1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,280 The fact that he's in today should tell you most of what you need to know. What 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,500 does that tell you? Well, he was only out three days. That should tell you 3 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,040 there was no invasive surgery, and that should tell you there was no 4 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,200 metastasized tumor. How do you know so much about this? 5 00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:16,040 Oh, I've been in consultation all week. A very good friend of mine is one of the 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,160 leading urologists out here. I've spoken with him. I've spoken with Mel 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,160 Silverblatt, whom you know, who's in Sloan Kettering. You're convinced it's 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,820 prostate cancer? Oh, it's absolutely prostate. 9 00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,600 Well, look, just so I know, what does it do to the surprise party? Because I've 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,400 got a lot of organizing to do. Let's see how he is when he comes in. It is his 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,680 60th birthday. 65th birthday. That merits a celebration of some sort, no 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,160 how he is. I'm sure he's fine. 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,220 Leland, welcome back. 14 00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:39,500 Thank you. 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,600 Carry on. 16 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,200 Cornish versus McMillan. 17 00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:48,280 Motion for summary judgment pending. I'm expecting a decision by the end of this 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,660 week. Killian versus Burt Robinson Enterprises. 19 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,980 Action for the return of goods. It falls squarely under the UCC. I'm expecting 20 00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:55,699 the settle. 21 00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:56,880 Schoen versus Schoen Limited. 22 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,740 We represent Isidore Schoen. 23 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,580 as we have for many lawsuits over many years. 24 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,980 He's being sued this time for wrongful termination by his son. 25 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,900 Efforts towards settlement having been unsuccessful. 26 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,400 We're proceeding to trial. 27 00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:12,180 Eli will be litigating. 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,480 That about does it. 29 00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,980 In that case, I have an announcement to make. 30 00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:21,460 At the end of this month, I will be retiring. 31 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,260 Now, I understand that... 32 00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:28,270 This may have some ramifications insofar as the firm is concerned, and while I 33 00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:34,250 will do my best to minimize the impact, the loss of certain clients is probably 34 00:01:34,250 --> 00:01:35,250 unavoidable. 35 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:40,890 I will not be taking on any additional business. I will be disengaging from 36 00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:43,090 whatever business that I have been involved in. 37 00:01:43,810 --> 00:01:46,390 Leland, why are you doing this? 38 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:52,170 I am retiring for medical reasons, and I'd just as soon leave it at that. 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,320 He's dying. 40 00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:00,380 He's not dying. 41 00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:04,940 He has prostate cancer. He's had a transurethral resection, and in all 42 00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:05,980 likelihood, he's going to be fine. 43 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,120 What you're hearing here is the emotional spasm of a man who's coming to 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,940 with the fact that he has cancer. All I can 45 00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:19,320 say is thank you, Leland. 46 00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:23,480 I've just gotten through being arrested for murder. I've been the victim of a 47 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,980 deranged prosecutor bent on destroying me. 48 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:31,360 I just set about doing some sense of normalcy to my life, and now I have to 49 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,600 with his having cancer. 50 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,980 This couldn't have happened at a worse time. 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,620 I'm sure he didn't plan this, Arnie. I'll tell you something else. Cold 52 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,740 though this may sound, when he retires, I've got dibs on his office. 53 00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:36,690 Buyer beware in the thoroughbred game, Ben, especially with the cheapos. 54 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:42,730 But if I ever saw a horse ripe for the plucking, Tammy F. is the one. 55 00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:44,430 I like his name. 56 00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:47,750 Granted, he's been nothing special so far, but he's only four. 57 00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:50,650 He's down, runs without front wraps, and he's all heart. 58 00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:55,690 And what did I tell you about horses who are all heart, huh? He said that they 59 00:04:55,690 --> 00:05:00,630 always win. And he said they make you a lot of money. And that's what Tammy F. 60 00:05:00,690 --> 00:05:01,690 is going to do for us. 61 00:05:01,790 --> 00:05:03,210 It's gonna be a money -making machine. 62 00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:06,210 Because you know what else? You know what I know that no one else seems to 63 00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:09,690 This horse will kick ass on the grass, which is what he's running on tomorrow 64 00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:10,690 for the first time. 65 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:12,990 Where's he been running till now? 66 00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:15,130 The dirt, Ben. He's been running on the dirt. 67 00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:18,770 Tomorrow he's running on the turf, which is what he's bred for on the turf. This 68 00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:20,130 is a $50 ,000 horse. 