Original subtitles

BERLUTI: Previously on "The Practice"...

We've decided to let you go. Go where?

YOUNG: Here's a check

representing two weeks' severance pay.

I've generated fees in excess of $6 million.

You've handed me a check for $15,000.

YOUNG: Alan Shore seemed to know this was coming.

Did you tell him? Yes.

YOUNG: Your employment here is terminated.

What's with the red tie, soldier?

Red is soft.

Soft does not work around here, sailor.

That's Denny Crane?

The Denny Crane?

BILLINGS: Don't be fooled.

Once he's in the courtroom,

he's every bit the icon.

I'm a senior partner in my firm

the way you are in yours.

It's not enough to insist on fidelity

or fair dealing.

A good leader has to practice it.

FOREPERSON: "Was the defendant's termination

of the plaintiff wrongful?",

we find in the affirmative.

We order the defendant to pay

the plaintiff $2.3 million.

SHORE: Denny, this is Tara Wilson.

We hire only the prettiest people in this firm.

Are you a pretty girl, soldier?

I am (clears throat) sir.

I like her.

(door opens)

Jimmy.

BERLUTI: Manny, what...

QUINN: Look at you in that suit.

Do you, like, own that?

(both laughs)

BERLUTI: I was just talking to your mother.

QUINN: I know this.

She told me, which is kind of what put the idea

in my brain that I should, uh,

maybe come see you.

I heard you got fatter, but you look good.

Well, thanks, um,

Ellenor Frutt, Eugene Young,

Manny Quinn, old friend.

FRUTT: Hi.

BERLUTI: What's up?

Uh, can I talk in front of them?

Well, uh, yes, they're lawyers.

Privilege applies to all of us.

I've had some drug problems as of late,

not using,

I swear, just selling.

I would never use.

Anyway, I got, uh,

I can talk, right?

Yeah.

I got myself in this situation, okay?

A few weeks ago, I got shot

right in the ass,

nothing serious.

You know me, I'm not a complainer.

Anyway, I had this dope deal coming up

that I was planning.

I didn't tell anybody

except Gigi Coley,

my girlfriend, remember Gigi?

Of course.

How is she?

She got fatter, but she's good.

Anyway, all of a sudden,

the Feds are busting down my door.

I got raided.

They seized my pot.

They arrested me.

They opened the wound in my ass all over again.

It was terrible.

It healed up good,

and I'm not suing for that or nothing.

But my point,

nobody could have known

about this drug deal, Jimmy.

I didn't tell no one.

I think the FBI bugged me.

I'm positive.

Bugged you? How?

They inserted some device in my buttocks.

I know it sounds nuts,

but I think during the first surgery,

they inserted one of those small microchips,

then during the second procedure,

they took it out.

It's the only way they could have known about the pot.

I mean, I didn't talk about this deal

on the phone or nothing,

so I want to bring a motion to suppress.

I mean, this is beyond unconstitutional.

You can't bug a man's ass.

It isn't right.

(music playing)

You must be joking.

I don't joke. I don't believe in humor.

Well, I don't believe in guns,

and I do not shoot ducks.

Every new employee picks up a rifle.

It's how I judge character.

MODRY: Denny...

a little problem,

the Finnertys are here, very upset.

Oh?

Who are they and why do I care?

They're the wrongful-death case

you brought in here.

And they're upset

because their trial starts tomorrow,

and you've been totally absent.

Did you explain to them

that I'm typically absent?

MODRY: I did, and they're maintaining

it's you they hired,

and they're feeling defrauded.

All right.

Tell them I'll be right in.

MODRY: Okay.

And to prepare me,

do you know what you plan to say?

No idea.

ROSE: Most paralegals request not to work with me.

Just so you know, I am totally fine

with being hated. Got it.

I'm actually not that difficult.

Don't do anything to disappoint me,

and we'll get along fine.

HEEP: So, I could...

ROSE: Sally,

if you dress like that,

people will get the right idea about you.

Please, go home and change.

