It's not your personal life.

Bite it right off.

8

- We all snipe at each other.

00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:15,110
The fact that they dish it out

25

- What are you afraid of?

26
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,190
Because you two work together?

27
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:47,120
- Let's just decorate the tree.

28
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,030
Uh, this Christmas party,
are we supposed to bring dates?

29
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:52,200
- Do you have a date?

30
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,160
- Well, no, I mean,
I haven't asked anyone.

31
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,150
I was just wondering.

- Merry Christmas.

35
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:15,160
- Basically,
we're getting victimized

36
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,200
by the David versus Goliath
syndrome.

- Well, that's pretty much
how it is, isn't it?

40
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:30,120
- Yes, but we've decided
to fight David with,

41
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,020
well, David.

42
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:35,100
Putting it more directly,
we want great lawyers

corporate or affluent.

44

Your firm, particularly you,

We'd probably
want you to take over,

assuming we can work
out the transition.

52
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,130
It would probably mean
your having to hire on,

Why don't you do that

00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,150
with coworkers eventually,

166
00:07:01,150 --> 00:07:03,180
and, you know, I figure,
why wait till we're close

167
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:05,090
when I can ask now?

168
00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:07,100
The answer to which could
bring us closer,

169
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,010
kind of like
speed-dial friendship.

170
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:12,020
Are you one?
- No, are you?

171
00:07:12,020 --> 00:07:14,180
- No, but I wouldn't be ashamed
if I were.

172
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:20,160
You can get back to me on that.

173
00:07:25,210 --> 00:07:27,040
- Where's Eugene?

174
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,050
- Down at court.

175
00:07:28,050 --> 00:07:29,130
He said to start without him.

176
00:07:29,130 --> 00:07:31,220
- Okay.

177
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:34,020
I think everybody's up to speed.

178
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:36,040
The big question is
should we hire

179
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,040
and build a litigation
department internally,

180
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,020
which, business-wise,
makes the most sense?

181
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:41,200
Or do we want to hire
outside firms

182
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,090
and supervise, which may make
the most practical sense,

183
00:07:44,090 --> 00:07:46,030
but it means fee-splitting.

184
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:48,190
My recommendation is
that we start that way,

185
00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:51,060
and then we expand
internally so eventually

186
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:53,040
we can do all the work in-house.

187
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,220
- My recommendation is that we
don't take this client at all.

188
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:58,070
- Excuse me?

189
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:59,120
- Ellenor, it's asbestos-defense
work.

190
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,180
- So?

191
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,100
- So do we really want
to do that?

192
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,050
I mean, this company
killed a lot of innocent people.

193
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:06,000
I'm not crazy about
representing these--

194
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,210
- You're kidding me, right?
- No, I'm not kidding.

195
00:08:07,210 --> 00:08:09,120
- We represent murderers.
Why would we--

196
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,090
- Not keep them in business
as murderers.

197
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:12,180
- Oh, please.

198
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:14,080
- I have to admit, Ellenor,
I think--

199
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,130
- Okay, wait a minute.
Just hold on.

200
00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:19,230
We are not talking
about corporate criminals here.

201
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:21,220
Asbestos is not
like cigarette companies

202
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,050
who knowingly put out
products that kill.

203
00:08:24,050 --> 00:08:25,170
Nobody knew this stuff
was dangerous

204
00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:26,200
when it was first installed.

205
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,060
- That's debatable,

206
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:30,000
but even so, we all know
the defense strategy

207
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,220
they employ--
delay, delay, delay

208
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:33,190
till one of the wheezers
either stops breathing

209
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:35,090
or they settle for
ten cents on the dollar

210
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:37,000
'cause they're
about to stop breathing.

211
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,150
- You don't know that.
- Hello.

212
00:08:38,150 --> 00:08:40,000
- Come on, Ellenor.
They still contest liability.

213
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,110
- So do all our clients,

214
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:42,160
even the ones
who shoot people five times.

215
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,050
BOBBY: All right, that's enough.

216
00:08:44,050 --> 00:08:45,110
- And the ones
who cut off people's heads.

217
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:46,110
- Hey!

218
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:47,210
- Do you have any idea

219
00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:49,030
how much money
we're talking about?

220
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:51,160
- Problem is
it would consume us.

221
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,020
This is massive
product liability.

222
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,070
It will completely dominate--

223
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:55,190
- I-I don't get this, Lindsay.

224
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:57,120
You're the one who wants
to shift into civil

225
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,120
away from criminal.

226
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,220
This is your dream client.

227
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:01,190
- Not asbestos.
- Okay, you--wait a second here.

228
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:04,010
Have we suddenly adopted
a moral criteria

229
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:05,040
for accepting new business?

