Hey, Matt, have you seen my jumping
beans?

Harry, if you put your toys away when
you're through playing with them, you'd

know where they are.

Did we miss our bran muffin this
morning, Matt?

No, sir, he's just grouchy because he
had to take a psychology class at

school.

Psychology, the science of the human
mind. What could be more fascinating

than that?

Well, I don't know, watching every
minute of the Jerry Lewis telethon.

Oh, no, contest!

When he sticks those pencils up his
nose, I lose it every time.

Come here, salad.

Buzz, are you feeling all right?

I've never seen you eat anything green.

Except maybe that box of donuts last St.
Patrick's Day.

You must know, I'm on a diet.

You are?

That's great!

I mean...

If that's something you think you need
or want to do.

I don't have any choice.

This came in the mail today.

Oh, what a beautiful girl. Who is she?

It's me.

Oh, of course.

Oh, my goodness. You look so, so... Fan.

Well, that too.

It was taken 17 years ago. My friend
Wanda found it in the bottom of a drawer

and sent it to me. Oh, how sweet.

Isn't it?

enough to fly back there and kick her
butt.

Ladies, may I?

Well, thank you, Dan.

You seem in an awfully good mood today.

That rash clear up?

I just got a phone message from Theodore
Wood of Taylor Wood and Johnson.

He's coming down here to see me. I think
he's going to offer me a job.

Are you sure, Dad?

That is the most prestigious law firm in
New York.

Why else would he be looking for me?

Because you spent two weeks with his
wife while he was out of town.

No.

My name is Walker.

Yow!

Hot looking babe.

This is going to come in real handy for
my hiding in the Supreme's dressing room

fantasy.

Let me have it then. No, no, why?

Come on, give it.

Sir, you've got to understand that when
you charge hundreds of dollars and

advertise yourself as a Michael Jackson
lookalike, certain expectations will be

raised.

You'll be a fraud, $100 fine, and beat
it.

That's lunch.

So, Mike.

I guess you made one too many trips to
the plastic surgeon.

You know, sir, I think you've changed my
mind about this psychology stuff.

All I did was offer an encouraging word
at the proper moment. Oh, no, no, it's

not what you said. It's the way you sign
your name.

Say what? You see how your H lashes out
at the other letters?

Yeah. Yeah, well, you see, that's
typical of a person who is very

controlling, who gets mixed up in
everybody's private life without

realizing it.

That's got to do with me.

Damn. I heard the news.

I always knew we'd make the big time.
Oh, you... Yeah,

it's a special occasion.

You might want to break out a moist
towelette. Maybe later. If we're moving

uptown, I got to pack.

What am I thinking? I am packed.

I'm looking for Dan Fielding.

Mr. Wood, I'm Dan Fielding.

How nice of you to stop by. Please.

Sorry I'm late. The traffic was bumper
to bumper.

Oh, isn't that always the way? You know,
the other night, it took me 45 minutes

to hail a cab in the pouring rain. Any
chance there's an opening in your firm?

As a matter of fact, there is. And we're
prepared to offer you the job.

You are?

That means I'd be a lawyer in your firm.

Stationary with the letterhead.

My name on if somebody called the office
and asked for me, I'd be

there. Yes.

Are you available?

Well, you know, I maybe should take a
couple of weeks to weigh my other

options. Sorry, I'll need to know today.

I'll take it.

We want you to feel at home right from
the start. So here's a small advance to

redecorate your office suite.

Suite?

I hope you don't mind the cash.

It's impossible to get a check from our
bookkeeper in under a week.

Looks like there's enough here to buy a
real leather couch.

Maybe a fold-out.

I sometimes work all night long.

I better take this. Excuse me, Dad.

Because my name isn't Bug?

Because you're trying to go it alone.

What you need is a diet buddy.

It just so happens that I've been
thinking about going on a diet myself.

Yeah, you have put on a couple of
pounds.

Is that obvious?

Where?

It's my behind. It's spreading, isn't
it?

I'll see what I can do.

Something the matter?

Oh, it's nothing to do with you. Our
senior partner's son got involved in

some stupid fraternity prank and was
arrested for shoplifting.

Where can I find Judge Harold Stone?

Judge Stone? Wait, let me see that.

This is my court.

This is my case.

Oh.

Well, then you should know that Bobby's
never been in any trouble before.

Well, still, though, I couldn't show any
favoritism in my prosecution.

Oh, of course not. He'll plead guilty
and make full restitution.

But if there's any way you could move
his case up... I'll look into it.

I'd appreciate that, Dan.

His father's awfully worried about the
time that Bobby spends in the holding

cell. You know, terrible things can
happen there to normal people.