You can't keep talking to me like this.

Woman-on-woman can still be

sexual harassment.

ROSE: Wonderful. And if you look around,

you might find someone who cares.

In the meantime,

go home or wherever it was

you woke up this morning

and put on a different outfit.

CRANE: At ease.

Bill, Sarah,

good to see you.

BILL: Good to see us.

You know, we hired you 14 months ago.

We've been in here dozens of times

for meetings, depositions.

We have never seen you.

Our trial starts tomorrow.

We came specifically for you,

which we made clear.

Sheldon Modry specializes in wrongful death.

He's uniquely qualified to handle this,

given the way your daughter so...

wrongfully died.

Do you even remember

how our daughter died?

Of course I do.

Such a shame.

So wrongful.

Tell me how my daughter died,

Mr. Crane.

Bill, Sarah,

Mary died...

when a store light fixture fell,

tragically, on her.

Are you going to be trying this case or not?

I am going to be trying this case.

I beg your pardon?

BERLUTI: He's a friend, Eugene,

so I'd like to you know help.

You filed a motion to suppress?

BERLUTI: Yes, based on the exclusionary rule.

The client had a reasonable expectation of privacy,

which we feel was violated.

You're planning to walk into a court of law

and argue that federal agents

installed a listening device

in your client's buttocks?

I know it feels desperate.

YOUNG: Desperate?

Oh, it feels desperate?

BERLUTI: Eugene, if the evidence

doesn't get suppressed,

he goes away.

This is one of my oldest friends.

I got to do this.

He says when he had a rigorous movement,

he could hear a little beeping sound.

MODRY: You can't possibly try this case.

Why not?

You don't know the facts.

You don't know the law.

Well, lay it out in a memo,

one page, no more, double-spaced.

That's far too complicated to--

One page, double-space,

off you go.

Denny...

CRANE: Edmond, are we on today?

EDMOND: Uh, no. I have an emergency.

Could I talk to you?

Of course.

(door opens)

(door closes)

It's my son.

He's been arrested.

Darryl?

What for?

Sexual assault,

date rape,

which he is innocent of.

I know you don't do criminal work anymore.

I'll take care of it.

He's a wonderful young man, Denny,

and you know him.

He would--

Edmund...

I'll take care of it.

MODRY: Denny is insisting on trying a case

that he knows nothing about,

tomorrow.

He settled a claim behind my back.

GORE: He lit my tie on fire

because it was red.

He referred me to a surgeon

to get my breasts done. MAN: That is inappropriate.

MAN: What are you gonna do about it?

I can't work like this.

(indistinct chatter)

BILLINGS: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's all take a breath.

Richard, as I understand it,

the case he settled behind your back

was for more money than you were prepared

to close on.

Mitchell, the tie smoked a little.

It did not go ablaze.

And Julie,

you've been complaining about your breasts

for three months.

MODRY: No, you seem to be the only one

who can handle this man, Matthew.

You need to somehow rein him in--

This is Alan Shore, Sheldon.

In addition to being a gifted attorney,

he's an accomplished

Denny Crane wrangler.

He'll join you at tomorrow's trial.

What?

BILLINGS: Please, let's all remember,

when dealing with Denny,

deep down,

beneath that amusing exterior,

his name comes first

on the letterhead.

(exhales slowly)

Hannah, I need you now, sweetheart.

MAN: That's it?!

(all shouting indistinctly)

MAN: What you gonna do about it?

A son of a client just got arrested

for date rape.

Denny just asked me-- Oh, no.

Big client, Hannah. You're an ex-D. A.

You might be able to-- I told you no more criminal--

Please, don't make me beg.

Remember what happened the last time

I got on my knees?

Don't flatter yourself.

You weren't that great.

Well, I need you to be, Hannah,

like only you can.

Yes, and you're not that charming, either.

I left the D. A.'s office to get away from--

Denny promised the client

we'd make it go away,

and I promise I'll make it up to you.

Pretty please?

