Morning, Dorothy.

Need some help?

We're all right.

Are you doing
a little fall cleaning?

There's just so much clutter
in here.

Well, if you need anything,
give a holler.

Thanks, Matthew.

Miss Dorothy?

Mm-hmm?

I found this
behind the shelves.

Hmm.

It's some legal document.

This looks
like the original deed

to this building when it
was the telegraph office.

"Aunt Tilly's Soda Cocktail --

best drink you ever tasted,
or double your money back."

Just came in from Frisco.

They actually guarantee it?

No, I guarantee it.

Only two bits a bottle.

Two bits?

Well, shipping's expensive.

Besides, if you don't like it,
you get double your money back.

- What have you got to lose?
- I'll take a case.

- A case?
- And one of your Havana Golds.

Give me
one of your Havana Golds.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I just sold the last one.

But Cubans are my brand.

Yes, I know.

You're the one
who recommended them to me.

Gracias.

You think you're funny,
don't you?

Sí.

- Stay out of my way!
- Aahh! Aahh!

Ohh!

Watch where you're going.

Horace, are you all right?

My nose --
I think he broke my nose!

Ow.
Ow, ow, ohh, ow!

I'm sorry, Horace.

Broken noses
can be quite painful.

It should feel better
in a few days,

as long as you don't touch it.

Thanks, Dr. Mike.

Oh, uh, you -- you think
I could pay you next month?

I just sent money
to Myra and Samantha.

Of course.

You know, Horace, this is
really Hank's responsibility.

You're right.
He should be more careful.

No, no. I mean

that Horace has got
himself what they call a tort.

- What?
- A tort.

It means you can get
Hank to pay Dr. Mike's fees

- because it was his fault.
- Oh, sure.

Just try to get Hank to do that.

If he doesn't,
you can take him to court.

Matthew, maybe you
can shed some light on this.

Oh, my goodness!
Horace, are you all right?

I'm feeling better
every minute.

- You seen Hank?
- No.

What is this?

Well, it -- it seems to be
the original deed

that belonged
to the telegraph company.

I never saw that.

Well, we just found it.

It had slipped
behind one of the bookcases,

but I'm afraid it's...
it's just a little odd.

Why is that?

Well, it says

that the property extends
40 feet back from the street.

Your building isn't that large,
is it?

No. That's right.

According to this, my land
extends into Grace's café.

And this is no time to bother
Grace with something like this.

You should figure out
who owns what.

Do you think there might be
something like this situation

in your law books?

Maybe.

I got some of the books
in Dr. Mike's clinic.

Do you you really think
this is a good idea, Matthew?

These kind of disputes
can become very complicated.

Can't see what harm could it do

to get the facts
straightened out?

Oh, that's right.

I'd sure like
to know about them torts!

Horace.

You want me to pay you

for being stupid enough
to walk into my fist?

I owe Dr. Mike $1.50
for fixing my nose.

Well, maybe your wife
can send you some money.

Thanks, Hank.

You'll be hearing
from my lawyer.

So, this tort, Matthew, it
says I can take Hank to court?

'Cause he said he
ain't gonna pay you, Dr. Mike.

Perhaps we can
just let this go, Horace.

Consider it a free visit.

Oh, no, Dr. Mike,
you got to get paid.

Somebody's got to teach Hank
a lesson.

So, what do we gotta do?

You're hiring Matthew
as your lawyer.

Wait a minute.
I ain't a lawyer.

Not yet.

It's not a bad idea.

Yeah, you've been a lawman,
Matthew.

You've been studying
the statutes.

Lots of folks hang up shingles
on their doors

with less experience
than you got.

I know, but I don't have
enough experience

to ask people to trust me.

Couldn't you just give me
some advice, Matthew?

All right.

Well, I'd say the first thing
you gotta do

is wire the circuit-court judge
to hear the case.

Sounds good.
I'll do it right now.

Hank ain't gonna like this.

