1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,280 The fact that he's in today should tell you most of what you need to know. What 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,480 did that tell you? Well, he was only out three days. That should tell you that 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,040 there was no invasive surgery, and that should tell you there was no 4 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,200 metastasized tumor. How do you know so much about this? 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,040 Oh, I've been in consultation all week. A very good friend of mine is one of the 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,160 leading urologists out here. I've spoken with him. I've spoken with Mel 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,140 Silverblatt, whom you know, who's in Sloan Kettering. You're convinced it's 8 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:23,820 prostate cancer? Oh, it's absolutely prostate. 9 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,500 Well, look, just so I know, what does this do to the surprise party? Because 10 00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:30,240 I've got a lot of organizing to do. Let's see how he is when he comes in. It 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,300 his 60th birthday. 65th birthday. 12 00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:35,180 That merits a celebration of some sort, no matter how he is. I'm sure he's fine. 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,220 Leland, welcome back. 14 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,480 Thank you. 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,560 Carry on. 16 00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:44,200 Cornish versus McMillan. 17 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:48,280 Motion for summary judgment pending. I'm expecting a decision by the end of this 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,660 week. Killian versus Burt Robinson Enterprises. 19 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,920 Action for the return of goods. It falls squarely under the UCC. I'm expecting 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,719 to settle. 21 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,880 Schoen versus Schoen Limited. 22 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,740 We represent Isidore Schoen. 23 00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,540 as we have for many lawsuits over many years. 24 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,960 He's being sued this time for wrongful termination by his son. 25 00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:08,880 Efforts towards settlement having been unsuccessful. 26 00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,400 We're proceeding to trial. 27 00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,160 Eli will be litigating. 28 00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:14,460 That about does it. 29 00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:17,960 In that case, I have an announcement to make. 30 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,460 At the end of this month, I will be retiring. 31 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:23,260 Now, I understand that... 32 00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:28,270 This may have some ramifications insofar as the firm is concerned, and while I 33 00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:34,230 will do my best to minimize the impact, the loss of certain clients is probably 34 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:35,230 unavoidable. 35 00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:40,870 I will not be taking on any additional business. I will be disengaging from 36 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:43,090 whatever business that I have been involved in. 37 00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:46,370 Leland, why are you doing this? 38 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:52,150 I am retiring for medical reasons, and I'd just as soon leave it at that. 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,339 He's dying. 40 00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:00,360 He's not dying. 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,000 He has prostate cancer. 42 00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:05,980 He's had a transurethral resection. In all likelihood, he's going to be fine. 43 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,120 What you're hearing here is the emotional spasm of a man who's coming to 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,280 with the fact that he has cancer. 45 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,320 All I can say is thank you, Leland. 46 00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:23,480 Just gotten through being arrested for murder. I've been the victim of a 47 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,980 deranged prosecutor bent on destroying me. 48 00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:30,970 I've just set about enjoying some sense of normalcy to my life, and now I have 49 00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:32,610 to deal with his having cancer. 50 00:02:34,230 --> 00:02:35,970 This couldn't have happened at a worse time. 51 00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:40,630 I'm sure he didn't plan this, Arnie. I'll tell you something else. Cold 52 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:43,770 though this may sound, when he retires, I've got dibs on his office. 