Objection to the question, Your Honor, and I renew my 185 00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:10,700 objection as to the admissibility of Professor Lahamudu's testimony in 186 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520 What's at issue here is whether my client stole it and how much it was 187 00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:19,020 The manner in which the bull expresses himself is of no relevance whatsoever. 188 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Tell that to the bull. 189 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,060 Your Honor, it's imperative that the jury understand the intricate process 190 00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:28,520 involved here. Come on. We all know how it works. 191 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,360 It's not that simple, Judge. 192 00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:35,820 They don't just send the bull behind a hayloft with a magazine and a baggie. 193 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:37,280 Miss Van Owen. 194 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,500 It is a protracted and expensive process, Your Honor. One which the dairy 195 00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,020 industry takes very seriously. 196 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,660 Look, I'll let him briefly describe it, but keep it short. 197 00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:47,940 Thank you, Your Honor. 198 00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:49,420 Please continue, Professor. 199 00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:55,110 Certainly. The bull is led from the pen into a collection area. If he's an 200 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:59,610 experienced animal, he knows what's coming, so he's already in a state of 201 00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:02,170 excitation. What happens next? 202 00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:05,570 By this time, the technician has tethered a stimulus. 203 00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:12,190 I should add that most of the time a male stimulus is used to prevent 204 00:13:12,190 --> 00:13:16,250 intromission. You mean the bull will engage with another male? 205 00:13:16,510 --> 00:13:18,850 A sexually naive animal, no. 206 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,860 but a mature bull will mount almost anything. 207 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Miss Van Owen. 208 00:13:24,460 --> 00:13:26,160 We're almost finished, Your Honor. 209 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:33,580 After the bull mounts, the animal technician takes hold of his... Can I 210 00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:36,000 say the P word? Just continue. 211 00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:41,760 He takes hold of the member and inserts it into an artificial... 212 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,200 Can I say the V word? 213 00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:48,480 Counsel, in my chambers, right now. 214 00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:09,780 Why don't you call Peter? 215 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,080 I tried him. 216 00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:12,520 Can you believe he has a girlfriend? 217 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:16,040 To tell you the truth, my feelings are a little hurt. 218 00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:17,480 You can't blame him. 219 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,880 You didn't give him much encouragement. 220 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Since when do men need encouragement? 221 00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:23,480 Whatever happened to ardent pursuit? 222 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,860 You could go by yourself, you know.

But maybe he'd like to meet you, 235 00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:58,260 you know, like later in life. 236 00:14:58,420 --> 00:15:00,460 And Marty Shriver just got married. You believe that? 237 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Unbelievable. 238 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,240 And Danny Glovis thanked me profusely, but he's taken a vow of chastity.
