Previous on Boston Legal.

You're dying,
and it's eating me up inside.

- So are we okay?
- You're going off like a dog, aren�t you?

- What do you mean?
- When a dog knows it's going to die...

it goes off into the woods
by itself.

- Denny got engaged.
- Who is it this time?

- Beverly Bridge.
- You think I'm screwing Denny for his money and power.

- It had occurred to me.
- I'm prepared to give you $500, OOO right now...

if you walk away and never have any
contact with Denny Crane ever again.

Bev turned down
the offer that I made her.

- She was reoffended.
- This is going to get ugly.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Not much going on around here,
is there?

No.

I suppose coming to a lawyer's office
can't be much fun.

Actually,
everybody seems friendly here.

They're given an unlimited
supply of doughnuts.

Here, sweetheart.

- Phyllis?
- Alan.

- Hello.
- Hi. Hello.

- I see you have met Marissa.
- I have now.

- Could we talk in your office?
- Of course.

Would you mind watching her
just a little longer?

Thanks.

If you get restless,
we'll be right down this hall.

I had a hard time
tying to find you.

- I called Caruthers Abbot.
- I was fired. Embezzlement.

- Then I tried Young, Fruit and Berlet.
- Yes. That ended badly.

And here you are
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

- For now. And you?
- Still a legal secretary.

Although the law isn't
as much fun as it was...

when I used to
watch you bend it.

I need your help.

You used to say that I could
come to you for anything.

I meant sexually.

- This is for Marissa.
- She's lovely, Phyllis.

She seems to be having
a bad day though.

Marissa can't smile.

She had nerve damage
from a car accident...

and she had surgery...

to tee to correct the problem,
but it didn't work.

Alan, she's had a really tough
time obit at the public school.

She's been teased mercilessly.

There you go.
See that?

Now, watch this.

It's disappeared.

What-What's up your ear? And a-

Okay, kid.
Let's see it again.

I'm trying to get her into
the Adams Academy for a fresh start.

The admissions director,
he was so excited to meet her.

And then he met her,
and she didn't smile, and that was that.

These private schools
have become so competitive.

They don't need to let
anyone in who isn't perfect.

When I was in school, the closest
I ever came to that appellation...

was to be called
a perfect bastard.

I don't wanna sue them, because if
get known as a litigious parent...

I'm never going to get Marissa
into any school.

But... I do know
that you can be...

well, a perfect bastard.

Denise, I understand
you're going through...

some difficulties
in your personal life.

Um, yeah. It's hard,
but I'll get through it.

From what I know about you,
when things get tough...

you prefer to buy yourself
in your work.

Allow me to provide you
with a shovel.

This is Theresa Warner
and her daughter Amelia.

Denise is going to be working
with us on the case.

Amelia is 18.

She was assaulted and raped
two months ago...

and taken to the nearest
hospital, St. May's.

Once we knew she was stable, my first
thought was the morning after pill...

only the treating physician
at the hospital told us...

that type of treatment
was not available at St. May's.

He refused to give it
to my daughter.

But the legislature recently
passed a law requiring hospitals...

to provide emergency
contraception for rape victims.

They did. But Massachusetts law
also contains a conscience clause.

Catholic hospitals don't have
to administer any treatments...

that connect with
their religious principles.

Emergency contraception
included.

As soon as she was discharged,
we went to our family doctor...

but he told us it was too late
to prescribe it.

It needs to be administered
as soon as possible...

but no later than 72 hours
after the-

I know this is difficult
for both of you.

Amelia, you've been through
so much trauma already.

So, we'll begin by pursuing
a settlement with the hospital.

No. No.
I want the public to know.

I was raped,
and now I'm pregnant...

because the doctor wouldn�t give me
the contraceptive to prevent it.

I want a trial.

Where is he?

Denny, are you sure
we can count on him?

Brad is the best.
I just made him partner.

Well, I want reassurance!

He served in the Gulf War...

the one that turned out okay.

He was top in his class at West Point
and at Harvard Law School.

I'd put mown life
in his hands.

Once we remove the ventilator,
it'll be a matter of minutes.

You may hear a slight rattle in the chest.
This is normal.

- The suffering should be minimal.
- Do it.

Step away from the ventilator!
Move away! I have a court order.

Oh, Barry!

Oh, he's alive.

He's alive!

Oh, my baby!

