Law. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,320 It's really your house. 3 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,840 And if we're going to be apart, I should really be the one that goes someplace 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,640 else. I've already moved out. 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,080 You stay in the house. 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,600 I'm not in the industry. I'm just a boring corporate attorney who leads a 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,140 dull life. But I happen to have 8 o 'clock reservations at La Dome tomorrow 8 00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:20,860 night. Will I be eating alone? 9 00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:22,300 Yes, you will. 10 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,340 Regulations. Since you're off the show now, it wouldn't be illegal for you and 11 00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:27,340 me to be friends. 12 00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:30,500 Now I know it's a joke.

That's quite all right. 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,000 The reason I'm here today is because some jerk in a bar called my friend here 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,239 idiot and a retard. 24 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:05,940 I was sticking up for my buddy. 25 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000 If that makes me a criminal or crazy, so be it. 26 00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:22,380 Hi. 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,260 I can't believe it. 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,620 Second game of the series and it's not on television. 29 00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:29,360 What? Baseball.

It's December. 36 00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:47,660 Christmas is next Tuesday. 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,820 You're having your Alzheimer's again. Shut up. I don't want that in here. 38 00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:54,880 It's Christmas. Don't you talk back to me. 39 00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:56,960 You see any Christmas in here? 40 00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:01,960 Christmas is room full of people and eggnog and relatives spending the night. 41 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,720 You see any eggnog?

Come on, you're having 44 00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:11,960 your Alzheimer's. I can't even smell it. Don't do that, please. 45 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:15,020 Now stop it. You're going to hurt the tree. Let me go. 46 00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:16,260 No. 47 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,160 Let's get going. We've got a full docket. 48 00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:20,560 First up, a reminder of the annual Christmas party commencing at 6 o 'clock 49 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,779 Friday. Thank you. 50 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:24,700 Against my better judgment, we put Ms. Lamb in charge. 51 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,440 Could even be a party. Let us note, once again, she skipped out on a staff 52 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,000 meeting. Let us further note, Abby Perkins has decided to follow suit. 53 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:33,620 All right, Douglas. Moving on. 54 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,280 The early morning draw for the dreaded role of Santa Claus took place this 55 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,120 morning, and the lucky winner is... 56 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,640 Grace Van Owen. 57 00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:45,120 Can I be your... Oh, no! 58 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:47,340 All right. I like that very much. 59 00:04:48,380 --> 00:04:50,160 All right. Let's turn to business. 60 00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:53,580 Jonathan and I are ready to go forward again with the Noah Cowan proposal. 61 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,720 Isn't he the guy with Tourette's syndrome? Yes. We found another group of 62 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,600 investors for his computer software program. 63 00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:02,280 We have a 10 o 'clock meeting with the client today, then a multi -million 64 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,640 dollar private offering set for tomorrow, and this time, I think we'll 65 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,210 off. Moving on. Cola versus Westbrook Medical? 66 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:12,870 Well, our last settlement offer was rejected, so the trial starts today. 67 00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:14,169 Best of luck. 68 00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:17,790 Anne, I'm still waiting on your opinion letter to send to the Quebec Nordiques. 69 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:20,870 I can't do it without the tax projection from Seward, which I still haven't 70 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:24,090 gotten. I didn't realize it was a rush. Why didn't you tell me? I sent you a 71 00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:25,590 memo. A memo? 72 00:05:25,790 --> 00:05:28,250 Well, let's get on it. ASAP, please. 73 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:33,510 Now, on a truly exhilarating note, I'm pleased to announce yesterday afternoon 74 00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:38,080 Rosalind Shays was arrested... for SNL fraud. What? 75 00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:39,420 You're kidding. 76 00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:40,660 Indicted? What? 77 00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:45,220 She's one of the directors of the Savings and Loan. The whole board was 78 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:48,060 up on charges. She could actually be going to jail. Yes! 79 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,200 All right, all right. Now, that's enough. 80 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,960 I'm surprised at all of you. 81 00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,480 Wishing that on somebody? 