What are you doing?

I'm--I'm practicing for our party.

A party has to have dancing.

It's a total failure
if people don't dance.

We do not want the reputation
of giving bad parties.

I see.

Exactly why is it you feel
you have to practice?

-'Cause I haven't danced in months.
-What are you talkin' about?

-We dance three times a week.
-What?

-At the bar.
-Oh. Well, that isn't dancing, Renee.

Bar dancing is not dancing.

-It's not?
-No.

No. At the bar,
you just sort of model and move.

Watch.

Dancing is-is-is losing
yourself to the music.

It's as if you're not conscious
of anything else. It's as if...

you become the only one in the room.

Which brings me back to my question.

Billy, Georgia, John, Elaine,
all definites.

I'll have to invite Nelle,
but I'll do it at the last minute.

And Richard will probably want to
bring his little wattle of the month.

-[Elevator Bell Dings]
-Oh, I'll-I'll call you later.

-[Beeps]
-[Gasps]

Oh! Oh, I'm sorry. I--Oh, did I get you?

Oh, no, no. Only where I wanted it.

-I-I-I'm really sorry.
-That's okay.

At least I won't have to explain the spot,
'cause it's you I'm coming to see.

-What?
-I'm George Madison, your 9:00.

I'm here a little early.

You're--Oh.

Oh, well-- [Chuckles Nervously]

I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
I read your magazine religiously. I--

Well, I mean, I did before
you got, uh, you know--

You can say "fired." That's what it was.

Elaine's a friend.
She convinced me to sue.

I'm not a fan of litigation, but--

Well, if your rights have been trampled--

Uh, so--

Uh, I could clean up and then
see you in a few minutes.

Great.

-Where is the, uh--
-Oh, um, hmm.

Thanks.

I think it's my very best yet.

But even when I make my millions,
I want you to know I'll still work here.

What's going on?

She's invented customized condoms.

-Sorry?
-They come in vibrant colors,

as you can see,
with little sayings on the side.

-Sayings?
-You can read as you unfurl.

I've made up samples for all of you.

Richard.

Yours says "Bygones."
I think that's appropriate.

John. "Enjoy the moment."

Uh, Georgia. "Pay the bill."

I like the punnage on that.

Oh, and mine says, "Come here often?"

I'm not sure about the entendre.
I don't want to be vulgar.

Oh. And Ally.

-[Clears Throat]
-Perfect.

-"Take a number"?
-[Giggles]

-[Elaine] Don't you love it?
-No. "Take a number"?

Well, you are on the active side.

No, I'm not.

-I mean, not--not there.
-Come on. You're like an on-ramp.

No, no. I kiss a lot.
But--But I don't do--I--I do not.

-I'm troubled by my slogan.
-[George] Hello?

-Oh, hey, George.
-Hi.

Everybody, this is George Madison,

editor of La Femme magazine.

-These are the lawyers.
-Hi.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Mmm.
-Uh, ah, uh, uh, Richard Fish.

-Hi. A pleasure.
-Richard.

Uh, Ally and Georgia
will be handling your case.

We figured to put women on it,
uh, given the issue.

[George] Great.

I was just showing everyone my
customized condoms.

Aren't they fabulous?

"Caution: Frostbite"?

Oh. That's Nelle's.

And here's one for you, sweetie.

Aha. "Been there."

-[Chuckles]
-Very good.

-Is that her boyfriend?
-I don't know.

-Oh, he's cute.
-Really cute.

-How--What's the deal?
-What do you mean, "What's the deal"?

Well, how did she get
a cute, smart guy? Oh.

-He's married.
-Ah. Didn't see a ring.

Well, it's not like I'm not happy for her.
It's just that I--[Gasps]

-What?
-There's a--There--

Oh. Oh, very funny.

What?

Somebody put
a fake frog on the toilet seat.

-What little juvenile--
-[Croaks]

-[Screams]
-[Screams]

-He's on me! Get him! Get him! He's on me!
-No, you get it!

[Shouting]

Stefan. Stefan. Stefan.
Hold still. Let me get him.

-Let me get him.
-My hair. Did he pee?

-Come here, Stefan. Come here.
-[Groans] Stefan?

-He's Swedish?
-He escaped out of his container.

He must have hopped in here.

You have a pet frog?

He's a show frog.
I won't stand to be disparaged.

I'm not-- I'm not disparaging you.

-I--I just--
-I'm an amateur herpetologist.