So, Marissa, before I meet
with the board at Adams...

about reconsidering
their decision...

I thought it might be a good idea
for us to get together...

and have a whole bunch of sugar
and talk about school.

- Okay.
- What's your favorite part of the day?

I like all my classes.

But, I guess, art-

drawing and painting and stuff.

When I was in fourth grade...

I remember having
to draw a horse.

- Gave me a very tough time.
- I'm studying Magritte.

- And what do you like about Magritte?
- The way things are put together.

It's so... unlikely.

They're beautiful like other paintings,
but they make you think.

You wonder why things
are the way they are.

He has this one-
a picture of pipe.

And under it says,
"This is not a pipe. "

It says it in French.
I translated it for you.

That's it!

One of my favorites as well.

It gave me an idea for one.

- Marissa, this is wonderful.
- Thank you.

Everyone�s always
telling girls to smile.

They never say that to guys.

I think smiling is overrated...

as you Can See.

- I will not allow you to destroy my Barry.
- The cat is dead.

- The animal is a vegetable.
- Guys-

Nature has spoken.
When it's your time, it's your time.

Says the man with the pacemaker
and the prosthetic balls.

That's different.

Denny, I'm a partner.
It's a cat.

You're exactly right, Brad.

I wouldn't trust an associate
with a case this important.

This is Bev's cat. That guy in there,
Bev's fourth husband-

Mattress Majesty.
Worth millions.

Troubling thing about America,
anybody can grow up and be rich.

Denny, still, it's a cat.

- Barry Mani low�s not just a cat.
- What?

Barry Mani low-
the cat's full name.

- Even better.
- Barry Mani low is Bev's cat.

If it matters to Bev, then I, Denny Crane,
have to pretend that it matters to me.

- Denny- - Bev will be happy, which
makes me happy, which makes you happy.

So, really, Brad,
you're doing this to make you happy.

Two months ago,
I was walking to my car.

I was almost there.
I was already getting out my keys...

when this man, um-

Out of nowhere, he, um-

he grabbed me, and-

Take your time.

After he was done,
he just kept hitting me...

and hitting me
and hitting me.

And then I-I woke up
in the hospital.

So you didn't choose
St. May's specifically?

No. I mean,
I wasn't even conscious.

They took me to
the nearest emergency room.

At any time while
you were being treated...

did nurses or physicians
bring up the possibility...

of becoming pregnant
from the attack?

My mom and I asked about it, and they said
that the chances were small...

but I wanted to take the morning after
pill anyway just in case.

That's when Dr. Tustin said
that that wasn't available...

in a Catholic-aliased
hospital.

How long were you
at St. May's?

- Three days.
- And after you were discharged?

We went to our family doctor
to tee to get the prescription there.

And that's when they told us
that it has to be taken within 72 hours.

I mean, it was too late.
I was already pregnant.

How do you plan to handle
the pregnancy?

Well, I've always been morally
opposed to abortion, so-

Of course,
I never imagined this.

I don't-
I don't know.

When you were told that emergency
contraception was unavailable...

did you ask for a referral
to get the medication somewhere else?

No, because they-

Did you or your mother...

bring the concern up again
during your time at the hospital?

- They had made it pretty clear-
- I'm sorry, Amelia.

Yes or no?

- No.
- Thank you. Nothing further.

It was on Denny's orders. It's Bev's cat.

That woman's influence on this firm
is increasing daily.

The case won't go to court.
They've agreed to arbitration.

Once the arbitrator sees the evidence,
he'll rule to pull the plug.

- That'll be that.
- You better hope he doesn't.

- Come again?
- Brad...

since your attempt
to bribe Denny's fianc�e...

to leave him
failed so miserably...

we must now stay on her good side
lest she tell Denny.

You have to win this case
quickly and quietly.

It's like frigid' Shakespeare
around here.

Dr. Kumis, as an ob-gyn,
can you tell us how...

and why emergency contraception
is used?

It's a higher dosage of the same hormones
that are used in birth control pills.

It's administered as a last-minute
contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.

And in your expert opinion,
how is it related to the abortion pill?

I tm�s not. RU-486-
also called the abortion pill-

terminates
an existing pregnancy.

Emergency contraception,
like all methods of contraception...

keeps a pregnancy
from occurring.

And if fertilized egg has
successfully been implanted...

meaning a pregnancy has begun-

Taking the morning after pill has no
effect. It can only prevent a pregnancy.