53 00:04:32,510 --> 00:04:36,670 Buyer beware in the thoroughbred game, Ben, especially with the cheapo. 54 00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:39,910 But if I ever saw a horse ripe for the plucking, 55 00:04:40,650 --> 00:04:42,710 Sam Yes is the one. 56 00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:44,430 I like his name. 57 00:04:45,010 --> 00:04:47,730 Granted, he's been nothing special so far, but he's only four. 58 00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:50,650 He's down, runs without front wraps, and he's all heart. 59 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:55,690 And what did I tell you about horses who are all heart, huh? He said that they 60 00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:57,030 always win. And? 61 00:04:57,450 --> 00:05:01,410 He said they make you a lot of money. And that's what Sam Yes can do for us. 62 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,220 It's going to be a money -making machine. 63 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,220 Because you know what else? You know what I know that no one else seems to 64 00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:09,680 This horse will kick ass on the grass, which is what he's running on tomorrow 65 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,680 for the first time. 66 00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:13,000 Where's he been running until now? 67 00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:15,140 The dirt, Ben. He's been running on the dirt. 68 00:05:15,740 --> 00:05:18,820 Tomorrow he's running on the turf, which is what he's bred for on the turf. It's 69 00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:20,120 a $50 ,000 horse. 70 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,960 How much does it cost? 71 00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:25,860 The guy who trains the horse owns the horse. 72 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,320 Got some debt. 73 00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:29,520 Let him go for $12 ,000. 74 00:05:30,909 --> 00:05:31,909 $12 ,000. 75 00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:36,030 We're stealing them, Ben. We bet an extra $2 ,000 apiece, make back what we 76 00:05:36,030 --> 00:05:38,750 paid, have money in our pockets. This is a great country we're living in, huh? 77 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:39,950 You're not kidding. 78 00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:42,890 You know who's gonna be riding them for us tomorrow, huh? 79 00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:47,650 Who? Eddie De La Jose. For my money, the best grass jockey there is. Tuck him in 80 00:05:47,650 --> 00:05:51,690 behind the pace, sit tight against the rail, wait till the speed comes back to 81 00:05:51,690 --> 00:05:53,570 him, and then down the lane. Ba -da -bing! 82 00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:55,509 Ba -da -bing. 83 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:59,290 We go 12 for the animal, 4 for the bet.

No, Leland did not. 92 00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:23,090 If he had had a PSA on a more regular basis, he would have known about this a 93 00:06:23,090 --> 00:06:24,090 lot earlier, believe me. 94 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:27,490 They say if you live long enough, most men will develop some form of prostate 95 00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:28,490 cancer. No. 96 00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:30,350 Absolutely not. Not if you take care of yourself. 97 00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:32,210 It's one thing I don't have to worry about. 98 00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:36,490 I have other things to worry about. It's funny because he doesn't seem sick. 99 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:39,750 Well, that's how it is with prostate cancer. It can be completely 100 00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:41,590 This is according to Mel. 101 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:44,870 My doctor wanted to know if they were going to start him on chemo. I had no 102 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:47,930 what to tell him. Mine wanted to know if he had had a bone scan. He wanted to 103 00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:51,470 know about distant metastasis. I had virtually no information for him. Which, 104 00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:53,910 when you're consulting with a doctor over the phone, is a pretty embarrassing 105 00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:55,330 position to be placed in. Stuart. 106 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,020 This is not about you and your embarrassment. This is about Leland. 107 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,440 Ann. I have been on the phone with doctors all week, not for me, for him, 108 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,620 Leland. This is not about me, because I am not suffering from prostate cancer. I 109 00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:07,800 happen to have a very healthy prostate. 110 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,960 As do I. When was the last time you had it looked at? As recently as last month. 111 00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:14,800 He had his checked on Monday. Yeah, that's right, Miss Pot Shot. 112 00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:31,930 Hi.