Horace is angry, I suppose,
and he has every right to be,

but from what I've seen lately,
Hank's angry, too.

Hank was born mad.

Perhaps,
but business hasn't been

quite what he and Jake
have been counting on,

and with the Indian bombing

and the temperance ladies
smashing up the bar,

they've had
some unexpected expenses.

That's why Jake's in Denver
and St. Louis --

looking
for potential investors.

You're not making excuses
for Hank, are you?

No, of course not,

but to be honest,
with all the tragedy lately,

there have been times
when even I've wished

that I could find somebody
to blame it on --

easier than the truth.

What is the truth?

That life can be
very, very difficult,

and quite often...

it's no one's fault.

Loren, I'm afraid I have to
return these bottles to you.

What do you mean "return"?

Your money-back guarantee.

Pardon me --
double money-back guarantee.

I'm afraid my guests
didn't find it

the best drink
they've ever tasted.

Well, they certainly drank 'em.

They must have liked them
all right.

They did like them,
but they all agreed

it wasn't the "best" drink
they've ever tasted.

That's highway robbery!

You can't drink a whole case

and come in here
and ask for your money back!

And that is stated
where in your advertising?

It's common sense!

Common sense dictates
that an honest businessman,

such as you,
live up to his promises

if he expects to keep
his customers happy!

Thank you, Loren.
I knew you'd do the right thing.

I'll show him!

What are you gonna do?

I'll think of something.

Grace?

I-I just found this
behind some shelves.

I-It says that
the telegraph-office property

extends out from the building
and...

into your café.

I-I-It says the land goes
40 feet back from the street,

and, well,
the building's 27 feet,

and that leaves 13...feet.

I-I-I wanted to show this to you
just to find out

if -- if you knew anything
about it.

Are you saying I'm stealing
your land and not telling you?

Oh, Grace, of course not!
I didn't mean that!

I-I just -- I just
want to get it straightened out.

You want to get
it straightened out.

Tell her.
Tell her our deed comes first.

Grace, Dorothy's our friend.
You know you ain't mad at her.

Tell her.

Well...

when I bought the land
from Old Man Granger,

it included the whole corral,

and there was a corral
where the café is now.

So...

you can put this piece of paper
back where you found it.

Grace, I'm -- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to upset you.

I just thought we ought to get
it all worked out.

And now it's all worked out.

I don't suppose you'd mind if
I just had a look at your deed?

- No, of course not.
- Are you saying he's lying?

- Not Grace.
- No, Grace! Not at all.

That's not
what Dorothy's saying.

Of course you can look at it.

I've just gotta find it.

Yes, you do.

Matthew!

Matthew.

I got a wire
from the circuit judge.

He says he's too busy
for petty cases

and that the mayor
ought to decide.

Jake's out of town
for a couple of weeks.

If we don't got a mayor,

the council can appoint
a-a people's-court judge.

We gotta get the council
together right away.

I got a right to a speedy trial.

I read
about that in The Gazette.

This is stupid!

Who are you
gonna appoint judge?

Does it have to be one of us?

- Well, it doesn't seem to.
- You remember

when the judge appointed
Kid Cole to be his proxy?

- How about Daniel?
- Daniel? That's right.

Pick the one person in town
who's got it in for me.

What about Loren?
You trust him, don't you?

Oh, no you don't.
Leave me out of it.

- How about you?
- No, just leave me out of it.

- Him and Horace are friends!
- We're all friends, Hank.

Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

We're not going to get anywhere
yelling at each other.

Seems like you're the only one
people listen to, Dr. Mike.

That's right.
Let her do it.

- It's all right by me.
- Well, no. Wait a minute --

She ain't neutral.
She's getting paid!

- That's right. I --
- No, it don't matter.

You're gonna get paid by one
of us one way or the other --

- buck-fifty.
- As I said before, Horace,

this was
a very simple procedure.

Why don't we just let it go?

No, Dr. Mike.
We gotta do this legal.

