Previous on Boston Legal.

They're meeting soon to vote
on this year's partnerships.

Maybe you could
find out where I stand?

Jerry�s had a few blowups, Alan.

I've done everything I've been asked.

There will be no further opportunities
for partnership.

I'll kill her! I swear, I will kill her!

Denise Bauer, attorney,
Daniel Post.

I got stage-four lung cancer. I don't give a damn
what anybody I don't know thinks about me.

- Nice night.
- Suddenly it is.

- You had sex with her here?
- Sweaty sex right there in the coat-check room.

Did I tell you?
Bev and I are getting married.

Shirley, I am not going
through this again.

- Can someone catch me up here?
- Denny got engaged.

- Maze to?
- No maze to.

- Who is it this time?
- Beverly Bridge.

The woman Denny "Craned" in the coatroom
at that charity dinner last week.

This Bev turns out
to be another Angie- Oh, God.

- Angie?
- Number four.

- Wife number five was no picnic either.
- Clovis.

She almost got him to retire, pull his equity
out of the firm and move to Boca.

- And Clovis nearly sunk us.
- Half the staff quit.

And she was drunk the day
President ford stopped by.

All right. I'll pull out Denny's
last primp, see if I can water seal it.

Shirley, you talk to the woman.
Get her story.

Brad, check the partnership agreement.

We have to be sure there are no loopholes
in the mandatory buyout...

in case of partner's death
or incapacity.

- One thing.
- What?

Is there any remote possibility
we could be overreacting here?

I'll get the partnership agreement.

Docket number 24963S.

Commonwealth versus Gerald Swenson.

Attempted murder, assault,
assault with a deadly weapon, batty...

sexual batty, false imprisonment,
torture, terrorist threats.

Alan Shore for the preposterously
charged Mr. Swenson.

- Frank Ginsberg for the Commonwealth.
- How do you plead?

- Not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
- As to bail?

We ask that Mr. Swenson
be released on his own recognizance.

- Commonwealth opposes bail.
- You can't be serious!

Your Honor,
this incident was an aberration.

Mr. Swenson is an upstanding
member of this community...

is not a danger to society, and he has
a family counting on him at home.

- He has dependents?
- Her name is Linda.

Your Honor, let the record show
that his dependent is a gecko.

Mr. Swenson threatened to kill
his boss in her place of business...

and has a history of violent outbursts.

- He could be a flight risk.
- Flight risk? The man can't even hail a cab!

Sorry.

It is incumbent upon the Commonwealth
to protect the community at large.

God forbid he's released
and hurts someone else.

Bail is denied. Defendant shall be
remanded into custody immediately.

Mealworms are in the fridge.
I need to feed Linda. I need to get home.

Jerry, I'll feed Linda.

Sexual batty, torture, terrorist threats.

That isn�t justice. It's disproportionate
retribution. And good for you.

You've enlisted the one prosecutor
who's running for D. A. next year.

Tell me, how big
was your campaign contribution?

And is there a matching fund
here at the firm we can all go in on?

- It was sizable, and speak to Kim in Accounting.
- Jerry Swenson never intended-

Do not start defending him to me, Alan.

I agreed to defend him.
That's why he put down the knife.

No. You agreed to represent him.
No one here meant for you to defend him.

Shirley, no one is denying
what this man has done to you...

but he should at least get a fair trial.

Oh, ball means.

- Let's get a fair trial for the man who tried to slit my throat.
- Let's.

But understand that everyone
in this firm is considered a witness.

Don't expect anyone to help you
or speak to you.

And won't that make
for a refreshing change?

Shirley, have you talked
to Denny's fianc�e yet?

I've been a little busy, Paul.

I'm working on the primp,
but we need you to find out her intentions.

You're the one with the kind eyes.
I don't do girl talk.

Do I have to remind you
how serious this situation is?

If Denny becomes incapacitated-

or should I say further incapacitated-

this woman could become
his Nancy Reagan.

