Why are we going to court?

I told you. I got a call from
a criminal who wants to hire me.

-Yes, but why am I going?
-Because I'm afraid of criminals...

-and I don't wanna go alone.
-Oh, look at that.

(whimpering, panting)

That is hot.

Oh, Elaine, do you think you
could control yourself?

Oh, I'm desperate, okay?

-I just signed up with Kimmy's matchmaker.
-You did?

It can't hurt.
They got Corretta and Richard.

(sniffing)

-(gasps)
-I can't believe you just did that.

(muffled) I know. I know. Neither can I.
Don't you-- Don't you dare tell anybody.

Who would believe it?
Other than him.

Can I smell yours now?

-Uh-oh.
-Hello.

He's not dangerous.

O-O--Okay. Uh--

(cell door slams)

Uh, Mr. Hall, um--

Um--Do--

-Do I know you?
-Not really. But thank God you're here.

-This is my assistant, Elaine.
-Hello, Elaine.

Hi.

Listen, um,
since your trial starts today,

I just don't think it's good
for me to just jump in--

The other lawyers
don't get it.

When I was at my arraignment,
I saw you in court.

Uh, I've been trying to track
you down ever since.

The clerk's office gave me
a picture book with the lawyers,

and that's how I found you.

Mr. Hall,

I don't specialize
in-in criminal law.

It doesn't matter.
You can fly.

-I'm sorry?
-You believe, Ms. McBeal.

I knew it the second I saw you.
You can fly.

-Why would you think that?
-Because you've done it.

First I want you to jot down what you're
all looking for, okay?

Tall, dark and handsome.

-Oh, please.
-Got anything with wattle?

-Uh, wh-why are we here?
-Just go with it.

I'm not gonna "just go with it," Corretta.
I'm not a "go with it" person.

You should be ashamed
of yourself, Ms. Pumple,

exploiting
the loneliness of others.

-Sorry I'm late.
-Oh, Elaine, you can go first.

Since some of us seem
to be resistant.

Now, specifically, what do you look for
in a man?

A pulse and a penis.
Not necessarily in that order.

I would like
a man who's kind,

who dreams of making love to me
as I sing a song on stage,

one song after another
after another after another.

-Okay, okay. Uh, Richard?
-Hmm?

Oh, uh, I look for many qualities
in a woman, Harriet.

Uh, honest, kind, funny. But mainly, I'd
like somebody thin who used to be fat.

Somebody who lost, say, 75
pounds and the stretched skin

just hangs from her neck.

You know, a kind, gentle woman
with, uh, drip wattle.

Ew. Make me vomit.

Maybe you should just stop complaining
and tell her what you want.

-Or tell her who, since we all know.
-Richard--

I'm just trying to help. I'm your friend,
your-your colleague, your, uh--Ally.

That does it.

It's silly. All right?

As curmudgeonly
as you can be, when you lash out like

that, it means you're hurting.

Are you?

You didn't find that deeply
humiliating? A matchmaker?

I find it deeply humiliating to keep
showing up at the bar alone.

I find it embarrassing
to always go home solo.

I-I-I gotta
tell you something.

In light of world events,
values have changed.

Your values have changed?

Mine? God, no.
But women's.

They don't care so much
about money anymore,

which renders you and I a lot less
attractive, and we need the help.

(sighs)
I'm lonely, John.

Really?

You don't think having a matchmaker is
just a little desperate?

I do.

And we're
not above desperate.

When we returned from the movies, we heard
the ruckus upstairs, and we knew.

-He was back.
-Who was back, Mr. Brickle?

The defendant. He'd broken into the house.
He was in my son's room.

You say, "He was back." Had he been
in your house before?

Oh, yes. Yeah. This was
the, uh, ninth time.

And what happened after you
heard the ruckus this time?

Well, I ran up the stairs,
figuring it was him.

I went into Timmy's room,
and there he was at the window,

with these huge
homemade wings on.

And what'd you do?

Well, before I could do
anything, he jumped.

-He jumped?
-Right out the window.

Uh--Uh, started flapping
his wings like a giant condor.

He landed on the ground
with a thud.

It isn't true. If I fell straight down,
I would have broken my legs.

Listen, what I would like to do is argue
diminished capacity.

Uh, technically,
it's an affirmative defense that

should have been raised before.

-But since I just started--
-Insanity? How am I insane?

Well, um--

No, you--you think
that you can, um,

fly.

(exhales)
What happened to you?

-Wh-What do you mean?
-You're a flyer.

I know you are.
When I saw you, I just--

Okay.
(laughs)

I--Okay, I--

I used to dream
that I could fly sometimes.

Ally,
if a person can dream--

Uh, listen, um-- So--(clears throat)
up next, you testify.