82 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,020 Now, if any of you are questioned on this by the media, I expect you to 83 00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:01,880 with a lot more dignity than you have here. Move along, Douglas. 84 00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,100 I believe that's it. 85 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,180 Remember, clients are invited to the party. Cabs and designated drivers are 86 00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:07,999 being arranged. 87 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,839 Oh, boy. 88 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:09,840 Jonathan, 89 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,600 that would be our 10 o 'clock. 90 00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:12,820 Yeah. We're adjourned. 91 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,160 Grace, a minute in my office, please. 92 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080 You want me to represent Rosalind Chase? 93 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,220 From what I understand, she's innocent and... I doubt it. 94 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,160 But even if she is, why should we help her? 95 00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:30,500 $300 ,000, that's why. 96 00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:35,010 Meaning what? If we can get this case dismissed, she'll kick back 300 grand 97 00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:38,810 the judgment we paid her. That's an enormous payoff for one afternoon's 98 00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:42,790 Why me? You have a list of so many... Because you have the relationship with 99 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:44,890 Bruce Rogoff and the entire DA's office. 100 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:48,630 Rosalind feels if she could just get their ear, she knows they'll drop it. 101 00:06:49,550 --> 00:06:53,010 Leland, I'm sorry, but I cannot... Don't make me pull rank, Grace. 102 00:06:53,490 --> 00:06:58,130 If she's guilty, we'll tell her to forget it. If she's innocent, we can't 103 00:06:58,130 --> 00:06:59,130 not to do this. 104 00:07:01,770 --> 00:07:06,010 They're ready to put up all the capital? They love the proposal, and they 105 00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:10,290 specifically asked us not to take it to anybody else. I think they're ready to 106 00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:11,590 bankroll your entire company. 107 00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:16,990 Gee, that sounds too good to be true. The question we're asking ourselves, 108 00:07:17,090 --> 00:07:20,110 is whether you should attend the meeting. Why shouldn't I, nigger? 109 00:07:20,470 --> 00:07:23,790 Because the last two offerings have gone south the second investors met you. 110 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:29,090 Listen, Noah, you know I think you should be open about the Tourette's, 111 00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:33,540 It's obviously scaring people off. They'll find out about it anyway, won't 112 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,200 I mean, won't we be having quarterly or annual meetings where I have to report? 113 00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:42,860 Absolutely. But our thinking is, once the company is running smoothly and 114 00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:44,400 money, they won't care. 115 00:07:45,140 --> 00:07:48,700 And that isn't a kind of fraud, concealing this? 116 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,080 Oh, boy, Paul. 117 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,420 It's okay to do this? 118 00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:59,830 Noah. It's only securities fraud if you withhold material information. 119 00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:04,190 Since Tourette's isn't psychological or mental and doesn't impair your ability 120 00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:06,850 to run a company, we don't consider it material. 121 00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:09,970 Just the same better if they don't know. 122 00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:15,190 No. We both know how hard you've worked on this. We just don't want it to all be 123 00:08:15,190 --> 00:08:16,190 for nothing. 124 00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:18,590 Okay. 125 00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:20,810 Let me know how it goes. 126 00:08:21,090 --> 00:08:22,090 We will for sure. 127 00:08:30,590 --> 00:08:31,790 Hi. Hi, Benny. 128 00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:35,090 I got you chicken with mayonnaise and mustard. 129 00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:41,090 Roxanne wanted me to bring you this soup. She said to make sure you eat it. 130 00:08:42,049 --> 00:08:43,049 She's a sweetheart. 131 00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:47,010 I called Aurora and Crystal. I told them we couldn't come out tonight because 132 00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:48,010 you got to rest. 133 00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:48,989 Benny, look. 134 00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:52,790 I wired the Christmas lights to the plug at the back of the TV set. 135 00:08:53,130 --> 00:08:54,130 Look. 136 00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:55,970 Huh? 137 00:08:58,490 --> 00:08:59,650 Is that beautiful? 138 00:09:00,190 --> 00:09:01,190 Yeah. 139 00:09:01,630 --> 00:09:02,730 Betty, look under the tree. 140 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:06,350 I got you a present. I wrapped it up myself. 141 00:09:07,650 --> 00:09:11,010 I used all that morning newspaper with December written on it. 142 00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:13,650 You're a good friend, Benny. 143 00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:17,210 A lot of people do a zillion things with their life. 144 00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:18,990 Make a lot of money. 145 00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:22,970 But sometimes the hardest thing to do is be a good friend. 146 00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:26,070 I'm glad we're spending Christmas together. 147 00:09:26,430 --> 00:09:27,430 Me too, Benny. 