- tat cannot terminate one.
- So there is no correlation...

between the morning after pill
and abortion?

There's a significant
inverse correlation.

Studies show emergency contraception,
if it�s made readily available...

could prevent as manias
700, OOO abortions a year.

- Your Honor, this whole thing is about spite.
- His.

- Hers.
- Objection.

People, let's put the vitriol aside,
not to mention...

the complete ludicrousness of this case,
and look at the facts.

Ms. Bridge, you've owned
this cat for 11 years?

- That is correct, Your Honor.
- Nevertheless...

the court awarded Mr. Bridge
joint custody of Barry.

- The cat's name is Barry Mani low?
- I t is, Your Honor.

And my client has developed
a strong bond with Barry.

- Strong bond.
- "Strong bond. " Give me a break. Your Honor, let the record...

reject that since the divorce,
Mr. Bridge has been late...

in returning the cat, fed him die food only,
did not have adequate litter box hygiene...

and was often seen calling the cat
"stupid" in public.

- That's terrible.
- I tm�s a cat.

I don't think
I hurt his feelings.

As directed by
the joint custody agreement...

Mr. Bridge was required
to make all veterinary payments.

And Ms. Bridge, acting out of malice,
took advantage of that...

by subjecting the cat to the most
expensive treatments possible.

- Objection. He's disparaging my client.
- Three thousand dollars a month?

- Could this possibly be correct?
- Yeah, it is, Your Honor.

We have an affidavit from the vet.
Barry is 99.9M dead.

Which makes him
.1 percent alive!

- The glass is half full, Your Honor.
- Barry�s completely alive to me.

How could you tell
under your drunken haze?

- Hey!
- Hey!

Enough!
Let me remind you...

that I can still impose
sanctions in arbitration.

This is a property matter only.

Keep the emotions out.

We shall reconvene tomorrow...

and I will tee not
to remind myself...

that this is a day
I will never get back.

Excuse me. Could you direct me
to the conference room, please?

Sure. It's down the hall
to the left.

Thank you.

- Hello, everyone.
- Hello.

- You must be the chairman, Lester Tremont.
- I am.

I'm Alan Shore.
Thank you foreseeing me.

I won't take up
much of your time.

As you know, I'm here
regarding Marissa Deader.

- Yes. We have her application in front of us.
- Ah, delightful.

Then we can all take pleasure
in it together.

As you see, she's obviously
an exceptional student.

She's in the top 1 O percentile
on her standardized tests...

her grades have never dipped below
an A-minus, and she pursues and excels...

in a broad range
of extracurricular activities.

And yet, she wasn't admitted
into your fine institution.

We all make mistakes.
And perhaps it was partially our fault.

Her mother tells me she had a dreadful
interview, which sometimes happens...

especially considering the extenuating
circumstances in this case.

My thought to recto_
the situation is this:

You reinter view Marissa,
review her remarkable work...

and reconsider putting her on your roster
here at Adams Academy.

And then let's go beat our archrivals,
whoever they are.

That sounds like quite a plan.
Unfortunately...

we have sent out
all of our admissions letters...

the class is full, and there's
an extensive wait list.

- Ah.
- And while we would love to accommodate Marissa...

it would be unfair
to all the other applicants.

Yes, it would be.
I was hoping we wouldn't tell them.

Have you seen any
of Marissa's artwork?

Here's a self-portrait
which certainly exhibits...

a depth of insight that is
highly unusual for child of nine.

As you know, Marissa is the girl
who cannot smile.

Yes. That was brought to our attention,
and our hearts go out to her.

Let's make a deal. Keep your hearts,
and let the girl into your school.

Mr. Shore, the Adams Academy is a highly
demanding, highly competitive institution.

We turn down over
90Mofourapplicants.

And in a transfer case
like this, it's 98M.

Now, for whatever reasons,
Marissa simply did not meet our standards.

Perhaps she just needs
a year of maturing.

Maturing?
She's ready for retirement.

Well, she is free to reapply
to our academy next year.

- She cannot wait another year.
- Thank you for coming in, Mr. Shore.

I take it we've stopped being nice.
I know I have.

Mr. Tremont,
Marissa has a disability...

and you and your institution
are discriminating against her.

Mr. Shore, that is not true.
But even if it were true...

as a private school,
we have every right...

to discriminate against
a disabled student.