She'd have his power of attorney.
She could bring down the firm.

I'll talk to her.

- Daniel.
- I came to take you to lunch.

- I can't. I have a case.
- What is it?

A high school teacher is seeking
a temporary restraining order...

against one other student's parents.

- They're hounding the woman about their daughter's grades.
- Helicopter parents.

- Helicopter parents?
- That's what they're calling them now.

Parents who hover around their kids,
tee to control every aspect of their lives.

- Oh, that would be the Gearings.
- Cool. I'm in.

- What?
- I want to second chair.

- Have you ever actually tried a case?
- No, but I've always wanted to.

Think obit as the Make-A-Wish Foundation
granting a dying kid his fantasy.

If that kid were a rich guy in his 40s.

Besides, I could probably help you.

I'm on the board of the Lexington School.
My kids used to go there.

- We deal with helicopter parents all the time.
- That could be helpful.

- I would have to get the client's approval though.
- I can get that.

And I would have to get
one of the partners to agree.

Looks like a partner right there.

- Daniel Post.
- Denny Crane.

- I'm a client.
- I'm a partner.

- C. E. O., Christ berg Pelham.
- My name's on the door.

- I love the offices.
- Thank you. I love your hair.

- I got a plane.
- Indeed?

Could use a little more color though.

I'll make a note.
My fianc�e sells once furniture.

- Congratulations. I'd love to meet her.
- My club, Thursdays.

- They serve Reuben�s.
- I'll take you flying.

Oh, by the way, I'd like to tee a case
with Miss Bauer over here.

- Why not? See you Thursday.
- Thursday.

It's what I do. I make connections.

That's how we met. Remember?

- Shirley, I believe you know my client.
- Why isn't this man in jail?

He has an excellent attorney who filed
an emergency writ with the Court of Appeals...

and the judge agreed that denial of bail
was an abuse of discretion.

- You didn't tip him enough.
- He's not to be in this building.

I'll get a restraining order if have to.

- She hates me.
- Tempers seem frayed all around.

That's why I'm filing for a continuance.

We'll let everyone cool down a bit,
then stygian for plea bargain.

No. Plea bargains out of the question.
It's not guilty or nothing.

But you are guilty, Jerry.
A whole office full of people saw you do it.

One of the junior associates
took a video of you on his cell phone.

- He's thinking of entering it in a film festival.
- No plea bargain.

Proving temporary insanity is a daunting task.
You know that.

A plea bargain is our best chance
to keep you out of jail.

If plea bargain, I'll be disbarred.

Alan, my whole life is the law.

It's all I have. It's what I love.

You can't let them
take that away from me.

Then we go to trial.

Look up any case law,
any articles, news reports...

anything that supports the theory
that stress in the workplace...

can lead to an individual
losing control of themselves...

especially in the form
oaf violent outburst.

Got it.

Hello, Garrett.

You're not helping Mr. Shore on
the Swenson case because you�re a witness.

tam sure you're aware
that would be a connect of interest.

- I was just getting him coffee.
- Yeah. Well, you can't do that either.

- I'll take a decaf. though, thanks.
- Thank you.

Shirley, I know we're fighting...

but there's no reason
to take it out on the children.

Alan, this looks like
it could be tough on you...

especially since you don't
have an assistant anymore.

- Shirley fired you?
- Worse.

I got transferred to Human Resources,
where all the people persons are.

She's building a Chinese wall.

- What's that?
- It's a legal concept.

It keeps anyone in the firm who may be involved
in this case from talking to me about it.

Then you've got
a big-ass wall around you.

Shirley�s just trying to rattle my cage.

It's only a temporary transfer.

So you won't be mad if ignore you
in the hall adjust look at your shoes?

- I need my job.
- I'll tee to wear nice shoes.

They call me at night,
on the weekends.

They e-mail,
text message my cell phone.

They drop by for impromptu
parent-teacher conferences.