I have the New England
regionals coming up next week.

I'll be bringing him in
for a little extra practice.

Settle. Settle.

Come here.

[Door Opens]

One minute I'm hero editor in chief.

The next second
it's "Clean out your office."

-And the reason they gave you?
-Religion.

-She actually said that?
-Yes.

-[Ally Sighs]
-There's an upcoming profile on me...

in the Times Magazine section.

It talks about me being a Baptist,

and as a preemptive strike, she fired me.

She went on record citing
religion as the cause?

The Baptist faith isn't terribly
progressive when it comes to women,

and Catherine thought
that my being a Baptist...

ran contrary to
the ideology of the magazine.

She's running scared
of any political fallout,

-best I can tell.
-I-If we file a motion ex parte,

we could actually go in today.

And the court can actually
force them to rehire me?

Well, they don't like to do that, but
who knows? You've got a really great face.

Case.

[Sizzling]

-[Croaking]
-He's got strong little legs.

He can push this top right off.

Wow. How long have you had the little guy?

Six years.

Six years? John, the longest
you've gone with a woman is three.

You've been with a frog for six?

Is there something you want, Richard?

Well-- How's it going with Nelle?

-What do you mean?
-Uh, I mean, how's it going?

I only intend to covet her
from afar. You know this.

Well, what about talking? Do you two talk?

Maybe a little.
My rehearsal buffer stiffens.

I never remember the conversations.

-Your rehearsal what?
-Buffer. Yeah.

The rehearsal buffer is the part of
the brain that transfers things...

from short-term memory to long-term.

Yeah. Well, my buffer
stiffens in her company.

Ah. Well, uh,
the-the next time you talk to her,

uh, could you, uh, discreetly,

ask her if Ling, uh, likes me?

You've been out on three dates.

I know. But, uh,

well, every time I go to kiss her,
she-she gives me the cheek.

-Maybe she's shy.
-Ling?

Oh, yes. The little wallflower.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Well, have you tried bells? You know--

♪♪ [Bells Tolling]

♪♪ [Ends]

I don't think that'll do it, John.

Uh, just talk to Nelle, if you can.

-Broach it.
-Uh-huh. You really like this woman.

Uh--

-Yeah. Richard?
-Oh. Yeah.

He was fired for his religion.
If that isn't blatant discrimination--

How can you have an editor
of a feminist magazine

who believes a woman's place
is in the home?

My client has never said
he personally believed--

Your client is a member...

of the Baptist community.

[Walsh] Hold on a second.

Are you saying then he was
fired for being a Baptist?

-It isn't that simple.
-The question was simple.

Yes or no?

[Exhales] This is--
This is a very gray area.

[Walsh] Yes or no?
I didn't ask for the color.

[Attorney] Well, I won't give you
a yes or no, and here's why:

The Baptist convention...

has declared as official doctrine
that wives should submit graciously...

to their husbands' male
dominance in the household.

Now, if you want to couch that as
a religious belief, fine. Do it.

But it can't be one that's protected.

If-If I may say, you're talking
about Southern Baptists, and my--

I'm not interested in church doctrines.
What does this man believe?

-Total equality.
-Come on.

You can't reconcile that
with what the church says.

I want an evidentiary hearing.

First, Ms. Hollings, I'll hear from you.
Then Mr. Madison.

Right now, I'll see
Ms. McBeal in chambers.

And only Ms. McBeal.

-Adjourned.
-[Gavel Raps]

Did--Did I do something wrong?

Sit, if you can.

Excuse me?

My courtroom, like every courtroom,
has an implied dress code.

As for what's inappropriate,

the standard is like the legal definition
of obscenity: We know it when we see it.

You will not be allowed into the room
again wearing a skirt that short.

-That's all.
-Well, you-you--

You can't do that.

I just did. You think I'm kidding?

I hope you're kidding.

One warning is all you get.

I don't think it's something
we can appeal.

It's unbelievable!

Would he ever pull a man into
chambers and tell him how to dress?

-If he dressed like that.
-Richard.

-Bygones.
-It's not that big a deal.

Just wear a longer skirt.

I am not gonna give into this.

[Billy] Ally, it's Walsh.
He will have you removed.

[Ally] And that isn't right.

It's a form of gender bias,
sex discrimination.

-I support you, Ally.
-Thank you.

I say you protest it by wearing
a pair of tight jeans.

Who's gonna throw that ass
out of the room?

