00:00:24,373 --> 00:00:29,208
ALLY: It started offperfectly. I've
been having a lot ofperfect days...
2
00:00:29,413 --> 00:00:33,122
...and this promised to be
another one. Then boom!
3
00:00:36,213 --> 00:00:39,569
-I ran into myself.
-Yourself?
4
00:00:39,813 --> 00:00:41,007
Yes.
5
00:00:41,373 --> 00:00:46,003
I didn't know it at the time,
but she had that lost look.
6
00:00:46,173 --> 00:00:49,848
Remind you of anybody?
Then, since I mowed her over. . . .
7
00:00:51,893 --> 00:00:56,728
-Is anything broken?
-No, I didn't even love him anymore.
8
00:00:58,213 --> 00:01:02,809
That should have been my first clue.
So I asked her again how she was.
9
00:01:02,973 --> 00:01:06,807
No. I'm fine.
10
00:01:06,973 --> 00:01:10,602
-I just. . . .
-What?
11
00:01:10,773 --> 00:01:14,891
I just really miss him.
12
00:01:15,053 --> 00:01:18,125
ALLY:
And then she hugged me.
13
00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:21,683
She just hugged me. Think of it.
14
00:01:21,853 --> 00:01:26,404
I almost kill a strange woman,
and then she hugs me.
15
00:01:26,573 --> 00:01:29,531
-And to make things worse, she's. . . .
-She's you?
16
00:01:29,693 --> 00:01:34,528
Yes. She tells me she
and her ex-boyfriend worked together.
17
00:01:34,693 --> 00:01:36,923
-Ring any bells?
-Ding-ding.
18
00:01:37,093 --> 00:01:42,167
And she has this case, and her firm
decided to represent the other side.
19
00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:45,803
Then she got fired
and now she's brokenhearted.
20
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:49,329
-Over losing her job?
-No, her ex-boyfriend.
21
00:01:50,853 --> 00:01:56,371
-I'm so confused.
-Well, she still really loved him.
22
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:57,932
Ding-ding.
23
00:02:00,373 --> 00:02:02,364
He'd rub my feet.
24
00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:05,889
Every part of your body
is represented by a specific point.
25
00:02:06,053 --> 00:02:07,611
-Did you know that?
-I read.
26
00:02:07,773 --> 00:02:12,005
Well, he'd take his little finger and
tickle my uterus. Isn't that cute?
27
00:02:12,253 --> 00:02:13,049
(HORN HONKS]
28
00:02:13,253 --> 00:02:16,086
ALLY:
She was like me...
29
00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:19,802
-. . .so I hired her.
-You did what?
30
00:02:20,013 --> 00:02:23,847
I've come to a point in my life. . .
31
00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:27,324
. . .where deep down I long to be. . . .
32
00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:34,972
-A mentor.
-Dear God, no.
33
00:02:36,613 --> 00:02:37,966
I've been down this road
34
00:02:38,853 --> 00:02:41,845
Friends and Lovers
35
00:02:42,093 --> 00:02:45,244
Walking the line
That's painted by pride
36
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:52,447
And I have made mistakes in my life
That ljust can 't hide
37
00:02:52,973 --> 00:02:59,811
Oh, I believe I am ready
For what love has to bring
38
00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:07,449
I got myself together
Now I'm ready to sing
39
00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:14,081
I've been searching my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
40
00:03:14,733 --> 00:03:21,332
Now I know I can shine the light
To fiind my way back home
41
00:03:22,573 --> 00:03:25,246
Baby
42
00:03:26,013 --> 00:03:29,130
Oh yeah
43
00:04:01,453 --> 00:04:06,163
-Ally! They've started the meeting.
-Without you?
44
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:10,326
-She said that?
-Never mind, Elaine. I'll take that.
45
00:04:10,493 --> 00:04:12,643
I love her so far.
46
00:04:12,813 --> 00:04:14,132
Ally, tick-tock.
47
00:04:14,293 --> 00:04:17,524