148 00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:28,570 Me too. 149 00:09:31,959 --> 00:09:35,000 And, Dr. Kohler, you were born with this disease? 150 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:40,600 Yes. I was diagnosed in 1967. I was 12 years old. Could you tell the court 151 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,900 exactly what neurofibromatosis is? 152 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,620 It's a genetic disorder. 153 00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:50,100 The symptoms vary, but in my case, it's caused some skin discoloration and some 154 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,140 neurofibroma tumors. 155 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:54,620 This is what is commonly known as elephant man's disease? 156 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,909 That's correct. 157 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:59,970 Could you describe the progression of it in your case, sir? For most of my life, 158 00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:04,090 it was totally latent. Then during my third year of medical school, I 159 00:10:04,090 --> 00:10:06,830 several small tumors on my back and upper arms. 160 00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:11,290 And, Dr. Kohler, did you have these tumors when you were hired as a general 161 00:10:11,290 --> 00:10:13,750 practitioner by the defendant's medical group? 162 00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:17,510 Yes, and I informed them. They told me it wasn't an issue. 163 00:10:17,770 --> 00:10:19,370 But things changed, didn't they, doctor? 164 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:22,130 Yes. About a year and a half ago... 165 00:10:22,510 --> 00:10:26,650 The disease radicalized. I experienced rapid growth and spread of the tumors. 166 00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:27,970 They spread to your face? 167 00:10:28,490 --> 00:10:29,630 They spread to my face. 168 00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:31,590 And what did the defendant do then? 169 00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:34,130 He fired me. He tell you why? 170 00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:37,050 He said the patients didn't want to be treated by me. 171 00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:44,010 He said... that he couldn't afford to have a 172 00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:46,090 doctor who looked the way I look. 173 00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:50,450 Sir... Do you believe you can be an effective physician despite your 174 00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:54,630 One of the reasons I chose to become a doctor is because I know what it's like 175 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:56,890 on the other end of the stethoscope. 176 00:10:57,430 --> 00:11:03,470 I know what it's like to have something. I... Yes, I believe I have been an 177 00:11:03,470 --> 00:11:07,550 effective physician, and I believe I could continue to be. Thank you, sir. I 178 00:11:07,550 --> 00:11:08,550 have nothing further. 179 00:11:12,850 --> 00:11:16,330 Doctor, the day before you were terminated, 180 00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:20,600 A patient by the name of Cindy Knoll came in for a consult. Would that be 181 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,600 correct? Yes. 182 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,720 Please describe for the court what transpired during this examination, sir. 183 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,380 The patient became ill. The patient was caused to vomit. 184 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,820 Yes. You know why? 185 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:34,620 She said she was repulsed. 186 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,120 By my appearance. 187 00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:39,960 Isn't it true, doctor, that many such patients have had this reaction to your 188 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,220 disfigurement? I wouldn't say many. There have been others, yes. In fact, 189 00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:46,800 the tumors have begun to spread to your hands and face, over half of your 190 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,680 clients have left. Isn't it true? The ignorance of my patients does not excuse 191 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,500 my employers. He's a doctor. He knows that this disease has nothing to do with 192 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:56,179 my ability. 193 00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:57,180 Sir, sir. 194 00:11:57,220 --> 00:12:01,820 He hired you to cultivate a practice, and you can no longer do that. True or 195 00:12:01,820 --> 00:12:03,120 false? I still have a practice. 196 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,340 Doctor, how do you expect people to come to you to be cured when you yourself 197 00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:13,080 appear to be so ill? I think people should be open -minded to things they 198 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,800 understand. Do you expect them to be comfortable being touched by you? I 199 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,599 in time. 200 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,620 Let's forget about in time, Doctor. I'm talking about right now. 201 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,420 I'm talking about when they first walk in and see you. When they first come in 202 00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:28,240 the door and look at you and see the tumors on your hands and on your face, 203 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,540 you really expect them to be anything other than horrified? 204 00:12:30,740 --> 00:12:31,780 That doesn't make them right. 205 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,080 No, it doesn't. 206 00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:36,860 And I am sure that in a perfect world, this wouldn't happen. 207 00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:41,820 But this isn't a perfect world, is it, Dr. Kohler? 208 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,900 No, Mr. Cifuentes, it certainly is not. 209 00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:46,000 We're 210 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:55,100 on 211 00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:57,360 their board for almost three years, Rosalind. 