Hmm?

Date rape.

Mmm.

What do you mean I can't take it?

Obviously, this is a very precarious time

for the firm.

Which is why I would think

we could use clients, even--

FRUTT: Not that client.

FRUTT: Manny is one of my oldest friends.

YOUNG: Jimmy,

the absurdity of this motion

would damage our credibility,

and that would hurt our other clients.

I want to take this case.

We're voting two to one

to turn it down.

You know, I never come to you and ask--

FRUTT: We understand that, Jimmy,

and if it were anything but this,

we would probably say yes,

but this firm cannot go into court

and claim that the FBI

bugged the client's ass.

We don't know for sure they didn't.

The stuff that's going on these days--

YOUNG: Fine.

Get some evidence to support it,

we'll reconsider,

but for now,

we're not taking the case.

CRANE: I specifically asked

for a one-page memo, soldier.

You've given me a page and a half.

Well, I thought since it is double-spaced,

I won't read it.

I like to read.

What are you doing here?

SHORE: Matthew thought my presence

could add prowess.

There's no need for prowess

when I'm in the room, Denny Crane.

Oh, gentlemen, this is Alan Shore.

He'll be joining us today,

and I believe you all know

Denny Crane.

CRANE: A woman is dead here.

$1.2 million isn't gonna bring her back to life.

Do you have a figure that will bring her back?

$2.3 million.

(clears throat)

Mr. Crane...

the decedent was not a college graduate.

Her earning capacity is limited.

No pain and suffering,

no loss of consortium.

The jury verdict research on an instant death

with no dependents is $875,000 structured.

We're offering $1.2 million up front,

it's generous.

I don't like fast little talkers.

They remind me of chipmunks.

Denny--

TALBOT: The fixture satisfied

all safety requirements.

It never should have fallen.

But it did,

on Mary Finnerty's head,

killing her,

irreparably.

Now, listen, son,

your client, All Shop,

they have over 3,000

stores nationwide,

that's 57,000 lighting fixtures

just in the good, old U. S. of A.

What if they all fell down, man?

We're not talking about one little accident

that killed Mary Finnerty's head.

This could wipe out hundreds of thousands

of innocent people,

Denny Crane.

DARRYL: The sex was consensual.

I give you my word, Ms. Rose.

ROSE: Well, her word seems to be "Rape,"

and since there's both torn clothing

and vaginal bruising--

She's making it up.

Why would she do this?

Because rape trials are fun?

DARRYL: I dated this girl.

We had sex before,

consensual.

WILSON: But if you'd had sex before,

why would she now be saying

that she was raped?

Excuse me a second.

I realize that everyone is different,

but I don't like my paralegals to talk.

I'm happy to receive your input later.

But I am so ready to give it to you now.

Obviously, for you to speak

to a junior partner like that,

you must be screwing a senior partner.

So Darryl, any ideas?

We have a woman here with bruises,

ripped clothing,

I'm looking for a little direction here.

Well, her father was very abusive to her

when she was younger.

He even sexually assaulted her.

And...

DARRYL: And I'm not a shrink,

but a buddy of mine is.

He said we could argue that

because of what her father did,

she psychologically--

I don't know, gets turned on

by mistreatment and stuff,

which, personally, I think she does,

a little,

which is why, you know,

we were having rough sex,

and that would account for the bruises and stuff.

Also...

she's African-American.

I'm sure the relevance of that is obvious,

but could you run it by me, anyway?

Well, a Boston jury is likely

to take my word over hers.

Plus, African-American women

like sex, you know...

rougher.

(music playing)

What do you mean you can't take my case?

My firm, they voted against it.

I thought you were a partner.

BERLUTI: I am, but...

I was outvoted, Manny.

Jimmy, if I don't suppress this evidence,

I'm looking at eight years.

I tried.

I don't understand it.

It's a criminal firm.

You're a partner.

I'm a criminal.

And, besides, you're my friend here.

I know, but--

QUINN: But nothing, Jimmy.

