Previously on Boston Legal....

Aren't women just the best?

You've been through wives
before, denny, five of them.

Bella? Beverly bridge.

Bethany.
Clovis.

She's the one. She's the one.

After five or six wis, you
still believe in the one?

denny, you're glowing.
She's an amazing woman, alan.

Mad cow. Mad cow. Mad cow.

Like I'm remember it. Mad
cow. Mad cow.

love is an ugly busine,
my friend, ugly business.

Ugly business.

It's 10:00.

Are we not on? It's supposed to be
tuesday at 10:00 every week.

We've been moved.
We're wednesday at 10:00.

Nobody called me. They told
howie in word processing.

They called howie
in word processing?

Are we wednesdays at 10:00 from now on? No,
we're off next week,

then on for the following two
wednesdays. What about next year?

best to just keep
checking in with howie.

Excuse me.
Are you denny crane?

Denny crane. What can I do for
you?

Let me rephrase.
What can we do for each other?

I'm sunny fields
of funny fields farms.

I'm in love.
You're cute.

That, too.
You eat meat, Mr. Crane?

My place or yours?
I'm a cattle rancher.

The f.d.a. Is about to
sign off on cloned meat.

Once they do, the flood gates
are gonna open.

I need a lawyer to
stop that flood.

are you that lawyer,
denny crane?

There's never been a dam or a
damsel I couldn't plug.

marry me.

Boston Legal 418

i'm confused.

Are you cloning the meat?

no, no, sweetheart. No,

the biotech companies are
cloning the meat.

i'm the one that's trying
to stop it.

I believe that procreation

should happen the old-fashioned way.
When can we get started?

How far are we

away from cloned animals
actuallybeing a reality?

Oh, hell, honey.
They're already here.

They have hundreds of pigs,
and some of their piglets

have already made it into
the food supply, by the way,

and now they're trying
to use beef.

My question is,

who put the mad cows in charge
of the asylum? Hey, hey, be nice.

They have a moratorium on
using cloned animals,

which is about to be lifted.

That's why I would like to move fast.
Denny, you don't need me on this.

carl, carl.

Carl, uh, I need
a heavy hitter.

I thought you were a heavy hitter.
I am, but I'd like to do my hitting on her.

I'm in love with her.

Look, carl, this is a great
opportunity for you

to be a consumer advocate here,
which the country eds

because nader is, uh, running for president
again,

and, uh, well, I'd ask alan,
but he's busy.

Please.

I'm just gonna say this,
uh, and let me preface it

by admitting I know this
is a crazy notion. Okay.

I want to sue my nephew. Okay, what's
he done?

it's not what he's done so much
as what he's planning to do.

And what does he plan to do?

Vote for obama.

I could be wrong, but I believe
he has that right

unless there's some fine print
in the patriot act--

Alan, he is a delegate.

He plans to vote for obama
at the convention

even though his congressional
district voted for clinton,

as did massachusetts.
Well, can he do that?

Well, yes. That's the dirty little secret

no one's talking about.

even the pledged delegates
can ignore their constituencies.

Uh, it's unethical
in my opinion,

and if the rules allow for that,

then the rules
have to be challenged.

And by "challenged" you mean the little-used act
of anarchy

known as suing the nephew.

Alan, this nomination
could very well

come down
to a handful of delegates.

Poached delegates, I might
add.

every vote counts,
including my nephew's.

sue.

I'm really quite shocked,
aunt shirley.

I've been taken
completely unaware.

how can you sue me?
Mitchell--

Mitchy.

M- mitchy...

You don't think it's wrong that your
entireistrict mitchy,

voted for hillary--
42%.

it's funny how a plurality can morph
into an entirety.

must be that clinton math.

I think your aunt's
point, uh, mitchy,

is that hillary
won your district

as well as the entire state of massachusetts.

You have a duty to represent

your constituency at
the convention, do you not?

Well, I'm not duty bound, mr.
Shore.

Delegates are more like
duty urged.

Mitchy,

you're 22 years old

with less voting experience
than--

I'll say this for her,
she is a bulldog.

Excuse me for a second.

Probably calling to say
she found her voice again.

You have got to be able
to stop him.

I don't see how.

as he says, he's within party
rules.

I can't bear it. Well,
there's only two other options.

You could stuff him in a barrel
and send him out to sea.

or?