212 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:01,980 It'll be difficult to show that you didn't know about the sweetheart loans 213 00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:05,220 the bad real estate deals. If you look at the minutes, you'll see that I wasn't 214 00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:08,140 even present at the meetings. I had nothing to do with the running of the 215 00:13:08,140 --> 00:13:10,340 company or making any of their decisions. 216 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:11,880 Then why did they indict you? 217 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,140 They indicted the whole board, including Chandler Jeffries, who's been in a 218 00:13:16,140 --> 00:13:20,100 nursing home for the past four years. Look, you may be innocent for all I 219 00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:25,180 but the idea of representing you is repugnant to me. Grease. No, that's 220 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,100 You're honest. I appreciate that. 221 00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:30,020 Now, let me be frank. 222 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:35,100 I am not looking to mend any fences here, and I am certainly not chasing 223 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,100 your affection. 224 00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:39,500 You can help me avoid the stain of an investigation. 225 00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:43,660 I'm willing to pay you $300 ,000 to do it. 226 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,440 It's a simple business deal. Rogoff isn't going to kick you if he thinks 227 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,720 guilty. All I want is for you to get him to look at the facts closely before he 228 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,420 starts calling press conferences. 229 00:13:55,180 --> 00:13:56,180 We're talking. 230 00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:57,700 Thank you. 231 00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,640 And so you knew of his condition at the time you hired him? Absolutely. 232 00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:07,660 So we can't be accused of discriminating against his handicap. 233 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,420 But in effect, you did fire him because of the disease. 234 00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,500 I discharged him because he couldn't fulfill the function for which he was 235 00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:14,680 hired. Which was? 236 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,260 To build a practice. To make money for the company. 237 00:14:17,580 --> 00:14:20,800 His caseload just dropped after the tumor spread to his face. 238 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,820 Patients were afraid of him. Well, did you try to take any steps to mitigate 239 00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:26,820 situation? Yes. 240 00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,960 At first, we would forewarn and educate the patients in the hopes they wouldn't 241 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,620 be so shocked. 242 00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:35,180 That didn't work. 243 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,800 Then we tried to adjust his responsibilities, so he's doing mostly 244 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,160 other doctors. But the fact is there just wasn't enough consulting work to 245 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,040 him busy. So you terminated his employment? 246 00:14:46,340 --> 00:14:47,340 I had no choice. 247 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,640 I'm certainly sorry that people discriminate against him, but there is 248 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800 can do about that. Thank you, Dr. Westbrook. 249 00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:55,580 Nothing further. 250 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,800 So you agree patients were discriminating against this man? 251 00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:05,540 Yes. And your response is to accommodate this prejudice by discharging the 252 00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:06,680 victim of the discrimination? 253 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:10,760 Well, I don't look at it like that. You don't? Well, you fired him because 254 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,200 people couldn't stomach his handicap. 255 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,720 How does that do anything but legitimize their bigotry? I have a business, Miss 256 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,220 Harbour. If patients won't go to him, what else can I do? So if they refuse to 257 00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:23,560 be seen by a doctor in a wheelchair, you'd fire that doctor, too. 258 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560 Some of your white patients don't want to be examined by a black. 259 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,300 Bye -bye to the black physicians. 260 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,280 Objection. Overruled. I would never support that kind of position. So you do 261 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,060 support their position on this one. I didn't say that. That's exactly what you 262 00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:40,060 said. The discrimination against this handicap is permissible. He's a doctor. 263 00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:44,280 He's supposed to reassure people. They see his condition. How much confidence 264 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,840 you think that instills? There's a law saying you can't fire a person because 265 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,940 his handicap. We never knew it could get that bad. You threw him out like that 266 00:15:49,940 --> 00:15:53,390 furniture because he wasn't commensurate with your aesthetic image. Look! Look 267 00:15:53,390 --> 00:15:55,290 at him, for God's sake, just look at him. 268 00:16:00,690 --> 00:16:03,450 I'm home. 269 00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:07,350 I brought microwave hamburgers today with cheese. 270 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:09,690 Tree looks great. 271 00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:12,070 Murray? 