230
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,020
Because if so, nobody told me.

231
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:08,180
- Don't get snide.
- I will get snide--

232
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:10,040
- This company
has killed people.

233
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,130
- The only difference
between them

234
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:13,030
and half our other clients

235
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,230
is that this one
didn't intend to kill anybody,

236
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:16,090
and they're willing
to pay us 20 times

237
00:09:16,090 --> 00:09:17,170
the amount to defend them.

238
00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:19,080
- There's no way
we can manage this.

239
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,160
It's--
- Is that the issue?

240
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,090
Whether or not
we can manage this?

241
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:24,210
Because that is different
than the morality objection.

242
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:27,050
The management issue
doesn't fall under hypocrisy.

243
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:28,150
- Hey, bite me.
- All right.

244
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:30,020
- Look, I think we need to have

245
00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:32,020
a full partnership meeting
with Eugene.

246
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:33,070
There's a lot to consider here.

247
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:35,050
- This is a no-brainer.

248
00:09:35,050 --> 00:09:36,210
What is stopping you?

249
00:09:36,210 --> 00:09:38,210
- Some of us have brains.
BOBBY: All right, come on.

250
00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:40,000
- Excuse me?

251
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,090
BOBBY: Come on.

252
00:09:41,090 --> 00:09:42,170
Let's just table this for now

253
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:44,190
and we'll talk more
about it later.

254
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:53,080
- Bitch.

255

[doorbell rings]

256
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,070
- Helen, hey.

257
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:11,160
- Scott.

258
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,070
- Can I come in a second?

259
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:14,130
- Somebody dead?

260
00:10:14,130 --> 00:10:17,130
- I just came by to see
your new place.

261
00:10:17,130 --> 00:10:18,200
- Right.

262
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,110
- Nice.

263
00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:22,060
The Gilbert Carr case--

264
00:10:22,060 --> 00:10:24,060
- Scott, I'm not sure
if you've met my roommate,

265
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:26,160
Lindsay Dole, from
Donnell, Young, Dole andamp; Frutt,

266
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Eugene Young's firm,
the lawyer repping Jerry Green.

267
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,020
- Oh, hi.

268
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,140
- Well, if that
isn't a hint to beat it.

269
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:35,190
I'll be in my room.

270

[door clicks]

271
00:10:41,150 --> 00:10:43,180
- I'm a little embarrassed
to be making this call.

272
00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:46,050
The primaries are
a ways off, but--

273
00:10:46,050 --> 00:10:48,020
- But what?

274
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,150
- It's important
that people remember

275
00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:52,190
Gilbert Carr's little incident.

276
00:10:52,190 --> 00:10:55,080
- Oh, okay,
you're here to ask me

277
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,220
to do something disgusting
for political gain.

278
00:10:57,220 --> 00:11:00,040
All right, let's hear it.

279
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,080
- You can't just establish
probable cause and sit.

280
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,070
You got to get out
some of the graphic details.

281
00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:08,030
- You want me to Kenneth Starr
Jerry Green.

282
00:11:08,030 --> 00:11:10,200
- In which case, we drop on him.

283
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,070
It's in his own interest.

284
00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:14,130
- Yes, how lucky
that he has you.

285
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,130
- Like I said,
I don't enjoy coming here

286
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:17,130
to tell you how to do--

287
00:11:17,130 --> 00:11:18,200
- But here you are.

288
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,210
Um, could you excuse me?

289
00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:21,210
I need to shower.

290
00:11:43,150 --> 00:11:45,030
- You're looking at me.

291
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:48,010
Am I unzipped?

292
00:11:48,010 --> 00:11:50,200
- Why did you ask me if I was,

293
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,010
you know, a lesbian?

294
00:11:55,150 --> 00:11:56,220
- [sighs]

295
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,220
Truth?

296
00:11:57,220 --> 00:11:59,100
- No, Lucy, lie.

297
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,150
You can tell the truth
when we're close.

298
00:12:00,150 --> 00:12:02,030
- I was just curious.

299
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:05,070
You got no guy in your life
with a rump like yours?

300
00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:07,100
Plus the cropped-cut
butchy-do hair--I mean,

301
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:08,150
it looks good, but I--

302
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:11,130
- I have butchy-do hair?

303
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:13,190
- It was just a question,
Rebecca.

304
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:16,070
Hey, some of my best friends
are lesbians.

305
00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:18,170
Today, it's almost the thing
to be.

306
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:21,180
- Well, I'm not one,
thank you very much.

307
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:23,020
- You don't have
to deny it on principle.

Donnell, Young andamp; Frutt.

00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:28,180
- And Dole.
ELLENOR: Yes, Dole.

311
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:30,050
That name's been
moving up around here.

312
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:32,010
- Excuse me?
- Never mind.