So, what do you say, Hank?
You know Dr. Mike will be fair.

Fine.

It's settled. Dr. Mike will
judge and award any damages.

Damages.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Forgive me.

Aaahhh!

Ohhh! Ohh!

Ohh! Aah!

Oh, I slipped! Oh!

Get me out of here! Oh, I think
I hurt my -- Oh, my leg!

Oh! Oh, my --
Oh!

How about this, Loren?

Aah!

I just heard.
What happened?

Apparently,
he slipped and fell.

It was too wet!

What do you mean "too wet"?
It's a spa!

My feet went right out
from under me! Oh! Ohh!

That hurts, too?

Everything hurts.

He claims to be badly bruised.

Bruised?!
I'm crippled!

Nothing appears to be broken,
Loren.

Then it's broken inside.

Inside?

And it's your fault.

A tort is something
that you handle in a civil case,

not a criminal case.

Can anything be a tort?

Just about --
battery, negligence, libel.

Can what Hank did to Horace
be interpreted as battery?

Well, it's gotta
be intentional to be battery.

More probably,
it was negligent --

Hank was moving fast,
not watching where he was going.

Hank says that Horace
walked right in to his fist

and that Horace should have been
looking where he was going.

Negligence
doesn't have to be on purpose.

It's all so petty,

compared to the legal problems
that Sully's facing.

I'll tell you what.

I'll mark some of these cases
here for you.

You can read it tonight --
help you make up your mind.

I have to admit,
I was quite surprised

when I read the case law
on this subject.

There seems to be no question
that Hank was negligent,

according to section 10 of
the Colorado revised statutes,

and so that means
he is responsible

for Horace's medical expenses.

And if there's
no further business --

I have business.

What happened to you, Loren?

I slipped and fell
on the negligent wet deck

over at the Chateau,
that's what happened to me.

I got expenses, too!

This is absurd!

Madame, would you make room
for a cripple?

I already paid for his fees
with Andrew.

Oh, there, you see?
He admits he's at fault.

I certainly do not!

I got damages, too --
lots of them.

How am I supposed
to be able to work like this?

I can't even reach
the top shelves.

I'm gonna
have to hire a stockboy.

How am I gonna pay him?!

I tell you, all the joy
has gone out of my life.

It even hurts when
I have to open the cash box.

He's faking.

Well, we'll let Dr. Mike
decide that.

She's the judge...ain't ya?

You examined Loren.

He's faking, isn't he?

Well, it's difficult to say.

He says his back
is in great pain...

...but I have to rely upon
his description of the symptoms.

And according to him, he's just
this side of the pearly gates.

All I have to do is to prove
that he's faking.

That shouldn't be too difficult.

Loren!

Someone
just broke into your store!

Oh. Well,
you'd better call the sheriff.

I mean, you know, there's not
a lot I can do in my condition.

Dorothy!

See what you done?

Customers are checking out
of my hotel.

You are ruining my business.

Why?
Why are they doing that?

Because of your lies!
They're afraid of me.

All I did was report
the truth --

that you hit Horace and that you
had to pay damages for it.

I didn't hit him.
His face connected with my fist.

Even Michaela didn't say
I hit him.

- Well, not exactly, but I --
- It's a lie,

and I'm gonna sue you for it.

- Hank!
- You can't do that!

Yes, I can. I got the idea
from your own paper.

- What?!
- Remember that story

you wrote
about that mine owner --

sued the Denver paper
for slandering him, won $2,000?

Well, that's what you've
been -- false and malicious.

And you're gonna have to pay up.

Ain't she, Michaela?

Well, I have no idea, but --

You'd better get an idea,
'cause you gotta judge it.

I got the same rights
as everybody else.

Can he do that, Michaela?

I don't know.

Anybody can sue anybody.

- But he can't win, can he?
- I don't know

until I have a chance to look
at all the evidence --

You're gonna actually judge
this?!

Well, I have to.

- Well, I have rights, too!
- Yes, of course you do.