69 00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:22,950 Well, how much does it cost? 70 00:05:23,950 --> 00:05:25,890 The guy who trains the horse owns the horse. 71 00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:27,270 He's got some debts. 72 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:29,530 Let him go for $12 ,000. 73 00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:31,870 $12 ,000. 74 00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:36,050 We're stealing them, Ben. We bet an extra $2 ,000 apiece, make back what we 75 00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:38,750 paid, have money in our pockets. This is a great country we're living in, huh? 76 00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:39,970 You're not kidding. 77 00:05:40,510 --> 00:05:42,910 You know who's gonna be riding them for us tomorrow, huh? 78 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:47,670 Who? Eddie De La Jose. For my money, the best grass jockey there is. Tuck him in 79 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:51,690 behind the pace, sit tight against the rail, wait till the speed comes back to 80 00:05:51,690 --> 00:05:53,570 him, and then down the lane. Ba -da -bing! 81 00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:55,489 Ba -da -bing? 82 00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:59,290 We go 12 for the animal, 4 for the bet. We're 50 -50 partners, $8 ,000 apiece. 83 00:05:59,290 --> 00:06:00,159 Can you handle it? 84 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,300 Can you come up with $8 ,000? 85 00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:04,560 Let me talk to Rosalie. 86 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:06,560 I think I can. 87 00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:09,240 Tell her we're in for the time of our lives. 88 00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:14,280 I go for a checkup four times a year. 89 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,820 If there's something wrong with my prostate, I want to know about it. 90 00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:18,519 didn't do that? 91 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,480 No, Leland did not. If he had had a PSA on a more regular basis, he would have 92 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,060 known about this a lot earlier, believe me. 93 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:27,500 They say if you live long enough, most men will develop some form of prostate 94 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:28,500 cancer. No. 95 00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:30,370 Absolutely not. Not if you take care of yourself. 96 00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:32,230 It's one thing I don't have to worry about. 97 00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:36,510 I have other things to worry about. It's funny because he doesn't seem sick. 98 00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,750 Well, that's how it is with prostate cancer. It can be completely 99 00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:41,590 This is according to Mel. 100 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:44,870 My doctor wanted to know if they were going to start him on chemo. I had no 101 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:47,930 what to tell him. Mine wanted to know if he had had a bone scan. He wanted to 102 00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:49,110 know about distant metastasis. 103 00:06:49,330 --> 00:06:52,330 I had virtually no information for him. Which, when you're consulting with a 104 00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:54,910 doctor over the phone, is a pretty embarrassing position to be placed in. 105 00:06:55,010 --> 00:06:58,300 Stuart. This is not about you and your embarrassment. This is about Leland. 106 00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:01,780 Excuse me, Ann. I have been on the phone with doctors all week, not for me, for 107 00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:02,800 him, for Leland. 108 00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:06,800 This is not about me, because I am not suffering from prostate cancer. I happen 109 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,420 to have a very healthy prostate. As do I. When was the last time you had it 110 00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:13,780 looked at? As recently as last month. He had his checked on Monday. Yeah, that's 111 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:14,800 right, Miss Pot Shot. 112 00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:32,000 Hi. I got some cheese and bean and beef burritos. They're called gut busters. 113 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Well, we can eat outside if you want. 114 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Okay. 115 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,700 Rosalie? What? 116 00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:43,240 Dominic wants me to go partners with him on buying a horse. 117 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,780 What do you want to get a horse for? 118 00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:47,340 It's a race horse. 119 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,160 It's a turf horse, but it's been ridden in the dirt. And if we race it on the 120 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480 turf, he can make a lot of money for us. 121 00:07:55,850 --> 00:08:00,310 I need $8 ,000. 122 00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:01,870 What for? 123 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:07,810 $6 ,000 to buy the horse and then $2 ,000 to bet on him. 124 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:12,390 But we don't have $8 ,000 to buy a horse. 125 00:08:12,890 --> 00:08:16,210 Yeah, we do. We got $14 ,000 in the bank. 126 00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:20,630 That's our savings, Bing. We can't use that money to buy a horse. 127 00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:26,760 Okay. Mr. Stone, what is your relationship to the defendant? 128 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,320 I'm his son. 129 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,400 Do you also have a business relationship? 130 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,559 Yeah, I worked for him since I'm 15. 131 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:34,000 Are you working for him currently? 132 00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:37,880 No, I'm not. Some three and a half months ago, I was terminated. 133 00:08:38,419 --> 00:08:41,100 Would you describe the circumstances surrounding your termination? 