1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,860
Previously on Night Court.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,700
I don't know what I've been doing right
lately, but in the last three days, I've

3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,320
been offered a professorship at
Columbia, partnership in one of the most

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,360
powerful law firms in the country, a
seat on the Superior Court, and two

5
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:18,340
Look, I've got to be frank with you.

6
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,840
I just think that Howard Ritter is the
kind of guy that this country needs.

7
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:23,240
He's smart.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,480
So am I.

9
00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:26,180
He's dedicated.

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,400
So am I.

11
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:29,780
He's my brother -in -law.

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,360
And if the lazy bum lands that big job
in Washington, he moves out and I

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,360
get my den back.

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,540
I'm not here to talk about the past,
Dan.

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,460
I'm here to talk about my daughter.

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Well, believe me, my feelings for Pamela
are very genuine.

17
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,120
Yes, I'm sure you are deeply in love
with her money and all the power and

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,460
prestige that go with it.

19
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,200
Dan Fielding, I will not allow you to do
to my daughter what you did to me.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Don't make her fall in love with you.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,220
Give her a chance.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,200
There they are!

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,840
The people who've been following me!

24
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:11,140
One of the art people!

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,400
They're aliens!

26
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:21,530
A stunning turnaround is taking place in
the 13th congressional district where

27
00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:25,730
Christine Sullivan has pulled virtually
even with her opponent, Howard Ritter.

28
00:01:26,350 --> 00:01:27,830
You mean I still have a chance?

29
00:01:30,510 --> 00:01:35,090
And we finally have a winner in the 13th
congressional district. The winner is

30
00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:39,210
public defender Christine Sullivan. More
election returns after this.

31
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:41,850
What?

32
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:44,470
I won?

33
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,280
I hope you're happy.

34
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:47,040
My life is ruined.

35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,440
Well, Art, I'm sorry I beat your brother
-in -law, but I promise you I'll make a

36
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,440
great congresswoman.

37
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:56,780
Who cares about Congress? I'll never get
that chump out of my den.

38
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Would you two like to register for my
free drawing?

39
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,680
You can win a weekend in Cape Canaveral
where you glimpse the top secrets of the

40
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,680
U .S. space program.

41
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:11,300
Great.

42
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:15,290
I have some serious... questions about
zero gravity and personal hygiene.

43
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:21,770
Well, NASA isn't going to let some
raffle winner snoop around their base.

44
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:27,170
I know that, and you know that, but I'm
hoping that they...

45
00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:33,950
don't know that. It's a snare to

46
00:03:33,950 --> 00:03:35,270
catch them and prove that they're
aliens.

47
00:03:36,130 --> 00:03:38,970
What are you going to do, beat the truth
out of them with their shuffleboard

48
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:39,970
sticks?

49
00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:42,420
I know, I'm about to trick him into a
cat scan.

50
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,340
You wanted me, boss?

51
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Take care of these things pronto.

52
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:53,580
Um, confirm reservations at Rudy's Stop
and Bop Motel.

53
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Oil trapeze.

54
00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:00,760
Rewind and return your cassette of
Throbbing Hood.

55
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:07,420
I got a ten minute window at lunch. Go
down to the steno tool. Book me a

56
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Now! Oh, nitwit.

57
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:16,320
Dan, you're a little tough on Will.

58
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:20,500
Could the Honorable Lady from New York
please shut up?

59
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,500
Sir, I've got a messenger for you. Yeah?

60
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:29,340
Well,

61
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,159
what's the good word now?

62
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Unbelievable. I've just been offered an
endorsement contract with Nike.

63
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:41,360
Call it, Max.

64
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,020
Piva versus Susan Landon solicitation.

65
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,940
Mr. Prosecutor?

66
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,720
Why, yes. The Central Park Police
arrested Miss Landon and the structure

67
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,780
built in a large elm for the purposes of
solicitation.

68
00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:58,540
Wow. A treehouse of ill repute. Oh,

69
00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:01,720
shut your squeaky trap.

70
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,480
Must we forever endure your stupid
asides?