-This is Jenny Shaw.
-I don't like her.
48
00:04:17,693 --> 00:04:21,288
-I've just hired her to work here.
-You did what?
49
00:04:21,453 --> 00:04:24,763
-I have a good feeling about her.
-You're an associate.
50
00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:30,132
-We just hired Corretta.
-You said we needed somebody else.
51
00:04:31,653 --> 00:04:35,123
I might have continued saying it if
we hadn't hired someone this morning.
52
00:04:35,533 --> 00:04:36,932
Oh.
53
00:04:37,613 --> 00:04:42,482
-So, unfortunately, Jenny--
-Tell Mr. Fish about your case.
54
00:04:43,373 --> 00:04:48,322
Well, I was home making clam
linguini for a friend. Not a lover--
55
00:04:49,013 --> 00:04:51,732
-Skip ahead.
-And the phone rang. It was. . .
56
00:04:51,893 --> 00:04:56,762
. . .a phone company asking what service
I used, and offering low rates.
57
00:04:56,973 --> 00:04:58,725
Skip ahead.
58
00:04:58,973 --> 00:05:03,489
And this was the fourth time
this week I'd gotten such a call.
59
00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:06,372
How many of you get those calls?
60
00:05:06,533 --> 00:05:10,572
I sued them for harassment.
They deliberately call at dinner.
61
00:05:10,733 --> 00:05:14,692
I don't want to spend my free time
listening to some idiot. . .
62
00:05:14,853 --> 00:05:18,971
. . .tell me I can call England
for 1 0 cents a minute. So I sued.
63
00:05:19,133 --> 00:05:23,172
-Well, excellent--
-There's more. Tell him.
64
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:27,292
I filed a class action. . .
65
00:05:27,453 --> 00:05:30,843
. . .and put out a notice
for other plaintiffs.
66
00:05:31,013 --> 00:05:35,723
And other people did come forward.
I'm up to 72,000.
67
00:05:35,893 --> 00:05:39,772
-A class action with 72,000 plaintiffs?
-Yes.
68
00:05:39,933 --> 00:05:42,049
-Against which phone companies?
-All of them.
69
00:05:42,213 --> 00:05:43,771
-All of them?
-They all do it.
70
00:05:44,013 --> 00:05:46,925
-It's a trade practice.
-Have they answered your complaint?
71
00:05:47,093 --> 00:05:50,005
They brought a 1 2b to dismiss,
and I beat them.
72
00:05:50,173 --> 00:05:53,529
Then the phone companies
hired her firm. . .
73
00:05:53,693 --> 00:05:56,526
. . .the firm dumped the plaintiffs
and Jenny.
74
00:05:56,693 --> 00:05:59,651
-So now she comes with 72,000 clients.
-And growing.
75
00:06:02,213 --> 00:06:05,728
I think I speak for everybody. . .
76
00:06:05,893 --> 00:06:10,125
. . .when I say it's a privilege
to have you join us.
77
00:06:10,293 --> 00:06:13,251
Richard, Glenn Foy has arrived.
78
00:06:14,893 --> 00:06:19,330
-Glenn. Excellent--
-Is this a trick?
79
00:06:19,493 --> 00:06:20,846
-What are you doing here?
-What're you doing?
80
00:06:21,053 --> 00:06:22,884
-I work here.
-What?
81
00:06:24,213 --> 00:06:27,410
-You two know each other?
-It's him.
82
00:06:27,573 --> 00:06:29,245
Him. Him-- Him who?
83
00:06:34,013 --> 00:06:36,652
The cute uterus-tickler?
84
00:06:37,613 --> 00:06:40,446
I don't understand.
85
00:06:40,613 --> 00:06:43,730
When they fired you,
I quit and Richard hired me.
86
00:06:43,933 --> 00:06:45,002
You quit over me?
87
00:06:45,253 --> 00:06:50,202
-I didn't know you worked here.
-Great. We can still work together.
88
00:06:50,373 --> 00:06:51,931
Yeah. . . . Um. . . .
89
00:06:53,253 --> 00:06:55,767
Oh. Okay.
90
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:07,245
A total boy.
And a pretty boy at that.
91
00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:10,689
I never go for pretty boys,
especially young ones.
92
00:07:10,853 --> 00:07:16,564
-I just thought he was cute.
-I'm not clear about the problem.
93
00:07:17,133 --> 00:07:18,930
-Why do you do that?
-Do what?
94
00:07:19,133 --> 00:07:20,532