Ain't it the truth.

Boy, last week a rabbi was arrested by
mistake. By the time we found out, he

was... Never mind. Boring story.

All right, Christine.

You can be my diet buddy.

Great!

Okay, now what we have to do first is we
have to start writing down everything we

eat every day. All right. For breakfast
I had bran flakes and half a grapefruit.

I skipped breakfast.

See, I have no discipline.

You're already 300 calories ahead of me.

At 10.30, I ate a large pizza.

Say, Mac? Yeah?

Did you by any chance get an opportunity
to move up the case against that Johnson

kid for me? I did, but I didn't get his
priors yet. No priors. First offense.

Okay, then he's the next one up.

Hey, Dan, did you know that there's a
woman with... 14 different

personalities? No.

But I like it.

Group sex, and you only have to buy one
dinner.

Okay, kids, let's play ball.

Your Honor,

before we start, there's an announcement
I'd like to make.

I have decided to take Mr. Wood's job
offer. I'll be turning in my resignation

today.

Oh, Ray.

Congratulations, Dan.

Dan, I don't know what to say.

Well, I'm going to miss all of you.

You're like family.

We feel the same way, Dan.

They're going to park my car for me
every day.

Well, then I guess we'll just have to
try to choke back the tears as we

struggle through the evening. Call the
first case, Matt.

Yes, sir.

People versus Johnson.

Yes, he was caught using the salad fork
on the entree.

Those are petty theft. The defendant is
charged with stealing a box of condoms

from a convenience store.

Condoms? Yes, sir. Male barrier
contraceptives.

I don't know what they are.

Where are the crass remarks?

The rude innuendo.

That would be uncalled for, sir.

Your Honor, my client pleads guilty. He
says he's very sorry, and he swears

it'll never happen again. Your Honor,
I'm very sorry. I swear it'll never

happen again.

Well, as long as you two have your
stories straight.

$100 fine, time served.

Sir, your doctor's on the phone.

Good news on your specimen.

Thanks for keeping that confidential,
Bill.

All part of my job, sir.

surprised to hear myself say this, but
I'm genuinely going to miss you.

I know.

You feel you've missed your opportunity
to be with a man whose mere touch could

make you produce sounds only a dog could
hear.

Dan! I try to say something nice to you
and every single time you turn it into

something filthy and disgusting!

Anybody ever tell you you jiggle when
you're angry?

See what I mean?

Wood's paying my fine right now. I'll be
out of here in five.

Yeah, later.

Oh, Bobby.

Listen, next time you stop by your
father's office, look me up. I'm joining

the firm.

That figures.

Beg your pardon?

Well, he always keeps a couple jobs open
for bootlickers like you.

Hey, I don't lick anybody's boots.

At least not during business hours.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then how come I'm walking out of
here for chump change instead of going

to jail?

You get the standard penalty for a first
offense.

I guess old man Wood forgot to tell you
about the reckless driving and breaking

and entering vandalism. You had a
previous record?

Duh!

I was lied to?

You were bought.

Boss! I've been saving this for just
such a moment.

Maybe if I throw some Alka-Seltzer in
it.

into trying a case before I found out
the defendant had a record.

Ah.

Would it have made a difference had you
known?

Slightly. Instead of you giving him a
small fine, he'd have gotten, say, ten

years in jail.

Wait a minute.

Are you telling me that you let a repeat
offender waltz through my courtroom with

nothing but a slap on the wrist?

Harry, unless you lower your voice, I
can't tell you the rest.

more. A wee little bit, yeah.

You see, the lawyer that tricked me is
the same one who offered me the job.

He tried to bribe you? Yo, wait, no, no,
let's not have to use the B word here.

Yeah, that's a bribe. Just as certain as
if he handed you an envelope full of

cash.

You've touched it. You're in it, too,
now. You're in it, too. Oh, we're going

down. We're going down. I'm going down.
You're going down with me. I'm finished.

Everything's over.

You shot

me.

Don't make me empty this. Okay.

Calm down, Dan. You're not the one in
trouble here.

Wait, you're right, I'm not. You did the
right thing. Yes, you came to me. I did.

You were a pawn. I'm an idiot. You were
a duke. A drooling imbecile.

Absolutely. Thank you, Harry. This is a
great way to knock my mind.

Whoa, Dan.

He lied to you.

You're an officer of the court.

That is grounds for disbarment. We're
going to get this guy.

Oh, gee.

Couldn't we just write something rude
about him on the men's room wall?

Imagine that clown thought that for the
price of a couch, he could make Dan

Fielding compromise his principles.

It was real leather, Harry.

stop you from scarfing everything off my
plate.

