1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,220
Previously on L .A. Law. May have been a
babe in the woods when I was thrown in

2
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:08,560
here. But when I'm released, watch out.
I will not go quietly.

3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:10,400
Of course, until you've been in the
inside.

4
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:11,620
You can't understand.

5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:13,820
What saw you through the darkest moment?

6
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:15,380
Soap and a rope.

7
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,080
Thank you.

8
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:23,740
It's just back issue of the journal.

9
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:26,560
You mean those flowers weren't from you?

10
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:28,240
No. Oh, God.

11
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:32,200
Oh, don't be... No, I know. I should
have... Please.

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Do you want a raise? I can speak with
Douglas.

13
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:42,080
Arnie, I want to have a baby.

14
00:00:43,580 --> 00:00:44,580
Rox, I don't know.

15
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:47,300
I mean... Not with you?

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:49,480
Don't look at me.

17
00:00:59,180 --> 00:01:03,340
Ann, he's mine. No, Stuart. Ann, I saved
him all by myself.

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,320
Stuart, please. We'll talk about it when
we get home. No, not without Lincoln.

19
00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:08,378
He'll be fine.

20
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:12,960
No! Stuart, we're going home now. I'm
not going home. I'm not going home. I'm

21
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,360
not going home. I'm not going home. I'm
not going home. I'm not going home. I'm

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,360
not going home. I'm not going home. I'm
not going home. I'm not going home.

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,600
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.

24
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:18,860
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,480
I'm not going home.

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,540
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.

27
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:24,660
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.

28
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:25,579
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.

29
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:28,520
I'm not going home. I'm not going home.
I'm not going home.

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,990
I'm Matty's afraid I'm out of luck. I'm
going to have to give him back. Give him

31
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:32,889
back?

32
00:01:32,890 --> 00:01:35,090
Stuart, he's your dog.

33
00:01:35,570 --> 00:01:36,570
Was my dog.

34
00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:39,690
Oh, you're the one who found Lincoln and
brought him to the office. Yeah, but

35
00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:40,950
you brought him to my house.

36
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:42,650
Let's not get contentious.

37
00:01:43,210 --> 00:01:44,750
Contentious? I was trying to be nice.

38
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:47,110
Get off there!

39
00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:48,550
Oh, you see? See how good he listens?

40
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:51,290
That's not the point. I don't care if
he's Ren Tintin.

41
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:53,330
Lincoln!

42
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:57,070
What a good dog. Stuart, I'm not buying.

43
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:58,660
So stop selling.

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,700
The last thing I need in my life right
now is a dog.

45
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Oh, no.

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Oh, damn it! Lincoln!

47
00:04:42,190 --> 00:04:45,250
He may not look it, but he could make a
great watchdog. You two aren't

48
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,350
listening. Shall we get started?
Jonathan, I'm afraid that keeping

49
00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:51,850
out of the question. He's going to make
a constant companion for you. People,

50
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:53,310
please, settle this later.

51
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:58,550
First, some internal business. After
careful consideration, Roxanne has

52
00:04:58,550 --> 00:05:00,030
to step down as office manager.

53
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:01,350
What? Are you leaving?

54
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:04,450
No. No, it's just that, well,

55
00:05:05,410 --> 00:05:10,670
my life, what I'm trying to say... This
was a personal decision for Roxanne,

56
00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:13,360
the... nature of which I'm not at
liberty to discuss.

57
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Suffice it to say, she's working for me
again. A remarkable feat, considering

58
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,200
not long ago you two were fathers of the
ceiling together.

59
00:05:20,780 --> 00:05:22,520
I'm going to miss working for you,
Douglas.

60
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:27,280
On to the business that pays the bills.
Calvin versus Susan Bidwell in the

61
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,540
California Coalition for the Deaf. I'm a
member of the board of the coalition,

62
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:31,739
as some of you know.

63
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:37,040
Suzanne Bidwell is president and a
friend. Coalition policy favors hiring

64
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,500
promoting deaf employees.

65
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:43,830
I'm defending against an anti
-discrimination suit, pro bono. Hardly

66
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:47,490
unreasonable, given the nature of the
group. Yes. Well, one hearing employee,

67
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:50,050
denied advancement, has taken exception.

68
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:51,810
Must feel good going back to court.

69
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:56,870
I'll let you know. As much as it pains
me to lose billable hours, Leland, I

70
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:57,870
applaud your commitment.

71
00:05:58,430 --> 00:06:01,890
Next, Elaine versus Flickr, and you
thought you'd never practice

72
00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:06,050
law? Handling Ben Flickr's daughter's
divorce isn't what I had in mind. Arnie,

73
00:06:06,210 --> 00:06:08,070
the Ben Flickr.

74
00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:09,179
Who's that?

75
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:10,180
Oh, you must remember.

76
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,660
Six guns, five bullets?

77
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,780
Slow down, Sundown.

78
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,520
I don't remember. I cry every time I see
Lonely Spurs and Saddles. Was he an

79
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,500
actor? Every Sunday, my father would
take me to Nate and Al's. There was

80
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,060
dressed to the nines, holding court,
enjoying his whitefish, even during the

81
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:26,740
days of the Hollywood blacklist. The
director? Flickr really stood up to Joe

82
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:30,780
McCarthy? Well, actually, he sang like a
canary, but he was right at the center.

83
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:32,420
Still is, running Worldwide Studios.

84
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,280
Will somebody please tell me who the
hell has been Flickr?

85
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:39,550
He's a movie producer.

86
00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:41,930
Old time. Very successful.

87
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:45,110
Although some people think his star is
fading.

88
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:46,430
Thank you very much.

89
00:06:48,310 --> 00:06:53,090
You can all relax. I just wanted an
answer. I'm not going to throw a chair

90
00:06:53,090 --> 00:06:54,090
through the window or anything.

91
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:56,430
Move along, Douglas.

92
00:06:57,970 --> 00:07:02,530
Tesla versus Belkin Pharmaceuticals. He
was highly recommended.

93
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:05,470
I can't wait to meet him.

94
00:07:06,190 --> 00:07:07,190
Okay, bye.

95
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Well?

96
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:12,200
Well? What was that about?

97
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,760
My new hairdresser.

98
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:18,240
I'm getting a head net. Oh, I thought it
was of seminal importance.

99
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Finding someone to bother your child.