Tilt your head like that?
You go:
95
00:07:20,693 --> 00:07:24,368
"I'm not clear. I'm confused.
I'm not comfortable. "
96
00:07:24,533 --> 00:07:28,572
It happens a lot on C-words.
97
00:07:28,733 --> 00:07:33,602
I have a chronic tic disorder.
Certain words trigger it.
98
00:07:33,773 --> 00:07:38,085
I'm cut to the quick
that you would mock me.
99
00:07:38,253 --> 00:07:43,008
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea--
100
00:07:43,173 --> 00:07:46,688
-You still don't trust me.
-Lawyers are not very trustworthy.
101
00:07:46,853 --> 00:07:51,768
And that I would hire one
as my therapist is just. . . .
102
00:07:53,253 --> 00:07:56,211
As highly recommended as you are.
103
00:07:56,373 --> 00:08:00,366
I went to a lawyer who I thought
was a therapist, which he was not.
104
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:02,171
Cost me a year of my life.
105
00:08:02,373 --> 00:08:05,524
-Tell me more about the cute boy.
-He's wrong for me.
106
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:08,605
-Of course. Because?
-For one thing. . . .
107
00:08:10,013 --> 00:08:14,928
He's so GQ. Puke!
And he's Jenny's ex.
108
00:08:15,093 --> 00:08:18,085
And I've done the whole
love-triangle thing.
109
00:08:18,253 --> 00:08:23,008
What do they call people
who relive their lives over and over?
110
00:08:23,173 --> 00:08:27,371
-The clinical word? Pathetic.
-Yes. Right.
111
00:08:27,533 --> 00:08:32,402
Well, I'm not one to relive
my past problems.
112
00:08:32,573 --> 00:08:37,727
-I'm committed to new disasters.
-Ally, give me your hand.
113
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:48,451
You said you wanted to talk
about the girl.
114
00:08:48,693 --> 00:08:49,762
-Jenny.
-Yes.
115
00:08:50,213 --> 00:08:53,808
But you keep bringing up the boy.
116
00:08:59,253 --> 00:09:00,572
ALLY:
Hey.
117
00:09:09,413 --> 00:09:13,645
-What's wrong?
-They won't release the files.
118
00:09:13,813 --> 00:09:17,601
-Who?
-My old firm.
119
00:09:17,773 --> 00:09:21,732
They think I should be disqualified
from the case. I need those files. . .
120
00:09:21,893 --> 00:09:26,728
. . .to prepare for my decertification
motion, should I win and stay on.
121
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:32,326
I'm not a vulgar person,
but I really think they're. . .
122
00:09:32,853 --> 00:09:34,081
. . .pricks.
123
00:09:37,173 --> 00:09:39,926
What did you think of Glenn?
124
00:09:40,933 --> 00:09:43,242
Well, he seemed nice.
125
00:09:43,453 --> 00:09:48,971
He is. But I think
I should find a new best friend.
126
00:09:51,213 --> 00:09:54,171
-Are you available?
-Oh, well, actually--
127
00:09:54,413 --> 00:09:55,289
Do you have a boyfriend?
128
00:09:55,493 --> 00:09:59,884
-Not at the moment.
-Any close friends who are male?
129
00:10:00,053 --> 00:10:05,081
I'm trying to work out whether I'm
aberrant to have a male best friend.
130
00:10:05,253 --> 00:10:10,611
One of my best friends is male.
John Cage.
131
00:10:10,773 --> 00:10:15,642
-I even love him.
-John Cage? The little one.
132
00:10:16,853 --> 00:10:21,051
He might not be tall,
but his heart is mammoth.
133
00:10:21,213 --> 00:10:25,525
-And you love him?
-Totally. He gets me.
134
00:10:26,253 --> 00:10:31,486
My weirdness. He loves all of
my eccentricities. And I love his.
135
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:35,882
-Well, why don't you date him?
-Can I help you?
136
00:10:36,093 --> 00:10:37,242
Oh.
137
00:10:37,933 --> 00:10:40,811
No, thank you.
138
00:10:41,213 --> 00:10:42,362
(CRACKS HIS NECK]
139
00:10:42,493 --> 00:10:46,008
-No chemistry?
-None.
140
00:10:47,253 --> 00:10:52,611
As much as I love him as a friend,
there's just no heat.
141
00:10:52,773 --> 00:10:56,243