They challenge every grade,
every assignment.

The last straw was when my sister was
delivering her baby, and I was her coach.

They called me on my cell phone.

And when I said that Kathy
was starting to crown...

they asked when she'd be finished...

so we could discuss Rachel's paper
_n The Red Pony.

It used to be that teachers spent 80M
of the time with the students.

Now we spend 80M
of the time with the parents...

and it's hurting the kids.

Thank you.

Uh, excuse me, Your Honor.
Just one moment.

- The judge doesn't like her.
- She doesn't like me.

- You know who women do find charming?
- Hmm?

- Me.
- Miss Bauer?

- Let me ask a question. Just see how it goes.
- I don't know about that.

- Miss Bauer.
- Miss Carpenter. Would you say Rachel is a good student?

- Objection. Leading the witness.
- Right.

Sorry. I knew that. Sorry. Sorry.
What kind of grades does Rachel get?

She has between a B-plus
and an A-minus average.

And has the Gearings' attention
done anything to change that grade?

- Not at all.
- Have the Gearings contacted other teachers?

All the other teachers. The one they hounded
most was Mr. Sheeree, the math teacher.

- How did he react?
- He quit.

He couldn't take it anymore,
so he took early retirement.

I'm still 20 years away from that.

I was so excited to become a teacher.
No one told me it would be this way.

Nothing further, Your Honor...

unless, uh, you can think of anything.

I know what you want, Shirley.

And yes,
Denny does still talk about you.

He remembers his experiences
with you so fondly.

Did you know that he has a position
called the Schmidt?

Would that be the one where I read a magazine
while he lies passed out on the floor?

That's not what I heard.

Look, Bev. I'm a busy woman,
so I'll just get to the point.

Who are you
and what are you up to?

Oh, we're going to have
that conversation.

We are.

So you think I'm screwing Denny
for his money and power?

- It had occurred to me.
- Well, good news. I am.

I find money and power
just so appetizing.

- And why did you screw him?
- I lost a bet.

Shirley, you know, I-
I thought you were enlightened.

But it turns out you�re
the worst kind of female there is.

Either you condemn a woman as a whore
because she enjoys sex-

- I didn't say- - or you assume that
she's a manipulative gold digger.

Oh, Bev.

You know,
I've completely misread you.

Here I had you pegged
as some kind of predatory shark.

I came here today
with the intention of telling you...

that if you ever do anything
to hurt my friend Denny or this firm...

I will see to it that you are hunted down
legally and literally...

until you are penniless
and left to troll airport bars...

looking for alcoholic pilots
nearing retirement age.

But I can see I don't need to do that.

You know,
it's really hard to believe...

that you�re the one
that came up with the Schmidt.

So, uh, what is the Schmidt?

May I cut in?

I'm practicing for my wedding.
Come adjoin me.

Why not?

No, no. No, no. Not on the one.
It's not a mambo.

It's a feeling, like a heartbeat.

Ka-chug. Ka-chug. Ka-chug.

Shut up and dance, mister.

This case Shirley's pursuing
against Jerry-

I'm not allowed to talk about it.
Vietnamese wall.

She's cut offal my resources here,
which is fine.

It�s just getting a little crowded
around my hotel room...

with the two paralegals I've hired
from Harvard always underfoot.

Can't hear you over the wall.

Hey, you're a natural.

Anything Denny Crane can do,
I can do backwards and wearing high heels.

The feeling I get around here
is that people aren't that high on Bev.

- Haven't noticed.
- Well, I don't care if nobody else likes her.

- It's important to me what you think other.
- I imagine I'll like her.

No, Alan. I need a guarantee.

And I'm not talking about getting to know her
and forming your own opinion.

I need you to like her.

Denny, just knowing you care for her
makes me happy enough.

I'm feeling your tension.
You can't have a very strong case.

Jerry Swenson was determined to make partner,
he didn't, and that's what made him snap.

Well, what's so special about that?