Do you remember when you passed the bar?

We threw that great big party.

And you gave this great speech

about what it meant,

how you were finally gonna be able

to help your friends.

Well, here I am, coming to you for help.

Now, what's the deal?

(gunshot)

SHORE: We look ridiculous.

You must really love to shoot.

This is America.

Everybody loves to shoot.

Guns are what makes America great.

There are more guns in American households

than pet dogs.

SHORE: Listen, as soon as we can get

the guns to fetch,

we can lick this damn dog

problem completely.

(cocks)

CRANE: Osama! Pull!

(gunshot)

Saddam! Pull!

(gunshot)

Kerry! Pull!

(gunshot)

See?

The trick is, you got to w--

(gunshot)

CRANE: Oh.

Whoa, Nellie.

The trick is, you got to want to hit

the target.

Okay.

MAN: Pull!

(gunshot)

Mother! Pull!

(gunshot)

Did you say, "Mother"?

I only meant to scare her.

MAN: Pull!

(gunshot)

SHORE: Now that we've played guns together,

can I be candid, Denny?

I've had the opportunity

to observe you for a while

from up close and afar,

and I've consistently

noticed something.

Like what?

You're not well.

People in your firm

aren't gonna tell you that,

because they like you,

plus you wield a great deal of power,

but you have about as much business

being in that courtroom tomorrow

as you do holding a loaded shotgun.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Look...

I offer this because,

"A," I don't care if I get fired,

and, "B," someone very dear to me

died with Alzheimer's.

And when I think I see symptoms,

even the possibility of symptoms...

The fact that you may have Alzheimer's

does not entitle you to criticize me.

Denny...

these people, the Finnertys,

have waited 14 months for trial.

You-- They want me.

SHORE: Because they think you're prepared.

Who do you think you are, hmm?

I hire you,

you're here a week,

now you're trying to tell me what to do?

Nobody, nobody...

tells me what to do.

Dad...

you're my father,

and you don't even remember.

I'm not your father.

I had you for a second.

Don't you laugh at me.

I'm healthy.

I'm the picture of health.

(glass thumps)

BERLUTI: When I went to law school,

it wasn't to get rich or...

I had a lot of buddies who got in jams.

I became a lawyer

to help my friends.

It was that simple.

There was something about that that seemed

very glamorous to me,

and it still does.

Really?

BERLUTI: Get some space in the North End,

wake up every morning,

drop my laundry off

at the Fluff and Fold,

have coffee with Lenny and Sal

at Maury's Doughnuts,

help Steve get the Denver boot off his pickup,

help Sylvia get a loan

even though she's got no credit,

negotiate a better price

on a condo for my Aunt Mary,

help the people I really care about

to live better lives, you know.

Then close up early enough

to have supper with them.

That sounds like a life to me,

a rich one, even.

You have to do it.

Do what?

Hang a shingle on the North End,

help Aunt Mary with her credit,

help Lenny with...

you have to do it.

I can't abandon the firm now

of all times.

STRINGER: Jimmy, the word on the street

is our firm is over.

I've been looking.

You have?

And get this,

one of my close friends

is a headhunter.

Eugene's put his name out there.

What?

Eugene?

STRINGER: Three weeks ago, he interviewed

at Hollings and Gray.

That's not even the point.

You have to go do this

because it's what you want to do.

You have to do it.

ROSE: It's not just going away, Matthew,

especially not quickly.

He raped her.

Not what I want to hear.

Look, get the new guy to do this.

He's done criminal cases. The new guy...

is in court on Denny Crane control.

I told you when I came here

it was to get away from criminal law.

I have an official complaint to lodge,

and since it's about her,

she might as well be present for it.

I fight my battles open.

You might want to opt for an adverb there, Sal,

"Openly" would support your predicate.

"Open" would describe your leg position at the bar.

HEEP: I want that on the record.

HALL: Ooh, the girls are fighting.

I've got a big one, Glenn.

Yeah, tell me something I don't know.