100
00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:32,160
Arnie, three things. First, nobody
around here is supposed to know about

101
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,059
except you.

102
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:35,900
What, wasn't I discreet in the staff
meeting? Second, you're acting like some

103
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:37,780
misguided mother -in -law.

104
00:07:38,170 --> 00:07:41,390
Are you implying that I'm nosy? And
third, you're going to be late for your

105
00:07:41,390 --> 00:07:42,990
lunch with Flickr. On my way.

106
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:46,590
You want me to get you the IQs of every
bachelor in the California bar?

107
00:07:46,990 --> 00:07:51,650
Arnie. Rox, I just want what's best for
you. I know, but this is a big decision.

108
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:53,350
I'm going to have to make it myself.

109
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:55,490
You'll tell me when you pick the guy,
right?

110
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:56,950
Oh.

111
00:07:58,590 --> 00:08:02,130
I understand. I really do. You must
follow your own internal impulses.

112
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:04,270
Feng Liu, Rox.

113
00:08:05,390 --> 00:08:06,470
Feng Liu, you too.

114
00:08:06,730 --> 00:08:07,730
Means blow the wind.

115
00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:09,170
You better flow yourself.

116
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:11,350
Ben Flicker doesn't like to be kept
waiting.

117
00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:13,370
How do I look?

118
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:15,590
Like a high -powered entertainment
lawyer.

119
00:08:15,930 --> 00:08:16,930
In your lips.

120
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:19,230
Good morning.

121
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:24,550
When I plug this in, the thing just went
kaflooey. You mean kablooey.

122
00:08:24,890 --> 00:08:27,730
Benny, just find me another cassette
recorder as soon as you can.

123
00:08:28,030 --> 00:08:32,409
Yes, sir. I'll load one today. I'm ready
to write my book. I intend to stripe

124
00:08:32,409 --> 00:08:33,409
while the iron is hot.

125
00:08:34,429 --> 00:08:36,130
Okay. Lincoln's a great dog.

126
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:42,039
It's just not the right time. Daniel,
Daniel, every kid needs a stray dog. Not

127
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,640
until Lucy's potty trained. That goes
for Lincoln, too.

128
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,180
Some paper, some kibble. How hard can it
be? You're going to find out.

129
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:50,380
I'll take her, Mr. Morales.

130
00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:51,660
Here you go.

131
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:54,240
We'll grab her bottle.

132
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:01,740
Fresh pot?

133
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,960
Put it myself.

134
00:09:12,579 --> 00:09:16,240
Listen, about the other night when you
kissed me. You kissed me?

135
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:18,620
Yeah.

136
00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:22,720
I just want to let you know. Look, it
didn't mean a thing.

137
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Good afternoon.

138
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,800
Name? Becker, Arnold Becker. Here to
see?

139
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:51,839
Ben Flicker.

140
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,840
Ever heard of him?

141
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,780
You must be very important.

142
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:59,800
You probably know that Mr. Flicker hates
to be kept waiting. Yes, I do.

143
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Gee,

144
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,340
don't seem to have your drive on. Come
on, you gotta have... Pull over there

145
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,340
we'll call Mr.

146
00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:10,640
Flicker's assistant and see what she can
do. Fine.

147
00:10:11,260 --> 00:10:13,740
I've spoken to Rita on the phone dozens
of times.

148
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,720
Me too. I'm her son.

149
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,480
I was

150
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:27,540
Suzanne's

151
00:10:27,540 --> 00:10:31,440
interpreter when the California
Coalition for the Deaf was founded 12

152
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:32,660
What do you do today?

153
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,960
I'm fundraising coordinator for the
coalition.

154
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:36,259
You like your job?

155
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:40,200
I did. Until Suzanne created a vice
presidential position above me.

156
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,580
and hired someone less qualified to fill
the spot.

157
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:49,000
You know why Ms. Bidwell hired this
person and not you? Yes. She said,

158
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
he's deaf.

159
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,680
Were you surprised that this applicant
received preferential treatment?

160
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,920
Not really. About two years ago, Suzanne
began instituting policies favoring

161
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,739
deaf employees.

162
00:10:59,740 --> 00:11:02,740
She developed a more separatist
attitude.

163
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:04,780
And you feel you've suffered because of
this?

164
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:08,920
Absolutely. According to Suzanne, I'm
not executive material because I have

165
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,920
good ears.

166
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:14,590
If her employment decisions were based
on merit, I'd have the job I deserve.

167
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:16,090
Thank you. Nothing further.

168
00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:23,990
Mr. Calvin, doesn't the job to which you
aspired require public appearances?

169
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:28,190
Face -to -face meetings with potential
donors in the non -hearing constituency?

170
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:33,370
Yes, in part. So image is an important
aspect of that job?

171
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:37,510
Suzanne presents a formidable image as a
capable deaf person. There's no need

172
00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:39,670
for all of her executives to be deaf as
well.

173
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:42,210
Besides, at least half the job is
administrative.

174
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:44,390
Making decisions on deaf issues?

175
00:11:44,750 --> 00:11:49,370
Yes. Do you believe you have a full
appreciation and awareness of what it's

176
00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:50,530
to be unable to hear?

177
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:54,270
I've spent most of my life working with
the deaf or hearing impaired.

178
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:56,110
My younger brother is deaf.

179
00:11:57,290 --> 00:12:01,990
I'd say my level of awareness is very
high. Would you agree that a deaf person

180
00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:05,610
has an even higher level of awareness?
Of what it's like to be unable to hear?

181
00:12:05,710 --> 00:12:09,230
Sure. But I don't... Sir, earlier you
mentioned that you and Miss Bidwell

182
00:12:09,230 --> 00:12:13,290
agree on how the deaf and hearing
community should interface, that she had

183
00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:15,070
adopted a more separatist attitude.

184
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:18,750
Suzanne's militant posture has turned
off a lot of people. Which, my

185
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:22,850
understanding, since Miss Bidwell became
more outspoken, donations have risen

186
00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:26,190
nearly 40%. That's due as much to my
efforts as hers.

187
00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:31,710
So... you get all the credit, and
Suzanne Bidwell gets only the blame. I'm

188
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:36,290
one being wronged, not her. That's an
interesting perspective, Mr. Calvin.

189
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:37,870
That's all, Your Honor.

190
00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:45,290
I have you right here, table for three.
Excuse me, I'm meeting Ben Flicker. You

191
00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:46,290
are late. Yeah, yeah.