71
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:09,300
Lighten up, Counselor.

72
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:12,120
This is my court, and I will set the
tone here.

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,440
And at the tone... the time will be
recess.

74
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:33,200
Dan, I know you're ticked off about this
Pamela thing, but you have no right to

75
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,440
take it out on everyone else.

76
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,320
How do you know about that?

77
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,460
I heard you talking to her mother.

78
00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:41,600
I know why you broke up. Yeah, so what's
it to you?

79
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,120
You've already used up one whole
generation of women. Now you're working

80
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760
second. You just grow up, Dan.

81
00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:52,080
Why don't you just butt the hell out of
my life?

82
00:05:53,580 --> 00:05:54,580
Gladly.

83
00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:04,920
And if you win, you could be off to the
NASA Space Center.

84
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,660
Hey, Dale, who cares about rocket ships?

85
00:06:08,679 --> 00:06:11,020
Hey, can we win a nice space heater?

86
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,160
Space heater?

87
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Yeah. My feet are always cold. I have
very thin blood.

88
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:19,280
Really?

89
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:22,940
The atmosphere is different here. Not
like it is back home.

90
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,160
I knew it!

91
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,540
You're not from here, are you?

92
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:30,340
Come on, let's see some ID.

93
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,900
7 ,000 Aurora Borealis Lane, Jupiter.

94
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:44,700
Jupiter? Florida, Jupiter, Florida. We
have a condo down there.

95
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Great view.

96
00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:47,460
Of the stars?

97
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:48,940
No.

98
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:50,840
Of the clothing optional beach.

99
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,500
Come on, we've got some great snapshots.

100
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,880
There's one in particular that I want
you to see.

101
00:07:03,620 --> 00:07:05,200
You want it in court, Dan?

102
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Great.

103
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:25,660
Order in the court!

104
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,820
Order in the court!

105
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Ross?

106
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Hi, Dan.

107
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:32,920
Call it Heidi.

108
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:37,000
People of the feminine gender versus
Daniel R.

109
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,240
Fielding.

110
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,160
charges. Pick a file.

111
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Any file.

112
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is a
joke, right?

113
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:54,000
That's just what I was going to say
about you.

114
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:55,880
And to quote you, Mr.

115
00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:58,340
Fielding, let the games begin!

116
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,260
Do you want to help me out here,
Christine?

117
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Well, I'll do the best I can, Dan, but
I'm having trouble finding any favorable

118
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,780
testimony from women.

119
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,320
Oh, please.

120
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,380
Couldn't you have at least been nice to
your own mother?

121
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720
What? She doesn't count.

122
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:20,400
Look, deep down, I'm a sensitive,
romantic guy.

123
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Oh, yeah, Mr.

124
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,700
Romance? How about that take a number
dispenser on your bedpost?

125
00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:26,980
Hold on.

126
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,080
That was all in fun.

127
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:31,620
Fun for whom, Mr.

128
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,940
Fielding? Certainly not for all the
women jammed into the gallery or the

129
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:35,940
waiting in the hallway.

130
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,440
No, because the others lined up around
the block.

131
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:41,659
Boy, I can draw them, can't I?

132
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:45,960
Yes, you're a human pest strip.

133
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Why don't you just drop all this man
-hating stuff? You know, you wouldn't be

134
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,080
half bad if you lost those glasses and
your brother's suit.

135
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,700
Hey, Dan made me pay for every meal I
ever ate with him. You cheap bum.

136
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,460
But I always gave you dessert, Tam.

137
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:11,710
card to book two weeks in Acapulco.

138
00:09:11,970 --> 00:09:12,990
I paid you back.

139
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:14,570
But you took Tammy.

140
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:22,830
Please proceed, Ms. Maddox. Your Honor,
every woman in this room has a complaint

141
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:23,830
about Mr.

142
00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:26,450
Fielding's insensitive and selfish
behavior.

143
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:28,570
Your Honor, I object. That's purely
speculative.

144
00:09:29,050 --> 00:09:30,590
I love it when you're passionate.