Oh, please.

Hannah.

Glenn.

Date rape, we need to find

some credibility issues quickly.

The victim's name is Candace Watson.

Suspect's father is a blue chip.

We'll get you employee records,

school transcripts, credit report.

Your hair,

it's so you.

Mmm.

Hi.

Hi.

We're not simply looking to prevail at trial.

The goal would be to squash this now.

I need this.

(scoffs)

Denny, I am begging you,

I've prepared this opening for three weeks.

Overkill.

(sighs) Alan...

We don't want to steal the thunder

from your closing, Denny.

Not gonna get to a closing, no, sir.

WHITE: Mr. Crane,

we'll hear from you.

CRANE: Denny Crane,

I represent the plaintiff.

And here's what's gonna happen.

A whole lot of witnesses are gonna get up and,

tell you how and why...

All Shop's lighting fixture

fell on Mary Finnerty's head,

killing her.

The defense is gonna get up, have their say,

then I'll get up again

and ask you to give...

Sarah and Bill Finnerty

a whole lot of money.

Now, it's difficult to put a...

price on a human life, I grant you,

but this is All Shop.

And as the defense counsel

was so quick to point out to me,

they have over 3,000 stores in this country,

10,000 internationally.

We're not talking about one lighting fixture.

We're talking about a lot of lives at stake here.

Objection.

Sustained.

Mr. Crane, can we talk about this case only?

Can we do that?

Oh, of course.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Um...

value of human life,

it's a bugger.

My friend Jerry Spence tells the story

of this paper boy delivering his papers

on his morning route one day.

He throws the paper through the window,

shatters the glass,

blinds a woman.

What's the value of that?

The paper boy decides to give the woman

his profits for the week, not very much,

considering she was blinded.

Now, here we have a loss of life,

an avoidable loss,

not merely an accident,

one they could have prevented.

So, I think the paper boy had the right idea.

At the end of this trial, I'm gonna get up,

I'm gonna ask the defendant

to pay my client one week's profit.

No, let's make that a day's profit.

Let's not get greedy here.

We may not be able to put a price

on Mary Finnerty's life,

but we can at least pay her family

the profits for the day they killed her.

What could be more fair than that?

Hmm?

My client's profits are not relevant.

The number of stores they have is not relevant.

How dare you go into that?

And how dare you not shut him down?

CRANE: May I go off the record briefly?

Go right ahead.

Thank you.

This is not for your ears, by the way.

You stupid bastard.

Cases rarely turn on what's legally relevant.

What you have to be concerned with here

is that All Shop makes $160 million

of pure profit a day, a day,

in gross revenues, $800 million.

In the 20 minutes it took the ambulance

to reach Mary Finnerty's crushed head,

your client took in $10 million.

That might slip out in court,

and even if it doesn't,

look at this face.

It comes with its own publicist.

The jury will get wind of those numbers.

In which case, we'll appeal.

CRANE: Great. And do you think

you'll be the lawyers to handle that appeal

when your client gets whacked

with a $50-million judgment?

You're an ass.

You're an ass.

You're an ass.

How about we settle this case

like your careers depended on it?

Dumb bastards.

I'm sorry. Where were we?

Leaving?

BERLUTI: I've been thinking about this

for a long time, and now--

Because you couldn't take that case?

In part, yes.

The truth is, I've always wanted

to hang my own shingle.

I'm 43 years old.

If I don't do it now, when, then?

Considering what we're going through now,

how can you even think of leaving?

You are.

You interviewed with Hollings and Gray last month.

FRUTT: Is that true, Eugene?

They called for an interview.

I declined.

No, you didn't.

I declined the job.

But not the interview.

You considered leaving, Eugene.

That's what I've been doing.

We just came to different conclusions.

Do you have any idea how difficult

it would be to launch a practice?

Probably not,

but I'm not coming totally from logic here.

This is emotional.

FRUTT: Given that,

why don't you at least wait

to see if this impulse passes?

