Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,918 --> 00:00:07,173
This firm is actually becoming known
for its work in sexual harassment law.
2
00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:11,886
But are you prepared for the kind of
attention that may come with this case?
3
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,847
First of all,
it would be inappropriate for me…
4
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:16,599
to comment on this proceeding or any case
currently pending.
5
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,643
Could you move in a little tighter?
But as for the laws…
6
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:20,937
on sexual harassment
in general, stupid.
7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:24,107
They're dumb. And if you happen to be
a juror sitting on this case,
8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,109
here's your opportunity to say so.
9
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:28,194
Don't you give in to the stupidity.
10
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:30,196
Step in and rule for our client.
11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,198
Send a message that these laws have
gone too far--
12
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:35,160
You can't have direct or indirect contact
with the jury.
13
00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:37,203
-Did you forget about that little rule?
-As if I care.
14
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:38,121
Richard.
15
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:40,040
Nelle, there's a lot of money
at stake here, is there not?
16
00:00:40,123 --> 00:00:40,957
Yes.
17
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:42,292
Well, here's a little something
about me you need to know.
18
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:45,253
When the stakes are high enough,
I will always speak my conscience.
19
00:00:45,336 --> 00:00:47,964
-We better get going, Nelle.
-John, are you ready?
20
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,220
-I am.
-Ah.
21
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:55,263
[Woman] Mr. Cage,what will you be arguing?
22
00:00:55,346 --> 00:00:56,765
We have no comment. Let's go.
23
00:00:56,848 --> 00:00:58,933
-Mr. Cage?-You got anything to say?
24
00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:01,436
-Just give us a statement.-How about another comment, sir?
25
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:03,354
Myra's meeting us
down there. You set?
26
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:05,815
Set.
We should win this.
27
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:13,031
Greg, what--
what are you--
28
00:01:13,114 --> 00:01:15,158
I decided to stretch Valentine's
into two days this year.
29
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:19,204
Oh.
Well, I--
30
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:29,047
[Chuckles]
31
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:32,967
Oh, th-these are so beautiful. I--
32
00:01:33,051 --> 00:01:35,095
I--Aw.
33
00:01:35,178 --> 00:01:38,973
-Two-day Valentine's.
-Yes. Precious.
34
00:01:39,057 --> 00:01:41,267
I'll-I'll be right with you.
35
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,731
-What's with the news crew?
-John and Nelle have a very big case.
36
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:50,735
Sexual harassment, firm niche.
These are so gorgeous.
37
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:54,030
Yeah, well, so are you.
38
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,449
I could really get used to this.
39
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,369

{\an8}-It's not that you wouldn't be an asset.
-Then what is it?
56
00:03:31,252 --> 00:03:34,422
{\an8}Well, I'm just not really looking
to take on another body right now.
57
00:03:34,505 --> 00:03:36,424
{\an8}But if I were, it would be yours,
trust me.
58
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,301
{\an8}-I'd welcome you with an outstretched--
-Richard.
59
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:41,512
{\an8}I really enjoyed being
a lawyer last week again,
60
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:44,349
{\an8}and the people here,
I just get along with them so well.
61
00:03:44,432 --> 00:03:46,601
{\an8}It seems organic.
62
00:03:46,684 --> 00:03:48,853
{\an8}Organic--you and the people here.
63
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:52,482
{\an8}Yes. I see that.
64
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,359
{\an8}It would mean a lot of
money for the firm.
65
00:03:54,442 --> 00:03:58,738
{\an8}And it sure would be nice…
66
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:03,326
{\an8}not to have to invent reasons every day…
67
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:05,954
just to come by and see you.
68
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:08,373
It would be nice if, just on a whim,
69
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:12,961
I felt like sucking on your finger,
and you were just an office away.
70
00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:18,967
-Ling.
-It sure would be great if during the day,
71
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:21,886
instead of having to close my eyes
to see you--
72
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:25,765
-Yeah?
-I could just keep them open.
73
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:48,705
{\an8}Well, I don't think any of us imaginedthis much heat for what, uh--
74
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:52,041
{\an8}well, I'm sure we can all agree is
a pretty ridiculous matter.
75
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,837
{\an8}You say that with a twinkle.
This isn't funny to our clients.
76
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,173
{\an8}They lost their jobs.
We're upping our offer to 125 apiece.
77
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:01,676
{\an8}-Not enough.
-Well, the last time I checked,
78
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,554
{\an8}the lawyer had an absolute obligation to
take an offer to a client
79
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:06,180
{\an8}before rejecting it.
80
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:08,641
{\an8}I know their wishes, but thank you.