I'm just not attracted to him.
142
00:11:00,133 --> 00:11:02,124
What's up, buddy?
143
00:11:04,813 --> 00:11:06,724
Are you okay?
144
00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:12,125
Ally loves me.
145
00:11:41,973 --> 00:11:46,888
-Ally? You ready?
-For what?
146
00:11:47,053 --> 00:11:50,807
-Court.
-Court. . . .
147
00:11:52,453 --> 00:11:54,603
Oh, court!
148
00:11:54,773 --> 00:11:56,968
Court! Yes, court.
149
00:11:57,133 --> 00:12:02,446
Yes, let's go off
to court. Court. Right.
150
00:12:03,533 --> 00:12:06,684
-You signed a contract.
-I did not.
151
00:12:06,853 --> 00:12:09,321
We had a binding oral thing.
152
00:12:09,493 --> 00:12:13,406
-I pulled you off the streets.
-It was a bidding war.
153
00:12:13,573 --> 00:12:17,282
-It was a binding bidding. . . .
-Jenny and I had a thing.
154
00:12:17,453 --> 00:12:18,329
-She can go.
-I don't want her to.
155
00:12:18,533 --> 00:12:20,922
Why's it your say? First you're
quitting, now you're in charge.
156
00:12:21,133 --> 00:12:26,605
You're mixed up. This happens when
you breach orally binding bidding. . . .
157
00:12:26,773 --> 00:12:31,210
-I'm sorry.
-Can I make a suggestion?
158
00:12:31,373 --> 00:12:35,924
Give it a week. If you and Jenny
can't work together, leave.
159
00:12:36,093 --> 00:12:39,563
-If you can, stay.
-That's smart.
160
00:12:39,773 --> 00:12:40,569
-Richard!
-One second, John.
161
00:12:40,813 --> 00:12:43,407
It can't wait another second.
I'm irreparably fraught.
162
00:12:43,573 --> 00:12:46,690
He's fraught. We'll talk later.
163
00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:54,004
-I promise you, we're not late.
-We're not late?
164
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:57,449
-We're fine.
-Jenny! Hello, dear.
165
00:12:57,613 --> 00:13:01,811
Oh. This is Simon McAllister,
the man who fired me.
166
00:13:01,973 --> 00:13:07,252
-We had a situation.
-You said I couldn't work there anymore.
167
00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:12,726
One day you'll run your own firm.
Then you'll appreciate the economics.
168
00:13:13,453 --> 00:13:16,843
-All set, Simon? Hey, Jenny!
-You're arguing?
169
00:13:17,013 --> 00:13:18,002
Hey, Raymond Millbury.
170
00:13:18,253 --> 00:13:22,883
-Hi. Ally McBeal.
-We should go in. Nice to meet you.
171
00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:25,487
You too.
172
00:13:27,653 --> 00:13:30,690
-You thought he was cute.
-I did not.
173
00:13:30,853 --> 00:13:35,529
You gave your outfit a glance-over.
I do it too when I meet a cute guy.
174
00:13:35,693 --> 00:13:38,605
And my breasts,
to make sure they're still there.
175
00:13:38,773 --> 00:13:43,608
-Can we just go in?
-You checked your outfit.
176
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,690
I didn't know you had
these feelings for Ally.
177
00:13:49,853 --> 00:13:54,324
I think they were buried, but when
I heard her say she loved me. . .
178
00:13:54,493 --> 00:13:57,929
. . .everything was unearthed.
I'm upended.
179
00:13:58,093 --> 00:14:03,326
If Ally were interested, don't you
think she'd have given you a sign?
180
00:14:03,893 --> 00:14:07,932
Maybe she's afraid to
jeopardize the friendship or. . . .
181
00:14:08,093 --> 00:14:11,369
-Well, then make the move.
-Oh, what move?
182
00:14:11,613 --> 00:14:13,126
Declare yourself.
183
00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:19,771
It's not that easy. Ally's riddled
with emotional deficits.
184
00:14:19,973 --> 00:14:23,886
She can't fathom being loved
by a worthy other.
185
00:14:24,173 --> 00:14:29,725
So when one pursues her, he renders
himself unworthy in her lake-like eyes.
186
00:14:30,413 --> 00:14:34,372
I can either deny my heart
and let her continue to covet me. . .
187