As a private school,
we are not bound by the I. D. E. A...

and neither parents nor students have any
recourse to challenge denial of service.

- Oh, my God, you're a lawyer.
- Yes. Several of us are.

Let me tell you
two things about myself.

I, too, am a lawyer, I can be painfully
vindictive, and I do not play fair.

- That's three things.
- See? Not playing fair already.

- And I'm just getting started.
- Mr. Shore...

J our school has been sued
several times never successfully.

You know what they say, Lester.
You never forget your first time.

Dr. Tustin, Ms. Bower is saying
there is no moral debate at play here.

In the Catholic religion,
human life begins when the egg...

is fertilized,
not implanted.

At that stage,
a life is in motion.

Regardless of how it happened,
my moral and religious belie_...

will not allow me
to integer.

And a conscience clause
assures that I don't have to.

Of course, you also follow this- the U. S.
Department of Justice�s protocol...

for treating
sexual assault victims.

- Is that right?
- It's a very effective tool for handling...

the delicate nature
of these cases.

In the 130 pages
of that document...

does it ever recommend the use
of the morning after pill?

No. But it does address
several important issues...

regarding the care
oaf sexual assault victim...

including collecting
a biological sample...

to assist in locating
and prosecuting the attacker.

- Were you successful in obtaining that sample?
- We were.

The rapist was identified,
convicted and is awaiting sentencing.

Nothing further.

Dr. Tustin, in extreme circumstances
like sexual assault...

many Catholic hospitals
will make an exception...

and provide the rape victims
with emergency contraception.

Catholic hospitals are free to interpret
sections of the ethical...

and religious directives
liberally or conservatively.

We at St. May's take a restrict
application to Catholic teachings.

Tell me, Dr. Tustin, do you have
a set schedule at the E. R.?

OO to S:OO? Monday to Friday?
- Shifts are much longer than that.

We're often on call
for 24 hours at a time.

- Ah. So you often work weekends.
- Of course.

But that would put you squarely
on the job during the Sabbath.

And Exodus 35:2 states that...

"He who works on the Sabbath
should be put to death. "

That's a rather
fundamentalist interpretation.

Moving on.
Mark 16:18 states that...

"A believer can drink any deadly thing
and not be harmed. "

As a physician, are you ready to say
that your Catholic patients...

can take a swig of arsenic
and suffer no adverse affects?

That's not intended to be
interpreted literally.

But you interpret
some things literally.

Are you saying
that you just follow...

the parts of the Bible
that make sense to you?

God was fairly straightforward
with "Thou salt not kill. "

They said if you pour it,
he will come.

Not tonight, Denny.
I'm angry.

Do you know private schools
can openly discriminate...

because of religion,
gender, even disability?

Of course they can. They're private.
That's the way it ought to be.

It's the way it once was
with clubs...

before the feminist lesbian
cabal ruined this county.

I'm trying to get a young girl
into the Adams Academy.

- Little Miss Gloomy Greta there?
- She's not gloomy.

Pulled a coin out other ear,
and she didn't even laugh.

- There's something wrong with that girl.
- That is the acid test.

You're a little
Gloomy Greta yourself.

I don't know how
I'm going to get her in.

The entire legal system sits
squarely on the other side.

- Alan, you're missing the whole point.
- Which is?

The concept of private.
Private doesn't operate by the law.

Private operates above the law like-
like Greek gods...

hovering above the earth on
their own private Mount Olympus.

Now, Greek gods broke the rules
and the laws.

But the one thing they respected
was power and influence.

Now, Alan, if all else fails...

and you think you�ve lost,
pretend you've won.

Works for our president.

Maybe it just isn't funny.

I hate cats.

- I beg your pardon?
- Can't stand 'em.

Barry belonged
to my third husband.

When he tried to pick me up at a bar,
his toupee was slipping...

and he told me
hews a breast inspector.

- And you married him?
- You can see why I prefer the cat.

Husbands come and go, and when they go,
their friends go with them.

And then you end up alone.

Except for Barry.

I apologize
for what can be construed...

as an inappropriate gesture
last week.

As you should.
And I know you think...

I'm blackmailing you
because you tried to bribe me.

And I am.

But... putting all this
aside for now...

I really need you
to win this.

Please.

- You wanted to see me, Mr. Crane?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gay, uh, come on in.

Here Come on.

Come here.

Funny?

How did you do that?