All the associates want to make partner.

It's the carrot we dangle
in front of them...

to keep them working.

Excuse me, Denny.

Melissa, I need your help.
I need access to some personnel files.

Are you concerned
about Rachel's college prospects?

Yes. Even the state schools have taken
to admitting only the best of the best.

Are you saying Miss Carpenter
isn't qualified to prepare your daughter?

No. But we would be remiss
if we didn't stays involved.

Our most important job
is to prepare Rachel for her future.

Nothing further.

Ms. Gering, are you saying
that Miss Carpenter is a bad teacher?

- No. I didn't say that.
- How would you rate her? B-minus? C-plus? What?

- I don't think I could really-
- Because she has won a teaching award.

So maybe if you�re not giving her a good
enough grade, it's your problem, not hers?

- Is that possible?
- I never said-

We know you�re involved
with a lot of other teachers.

We don't want our teacher
to get lost in the shuffle.

- Maybe you were having a bad day when you evaluated her.
- Objection.

- I don't think you see her potential.
- Don't see how hard she works.

She works so hard. When the other
teachers are out playing, Traci's inside-

- Your Honor! - Miss Bauer! -
They're badgering the witness!

- Of course we're badgering the witness.
- You just figured that out?

Objection sustained.

Thank you for sustaining the objection
to the badgering of this woman.

That's what this whole trial is about.
Let's stop the badgering.

No one should be able to do
that sort of thing to anybody...

unless they themselves
are actually a badger.

In your opinion, did Mr. Swenson
seem insane to you?

No. He seemed to know
exactly what he was doing.

He even negotiated for the services
form. Shore as his attorney.

He only agreed to spare my life
on that condition.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Ah, Miss Schmidt.

I'm sorry.
It�s just these damn microphones.

I don't know
if you were able to hear her clearly.

I heard some obit, and it sounded great.

Testing, one, two, three. Testing.

Maybe if you sit a little closer.

Mr. Shore, we can all hear
the witness just fine.

You can? Good. It�s just Miss Schmidt
and I work together.

And around the office, Shirley's
considered something of low talker.

- Mr. Shore, do you have a question?
- Yes, I do.

I have here Jerry Swenson�s
performance reviews for the past 15 years.

Would you please read one for us?
Pick a year, any year.

For the record, Mr. Swenson�s
work reviews are all excellent.

Now, Mr. Shore, would you like me
to read one aloud for dramatic effect?

Now that you�ve taken all the fun out obit, no.
How 'bout I do it?

Uh-Ah. "_very has displayed...

"a vast knowledge of the law...

"delivered all assignments
in a timely fashion...

has consistently met with
the firm's minimum billable. "

There's no denying Mr. Swenson�s
exceptional work habits.

Yet, and I quote...

"_very Swenson
is not partnership material. "

- What exactly did that mean?
- We're a private firm at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

We have every right to decide what criteria
by which to make people partners.

Yes, but clearly...

Jerry Swenson
is not partnership material.

I mean, look at him.

He's awkward, unsociable, uh,
keeps his hands on his thighs at all times.

As I said, we have many criteria.

- So you�ve been lying toner. Is that it?
- I beg your pardon?

About his chances to make partner.
You never told him he wasn't partnership material.

Quite the contrary, you encouraged him
again and again to aspire to that position.

And yet, there it was-
"not partnership material"-

in his confidential files since 1990,
15 years ago.

You've been lying toner Swenson
for 15 years, haven�t you?

As you know, Mr. Shore, not everyone
makes partner at our firm or any other.

Other Weise, our letterhead
would be 20 pages long.

But as an institutionalized practice...

you keep all associates believing
they have a chance to make partner-

especially the exceptional ones-

even if you never have
any intention of doing so.

- Isn't that right?
- We encourage all our attorneys to do good work.

It's their job.

That incident in the conference room
a week ago...

with the cake knife...

that really rattled you, didn't it?