272 00:16:29,819 --> 00:16:30,819 Wake up! 273 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,120 Molly! 274 00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,360 Yeah, I'm coming through. 275 00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:41,480 I'm going to call it in. So was I. 276 00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:44,080 You're Vinnie? Yeah, I guess. 277 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,660 Looks like it was a stroke. I think he went pretty quickly. 278 00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:48,900 All right, where do you take him now? 279 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,320 To the morgue, and then we can send him to the funeral home. All right, that's 280 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,000 Rosen's Funeral Parlor on Sunset. 281 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,200 I want to see him. 282 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,220 Well, I want to get to the mortuary. No, I want to see him before they do 283 00:16:58,220 --> 00:16:59,220 anything to him. 284 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,480 Look what you've done now, Daddy. 285 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,740 Look what you've gone and done. 286 00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:28,440 Go to sleep now. 287 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,280 I wouldn't produce that box. It's all work product. 288 00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:42,980 Yeah, but on the other hand, if we give them all 12 boxes over the holidays, 289 00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:45,240 they're bound to forget about looking at any of them. 290 00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:46,820 Ann? Here. 291 00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:50,490 And I'll have the tax projections for you by the end of the day. Great, 292 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:54,830 And I think in the future you might find a more direct channel than a memo. 293 00:17:55,930 --> 00:17:58,570 You seem to be the one with communication problems, Stuart. 294 00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:05,329 Don't work. 295 00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:09,390 You know, this is none of my business, but I remember my father. 296 00:18:10,220 --> 00:18:14,100 He had to get a colostomy, and it, like, threatened his manhood and everything, 297 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:18,480 and finally he just, well, he just had to get some space from my mother, so he 298 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,720 just took off, you know? 299 00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:25,140 Did he ever come back? No, he was a bad example, actually. 300 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:28,540 But he was nothing like Hewitt. 301 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,340 This box is all ledgers. They can have that. 302 00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:34,620 Right. 303 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,140 You know, at the staff meetings, when you're not aware, he's always looking at 304 00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:39,140 you. 305 00:18:39,690 --> 00:18:42,410 We have a lot of stuff to go through here, Tom. Right. 306 00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:49,090 How does he look at me? 307 00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:52,430 Oh, cute, you know. 308 00:18:53,170 --> 00:18:55,090 Like a little pinched -up hamster. 309 00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:02,210 A 45 % interest is not out of line. He invented the software. 310 00:19:02,510 --> 00:19:05,610 He developed the program. But he isn't putting up anything. 311 00:19:06,410 --> 00:19:11,320 Look. The bylaws provide for a $75 ,000 salary the first year, whether this 312 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,199 flies or not. 313 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,760 It'll fly. We think so, too. 314 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,320 The point is, Mr. Cowan is totally protected, and we're not. How about 40 315 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,420 we recoup? After that, we'll give him the extra five. 316 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,700 I think we can live with that. 317 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,740 Fantastic. Jimmy, you hack out the language with him. 318 00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:28,480 Only thing left, I guess, is to meet Mr. Cowan. 319 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,740 Why? Why? 320 00:19:32,669 --> 00:19:35,710 Because we're about to start a $3 million corporation, we think it would 321 00:19:35,710 --> 00:19:37,210 nice idea to say hi to the CEO. 322 00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,570 Is there a problem with that? 323 00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:39,830 No. No. 324 00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:44,550 It's just that we don't know his schedule this week, and, well, I'd hate 325 00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:48,430 up the deal. We're about to convert an ex -market analyst into a very rich 326 00:19:48,430 --> 00:19:51,470 entrepreneur. Something tells me he'll be able to adjust his schedule. 327 00:19:51,710 --> 00:19:53,230 Okay. No problem. 328 00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:54,690 No problem at all. 329 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:57,030 This is a huge problem. 330 00:19:58,170 --> 00:20:02,910 Let me try the hypnosis. Does it really work? It has sometimes. 331 00:20:03,470 --> 00:20:04,470 Oh, boy. 332 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:06,310 It can at least help. 333 00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:08,470 What exactly happens with this hypnosis? 334 00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:12,690 It's basically just a relaxing technique. It calms me. Nigger. Nigger. 335 00:20:13,790 --> 00:20:19,870 It calms me down. And if I concentrate, I can control it, but not for... Oh, 336 00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:20,910 boy. 337 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:22,110 Not for long. 338 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:23,310 It's worth a try. 339 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:26,950 Call your therapist and arrange the session for tomorrow morning. 340 00:20:27,290 --> 00:20:30,690 All we can do is pray that it works.