134 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,940 Circumstances were that I signed for a shipment of corduroy late one afternoon, 135 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,140 and next morning I tried to go to work, and all the locks were changed. 136 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,020 What explanation were you given? 137 00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:53,280 I ordered the fabric without my father's approval. 138 00:08:53,790 --> 00:08:57,310 Is that the first time you did that? I make a thousand decisions a day, and 139 00:08:57,310 --> 00:09:00,470 of them I talk to him about and some I don't. Why, in your opinion, did your 140 00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:02,890 father be fit to fire you this time? 141 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:07,750 Because it's the only way he has got left to prove that he is still in 142 00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:10,690 That's why he calls me every morning, 6 o 'clock. 143 00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,230 That's why he yells. 144 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:17,270 That's why he gets everybody to answer to him about everything. 145 00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:20,890 Was there ever an agreement between your father and yourself? 146 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:23,730 under which he would relinquish control of the company? 147 00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:25,010 There was a promise. 148 00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:29,350 He told me when he was 70 years old, he was going to retire, and at that point, 149 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:30,410 I would run the company. 150 00:09:30,690 --> 00:09:32,290 How old is your father now, Mr. Schoen? 151 00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:33,690 He's 72. 152 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,570 And has he, in fact, retired? 153 00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:37,170 No, he has not. 154 00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:43,350 Given the atmosphere that existed between your father and yourself, one is 155 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:46,690 tempted to ask why you didn't just leave of your own free will. 156 00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:50,230 This is a family business. I never wanted to leave. 157 00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:52,530 I have nothing further. 158 00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:58,530 Did you or did you not tell a buyer for Bloomingdale's that your father tended 159 00:09:58,530 --> 00:10:01,710 to be one to five years behind the times where fashion is concerned? 160 00:10:01,970 --> 00:10:03,690 I know this woman for 20 years. 161 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:04,950 It was said in jest. 162 00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:08,850 Was it said in jest when you told a vice president at Bank Leumi that you 163 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:12,310 intended to manufacture the so -called mob bay line on your own? It was a 164 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:14,530 conversation. That is all that that was. 165 00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:16,630 Was it in jest when you tried to obtain financing? 166 00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:17,950 I'm not a serf. 167 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:22,190 Counselor, I am allowed to conduct business on my own. In your effort to 168 00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:25,590 financing, Mr. Shone, did you not say that two of the principal designers in 169 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:29,410 your father's business had committed to coming with you when you left? I brought 170 00:10:29,410 --> 00:10:31,450 those designers into this company. 171 00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:34,390 Were they not under contract with your father? My line is my line. I'm the one 172 00:10:34,390 --> 00:10:38,330 who set up the factories in Hong Kong and Indonesia to make the line. Mr. 173 00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:41,250 I went to all the stores to sell the line. Mr. Shone, please answer the 174 00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,170 question. He didn't do any of that. I did all of that. Now he wants to take it 175 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:47,470 all away from me and kick me out of my ass. I don't think so. 176 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,900 I don't think I'm going to take this lying down. 177 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:51,600 43 years old, Dad. 178 00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:53,740 Clock is running for me, too. 179 00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:05,600 Like what happens now? 180 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,400 It's too soon to tell. 181 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,060 What do you anticipate the actual consequences of his retirement and or 182 00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:15,180 be? I really don't know, Patrick. The fact is virtually all of our biggest 183 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:17,440 clients are here because of Leland McKenzie. 184 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,260 Would they leave? They might. Can they be replaced? 185 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Maybe they can. 186 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,300 The problem is, the one of us who's most capable of replacing them is Leland. 187 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,040 He's been the rainmaker around here since my father died. 188 00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:31,660 I never would have thought of Leland as someone who drums up business. 189 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:33,100 Why not? 190 00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:35,020 He seems too dignified. 191 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:36,880 Let me tell you something, Jan. 192 00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:40,860 In addition to having a first -rate legal mind, Leland McKenzie's the 193 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:44,040 salesman you'll ever meet. Do you think the firm can survive his leaving? 194 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,440 I don't know. Plus, we don't know how sick he is. 195 00:11:47,079 --> 00:11:49,600 Right. Makes it a little tough to plan for the future. 196 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,100 I haven't thought about the future. 197 00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:56,540 Hey, Denise. 198 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Give it here. 199 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,960 What's up, Dominic?