145
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:33,550
Remember me, Dan?

146
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,770
You said I'd win the pageant if I slept
with you.

147
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:39,150
You were Miss Congeniality?

148
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,030
Boy, was she ever.

149
00:09:42,690 --> 00:09:43,790
Dan, you're not helping.

150
00:09:44,170 --> 00:09:45,970
Dan Fielding, you're a big fat liar.

151
00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:48,270
I am not fat.

152
00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:58,170
He never called after our first date. He
made me jump out of a cake on my

153
00:09:58,170 --> 00:10:01,530
birthday. He made me jump out of a cake
on Washington's birthday.

154
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:13,320
of the jury.

155
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:15,200
Well, come on now.

156
00:10:16,580 --> 00:10:17,880
Think about it.

157
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,260
Did I ever really give you any reason to
complain?

158
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:30,280
Wasn't I always Dan the man?

159
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,800
All right, so maybe I didn't pay enough
attention sometimes.

160
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,420
Occasionally, I used the wrong choice of
words.

161
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:44,440
Like, for instance, bop, bump, hump,
grind, pork, cork, and boink.

162
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,860
And don't forget the phrases.

163
00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:52,440
Shucking the corn.

164
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:54,060
Kissing the blarney stone.

165
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,780
Doing the mattress mumbo.

166
00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:00,040
Christine, just feel free to jump in
here any time now. How about hitting the

167
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,799
grand slam?

168
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,759
Hey, Christine.

169
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Sorry, I'm sorry. It was just so easy.

170
00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:07,780
At every turn, Mr. Fielding has used the
very spirit of female trust and

171
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:09,980
generosity. May I present...

172
00:11:10,530 --> 00:11:11,429
Exhibit A.

173
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:16,130
His grandmother's wedding ring and
alleged family heirloom. Be very careful

174
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:18,070
that. It is one of a kind.

175
00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:22,190
That belonged to my dear departed
granny, the woman who taught me how to

176
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:25,110
and respect the gentle gender.

177
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:27,710
Nice try.

178
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:32,870
How many women here possess the one of a
kind family heirloom?

179
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,520
special to me.

180
00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:46,620
Closing arguments, Counselor.

181
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,420
Dan Fielding's day of reckoning has
come.

182
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,960
The testimony in this courtroom today
has sealed the fate of a man who has

183
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,540
his entire life thinking only of himself
at the expense of every woman he has

184
00:11:58,540 --> 00:11:59,540
ever known.

185
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,080
Miss Sullivan?

186
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:09,160
Your Honor, how can all those accusers
be wrong?

187
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,500
Dan Fielding is a pathetic, boorish,
womanizing louse of a man. And he is

188
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,340
guilty. And don't sugarcoat it.

189
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,040
He's guilty of one thing.

190
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,060
Of loving women.

191
00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:24,560
Maybe not in the way we'd like to be
loved, but he does the best he can.

192
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,680
And beneath that slimy exterior beats
the heart of a truly sensitive man.

193
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,720
I've seen Dan with women.

194
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,360
And even if it's only for five minutes,
for those five minutes, he's made them

195
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,640
the center of his universe.

196
00:12:40,330 --> 00:12:42,490
Ladies, look into your hearts.

197
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:45,850
Wasn't that five minutes worth it?

198
00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:50,670
Thank you, Christine.

199
00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:53,310
You've saved me.

200
00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:55,390
Not necessarily.

201
00:12:56,510 --> 00:13:00,470
Dan Fielding, this court finds you
guilty on all charges of disrespect,

202
00:13:00,930 --> 00:13:04,990
insensitivity, and overall crappy
behavior toward women.

203
00:13:24,940 --> 00:13:25,940
just my tie.

204
00:13:27,020 --> 00:13:29,920
I'm okay. I'm alive.

205
00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:36,840
And I've got the answer.

206
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,720
All right. The moment of truth.

207
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,380
Where will my future be?

208
00:13:52,420 --> 00:13:53,920
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.

209
00:13:56,930 --> 00:13:57,930
Columbia University.