They call them gut busters. 113 00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:34,430 Well, we can eat outside if you want. 114 00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:35,710 Okay. 115 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:37,690 Rosalie? What? 116 00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:43,230 Dominic wants me to go partners with him on buying a horse. 117 00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:45,830 What do you want to get a horse for? 118 00:07:46,330 --> 00:07:47,330 It's a race horse. 119 00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:53,150 It's a turf horse, but it's been ridden in the dirt. And if we race it on the 120 00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:55,470 turf, it can make a lot of money for us. 121 00:07:55,820 --> 00:08:00,300 I need $8 ,000. 122 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,880 What for? 123 00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:07,800 $6 ,000 to buy the horse and then $2 ,000 to bet on him. 124 00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:12,380 But we don't have $8 ,000 to buy a horse. 125 00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:16,220 Yeah, we do. We got $14 ,000 in the bank. 126 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,620 That's our savings, Bing. We can't use that money to buy a horse. 127 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Okay. 128 00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,760 Mr. Stone, what is your relationship to the defendant? 129 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,400 I'm his son. 130 00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:30,360 Do you also have a business relationship? 131 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,559 Yeah, I worked for him since I'm 15. 132 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:34,000 Are you working for him currently? 133 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,880 No, I'm not. Some three and a half months ago, I was terminated. 134 00:08:38,419 --> 00:08:41,100 Would you describe the circumstances surrounding your termination? 135 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,920 Circumstances were that I signed for a shipment of corduroy late one afternoon, 136 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,120 and next morning I tried to go to work, and all the locks were changed. 137 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,000 What explanation were you given? 138 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,240 I ordered the fabric without my father's approval. 139 00:08:53,770 --> 00:08:57,310 Is that the first time you did that? I make a thousand decisions a day, and 140 00:08:57,310 --> 00:09:00,470 of them I talk to him about and some I don't. Why, in your opinion, did your 141 00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:02,870 father see fit to fire you this time? 142 00:09:03,410 --> 00:09:07,750 Because it's the only way he has got left to prove that he is still in 143 00:09:08,130 --> 00:09:10,690 That's why he calls me every morning, 6 o 'clock. 144 00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,190 That's why he yells. 145 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:17,250 That's why he gets everybody to answer to him about everything. 146 00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:20,890 Was there ever an agreement between your father and yourself? 147 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:23,730 Under which he would relinquish control of the company? 148 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:24,990 There was a promise. 149 00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:29,350 He told me when he was 70 years old, he was going to retire, and at that point, 150 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:30,410 I would run the company. 151 00:09:30,690 --> 00:09:32,290 How old is your father now, Mr. Schoen? 152 00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:33,690 He's 72. 153 00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:35,550 And has he, in fact, retired? 154 00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:37,170 No, he has not. 155 00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:43,350 Given the atmosphere that existed between your father and yourself, one is 156 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:46,670 tempted to ask why you didn't just leave of your own free will. 157 00:09:47,610 --> 00:09:50,230 This is a family business. I never wanted to leave. 158 00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:52,530 I have nothing further. 159 00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:58,530 Did you or did you not tell a buyer for Bloomingdale's that your father tended 160 00:09:58,530 --> 00:10:01,690 to be one to five years behind the times where fashion is concerned? 161 00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:04,930 I know this woman for 20 years. It was said in jest. 162 00:10:05,310 --> 00:10:08,850 Was it said in jest when you told a vice president at Bank Leumi that you 163 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:12,310 intended to manufacture the so -called mob bay line on your own? It was a 164 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:14,510 conversation. That is all that that was. 165 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:16,630 Was it in jest when you tried to obtain financing? 166 00:10:16,970 --> 00:10:17,970 I'm not a serf. 167 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:22,190 Counselor, I am allowed to conduct business on my own. In your effort to 168 00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:25,590 financing, Mr. Shone, did you not say that two of the principal designers in 169 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:29,410 your father's business had committed to coming with you when you left? I brought 170 00:10:29,410 --> 00:10:31,450 those designers into this company. 171 00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:34,230 Were they not under contract with your father? Mad Bay Line is my line.

I went to all the stores to sell the line. Mr. Shone, please answer the 174 00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:44,170 question. He didn't do any of that. I did all of that. Now he wants to take it 175 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:47,470 all away from me and kick me out of my ass. I don't think so. 176 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:49,890 I don't think I'm going to take this lying down. 177 00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:51,570 43 years old, Dad. 178 00:10:52,290 --> 00:10:53,730 Clock is running for me, too. 179 00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:05,610 Like what happens now? 180 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:07,390 It's too soon to tell. 181 00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:12,030 What do you anticipate the actual consequences of his retirement and or 182 00:11:12,030 --> 00:11:15,170 be? I really don't know, Patrick. The fact is virtually all of our biggest 183 00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:16,170 clients are here. 184 00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:19,090 Because of Leland McKenzie. Would they leave? They might. 185 00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:20,310 Can they be replaced? 186 00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:21,850 Maybe they can. 187 00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:25,310 The problem is, the one of us who's most capable of replacing them is Leland. 188 00:11:25,610 --> 00:11:28,070 He's been the rainmaker around here since my father died. 189 00:11:28,510 --> 00:11:31,690 You never would have thought of Leland as someone who drums up business. 190 00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:33,090 Why not? 191 00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:34,990 He seems to be dignified. 192 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:36,890 Let me tell you something, Jane. 193 00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:40,870 In addition to having a first -rate legal mind, Leland McKenzie is the 194 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:44,030 salesman you'll ever meet. Do you think the firm can survive his leaving? 195 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,480 Unless we don't know how sick he is. 196 00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,580 Right. Makes it a little tough to plan for the future. 197 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,100 I haven't thought about the future. 198 00:11:55,580 --> 00:11:56,580 Hey, Denise. 199 00:11:57,020 --> 00:12:00,640 Gizity.

