Benny? 29 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,260 Are you and Alice having sex? 30 00:02:04,220 --> 00:02:07,120 Look, if you're going to get me involved here, you're going to have to tell me 31 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,120 what's going on. 32 00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:13,140 Are you and Alice having sexual intercourse? 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,080 No. 34 00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:25,920 So, what you're trying to tell me is that... Alice 35 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:26,920 is pregnant? 36 00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:26,660 Before we go any further, an announcement to all. 37 00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:31,620 In preparation for Friday's softball game against Sheertaf and Heilbrunner, 38 00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:34,720 booked Roxbury Park at 1 o 'clock Wednesday for a practice. 39 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,380 Wait a second. We're missing two working days for this game? It's just an hour 40 00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:43,900 on Wednesday for the practice. The game isn't until 3 o 'clock Friday, so we can 41 00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:46,840 all easily bill a half day. How much is the bet this year? 42 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,120 Paul, there's no bet. 43 00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:49,600 No, wagering would be inappropriate. 44 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,340 This game is simply for fun. 45 00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:53,220 Right. The rules are the same. 46 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,600 It's co -ed with only one male non -lawyer allowed to play per team. 47 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:02,820 Regrettably, Abby has tended an invitation to Benny, who can neither hit 48 00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:06,920 field. Oh, come on. Abby. He wants to play. Make him catch her. Catch her? 49 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,719 there's Roxanne. 50 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,820 What's the matter with Roxanne? 51 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,800 Her diet, that's what. This sudden weight loss has got to affect her 52 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,760 hit the long ball. All right, that's enough from the game. Move on, Douglas. 53 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,760 Shelby versus Carpell. 54 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,880 Pre -trial is filed. We start in three weeks. Ann, you're doing it? 55 00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:24,110 Yes, I am. Is there a problem? 56 00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:29,110 It's just that by then, you'll be almost seven and a half months pregnant and 57 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:30,610 too fat to approach the bench. 58 00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:33,870 I'll manage, Douglas, but thank you for your sensitive concern. 59 00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:36,430 Michael, where are we on people versus Williams? 60 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:39,370 We go next week. That is if we can settle the documents beef. 61 00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:43,530 We're getting a lot of phone calls from the press on this. Well, murder cases 62 00:05:43,530 --> 00:05:45,250 spark a lot of interest. What can I say? 63 00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:47,210 Moving along. 64 00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:50,310 Randall Furriers versus Save the Animal Foundation. 65 00:05:50,570 --> 00:05:52,010 I'm back in court this afternoon. 66 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,680 We've taken a lot of heat on this one. I think we deserve the heat. Sometimes 67 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,360 that kind of protest is exactly what you need. 68 00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:00,380 All right, let's not start this again. 69 00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:04,940 We never finished it. Abby. Killing animals to make fur coats is barbaric, 70 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:08,460 I'd still like to know why we take on clients like this. We took on this 71 00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:12,300 12 years ago when you were still in junior high school. I'm sorry you 72 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:16,060 consulted. There's certainly nothing illegal about making furs, Abby, and 73 00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:19,100 Legal doesn't make it moral, Douglas. That's your opinion. Oh, what, we have a 74 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,120 morality clause for clients now? All right, let's end this debate now. 75 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,400 We're in this case, like it or not, so we have to see it through. 76 00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:26,620 Move on, Douglas. 77 00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,059 That's it. 78 00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,060 We're adjourned. 79 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,360 It's a healthy release. You know, two law firms battling it out on a softball 80 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,360 field. It's wonderful. 81 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,620 Sure, sure. What's the bets? 82 00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:50,480 Well, since we've taken you for 25 each of the last two years... 83 00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:53,960 Figured we'd double it, give you a chance to pull even. 84 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,020 $5 ,000? 85 00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:59,200 Well, that's an awfully big bet on the softball game, Sam. 86 00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:02,100 Always a smooth -talking fundraiser, Leland. 87 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,540 Except when it's time to put up your own nickel. 88 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:07,960 Now, excuse me a second. 89 00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:13,280 Can we win this game? 90 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,640 Definitely. 