192
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:47,690
Follow me.

193
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:48,850
I'll be with you in a moment.

194
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:50,190
I'm sorry.

195
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:57,250
I love the script.

196
00:12:57,570 --> 00:12:58,970
You're always on my mind.

197
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:00,670
Mr. Flicker. Back in.

198
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,870
Sorry I'm late. Stop with the excuses.

199
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:07,150
Sit, sit, sit. Oh, this is some studio
you have here. Certainly no shortage of

200
00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:08,150
beautiful women.

201
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:11,070
For a woman to be a movie star, she's
got to be beautiful.

202
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:12,890
And strippable, understand?

203
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:17,090
For a woman to be pretty much anything,
she has to be strippable. Hey, no dirty

204
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:18,510
talk. Oh, I'm sorry.

205
00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:21,270
So let me ask, what do you think about
all these movies where the girls keep

206
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,270
taking off their clothes?

207
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,860
Well, you know what they say, the
sexiest part of the human body is the

208
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:27,140
imagination. Really?

209
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:32,680
What's hot is all up here. Good for you,
Becker. I'm glad you enjoy a woman's

210
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:33,680
mind. Me?

211
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,300
I like big boobies.

212
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:43,020
Yeah.

213
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,080
He's here.

214
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:49,620
Send him in. Don't call Stuart.

215
00:13:56,540 --> 00:13:59,440
Detective Fowler, I'm surprised to see
you. I was in the neighborhood, thought

216
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,440
I'd take a chance.

217
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,040
Please.

218
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,540
Possible for your husband to join us?

219
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,760
No, he's busy.

220
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,440
Can I help?

221
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,100
Last night there was a gang disturbance
in South Central. We arrested two men we

222
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:15,360
believe attacked your husband.

223
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:19,720
A search of their apartments turned up
some credit cards and this.

224
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,860
That's our wedding picture.

225
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Stuart carried it in his wallet.

226
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,660
We need your husband to identify these
men in a lineup.

227
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:33,460
Today? We've only got them locked up for
72 hours unless the DA files charges.

228
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Are you sure that these are the men that
beat my husband?

229
00:14:36,140 --> 00:14:40,000
No, ma 'am. That's why we need Mr.
Markowitz to ID them. Go a long way to

230
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,340
putting together a case. The last time
you showed Stuart photographs, he didn't

231
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:44,239
recognize anybody.

232
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,080
Maybe we'll have better luck this time.
It's our only hope for the moment.

233
00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:53,620
Have your husband call me as soon as he
can. Otherwise, these two go free.

234
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:56,490
No. These bastards have to be
prosecuted.

235
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:59,470
We'll be there.

236
00:15:04,830 --> 00:15:10,810
Back then, a marriage vow wasn't
bumpkin. I was with my Ellen for 21

237
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:12,490
Unusual name, my Ellen.

238
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:16,130
Used to be Mary Ellen, till Ben Gurion
was our house guest in 58.

239
00:15:16,410 --> 00:15:20,790
Which reminds me... Just a minute with
the D -I -V -A, you know the rest.

240
00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:22,050
Rico!

241
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,820
Don't sneak up on me like that.

242
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:26,060
Chris.

243
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:33,640
No, no. No, thank you. Trust me. After
noshing in this commissary, these

244
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,960
are just the ticket.

245
00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:39,300
The way I see it, under California
law... That's fine.

246
00:15:40,619 --> 00:15:44,440
Since Francine supported Brett, he's
entitled to continued support in the

247
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,440
to which he's become accustomed.

248
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Of course, just because something was
written in stone doesn't mean we can't

249
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,800
a little sandblasting.

250
00:15:51,260 --> 00:15:54,260
Metaphor. I like that. Ever think of
becoming a writer?

251
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,960
Never. Good.

252
00:15:55,980 --> 00:15:59,480
They're a pain in the tuchus. We might
be able to convince a jury that Brett,

253
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,760
aspiring actor, married Francine solely
to get on the good side of one of

254
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Hollywood's most powerful men.

255
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,700
Of course that guy married her to get to
me, which is not to be construed that I

256
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:12,620
don't think my Francie is wonderful or
all goyim a treif. Let me ask you

257
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:13,620
something. Did...

258
00:16:25,939 --> 00:16:26,939
Excuse me?

259
00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:32,040
By

260
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:39,240
the

261
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,980
way, what kind of name is Becker?

262
00:16:46,670 --> 00:16:47,670
She's gorgeous.

263
00:16:48,130 --> 00:16:49,490
Like her dad.

264
00:16:50,430 --> 00:16:53,550
He's a hard read. Always puts me off
balance. So serious.

265
00:16:54,330 --> 00:16:55,430
Not with Lucy.

266
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:57,550
Always so playful and gentle.

267
00:16:58,010 --> 00:16:59,410
He's a wonderful father.

268
00:17:01,550 --> 00:17:03,410
Did you ever think about having a baby?

269
00:17:04,369 --> 00:17:05,369
Once.

270
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:11,510
I dated this teacher's assistant in
college. Strong, smart, tall, perfect

271
00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:13,450
What happened?

272
00:17:14,109 --> 00:17:18,430
I realized that perfect teeth weren't
the only criterion for fatherhood.

273
00:17:18,569 --> 00:17:23,290
Roxanne, any idea where you... Any idea
where you put last month's accounts

274
00:17:23,290 --> 00:17:27,849
receivable? Outside your office, file
cabinet, lower drawer, right -hand side.

275
00:17:28,170 --> 00:17:29,870
Where? I'll get it.

276
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:32,150
Men are so helpless.

277
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:36,130
That's why when I do have a baby, it's
going to be a little girl.

278
00:17:36,670 --> 00:17:38,030
It's going to be a little girl.

279
00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:41,290
Hi, stranger.

280
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:43,240
Hey, Roxanne. What's the occasion?

281
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,540
I'm meeting with Daniel about the
Purcell brothers.

282
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:49,160
You know those two chuckleheads who
sushied their parents with samurai

283
00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:50,519
Aren't they in prison?

284
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,940
Yeah. Daniel lost this one. But now the
executor of the Purcell estate wants to

285
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:56,300
auction off the murder weapons.

286
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,100
I want to try and stop it.

287
00:17:58,860 --> 00:17:59,860
Oh, careful.