Now, you have to tell the jury, you know,
how you-you didn't break in to steal,

just to--to take,

uh, to the sky.

And as for now, you're free.
You can--You can go.

-I can?
-Yeah. I paid your bail.

It wasn't much, and-- Well, you're not
considered a--a flight risk.

(laughs)

Was it
when you tried to escape?

-I'm sorry?
-When you'd fly.

Uh, do-do you
have a second?

Why?

Well, I, uh--
I apologize.

No, what-what happened
this morning.

See, when I was seven, I-I-I smelled the
butt of a boy.

A boy that I later dated, and we used to
joke that it was love at first whiff.

And-And on some crazy,
impulsive lark,

I-I-I saw you bending over, and I
did not know that it was you,

and for old times' sake,
what the hell.

I-I'm going
through the stop-and-smell-the-roses

segment of my life,

and there were no roses
around, just your thorny--

-Sorry. I'm--
-Ally,

I'm sure you have a very high pressure
job. But me and my friends here,

we're not just
sexual objects put on the street for you

corporate women to drool over.

They're human beings.

In fact, that's Richie, Derek,
Alfonso and Big Mike.

-Say hello.
-Hello.

Thank you. And I promise not to objectify
you in the future.

I appreciate that.

So it was nice
seeing you anyway, again.

It's nice seeing you.

My brother's crazy,
Ms. McBeal.

Okay. Well, has he been diagnosed with a--
with a specific--

No. No, uh, there's no diagnosed mental
deficiency, but--

Well, he's-- he's become
dysfunctional lately.

He can't seem to hold a job. And these
incessant break-ins into our old house.

And all over this obsession
with flying.

-When did the obsession start?
-It's been lifelong.

When he was 10, he put a cape
on his back and jumped out

like he was Superman.

He broke both his legs. You'd think
he would have learned.

These break-ins
are the newest chapter.

Well, I'm trying to persuade him to go
with a diminished capacity.

He doesn't like
it when you call him crazy.

I know.

-Could he go to prison over this?
-This is his ninth offense.

He-He could go to prison
for a very long time.

I'm gonna meet him tonight, and I'm gonna
try to persuade him.

And you think with insanity,
he could get off?

Well, I, you know--
I don't know.

But I do know
that it's his only chance.

-Ally! Come in. Come in.

-Wow.
-It feels so good to be home again.

Well, you've got quite
a place, Harvey.

Uh, thank you. Um, have you
eaten anything?

Because I can make you
something if you like.

Uh, no, no. I'm fine.

But--But... thank you.

Look-- (chuckles)
at all of your-your wings.

Oh, a constant work
in progress.

See, the problem with just
jumping out a window is--

(chuckles) I couldn't get
enough thrust.

Um, this is my latest.
Look, look.

I have compensated with an exaggerated
air foil.

-This will give me additional propulsion.
-Feathers are-are just--

-Aren't they fabulous?
-Yeah.

Look at this.
You see this top layer?

This actually functions
as a suction.

Air passes. (blowing)
Sucks you upward.

My next jump, Ally.
I'm gonna make it.

-Harvey--
-I've been working out.

-You see, before, my-my triceps,
-Harvey--

they were not developed enough
for really strong flapping.

Harvey--

-But I am ready now.
-Harvey--

You need to let me argue
diminished capacity.

I'm not crazy.

I mean, it's not like I'd jump out of an
airplane without a parachute.

I've already done this well
enough not to get hurt.

-But why are you doing it?
-Because...

I just have to.
It's like a quest.

Remember Don Quixote?

He needed a quest.
He fought dragons.

Well, actually, they were windmills, and--
and Don Quixote was mad.

(chuckles, inhales)

You know,

when I first saw you
in-in court at my arraignment,

you reminded me of Dulcinea.

What's wrong?
Ally, uh, what's wrong?

Nothing. Uh--

It's just that my father used
to sing "Dulcinea" to me...

as I was growing up.

Tell me about
when you would fly.

-Harriet's got my man.
-Already?

How long could it take? She narrowed her
list to "anybody."

As a matter of fact, I made a special
request, which made her job a lot easier.

-Oh, "special request."
-Grumpy old man.

(door closes)

John.

I'm told sometimes you wear a body suit
to attract women?

You told her that?

Oh, it doesn't matter. What does matter,
John, is your heart.

It doesn't have to go
through life unloved.

Ms. Pumple, I do not wish
to engage your services.

Could I be more clear,
Ms. Pumple?

If you imply the "L"
into my name one more time,

(growling)
I'll drop you like a stone.

Your friends
care about you, John.

They think that
you're so lovesick...

that physically you're
starting to curdle.

It's true.
You used to be taller.

(door opens, closes)

That man needs
an intervention.

If he won't go to love,
then love needs to go to him.