91 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,800 That's 2 ,500 apiece, Douglas, right out of our pockets. We lost by one run. 92 00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:25,000 Last year, without Victor and Abby, this is the strongest team we've ever had. 93 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Are you sure? 94 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,380 Make the bet. We're gonna crush them. 95 00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:32,900 You're on, Sam. 5 ,000. 96 00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:36,560 Bring a bank check if you don't mind. 97 00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:39,660 See you next Friday. 98 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,100 What are you doing on that thing? 99 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,260 Well, it saves gas, I can skirt through traffic, and it's fun. 100 00:08:07,580 --> 00:08:11,220 I've just never seen you with anything so lethal between your legs. 101 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,860 Well, I have never been on top of anything quite so responsive, that's for 102 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,480 You say, come back. 103 00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:24,040 How you doing, anyway, huh? 104 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,200 I'm fine. Good. 105 00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,860 What brings you to my building? 106 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,400 Well, I was in your building on a discovery map. 107 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,100 Oh, your big murder case, huh? 108 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,199 Mm -hmm. 109 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,679 As a matter of fact, maybe you could help me get a little more cooperation 110 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,679 some of your colleagues. 111 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,460 Now, I never cut you any favors when we were sleeping together. 112 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,720 What makes you think you're going to get any now? 113 00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:55,280 Well, helping people gives one a sense of power and superiority. And as I 114 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,320 recall, you like to feed off that. 115 00:08:58,780 --> 00:09:00,180 Wear a helmet, Counselor. 116 00:09:00,650 --> 00:09:01,650 You can get hurt. 117 00:09:01,930 --> 00:09:03,370 Give me a call sometime, huh? 118 00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:05,490 I will. 119 00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:18,090 Could you describe the nature of these fashion shows for the 120 00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:23,010 court, Mr. Randall? Yes, it's how we display our furs for designers, 121 00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:27,230 wholesalers. They're supposed to be pleasant events, but they haven't been 122 00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:28,770 working out that way. Why not? 123 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,480 Because as our models come down the runway, members of the defendants' group 124 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,040 throw animal blood on them. On the models? Yes, the models, the coats. 125 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:40,840 It's happened over a dozen times in the last three years, and lately it's 126 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,000 happening even more frequently. 127 00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,740 Now, what consequences, if any, have resulted from these incidents, sir? 128 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,200 Well, the main consequence is that my wholesale buyers are staying away. 129 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,200 My sales in the last year have dropped almost 32%. And how does that translate 130 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,059 into dollars? 131 00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:58,020 It translates into about $1 .3 million. 132 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Thank you, sir. 133 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,280 Anything further? 134 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Your company traps and kills animals in Canada to make these furs, right? 135 00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:09,279 That's correct. 136 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360 And these animals often suffer very painful deaths, do they not? Objection. 137 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,220 Whether or not the animals suffer has no relevance here. The defendant's actions 138 00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:19,200 are on trial, not the plaintiff's. Your Honor, I'm trying to establish what 139 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,360 caused my client to act. 140 00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:24,200 They were voicing society's outrage at the place of... If society's outraged, 141 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,940 then they can pass a law. Mr. Cifuentes... Because trapping is 142 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,340 It's legal because they make enough money off these slaughters to lobby 143 00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:32,760 Congress. Objection. Both of you. Congress is lobbied by both sides on 144 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,860 issue, Mr. Trasciuta. And if you don't like the way they've responded, then 145 00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:37,000 it up in Washington. All right. 146 00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:39,560 Now, everybody be quiet. Mr. Cifuentes, sit down. 147 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:43,320 Mr. Trasciuta, I'll give you a little latitude. And Mr. 148 00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:46,020 Randall, just answer the questions you're asked, please. 149 00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:48,980 Thank you, Judge. 150 00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:52,460 How many minks do you murder to make a stall? 151 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,940 Objection. Sustained. Your company kills animals for profit, isn't that right? 152 00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:59,200 Yes, and cigarette companies kill humans. Why don't you chase them? With 153 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,380 cigarettes, at least people have a choice. What choice do these animals 154 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:02,380 People have a choice with birds, too. 155 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,800 Let them make it. What about the animals? You people are lunatics. 