You'd better get ready
to judge my deed, as well.

Dorothy --

I'll go see if I can talk
some sense into Hank.

Thanks, Matthew.

So, now you
wanna be my lawyer, huh?

What?

Now you see some money
coming in,

and you want a piece of it.

I'm gonna give you
some free advice.

You ain't got a case.

Tell that to the mine owner
in Denver.

He wasn't found liable.
You were.

By Michaela --
She ain't a real judge.

Besides, even if Dorothy's story
is false, it's still malicious.

Not legally.

Listen, I ain't got an ax
to grind, all right?

I'm telling you the truth.

If you go forward
with this case, you will lose.

"...found Hank Lawson negligent
and instructed him to pay --"

Hey, Hank.
See The Gazette?

You look kind of mad, Hank.

What are you gonna do, hit me?

Ohh!

Now, that was worth
a buck-fifty.

Horace,
you shouldn't have provoked him.

He's gonna pay for this.

Actually, he already did
when Matthew was helping you in.

I mean he's really gonna pay
for this.

Horace,
this has gone far enough.

You're a better man than he is.
You can rise above it.

Are you done with me?

Yes, but be careful,
and try not to hit it again.

I mean --

Oh!

- Careful!
- Sorry, Horace.

Michaela,
you need to examine Loren.

He's hurt again?

He wasn't hurt
in the first place.

That's why you need to examine
him -- to prove that he's lying.

Preston,
if I'm to judge this case,

I can't examine him personally.

Why ever not? I'd think that's
exactly what you'd want to do.

I need to remain neutral
and go with Andrew's testimony.

Or is it that you just
don't want to take sides?

How can you say that

when that's exactly
what I'm being forced to do...

as a judge?

Of course.

I just hope you can remain
truly neutral, Michaela.

Brian!

Hey, Mr. Lodge.

How would you like to earn
a little extra spending money?

- Doing what?
- Well, I'll tell you.

He wanted me to go
into the store and yell "fire."

I can't believe it.

Me neither.

He offered me 50 cents to do it.

Well, you did the right thing
turning him down, Brian.

Especially since Mr. Bray gave
me a quarter when I told him.

I gave it back.

Is Mr. Bray
pretending to be hurt?

I don't know.

I guess there's something
I ought to tell you.

What's that?

I don't like snitching
on Mr. Bray.

Brian, testifying
if you know something important

isn't snitching.

Did Mr. Bray tell you something?

Well...yeah.

I was hoping we
could settle this informally.

No problem, if he agrees
to withdraw his suit.

No problem, if he can give
me back the use of my body.

And I'll tell you
another thing --

I'm always gonna be afraid
of water the rest of my life.

Well, think how
that's gonna affect my business.

- I'm trying to.
- Well, my customers

ain't gonna like it
if I can't take a bath.

This has gone far enough --

Preston, you attempting to bribe
Brian to do your dirty work.

Shocking!
The poor child.

And you're no better, Loren.
Brian told me

that you said that were
going to get back at Preston

for taking advantage
of your money-back guarantee.

Why,
you little Benedict Arnold!

Loren, would you drop your suit

if Preston agrees to give you
back the money you gave him

- for returning the bottles?
- I would not.

I have no intention
of paying back

money that was
legitimately due me.

There's someone
I'd like both of you to meet.

Mr. Copley!

"Benjamin Copley, Esquire,
Attorney --"

- Attorney?!
- At your service.

Mr. Copley has a very
successful practice in Denver

and has agreed
to represent me in this case.

Preston, do you really
think this is necessary?

It's gonna cost you a fortune!

Actually, the judge
normally rules my fee

to be paid by the plaintiff
if he loses.

So, if Mr. Bray loses,

he has to pay
for Mr. Lodge's lawyer?

Apparently, that's up to me.

But this doesn't make
any sense!

Yes, it does.
It says me and Robert E.