You could sue the democratic
party.

you can't sue food or drugs.

how can anybody sue food or drugs?

we're suing the food
and drug administration,

your honor-- the f.d.a.
What the hell is that?

That would be the agency
in charge of your meds, judge.

And, in fact, I would suspect somebody
very much like yourself

or denny is in charge
of that department.

Objection.

Mr. Sack, flattery has no place
in this...

That would be a courtroom,
your honor.

your honor, this should be
in federal court.

they are suing a federal
agency. Jurisdiction--

oh, next he's gonna play the
sovereign immunity card.

It's a dodge. Stop with the
jibber-jabber.

jibber-jabber has no place in my
courtroom.

do you understand,
mr. Sack?

Yes, your honor, jibber-jabber
and flattery.

may I call a witness to
lay out my case?

silence. I will decide
how to proceed.

I am the decider.

Call a witness.

Thank you, your honor.

I call sunny fields.

How we doin' today, judge?

Well, aren't you adorable
up close?

The motion is filed.
We're in at 2:00.

We're actually suing
the d.n.c.?

Yes. I also subpoenaed mitchy.
We'll need him as a witness.

You realize the media
will pounce on this.

I've practiced law
for 38 years,

and never once
have I done something stupid.

Well, now you're being
hard on yourself.

I've seen you be stupid
many times.

I sit here in my...
Tastefully decorated office

and watch you go about
tilting at windmills,

many times beating the
windmill.

well, it's my turn.

It's my turn to stand up

and... Make a complete idiot of myself

and do... Something

that leaves this nation
a slightly better place.

That, and a chance to paste
your annoying nephew.

Yeah.

I can't pass that up.

It's settled then.

Wee off to sue
the democrats.

I know the science, darling.

I also know
that most of the scientists

who did the testing were hired
by the cloning companies.

The science on this
is in the bag.

A lot of people have no problem eating
cloned meat.

well, most people
aren't even gonna know.

That's the worst part.
The f.d.a. Doesn't even require

that the cloned stuff
be labeled.

I don't think
i'd want to know.

Uh, have you any evidence
that cloned meat is unsafe?

No. Well, it's too early to tell either
way,

but if it's not natural...

Would you eat it?

All the f.d.a. Studies
have concluded that it's safe.

Honey, the f.d.a. Said
that vioxx was safe.

isn't the real issue here
that you're a cattle rancher,

and you don't want the competition?
No, I'm more concerned about
animal abuse, darling.

animal abuse?

Yes. The surrogate mothers
are pumped up

with high levels of hormones.

The clones are often born
with compromised immune systems,

which require massive doses
of antibiotics,

which, by the way,

opens up the door for the veterinary
pharmaceuticals

to enter into
the human food supply.

There is no evidence that cloned
meat poses any health risk.

Darling, cloning increases
risk of foodborne illness.

Even the national academy
of sciences says so.

Once you take nature
out of the process,

which cloning does,

it destroys the natural barriers
against disease.

now that poses a health problem
for cows and people...

Like you and me.

mr. Shore, wolfgang blitzkreig

with the best political
news team in television.

I have no comment yet. Ms. Schmidt,

with the best political news team in
television.

could I get you to talk just for a
second

with the best political news
team in television? Go away.

This has bee wolfgang blitzkreig

with the best political news team in
television.

you only got it here.

this is... Outrageous.

We had a feeling you'd
say that, judge.

but we actually do have a case. No, you
do not.

the democratic party
is a private organization.

We make what rules we want. Not when
it violates one man, one vote.

what is it you're asking me to
do? We'd like a court order, judge,

that says that pledged delegates
have to vote for the candidate

they're pledged to, certainly on the first
ballot. You want me to tell the democrats

how to run their own party? Somebody's
got to.

give me one good reason

why I shouldn't dismiss this
right now.

okay. Uh, you're a fair and open-minded jurist--

Give me another reason.

Okay.

As long as there are only
two political parties,

the public only has two choices for president.

One of them is being picked by delegates like
mitchy weston,

that toddler over there,

whose vote is worth 13,000 times
the vote of you and me.

you're talking about a process that's been in
effect-- I know what process I'm talking about.

And it's about time
it be exposed

for the fraud that it is.
Fraud?

Yes, fraud. If the primaries
really don't count,

then they are just a sham.