156 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Yeah, and you're a murderer. You're sick. You should be in jail. All right, 157 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,220 everybody, be quiet, or I'll clear this courtroom right now. I'll seal this 158 00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:16,880 place. I'll lock up the parties for contempt and the rest of you for 159 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,940 conduct. Now, if you think I'm kidding, just try me. 160 00:11:33,930 --> 00:11:37,550 That tape is inflammatory and it would be an abuse. It depicts the truth, 161 00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:40,450 Mr. Cifuentes is just... I'll stipulate that my client traps animals. I will 162 00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:43,410 stipulate that animals suffer. But there is no point in playing that footage. 163 00:11:43,510 --> 00:11:46,510 You haven't even seen it. I don't need to see it. Nor does anybody else. All 164 00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:47,510 right. 165 00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:51,690 Mr. Cifuentes, I'm going to allow the videotape. Your Honor, that is an abuse 166 00:11:51,690 --> 00:11:54,510 discretion. The jury is entitled to see the activities that motivated the 167 00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:56,750 defendant's conduct. Their motivation is totally irrelevant. 168 00:11:57,130 --> 00:11:59,390 Your claim for punitive damages makes it relevant, doesn't it? 169 00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:01,110 The tape is in. 170 00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:02,610 I'll see you at 2 o 'clock. 171 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:04,500 That's all. 172 00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:14,780 Well, that was a cheap stunt, John. 173 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,399 Cheap crap. 174 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,780 Tell me you wouldn't use it if you were in my shoes. I would not be in your 175 00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:20,880 shoes. Your clients are fanatics. 176 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,640 So maybe they love animals too much. They're well -meaning people, Victor. 177 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,460 What happened in there? Any chance of settlement, counselor? 178 00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:33,640 There's been no settlement at this time, and I don't even know how many further 179 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,640 comments. 180 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Murderers! You defend murderers! 181 00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:40,660 Are you out of your mind? Murderers! You're such a foul animal! 182 00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,200 Hey, how the hell do you let these people in here like that? 183 00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,340 Come on, relax. Get on there.

I was trying mine on. 193 00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:28,380 Stuart, you're not thinking of playing in that game, are you? 194 00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:30,140 The team needs me, Ann. 195 00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:33,800 We have a Lamaze class on Friday, don't you remember? 196 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,660 The class voted to do it in the afternoon so everybody could leave early 197 00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:41,900 weekend. Yeah, I know, but since we're doing one tomorrow, I thought I could 198 00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:42,900 skip Friday. 199 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,400 I'm third base, Ann. 200 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:46,780 I don't believe this. 201 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,640 I have spent the last seven months nurturing our child inside me. 202 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,180 And you're willing to risk everything to be third base. 203 00:13:54,540 --> 00:13:57,620 And you skipped out of the class last week five minutes early so you could get 204 00:13:57,620 --> 00:13:58,620 home to watch 30 -something. 205 00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:02,160 That was an episode on childbirth. It was responsible television. 206 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,200 Right. Every time you do something, it's justified. Every time I do something, 207 00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:07,220 I'm being unreasonable, right? 208 00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:13,040 You really think it's reasonable to skip a Lamaze class to run around in spandex 209 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,040 knickers? 210 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,840 It's only the biggest game of the year. 211 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,740 Do whatever you want, Stuart. 212 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,820 Ann. No, it's fine. 213 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,380 Fine? Fine. 214 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,940 I've asked Miss Perkins to join us. She's very close to Benny. Look, I don't 215 00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:35,559 give a damn. 216 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,860 This is none of your business. 217 00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:40,850 It's none of hers either. Well, I don't disagree with that, but we've become 218 00:14:40,850 --> 00:14:45,470 almost de facto guardians of Benny, and I thought since this does involve him, 219 00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:47,270 it would be... How the hell does it involve him? 220 00:14:48,890 --> 00:14:53,450 I assume it's Benny's child that's being aborted here? Whoa, whoa! 221 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:57,690 I don't know what Benny's told you, but my daughter is not pregnant, and she's 222 00:14:57,690 --> 00:14:59,010 not going in for any abortion. 223 00:14:59,570 --> 00:15:01,470 Then what's going on? 224 00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:04,630 Alice is going in to be sterilized. 225 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,720 Sterilized? Why? 226 00:15:06,820 --> 00:15:10,060 Because she and Benny are having sexual intercourse, that's why, and she could 227 00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:11,100 never take care of a baby. 228 00:15:11,420 --> 00:15:14,180 With all due respect, Mr. Hackett, there is birth control. 229 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Yes, there is. 230 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,640 I put her on the pill, and she kept forgetting to take it. 231 00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:23,520 IUDs aren't safe, and she can't get the hang of using a diaphragm. 