- own the land, fair and square.
- But if --

Mr. Granger
had it written out legal

when he sold the land
to Robert E.

I'm sorry, Dorothy,
it says the whole corral.

See, Dr. Mike?

It's the deed
Mr. Granger sold to Robert E.

It says he owns the land.

But my deed says I own
the land,

and it's dated 10 years
earlier than Robert E.'s.

It is?

We both can't own
the same land.

It just doesn't make sense.

Well, why don't you compromise?

Split the land in question
50/50.

6 or 7 feet
isn't gonna do me any good.

I never heard anything
so greedy in all my life.

Grace, I only meant that if I'm
going to go to the expense

of expanding The Gazette,
I need more space than that.

And what am I supposed to do,
chop a table in half?

No...

Dr. Mike,
you're gonna have to decide.

You're gonna regret this!

I didn't wanna use
the handcuffs,

- but he put up a struggle.
- Oh, you ain't seen a struggle.

What happened?

Well, Horace made a complaint
against Hank --

assault and battery.

Now, those are criminal charges.

Better think long and hard
before you rule

- on this one, Michaela.
- I can't do it.

As you said,
these are criminal charges.

You have to wire
the circuit judge.

I already did that.
He'll be here in two months.

I ain't sitting in jail
for two months!

There ought to be a law
that says I can get a trial

before I rot!

Actually, there is.

There is?

Yeah.

It's called a writ
of habeas corpus.

It says a man's got a right
to a speedy trial.

All right, I'll do it.

Loren.

I never knew you were so handy
with a ribbon.

I'd like to purchase this vase.

That'll be $5.

Fine.

And I'd like
to purchase some ribbon, too.

That's an extra buck.

Fine.

And I'd like you to tie it,
or is that another dollar?

These sure do seem to say
they both own the same land.

- Does that happen often?
- Well, sure,

sometimes people think
they own more than they do,

and they deed it off,
boundaries and landmarks change.

Well, then,
how do they resolve it?

A survey of the land can help.

I'd be happy to do one.

You would?

Oh, that would be very helpful,
Daniel.

Sure thing.
Where are you headed?

Preston's hotel,

to see if I can find anyone
that saw Loren slip.

Michaela!

This is for you.

I thought...

the clinic could use
a little cheering up.

Dr. Mike, here,
I brought this for ya.

It's, uh, well, you've been
working so hard lately,

I-I thought maybe you
hadn't been eating right.

And fruit and lemon drops are
your idea of a balanced meal?

What you need is a relaxing,
nutritious meal.

I insist you come to the Chateau
for dinner,

my treat, for your whole family.

Well, that's very generous
of you both of you.

Unless, of course, these gifts
are meant to influence

my ruling on your case.

Because that would be
against the law.

- Of course not.
- No!

No, that's not
what I meant by at all.

It was the middle of the day,
the hotel was completely booked,

and yet no one saw Loren slip.

At least that's what they say.

I suppose most people
don't want to get involved.

Exactly, and I can understand
Preston's employees

not wanting
to testify against him,

but there were other people
here.

Well, some may not
want to testify

because they don't like the idea
of people suing each other.

Well, you're willing to
testify, aren't you,

as to Loren's injuries?

Well, quite frankly, Michaela,
I'm not sure that I can.

- Because of Preston?
- No.

Because I'm not exactly sure
what Loren's injuries are.

There's nothing on the surface,

but there could be damage
that I can't see.

And what if I'm wrong?

That could leave me open
to being sued for malpractice,

as you were last year.

So you're choosing
not to testify?

Regrettably.

I'm sorry.

The only thing is, Andrew,

if everyone made your choice,

how would anything
ever get settled?

Look, I'm --

I'm sorry about what I said
to you at the Golden Nugget.

Hank, I don't care
what you think about me.

What you did to Horace
was wrong,

and as far as I'm concerned, you
ought to be prosecuted for it.

I got a right to a defense,
don't I?

Sure.
But not from me.

Matthew...

Listen...