288
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,080
We wouldn't install the speed bump.

289
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,740
Lincoln's looking for a home.

290
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,819
These days?

291
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:06,820
Who is it?

292
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:19,470
Francie? Hello?

293
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:23,130
Johnny Becker?

294
00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:25,230
Sorry.

295
00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:27,450
I thought you were Brett.

296
00:18:27,730 --> 00:18:30,770
You expecting him? He's coming by to
pick up some stuff.

297
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:38,890
Wow. This is, uh... This is some kind of
a place you have here.

298
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:40,910
I need my work.

299
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:42,270
I'm a sculptor.

300
00:18:44,170 --> 00:18:45,230
Is this one of your pieces?

301
00:18:45,630 --> 00:18:47,010
I just started it.

302
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:49,150
What are you making?

303
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:50,910
Who knows?

304
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:52,890
I haven't felt very inspired lately.

305
00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:54,970
Yeah, I can understand.

306
00:18:55,390 --> 00:18:56,390
Francie!

307
00:18:58,110 --> 00:18:59,110
Francie!

308
00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:02,109
Who are you?

309
00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:03,670
Who are you? I asked you first.

310
00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:04,970
I'm Francie's attorney.

311
00:19:05,290 --> 00:19:08,810
Must really torque the old man he's got
to pay me off. I'm Francie's lawyer, not

312
00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:09,810
Mr. Flickard.

313
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:11,770
Yeah, right. And I'm Tom Cruise.

314
00:19:13,399 --> 00:19:15,760
Yeah, Francie's capable of making her
own decisions.

315
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,060
Obviously, you don't know her.

316
00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:23,300
Because if you did, you'd understand how
easy it is to fall out of love with

317
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:27,280
Fran. Hey, Mr. Lane, why don't you save
this performance for the courtroom?

318
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:29,300
Tell my soon -to -be ex that I stopped
by.

319
00:19:29,780 --> 00:19:33,180
And be sure to mention how much I love
what she's done with that slab of

320
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,260
It's only been that way for two months.

321
00:19:42,270 --> 00:19:43,270
Francie.

322
00:19:43,670 --> 00:19:44,670
Mr. Becker.

323
00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:46,710
Can we please do this tomorrow?

324
00:19:48,810 --> 00:19:49,810
Yeah.

325
00:19:52,370 --> 00:19:53,370
I'm sorry.

326
00:20:08,970 --> 00:20:10,890
We'll be contacting you on Monday.

327
00:20:12,139 --> 00:20:13,680
Thanks very much for coming in.

328
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,020
Ann? Ann, I just got a call from
Detective Fowler. I can't believe you

329
00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:20,300
tell me about this. Not here.

330
00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:22,920
Not here. We'll talk about it another
time.

331
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Not here.

332
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,620
Stuart certainly changed.

333
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Who would be the same after what he
suffered through?

334
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:31,180
The riots affected us all.

335
00:20:31,820 --> 00:20:35,580
Douglas, you may think you're a
different person, but you're not. I

336
00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:38,720
And you realize just how wrong you are
when you read my book.

337
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,360
Can I wait and see the movie?

338
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,200
to say yes, not without asking me about
it.

339
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,260
Come in.

340
00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:10,580
Look, about what I said.

341
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:11,820
Me first.

342
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,820
I wasn't being honest earlier.

343
00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:19,440
Your kiss brought out the Cinderella in
me.

344
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,140
Although I identify more with Snow
White, which isn't to say I'm a virgin.

345
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,240
I didn't send it.

346
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:48,460
You didn't?

347
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:50,380
No.

348
00:21:51,220 --> 00:21:53,040
Have I traveled far for this?

349
00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:55,300
Just to part with but one kiss?

350
00:21:58,420 --> 00:21:59,420
Lovely couplet.

351
00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:00,940
It's not mine.

352
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,720
Oh, I knew that.

353
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,340
Um, I... I...

354
00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:20,030
Ms. Bidwell, please tell the court why
you made the decision not to promote Tom

355
00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:21,830
Calvin to the position of vice
president.

356
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:25,470
Because Tom Calvin is not deaf.

357
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:29,650
You're stating that being deaf is one of
the requirements for the job? Yes.

358
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:33,250
A hearing person could do that job, but
not as effectively.

359
00:22:33,850 --> 00:22:38,750
Allocating funds, establishing
priorities, a vice president makes

360
00:22:38,750 --> 00:22:40,730
directly affect the deaf community.

361
00:22:41,870 --> 00:22:45,310
Decisions... that would be better made
by someone who understands what it is to

362
00:22:45,310 --> 00:22:45,969
be deaf.

363
00:22:45,970 --> 00:22:48,610
Tom Calvin certainly put in his time at
the coalition.

364
00:22:48,970 --> 00:22:50,610
I respect what Tom accomplished.

365
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:56,490
But to put a hearing person in that
leadership position for deaf advocacy

366
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:59,930
be the same as having a man heading the
National Organization of Women.

367
00:23:00,410 --> 00:23:02,150
Isn't your policy discriminatory?

368
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:06,190
Our policies don't even begin to level
the playing field.

369
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:09,870
And what's more, if we put a hearing
person in that job...

370
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,960
It would perpetuate the very stereotypes
that the coalition fights against.

371
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
That deaf people are not as capable.

372
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,240
Thank you, Ms. Bidwell.

373
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,740
No further questions.

374
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:27,560
Ms. Bidwell, would you say that there
are many people within the deaf

375
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,740
that consider your views extreme?

376
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:32,200
Some would, but most would not.

377
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:35,480
Three years ago, you wrote an editorial
in the Los Angeles Times.

378
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,460
attacking your own parents because they
never learned sign language. Objection.

379
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:43,080
Relevance? Goes to Miss Bidwell's
personal bias, Your Honor. I'll allow

380
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,200
also promoted the concept that deaf
children shouldn't be taught to speak,

381
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,660
correct? No.

382
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:53,520
I said that they should not be forced to
do anything against their natural

383
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,780
inclination. Wouldn't you agree that
your separatist approach has alienated

384
00:23:57,780 --> 00:23:58,860
members of your own coalition?

385
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,360
No. Well, is it true that Tom Calvin
refused to go along with your

386
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,780
radical and separatist agenda?

387
00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:10,200
Yes. And your reason for refusing to
promote him is, in fact, because you two

388
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,820
often disagreed. My hiring policies are
in the best interest of the coalition.