232 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,400 Look, I'm sure that you have given this a lot of thought, but to sterilize her, 233 00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:31,380 that's the most radical thing you could ever do. 234 00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:36,830 Believe me, Miss Perkins, I've agonized over this more than you could ever know. 235 00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:41,250 But she is growing up. Now, like it or not, if I want her to be normalized, I 236 00:15:41,250 --> 00:15:43,330 have to be willing to let her have a sex life. 237 00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:48,150 The reality is she has the operative intelligence of an eight -year -old. 238 00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:52,030 incapable of practicing birth control. She's incapable of raising a child. 239 00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:55,850 An abortion or an adoption would be devastating for her. 240 00:15:57,250 --> 00:16:00,190 As radical as a sterilization may be, 241 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,840 It's still the most responsible thing I can do 242 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:10,580 Okay third base 243 00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:15,100 plays the first here we go here we go Come 244 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:27,460 on 245 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:28,460 pick it up 246 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,660 Let's go. Let's go. 247 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,860 Come on, Benny. 248 00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:36,220 Be alert. 249 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,700 Catcher's got to be alert. 250 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,960 He's the backbone. 251 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:53,180 You're late, both of you. Hey, sorry, 252 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,320 coach. 253 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,800 Okay, turn two. Turn two. 254 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,040 Looking sharp. Looking sharp. 255 00:17:00,099 --> 00:17:03,220 That's the way. That's the way. We're a team. We're a team. 256 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,840 Let's hear the chatter. 257 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:15,359 And between the years of 1981 258 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,339 and 1986, you, in fact, trapped animals whose furs you sold to the plaintiff, 259 00:17:19,339 --> 00:17:22,839 correct? That's correct. And is this tape we're about to see a fair and 260 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,460 representation of the trapping process? 261 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,559 It is. 262 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,640 Your Honor, I renew my objection to the introduction of this evidence. 263 00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:30,580 Yes, and I overrule you again. 264 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Play the tape. 265 00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:06,940 Okay, Mr. 266 00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:08,720 Trishuta, we've seen enough. 267 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,920 Turn it off. 268 00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:20,020 Could you describe this thing for us, Mr. Calder? 269 00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:28,820 It's a standard one and a half. It's got the double jaws, which most trappers 270 00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:29,820 want nowadays. 271 00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:30,900 Why do they want a double jaw? 272 00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:34,360 Well, most trappers can't check the traps on a daily basis. 273 00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:38,190 If you give the animals enough time, they'll chew off their legs to free 274 00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,190 themselves. 275 00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:42,650 They chew off their own limbs. 276 00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:47,270 Right. They gnaw at their feet right below this jaw right here. Now, the 277 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:51,850 jaw clamps on a part of the leg that they can't get at. So even if you have a 278 00:18:51,850 --> 00:18:56,050 wolf or fox or whatever and it chews its foot off, the trapper doesn't lose his 279 00:18:56,050 --> 00:18:59,810 catch. And how long does an animal stay trapped like this? A couple days, maybe 280 00:18:59,810 --> 00:19:00,810 a week. 281 00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:03,370 Depends on how fast the trapper gets back to his trap. 282 00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:04,559 And then what happens? 283 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,980 Well, if it hadn't already bled to death, you'd have to kill it. And how is 284 00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,760 accomplished? How do you kill your catch? 285 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:12,880 Well, if you're near water, we usually drown them. 286 00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:16,820 That's the best way. That way you don't hurt the pelt. If that's not possible, 287 00:19:17,020 --> 00:19:20,460 you club it to death, or if you have a gun, you shoot it. 288 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,440 Some trappers have a long spear, and they stab it. 289 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,080 There's all kinds of different ways. 290 00:19:25,580 --> 00:19:26,580 Thank you, sir. 291 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,720 Nothing further. 292 00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:42,900 I don't have any questions. 293 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,040 Well, you can't pull out now, and you know that. It would be a mistrial. 294 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,140 Not if someone else in the firm took it over. Maybe Michael or Jonathan. Oh, 295 00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:58,700 come on, Victor. That's crazy. 296 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,540 I just can't do it, okay? I can't. You've defended murderers, drug dealers, 297 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,340 rapists. Now you've got a law -abiding client. 