[Both] Richard.

-What?
-Look.

Assuming you're right,
and he's out of line--

He is.

The mission is to get this man's job back.

If you go in challenging
the judge and getting him angry,

he's the one who's going to pay the price.

-I'll take that chance.
-[Billy] Excuse me?

-What?
-No.

He shouldn't be able
to tell her how to dress.

George, I can't really just ask
you to throw yourself on top of me.

Grenade. On top of the... grenade.

Hey. I like your hemlines.

I'm happy to jump on the cause.

Thanks.

Um, Nelle, I'm having a little
dinner party tomorrow night.

Of course you're invited.
I'm sure you've already made plans.

Actually, I haven't.

Oh. Great.

Then you can come.

I'd love to. I mean, it's not every day

I'll be getting an invitation
like this, will I?

[Chuckles] Probably not.

Um, uh, dates are welcome,

if you want to bring somebody.

Great. Great.

I suppose Billy's already going.

-Kidding.
-Hmm.

Look at the bright side.

She's bringing you and I closer together.

Maybe I should change.
I mean, not for him, but--

Well, don't do it for me.

I think maybe you should.
Why alienate the judge?

Just keep hidden behind the table.

Trust me, after that woman
tells her story,

the judge will have no choice
but to reinstate me,

-no matter what you're not wearing.
-[Man] All rise.

[Man] Be seated.

Let's hear from Ms. Hollings first.

You've been here less than a month.
They couldn't all hate you.

-I said the women all hate me.
-Well, you can't be upset about that.

Remember the adage?
"Success is never more sweet...

than when accompanied
by the failure of a friend."

-And?
-And, for that reason alone,

these women will all
want to get along with you.

Ling. Steal you a second?

I suppose.

Hi.

-[Rattles]
-Um--

Hey. Uh, Ally's having a little,
uh, dinner party tomorrow night.

-W-Would you like to come?
-As your date?

-[Cowbell Clangs]
-Uh, yes.

[Chuckles]

All right.

-[Cowbell Clangs]
-Yeah.

I don't care if they
get it from scripture.

If the message is "Men, dominate;
Women, submit," it's untenable.

But if, in fact, it's a religious view--

Oh, please.

It's a chauvinistic view.

You can't just say women are weaker
and then hide behind "God says so."

We're a feminist magazine.

How does it look
with an editor in chief...

who tolerates such a position,
much less endorses it?

He claims he doesn't endorse it.

And if a Klan member
tells me that he personally...

has nothing against blacks,
forgive my cynicism.

You're comparing the Baptist
faith to the Ku Klux Klan?

What I'm saying is that
sometimes silence can scream.

Him not renouncing his faith,
I lose advertisers.

Ms. Hollings, you never heard
Mr. Madison say he believes

that women should be submissive.

-True or false?
-True.

So he hasn't been fired for
anything that he has done here.

He's being discharged
because of what he is.

A chauvinist.

You assume he's a chauvinist
simply because he's a Baptist.

All it takes for misogyny to thrive
is for good men to do nothing.

Yes.

Just so we're all clear here,

his choice was either renounce
his faith as a Baptist, or lose his job.

-Correct.
-But he says he rejects...

the notion that women
should be submissive.

I can't have a Baptist
running my magazine,

even if he's one of the better ones.

The discharge is contrary to law.

Mr. Madison, you have your job back.

Ms. McBeal, you're in contempt of court.

Bailiff, take her into custody.

-What?
-We're adjourned.

-[Gavel Raps]
-Ma'am.

"Ma'am"? If I'm gonna
get thrown in jail...

for dressing like this,
you should at least not call me "ma'am."

Do-Do-Do I look like a "ma'am" to you?

She's in a cell right now?

He said he'd let her out
if she apologizes.

What is up with her?

She's throwing that dinner party
tomorrow night, Richard.

Did she just explain it?

It's a high stress thing.

Next to a wedding, the birth of a child,

for a woman, dinner party--

-Keep talking, Billy.
-It's true.

Look. What are we gonna do?

-This judge won't back down.
-I'll go talk to her.

But let's first let her sit there for
an hour or so,

so she understands this is real.

I suppose, underneath, you've
always known you'd end up in prison.

-[Chuckles] George, hey.
-Hey.

[Chuckles]

Listen. Why don't you apologize?

I don't even say I'm sorry
when I am, George.

I--It--

[Clears Throat, Sniffles]

[Blowing]

I'm--I'm allergic to criminals.