389
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,580
I see. And were you acting in the best
interest of the coalition when you

390
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:21,240
misallocated funds for your political
agenda? Objection!

391
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,780
Assuming facts not in evidence,
irrelevant, prejudicial. We have

392
00:24:25,780 --> 00:24:28,820
Honor, showing Miss Bidwell's financial
abuses are... Your Honor, objection.

393
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,380
Counsel my chambers.

394
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,600
To pull that stunt in front of a jury is
more than prejudicial. It's outrageous.

395
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,740
Mr. McKenzie, I'll take it from here.

396
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,480
Mr. Moran.

397
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:48,980
Are you under the delusion that this is
a criminal fraud trial? Your Honor, I am

398
00:24:48,980 --> 00:24:51,740
merely trying to demonstrate that Miss
Bidwell is out of control and that her

399
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:53,920
bias against my client is one more
example.

400
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:56,060
You have a story to tell, Mr. Calvin,
briefly?

401
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,660
I was present at a meeting between
Suzanne and a California Coalition for

402
00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:08,280
Deaf accountant at which she... Your
Honor, he was my interpreter, and he's

403
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,440
ethically bound to keep that
conversation private.

404
00:25:10,860 --> 00:25:13,240
Professional ethics are one thing,
but...

405
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:17,850
There's no law against Mr. Calvin
disclosing this information, if he so

406
00:25:18,090 --> 00:25:23,510
Suzanne transferred $70 ,000 of
Coalition money into a personal expense

407
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:26,730
And you've waited all this time to
reveal this information?

408
00:25:27,030 --> 00:25:28,270
I didn't want to hurt the Coalition.

409
00:25:28,690 --> 00:25:29,690
Or Suzanne.

410
00:25:30,170 --> 00:25:31,910
You've left me no choice.

411
00:25:32,210 --> 00:25:33,510
Where is this damning evidence?

412
00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:37,250
We have no documentation as yet, Your
Honor. Forget it. This entire line of

413
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:40,910
questioning is irrelevant and
prejudicial. Now, if you think a crime

414
00:25:40,910 --> 00:25:41,910
committed, file charges.

415
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:43,820
But I'm not opening that bag of snakes.

416
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:48,120
Your Honor, the fact that this was
raised before the jury requires I

417
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,700
mistrial. Denied. We're not starting
that drill over.

418
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,800
I'll instruct the jury to disregard.

419
00:25:53,140 --> 00:25:54,820
We'll recess until tomorrow. That's it.

420
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,080
I didn't steal any money.

421
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,120
You have to believe me.

422
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:30,970
Tom Calvin leveled a serious charge
against you.

423
00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:39,070
Before we go into court, as your lawyer
and your friend, I need to ask, is there

424
00:26:39,070 --> 00:26:40,070
anything to it?

425
00:26:42,250 --> 00:26:44,750
It's inadmissible, so what difference
does it make?

426
00:26:45,030 --> 00:26:49,830
If prosecuted, embezzlement could change
your life considerably. Not to mention

427
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:52,370
the impact this revelation would have on
the coalition.

428
00:26:55,770 --> 00:26:57,230
The money was used.

429
00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:58,930
to lobby against child abuse.

430
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:00,310
Oh, Suzanne.

431
00:27:00,550 --> 00:27:03,650
You asked the board for those funds. We
voted you down.

432
00:27:03,950 --> 00:27:04,950
What does the board know?

433
00:27:05,910 --> 00:27:11,110
Many hearing parents of deaf children
never bother to learn sign language.

434
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:14,530
They rob their children of the right to
communicate.

435
00:27:15,130 --> 00:27:16,130
That's abusive.

436
00:27:16,450 --> 00:27:21,310
You run a non -profit organization. You
cannot use its funds to finance your own

437
00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:24,630
agenda. Who are you to tell me how to
run the coalition?

438
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:29,670
You... Still haven't bothered learning
how to sign.

439
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:34,390
I'm sorry if I don't fit your image of
the ideal deaf woman.

440
00:27:36,090 --> 00:27:40,930
Brave, deferential, and nobly accepting
her lot. Being deaf entitles you to turn

441
00:27:40,930 --> 00:27:42,010
your back on your friends?

442
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:43,390
To lie?

443
00:27:43,550 --> 00:27:48,870
Steal? You'll never understand. If Tom
Calvin goes public with his accusations,

444
00:27:49,290 --> 00:27:53,390
your entire life's work will be in
jeopardy. I suggest we seek an

445
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:55,230
with him, which would include...

446
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,280
You're resigning from the coalition.

447
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,600
Like hell.

448
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,580
That's implying that I've done something
wrong.

449
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,760
As a coalition board member, I have a
duty to disclose knowledge of financial

450
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,920
impropriety. This entire conversation is
privileged.

451
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,960
By law.

452
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,240
It's true.

453
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:21,820
And seeing that you placed me in this
ethical dilemma, I'm withdrawing from

454
00:28:21,820 --> 00:28:24,100
case and resigning from the coalition
board.

455
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,560
You can't do that. Oh, yeah. Yes, I can.

456
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,660
What kind of message will that send to
the board, to the contributors?

457
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,940
Exactly what I want them to know, that
something is seriously wrong with the

458
00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:39,960
you're running the coalition.

459
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,600
And if you don't recognize that, you're
not the person I once knew.

460
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:55,860
My franchise.

461
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,240
Some girl, isn't she?

462
00:28:57,780 --> 00:28:59,060
Determined to be an artist, you know.

463
00:28:59,380 --> 00:29:00,780
Yeah, you see? She made that.

464
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,320
Interesting. What's it called?

465
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
About four years of Sarah Lawrence down
the crapper.

466
00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:08,340
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

467
00:29:08,620 --> 00:29:09,620
Sorry, Mr. Flicker.

468
00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:11,940
Oh, look, gangster. There you like it.

469
00:29:13,980 --> 00:29:14,980
Hiya, man.

470
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:17,100
Oh, you see that soundstage?

471
00:29:17,620 --> 00:29:20,520
That's where I told Betty Davis you were
too homely to be a star.

472
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,760
What'd she say?

473
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:22,940
Nothing. She spit on me.

474
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,920
The 40s must have been a good time in
Hollywood.

475
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,260
Yeah, good time. Great time.