210
00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:00,990
Unanimous folks.

211
00:14:03,690 --> 00:14:05,130
Hey, good news, Mac.

212
00:14:05,330 --> 00:14:07,390
I made my decision. What is it?

213
00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:10,330
Touring with Miltormia, becoming an
exotic dancer.

214
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,790
You know I chafe in hot pants.

215
00:14:14,850 --> 00:14:17,290
I'm going to take the professorship at
Columbia University.

216
00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:19,770
Well, good for you, sir.

217
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,159
What made you decide?

218
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,960
Well, it was a tough choice, but it's
like you always say, you gotta go with

219
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,240
your first instincts. Right you are. You
gotta reach for your dreams. Set your

220
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480
marks high. Grab the brass ring. Go for
the gusto.

221
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:31,900
Quit law school.

222
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:36,600
What are you talking about? I haven't
even taken the job yet. No, no, me.

223
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,960
I'm quitting law school.

224
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:39,700
What do you mean?

225
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:42,380
Well, I've been accepted to film school,
Harry.

226
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,900
I want to make movies. I can't deny it.

227
00:14:46,340 --> 00:14:47,620
Well, then you shouldn't.

228
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:49,180
Hey.

229
00:14:52,869 --> 00:14:54,310
Well, I gotta get back to work.

230
00:14:56,450 --> 00:14:57,450
Mac? Yeah?

231
00:14:58,050 --> 00:15:00,930
You're not gonna forget me when you
become a famous director, are you?

232
00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:02,670
Of course I will.

233
00:15:05,130 --> 00:15:06,710
But it won't be anytime soon.

234
00:15:08,890 --> 00:15:10,090
Mac, Mac, Mac.

235
00:15:12,270 --> 00:15:13,270
Bye, Christine.

236
00:15:13,930 --> 00:15:14,930
Bye,

237
00:15:15,870 --> 00:15:17,530
Christine. I'm gonna miss that.

238
00:15:23,950 --> 00:15:27,710
I got some good news. Oh, good. I could
use some. It's my last night, you know.

239
00:15:27,890 --> 00:15:31,330
Yeah, you're starting a new job. You
must feel great, huh?

240
00:15:31,570 --> 00:15:34,030
I mean, excited and hopeful,
exhilarated.

241
00:15:34,570 --> 00:15:35,570
Actually depressed.

242
00:15:36,390 --> 00:15:37,349
What's the matter?

243
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:40,330
Well, Harry, everywhere I turn is a
reminder of what I'm leaving behind.

244
00:15:42,130 --> 00:15:43,130
Such as?

245
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:45,850
The smell of the hallway floor cleaner.

246
00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:55,830
The dingy green courtroom walls.

247
00:15:57,350 --> 00:16:01,870
Well, let's not forget the musty scent
that wafts up from holding on the summer

248
00:16:01,870 --> 00:16:02,870
nights.

249
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:05,030
How could I?

250
00:16:07,070 --> 00:16:09,190
Christine, I'm confused. I thought you
were happy.

251
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:13,070
Oh, no, I am happy about being elected.
It's just that I guess I never realized

252
00:16:13,070 --> 00:16:14,070
how much I'd be giving up.

253
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:16,890
Hey, I'm sure Congress has dingy walls,
too.

254
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:20,650
No, no, it's not that. It's making a
mark.

255
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:23,190
It's... really making a difference.

256
00:16:24,210 --> 00:16:26,690
You mean keeping those wheels of justice
spinning?

257
00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:30,830
Fifty -five dollars and time served.

258
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:37,070
Oh, Harry, this whole building really
means a lot to me.

259
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:39,710
It's where I've done my best work.

260
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:42,810
It's where I've found my closest
friends.

261
00:16:43,510 --> 00:16:46,210
It's where I've even had my baby.

262
00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:48,190
Yeah.

263
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,460
I always thought we should have retired
that elevator car.

264
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,220
Well, if we were to start doing that,
every inch of this dumb old building

265
00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:59,120
be a sentimental landmark for me.

