Ditching the groom at the altar, hand and paw with the 86 00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:15,270 gorilla is... Yesterday's headlines, Grace, 15 minutes of fame. Tomorrow 87 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:18,570 all going to be buzzing about how Sid Hirshberg punched out his own client. 88 00:06:19,370 --> 00:06:20,370 Maybe you're right. 89 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,860 So, where do you want to go to get lunch? 90 00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:27,620 I can't. 91 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,160 I have homework to do. 92 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Meet the candidates. 93 00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:34,240 That's tomorrow night.

It is once again my unpleasant task to remind you of your tardiness 108 00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:22,710 regarding weekly accounting of your billable hours. 109 00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:28,230 Last week, only Stuart Markowitz had his report in on time. A certain other 110 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:32,910 attorney who shall remain nameless, Miss Kelsey, is behind more than four weeks 111 00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:33,829 on her reports. 112 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:34,830 People, please. 113 00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:40,930 When accounting is late, billing is late. When billing is late, cash flow 114 00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:44,270 clogged sewage line is reduced to a trickle. Need I elaborate? 115 00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:51,570 Now, on a more upbeat note, a sizable attaboy to Arnold Becker for recognizing 116 00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:56,310 the cinematic potential of Hillary Mishkin's Rosebush and in securing for 117 00:07:56,310 --> 00:08:01,550 firm a two and one half percent share in the profits of SAME. For those not 118 00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:06,870 aware, the film has opened to glowing reviews and even more importantly, boffo 119 00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:07,869 box office. 120 00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:11,190 And business is even better the second week. Moving on, Victor. 121 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,060 You're representing Jeffrey Sullivan in his cocaine trial? 122 00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:16,540 At my request, yes. 123 00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:21,000 Apparently, the boy trusts no one but Victor. And Sullivan Sr. 124 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,780 was eloquent in his plea for representation. 125 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Like father, like son. 126 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,580 The boy may have embarrassed us, but he's entitled to the best defense 127 00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:29,960 nevertheless. Proceeding. 128 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,659 Who is Evelyn Frost as regards the Gwendolyn Merriwell Trust? 129 00:08:35,450 --> 00:08:38,830 The late Miss Marywell set up a trust for her niece and nephew, and on their 130 00:08:38,830 --> 00:08:42,610 deaths, their share was to provide assistance for the poor of Beverly 131 00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:44,150 Defined as what exactly? 132 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:46,730 Any poor wretch without his own swimming pool? 133 00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:51,010 The nephew has died, and the trustees haven't distributed a dime yet. 134 00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:54,830 The niece wants them to live up to the intent to help poor people wherever they 135 00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:56,950 live. Very noble, Miss Kelsey. 136 00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:02,070 Though perhaps you're forgetting your fiscal responsibility as a partner in 137 00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:05,020 firm? The trustees are sitting on $80 million. 138 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,120 And if my efforts can get them to spend some of it to alleviate some of the 139 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,480 suffering and misery in this world, I happen to think that's more significant 140 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,160 than generating fees for this firm. 141 00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:21,640 Well, I suppose if you shake an $80 million tree, something is bound to fall 142 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,640 way. 143 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,960 Finally, Turtletaub versus Turtletaub. 144 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,520 Unfortunately, we've just found out that Mr. Turtletaub has been... 145 00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:34,690 Less than candid about his community assets. 146 00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:38,670 And Miss Perkins is handling this? Well, she expressed an interest in family 147 00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:42,490 law, and since I'm branching into entertainment, it seemed to make sense. 148 00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:44,770 Anyway, I'll be back stopping her. 149 00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:48,050 Arnold, what the hell is going on here? 150 00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:50,570 I thought we had an equitable agreement worked out. 151 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,920 According to our investigator, your client's been hiding assets in a holding 152 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,320 company in the Netherlands, Antilles. 153 00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:59,040 The same client who testified under penalty of perjury that he was too 154 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,940 impoverished to provide support for his wife and child, forcing my client to 155 00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:04,180 take boarders into her home. 156 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:07,140 It's possible there was an oversight. 157 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,980 Where else have they got it stashed? 158 00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:10,540 Cayman Islands, maybe? 159 00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:11,780 Switzerland? 160 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:17,300 Perhaps my client could be persuaded to throw another $100 ,000 into the 161 00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,620 community pot in consideration of a speedy settlement. 162 00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:24,020 With all due respect, Mr. Prey, I think your client is a bum and a liar. 163 00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:27,520 And until we've had the opportunity to fully investigate all of his financial 164 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,360 assets, there can and will be no settlement. Arnold. Don't look at him. 165 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,040 dealing with me. And we're off the table. 166 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,380 Well, the truth is, I don't know how much I'm going to be able to help you, 167 00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:41,260 Jeffrey. Come on, Mr. Cifuentes. You must have gotten hundreds of guys off 168 00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:43,800 lots worse than this. Jeffrey, it's a dead -bang loser. 169 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280 It was entrapment. Where do you see entrapment? 170 00:10:49,090 --> 00:10:52,490 At the prelim, they played a tape of you boasting to the cop that you'd be able 171 00:10:52,490 --> 00:10:54,210 to get him the greatest stuff north of La Paz. 172 00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:57,830 I wasn't reading my rights. Twenty -three people heard him read you your 173 00:10:58,450 --> 00:10:59,409 It's just a plenty. 174 00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:01,610 Now, don't take this the wrong way. 175 00:11:03,290 --> 00:11:08,510 Can we buy our way out of this? Whoa, listen, kid. That ain't gonna fly. Now, 176 00:11:08,510 --> 00:11:10,270 you're serious about that, you're gonna find yourself another lawyer. 177 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:12,990 I was just joking. 178 00:11:14,170 --> 00:11:15,510 Okay?
