to be my new lawyer.

Hurry up and pass the bar.

Any sign of him? Nothing.

Douglas is out searching, too.

Maybe Douglas was right. This was
probably too soon for Stuart to come

work. Ann?

Any news?

No. And I can't file a missing persons
report for 24 hours.

I've been to my house, Benny's house, up
and down dozens of nearby streets.

Lincoln! Lincoln!

Stuart?

Hi, Ann.

Stuart, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, really.

Where have you been?

At the beach.

The beach? It was his idea.

It's the last stop on the bus line, and
we would have taken the bus back except

the driver wouldn't let us bring Lincoln
on. Hey, boy.

Hey, come on, boy. We've got to ride in
a truck.

You hitchhiking?

Am I in trouble again?

Hey, how you doing?

Stuart.

Isn't he a great pup? We named him
Lincoln because he was trapped at the

intersection between Lincoln and
Colorado Boulevard.

Let's go home, Stuart. Colorado would
have been a stupid name, huh?

Look at him go.

Somebody corral that much.

Somebody should find his owner, Stuart.
Oh, no. He doesn't have one. No collar.

I'm going to keep him. You can't,
Stuart. Huh? Why?

Because I said so. Anne, he's mine. No,
Stuart. Anne, I saved him all by myself.

Stuart, please.

We'll talk about it when we get home.
No, not without Lincoln. He'll be fine.

No! Stuart, we're going home now. I'm
not going home. I'm not going home. I'm

not going home.

Douglas. What's the latest on Benny and
Stuart?

Both safe and sound. Great.

Roxanne, what happened here?

Stuart got upset about Lincoln and
tossed the chair through the window.

Oh. Abraham Lincoln.

I came back, and it was scary.

I know.

Stuart was mad.

Stuart wasn't mad at me.

No.

No, he was mad at himself.

Because he can't remember things.

Like your dad, Murray?

That's right.

Like Murray.

Only he had a disease called
Alzheimer's.

Once, Murray forgot it was Christmas.

Mm -hmm. He got upset about that.

Stuart's feeling confused, too.

Murray didn't get better.

Is Stuart going to get better?

I hope so, Benny.

Me too.

Night, Roxanne.

Night, Penny.

Did you drop your beer?

Did you drop?

Did you drop?

It's okay.

It's okay.

You want to see

me?

I received a call from Elaine Weston's
attorney.

Is there a problem?

He feels that you and Alec Weston
coerced his client into a settlement

dubious means. Leland, I did nothing
unethical.

Now, there's a fine line between what is
ethical and what is moral.

Gwen, if you had a problem, you should
have come to me. I made a decision that

was in the best interest of my client, a
client I was told to make happy because

we needed the business.

Now, hold on a minute, Glenn. If Arnold
Becker had done the same thing, he'd be

applauded, but I'm second -guessed,
reprimanded? You're damn right.

Someday you'll make a committed
attorney, because you're passionate.

But while you're under apprenticeship
here, you represent this firm.

In the future, when you come across
situations where you're not 100 % sure

how to proceed, come to me.

I understand.

I'll see you in the morning.

Good night, Leland.

How'd you do in court?

Picked a winner.

You? Me too.

Yeah. I think.

Mr. Weston, please. Gwen Taylor.

Mr. Weston, about these flowers you sent
me... What?

I just assumed they were from you.

Sorry.

Goodbye.

Hi. You just delivered flowers to my
office, Gwen Taylor at McKenzie

Mm -hmm.

The card was blank. Can you tell me who
sent them?

No name.

Oh, how are they paid for?

Right.

Thanks.

You look tired. I am.

First day back, searching for Benny and
Stuart.

I haven't fully recovered from my
incarceration, which, by the way, has

my entire outlook.

Is that so?

Every moment was a challenge to keep my
spirit unbroken in the face of

humiliation and despair.

Of course, until you've been in the
inside, you can't understand.

What saw you through the darkest moment?

Soap and a rope.

I've been mulling over the idea of
writing a book about my hellish

You think maybe we should paint the
office?

Brighten the outlook around here.

Painters are expensive. They charge by
the hour.

I went looking for Benny and Stuart
because somehow I felt responsible that

ran off. Of course, now I realize if
you'd been my best man, none of this

have happened.

Boom.

I thought I smelled popcorn.

I thought everybody left today.

You mean you're not sharing?

Still

studying securities

law? I have an exam next week.

Non -accomplice mentis.

Funny.

I left something on your desk.

You did?

Uh -huh.

Thanks. You're welcome.

It's just a back issue of the journal.

A what?

Law Journal article on 10b -5
disclosures.

You mean those flowers weren't from you?

No. Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be. No, I know. I shouldn't have.

Please.

You know what this is?

A case of wine?

Oh, not just any case.

Ambrosial Nectar Corcoran Estate Bottle
Cabernet Sauvignon, 1958.

Neat. A gift from Sam and Greg Corcoran.

Congratulations. They settled out of
court and decided to work together. And

know the best part?

After years of helping couples dissolve
their relationships through divorce,

getting two people together feels
wonderful.

A token of appreciation and celebration
of the newly formed Corcoran Brothers

Winery. Make nice Christmas gifts.

Are you kidding? This stuff costs $200 a
pop.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

Come on, Rox, talk to me.

Am I not a friend?

First, last, foremost.

Actually, that's just it.

You're the most important person in my
life. You're the most important person

my life. There's something wrong with
that.

All my closest friends are here in this
firm. I have a failed marriage.

I have no parents, no brothers, no
sisters.

Hey, I get lonely too.

You have a career that... It fills your
life. It gives you purpose and

direction. I like my job, but it's not
enough.

Do you want a raise? I can speak with
Douglas.

Arnie, I want to have a baby.

Rox, I don't know.

I mean, I don't think so. Not with you?

Did you meet someone?

No, not yet.

But I'm ready.

I have space in my heart and in my home.
All I need is somebody to fill that

space.

Roxanne, I think we need to open up one
of these bottles of Cabernet and talk

things over.

I'm not going to change my mind.

I'm going to make a good mother.

Well, then this deserves a toast.

Jonathan. Hi.

I just thought Stuart might like a
friend.

I had him washed and dipped and I even
bought him a leash.

Stuart's tie.

Anne.

These last few months I've been
pretzeling myself in knots, trying to

everyone and making excuses.

Truth is, I don't know who I am anymore.

But I do know that I was wrong.

And the last thing I want to do in the
world is add to your pain.

Okay, I guess you can sleep in the
corner. Come on.

Come on.

No!