476
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,420
To be young and important.

477
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:34,720
Believe me, there's no town to be my
age.

478
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Unless you're me.

479
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,460
Sorry. Have your meeting with Francie.
I'm late for my internist, Horowitz.

480
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Annual physical, not a pretty picture.

481
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:46,300
All right, bye -bye.

482
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,420
Love, my girl.

483
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:51,760
Sorry about yesterday.

484
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,279
Where'd we leave off?

485
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,920
Well, the problem is, I see it. Brett is
holding all the cards, which puts us at

486
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:57,920
a distinctive advantage.

487
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,240
You want me to dig up some dirt?

488
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Ooh, sharp girl.

489
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,620
Any reason to suspect Brett has assets
of his own? No.

490
00:30:04,340 --> 00:30:05,340
Hidden bank account?

491
00:30:05,540 --> 00:30:06,159
Uh -uh.

492
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Other sources of income?

493
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Nope.

494
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,380
Did Brett ever see other women? Oh,
yeah.

495
00:30:12,740 --> 00:30:14,960
A few months ago, I ran into him in
Cabo.

496
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,420
He's one of those girls from Twin Peaks.

497
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,120
Not the dead one.

498
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,680
Really?

499
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,560
I was there with this special effects
guy. What a mistake.

500
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,240
All smoke and mirrors.

501
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:32,080
You know, Francie, helping you with this
divorce is helping you take your life

502
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,380
back. Stop letting people use you. Fight
for what's yours.

503
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,200
You're cute.

504
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,620
Tommy, do you know anything about dots?

505
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,060
Bites or floppies?

506
00:30:55,820 --> 00:30:56,820
Thank you.

507
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Well, how's the Purcell case?

508
00:30:59,260 --> 00:31:02,940
Oh, so far, so good. At least Morales
and I are lined up on this about making

509
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,260
profit off murder weapons.

510
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Do you know Jack Ruby's gun sold for
almost a quarter of a million? Now

511
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,120
everyone's on the bandwagon.

512
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,720
Is selling the swords against the law?

513
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:14,160
No, but that doesn't mean I have to turn
my back.

514
00:31:14,540 --> 00:31:15,780
You still have your ethics.

515
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,200
At least for today.

516
00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:22,350
Tommy.

517
00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:27,170
Have you heard from Zoe? Not a word, but
I take that as a sign she's doing fine.

518
00:31:27,930 --> 00:31:29,990
You still can't find a home for this
pooch?

519
00:31:30,190 --> 00:31:31,190
Nah, stop looking.

520
00:31:31,290 --> 00:31:32,370
I'm thrilled for both of them.

521
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:33,570
You'll learn a trick. Watch.

522
00:31:34,770 --> 00:31:36,710
Bang! Lincoln, you're dead.

523
00:31:37,370 --> 00:31:38,870
Sick Semper Terrenis.

524
00:31:45,310 --> 00:31:47,450
Whenever they're not fixed, the window
you broke.

525
00:31:48,290 --> 00:31:49,290
Tomorrow.

526
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,180
Roxanne says you're mad because you
can't remember things.

527
00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:58,860
When you threw that chair, you scared
me. Yeah, I scared a lot of people, I

528
00:31:58,860 --> 00:31:59,759
think.

529
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Even myself.

530
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,500
Well, when I'm scared, it usually helps
when I talk to somebody. You want to

531
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:07,500
talk to me?

532
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,880
Thanks, Bagot.

533
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:10,300
Some other time, okay?

534
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Enter.

535
00:32:20,110 --> 00:32:21,770
Ah, Benny. Good, good.

536
00:32:28,170 --> 00:32:33,270
Mr. Bregman, how do you know when you
lose a friend?

537
00:32:33,710 --> 00:32:34,710
Is this a riddle?

538
00:32:35,150 --> 00:32:41,970
No. No, it's a... that... I don't think
Stuart liked me

539
00:32:41,970 --> 00:32:43,430
anymore. Nonsense, Benny.

540
00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:47,530
People with a lot on their minds often
treat others rudely.

541
00:32:47,890 --> 00:32:48,890
Huh.

542
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,720
What are you waiting for, a tip?

543
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,560
No.

544
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:01,880
Chapter one.

545
00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:11,120
We'd better make this quick, Leland. The
judge has a tight calendar.

546
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,299
What's the offer?

547
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:16,560
California Coalition for the Deaf
Employment Policy remains the same. Deaf

548
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,260
applicants will be given preference.

549
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,880
However, in light of Mr. Calvin's tenure
and experience, he will be promoted to

550
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,880
co -vice president.

551
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:27,820
How would that work?

552
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,800
You would handle the administrative and
management duties, while your deaf

553
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,760
counterpart would focus on public
relations.

554
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,440
What about salary?

555
00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:41,980
Equal salary. The offer is contingent
upon a written agreement that Mr. Calvin

556
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:47,080
make no public statements regarding Ms.
Bidwell, the coalition, or its finances.

557
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:48,420
What about us?

558
00:33:49,230 --> 00:33:50,570
Can we get beyond this?

559
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:53,110
It doesn't matter.

560
00:33:54,010 --> 00:33:55,630
I'm resigning from the coalition.

561
00:33:57,310 --> 00:33:59,770
Well, do we proceed?

562
00:34:04,810 --> 00:34:05,890
Let's throw off an agreement.

563
00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:07,630
Deal.

564
00:34:11,989 --> 00:34:12,989
Sea Hunt.

565
00:34:13,449 --> 00:34:15,310
That was a television series.

566
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:20,560
I could have had it, you know, but like
a schmendrick, I said Lloyd Bridges with

567
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,600
goggles and a tube in his mouth. Forget
it. I only knew from cops and cowboys.

568
00:34:25,780 --> 00:34:26,980
But that's okay.

569
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,520
Life's not only this business, right?

570
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
It's family.

571
00:34:31,540 --> 00:34:36,960
Everyday people come to this studio when
it's dark. They leave when it's dark.

572
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,380
Never see their kids.

573
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,600
It's not right.

574
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,560
I want to come through for Francie this
time.

575
00:34:45,759 --> 00:34:47,540
What? You don't like the Neptune?

576
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:50,159
Sir, I have to be honest.

577
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,719
I haven't figured out a way to get your
daughter divorced without payments.

578
00:34:53,980 --> 00:34:54,980
You know what?