When your time's up, your time's up. 208 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,080 You know, for someone who knew the guy his whole life, he seemed fairly 209 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,720 unperturbed. Death is a proper and inevitable end. 210 00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:31,280 I try not to expend a lot of emotion on it. 211 00:12:31,540 --> 00:12:32,800 It's an admirable train. 212 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,200 Thanks. 213 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,000 What do you mean she said no? 214 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,090 Well... She said no. She said we didn't have enough money. 215 00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:47,570 Uh, you told me you had enough money. 216 00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:53,070 Well, we have enough in the bank, but Rosalie says we have to leave it there. 217 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:58,690 Who's calling the shots here, Ben? 218 00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:03,570 What do you mean? Who's making the decisions, you know? Who's wearing the 219 00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:07,510 Oh, when it comes to money, she asks. 220 00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:09,830 At the risk of fanning the flames of discontent. 221 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,060 Let me just say that that should not be the case. 222 00:13:12,260 --> 00:13:13,260 Why not? 223 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,240 Who's working? 224 00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:21,080 Whose feet hit the floor first every morning? Who comes in here religiously 225 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,220 earn thy daily bread? Her? 226 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,240 You. And that, my friend, entitles to you certain prerogatives. 227 00:13:27,860 --> 00:13:29,640 Prerogatives? You make the decision. 228 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520 But she takes care of the money. She... 229 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400 the shops, and she makes sure all the bills are paid. And you give her an 230 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,060 allowance with which to do all that, all well and good. But that's not this. 231 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,660 This is a decision. 232 00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:46,420 You're the breadwinner. You're the man of the house. You're the decision maker. 233 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,540 You sit in the pilot's seat. You fly the plane. 234 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,880 Simple as that. 235 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,220 What is your relationship to Isidore Schoen and his daughter? 236 00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:00,060 Have you spent time at your father's place of business? 237 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,820 I used to work there. Were you in a position to observe your brother at 238 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,240 Yes, I was. 239 00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:09,000 To the best of your knowledge, did he ever act with the intention of 240 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,180 your father's control of the company? Objection. This witness is not in a 241 00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:13,860 position to testify to her brother's intention. 242 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,440 Overruled. 243 00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:16,660 I'll allow it. 244 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,360 Laura, my brother was trying to create something within the company that was 245 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,440 his. One year it was ties, another year it was tank tops, another year it was 246 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,020 knocking off Guatemalan peasant blouses. 247 00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:33,000 until he figured out that it was cheaper to just import the real thing. 248 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,140 I don't think that he was trying to undermine anyone. I think he was just 249 00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:38,119 to be a success. 250 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,100 Would you tell us, Laura, why at the age of 35 you left the family business? 251 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,780 I couldn't take it. 252 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,780 My father yells. He yells at the cutters. He yells at the 65 -year -old 253 00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:53,320 the office who answers the phone. He yells at the designers all the time. And 254 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,640 since I was a designer of sorts, my father yelled at me. 255 00:14:58,090 --> 00:14:59,510 My brother is strong. 256 00:14:59,730 --> 00:15:01,930 He could take it. I'm not strong. 257 00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:03,470 I left. 258 00:15:03,630 --> 00:15:04,930 I have no further questions. 259 00:15:06,270 --> 00:15:07,270 Do you work? 260 00:15:07,310 --> 00:15:08,890 Yes, I do. What do you do? 261 00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:10,690 I'm a freelance designer. 262 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:13,330 How much did you make last year as a freelance designer? 