They count, they're just not binding,
snidey-butt.

I want it on the record

that I've just been called
"snidey-butt"

by a person whose vote is worth
13,000 times more than mine

and yours and your honor's.

That's enough.

We'll adjourn
until 9:00 tomorrow morning.

I'll conduct a full evidentiary hearing.

Okay, shirley, you're up.

Ms. Schmidt,
wolfgang

with the best political news
team in television.

We really are the best, by
the way.

can you tell me, has this case
been politicized?

oh, you were brilliant.

Honey, I'm always brilliant.

I don't just jump into bed
with any woman, you know?

Actually, I do.

But this time it's different.

I think
we should be together.

You're sweet.

No, I mean it.

I'm falling in love
with you.

Honey, I think
you're cute a button.

But I tend to treat men
like horses--

I ride 'em hard and then I turn
'em out. I'm okay with that.

Truth is,

my... Tawdry affairs tend to
last longer

than
my committed relationships.

But... This is different.

I feel a...

A real connection.

Denny crane,
i'm a cattle rancher.

You think a big
city slicker like yourself

would be happy
living on a farm?

I love horses.

I love cows.

I love sheep.

Especially sheep.

I'm an all-or-nothing
kind of girl.

If you're with me...

You gotta be on a farm.

I'm there.

You're out of your mind.

Oh, this woman, alan...

She's the one. I know it. In just one
day?

in ten minutes.
Oh, come on.

It was like a movie.
A glance here, a look there.

Has that
ever happened to you?

no.

She's a goddess, alan.

You really are...
Smitten.

So is she.

I could see it in her eyes.

did you know that I'm
as cute as a button?

Denny... I say this
with love

and the spirit of friendship.

the idea of you on a ranch...

What?

Well, you're a little--

A little what?

Roly-poly.

In a good way.
I'm a rugged man.

yes, and cute as a button.

Ah, dear.

With the best political
news team ever assembled...

In the history--

the rules may technically
allow

the pledged delegates to ignore the mandate
of the popular vote,

but that's certainly not what
the democratic party advertises.

People go to the primary polls
under the assumption--

An assumption cultivated
by the d.n.c.

that whatever candidate
wins that primary,

he or she will get the delegates.

let's put our cards
on the table, ms. Schmidt.

You're for hillary.
I am.

And you want your nephew to
vote for hillary.

I want the delegates,

especially the pledged
delegates,

to give the primary some
meaning.

it should probably also be said,
we're in a time of war.

what do you mean?

Well, the country
needs stability.

It needs to count on
its bedrocks,

its established traditions.

For 20 years now, we've only had
2 families in the white house.

Just the t-- first a bush
then a clinton,

then, uh, clinton again,

then another bush,
then that bush again.

It's time
for another clinton.

We simply cannot afford
to experiment

in such uncertain times.

What the hell was that about?

What?

You totally politicized
this.

you practically stumped
for obama.

I did no such thing.

I just happen to be
a big fan of dynasties...

And monarchies.
Oh, I love monarchies.

This is not to be turned
into your political forum, alan.

Look, shirley,

as a friend, one who can hold
you on the bad days

and spoon you on the good ones?

this is a good thing for you,
what's going on here. How so?

well, you want hillary, right?

consider hillary's behind
in the count.

she can't possibly be
the nominee

unless she poaches some of
obama's pledged delegates.

And if delegates are bound to the mandate of
the voters,

that may be good
for democracy,

but it would be very bad for
hillary.

so you need to just chill
out, relax.

if anybody's gonna hijack this thing,

it's gonna be the clintons, so just chill. If you
even think of using this case to plug obama--

you're using it to promote hillary.
I am promoting the process.

a process that can only spit
out clintons or bushes.

Who have experience. Oharen't you sick
of experience?

the only reason your guy is
senator is because the incumbent

was caught in a sex scandal.
Oh, please. She was a first lady.

She didn't-- oh, now you're gonna play the sex
scandal card? She was not just a first lady.

doesn't the script call for you just to keep
repeating... She is a senator, a committed lawyer.

"reverend wright, reverend wright"?
She spent years--

except when she's finding her own voice,
which is crybaby. Turns pretty phrases a dama.

And say "yes, we can"... Shirley, I'm telling
you, if she gets the nomination...

and-- and applaud for himself when he's introduced?
I'd sooner vote for the dead guy from arizona.