579
00:34:55,260 --> 00:34:56,260
I'm not worried.

580
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:57,620
You know why?

581
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:00,120
You're a smart fellow. You'll figure it
out.

582
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:03,500
Movies and the law have a lot in common.

583
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Anything's possible.

584
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:07,020
It's all illusion.

585
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,000
Whatever you want people to see, they
see.

586
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Magic, Becker.

587
00:35:13,810 --> 00:35:14,970
That's what it's about.

588
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:31,930
Sorry to keep you waiting, folks.

589
00:35:32,190 --> 00:35:32,988
Are you ready?

590
00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:33,990
Give us a few more minutes.

591
00:35:34,350 --> 00:35:35,350
Appreciate your understanding.

592
00:35:41,610 --> 00:35:44,870
And I still don't think this is a good
idea. Stuart, we've been around and

593
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:45,870
around about this.

594
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:49,070
What is it? What are you afraid of? Let
me help you.

595
00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:51,910
I have no memory of what happened that
day.

596
00:35:52,890 --> 00:35:54,090
Not even in my dreams.

597
00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:56,150
So I'm still safe, you know?

598
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,620
Why should I have to remember?

599
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,720
These men have to be punished, Stuart.
You were almost killed.

600
00:36:01,940 --> 00:36:03,800
And they took my wallet. They have my
identification.

601
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:07,920
They know where we live. That's why we
have to do everything in our power to

602
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,380
make sure that they stay locked up. You
know the judicial system better than I

603
00:36:11,380 --> 00:36:13,140
do. These guys have to be out on the
street before... Stuart.

604
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:20,000
I can't imagine how difficult this must
be for you. But I promise you, you don't

605
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
have to do it alone.

606
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,800
Okay?

607
00:36:35,020 --> 00:36:36,020
Hello, Leland.

608
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:37,380
Suzanne.

609
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,080
Rose.

610
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,840
We didn't have a chance to say goodbye.

611
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:48,240
And I didn't want to part on hostile
terms.

612
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,880
I never felt hostility toward you.

613
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:52,920
But I did.

614
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,620
And I wanted to apologize.

615
00:36:57,220 --> 00:37:01,020
You were acting on your principles, and
I can appreciate that.

616
00:37:02,410 --> 00:37:08,910
Believe me, even I have a few of my own,
which is why I'm starting a deaf

617
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:09,910
advocacy group.

618
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:15,990
The things that I want to accomplish
can't be done by committee.

619
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:22,410
So this will be small, a place where
rebel outcasts like me can feel right at

620
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:23,410
home.

621
00:37:24,570 --> 00:37:28,030
We'll be having free sign language
classes, and you're welcome to come.

622
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:30,910
Good luck.

623
00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:33,730
Maybe you don't need a class.

624
00:37:34,450 --> 00:37:35,850
I wish you the best of luck.

625
00:37:37,530 --> 00:37:38,530
Thank you.

626
00:37:40,530 --> 00:37:41,530
Goodbye.

627
00:37:43,170 --> 00:37:44,170
Bye.

628
00:37:45,150 --> 00:37:46,150
Thank you, Rose.

629
00:37:57,470 --> 00:37:59,010
Jonathan, can you help me out here,
please?

630
00:38:00,470 --> 00:38:01,470
Never mind.

631
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:04,960
Oh.

632
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,440
Jonathan, look.

633
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:08,980
That's cake.

634
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,280
Thanks, I've already eaten, Benny.

635
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,780
No, no, it's not real.

636
00:38:12,460 --> 00:38:16,720
I thought Lincoln would want a toy, so I
got it at the novelty shop.

637
00:38:16,940 --> 00:38:18,100
Are you being stupid?

638
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,980
It's a peanut document for the printer
case.

639
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,480
I've been all day in this damp,
disgusting industrial basement until I

640
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,640
digging through reams of pages.

641
00:38:28,020 --> 00:38:28,899
Lucky you.

642
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:31,280
Yeah, legal intern, glamour profession.

643
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,060
Then you'll be glad to know.

644
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,940
I overheard talk about them repainting C
.J.'s old office. Must be for you.

645
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,480
Well, that would be a real treat.

646
00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:42,520
Finally getting some place around here.

647
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:13,990
Beautiful. My mom used to sing that to
me.

648
00:39:14,290 --> 00:39:18,270
You know how there's some things that
stick in your memory and you just can't

649
00:39:18,270 --> 00:39:19,270
lose them?

650
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:23,810
Tommy, I've been trying to get up the
courage to ask.

651
00:39:25,390 --> 00:39:27,330
Have you ever considered having
children?

652
00:39:28,530 --> 00:39:30,550
Sure. You'd make a terrific father.

653
00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:32,990
Well, no, you'd think.

654
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:36,330
Tommy, I want to have a baby.

655
00:39:36,670 --> 00:39:39,630
Yeah? Oh, well, you'll make a terrific
mother.

656
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
With you.

657
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,480
I know this is sudden.

658
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:45,500
We better hit it, Tommy.

659
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,740
Only chance we have of stopping the sale
is to speak to the judge in person.

660
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,360
Roxanne, will you watch her?

661
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:53,678
Oh, sure.

662
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,680
Thanks.

663
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,040
So let's go.

664
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Tommy.

665
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:01,180
What?

666
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,120
Leave Lucy.

667
00:40:04,340 --> 00:40:05,680
Oh, right.

668
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,300
Think about it.

669
00:40:19,690 --> 00:40:25,470
You're offering me the role of Dr.
Stefan Rossi, urologist, if I forgo

670
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:27,830
support? Don't forget the part comes
with a commensurate salary.

671
00:40:28,070 --> 00:40:31,150
And very good billing. Top of the show.
Chad Everett didn't get top of the show.

672
00:40:31,350 --> 00:40:35,310
Ben, Ben, Ben, I read this. My character
undergoes hormone treatments in

673
00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:36,750
anticipation of a sex change.

674
00:40:37,070 --> 00:40:38,330
Not until May sweeps.

675
00:40:38,590 --> 00:40:42,650
For the next six months, my breasts are
going bigger, my skin is taking on a

676
00:40:42,650 --> 00:40:44,870
rosier glow, and my voice is getting
higher.

677
00:40:45,150 --> 00:40:46,950
These kinds of roles win Emmys.

678
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:48,970
I don't want an Emmy.