Then gimme
some of them law books.

You at least got to make
it a fair fight.

All right, Hank,
I'll bring some over.

- Mr. Copley.
- Mr. Cooper!

I'm told you're interested
in becoming an attorney.

Oh, thinking about it.

It seems like a good way
to help folks.

That it is,

and folks are always in need
of our kind of help.

It's what you might call
a growth industry.

Right.

Listen, about this case
between Loren and Preston...

Are you representing
Mr. Bray?

No. No, he doesn't even know
I'm talking to you about this.

Oh, yes, of course, of course.

Well, isn't there some way
they could...compromise?

An out-of-court settlement?

Let me give you a friendly word
of advice, Mr. Cooper.

You just told me
your case is weak...

- It ain't my case.
- ...which eliminates

any need on my part
to settle with you.

Bad tactic, I'm afraid.

Like I said,
I ain't representing Loren.

Of course not.

All right.

Oh, Grace,
could I have some more co--

Did you see that?

Well, of course I did.

The fall didn't hurt
my eyesight.

Bunch of foolishness.

What's that?

You don't have to agree
with Dorothy,

but don't let this ruin
your friendship.

It ain't me who's ruining it.

Grace...

- Whose side are you on?
- What?

You've been defending her
all week.

No, I ain't.

I just don't see why you're
taking this so personal.

But it is personal.

She made it personal.

Grace...

Grace, you know
this ain't about Dorothy.

You're always right...
aren't you?

- Dr. Mike!
- Grace.

You gotta choose.

I can't go on like this --
not knowing!

I don't have all the information
I need yet, Grace.

What more do you need?

She's trying to cheat us
out of our land!

Dr. Mike, she ain't herself.

Quit making excuses!
Quit --

Quit what?
Quit what?!

Trying to make everything
all right!

It ain't all right!

It will never be all right.

You gotta choose, Dr. Mike,
between Dorothy and me,

and that's all there is to it.

Grace,
I understand why you're angry.

And you have every right to be
angry.

So you're saying she's wrong.

I'm saying that you've suffered
a terrible loss.

- Anthony's death was --
- You gotta choose, Dr. Mike,

between Dorothy and me.

- Grace --
- Dr. Quinn!

I'm afraid I must demand
you rule on my case, as well.

As you know, the sixth amendment

to the United States
Constitution

guarantees my client --

Mr. Copley, I was hoping
to hire you to sue Hank.

Hank's already paid for
your medical expenses, Horace.

Matthew told me
about pain and suffering.

Michaela, I need to speak
to you in private.

Yes, of course,
I'll just be a minute.

I'm afraid
the survey doesn't help.

Both deeds
do cover the same land.

Well, now, what am I gonna do?

Well, you're gonna have to make
a decision.

Well, more than one,
I'm afraid.

Well, I've got another one
to add to the pile.

It seems Hank's been
reading Matthew's law books,

and now he's suing me.

What? What for?

False arrest.

Your minute's up, Dr. Mike.

You said you'd judge this,
Michaela.

So go on.

Tomorrow.

I'll rule on all these cases
at the church tomorrow.

So, these cases support
Dorothy's argument

that the older deeds prevail.

But there are all these other
cases about easements,

abandonment, squatter's rights.

Well, how do those apply?

All right, it's like this --

if Dorothy bought her property

thinking that the café
belonged to Grace and Robert E.

and knowing how the land was
used, then it belongs to them.

Even though she has a deed
that says otherwise?

Especially since they have
a deed that says so.

So what you're saying
is that there's a legal case

for both of their positions.

I'm afraid so.

Well, how are judges
supposed to make decisions

in cases like these?

Well, they look at the laws,

and then they read the decisions
of other judges,

just like you're doing,

and choose
what seems right to them.

Well, it's especially difficult

when you know
the people involved,

when they're your friends.

You know,
I feel like I started all this,

telling Horace
he ought to get Hank to pay.