Not to mention, he looks like a girl.
On top of that, she looks like a man...

Listen to us.

We've sunk to the level of--

Presidential candidates.

Don't try anything.

You can ride, denny crane.

yes, I can.
I'm an old farm boy.

I can see that.

Can we stop?

I'd like to checout
the scenery.

That, and my balls hurt.

Mm. It's beautiful,
isn't it?

Oh, yeah.

If this cloning thing
becomes a reality,

i'm gonna be outta business.

Let me ask you a question.

You got, uh, what, a thousand
head of cattle here?

What's your control, really?

I mean, how do you safeguard
against,

the mad cow
or any other disease?

It's not like you can vet every
animal.

well, if I had a mad cow, I
wouldn't need a vet to tell me.

my daddy said that the other
cows take care of that.

They shun the afflicted
animal.

well, even so, uh, can't you
make beef more pure

using high-tech methods,
like cloning?

No, if I believed that,
I wouldn't be fighting this.

I really wouldn't.

I mean it.

What?

I've never mentally undressed
a woman in chaps before.

Come on over and meet the
livestock, denny crane.

and I don't want you flirting with
any of 'em.

hello, my darlings.

This is your lawyer.
He's a sweetie pie.

Well, that wasn't
very good manners, was it?

It's as if you had mad cow,
denny crane.

don't be ridiculous. You can't
be diagnosed by a fellow cow.

I can. They know.

Oh, come on.
And they told sunny.

To be shunned by your peers
like that.

Will you listen to yourself?
Come on, alan.

You've seen the studies
where dogs can smell cancer.

The-- the animals, they-- they--
They-- they sense things.

the whole herd...

My condition was
obvious to them. Oh, my--

Am I that far gone? Okay, look,
you've known you have issues.

It's no big deal. It's a big
deal because I love sunny.

And she's not gonna let me
be around her livestock

if she knows I've got the, uh, the,
uh-- mad cow.

mad cow. You're taking
like a crazy person.

That's not gonna help.

Denny, I'm having a hard time
wrapping my head around

this sudden and profound love
you have.

That's because
it's never happened to you.

It's happened to me, I
tell you. You just met her.

Alan, we need to go.

Denny, we'll talk later, okay?

what's wrong? His client's
cows are on to him.

You realize, Mr. Weston,
that your congressional district

and the state of massachusetts
voted for hillary clinton?

I do realize that, yes.

Your own constituency thinks
that what you're doing is wrong.

Well, to quote the vice president

when told the american people

don't want to see more soldiers
die, "so?

he really said that.
I kid you not.

Mitchy, as a result

of the massachusetts primary
results,

you became a pledged delegate
to hillary clinton.

Yes, but according to
the d.n.c. Rules,

i'm not bound by that.
No, I am not.

Who does that remind you of?

I did not have sex--

Mitchy, w-- look, I am
entitled to vote my conscience.

That's what
i'm choosing to do.

Your conscience won't allow you to vote for mrs.
Clinton?

look, I happen to think that
she is a brilliant woman,

and brave, too.

She took all that sniper
fire for us,

she and sinbad.

Why do you feel compelled to vote
for obama?

we need a new america.

Hillary clinton is old america.

I think the time has come

for us to bridge the gaps on the
senate floor.

yes, we can.

We're not just democrats
and republicans.

We're americans. Yes, we
can.

it's time for all people
to come together--

Black, white, yellow, red.

Yes, we can. Yes, we can.
Yes, we can.

Oh, all right.

You sound like
the little engine that could.

How great that you have
an opinion.

Do you think it's fair,
though,

for you to exalt your politics over
the will of your district?

I have a dream where people
of all creeds and--

Yes, what if all the
delegates had a dream

that it should be kucinich
in july?

That would be okay, then, within the
rules?

Let me ask, how did you
even get to be a delegate?

I did
a lot of volunteer work.

I was rewarded for my efforts

and made a national
committeeman. And how old are you?

I'm 22. Mitchy, have you ever
actually spoken to hillary clinton?

Yes, she and barack both dropped
by. Dropped by your house?

yes.
Isn't democracy swell?

Objection.
Sustained.

Do you think it's possible
that your conscience

has been corrupted by-- no, I
do not!

You listen to me. I am proud member of the
democratic party.