00:14:35,733 --> 00:14:41,444
. . .or I can reveal my fancy
and extinguish her desires.
188
00:14:42,253 --> 00:14:44,528
I'm upended.
189
00:14:44,693 --> 00:14:49,528
-"Lake-like eyes"?
-Her eyes look like lakes to me.
190
00:14:49,693 --> 00:14:53,845
Ponds, actually.
Placid, with deceiving depth.
191
00:14:55,493 --> 00:14:57,643
Never mind.
192
00:14:57,813 --> 00:15:01,010
You need to get her to pursue you.
193
00:15:01,173 --> 00:15:04,529
-How?
-Give her hints you're accessible.
194
00:15:04,693 --> 00:15:08,732
Give her the confidence
to be the aggressor.
195
00:15:08,893 --> 00:15:12,044
-You think so?
-I do. Though the odds are--
196
00:15:12,213 --> 00:15:15,489
She said it. I heard her.
197
00:15:15,653 --> 00:15:20,090
Instead of going to her, you must
find a way to let her know. . .
198
00:15:20,293 --> 00:15:22,853
. . .she can come to you.
199
00:15:38,013 --> 00:15:41,847
This seems suspicious.
Your firm beats the phone companies.
200
00:15:42,293 --> 00:15:46,571
-Now you defend them.
-We represented one of them before.
201
00:15:46,733 --> 00:15:51,011
-That posed a conflict.
-It was an old antitrust matter--
202
00:15:51,173 --> 00:15:53,733
One of the companies was a client. . .
203
00:15:53,893 --> 00:15:58,683
. . .so we're ethically prohibited from
prosecuting a claim against them.
204
00:15:58,853 --> 00:16:02,926
-But why should she be disqualified?
-Ms. Shaw was privy to files--
205
00:16:03,093 --> 00:16:06,608
-I never saw any old files.
-To avoid any improper--
206
00:16:06,773 --> 00:16:10,083
Please! First you switch sides
to represent the deeper pockets.
207
00:16:10,253 --> 00:16:12,767
Now you use this pretext conflict
argument to disqualify her.
208
00:16:13,013 --> 00:16:15,766
Figuring that no other lawyer will
take the time to push this uphill.
209
00:16:15,973 --> 00:16:19,010
What Ms. Beal calls a pretext
is the law.
210
00:16:19,173 --> 00:16:23,963
This is bad faith and they should be
sanctioned. And it's McBeal, okay?
211
00:16:24,653 --> 00:16:30,205
-I'm not able to read their minds.
-Your Honor does have common sense.
212
00:16:30,413 --> 00:16:35,533
They are trying to squash Jenny Shaw.
He won't even give her the files.
213
00:16:35,693 --> 00:16:40,687
-If Ms. Shaw should be recused. . . .
-Then I'll give them back, you dink.
214
00:16:40,853 --> 00:16:44,243
Sorry, Your Honor,
the dink part is inside information.
215
00:16:44,413 --> 00:16:48,372
I'll let you stay on, but I think
this case is a waste of time.
216
00:16:48,533 --> 00:16:50,649
Suing the phone companies for
soliciting business.
217
00:16:50,813 --> 00:16:54,488
I'll see you both for the
decertification hearing tomorrow.
218
00:17:00,773 --> 00:17:05,767
Every time I see her
She don 't even look my way
219
00:17:09,893 --> 00:17:13,442
She's good. She's a fighter.
We should try to keep her.
220
00:17:13,613 --> 00:17:17,492
-What's with her and Glenn?
-Well. . . .
221
00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:22,043
-Stuff.
-Lovers can be friends.
222
00:17:22,213 --> 00:17:26,684
-And friends can be lovers.
-That's true, John.
223
00:17:26,853 --> 00:17:30,607
Perhaps one day,
that could be in the cards for you.
224
00:17:32,133 --> 00:17:37,253
-Perhaps. Thank you for that.
-Indeed.
225
00:17:40,613 --> 00:17:44,572
That was your move?
You looked like you had gas, John.
226
00:17:44,813 --> 00:17:46,166
Shh!
227
00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:52,403
ALLY:
Somebody's after me.
228
00:17:52,573 --> 00:17:56,202
-I'm not sure who. It could be Jenny.
-Lesbianically?
229
00:17:57,373 --> 00:18:01,048
-No. No!
-Could be the boy.
230
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:06,731
-You brought him up this time.
-Ally, I was once a boy.
231