When your time's up, your time's up. 206 00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,080 You know, for someone who knew the guy his whole life, he seemed fairly 207 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,720 unperturbed. Death is a proper and inevitable end. 208 00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:31,300 I try not to expend a lot of emotion on it. 209 00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:32,780 It's an admirable train. 210 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:34,220 Thanks. 211 00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:39,020 What do you mean she said no? 212 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:44,060 Well, she said no.

She shops and she makes sure all the bills 226 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,640 paid. And you give her an allowance with which to do all that, all well and 227 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,600 good. But that, not this, this is a decision. 228 00:13:43,470 --> 00:13:46,470 You're the breadwinner. You're the man of the house. You're the decision 229 00:13:46,630 --> 00:13:49,530 You sit in the pilot's seat. You fly the plane. 230 00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:50,870 Simple as that. 231 00:13:54,090 --> 00:13:56,190 What has your relationship to Isidore shown? 232 00:13:56,510 --> 00:13:57,510 I'm his daughter. 233 00:13:57,710 --> 00:14:00,070 Have you spent time at your father's place of business? 234 00:14:00,470 --> 00:14:03,850 I used to work there. Were you in a position to observe your brother at 235 00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:08,510 Yes, I was. To the best of your knowledge, did he ever act with the 236 00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:10,950 undermining your father's control of the company? Objection. 237 00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:13,850 This witness is not in a position to testify to her brother's intention. 238 00:14:14,450 --> 00:14:16,650 Overruled. I'll allow it. 239 00:14:17,530 --> 00:14:21,370 Laura, my brother was trying to create something within the company that was 240 00:14:21,370 --> 00:14:26,410 hit. One year it was ties, another year it was tank tops, another year it was 241 00:14:26,410 --> 00:14:31,570 knocking off Guatemalan peasant blouses until he figured out that it was cheaper 242 00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:32,990 to just import the real thing. 243 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,140 I don't think that he was trying to undermine anyone. I think he was just 244 00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:38,099 to be a success. 245 00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,120 Would you tell us, Laura, why at the age of 35 you left the family business? 246 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,780 I couldn't take it. 247 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,780 My father yells. 248 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,340 He yells at the cutters. He yells at the 65 -year -old woman in the office who 249 00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:54,040 answers the phone. He yells at the designers all the time. And since I was 250 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,640 designer of sorts, my father yelled at me. 251 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,520 My brother is strong. 252 00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,920 He could take it. I'm not strong. 253 00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:03,460 I left. 254 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,940 I have no further questions. 255 00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:07,340 Do you work? 256 00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:08,900 Yes, I do. What do you do? 257 00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:10,680 I'm a freelance designer. 258 00:15:11,060 --> 00:15:13,320 How much did you make last year as a freelance designer? 259 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,420 Last year was a difficult year for me. I made very little. What did you live on? 260 00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:19,480 I received a monthly check from my father. 261 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,520 Did not your father inform you that it was time for you to start making a 262 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,840 living? Don't you think I want that? Isn't the reason you're up here today 263 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,760 testifying on behalf of your brother the fact that the check's finally stopped? 264 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,600 Believe it or not, Daddy. 265 00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:37,110 I have tried to make my way in the world. I have tried to have a skill and 266 00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:40,710 life and maybe even a family of my own. So far I haven't been too successful. 267 00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:44,090 Have you ever thought that maybe you had something to do with how hard all of 268 00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:47,610 this is for me? The witness will confine her remarks to answering the question 269 00:15:47,610 --> 00:15:50,310 she's being asked. I am not here because the check stopped. 270 00:15:51,890 --> 00:15:55,310 I'm here because I know what it did to me being your daughter and I know what 271 00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:59,050 did to my brother being your son. And of the two of you, he needs my help more 272 00:15:59,050 --> 00:16:00,050 than you do. 273 00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:03,800 I have no further questions. 274 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,260 Here's the memorandum and the glassman. The citations are at the end. 275 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040 Jane, how's your health? 276 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,820 My health? My health's fine. 277 00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:20,680 I just find myself thinking, what if it were me? 278 00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:25,340 What if what's happening to Mackenzie were happening to me? 279 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,720 But it's not. 280 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,079 Could be. 281 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,680 Could be happening to me. 282 00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:33,730 How horrible, you know? 283 00:16:34,350 --> 00:16:35,350 Sickness is horrible. 284 00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:38,430 I don't know. 285 00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:43,410 Maybe it's mortality itself that has me blue. 286 00:16:45,550 --> 00:16:48,930 I just keep thinking, is this it?