I got sent to my room
all the time,

either as punishment
or because my parents didn't

want me to hear them fighting.

-But that's what first gave me the idea.
-To jump out the window.

To fly.

My parents fought a lot.

And I'd stand there
at my window,

dream of just... flying away.

Um,
so you'd, uh--uh--

-When your parents fought?
-Yes.

I was so afraid
they'd divorce.

So I'd stand there
at my bedroom window...

(man, woman arguing)

when I couldn't
drown them out with music.

(arguing continues)

It was a sense of escape.

The dream of it.

And it was quiet up there.

It was joyous,

and I wouldn't
hear them fighting.

I couldn't hear anger.

JUDGE WALSH:
Ms. McBeal.

-Ms. McBeal?
-Uh--Oh, sorry. So-Sorry.

Um, why did you start
going back to the house...

just to break in,
as an adult?

Well, as a kid,
that room, um,

it became like a prison.

There was a-a river
that ran behind our house.

It was about
a hundred yards behind.

And, um, I would think,
forget dreaming.

I really am gonna jump out and fly all the
way over that river.

Did you actually
attempt it?

Many times.
I always fell short.

Usually, uh,
breaking a bone or two.

When I left home
for college,

I eventually put
the obsession behind me.

But in the last 10 years,
it came back.

Why?

Well, I've never done
very well in my various jobs.

I became convinced
my esteem, uh--

Failure was a self-fulfilling
prophecy for me.

And it all stemmed from those botched
attempts to clear that river.

So I--I started thinking
about it again.

I couldn't not
think about it.

About a year or so ago, I started building
wings again, but better wings.

I just know I can do it.

-But why do you have to?
-I have to prove to myself that--

(sighs)

that I can fly.

My parents
would say that, uh--

that I'd never be successful because...
I was "off."

That was their word. "Off."

I guess I've always believed that
if I put my mind to something--

Well, the only thing I've ever really put
my mind to is clearing that river.

I just have to do it.

-Elaine, uh, where-where's your date?

Well, Harriet said
she was bringing him.

I wonder why it's taking her so long
to find anybody for me.

Well, you said you listed
intelligence as a criteria.

What intelligent man could
enlist a dating service?

-(coughs) Old man!
-Okay, I heard that.

Hello! Elaine!

Meet Victor.

(laughs)
Hello.

-Hi.
-Good to see you again.

You're even cuter upright.
Elaine Vassal. A pleasure.

Last names are optional with me,
but do you have one?

-Morrison.
-You know I sing.

Would you like
to hear me sing?

-Hello.
-Hey, Harvey.

-So--Well, I have good news.
-You do?

I spoke to the
D.A., who talked to the Brickles, and

they're gonna drop the charges.

-They are?
-On one condition.

That you put away your wings and you
never break in again.

Oh.

(sighs)
I have the wings to do it.

I've been thinking. Um,

if I were to stand on the roof
instead of the window,

I might get
more height and thrust.

Harvey, they are not gonna let you
jump off the roof.

Oh.

You know, uh,

even Don Quixote had to stop tilting
at those windmills.

But he rose up again
in the end.

Of all people, Dulcinea shouldn't be
telling me to quit.

You know, you
described it exactly.

My flying.

My parents would fight, and I would put
the headphones on.

And if that didn't work, I would stand by
the window and dream of jumping...

and flying.

I talked to one
of your doctors, and, um,

he said that they have this medication
that could really help you.

You talked
to one of my doctors?

Uh, yes.

The one
treating me for cancer?

You see,

time has suddenly become
of the essence, Ally.

And before I go,

I damn well will...

fly over that river.

want me to do.

My flapping is bound to get anemic,
so the time is now.

Is the flying about that?
Escaping death?

You can have an ambulance there
if it'll give you peace of mind.

I know
you can persuade them.

One lousy jump.

Are you out of your mind?

It's something that he
feels he has to do.

So what? You're supposed to be looking out

-Which I believe I'm doing.
-Marie--

He could be killed,

Since-Since when does it become a lawyer's
job to enable somebody's madness?

-I've landed safely before.
-From the second floor, not the roof.

Marie, you yourself maintain
I'm a victim of obsession.

So let's extinguish
that obsession and--

This could extinguish
your life, Harvey.

My life?
(sighs)

I'm, uh--

I'm dying, Marie.

-What?
-(chuckles)

I have a melanoma.

Look, I-I'm gonna
be getting treatment.

The doctors
are hopeful, but...

my flying days
are soon to be over.

-Why didn't you tell me this?
-Because you worry.

You've lived your entire life worrying
about me. You don't think I know that?

I know how much
you love me.

In light of that love,
I'm asking you.

Please,
don't fight this.

-Harvey--
-I wanna fly, Marie.

And I want you there
with me when I fly.