The truth is, Ellenor,

I've been wanting to leave for a hundred years.

I love this and all of you,

don't get me wrong,

but what I really want to do,

deep down,

this isn't it.

I'll pitch in, handle cases,

whatever you need. I won't abandon you.

But I got to do this.

(sighs)

And when would you do this?

Today.

It needs to be now.

HEEP: I'm sick of her not respecting me.

I made law review at Holy Cross,

top 10% of my class,

and people totally dismiss me

because of the way I dress.

Well, then, let's talk about your dress.

HEEP: I get clients because of the way I look, Matthew.

People approach me--

Men approach you.

Yes, many of whom go on to hire me.

And is that how you plan to carve out your career?

You know, you're right.

Law review, top 10% of your class,

firms all over town should have been extending offers.

How many did?

Sally, you're an attorney.

I'm also 25, and I'm not gonna dress like I'm 40.

My legal skills are excellent.

I shouldn't get punished

because my skirts are short.

And you can tell Hannah I'm gonna hit her.

I don't care if she's a partner.

If she keeps treating me like this,

I'm gonna hit her.

(crying)

I'm sorry.

According to the seminars,

I'm not supposed to hug you,

but I'm gonna risk it.

Hey, hey, hey. Shh.

(crying)

Shh. Oh, hey. It's okay.

It's okay.

HALL: Munchausen's,

basically, it's a disorder that causes people

to make up or fake diseases.

ROSE: I know what it is.

Where did you get this?

I should say, how did you get this?

I don't think you mean to ask me that.

Was she ever actually diagnosed with Munchausen's?

She doesn't have it.

Then why is she on a hospital list?

HALL: It's computer generated.

If a person is admitted for treatment over and over,

the name eventually might end up

on a possible Munchausen list.

Even if the injuries are legit?

Shouldn't happen,

but one doctor along the way had to wonder

whether she was really abused by her father.

That's enough.

Do you have a second?

Sure.

I'm gonna ask you this

in a quiet, refrained tone,

so as not to seem like I'm attacking you.

How is it you could interview

with another law firm at--

YOUNG: Ellenor,

they wanted to meet.

I told them I was not interested.

They were persistent about at least talking.

I only agreed to hear them out.

I did.

I restated my position,

that I had no interest in leaving here,

and that was the end of it.

Was that before or after you fired Alan?

It was after the firm voted to discharge Alan Shore.

Eugene, I don't think I need to lecture you

on the importance of perception.

But for us, during an incredibly vulnerable period,

for our senior partner to be seen interviewing--

Nobody saw.

The word was out.

Jamie heard it.

She told Jimmy.

The word got out.

Forget that I'm your partner.

As your friend,

if you're planning to bail--

I'm not bailing.

(sighs)

Are we gonna survive, Eugene?

We'll survive.

I'm not bailing,

and we'll survive.

(sighs)

What can I tell his father?

That I'm meeting with the D. A. This morning.

Other than that,

Tara...

Copies of cases,

first circuit's on top,

Massachusetts is the second tab,

dictum and legislative intent after that.

Would you like me to come with you?

I would, actually,

but I'm too afraid you'll talk.

Would it kill you to be kind?

Actually, I was once, and it almost did.

Ah, so I get the blame for how you treat people.

Just the opposite, I give you total credit.

Hannah, I would hate to be the only one

to experience the tender you.

It's late.

I've got to go do good deeds.

Sheldon, I heard you settled.

Yeah.

$6.5 million.

Good result, the client's pleased.

$6.5 million...

you were stuck between $1.2 million and $2.3 million.

How did you get $6.5 million?

Denny did good work.

So I don't need to intervene today?

Don't you love it here?

These convictions are extremely difficult to get,

especially when the suspect and victim

once had a consensual relationship.

Well, their relationship--

I'm not saying I won't get it.

I'm just trying to prepare you, Mr. Watson.

(knocks on door)

Kenny, I, uh...

oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were busy.

Actually, I did.

(sighs) You're Candace Watson's father?