You actually believe it?

I did so for a variety of reasons. 323 00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:24,290 There were financial irregularities, to put it politely, and he was passing 324 00:19:24,290 --> 00:19:26,110 himself off as the head of the company. 325 00:19:26,650 --> 00:19:30,430 To whom did he represent himself as the head of the company, Mr. Schoen? Oh, to 326 00:19:30,430 --> 00:19:35,710 buyers from Bloomingdale's and Filene's and Carson, Piri Scott, to a factory 327 00:19:35,710 --> 00:19:40,330 owner in Hong Kong, to the district manager from the International Lady 328 00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:41,330 Workers Union. 329 00:19:41,530 --> 00:19:42,550 Is that enough? 330 00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:47,550 And how did you find out that he had so represented himself? 331 00:19:48,530 --> 00:19:49,850 People told me. 332 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:53,190 Objection. Hearsay. Oh, people didn't tell me. Mr. 333 00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:55,890 Schoen, permit me to rule on the objection. 334 00:19:56,650 --> 00:19:57,650 Before you respond? 335 00:19:58,030 --> 00:19:59,110 My apologies. 336 00:20:00,630 --> 00:20:03,590 I'm going to allow it for the fact of the utterance only. 337 00:20:03,810 --> 00:20:08,150 Proceed. It's been testified to by your son that you assured him you would step 338 00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:12,110 down and turn the company over to him when you reached the age of 70. Is that 339 00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:13,970 true? That was never meant to be unconditional. 340 00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:18,050 It was understood to be if circumstances permit. 341 00:20:20,210 --> 00:20:21,390 Circumstances don't permit. 342 00:20:23,030 --> 00:20:24,910 If I thought he was capable. 343 00:20:25,550 --> 00:20:30,110 If I thought he was honorable, I would have done it, and I would have done it 344 00:20:30,110 --> 00:20:31,110 happily. 345 00:20:32,590 --> 00:20:36,370 But I did not build this business so that he could destroy it. 346 00:20:36,770 --> 00:20:37,770 I have nothing further. 347 00:20:43,670 --> 00:20:48,670 Is it your contention, sir, that your son is incompetent? He is competent to 348 00:20:48,670 --> 00:20:54,150 a salesman. He is competent to work in a showroom. He is not competent to run a 349 00:20:54,150 --> 00:20:58,220 company. You dispute the fact that all decisions pertaining to the so -called 350 00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:00,740 Mabé line were made by Harold Schoen. 351 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,300 That's one line. 352 00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:03,780 Yes or no, Mr. Schoen? 353 00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:08,100 Yes, he ran that line. Would you characterize that line as successful? 354 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,820 He was in the right place at the right time. 355 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,880 Once. You measure success in this business over decades. 356 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,280 Would it be fair to say, sir, that you have some difficulty when it comes to 357 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,280 relinquishing control? 358 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,860 I have difficulty when it comes to betrayal. 359 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,880 That's with customers. That's with partners. 360 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:29,620 And that's with children. 361 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:31,500 I have no further questions. 362 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,940 You're going to put a knife in my back, Harold. 363 00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:36,440 Not while I'm still breathing. 364 00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:53,940 Come. 365 00:21:54,850 --> 00:21:58,590 Leland, I need to talk to you as both your partner and your friend.