I take my cues
from the chairman

of the democratic national committee.

And he says that I can vote
my conscience.

I will follow his lead, not
yours. That of the chairman

of the democratic
national committee? Yes.

And that would be, uh,
this guy?

And we're going to south dakota
and oregon

and washington and michigan,

and then we're going to
washington d.c.

To take back the white house!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

He is a beacon.

for the past six years,

I've tracked theafety of
cloned meat and milk.

and it's not only safe, but very likely more
safe

then products from naturally bred
livestock.

it is also of much higher quality.
How so?

Well, some cows are simply better than
others.

we clone the top breeders,
the prize winners, in fact,

which gives us
a consistently higher grade.

What's the problem with
labeling it then? Honestly?

That'd be nice.

The yuck factor.

People hate the idea
of cloning.

If we were to label cloned
food products,

we'd never be given a fair chance by the
american public.

so better to deny the
people a choice,

like you did with vioxx? Oh, god. I'm sick
of everybody throwing vioxx in our faces.

Well, yes. It's just
those vocal few

opposed to heart attacks and
strokes.

how about bextra? Oh, bextra
got bias, I admit, but--

Zelnorm, baycol, palladone, tysabri,

all those drugs

were approved by the f.d.a.
Only to be withdrawn

after they caused serious,
sometimes fatal side effects.

Which particular failure
would you prefer

having thrown in your face?
Special orders don't upset me.

he's good.

May I say something? Who are you?

Left-wingliberals
love to dump on the f.d.a.

It seems to be the new sport.

But the public knowsdamn well,

we are a thoroughly competent organization

that serves americans-- this
would be a different public

than the one polled by "the wall street journal,"

which found that 70%
of american adults

are skeptical of the f.d.a.'s ability
to protect-- we're to trust polls now?

Y- you prefer testimonials--
I would call your attention

to a "60 minutes" interview with dr.
David graham,

a senior scientist at the f.d.a.
Who blamed the f.d.a.

for allowing dangerous drugs
to stay on the market.

This case is about cloning.

which has been deemed safe
by a horrendously

and famously inept
governmental administration

which shamelessly bends
to the will

of the pharmaceutical companies.

Move to strike. If there is
nothing to hide here, why not label?

Move to strike. Silence.

I can't keep up.

The democratic party
is a private organization.

We can adopt
whateverunny rules we want.

Nobody is required to be a
member of any party.

mr. Duprey, don't feed
me that. Sr. Duprey, no me

there are only two real parties in our
country.

they've picked our presidents
for a hundred years.

And it's worked well for a
hundred years. Really? Even lately?

Oh, sit down, you.

These rules are designed

to provide a checks
and balances, if you will.

What if the public,

in some protest of sorts,
voted for a comedian?

you remember that pat paulsen
ran in 1968.

What if roseanne barr
or george carlin

or carrot top
captured the popular vote?

Could be an improvement,
certainly over-- down!

The delegates
and superdelegates,

as a matter of conscience,

have to be allowed to say,

oh, so you admit it's not
really a democracy then?

Classically speaking, no.

I mean, suppose we were in the
same situation

as the republicans, for example,
and suppose john mccain,

before the convention, succumbed
to old age or senility.

You mean he hasn't?

Should we
stick in mike huckabee

because he would be the leader
in delegates?

can you imagine?

The rules
that we have in place

are to effect a choice
from the people

to be affirmed or not by
the delegates

and superdelegates,

and it is not automatic.

Well, then what's the point of the
primaries really?

is it just a guide?

If-- if the delegates are free
to ignore the popular vote,

then does that not violate one man, one
vote?

well, it's never truly been one
man, one vote in this country.

Let's face it.

Look, I grew up in california,
my wife in wyoming.

now in my home state,

there are about 15 million
registered voters.

In my wife's, maybe 250,000.

Both states have two senators,

which means my wife had about 60 times more
voting power

than I did
in any senatorial election.

Is that fair?
I think so.

Perfect? Of course not.

Democracy isn't,

nor is the democratic nomination
process.

nobody here is denying that.

But let's remember, if it wasn't
for delegate independence--

It's possibility
of backroom deal making--

The nominee for president
in 1932

for the democratic party
would've been newton baker.