- Excuse me?
- A man held a knife to your throat.

You perceived it as a grave threat.

It rattled you.

The experience was not a pleasant one.

No, I'm sure it wasn't.

But let's talk about what's really
going on here, shall we?

A gifted, eccentric and loyal employee...

who worked for 15 years on a promise...

momentarily lost control of his senses...

when his one dream was taken away.

with everything short
of the Lindbergh kidnapping...

because ultimately
they�re just following orders...

from the great and powerful Schmidt,
aren't they?

- Objection. Relevance.
- Sustained. Mr. Shore.

Did someone move for a mistrial?
'Cause I'm fine with that.

- You will keep your questions relevant, Mr. Shore.
- Nothing further.

When Mr. Swenson was denied partnership
at the firm, was he fired?

No. He was offered a position of counsel
and was free to stay.

What salary would Mr. Swenson
have made if he�d stayed at the firm?

Approximately $300, OOO per year.

$300, OOO a year?

Sounds like a real coal mine
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

It's not going vowel, is it?

No, it's not.

Jerry, it may be time to start thinking
of who will take care of Linda if...

you're away.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Jerry, I'm going to make a case
for temporary insanity...

that is as compelling
as it can possibly be.

But it's thin at best.

And I must be frank with you.

I don't know if it will be enough.

My dad is a mathematics professor
at Cornell...

and he's always saying,
"May I have some toast?"

I don't understand.

He says that over and over again-
"May I have some toast?"

"May I have some toast?"

And eventually he says it enough...

and someone always gives him toast.

Your father?

He never gives up.
That's what I'm saying. It's the toast.

Bingo. We should never give up.

No, we won't give up, Jerry.

I felt like a cross
between Clarence Darrow...

and, uh, Al Pacing
in that movie where he shouts.

You are really good at trial law.
You should, uh-

Maybe next life.

Anaya, enough about me.

Let's talk about you.

Why are you getting involved
with a dead guy?

I, uh, tee not to think about it.

I do find myself...

being strangely forthcoming with you.

Oh. So you�re my Count Guido.

Who?

Count Guido ad Montefeltro.
Uh, from Dante's Inferno.

Dante meets Guido in hell.

Guido tells him that if he thought his words
would ever reach the real world...

he'd never reveal
his true feelings to anyone.

But because he thinks Dante is dead,
he tells him everything.

So you think I'm honest with you
because you�re, um, a dead guy?

Something like that.

So, Guido, can I do the closing?

It's called Asperser Syndrome.
And as you suspected, it is hereditary.

Asperser Syndrome.

It sounds like something
you'd cure with an ointment.

It's a form of autism.

From the behavior
that you�ve described...

and from what I read
in his personnel file-

Oh, dear.
However did you get hold of that?

Jerry Swenson is a classic case.

No eye contact,
strange tic-like behaviors...

passion for a single subject-
in this case the law- sudden outbursts.

Basically, their brains can't process
ordinary nonverbal cues...

that most people use to communicate.

- I know it sounds strange.
- I'm not one to judge.

Do you thinker Swenson
knows he has it?

I doubt it. Most adults don't know.

I t wasn't even considered
a disorder until 1995.

Denny.

What's this?

It's your primp from your last marriage.

It's hard to believe
I was ever that young.

I took the liberty of drawing up
a new one with some addendums.

"In the event that either party becomes physically
or mentally incapacitated, their assets"-

This isn't about protecting me.
It's about protecting the firm.

You've been through wives before, Denny.
Five of them.

This firm is the constant.
We're the ones who are still here.

And this does look after
your best interests.

You mean the best interests of the firm.

Oh, for God's sake, Denny!
Someone has to worry about this firm!

And since you won't, I have to.

Because you�re a senior partner.
Yet your name isn't on the door.

Mine is. First name on the door.

I'm not interested in getting into
an historical argument with you.

Why? Because I built this firm
from the ground up?