What do you want to do, 347 00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:50,330 If he comes in whooping and spitting, you know as well as I do, Noah will go 348 00:20:50,330 --> 00:20:54,710 home alone, unemployed, with nothing to show for this last year of his life. 349 00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:56,230 You want that? 350 00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:15,340 May I? 351 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,240 I believe this would be an ex parte communication. 352 00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:20,420 Yeah. Well, 353 00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:22,300 I'll risk it. 354 00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:28,980 I, um... 355 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,680 I wanted you to know that when I try a case, I play to win. 356 00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:47,020 Well, sometimes I say things that I don't 357 00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:48,040 personally believe in. 358 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,640 Which would you be referring to, Mr. Cifuentes? 359 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,480 The part about me being repulsive? 360 00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:56,500 The part about my face making people vomit? 361 00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:00,500 I'm a lawyer trying a case. Oh, now you are. 362 00:22:00,990 --> 00:22:04,270 An excellent lawyer who knows full well the prohibition against introducing 363 00:22:04,270 --> 00:22:05,269 false evidence. 364 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:09,870 A lawyer who would only offer up facts he knows or thinks to be true. 365 00:22:10,150 --> 00:22:12,870 What I wanted to say... You feel sorry for me. 366 00:22:14,210 --> 00:22:17,990 Imagine my joy at being pitied by the guy who was hired to get me. 367 00:22:18,510 --> 00:22:24,150 I don't pity you. Oh, Mr. Sufrantes, we're talking about a symptom I'm quite 368 00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:25,550 expert at diagnosing. 369 00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:29,350 You talk about being repulsed. Let me tell you what repulses me. 370 00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:32,310 The idea that people feel sorry for me. 371 00:22:32,530 --> 00:22:37,790 The idea that people who don't even know me can, with one glance, know enough to 372 00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:39,770 feel sorry for me.

I had them cut off. 375 00:22:50,890 --> 00:22:53,210 When they grew back again, I cut them off again. 376 00:22:53,530 --> 00:22:58,050 No matter what I do, they keep growing back. 377 00:22:58,570 --> 00:23:03,250 I can be just as resilient as these bumps. I fight back, too. 378 00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:14,610 The irony is, the only way I can win this trial is by getting 12 strangers in 379 00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:17,530 jury box to feel sorry for me. 380 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,700 Just start breathing for me, Noah. 381 00:23:45,020 --> 00:23:46,060 Slow and deep. 382 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,080 We'll start in a minute. 383 00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:50,100 Does this have any chance of working? 384 00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:53,320 We usually can shut down the muscle ticks for a short period.

The 415 00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:35,580 reason you don't know this is that we are driven into dark 416 00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:37,160 closets of secrecy. 417 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,560 We stay hidden so as not to offend. 418 00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:43,920 If you could get used to these lumps. 419 00:25:45,290 --> 00:25:52,090 on my face, you might see me as a human being who laughs like you do, cries 420 00:25:52,090 --> 00:25:58,090 like you do, who dreams of a world, as I'm sure all of you do, where 421 00:25:58,090 --> 00:26:02,090 discrimination of any kind is totally eliminated. 422 00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:09,170 But in my case, that's going to take some doing because the 423 00:26:09,170 --> 00:26:12,710 prejudice against me is so seemingly reasonable. 424 00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:20,020 I look the way I look. How could anyone not be affected? 425 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:30,320 Nevertheless, to forgive bigotry, and that's what they're 426 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,860 asking you to do here, is to foster it. To excuse it is to give it life. 427 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,480 To conquer it, well, somewhere, somebody... 428 00:26:42,830 --> 00:26:47,990 who's either tired enough or hurt enough or maybe just desperate enough, has to 429 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:50,590 finally rise up and say, Stop! 430 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:53,390 Stop. 431 00:26:55,150 --> 00:26:56,150 Please. 432 00:26:58,830 --> 00:26:59,830 Stop. 433 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,800 As you listen to this man, I think it's hard not to be overwhelmed by his 434 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:25,960 eloquence and his dignity. 435 00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:34,420 And I have no doubt that to know Dr. Paul Kohler is to know an integrity and 436 00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:39,340 spirit that could almost blind you to his handicap. 437 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,520 But... 438 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:50,380 That doesn't change the fact that when you first look at this man, what you see 439 00:27:50,380 --> 00:27:51,380 is a freak. 440 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,160 Horribly disfigured freak. 441 00:27:55,980 --> 00:28:01,200 I can't but wonder if any of you were to walk into an examination room and saw 442 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,100 this man as your doctor, what would you think? 443 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,760 That's why they discharged him, ladies and gentlemen. 444 00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:14,800 Because people don't want to see disease in the face of their doctor. 445 00:28:15,020 --> 00:28:19,360 And with this particular doctor it is difficult to see anything else. 446 00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:48,410 The distribution contract with AmFab is tentatively set for five years. 447 00:28:48,750 --> 00:28:53,610 Since the lifespan of the software, even your best software, is three to four 448 00:28:53,610 --> 00:28:56,190 years, AmFab shouldn't be your concern. 449 00:28:56,530 --> 00:29:01,210 Your bigger worry should be, when does this package go from being state of 450 00:29:01,210 --> 00:29:06,130 the art to obsolete? 451 00:29:06,530 --> 00:29:10,230 And it's on that front that our software is superior. 452 00:29:12,910 --> 00:29:17,390 Bless you.