298 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,680 who's a legitimate victim, and you say you can't do it. I know, I know. 299 00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:18,840 It's just that after seeing that tape, Leland, how they make those furs, I just 300 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,020 can't stomach being their lawyer. 301 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,960 Well, you will stomach it. 302 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,160 Anything else will be malpractice. I'm willing to risk death. 303 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,440 Well, I'm not. 304 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,560 You'd also be risking our contingent fee, which could be upwards of $200 305 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,460 Oh, come on now. Well, we've invested over $100 ,000 in time on this case. I 306 00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:38,700 don't intend to give that away. 307 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,060 Everything can't always be about money, Leland. Oh, it's not always about money 308 00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:44,580 with me, Victor, and you know that. 309 00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:52,020 The truth is, we haven't had a big win around here in over four months. The 310 00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:54,460 revenues are down, and this is a good chance to make some of it up. 311 00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,520 You're going to have to do better than that with me. I don't have to do better 312 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,139 than that. 313 00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:00,960 You want a good reason to keep going, Counselor?

Now, we're all about to become parents, right? 370 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:38,800 And to the extent that each of us can recapture our own childhood and our 371 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,140 of growing up and, as I said, my playing in this game. 372 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,100 It's a chance for all of us to remember that a dream, whatever that dream may 373 00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:52,980 be, must never be repressed or ignored. 374 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,700 Play the game. 375 00:24:58,020 --> 00:24:59,020 What? 376 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840 You should definitely play. I'll tutor you on what you missed Friday. 377 00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:05,100 I can play? 378 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,840 All right! I don't believe this. 379 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,080 Anne. 380 00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:11,300 Play ball, Markowitz. 381 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,320 I don't apologize for cutting into their profits when those profits are derived 382 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,780 from killing innocent animals. 383 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,440 But throwing blood on people, vandalizing private property, that's a 384 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,340 extreme, isn't it? First of all, it isn't real blood. It's a dye. 385 00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:30,280 And yes, we are extreme. We have to be to get attention. 386 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:33,900 It's only through exposure that we can create public awareness. 387 00:25:34,260 --> 00:25:36,920 But what about working to change the laws instead of resorting to violence? 388 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,920 We are working to change the laws, but it takes a long time. So you see fit. 389 00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:43,380 To break the law. 390 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,280 None of us enjoys being arrested, but if we have to go to jail to stop the 391 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,900 atrocities being committed by these corporations, that's a sacrifice we're 392 00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:52,900 prepared to make. 393 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,200 Thank you, Mrs. Barrett. 394 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,840 Nothing further. 395 00:26:00,580 --> 00:26:04,380 It's not just the corporations you attack, is it, Mrs. Barrett? Your group 396 00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:07,920 members have also splashed people on the streets wearing furs, right? 397 00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:11,260 Again, I wish we didn't have to take actions like this. But you do. 398 00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:12,409 Don't you? 399 00:26:12,410 --> 00:26:16,690 Yes. And sometimes you've hit people wearing synthetic furs, correct? We 400 00:26:16,690 --> 00:26:19,790 mean to victimize these people, but some... But you do, don't you? 401 00:26:21,270 --> 00:26:22,189 It's happened. 402 00:26:22,190 --> 00:26:26,290 It's happened. And sometimes some of the people that you've hit wear furs that 403 00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:29,990 come from fur ranchers and not traps, right? Makes no difference. The fur 404 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:31,610 ranchers are cruel, too. Wait a second. 405 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,760 This big presentation we had here about the evils of trapping and suddenly it 406 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,200 makes no difference? The point is, anybody who buys furs is guilty of 407 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280 contributing to the killing of innocent animals. Well, what about the people who 408 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,280 eat meat? 409 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,940 The people who eat beef, chicken, and fish contribute to the killing of 410 00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:49,960 animals too, don't they? 411 00:26:50,340 --> 00:26:53,700 Yes. And people who sit in leather seats? 412 00:26:54,570 --> 00:26:57,730 They're guilty too, aren't they? Leather is the skin of an animal, Mr. 413 00:26:57,870 --> 00:27:01,570 Cifuentes. Uh -huh, so that when we see kids kicking leather soccer balls in the 414 00:27:01,570 --> 00:27:03,130 park, we should just splatter them with blood? 415 00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:05,190 Objection! We never threw blood on anybody. 416 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:08,870 Sustained. How about the folks who wear wool, Mrs. Barrett? Wool shearing causes 417 00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:12,590 sheep to suffer stress and overexposure to the cold. The sheep suffer sores and 418 00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:13,169 get infected. 