81
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:11,519
{\an8}They'll be pleased to know you're looking
out for them.
82
00:05:11,602 --> 00:05:14,897
{\an8}Ms. Porter, um, how many attorneys
do you see in this room?
83
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:18,609
{\an8}There's a reason Cobb Company
has hired an army.
84
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:20,945
{\an8}They're willing to spend whatever it takes
to squash this.
85
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:24,699
{\an8}Fine. Tell them to spend two million,
and we settle.
86
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:27,201
{\an8}Could I share a thought
off the record?
87
00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:28,411
{\an8}Please.
88
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:31,247
{\an8}Two young lawyers,
reporters asking you questions.
89
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:33,124
{\an8}Your profile's never been higher.
90
00:05:33,207 --> 00:05:36,461
{\an8}Settle out, the luster lives.
91
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:39,881
{\an8}Get embarrassed in the course of a trial,your stock plunges.
92
00:05:39,964 --> 00:05:43,885
{\an8}Mr. Jamison, reciprocity would perhaps
allow me to share a thought…
93
00:05:43,968 --> 00:05:45,803
{\an8}in that same spirit of giving.
94
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:48,222
{\an8}Certainly. If we lose,
95
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:51,434
{\an8}one could say, well,
we were outmanned.
96
00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:54,771
{\an8}Fortune 500 company, seven lawyers…
97
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:57,774
{\an8}arguing the politically
correct merits du jour,
98
00:05:57,857 --> 00:05:59,984
{\an8}the odds are certainly in your favor.
99
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:03,071
{\an8}A loss would hardly be a blemish to me.
100
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:06,074
{\an8}But if you lose, well, imagine.
101
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:08,493
And here's an inside tipwhich I share with you…
102
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:10,912
only because I too care.
103
00:06:10,995 --> 00:06:14,832
You will lose.
Ms. Porter and I will beat you.
104
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,418
And look at my face
as I tell you this,
105
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:20,380
because I promise,
when the jury reads that verdict,
106
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:23,007
I will be looking at all of yours.
107
00:06:30,139 --> 00:06:31,933
Well, I guess we have a fight.
108
00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:36,104
The will is valid.It says what it says.
109
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:40,400
Life estate to Myra Jacobs, so long as
she doesn't remarry. She remarried.
110
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:43,111
And that restriction
is against public policy.
111
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:45,696
The intent of the testator here was not toprevent her getting married again
112
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:46,531
so much as--
113
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:49,909
The law favors freedom to marry.
It favors family--
114
00:06:49,992 --> 00:06:52,578
Ms. McBeal,I must say I agree with Mr. Cerrano.
115
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:55,790
Restrictions against remarriagearen't automatically invalid.
116
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:59,043
We only strike them down if the intentis punitive.
117
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:01,963
Do you have any evidence that the decedent
was trying to punish your client?
118
00:07:02,046 --> 00:07:04,048
-No.
-Then where's your case?
119
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,844
Your Honor, I--
120
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:12,306
The restriction is de facto punitive.
121
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:14,600
I don't care de facto. I see no motive.
122
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,477
The trust stands, valid as written.
123
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:20,982
I was in marketing.
Callie worked in the controller's office.
124
00:07:21,065 --> 00:07:23,443
-You met on the job?
-We did.
125
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:25,945
-And you began to date?
-That's right.
126
00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:26,863
For how long?
127
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,449
We'd been together for
about three and a half months…
128
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:31,659
when Mr. Forsley called usboth into his office.
129
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:34,495
-Mr. Forsley is--
-Uh, that man right over there.
130
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,874
He's one of the vice presidents inPersonnel.
131
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:40,835
And he called you to his office because--
132
00:07:40,918 --> 00:07:42,962
He'd heard that Callie and I were seeing
each other.
133
00:07:43,045 --> 00:07:44,881
He confronted usabout the relationship.
134
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,468
We admitted it,
upon which he discharged us.
135
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:53,764
Cobb Company has a strict policy regardinginteroffice dating, does it not?
136
00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:55,475
Yes, which is ludicrous.
137
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:59,896
And could you give us
your understanding of this, uh,
138
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:02,064
ludicrous policy?
139
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,859
It's called "date and tell."
If you're having a relationship,
140
00:08:04,942 --> 00:08:06,736
you're supposed to disclose it.
141
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:10,072
-It's that simple?
-No. It gets even more absurd.
142
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:12,825
Once you disclose it,you're required to sign
143
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:14,994
what basically amountsto a "love contract."
144
00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:17,705
And do you have an understanding
of the purpose of this contract?
145
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:22,376
The purpose is to insulate the companyagainst any sexual harassment claims…
146
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:25,213
that could possibly arise out of
that relationship.