266
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,220
Well, I guess I'm just being silly, huh?

267
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:06,380
Yeah.

268
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,400
Silly.

269
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,460
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to
go.

270
00:17:15,149 --> 00:17:18,770
Watch them scrape the gum off the
gallery benches one last time.

271
00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:32,930
Oh, to hell with the gum. I'm going to
miss you the most.

272
00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:42,110
$55 in time, sir.

273
00:17:46,060 --> 00:17:48,500
Uh, Your Honor, you know those two
people who've been following me?

274
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:49,899
Yeah, Bull?

275
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:50,719
Good news.

276
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,720
They're not aliens.

277
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:53,820
They're retired chestnut benders.

278
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,220
That's good news, Bull.

279
00:17:57,020 --> 00:17:58,060
And they're my friends.

280
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:02,180
Good Bull.

281
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,580
Last case of the night, sir.

282
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,880
Call it, Mac.

283
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,860
Oh, that's the last time I'll ever hear
you say call it, Mac.

284
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:12,420
People versus Burke and Merrill.

285
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:14,840
That's the last case I'll ever hear Matt
call.

286
00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:18,040
Mr. Prosecutor.

287
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:22,800
Your Honor, officers arrested Messrs.
Burke and Merrill on the fire escape of

288
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,280
their brownstone office where a fight
ensued when Mr. Burke tried to push Mr.

289
00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:28,220
Merrill's piano to the street below.

290
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,420
Sir, Burke and Merrill are songwriters
with a 40 -year partnership which

291
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:33,740
apparently they wish to dissolve.

292
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Burke and Merrill?

293
00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:37,640
I know your songs.

294
00:18:39,780 --> 00:18:41,820
Gentlemen, let me shake your hands.

295
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:43,350
You really know our songs?

296
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:44,690
Oh, yes, I do.

297
00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:51,650
You know, one of the earliest memories I
have of my mom is her singing me one of

298
00:18:51,650 --> 00:18:52,489
your songs.

299
00:18:52,490 --> 00:18:53,490
Let me guess.

300
00:18:53,770 --> 00:18:55,110
Rock -a -bye baby blues?

301
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:57,850
No, molasses pie and a coffee high.

302
00:18:59,070 --> 00:19:00,450
One of my best lyrics.

303
00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:02,130
One of my best melodies.

304
00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:04,390
One of Burke and Merrill's best songs.

305
00:19:04,670 --> 00:19:06,110
Hey, you've got a good memory, Judge.

306
00:19:07,930 --> 00:19:09,910
Memories are all I have of my mom.

307
00:19:13,429 --> 00:19:14,429
Thank you.

308
00:19:14,810 --> 00:19:15,810
You're welcome.

309
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:19,490
Once in a while we found something that
worked, I guess.

310
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:21,230
Yeah. Yeah.

311
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:26,570
I guess when it's gone, it's gone, huh?
So what do you say, why don't we try a

312
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:28,250
restraining order? That ought to settle
this.

313
00:19:28,450 --> 00:19:29,309
Hey, wait a minute.

314
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:31,770
Can't a couple of guys have an innocent
difference of opinion?

315
00:19:32,090 --> 00:19:35,310
Well, sure you can, as long as that
doesn't include attempted murder with a

316
00:19:35,310 --> 00:19:37,490
piano. Hey, we're artists.

317
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:38,910
We're nuts.

318
00:19:41,170 --> 00:19:42,230
We won't do it again.

319
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:47,310
Well, how would the counsels feel about
moving to dismiss these charges, seeing

320
00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:50,210
as harmony has been restored to this
partnership?

321
00:19:50,830 --> 00:19:51,830
So moved.

322
00:19:52,810 --> 00:19:53,810
Ditto.

323
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:55,810
Case dismissed.

324
00:19:59,710 --> 00:20:00,710
Christine?

325
00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:02,590
Are you ready?

326
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:04,510
Isn't there anyone left in holding?

327
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:08,510
It's a wrap.

328
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:11,550
Court's adjourned.