Most people would be willing to provide a little more information for 562 00:33:32,170 --> 00:33:33,170 their loved ones, you know? 563 00:33:34,510 --> 00:33:36,030 Besides, what's the big mystery, Leland? 564 00:33:36,750 --> 00:33:37,950 You have prostate cancer. 565 00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:40,290 You have prostate cancer. 566 00:33:41,090 --> 00:33:45,130 But you were out of the office one week. That means you had a transurethral 567 00:33:45,130 --> 00:33:48,610 resection. If you had had a higher degree of metastasis, that means they 568 00:33:48,610 --> 00:33:52,150 have required a suprapubic. And if they had required a suprapubic, you would 569 00:33:52,150 --> 00:33:55,010 have been out of the office two weeks minimum. From where I'm standing, this 570 00:33:55,010 --> 00:33:55,849 pretty good news. 571 00:33:55,850 --> 00:33:57,610 All I want is a little more specifics. 572 00:33:58,410 --> 00:34:00,330 Stuart, what the hell are you talking about? 573 00:34:00,530 --> 00:34:03,950 I'm talking about the most commonly recommended alternative surgical 574 00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:06,790 for prostate cancer and what each one implies. 575 00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:08,810 I don't have prostate cancer. 576 00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:10,190 What are you talking about? 577 00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:12,530 I don't have prostate cancer. 578 00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:14,870 Now, what part of that don't you understand? 579 00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:19,790 Douglas told me you went in for an examination of the prostate and they 580 00:34:19,790 --> 00:34:21,010 something. That's right. 581 00:34:21,530 --> 00:34:22,790 That's what I told him. 582 00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:27,870 And what they found, since you're intent on specifics, was a level 3 melanoma. 583 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:32,260 Located in the region of my groin. While there is presently no indication of 584 00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:36,199 distant metastasis, the likelihood is that within five years I'll be dead. 585 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,159 Now, does that satisfy your curiosity? 586 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:46,040 I had no idea. 587 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,520 That was by design. 588 00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:51,719 What's your problem? 589 00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:53,620 They're here. 590 00:35:01,779 --> 00:35:02,779 Harold.

He's not here yet. He'll be here. 597 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,160 What are you offering? 598 00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:20,340 What are you looking for? 599 00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:24,140 Reinstatement, back pay with interest, money damages. 600 00:35:24,340 --> 00:35:27,520 I can get your reinstatement. No back pay, no money damages. 601 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,260 That's not going to do it. 602 00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:38,240 Harold, I suspect that in some hidden corner, you are profoundly grateful to 603 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,380 have hit 40 with your father still alive. 604 00:35:41,020 --> 00:35:41,879 Yeah, so? 605 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,580 So maybe you ought to do what you can to preserve the relationship. 606 00:35:45,180 --> 00:35:47,580 Leland, he's the one who terminated me. Why don't you go talk to him? 607 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,600 I will talk to him, but right now, I'm talking to you. 608 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:53,440 See, I've known you both a long time. 609 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,620 I know all about how difficult and unreasonable your father can be. I also 610 00:35:57,620 --> 00:35:59,080 that you are exactly like him. 611 00:35:59,470 --> 00:36:04,010 Given I feel that the trial is going extremely well for us, I'm compelled to 612 00:36:04,010 --> 00:36:06,590 why my client would take a deal like the one you're offering. 613 00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:11,410 Because the day is fast approaching when his father will no longer be here. 614 00:36:11,890 --> 00:36:15,290 That's a factor the legal process isn't meant to take into account, Mr. 615 00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:19,390 McKenzie. No, but it's a factor he should take into account. 616 00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:20,910 You should. 617 00:36:21,650 --> 00:36:22,650 Come on. 618 00:36:22,990 --> 00:36:24,310 He's going to live forever. 619 00:36:26,530 --> 00:36:27,530 Is he? 620 00:36:39,779 --> 00:36:40,980 Isidore?

No, no. 624 00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:52,640 It's because Mr. Levinson is smart enough to know what can't be done in 625 00:36:52,820 --> 00:36:55,660 We feel as though it's possible for this dispute to be resolved between the 626 00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:59,040 parties. What exactly do you think is going to happen to make it possible? 627 00:36:59,420 --> 00:37:01,020 We think you might come to your senses. 628 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,680 I should come to my senses. 629 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,360 You and your son both. 630 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,020 What do you propose I do? 631 00:37:07,420 --> 00:37:11,660 Reinstate your son and increase his pay by 20%. Why would I want to do that? 632 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,920 To not reinstate him makes absolutely no sense. 633 00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:17,900 He can make $200 ,000 a year more working for anyone else, and your 634 00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:21,180 can't afford to lose him. As for the pay raise, your children are getting 635 00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:22,180 everything anyway. 636 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,660 What difference does it make? 637 00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:24,900 Lest you've forgotten. 638 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,000 I drew your will.