You and me-
lunch tomorrow.

I'll show you how.

Let's keep in mind exactly who's at fault...

for Amelia Warner's trauma-
her rapist.

Instead, here we are, attacking the doctor
that treated Amelia-

whose efforts are responsible
for the apprehension...

and imprisonment
of that rapist-

because that doctor,
acting within his rights...

did not administer medication that
conflicted with his religious beliefs.

Belie_ that he promised to uphold
when he was hired at St. May's.

But forget religion.
let's look at the law.

In 130 pages of protocol
on how to treat sexual assault victims...

the United States Department of
Justice never even mentions...

the use of
emergency contraception.

It's simply not
the standard of care.

There is, in fact, no law in place
in the state of Massachusetts...

that explicitly requires
Catholic hospitals to dispense...

or provide information
for emergency contraception...

under any circumstances.

And we simply can't pretend
that there is...

on the basis of sentiment...
or sympathy.

One of our many rights
in this county...

is what is called
informed consent.

Every patient has the right to decide
what happens to his or her body.

And to make that decision...

a patient needs
to rely on her doctor...

to disclose
all available options.

Do you want chemotherapy
or surgery for a brain tumor?

Do you want to amputate
below the knee...

or hope for the best
and risk death from gangrene?

Do you want
to prevent pregnancy...

or have your rapist's baby?

Amelia Warner
didn't get to choose.

She was deprived of crucial
medically relevant option...

because her doctor
did not approve obit.

She didn't choose to receive health care
restricted by religious doctrine.

She was taken to
the E. R. unconscious.

She relied on her doctor
at St. May's...

to provide herewith proper care
or refer her elsewhere...

and he failed her.

Twenty-five thousand women
will become pregnant from rape this year.

I fall of those women took
this emergency contraception...

22, OOO of those pregnancies
could be avoided.

Doctors provide a crucial
public benefit to a diverse society...

and we cannot condone it
when they impose their own religion...

on patients whom they are
professionally obligated to serve.

Especially patients in
their most vulnerable states.

A teenager, for example...

brought into an emergency room
after a brutal rape.

A teenager who is now
left to choose...

between violating her own moral principles
in terminating the pregnancy...

or postponing college
to deliver this child-

a child conceived
against her will.

A direct result of the most traumatic
ordeal she has ever endured.

- Mr. Tremont.
- Mr. Shore.

I believe our business is done
in regards to Miss Deader.

Oh, absolutely.
Water under the bridge.

I'm here on an entirely unrelated matter.

Yes? What is it, Cindy?

- There's a news crew from ABC here.
- What?

Uh, that happens to be
the unrelated matter.

- What's going on?
- Well, the thing is, it's all my fault.

I was so sure I was
going to be victorious...

and persuade you to admit Marissa
into your school-

total hubris on my part-
I went and called Darcy Evictor.

She does the human interest pieces
over at the local ABC affiliate.

We were briefly an item. Don't let
her perky on-air demeanor fool you.

She's actually quite deviant
in the bedroom. Anaya...

I figured this was exactly the kind
of toy that Darcy likes to-

and this is the part that gets me excited-
sink her teeth into.

You know, the little artist that can't smile
and the supportive school that loves her.

I always like showing off
in front of an ex-girlfriend.

But, wouldn�t you know it,
I got excited and jumped the gun.

I'll let you get back to work.
I'm going to go out and let her know...

that I was wrong, you were right,
and the school prevailed in its determination...

to discriminate against this
little girl and her disability.

Oh! Do you happen to have
any of Marissa's drawings still?

Darcy was dying
to show them on air.

Hey, this may be a way
to salvage the story actually.

You know, the little girl
who can't smile...

her dreams shattered by the exclusionary
will of the inbred elite.

Something like that.
Oh, wait.

I have some.

Darcy!

Lester!

Doggie massage, pet Prozac,
kitty yoga, "bark" mitzvahs...

pet plastic surgery,
and now life support?

What is wrong with us?
Have we lost all perspective?

There are now as many
starving people in this world...

as there were people
in this world a generation ago.

And yet, eve year,
in this county...

we spend over
30 billion dollars on our pets.

Your Honor, you had this right
from the beginning.

This is ludicrous. This is
a property issue just as you noted.

And as hard as it is
to let Barry Mani low go...

it's time to stop
prolonging the inevitable.

Your Honor, I have to admit
when I first took this case...