00:18:06,893 --> 00:18:11,683
I didn't know therapists revealed
their own secrets.
232
00:18:11,853 --> 00:18:16,210
And it was an older woman
who came to me and first made me. . .
233
00:18:17,453 --> 00:18:21,731
. . .a man.
Allison, give me your hand.
234
00:18:25,933 --> 00:18:30,768
I know about life. When you do find
the perfect mate, you'll marry him.
235
00:18:30,933 --> 00:18:35,609
And you'll commit the rest of
your days trying to change him.
236
00:18:35,773 --> 00:18:39,846
Finally, 1 0, 20, 30 years
hence, you'll succeed.
237
00:18:40,053 --> 00:18:42,362
You'll look at him. . .
238
00:18:42,573 --> 00:18:46,327
. . .having rehabilitated
all his habits, his idiosyncrasies. . .
239
00:18:46,533 --> 00:18:50,731
. . .and you'll bemoan:
"You're not the man I married. "
240
00:18:52,093 --> 00:18:55,642
-Could you hone in on a point?
-Younger men are trainable.
241
00:18:55,813 --> 00:19:00,409
If he's attractive and smart,
take him home. Take him shopping.
242
00:19:00,573 --> 00:19:05,328
Take him into your bosom.
It's not the man who makes the man.
243
00:19:06,013 --> 00:19:08,527
It's the woman.
244
00:19:22,613 --> 00:19:25,411
-I've decided you're wrong.
-About?
245
00:19:25,653 --> 00:19:27,564
About how a woman should
find a mate. . .
246
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:32,682
. . .who's like a pet
that she can housetrain.
247
00:19:32,853 --> 00:19:36,732
But we like it. We live to obey.
248
00:19:36,893 --> 00:19:42,251
-That's not what I'm looking for.
-Give me your hand, please.
249
00:19:44,173 --> 00:19:49,122
Would you like to be able
to stop thinking about Glenn?
250
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:51,130
-Yes.
-All right.
251
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:55,406
What I'm about to tell you
is highly confidential.
252
00:19:56,093 --> 00:20:01,326
When the attraction is only sexual,
the best way to extinguish it is. . .
253
00:20:01,493 --> 00:20:05,850
. . .to go to yourself
with him in mind.
254
00:20:06,013 --> 00:20:08,971
-I beg your pardon?
-It puts out the urge.
255
00:20:09,133 --> 00:20:14,571
-Are you suggesting. . .?
-Libido is a thirst.
256
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:20,691
Best to quench it. Doing so without
him in the room. . . . Much neater.
257
00:20:25,533 --> 00:20:30,732
-Do you do that?
-That's not appropriate to discuss.
258
00:20:30,973 --> 00:20:34,648
-You're a lewd person.
-But a good therapist.
259
00:20:34,813 --> 00:20:38,044
If the attraction is only sexual. . .
260
00:20:38,213 --> 00:20:42,764
. . .the means for beating it,
lie in your own hands.
261
00:21:03,413 --> 00:21:07,167
ALLY: A woman can tell
when she's being pursued.
262
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:12,805
Maybe God made another me, thinking
if at fiirst you don 't succeed....
263
00:21:15,493 --> 00:21:17,643
Ally. Jenny.
264
00:21:17,813 --> 00:21:20,930
Raymond Millbury is
in Glenn Foy's office.
265
00:21:21,093 --> 00:21:24,324
Ally? One second.
266
00:21:26,533 --> 00:21:29,127
Thanks.
267
00:21:29,293 --> 00:21:31,853
I need you to help work it out
between Glenn and Jenny.
268
00:21:32,053 --> 00:21:36,012
-This affects their lives. Our lives.
-How does it affect our lives?
269
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:39,245
If he stays, we get more rich,
if he goes, we don't.
270
00:21:39,413 --> 00:21:42,405
It's just stupid--
Sorry!
271
00:21:42,573 --> 00:21:44,928
It's all right, pork chop.
272
00:21:46,693 --> 00:21:51,130
-Pork chop?
-It's just. . . .
273
00:21:52,573 --> 00:21:56,407
I meant to say lamb chop. Damn it!
274
00:22:00,333 --> 00:22:03,928
-You called me a dink.
-I said it to you.
275
00:22:04,093 --> 00:22:07,722
-He's got an offer.