I care about what could happen
to this if ram now. I

Let me tell you what'll happen to this firm
if Denny Crane left.

It would die up and blow away,
and you with it!

I'm the big gun on this boat.
The captain!

And you're nothing but a skinny,
overpaid deckhand!

No, I am the deckhand
who steers the ship...

because the captain
isn't up to it anymore!

Get out!

Look over the new document, sign it,
and get it back to me today!

I'm not signing anything.

I can't believe we're here today because
these parents care too much about their child.

The truth is our children are growing up
in a frighteningly competitive world.

They'll face global competition
the likes of which we've never seen before...

and we are unprepared.

The most recent study ranked American
students 16th in the world in science...

19th in the world in mathematics.

Of American 12th-graders,
30M of the boys and 17M of the girls...

cannot read at the basic level.

This type of failure will kill our kids.

And that's what George and Gig Gering
are trying to prevent.

These parents are simply trying to secure
their daughter's future as best they can...

a future that they know will be challenged
with ever-increasing competition.

What I would have given to have parents
as involved as the Gearings.

If you ask me, their daughter's lucky
her parents care so much.

Before I start, um, I know you think
your parents weren't involved.

But look at you.
I think you turned out super.

By the way, Your Honor,
I'm, uh- I'm dying.

- I object!
- You object.

- He's trying to garner sympathy, Your Honor.
- Not at all, Your Honor.

I only mean to say that my current situation
gives me a unique view on life.

Sustained.
Mr. Post, proceed with your closing.

Right. Moving on.

The Gearings want to be involved
in their child�s education, and they should be.

But in their zealotry, they left
one thing out of the equation.

The teacher.

Because let's face it, Your Honor,
we treat our teachers like crap.

Instead of training
our educators properly...

and believing in them and
incentivizing them with decent wages...

we disrespect them,
we challenge them at every turn.

And the government and their No Child
Left Behind Act have created a monster.

Instead of teaching children to be innovative,
our educators are forced to teach to the test.

And it's been documented some teachers
are themselves cheating on those tests...

because their salaries
their bonuses, their job security...

are linked to the test scores.

Sit down. Sit down.

And on the other side, we have parents like
the Gearings coming at them from all angles...

questioning their every move
instead of putting their faith in them.

But they do it from a good place.

I mean, all they want
is complete and utter control.

And believe me, I know all about
wanting control over life...

and having very little obit.

But you can't control life.

You can't control your daughter.
You can't control a teacher.

All you can do is inspire them
to be innovative thinkers...

people who tap into their own creativity
and confidence to tee new things...

to challenge the status quo,
to make new discoveries.

Our kids will do all that and more
if we just back offend let 'em grow.

Just my luck, one of the little bastards
will come up with a cure for cancer.

They say Albert Einstein
may have had Asperser Syndrome.

Thomas Jefferson.

Some say even Bill Gates
exhibits certain signs obit.

Very good company.

)very?

- It's a relief actually.
- You think?

I always hated
that I couldn't be normal.

Turns out...

it's because I'm not.

Jerry, it's also a viable defense.

- We just need the psychiatrist to give you a diagnosis.
- No. No. No, no.

Jerry, without a clinical diagnosis-

With a diagnosis in court,
it'll be a matter of public record.

I will be the autistic lawyer.

Forget about disbarment.

No one will ever hire a mental case!

Jerry, listen.

Then I certainly could never
be a lawyer again! No. No.

No!

After carefully reviewing the testimony...

as well as mown conduct
as a parent oaf teenager...

I am ruling in favor of the plaintiff.

Yes!

- Mr. Post, control yourself.
- Sorry, Your Honor. Sorry. Sorry, everybody.

Mr. and Mrs. Gering, it is plainly evident
that you love your daughter.

But your interest in her studies has,
in my view, become intemperance.

Therefore, I am granting the petitioner's
request for injunctive relief.

You may call Miss Carpenter
once every three weeks.

And you can have one
parent-teacher conference per term.