313
00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:33,200
- No, forget "never mind."
What's that supposed to mean?

314
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,230
- They're gonna fight again.

Ellenor?

00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:39,020
- My problem?
- Yes, your problem.

318
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:40,220
Besides me, do you have
a legitimate problem--

319
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:42,110
- All right, cut it out.

320
00:12:42,110 --> 00:12:44,220
God, you guys are
both acting like kids.

Cut it out.

00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,180
- What's wrong?

323
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:59,170
- In open court?
EUGENE: Yes.

324
00:12:59,170 --> 00:13:02,180
- It'll be public record.
- It's public record now.

325
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:05,150
Jerry, if we don't agree,
you could go to trial yourself,

326
00:13:05,150 --> 00:13:07,220
and you could get convicted.

327
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:10,080
Now, what they're offering,
you could have a clean slate

328
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,180
by the end of the day.

329
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:13,110
- And they'll conceal my name?

330
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:15,200
- First and middle initial's
the best we can do.

331
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,080
Um, you could testify in--

332
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,030
incognito.

333
00:13:22,030 --> 00:13:24,220
- You mean incognito

334
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:28,010
like I was arrested incognito.

335
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:29,210

there's a chance.

339

a very big, paying client

REBECCA: All right.

We've hashed this out
long enough.

412
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Why don't we vote?
ELLENOR: Hold on.

413
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,050
I think everybody's biggest
worry is that this work

414
00:16:29,050 --> 00:16:30,090
will consume us,

415
00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:31,090
so here's the tradeoff:

416
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:32,230
we take the client

417
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:35,100
and I will farm out
all of the work to other firms.

418
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:37,110
- But you're the one
they want to try the cases.

419
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:38,210
Isn't that the point?

420
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:41,000
- I can supervise
all of the discovery,

421
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,130
and then we get to fee split.

422
00:16:42,130 --> 00:16:45,100
None of you will ever even
have to look at a file.

423
00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:50,150
All in favor?

424
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:52,070
- I guess I can go with that.

425
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:54,040
- All right.

426
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,190
- Against.

427
00:16:57,190 --> 00:17:00,120
That's three to three.
I decide tie-breakers.

428
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,140
We reject the client.

429
00:17:07,070 --> 00:17:08,210
- One of the things
about being a partner

430
00:17:08,210 --> 00:17:11,060
is you get to bring in clients.

431
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:13,130
- Subject to a partnership vote.

432
00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:19,050
- Eugene,
Gilbert Carr's lawyer's here.

433
00:17:19,050 --> 00:17:21,160
He wants to talk.
I showed him into your office.

434
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,200
- I was hoping, in addition
to introducing myself,

435
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,110
we might agree to coordinate
our respective defenses.

436
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:34,190
- Let me stop you.
We've been approached by the DA.

437
00:17:34,190 --> 00:17:36,110
This seems to be an occasion

438
00:17:36,110 --> 00:17:39,010
where they'd like the Jane
to flip the john, so...

439
00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:41,080
- That would be politics.

440
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,030
- This I know,

441
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:45,150
but since the politics
run in my client's favor, it--

442
00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:48,080
- I won't presume
to tell you what to do,

443
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,060
but what happened in that room,
the police can't prove.

444
00:17:52,210 --> 00:17:55,050
- They were followed up,
600 bucks on the table,

445
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:57,100
and your client
had his pants down.

446
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:58,200
- None of which constitutes
a crime.

447
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,090
They can't get a conviction

448
00:18:00,090 --> 00:18:02,090
without the cooperation
of one of the defendants.

449
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:05,230
- This may be true,
but why risk it?

450
00:18:05,230 --> 00:18:08,070
We're being offered immunity.

451
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:11,120
- Immunity from
criminal prosecution.

452
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:14,120
The court of public opinion
might be less forgiving.

453
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,020
- Meaning?

454
00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:17,170
- Gilbert Carr is running
for district attorney.

455
00:18:17,170 --> 00:18:20,040
A prosecution against him comes
with a big microscope.

456
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Anybody who falls under it--

457
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,140
- Is that a threat?

458
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:23,180
- All I'm saying is
there's no need

459
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:25,130
to turn this into a spectacle.

460
00:18:25,130 --> 00:18:28,070
I believe, in time, I can make
the whole matter dissipate,

461
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:30,060

takes the stand this afternoon

462

at the probable cause hearing,

463

I'm sure you can appreciate
that I'd have no choice

on the stand that,

467
00:18:39,010 --> 00:18:40,170
instead of your
basic transvestite,

468
00:18:40,170 --> 00:18:42,210
he's actually
a respected stockbroker?

469
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:44,080
That won't discredit him.