Well, I feel terrible.
You-You--You won the case,

I have my job back,
and you've been left to rot in jail.

Well, I'm dangerous.

[Chuckles]

[Chuckles] Come on.

After you.

Anyway, I came to thank you...

and to help you break out.

[Giggling]

How-How did you and Elaine meet?

Uh, at the U.S. Patent Office.

She was there about her face bra,

and I was doing some paperwork
on a--a thing I invented.

-What did you invent?
-Never mind.

No. Tell me.

It's kind of a... wiggle walk.

A wiggle walk?

-See? You're laughing.
-No. No, I'm-I'm not laughing.

I-- [Chuckles]

-Uh--
-A wiggle walk.

I have a slight herniated disk in my L4,

and I discovered,

with the right movement,
it would bring relief.

You-You-You got a patent on it?

When chiropractors start prescribing it,

it won't seem so silly to you anymore,
even though I happen to like silly.

You got a patent on a wiggle walk.

-I'm mighty proud too.
-[Chuckles]

Only one visitor at a time, so--

I'm--I'm going.

[Sighs] I'll see you tomorrow.

-E-Excuse me?
-At the party. I'm coming with Elaine.

-Oh. Right. Tomorrow.
-[Buzzer Buzzes]

Thanks again. You're a great lawyer.

Thanks.

-[Woman] Mmm!
-[Chattering]

[Woman #2] Hey, sugar.

[Woman] Where you goin'?

We got two choices here.

Apologize, or we move
for a contempt hearing.

That's what I want.

The apology strategy
is more of a sure thing.

I won't apologize.

Okay, then.
As your lawyer in this hearing,

I'm gonna need to tell the judge
the reason why

you wear your skirts this short.

-What is it?
-I like to.

-Give me something else.
-That's all I have.

Ally, you could spend
a lot of time in here.

Even if you don't,
do you need this kind of attention?

You want to be known
as the miniskirt attorney?

I don't want to be known...

as the attorney who let the judge
tell her how to dress.

Ally, as your friend--

You'll support me. Thank you.

[Prisoner Shouts, Indistinct]

♪♪ [Piano: Ballad]

I feel so responsible.

Oh, George. Ally makes her own bed.

There's no reason you have to lie in it.

What's that supposed to mean?

Shouldn't we be celebrating
you getting your job back?

Sure. Sure.

I have an honorary condom
to celebrate the decision.

Oh. Yeah.

"Reinstate me."

[Chuckles]

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Anything?

No official dress code codified.

-What about the local rules?
-Nothing.

Nothing saying there
can't be a dress code either.

[Toilet Flushes]

We're spinning sand.
He's got judicial discretion.

A lot of judges do make men wear ties.

I can't believe she's actually
spending a night in jail.

[Toilet Flushes]

Listen. How about letting me
argue the contempt hearing?

Are you hoping to extend her sentence?

I've done a lot of gender
discrimination cases.

-I think I can help.
-[Toilet Flushes]

-[Door Opens]
-Oh, John.

I'm glad you're here. I want everybody
in that courtroom tomorrow.

Isn't that a little overkill?

When somebody in this firm
is under attack, we're all under fire.

We stand united.

What "somebody"? It's always Ally.

One for all, and all for me. Uh, one.
Imagine you in her place, Georgia. Hmm?

[Elevator Bell Dings]

I said I'd hear you.

But if you all plan to speak,
you're wasting your time.

The only one who need
address me is the defendant.

-Me?
-Yes, you.

Oh.

Well, um, I hadn't really
prepared anything,

so this would be off the cuff.

You're a pig.

And we're all sorry for that.

-Put her back in custody.
-[Nelle] Your Honor,

if I could briefly be heard.

Go ahead.

Nobody is denying the respect that should
be afforded to you and this courtroom.

And if she were in here in ripped clothing
or tennis shoes, that would be one thing.

But you're penalizing her basically
because her attire is too sexually risqué,

and that isn't right.

If it undermines
the credibility of this forum--

Why should it? That very assumption...

endorses the myth that a sexually
attractive woman can't have credibility.

That's a prejudice. It's bad enough...

the legal profession
is still an old boys' club.

Why should we have to come in
here looking like old boys?

Nobody's asking her to look like a boy.

Every billboard and magazine cover...

tells us we should look like models.

All the while, we have
to fight the mind-set...

"If she's beautiful, she must be stupid."