And, um--

And the--the Brickles,
they've--they've agreed to it?

Yes.

Does it have to be today?

I've got to go on chemo. The sooner I
clear that river--

Well, then--Uh--

Can I see these new
and improved wings?

Of course you can.
I'll show you right now.

-3:00, at the house.
-I'll see you there.

Uh--

W-W-What are you
doing here?

-I was looking for Elaine.
-Elaine?

Yeah. Some crazy matchmaker persuaded me
to at least meet her.

(laughs)
You-You were her-her date?

I've done crazier things, none of which
come to mind right now.

(snorting)

-You're not helping me any here.
-I know. Sorry.

It's just that it's--
(laughs)

No. Well, it went well.
You're here again, so--

Well--

-You're-You're here to dump her?
-Ally, she sang to me.

You know, uh--

Okay, listen,
you-you can't dump her.

Her singing, for whatever reason,
means everything to her, and--

If you reject her now, she's going to
assume it was because of her singing,

and-and it will
just devastate her.

You--I mean, you--
Go out with her once.

Break up with her
for her looks...

or her-her personality
or-or-or-or whatever.

You know,
she'll handle it, trust me.

But if you break up with her
for her singing,

I-I really believe
that that will kill her.

-(knocking)
-Ally?

I--Oh.

Victor.
What are you doing here?

-Actually, I came to see you.
-You did?

Elaine, I, um--

I was hoping you'd
have dinner with me.

-Uh, ticktock, John.
-I apologize.

-What is this meeting about?
-A friendly takeover, stocks, bonds. Love.

Stocks, bonds and love?

(laughs)
It's just a figure of speech.

John, and we can't do it without you.

Don't worry.
I won't get hurt.

-I might even make it all the way across.
-I sincerely hope you do.

-No, it-it seems so far.
-I'm gonna go check on the kids.

They're going to a friend's house
for the afternoon, uh, just in case.

-I go splat.
-Have you been up on that roof?

-It's a long way down.
-Yes, I have been up.

And, uh, wait till
you see my wings.

(sighs)
So, this was your prison.

Yep. Hmm.

The room dreams
are made of, I guess.

What are you looking at?

Oh, the--the-the view.

So tell me again.
Why are these wings better?

Much more aerodynamic.

And from the roof, more glide,
greater propulsion.

And with my new
fitness regimen--

You-You flap better.

(exhales)

From the second I saw you, I just knew
you'd help me get here, Ally.

Well, I'm not gonna be able to help you
get to the other side of that river.

This, uh, I know.

When the time comes,

you just be waiting
on the other side,

'cause that's
where I'll be coming down.

(police radio chatter)

Have you ever
tested them, Harvey?

Small jumps.
Uh, nothing like this before.

Just... be careful.

He's jumping off a roof and I'm telling
him to be careful.

(chuckling) Go across the river, Marie.
I'll be right over.

I wish Mom and Dad were alive.
They'd be proud.

-See you soon.
-Absolutely.

(sighs) You know, I feel like
I've known you forever.

Ally, I'm not dying.

I mean, I might be dying,
but not today.

Well, uh, whatever
happens up there,

you just promise me that you won't stop,
um, flapping.

(chuckling)
I promise.

-Go keep my sister company, okay?
-Okay.

Oh, Ally?

We have known
each other forever.

-It was Harriet's idea.
-I don't care.

You get an entire office full of people to
sing at me, "We gotta get you a woman"?

-Life is short, John.
-Well, it isn't that short,

and I refuse to
be lectured to by a man who, just last

night, was copping the feel...

of rag-like flesh dangling off the chin of
somebody's great-grandmother.

-I wasn't really interested in her.
-Then why were you with her?

I was trying to cure my fetish.
That was therapy.

-Clockwork wattle.
-Oh, just get out.

-It's getting old, John.
-What's getting old?

-Us!
-Wha--

What do you mean,
because we're nearly 40?

-No, because we're no closer to--
-To what?

I don't know whether falling in love and
having a family is it, John.

But the place
we're in now,

this is
definitely not it.

Wow. Something really
is going on with you.

Well,

it's about time.

Just look at him.

-Can you believe this?
-(gasping)

Uh--

(gasping continues)
Okay.

The conditions are good.

Flap hard, Harvey. Flap like
the madman you are.

(exhales)

How you doing, sir?

Fine. There's a--

There's a saying, which I'm, uh,
blanking on at the moment.

-"Now or never"?
-Yeah, that would work.

Okay.
Okay, systems check.

(breathing heavily)

Okay.

Thank you, Ally.

Thank me. I--

it was the happiest--

I'll never forget it.

My brother flew.

He flew.

Yes, he did.

Yeah. Well,

Marie.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

And I'm sorry for yours.

He told me you knew each other
for a long time.