470
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,010
If anything,
it makes him more believable.

471

you something about Jerry Green.

He's a decent guy

648

forever.

649

you're under some new influence.

651

654

to cross-examine widows

655
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,190
every day saying, "Hey, maybe
your husband had the flu"?

656
00:26:20,190 --> 00:26:22,110
- You have never even tried one
of these cases--

657
00:26:22,110 --> 00:26:24,060
- Every day, your job
will be to wear them down!

658

what you're talking about!

659

You'll be the victim eventually!

660
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,090

agreement does it say

661
00:26:29,090 --> 00:26:31,020

Lindsay Dole's moral standards

to do with me or Bobby!

664

will be the day

665

666

667
00:26:38,090 --> 00:26:39,170

honest.

668

670

671

- Sir, calling your attention

672
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,190
to the evening
of January 1, 1999,

673
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:57,150
did you encounter anybody
sitting in this courtroom?

674
00:26:57,150 --> 00:26:59,070
- The defendant.

675
00:26:59,070 --> 00:27:01,140
- The record will reflect
the witness has indicated

676
00:27:01,140 --> 00:27:02,170
Mr. Gilbert Carr.

677
00:27:02,170 --> 00:27:04,230
Could you describe
that encounter?

678
00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:07,120
JERRY: I was walking
on Columbus Avenue

679
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,100
about 10:30,

680
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:12,120
and he pulled up in his car
and invited me to get in.

681
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,210
- You were dressed as a woman.

682
00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:16,120
- Yes.

683
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,170
HELEN: And when he invited you
in his car, you got in.

684
00:27:18,170 --> 00:27:21,050
- Not at first,

685
00:27:21,050 --> 00:27:22,230
but eventually I got in,

686
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:24,170
and we drove to an apartment

687
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:26,060
and went inside.

688
00:27:26,060 --> 00:27:28,170
- And when you got inside,
what happened then?

689
00:27:31,010 --> 00:27:35,210
- He removed his trousers
and his underwear.

690
00:27:35,210 --> 00:27:37,070
He said he just
wanted to look at me

691
00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:40,010
for a minute, which he did.

692
00:27:40,010 --> 00:27:41,180
Then...

693
00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:47,000
He asked me
to serve my country.

694
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,130
- Serve your country?

695
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:54,110
- He wanted me
to sing the national anthem

696
00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:57,070
while he sexually gratified
himself.

697
00:27:57,070 --> 00:27:59,080
HELEN: Did he give you money
to do this?

698
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,020
JERRY: He put $600 on the table.

699
00:28:02,020 --> 00:28:03,170
- Did you do what he asked?

700
00:28:05,070 --> 00:28:06,170
- Yes.

701
00:28:06,170 --> 00:28:08,120
HELEN: And while you sang,
did he, in fact,

702
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,110
sexually gratify himself?

703
00:28:11,230 --> 00:28:13,080
- Yes.

704
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,150
- Sir, could you step out
and show us

705
00:28:15,150 --> 00:28:17,110
how you were
standing while you sang?

706
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:18,110
CAVERN: Objection.

707
00:28:18,110 --> 00:28:19,230
- I apologize, Your Honor,

708
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:22,100
but I'm sure Mr. Cavern
will try to convince us

709
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,080
that his client simply
hired Mr. Green

710
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,200
to do a musical number.

711
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:28,080
- Step out, Mr. Green.

712
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:36,070
- If I'm Gilbert Carr,
where were you standing?

713
00:28:39,070 --> 00:28:40,190
- Right about here.

714
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:41,200
- And could you sing for us

715
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,190
the way you sang for Mr. Carr?

716
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:47,220
I'm sorry, Mr. Green,
but we need to get an idea

717
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:49,140

about here.

Just a few bars, Your Honor.

That was more than painting
any damn picture.

749
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,050

the national anthem

750

in front of a room
full of people--

I stayed away

everything,

it was paid for

This one came in asking for me,

and it felt good.

886
00:36:28,090 --> 00:36:31,010
And now that you and she--
and I am happy for that,

887
00:36:31,010 --> 00:36:32,190
for both of you,

888

the chosen child, it just--

889
00:36:36,090 --> 00:36:38,050
it doesn't help it any.

gonna dignify the suggestion

to her as a lawyer.

00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:45,060
- If you cared about
what the blue chips thought,

894
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:47,150
you wouldn't wear 102 earrings.

895
00:36:47,150 --> 00:36:50,160
Second, even if
there were some legitimacy

896
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,050
to all these feelings,

897
00:36:52,050 --> 00:36:54,040
you're wrong to punish Lindsay

898
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,020
because you know she's not
imposing anything on you.

for the arrest of Mr. Carr.

The case is therefore
dismissed with prejudice.