I fight it too,

and I bend to the prejudice.

I don't have her courage.

If I did,

I might come in here
and... let my hair down once.

If I didn't care about people...

automatically thinking I'm a bimbo,

I might not always wear jackets.

But people--men and women--

draw unfair conclusions.

We've come to expect the bias.

But not from judges.

What's most disappointing here--

You saw this woman perform in court.

You heard her argue. She won her case.

And you're still judging her on hemlines.

What do we have to do?

Ms. McBeal,

do you have anything else?

[All] No!

Only, you know, um,
the obvious, Your Honor.

Which is?

I wish I had her hair.

I see.

To George getting his job back,

those nasty little skirts as a signature
of progress for womankind.

Hear, hear!

-Who's up?
-Hear, hear.

I got a question.
Since we're celebrating...

your wearing those
itty-bitty little skirts--

[Renee] Ben.

-What's the deal?
-There is no deal, Ben.

A woman is entitled
to her own individuality.

You-You do agree with that?

I do, but the only thing covering your
individuality right now is a napkin, so--

[Richard] Let's just change
the subject, shall we?

-Ling, tell us why you dress trampy.
-It gives me an edge.

What do you mean "an edge"?

[Ling] I work at a manufacturing plant.
It's filled with men. I'm the manager.

They have to have confidence in me,

believe I'm smarter than them.
The wine is terrible.

And dressing skimpy--

Engages the penis. There's nothing
dumber than the horny toad.

-[Chuckles]
-This is not dinner conversation.

[All] Quiet.

You know, you talk about men
being chauvinists.

I think women are more prejudiced.

-[All] Why?
-Because you assume...

that when we get aroused
we can't think straight.

-[Renee] It's true.
-What I don't understand--

men see this knockout babe,
assume she's stupid and get turned on.

Do men really get aroused by stupidity?

I do.

Ling's the exception. Broccoli?

-This isn't funny.
-No. No, it's not. It's sad.

[All Laughing]

You know what?
I don't like this conversation,

and I don't like being lumped into
some male Neanderthal group.

Maybe next time I'll start
walking around with Speedos...

to get some individuality.

[Laughs] That was crackerjack.

-What did you say?
-You heard me.

Somebody pass something.

You know what I find ironic?
We have to dress...

a certain way to lure a man,
but once we get him,

he stops us from dressing that way.

Can we get off clothing, Elaine?

I'm just trying to fill the dead
air of a hostile room.

It's not hostile. It's quiet 'cause
everybody's loving the damn food.

[John's Nose Whistles]

-May I say something as an outsider?
-Good luck.

-[All] Quiet.
-Quiet.

See?

There's a lot of stuff in this room.

It can't be about her skirts.

I find that when the food
is served late, all--

Ben...

this truly would be the time
for you to remain silent.

My two cents. What Nelle
said in court today--

there's enough truth in that...

to tap into some genuine frustration,
if not anger, that working women have.

And men--we do get a little sick of being
portrayed as testosterone-driven mutts.

Is that the two cents?
I'd be looking for change.

Oh, well, by all means,
let's hear your opinion, Richard.

Simple. Men and women. Friction.

[George] That's it? Friction?

Friction, friction, friction,
orgasm. Fishism.

Are we gonna dance or not?

-[Richard Laughs]
-[Georgia Laughs]

[Richard] Well,
I--We were just in the bathroom--

You certainly seem a little bothered.

-Me?
-Yeah.

Getting all hot over
that Neanderthal stuff.

Since when do you care that men are pigs?

[Chattering]

-[Georgia] Look who's talking.
-[Richard Chuckles]

You know what's beginning
to bother me, Ally?

[Chuckles] What?

[Chattering, Laughter]

-Never mind.
-Oh, come on. What?

This thing about your skirts--

Who cares, really?

But our whole office basically had
to shut down to address it today.

Every one of us marched
into court, which is okay.

You were under attack, and we rallied...

because we like to think
of ourselves as a team.

And what do you do?

You call the judge a pig.

You just walk in there as Ally McBeal,

forgetting or ignoring that what
you do in court reflects on all of us.

And tonight,

you're so worried people might
not have fun at your party.

Not that you actually care
whether we have fun or not.

It's more about
your own success as a host.

You, uh,

really believe all that?

We're all here too, Ally.

Once in a while,

it would be nice if life were
more than just your party.

Then why--

My problem is I attach too much