Oh, I think it would be a big mistake to emphasize expansion early 454 00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:26,610 on. The best thing you can do to promote this product is to develop its 455 00:29:26,610 --> 00:29:27,610 reputation. 456 00:29:28,050 --> 00:29:34,810 And for that, you have to exalt quality control over your 457 00:29:34,810 --> 00:29:36,670 blitzing marketing techniques. 458 00:29:37,210 --> 00:29:39,710 When would you anticipate an increase in production? 459 00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:41,930 Oh, uh... 460 00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:44,060 16 months. 461 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,099 Not sooner. 462 00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,580 Oh, definitely not sooner.

Why? 474 00:30:28,690 --> 00:30:32,750 Because we are total whores to do anything for Rosalind Shays after what 475 00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:35,610 done to us. A paying client is a paying client. 476 00:30:35,850 --> 00:30:39,230 That's crap, Leland, and you know it. We turned down Anderson Industries last 477 00:30:39,230 --> 00:30:41,810 year, a million -dollar client, because we didn't like what they stood for. 478 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:43,710 We're in a different situation now. 479 00:30:44,220 --> 00:30:48,320 You could all be looking at no partnership bonus this year and...

There's nothing to be ashamed about. 487 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,580 Well, then why wasn't this out in the open, Leland? I wasn't hiding it. 488 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,040 I just decided not to publicize it. I knew there'd be opposition. 489 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,860 You knew how long it was. 490 00:31:13,180 --> 00:31:14,180 All right, that's enough. 491 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,460 Now, I made a decision as senior partner. 492 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,780 I made a decision I felt was in the best interest of the firm. And that decision 493 00:31:20,780 --> 00:31:24,900 stands, and I don't want to hear another damn word about it from anybody. 494 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,400 Oh, boy. 495 00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:28,860 Nigger. 496 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,400 Slut. 497 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,700 Bitch.

There you go. 499 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,700 I've gotten some strange requests from jurors over the years, and I suppose 500 00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:06,540 one, well, if it will help you reach a verdict, then, Miss Harbour, the jury 501 00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:09,220 would like to inspect the hands of your client. 502 00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,420 Your Honor? 503 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,820 As I understand their intent in determining whether it is reasonable for 504 00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:18,620 patients to reject being examined by this man, they'd like to see his hand. 505 00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:22,840 Your Honor, the state of mind of the patients is not at issue here. This case 506 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,300 deals with discrimination. I understand that, counsel. 507 00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:29,940 But the defendant's conduct was based on the foreseeable reactions of patients. 508 00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:32,560 Dr. Kohler, I am sorry about this. 509 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,340 But I'd like you to walk in front of the jury box and hold your hands out for 510 00:33:36,340 --> 00:33:37,340 inspection. 511 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,640 Your Honor, we have no objection to the jurors touching the hands, if they so 512 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,640 desire. 513 00:33:54,820 --> 00:33:56,080 Good to see you, Dr. Kohler. 514 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,940 The only thing we refused to delete was the financing contingency, but that 515 00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:33,320 appears to be pretty moot. The way banks are busting out today, I just don't 516 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,100 like taking any chances. That's not a problem. The contingency is good for 21 517 00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:38,100 days?