263 00:15:13,730 --> 00:15:17,410 Last year was a difficult year for me. I made very little. What did you live on? 264 00:15:17,610 --> 00:15:19,470 I received a monthly check from my father. 265 00:15:19,690 --> 00:15:22,510 Did not your father inform you that it was time for you to start making a 266 00:15:22,510 --> 00:15:25,850 living? Don't you think I want that? Isn't the reason you're up here today 267 00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:29,750 testifying on behalf of your brother the fact that the check's finally stopped? 268 00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:34,530 Believe it or not, Daddy, I have tried to make my way in the world. I have 269 00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:39,850 to have a skill and a life and maybe even a family of my own. So far, I 270 00:15:39,850 --> 00:15:43,330 been too successful. Have you ever thought that maybe you had something to 271 00:15:43,330 --> 00:15:46,530 with how hard all of this is for me? The witness will confine her remarks to 272 00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:49,970 answering the question she's being asked. I am not here because the check 273 00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:50,970 stopped. 274 00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:55,210 I'm here because I know what it did to me being your daughter, and I know what 275 00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:58,830 it did to my brother being your son. And of the two of you, he needs my help 276 00:15:58,830 --> 00:15:59,830 more than you do. 277 00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:03,790 I have no further questions. 278 00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:12,250 Here's the memorandum and the glassman. The citations are at the end. 279 00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:15,050 Jane, how's your health? 280 00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:16,810 My health? My health's fine. 281 00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:20,690 I just find myself thinking, what if it were me? 282 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360 What if what's happening to McKenzie were happening to me? 283 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,640 But it's not. 284 00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:28,020 Could be. 285 00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:29,700 Could be happening to me. 286 00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:33,720 How horrible, you know? 287 00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,300 Sickness is horrible. 288 00:16:37,380 --> 00:16:38,380 I don't know. 289 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:43,380 Maybe it's mortality itself that has me blue. 290 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,920 I just keep thinking, is this it? Is this all there is? 291 00:16:50,570 --> 00:16:53,530 In another 23 years, I'm going to be McKenzie's age. 292 00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:55,950 That's no time at all. 293 00:16:57,510 --> 00:17:01,770 Your entire life happens in a wink of an eye. 294 00:17:02,330 --> 00:17:05,670 The other hand, when you're dead, that's it. 295 00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:07,930 You're dead. 296 00:17:09,109 --> 00:17:11,550 There are those of us who believe otherwise. 297 00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:13,109 Do you believe otherwise? 298 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:17,470 Yes. You actually believe it. You don't get up in the middle of the night with 299 00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:18,630 cold sweats thinking... 300 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,839 that you might be sick or that you might be dying? 301 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,839 Sure I do.

And I was thinking that maybe we could afford it anyway. 310 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:12,640 Barry, I pay the bills. You don't pay the bills. We can't afford it. 311 00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:18,140 Well, I wear the pants. 312 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,300 I wear pants. pants too sometimes. 313 00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:21,920 I'm calling the shots. 314 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,100 I'm flying the plane. 315 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,440 Benny, what are you talking about? 316 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,700 I'm talking about whose feet hit the floor first in the morning.

I did so for a variety of reasons. 328 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,240 There were financial irregularities, to put it politely, and he was passing 329 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,100 himself off as the head of the company. 330 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,420 To whom did he represent himself as the head of the company, Mr. Schoen? Oh, to 331 00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:35,700 buyers from Bloomingdale's and Filene's and Carson, Piri, Scott, to a factory 332 00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:40,340 owner in Hong Kong, to the district manager from the International Lady 333 00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:41,340 Workers Union. 334 00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:42,580 Is that enough? 335 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:47,540 And how did you find out that he had so represented himself? 336 00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:49,860 People told me. 337 00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:54,880 Objection.