147
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:28,216
I couldn't have said it better.
148
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:29,884
So you knew and understood the dating
149
00:08:29,967 --> 00:08:31,802
policy at Cobb Company,
didn't you, Mr. Cloves?
150
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:33,137
Yes.
151
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,556
But when you and Callie Horne
began to date,
152
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,725
you, nevertheless,chose not to disclose it.
153
00:08:37,808 --> 00:08:40,937
-The reason I chose--
-I didn't ask you for a reason, sir.
154
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,730
My question was this:
155
00:08:42,813 --> 00:08:45,399
When you chose not to reveal
your relationship with Callie Horne,
156
00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:50,071
you knew you were violating office sexual
harassment policy, didn't you?
157
00:08:50,154 --> 00:08:53,241
-Yes.
-Thank you, sir.
158
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:59,288
Well, why not just tell
and sign this love contract?
159
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:01,541
I found it demeaning.
160
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:03,918
It's a violation of individual privacy.
161
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:06,420
Did you attempt to conceal
your relationship with Ms. Horne?
162
00:09:06,504 --> 00:09:09,131
No. We certainly didn't flaunt it.
163
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,217
But we never tried to hide it.
164
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,719
Could you describe
your feelings for Ms. Horne?
165
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:15,096
I love her.

down and planned my leaving.
501
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:09,789
That's when it hit me like a bomb.
502
00:29:09,873 --> 00:29:13,793
The idea of not
seeing you every day--
503
00:29:13,877 --> 00:29:19,132
I then thought,
I'll get help,
504
00:29:19,215 --> 00:29:21,885
go for therapy or something.
505
00:29:21,968 --> 00:29:25,013
But what am I trying to cure myself of?
506
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:27,056
The best thing
I've ever known?
507
00:29:31,478 --> 00:29:35,190
Billy, you're married.
And even if you weren't,
508
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:37,859
I'm with somebody else
right now.
509
00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:40,320
I'm not trying to
talk you into anything.
510
00:29:40,403 --> 00:29:43,990
I, uh, I just offer
all of this…
511
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:47,535
by way of explanation…
512
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:52,165
of how I could say what I said to you…
513
00:29:52,248 --> 00:29:57,420
and do what I've done
to Georgia by saying it.
514
00:29:59,088 --> 00:30:01,007
Georgia.
515
00:30:01,090 --> 00:30:04,260
That's a very good word for us to keep
saying over and over.
516
00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:07,013
Georgia.
517
00:30:07,096 --> 00:30:09,015
Plus, you're with somebody.
518
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:13,228
Yeah.
Plus that.
519
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:18,775
[John]It's silly.
520
00:30:18,858 --> 00:30:21,986
Two consenting adults
not allowed to date…
521
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:25,365
without first signing a love contract?
522
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:29,869
See my cocounsel over there?She and I dated.
523
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:33,957
Things didn't work out, and now, after,we still have to work side by side.
524
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,377
And, yes,
it can get awkward.
525
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:42,090
But imagine, had I not dated her,
I'd have missed out…
526
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:45,969
on that little flutter I felt in my
stomach when I held her hand.
527
00:30:46,052 --> 00:30:51,516
I may have tried to repress the high I gotat the first hint of flirtation.
528
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:53,768
The euphoria when I kissed her.The pang of,
529
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:58,398
well, pain when it became clear it wasn't
meant to be.
530
00:30:58,481 --> 00:31:02,151
You know, these are just--These are lifemoments that happen.
531
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:05,238
They happen when people interact,
and it's wonderful.
532
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:10,243
Imagine. Three quarters of every wakinghour is spent at the workplace,
533
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:15,415
and their policies are trying to legislate
against smiling,
534
00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:19,586
hugging, complimenting somebody on
their attire.
535
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:23,089
They're trying to ban the possibility offinding love there?
536
00:31:23,172 --> 00:31:25,091
Have we all gone mad?
537
00:31:25,174 --> 00:31:28,261
Do you know how hard it is to find
love, period?
538
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:30,096
You take away the workplace,that leaves,
539
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:34,100
well, let's say,bars, parties, the gym,
540
00:31:34,183 --> 00:31:37,228
all these other artificial venues where
people only reveal…
541
00:31:37,312 --> 00:31:39,439
the piña colada sides of themselves.
542
00:31:39,522 --> 00:31:41,816
You take away meeting somebody at work,
543
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,694
they'll have you believe,
well, hey, that's the law.
544
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:47,989
But the law doesn't say that,
ladies and gentlemen,
545
00:31:48,072 --> 00:31:51,034
despite what these one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven men claim.