There's no calories in stolen food.

Hi, guys. Where's Terry and Dan?

They just left for that disbarment
hearing.

I have never seen Dan so agitated.

At least not since somebody put sand in
his motion lotion.

What's he so worried about? It's the
other guy that's on trial.

You know, Freud might say that Dan is
afraid to confront Mr. Wood because he

represents a false father figure.

Yeah. Or maybe he just doesn't want to
look like a dork.

Ross, I thought we were supposed to meet
in my office to weigh in.

I got stuck down in Holdings, so I
decided to use one of the scales in

evidence.

I lost three pounds.

Oh, well, Ross, you know I can't really
write it down in the diary unless I've

actually seen that scale.

Who are you going to believe, me or some
lying piece of tin?

anymore. Yesterday I started wondering
how many calories my dog was.

That would depend on the breed.

I know it's tough, Roz.

And that's why I picked up something fun
to help us avoid those midnight snack

raids. It better not be one of those
stupid things that makes an animal noise

when you open the refrigerator.

for coming down with me. Hey, Dan, I
wouldn't want to miss your finest hour

as a prosecutor.

What if I make a complete fool of
myself?

I wouldn't want to miss that either.

Come on, I'm just trying to loosen you
up.

I don't... Oh, uh, Mr. Wood.

Listen, about all this disbarment
business, I just want to let you know

it's nothing personal. I hope you
understand.

Don't worry, Mr. Fielding.

I don't believe in revenge.

You don't?

What a great guy.

Harry, didn't I tell you he was a great
guy?

But I don't believe in letting someone
screw me over and get away with it

either.

Wouldn't that technically be revenge?

Don't you be intimidated by him, Dan.

I'm sure this judge is going to conduct
a fair and impartial hearing.

Clark, his files are a mess. Get fired.

You know what, Harry? I just remembered.
I left some milk out on my counter.

You two sit down and shut up.

I'm turning to the matter of Theodore
Wood.

This is a case of one attorney accusing
another of corruption.

You should all be aware there's nothing
I hate worse than a corrupt lawyer.

Except maybe a snitch.

Who spilled it?

I am, Your Honor.

Get your butt up here and stake your
grievance.

Briefly, very briefly.

He's dead!

You may elaborate.

He comes to office to be a great job.

I should have suspected immediately, but
he distracted me with the couch money

there. He tells me his partner
suddenly... It's a jail. It makes him

sound like an altar boy. So I decide to
get him out before some biker starts

calling him baby cakes.

Well, before I find out, he's a walking
crime wave.

It's too late.

Honest.

You may step down.

Thank you.

How do I sound?

Like Teddy Ruxpin hooked up to a car
battery.

I presume you have a response to those
charges?

May it please the court.

For years, Mr. Fielding has tried to get
the attention of our law firm.

These are a few of his letters and
resumes that he has sent us.

When my partner's son,

who is admittedly no angel, landed in
his courtroom, Mr. Fielding... saw it as

an opportunity to extract a job offer
from us in exchange for dropping the

charges. I refused.

And he retaliated by filing this
baseless action against me.

Liar!

Oh, fire! Fire!

What about that money?

Oh, apparently, Mr. Fielding has an
automated teller card and an active

imagination.

So, it's your word against his, and
little old me has to decide who to

believe. If I could perhaps be of some
help in this regard... Yes, yes, Mr.

Wood, I know your grandfather was on the
Supreme Court, you were first in your

class at Harvard, and you donate
one-third of your pre-tax earnings to

charity.

Since his honor seems to be so familiar
with my personal history, it seems only

fair to know something of Mr.

Fielding's. Send him in.

that he has had in this past week alone.

He met them at a place he frequents
known as the Sticky Wiki.

Your Honor, Mr. Fielding is not on trial
here. He has the right to socialize with

whomever or whatever he chooses.

Who do you think you are, Pencil Neck?

I happen to be a judge.

Well, Judge Pencil Neck,

When you were at law school, did the
term credibility of the witness ever

come up?

It might have.

Because that's what Mr. Wood is trying
to establish here. There may be evidence

that Mr.

Fielding is untrustworthy if he lied to
those women to get what he wanted from

them. He'd never lie.

Where do you get off talking like that
about the Prince of Wales?

Well, I'm still trying to figure out why
you keep jumper cables in your

nightstand.

Well, gentlemen, this has been an
illuminating experience.

Now, while the case against Mr. Wood
appears to be weak, there is sufficient

evidence to warrant continuing a
disbarment investigation.

What?

Yes!

He who laughs, laughs, laughs.

Begin disbarment hearings.

Against Dan Fielding.