It's been testified to by your son that you assured him you would step 342 00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:09,900 down and turn the company over to him. 343 00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:12,350 when you reached the age of 70. Is that true? 344 00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:13,990 Well, that was never meant to be unconditional. 345 00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:18,050 It was understood to be if circumstances permit. 346 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:21,370 Circumstances don't permit. 347 00:20:23,050 --> 00:20:28,850 If I thought he was capable, if I thought he was honorable, I would have 348 00:20:28,850 --> 00:20:30,430 it, and I would have done it happily. 349 00:20:32,550 --> 00:20:36,350 But I did not build this business so that he could destroy it. 350 00:20:36,730 --> 00:20:37,730 I have nothing further. 351 00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:48,660 Is it your contention, sir, that your son is incompetent? He is competent to 352 00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:54,120 a salesman. He is competent to work in a showroom. He is not competent to run a 353 00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:58,220 company. You dispute the fact that all decisions pertaining to the so -called 354 00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:00,740 Mabé line were made by Harold Schoen. 355 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,300 That's one line. 356 00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:03,780 Yes or no, Mr. Schoen? 357 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,080 Yes, he ran that line. Would you characterize that line as successful? 358 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,860 He was in the right place at the right time. 359 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,880 Once. You measure success in this business over decades. 360 00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:20,280 Would it be fair to say, sir, that you have some difficulty when it comes to 361 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,280 relinquishing control? 362 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:23,840 I have difficulty when it comes to betrayal. 363 00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:29,620 That's with customers, that's with partners, and that's with children. 364 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:31,560 I have no further questions. 365 00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:36,420 You're going to put a knife in my back, Harold, not while I'm still breathing. 366 00:21:53,090 --> 00:21:54,090 Come. 367 00:21:54,450 --> 00:21:58,590 Leland, I need to talk to you as both your partner and your friend.

There's nothing obsessive about it. 560 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,440 I don't care to discuss my condition. 561 00:33:27,940 --> 00:33:32,160 Leland, most people would be willing to provide a little more information for 562 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,180 their loved ones, you know? 563 00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,060 Besides, what's the big mystery, Leland? 564 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,000 You have prostate cancer. 565 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,320 You have prostate cancer. 566 00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:45,100 But you were out of the office one week. That means you had a transurethral 567 00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:48,620 resection. If you had had a higher degree of metastasis, that means they 568 00:33:48,620 --> 00:33:52,140 have required a suprapubic. And if they had required a suprapubic, you would 569 00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:55,020 have been out of the office two weeks minimum. From where I'm standing, this 570 00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:55,919 pretty good news. 571 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,620 All I want is a little more specifics. 572 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,340 What the hell are you talking about? 573 00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:03,960 I'm talking about the most commonly recommended alternative surgical 574 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,800 for prostate cancer and what each one implies. 575 00:34:07,390 --> 00:34:08,830 I don't have prostate cancer. 576 00:34:09,050 --> 00:34:10,210 What are you talking about? 577 00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:12,630 I don't have prostate cancer. 578 00:34:12,870 --> 00:34:14,870 Now, what part of that don't you understand? 579 00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:19,850 Douglas told me you went in for an examination of the prostate, and they 580 00:34:19,850 --> 00:34:21,010 something. That's right. 581 00:34:21,570 --> 00:34:22,790 That's what I told him. 582 00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:27,889 And what they found, since you're intent on specifics, was a level 3 melanoma 583 00:34:27,889 --> 00:34:32,270 located in the region of my groin. While there is presently no indication of 584 00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:36,210 distant metastasis, the likelihood is that within five years I'll be dead. 585 00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:41,110 Now, does that satisfy your curiosity? 586 00:34:44,909 --> 00:34:47,510 I had no idea. That was by design. 587 00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:51,750 What's your problem? 588 00:34:52,610 --> 00:34:53,610 They're here. 589 00:34:59,570 --> 00:35:01,470 I've got to be there in 20 minutes. 590 00:35:01,690 --> 00:35:04,070 Harold.

No, but it's a factor he should take into account. 616 00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:20,980 You should. 617 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,680 Come on. 618 00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:24,280 He's going to live forever. 619 00:36:26,580 --> 00:36:27,580 Is he? 620 00:36:39,770 --> 00:36:40,970 Isidore?

No, no. 624 00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:52,650 It's because Mr. Levinson is smart enough to know what can't be done in 625 00:36:52,790 --> 00:36:55,650 We feel as though it's possible for this dispute to be resolved between the 626 00:36:55,650 --> 00:36:59,030 parties.