329
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,620
To Christine Sullivan, colleague and
friend.

330
00:20:24,260 --> 00:20:25,920
She belongs to the people now.

331
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:30,080
But she will always be here in our
hearts.

332
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,760
All right.

333
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:32,940
Thanks,

334
00:20:34,460 --> 00:20:35,460
guys.

335
00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:41,580
I... You have been...

336
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:46,740
You know... There she is.

337
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:49,020
The next Speaker of the House.

338
00:20:52,490 --> 00:20:55,470
Hey, doesn't somebody else have a
decision to share with his friends?

339
00:20:55,890 --> 00:20:57,710
Harry? You made a choice, Harry.

340
00:20:58,010 --> 00:20:59,010
Where are you going?

341
00:21:00,630 --> 00:21:01,630
The courtroom.

342
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:03,570
I'm going to stay.

343
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:05,390
You've got to be kidding.

344
00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:06,810
No.

345
00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:08,550
This is where I belong.

346
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:10,510
I do make a difference.

347
00:21:11,450 --> 00:21:15,410
Look at Burke and Merrill. They left
together tonight because somehow I was

348
00:21:15,410 --> 00:21:16,550
to strike a chord with them.

349
00:21:17,450 --> 00:21:18,530
This is my world.

350
00:21:19,630 --> 00:21:21,490
The way I see it, some of us are...

351
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,000
meant for greatness, and others are
meant to hold down the fort.

352
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:31,140
Plus, you'd miss that musty smell that
wafts up from holding on summer nights.

353
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:32,300
Yeah.

354
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,900
Harry, could I talk to you in the hall a
second?

355
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,180
If this is a chain letter, you're fired.

356
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,700
It is my letter of resignation.

357
00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:58,740
What?

358
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,080
I have to follow my heart.

359
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,640
I'm leaving.

360
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,960
I'm on a mission.

361
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:05,380
I'm chasing the woman of my dreams.

362
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:07,220
Don't you always?

363
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:11,360
This is different.

364
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:13,240
It's been building up for years.

365
00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:17,320
She's the only woman who's ever really
understood me.

366
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,960
You have to quit?

367
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,600
Yes, of course. I'm moving.

368
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,320
I'm going to dedicate all my time and
energy to winning her heart.

369
00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:28,800
Winning her heart? You mean she doesn't
feel the same?

370
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:31,180
Oh, well, don't be silly. She doesn't
even know yet.

371
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:33,580
Listen, I got to go.

372
00:22:36,620 --> 00:22:37,620
Bye, Harry.

373
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:43,160
Dan, who's the lucky girl?

374
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,720
Christine.

375
00:22:59,050 --> 00:23:00,050
Good night, sir.

376
00:23:00,210 --> 00:23:01,210
Hey.

377
00:23:01,710 --> 00:23:04,230
You're not going anywhere, are you? Are
you kidding?

378
00:23:04,430 --> 00:23:06,430
I just bought five new sets of
handcuffs.

379
00:23:08,590 --> 00:23:09,590
Buy you a beer?

380
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:10,830
Sure.

381
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:20,510
Hey, Harry, you lucky dog. You won my...
drawing.

382
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:24,850
Hmm.

383
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,640
Hi, Norm. Hi, Angelo.

384
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,019
What's up?

385
00:23:31,020 --> 00:23:33,800
Bull, we've decided to take you to
Jupiter.

386
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:36,220
Florida? No, no, Bull.

387
00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:38,900
Jupiter, the planet.

388
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,720
But you said you weren't aliens.

389
00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:44,180
We lied.

390
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:47,480
Bull, we need you.

391
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,500
You can help us solve our most pressing
problem.

392
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:52,700
Why, you'd be a hero.

393
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,140
You'd have a real purpose.

394
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,760
You mean, I'd be somebody?

395
00:23:57,060 --> 00:23:58,060
Yes.

396
00:23:58,550 --> 00:24:01,830
You'd be the guy who would reach the
stuff on our top shelves.

397
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:06,670
So, will you come?

398
00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:12,610
Okay.