-Drop the case.
276
00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:12,330
We pay the legal fees.
We'll round it off to 75,000.
277
00:22:12,493 --> 00:22:17,248
-All the money goes in your pocket.
-That's 75,000 to you.
278
00:22:17,413 --> 00:22:20,928
Plus, you don't sue us
for wrongful termination.
279
00:22:21,093 --> 00:22:24,290
-What's going on?
-Nothing. You've got an offer.
280
00:22:24,453 --> 00:22:28,082
The phone company suddenly
agreed to pay her $75,000?
281
00:22:28,253 --> 00:22:31,928
-The money comes from us.
-And what do you get out of it?
282
00:22:32,093 --> 00:22:36,928
-Three happy billion-dollar clients.
-So this is a payoff?
283
00:22:37,093 --> 00:22:40,563
-I wouldn't call it that.
-What about bribe?
284
00:22:40,733 --> 00:22:41,961
-Are you married?
-What?
285
00:22:42,173 --> 00:22:43,401
Raymond.
286
00:22:43,893 --> 00:22:46,646
-You think he's cute!
-I do not!
287
00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:48,366
Jenny.
288
00:22:48,693 --> 00:22:52,811
-This is free money.
-But I have 72,000 clients.
289
00:22:52,973 --> 00:22:56,522
Give them a dollar apiece
and keep 3000.
290
00:22:56,693 --> 00:22:57,808
This is the best I can do.
291
00:22:58,013 --> 00:23:00,049
-This was your idea?
-It doesn't matter.
292
00:23:00,253 --> 00:23:03,643
I don't need you to rescue me.
You are a contradiction.
293
00:23:03,813 --> 00:23:06,885
First quitting out of principle,
then orchestrating a bribe. . .
294
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:09,647
. . .to seem like a shining knight. Did
you hope I'd go down on your lance?
295
00:23:09,893 --> 00:23:10,769
Ugh, nice.
296
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:15,171
-Do you still have sex together?
-Give us a second.
297
00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:19,406
-You're gonna let your pride ruin this?
-No deal.
298
00:23:26,813 --> 00:23:30,203
They were just bickering
like little children.
299
00:23:30,373 --> 00:23:33,809
Because, you know,
that's what they are, right?
300
00:23:33,973 --> 00:23:37,443
-Right.
-Why do you say it like it's wrong?
301
00:23:37,613 --> 00:23:40,252
Give me your hand, please.
302
00:23:41,093 --> 00:23:42,446
Ally. . . .
303
00:23:42,613 --> 00:23:45,650
-Do you have aging issues?
-Me?!
304
00:23:45,813 --> 00:23:49,522
Why would I have issues
about that?
305
00:23:49,693 --> 00:23:54,369
-Can you even say the word "aging"?
-Yes, I can. Aging.
306
00:23:54,533 --> 00:23:58,003
One way women seek
to recapture youth. . .
307
00:23:58,173 --> 00:24:02,325
. . .is to see themselves through
the loving eyes of a younger man.
308
00:24:02,493 --> 00:24:05,405
To feel herself
in his strong arms. . .
309
00:24:05,573 --> 00:24:09,122
. . .or feel him
inside her aging, withering--
310
00:24:09,293 --> 00:24:13,889
-Don't be gross!
-We must extinguish our evil urges.
311
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:17,329
So we can move on.
312
00:24:17,493 --> 00:24:21,008
You need to surrender
to my wisdom, Allison.
313
00:24:27,173 --> 00:24:29,289
John?
314
00:24:29,453 --> 00:24:31,683
Corretta. Hello.
315
00:24:31,853 --> 00:24:35,448
-What are you doing?
-I'm working on a new smile.
316
00:24:35,613 --> 00:24:37,888
Oh. Okay.
317
00:24:40,973 --> 00:24:45,012
Corretta? Could I ask you
something as a woman?
318
00:24:45,173 --> 00:24:49,689
-You could, but aren't you a man?
-Yes. No. I meant you--
319
00:24:49,853 --> 00:24:52,492
Forgive me, I dangled a modifier.
320
00:24:52,653 --> 00:24:56,362
Can two people,
who were once lovers. . .
321
00:24:56,533 --> 00:24:59,764
. . .work at the same law firm,
just as friends?
322
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:05,291
I refer, of course,