679
00:40:49,290 --> 00:40:50,330
just for growing brass.

680
00:40:50,670 --> 00:40:55,850
That's what Paddy Duke said all those
years as a child star. Now, sweet pill

681
00:40:55,850 --> 00:40:59,270
an Emmy. I've got to speak to my
attorney before I agree to anything. You

682
00:40:59,270 --> 00:41:03,310
talk to your agent. Look what touch he
did for Dustin Hoffman.

683
00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:04,510
You know where to reach me.

684
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:06,890
Software expires tomorrow, 5 o 'clock.

685
00:41:13,770 --> 00:41:14,770
Daddy.

686
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,720
Why do you want Brett on your show? You
still have to pay him.

687
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Worldwide Studios pays as a
stockholder's headache, not mine.

688
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:27,940
salary is $15 ,000 a show, minus his
agent's 10%. And his manager's 15%, his

689
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:32,980
business manager's 5%, whatever percent
to his publicist and lawyer, plus taxes

690
00:41:32,980 --> 00:41:36,400
by the time he's finished. He'll be
lucky if he can buy a pack of gum. But

691
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,960
he'd be stupid enough to say... I'll
take it. My attorney will call you

692
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:40,980
the end of business tomorrow.

693
00:41:44,940 --> 00:41:46,960
Want to be on screen more and work less?

694
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,720
Thanks, Arnie, for all the nachas.

695
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:53,960
Good luck, Francie.

696
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,540
I'll see you again.

697
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,220
I had the same notion.

698
00:41:57,660 --> 00:41:59,020
We should talk business.

699
00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:00,460
You play golf?

700
00:42:00,780 --> 00:42:04,740
Strictly a duffer. Good, then I can beat
you. This Saturday at Hillcrest, 9

701
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:06,020
sharp. Bring your wallet.

702
00:42:17,260 --> 00:42:18,460
Back against the wall, number four.

703
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:20,400
Eyes forward, two.

704
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,680
Stop moving around.

705
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,320
I'm sorry I'm taking so long.

706
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,660
Oh, please, don't rush.

707
00:42:27,460 --> 00:42:28,960
I'm aware how difficult this can be.

708
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,200
Keep looking this way.

709
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,320
This way, two.

710
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,420
Stand still, all of you.

711
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,840
It's number three and number six.

712
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:40,760
You sure?

713
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,080
Yeah, I'm sure.

714
00:42:45,730 --> 00:42:47,070
Two for two, Mr. Markowitz.

715
00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:49,230
Thank you. You picked the right ones.

716
00:42:50,190 --> 00:42:51,190
Easy.

717
00:43:01,910 --> 00:43:02,910
Come.

718
00:43:03,070 --> 00:43:04,930
Livin', you got a minute? Oh, yes, Gwen.

719
00:43:05,130 --> 00:43:10,490
Well, I know this is a bit premature,
but I was wondering, um, I'd like to

720
00:43:10,490 --> 00:43:11,570
in to C .J.'s old office.

721
00:43:12,620 --> 00:43:16,240
Oh, I'm sorry, but our new associate
will be moving into that office.

722
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:21,680
Oh. All right. But you're welcome to use
it until her contract is finalized and

723
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,680
she moves in.

724
00:43:22,860 --> 00:43:24,460
Okay. Thanks, Leland.

725
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:34,000
Hey, Douglas. Oh, was this a bad time?
No, no. I was just working on the book.

726
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,060
In fact, I'm drained.

727
00:43:35,380 --> 00:43:36,218
How's it coming?

728
00:43:36,220 --> 00:43:37,098
Very smooth.

729
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:40,580
Good. If you ever want a fresh year.
Thanks, but not just yet.

730
00:43:40,900 --> 00:43:42,260
I don't want to interrupt the flow.

731
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:43,520
Uh -huh.

732
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:47,340
Oh, that's a good machine.

733
00:43:48,780 --> 00:43:49,780
Chapter one.

734
00:43:52,660 --> 00:43:58,880
Chapter one. Chapter one.

735
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,340
That's the first chapter.

736
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:02,960
Ah, chapter one.

737
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,080
Chapter one.

738
00:44:05,140 --> 00:44:06,140
Yeah.

739
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,140
You sure about this, Benny?

740
00:44:11,630 --> 00:44:14,430
Because I've gotten kind of attached to
this little guy.

741
00:44:16,330 --> 00:44:18,050
Oh, Lincoln likes me better.

742
00:44:18,690 --> 00:44:19,690
Don't you, boy?

743
00:44:22,150 --> 00:44:23,650
Alone again.

744
00:44:24,190 --> 00:44:25,190
Naturally.

745
00:44:25,390 --> 00:44:26,390
I'm going to miss you.

746
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:27,870
All right.

747
00:44:28,090 --> 00:44:29,090
Come here.

748
00:44:29,190 --> 00:44:30,190
Thanks.

749
00:44:30,770 --> 00:44:31,770
We're going to have fun.

750
00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:36,470
Thoughts would then flicker on my side.
The sky's the limit. I have finally

751
00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:38,010
embarked on the great highway.

752
00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:39,690
I have to ask.

753
00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:44,130
You didn't sleep with Francie, did you?
Honest. I'm practicing Huan Jing Bu Nam.

754
00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:49,150
What? I want to restrict my ejaculation
frequency, spare my vital essence. Oh,

755
00:44:49,150 --> 00:44:49,948
spare me.

756
00:44:49,950 --> 00:44:54,070
I swear, Rox, I'm mastering my semen
retention and getting on an admission

757
00:44:54,070 --> 00:44:55,070
schedule.

758
00:44:55,250 --> 00:44:58,970
How can I possibly expect to run a
studio if I'm wasting valuable hormones

759
00:44:58,970 --> 00:44:59,970
cerebral spinal fluid?

760
00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:01,210
Dumb luck.

761
00:45:02,850 --> 00:45:06,290
I'm headed toward my final destination.
I fear only making the wrong turn.

762
00:45:06,510 --> 00:45:07,970
I think I found the right road, too.

763
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:11,350
Cash and carry business.

764
00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:12,810
No questions asked.

765
00:45:13,610 --> 00:45:16,870
Guns, knives, adding machines, watches.

766
00:45:19,850 --> 00:45:21,510
What kind of gun are you looking for?

767
00:45:24,630 --> 00:45:25,630
Big one.