You were right to do that,
Matthew. It was Hank's fault.

This stuff going on in town
now is not so black and white.

Lawyers like Mr. Copley

don't seem to care
what's right or wrong.

That's true.

And what's legal
isn't necessarily what's just.

It makes me wonder whether
I even want to be a lawyer.

But you're exactly the kind of
person we need to be a lawyer.

Why?

Because you care
about the truth.

It just seems like
the law can be used

to hurt people as much
as it can to help people.

Somebody's gonna get hurt
here -- Grace or Dorothy.

Still, it's better to decide
in a court instead of a fight.

Some things are necessary,
even if they're not pleasant.

That's too hot!

I'm sorry.

Sorry isn't good enough.

I have a mind
to sue you for negligence!

Mr. Copley, do you really
think that's necessary?

I'll tell you what's necessary.

If you don't issue a decision
in my case today,

I'll sue you for negligence.

You can't threaten her
like that.

This is what it means to be
an attorney, Mr. Cooper.

No, it's what it means for you,
not for me.

Loren, would you mind
coming to the clinic?

What for?

I'd like
to examine your injuries.

I thought
you were going to be neutral.

That doesn't mean
I shouldn't do everything I can

to get the information I need
to make a fair decision.

I told you I was hurt.

Loren, are you certain you want
to go through with this lawsuit?

Of course I do!
I got my rights.

Because I'm going to issue
my ruling this afternoon.

You just do that.

Well, if everyone is present,
let's get this started.

Hank brought a suit against
Daniel for false imprisonment.

Section 50 of the revised
statutes of Colorado

defines "false imprisonment"
as "the unlawful violation

of the personal liberty
of another."

Well, since Daniel
was acting as sheriff

when he arrested you
and had good cause to do so,

your suit is denied.

Oh, why don't
you just shoot me?

However, I am going to rule
that you be released from jail

and dismiss Horace's
civil charges against you

for pain and suffering.

You can't do that!

I suffered bad!

Do you know what it's like to be
called "raccoon face"?!

Allow me to finish.

Hank, if you hit Horace again,
you'll sit in jail

until the circuit judge
has time to get here.

And if I may suggest,
I think it would be best

if both of you
stayed out of each other's way.

Now, Loren...

your suit against Preston

is denied

...because I was unable
to find any bodily damage.

That's an outrage!
I'll never walk right again!

However,
due to mitigating factors,

you do not have to pay
Preston's attorney's fees.

Mitigating factors?

I believe that Preston
has recently received some money

from Loren
that should help pay your fee.

I'm not paying him anything.

He didn't win.

- Pay me, or I'll sue you!
- Good luck.

Now, regarding these deeds...

Section nine says, "the
possession of the plaintiff --"

That would be Dorothy --

"...shall be considered
as extending

to the boundaries embraced
by the claim of such plaintiff."

However, section 11 says,

"a neglect to occupy such claim
for the period of six months

shall be considered
an abandonment as to preclude

the claimant from maintaining
the aforesaid actions."

Which means that since you
haven't been using the land

and Grace and Robert E. have,

that the land in question
belongs to them.

That's all.
We're adjourned.

Dorothy?

Dorothy, please!

I'm sorry it didn't turn out
the way that you wanted it to,

but I did
what I thought was fair.

Is that it?
Is that all you've got to say?

You asked me to make
a decision, so I did.

Hank and Horace
each got something.

Loren and Preston, too --
everybody except me.

But you refused to compromise,
Dorothy.

You forced me to make
a decision.

But I didn't think
it was gonna go this far.

I thought I was gonna w--

I guess I...

I guess I got carried away.

Everybody did.

You know, ladies,

I think I really learned
something out of all of this.

Well, that's wonderful, Loren.
What's that?

No more money-back guarantees.

You did good, Dr. Mike.

Well, thank you, Matthew.

You know, all this time, I was
afraid to make these decisions.

And now?

It was the right thing to do.

And I hope I never
have to do it again.