We're adjourned.

- Thank you both so much.
- You're welcome.

Thank you.

- Nice work, counselor.
- Yeah- Oh, nuts!

I didn't get a chance to ask the court
reporter to read back someone's testimony.

That would've been awesome.

Do you want to go, um, celebrate?

I'll be out in a minute.
I just want to savor the moment.

Okay.

- Asperser Syndrome.
- What?

I wasn't familiar with it either.

But these three highly regarded
psychiatrists have heard obit...

and they're all convinced
Jerry Swenson suffers from it.

- It doesn't change anything.
- It actually changes a lot.

According to
the Americans with Disabilities Act...

it changes Jerry Swenson from
an oddball who attacked his boss...

to a man who has suffered his whole life
from a form of behavioral autism.

It also changes your case
from a winner to a loser.

- What are you looking for?
- Dismiss the charges.

- No.
- There's no reason to prosecute this man.

Shirley, you must have something
to say about this.

I do.

I'm sorry Jerry has autism.
It explains a lot.

But what's to stop him
from doing it again?

From attacking someone else?
Or worse?

Because he wants to get better.

There's medications
that can help control his outbursts...

behavioral therapy
to rehabilitate his social skills...

occupational therapy for his tics.

It's what's fair and what's right.

Would you excuse us, please?

Shirley,
in the time that I've known you...

I've never seen you do
what you�re doing now.

You said to me at the outset
you were looking for justice.

Jerry Swenson has been suffering
needlessly his entire life.

Now he has a chance
to find a measure of peace.

That�s justice, Shirley. Isn't it?

You'll get him help?

My word.

It's over?

It is.

Jerry, it's best you leave now.

Shirley's largesse will only go so far.

I'm just-

I want to, um-

Good-bye, Alan.

- So, Guido?
- Mom?

Who do you see playing me in the movie?
I'm thinking Denzel.

I don't think this case
was the stuff Oscars are made of.

- To me it was.
- I don't get it.

You've built a billion-dollar company
from the ground up.

Why does this excite you?

I don't know.

I mean, stocks, futures.

It's sort of fantasy. You know?

You can't really see it.

But a courtroom and adjudge,
someone who needs my help...

that I can see, smell, hear, touch, taste-

it's four stars, five senses.

I was really good in there, wasn't I?

I imagine you�d be pretty good
at anything you tee.

I start chemo again tomorrow.

Okay.

Good evening.

Mm-hmm.

You hate me too, don�t you?

Bev, I don't know you well enough
to hate you, or love you...

or be indifferent to you.

Denny said you spoke your mind...

but geez Louise.

I will say the fact
that everyone else at this firm...

does not have
a favorable opinion of you...

is certainly a point in your favor.

Paul.

Denny.

Got a pair of Celtic tickets
for tomorrow night...

if you�re interested.

Thanks.

- Denny?
- Yes?

Well, I'm...

just surprised after our argument.

- Argument?
- Denny, it was just yesterday.

Paul, I would remember
if we had a fight.

We almost came to blows.
How could you not-

Would you rather rehash all that,
or should we just pretend that I forgot?

If you�ll forgive me,
I left Bev on simmer.

She should be coming to a boil
rather nicely now.

Hey.

My favorite girl, my favorite guy.

I warmed up your cigar for you.

Well, it's not the first time
you left my stogie smoking.

- Ooh!
- Well, I'm going to let you two young men have your time.

I will see you later.

- Bev.
- Yeah?

- Do it once before you leave.
- Bev Crane.

Oh! That's my girl.

- Good night, Alan.
- Good evening, Bev.

So, do you like her yet? You promised.

- I did, and I do.
- Thought you would.

She has many fine qualities.

She makes my friend smile.
That's the only quality that matters.

Alan...

Bev is the woman
I've always dreamed of.

An angel in the bedroom,
a whore in the kitchen.

I think it's the other way around.

Not last night.

You stinker!