I am.

Hannah Rose,

I have the unfortunate task

of defending the man

who raped your daughter,

who, between the three of us,

I'm convinced is guilty.

What do you want, Hannah?

In the interest of no surprises,

medical report,

a claim you once abused your daughter.

I'm sure you didn't.

A hospital turned up her name

as a possible Munchausen's.

What is going on? WALSH: Hannah, if you

could excuse us, please?

If she makes things up--

WALSH: That's all, Hannah.

I'm leaving.

This can be used

to pierce rape shield,

which is vulnerable to begin with.

You might want to consider

sparing your daughter this trial.

WALSH: Hannah.

Get out.

Misdemeanor assault,

one year suspended, that's a gift.

None of us wants to go to trial here.

(door opens)

(door closes)

And the D. A. Agreed?

I just got the call.

Your son does get a conviction.

But no jail?

Assuming the judge signs off,

which he should.

Oh, thank God.

You can thank Hannah.

I don't know what to say.

He's a fine young man, Ms. Rose, and...

Mr. Solomon, I can see you're having a moment.

But for my take on the facts,

which includes an interview with the fine, young man,

he's a rapist.

If he's to make anything of this second chance,

daddy needs to see the fine, young man

for what he is

and get him into some counseling.

HEEP: They're all nuts.

QUINLEN: Who?

The partners.

They've all totally had work done.

They have?

Please. Denny Crane's head

is so pumped full of Botox.

Even Hannah, pretty Hannah.

Hannah Rose?

HEEP: Yeah.

She's in her 30s.

So what? She's pulled so tight,

she's got to cross her legs to smile.

Oh, my God.

(sighs)

I guess it's lucky I don't like to smile.

I was just--

Oh, my God.

How much do we pay you, Sally?

$160,000.

Do you think we pay you $160,000

to come down here to the storage room

and smoke pot, Sally?

No, ma'am.

It would be a mistake to call me "Ma'am."

Give me the joint, Sally.

Do you need to pee, Mark?

Yes, ma'am, sir,

Hannah.

God.

Go pee, Mark.

I, like,

so miscalculated my day.

I've had a lousy day, too, Sal.

I arranged for a rapist to get off

with just a slap on the wrist.

Now I need to go buy something

to feel better about myself.

I've been eyeing this little purse, actually,

it costs $900.

Can you imagine, $900 for a purse?

Luckily, I can afford it.

Partners here are well paid.

I bet you hope to be partner one day.

Complain about me to anyone ever again,

even to your own mother,

this little pot incident,

comes to light.

What the hell are you doing in my office?

Had you there again, didn't I, dad?

I've asked you not to make fun of my mental health.

As I recall,

I meant it.

If I offended you before, I apologize.

You know, you don't fool me.

My success as a trial attorney

comes from my ability to read people.

I read you.

I know your little secret, soldier.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

You're in awe of me.

Well, now that the secret's out,

let me tell you something, Denny Crane,

having watched you at the courthouse yesterday,

I just want you to know,

I am in awe.

You're Denny Crane,

and that's...

something.

You've taken up a minute of my time.

To whom do I send the bill?

Send the bill to me.

Best thing is, it's elegant.

You can go dressy, and it's casual.

It goes with a sweater and jeans just as well.

And the size...

Do you like to carry a lot of stuff?

Totally.

Let's go with the big one.

Oh, I'm jealous.

I've been saving up to get this same bag.

Well, look on the bright side,

if I saw it on you, I'd no longer want it.

Tell you what.

Give me half off,

I'll buy you one.

WATSON: If only I could.

Look, if you get home, and you suddenly hate it,

bring it back, no problem.

Not supposed to say it.

Never heard it.

What's the matter?

Hannah Rose?

You're an attorney?

Why?

My name is Candace Watson.

Your client raped me last week.

(scoffs)

Small town, Boston.

Just sign here, please, and you're good to go.

Look, I, uh,

(sighs)

WOMAN: You stinker!