-Yes.
-Excellent. And as a corollary. . .

have worked together as friends. . .

-No, no, no.

Oh. Oh.

-Why not?
-It just doesn't happen.

334
00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:50,611
It did happen to me once.
This guy I was friends with. . .
335
00:25:50,773 --> 00:25:52,923
. . .one day he just said:
336

"I want you, you want me,
let's get on with business. "
337
00:25:59,093 --> 00:26:04,008
I was so startled. I suddenly saw him
in a different way.
338
00:26:04,653 --> 00:26:07,804
And we did end up going out.

-Just say, "Let's get on with it. "

-It seems so sophomoric.

-It's always been her.

it to myself.

But why Ally,

loneliness, she's afraid. . . .

They just filled out questionnaires.

And who cares about the cost to you?

Your time doesn't matter to them.
But it does matter.

Suppose you're waiting for somebody

. . .and every time you pick it up,
it's always the damn phone company.

The ruling came back.
The judge certified the class.

-He did?
-Mm-hm.
449
00:36:25,413 --> 00:36:30,407
He still wants to see about damages,
but you've got a class action.
450

This is the end?

00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:41,882
-Yesterday, she was magic.
-Just drop it, all right?
485
00:39:42,053 --> 00:39:46,888
I don't really love her.
I think it was hormones.
486
00:39:47,053 --> 00:39:51,012
-What's going on?
-I just don't want to go there.
487
00:39:51,173 --> 00:39:53,846
I thought I did, but I don't.
488
00:39:54,013 --> 00:39:56,766
No, I'm in. . . .
489
00:39:57,773 --> 00:39:59,092
-Yeah.
-Mm-hm.
490
00:40:01,133 --> 00:40:05,923
Life without a care
She's broke but it's oke
491
00:40:06,093 --> 00:40:11,008
She loathes California
It's cold and it's damp
492
00:40:11,973 --> 00:40:17,366
That's why the lady
That is why the lady
493
00:40:17,813 --> 00:40:21,408
That's why lady is a tramp
494
00:40:23,093 --> 00:40:26,210
Well, he is cute.
And he sings, did I tell you?
495
00:40:26,373 --> 00:40:29,888
-Three times.
-Jenny still clearly loves him.
496
00:40:30,053 --> 00:40:33,090
And you're not comfortable with that.
497
00:40:33,253 --> 00:40:36,848
Why do you feel the need
to protect Jenny?
498
00:40:37,013 --> 00:40:40,289
-Because I used to be her.
-What are you protecting her from?
499
00:40:40,453 --> 00:40:44,446
I don't know.
Maybe from becoming. . . .
500
00:40:44,933 --> 00:40:50,371
-Who you are today?
-And who am I today?
501
00:40:50,853 --> 00:40:54,732
-It would only be a guess.
-Take it.
502
00:40:54,893 --> 00:40:59,967
Somebody who desperately wants love,
but no longer believes in it.
503
00:41:06,213 --> 00:41:11,651
That's a pretty offensive thing
to say, not to mention hurtful.
504
00:41:11,813 --> 00:41:16,443
-I'm sorry.
-Can you tell me why you think that?
505
00:41:16,613 --> 00:41:21,403
I tend not to say things my clients
don't want to hear. Bad for business.
506
00:41:21,573 --> 00:41:24,087
-I'd like to know.
-All right.
507
00:41:24,253 --> 00:41:29,281
You don't want to be with a man
you think is capable of hurting you.
508
00:41:29,453 --> 00:41:34,243
-Really? And why do you think that?
-Only you know why.
509
00:41:34,413 --> 00:41:37,564
I want to know why you think it.
510
00:41:41,013 --> 00:41:44,005
You really want that boy.
511
00:42:24,373 --> 00:42:25,806
OLD LADY:
You stinker!
512