Instead, we got franklin
delano roosevelt.

my mother's, uh, friend vian,
uh, once told me,

"there are only two kinds
of people in this world, alan,

them that drink coke
and them that drink pepsi."

Vian got that notion, of course, from coke
and pepsi.

there may have been other colas,

but coke and pepsi were the giants--

Billion-dollar behemoths, who, in their own
advertising,

would each refer to the other
guy as the only alternative--

Just so long as people keep on
gulping down one or the other.

makes you kind of wonder
if they're in cahoots.

Mr. Shore, a-as much
as I enjoy

listening to you
go on and on and on,

could you get to your case?

When it comes to presidential
elections,

we again have only

two billion-dollar
giants in control.

the american people might get to
vote for commander in chief,

but they only get two choices,
your honor,

choices selected by two
very private organizations,

who are both are in bed with big oil, big
tobacco,

big pharmaceuticals, big
banking--

every big you can think of--

And as a result,
we only get the candidates

that big business
and the two parts

decide to favor us with. So where's the
democracy?

the sad fact is, it seems
that democracy has lost its way,

and as long as we remain
a two-party system,

we'll forever be denied a taste
of that delicious r.c. Cola

because coke and pepsi
have cornered the market.

No more soda pop.

Yes, let's let the democratic
national committee

make whatever rules it fancies,

never mind that delegates like mitchy

can ignore election results.
Who cares that states

like florida and michigan
are discounted?

Big deal that in iowa,

the democrats don't get to cast
secret ballots,

or that in nevada, the caucuses were on a saturday,

which meant observant jews
couldn't vote.

Hey, it's kind of fun--

This year,
the democratic nominee

might be decided by super-duper
delegates--

political insiders

who don't have to listen to the
voters at all,

insiders who, according to d.n.c.
Rules,

are allowed to and do accept money
from the candidates,

insiders who, in fact,have accepted over
a million dollars

from the clinton
and obama campaigns.

Do we have to sit here
and listen to

this wonkish analysis-- there are dire
consequences here, Mr. Duprey.

presidents get to start wars,

and kids, the innocent kind,
die in them-- lots of kids.

There are consequences,
and as long as presidents

get to start wars
and pick supreme court justices,

as long as they represent the american
people

to the world-- a world which increasingly
loathes us

because of our presidents--

We the people should get to
weigh in.

look at the choices this grand two-party system

has produced this year-- a grumpy old man

who wants to stay at war
for a hundred years

versus whomever the democrats pick,

a choice which may very well
come down to mitchy. Snidey-butt.

I'm going to sit
my snidey-butt down now

after one final thought.

Maybe it's time for us to take
a little break from iraq

and start spreading
a little more democracy at home.

So what happens now?

Well, we... Have a drink,

maybe a little sex.

although, it's only been
a day,

and I'm still
in refractory mode.

No, I mean about the case.

Oh, uh, well, uh...

Sack will give his summation
tomorrow.

it'll be boring, full of legal
stuff I never listen to.

the judge will rule, and
then we'll, uh...

marry.

You're even a good kisser.

Sunny...

You've been regarding
my flirtations as, uh...

Foreplay.

It's more than that.

When a man loves a woman,

when god didn't pick little green
apples...

whatever.

Oh, denny.

Sunny...

Well, you get the idea.

Sunny...

Sunny fields,
will you marry me?

Oh, denny. We haven't even been out on a
real date.

oh, we got plenty of time
for that.

Denny...

I love you.

I'd go to the ends
of the earth for you.

Well, you sure make it hard
to say no to,

I can tell you that.

Can I think about it
overnight?

you can.

And I'll see you tomorrow?

I promise.

Good night...

Denny crane.

I agree with Mr. Shore.

Whatever one wants to call
this nomination process,

it's anything but democratic.

Two political parties pulling
the strings...

it's like going to a fast-food
restaurant

and being told you can eat whatever
you want.

the menu is fixed.

That having been said,

being a private organization,

the d.n.c. Is free to set its own
rules.

the only real recourse
the people have, I suppose,

is to vote republican.

And everyone wonders

how we ended up
with the likes of george bush?

Motion denied.

Everybody loses.

Oh, well.

The one time I get out of
my tastefully decorated office

to tilt at windmills,
and I lose.

I'm sorry.

First of all,

I reject the idea
that cloning meat

is abusive to cows.

why?
It's meat.