546
00:31:51,117 --> 00:31:54,871
The law does not say you can't or
shouldn't date people at work.
547
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:59,500
The law merely requiresthat people behave like adults.
548
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,502
Now, their policies assume you can't.
549
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:03,963
They're all aboutavoiding liability.
550
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:09,010
And I'll tell you, that's sad whena policy outlaws mistletoe.
551
00:32:09,093 --> 00:32:11,012
When it says, "Dress down." When it says,
552
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:13,932
"Well, don't say anything you'd be afraid
to say in a deposition."
553
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:16,809
Now, what's going on here?
554
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:21,648
When I dated my cocounsel,
I'd walk over to her sometimes.
555
00:32:21,731 --> 00:32:24,651
I'd pretend I was Barry White.
556
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:29,322
I-I'd maybe movemy hips a little.
557
00:32:29,405 --> 00:32:32,533
[Barry White] We got it together,didn't we?
558
00:32:35,912 --> 00:32:41,668
I risked getting rejected, laughed at,
and it was everything!
559
00:32:41,751 --> 00:32:43,711
Now, of course,
there's oppression sometimes.
560
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:46,381
There's real harassment,
and there's real victims.
561
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:49,342
And when it happens,
the guilty should be held accountable.
562
00:32:49,425 --> 00:32:51,302
But to ban the flirt…
563
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:53,513
and the smile
and the date…
564
00:32:53,596 --> 00:32:55,139
and the possibility of discovering
565
00:32:55,223 --> 00:32:57,475
somebody to spend the rest of
your life with--
566
00:32:57,558 --> 00:32:59,686
Say it with me.
567
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:02,855
-[All] Silly.
-Mr. Cage, I'm not amused.
568
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:07,402
Well, I apologize. But those people workedhard for that company,
569
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:10,947
and they were fired for wanting to keeptheir private lives private.
570
00:33:11,030 --> 00:33:13,074
They lost everything.
571
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:17,370
No. None of us should be amused.
572
00:33:17,453 --> 00:33:21,040
It would be niceif we could trust adults…
573
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:23,835
at the workplace to behave like adults.
574
00:33:23,918 --> 00:33:27,255
And if we could,
we wouldn't have these laws.
575
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:30,508
Just like it would be good
if we could trust all people
576
00:33:30,591 --> 00:33:33,052
to drive safely on the road.
577
00:33:33,136 --> 00:33:36,222
I mean, their lives are at stake.
You'd think they would.
578
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:40,601
But they don't. So we start making rules.
We put up stop signs.
579
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:43,396
And even when there's not
another car for miles,
580
00:33:43,479 --> 00:33:48,067
when you come to a stop sign,you have to stop.
581
00:33:48,151 --> 00:33:51,237
How silly is that? But in a larger scheme,
582
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,448
lives are saved by these rules.
583
00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:58,077
The same principles are at work withsexual harassment policies.
584
00:33:58,161 --> 00:34:03,458
Since it is so very difficult to know
where the lines are being crossed,
585
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,460
we draw bigger and bolder lines…
586
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:08,796
way inside the boundaries of what wouldappear to be common sense.
587
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,341
No doubt,
these rules seem crazy.
588
00:34:12,425 --> 00:34:14,677
But when you'reone of those companies…
589
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:18,806
that are paying millions and millions of
dollars in judgments,
590
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:22,060
suddenly,
they do make sense.
591
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:25,104
And if you don't like it,
don't work there.
592
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:26,939
Go somewhere else.
593
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:30,443
The plaintiffs chose to workat Cobb Company…
594
00:34:30,526 --> 00:34:33,446
with full knowledge of the rules.
595
00:34:33,529 --> 00:34:36,449
-They just broke them.
-Your Honor, I'm terribly sorry.
596
00:34:36,532 --> 00:34:39,952
I forgot to mention in my closing that if
a rule is capricious in nature,
597
00:34:40,036 --> 00:34:41,996
one shouldn't be expected to follow it.
598
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,332
Yeah, I meant to say that,
and I just--I forgot.
599
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,918
Thank you, counsel.
600
00:34:49,128 --> 00:34:53,883
And… if one thought
a rule to be capricious,
601
00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:57,845
his course of action could be either not
to work there,
602
00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,639
or try to effect change.
603
00:35:01,182 --> 00:35:03,226
They did neither.
They just flat-out…
604
00:35:03,309 --> 00:35:05,520
violated the policy and got caught.
605
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:08,064
And now they'reasking you to assume…
606
00:35:08,147 --> 00:35:10,983
that adults will behave
like adults.