I thought it was
just as silly as you do.

This couple broke up.
They managed to divvy up the car and TV.

Why couldn�t they figure out
what to do with the cat?

Because unlike our cars
and our TVs...

our pets, they transcend
mere property.

They're the property
that lives and breathes.

Property that loves us
back unconditionally...

in an increasingly harsh,
isolating world.

This is what Barry Mani low is
and always has been to Beverly Bridge.

Now, Barry Mani low didn't care
how much makeup Beverly wore...

or whether her outfits were just a little
bit too tight for someone her age.

He never ostracized her
when she got divorced, never demanded...

she get job, never asked her
how she spent her money...

never came home smelling
like another woman...

and he never made
Beverly his trophy.

Barry Mani low was simply
there for Beverly.

In fact, Barry Mani low treated Beverly
better than most other husbands did.

Now, he may be very ill now...

but there's a slight chance
that he can recover.

We need to hold onto
that chance.

Because who among us here
has the power to say...

that the spark oaf soul...

is any less significant because it resides
in the body of pet?

I do. It's a cat.

And the costs
of keeping this cat...

on a ventilator indefinitely
are exorbitant...

especially coupled with
the pain this cat must be in...

and its remote chance
of recovery.

Miss Bridge, I am sorry
for your loss...

but I must hereby order that
Barry Mani low�s ventilator be shut off.

That damn cat isn't going to die.

Fine. You can have him.

- Has the jury reached a verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.

What say you?

We, the jury, find in favor
of the plaintiff...

and hereby award
compensatory damages...

in the amount of$1 OO, OOO.

Additionally,
we award punitive damages...

in the amount
of2.6 million dollars.

The court thanks the jury for its service.

We're adjourned.

- Thank you.
- Congratulations.

- Thank you so much.
- Amelia, you are a courageous human being.

I don't feel like it,
but thank you.

You look good in blue, Marissa.

I drew this for you.

Oh, my goodness.

It looks like they're
going to have quite a day.

You know, Marissa,
not smiling has its benefits.

You don't give away
your thoughts so easily.

It's a great advantage
in card playing.

That's funny, but...
I'd rather fit in.

Have you ever heard of Greek
philosopher named Epictetus?

- No.
- Hews a funny man...

with a certain flair for life.

Epictetus compared
people who fit in...

to the white threads
oaf toga.

Indistinguishable.
He wanted to be the purple thread-

that small part
which is bright...

and makes all the rest
appear graceful and beautiful.

"Why then;' he asked, "do you tell me
to make myself like the many?

And if do,
how shall I still be purple?"

Sometimes being purple
is kind of pain.

Yes.

- Bev.
- Hello, Brad.

Barry�s feeling better.

Well, he doesn't,
you know, walk...

or move or anything,
but he's breathing on his own.

I didn't exactly win the case.

But all's well
that ends well.

- So we're square.
- I'll tell you when we're square, Brad.

So?

I just spoke with her mother.

She's having an abortion...
while it's still legal.

The girl said she would
never even consider it.

Well, what's the alternative?

Having custody battles
with your rapist?

- Sorry. That was really tasteless.
- It's all tasteless.

The more science
comes up with alternatives...

to the mosey of abortion,
the louder the opposition.

Because it's about power.
It's always been about power.

- These guys have any friends?
- Not for long.

Alan, I've been thinking
about something.

- What's that?
- I want you to kill me.

The scotch and cigars and nightly consumption
of red meat have that well in hand.

No, no, no. I'm serious.
I don't fear death.

I never have. But I am afraid
of being hooked up to a machine.

J All those tubes brain... mush.

- Would you like to live like that?
- No.

If it came to that, my friend,
I would pull your plug.

Pull a plug?
What kind of death is that?

- I want you to shoot me.
- Shoot you?

Denny Crane is not going to be
turned off like a hair dryer.

Live by the gun,
you die by the gun.

- I'm not going to shoot you.
- Why not? I'd shoot you.

Denny, you've been a lawyer
in this town for 40 years.

I'm sure there are plenty of people
who'd willingly shoot you.

I don't want to be
shot by a stranger.

I want to be shot by someone
who-who cares for me.

The answer is no.

You... Democrat!
Protesting wars, banning guns!

If you Nancy�s had your way,
nobody would ever shoot anybody.

- And then where would we be?
- Where would we be?

You stinker!