The animal's already dead.

No, your honor, it's the cow
being cloned to make the meat.

Did I skip over that?

Dead meat is dead meat.

But...

Judgment in favor
of the plaintiff.

Oh, there you go.
What?

Judge, we had the same concerns over
artificial insemination

and all the perceived horrors, and nothing bad
happened.

judgment for the defendant.

What? No.
No, no, no.

Technology has not improved
the food supply.

Plaintiff's motion granted.

Wait.
You said the defendant's.

Sustained.
This guy's worse than me.

I am the decider.

Adjourned.

Who won?

I have no idea.

So you have no idea
if you won or lost? No.

I still got the girl, though.

When do I get to meet her?

Well, she's due any second.

Alan...
I popped the question.

You did what?

I love her.

You asked her to marry you?
Life is short.

No, denny,
life can be very long,

especially when you're bound
by law to the wrong woman.

You can't--
She's the right woman.

You just met her.
I have a feeling.

Yes, the same one you ha about
bev

and five other right women

who turned out to be total disasters.
Knock-knock.

can't. Still in refractory.

You must be sunny?

Oh, my sunny.

This is alan shore.
He was just leaving.

Howdy, alan.

Howdy. Well, we'll-- we'll
talk later.

I really think
we should talk--

No, no, no, later.

Have we figured out whether
we won our case yet?

Not yet.

So... Did I win the girl?

Denny,
were you serious

when you said you'd go to
the ends of the earth for me?

I was. How about montana?

What?

I'm moving to montana in a month.

I would've told you sooner,

but things were going so
fast between us. Montana?

I bought a farm there--
6,000 acres of land.

I'm gonna move my ranch there and
really make a go of it. Montana?

So the question becomes...

Are you really that much
of a cowboy, denny crane?

What?

Well, uh...

My-- my life is here.

Well, one day you will
have to go to pasture.

Maybe now's the time.

Ride into the sunset with me,
denny crane.

See, if-- it's--
It's, um...

It's not the job.

It's someone else.

Oh. Someone else?

Uh, my best friend. You--
That was him you just met.

Are you serious?

See, um...

We meet every night

for, uh, cigars and a scotch.

It's a standing...

W- why don't you stay here?

I just bought a business.

I have to go.

If you'd rather stay and
drink scotch

and smoke cigars,

well, maybe that
tells us something.

Th-this has no bearing
on my love for you.

It's just...

Your love for him.

I can't go to montana.

Just like that, it's over?

She turned me down. What can I do?

i'm sorry, denny.

No, you're not. You're relieved.

Well, that, too, but...

If you truly loved her,
then I am sorry.

Denny... denny.

There's no need
to be sorry, alan.

Love, even when it's fleeting,

even if it's for a day or two,

it's a...
It's everything.

Don't you agree?

I do.

I actually think it's why I'm
still single.

every morning,
I get to wake up

and wonder,
will this be the day?

Every night, I put my head on
my pillow and I wonder,

will I meet her tomorrow?

I imagine
what she'll look like--

Her smile, the way she
does her hair, how she laughs...

The contour of her
breasts, neck.

the promise of love can...
Be everything.

It's a magic you rarely find
in marriage,

so maybe you lucked out.

You don't believe married people

can stay in love?

I believe they can know
even more profound joys,

be it with children or...

The depth of the relationship
itself.

it can evolve into something

they can't possibly live without.

And yet...

It's something
that doesn't quite...

So resemble love,

at least
not the romance of love.

I never knew you to be
such a romantic.

My problem
is I'm too romantic.

No woman can possibly measure up the problem

to the promise of tomorrow
that love holds for me.

What about me?

Well, it's not the same.

You know one thing
I do love about you?

Tell me.

While many people embrace
the promise of tomorrow,

too few celebrate the...

Joy of now.

And nobody...

Does that like denny crane.

Well, let me
tell you something,

when you've got
polar ice caps melting

and breaking off
into big chunks,

and you got osama still hiding in a
cave

planning his next attack,

and when you got
other rogue nations

with nuclear arsenals,

not to mention some whack
job, homegrown,

who can cancel you at any
second,

and when you got...

Mad cow...

Now gets high priority.

And when you're sitting
on the balcony

on a clear night...

Sipping scotch with your best
friend...

now... Is everything.

Here's to now.

Here's to now.