419 00:27:13,170 --> 00:27:13,829 I see, I see. 420 00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:16,770 And ma 'am, how does your organization feel about using animals for medical 421 00:27:16,770 --> 00:27:18,670 research? We are against it. Well... 422 00:27:18,940 --> 00:27:22,120 Better for a little child to die of cancer than to kill a mouse, right? 423 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:25,780 for restaurants to be infested with vermin than ever call an exterminator. 424 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,320 Sepuente. Better to save a rat than to wipe out a plague. 425 00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:30,220 Objection! Mr. Sepuente, that's enough. 426 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,520 Withdrawn. 427 00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:34,540 Animals matter more than people to you, don't they? 428 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,020 Animals are more deserving than people. 429 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,280 A lot of times. 430 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,840 Thank you, Mrs. Barrett, for showing us exactly where you stand. 431 00:27:44,140 --> 00:27:45,140 Nothing further. 432 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:53,680 She's afraid to tell her father, and he doesn't believe me when I tell him, so I 433 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,100 think... We can't afford to butt in here. It's none of our business. 434 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,160 Involuntary sterilization is illegal. 435 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,280 We cannot just look the other way while this guy... Come on. 436 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,440 No doctor's gonna do it unless he's convinced of the consent. You're talking 437 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,960 about risking a million -dollar client. And for what? So Alice can get pregnant 438 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,880 one day and have a kid? Does anybody here really believe she should be a 439 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,120 Retarded people can make very good parents. 440 00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:17,860 But more likely they'll make bad ones. 441 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,000 Alice's IQ is lower than Benny's, and to tell you the truth, I... I don't think 442 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000 Benny could raise a kid. 443 00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:26,740 Look, we could argue all day and never agree. 444 00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:31,520 The only thing we can and should agree on is that it would be stupid for us to 445 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,479 get involved. 446 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,420 You know, we may not have a choice. 447 00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:38,080 What? Like Ann said, forced sterilization is illegal in California. 448 00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:42,740 And if we know that Alice is about to be sterilized, we also know that a crime 449 00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:46,660 is about to be committed. In which case, as officers of the court, we may have 450 00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:47,660 to come forward. 451 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,380 That's crazy. No, we don't. We have no standing. 452 00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:51,960 There's a conflict of interest. 453 00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:56,760 Well, if not legally or ethically, then at least morally. We don't have time to 454 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,400 go around taking moral stands. 455 00:28:58,860 --> 00:28:59,860 Then make time. 456 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,060 Cancel the damn softball game. You're overreacting. 457 00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:08,140 All right, that's enough. Now, look, regardless of our personal feelings, 458 00:29:08,140 --> 00:29:13,260 sterilization is legal in other states. Even if we stop this here, Leo Hackett 459 00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:16,620 can just fly his daughter to another state where they won't stop him. 460 00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:21,070 So why alienate a million -dollar client when no purpose will be served? 461 00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:25,690 So let's stop him here and then enjoin him from taking her to any other state. 462 00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:29,430 Well, we can't do that, and you know it. Now, the bottom line is, if Leo Hackett 463 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:33,550 is determined to sterilize his daughter, there is nothing we can do to stop him. 464 00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:37,950 It is, therefore, the position of this firm not to try. 465 00:29:39,070 --> 00:29:40,210 This meeting's adjourned. 466 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,480 The issue here is not whether animals should die needlessly to satisfy human 467 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,480 wants. 468 00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:13,580 Like it or not, that happens. 469 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,980 Animals die because they please our palates. Not because they're necessary 470 00:30:18,980 --> 00:30:20,520 our diets, but because they taste good. 471 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,780 They die so that we can wear leather, so we can make footballs out of pig skins. 472 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,160 They die sometimes because wool feels softer than polyester. This is the human 473 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,000 race, ladies and gentlemen, and we are higher up on the food chain. 474 00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:35,540 Now... 475 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,400 You don't have to feel good about that. 476 00:30:38,940 --> 00:30:42,960 Nor do you even have to like my client. That is a matter of individual choice, 477 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,560 also known as a freedom. 478 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,800 But whatever your beliefs are on anything, if you break a law and resort 479 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,200 violence to impose your beliefs on others, then you are guilty of 480 00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:58,240 And if you endorse that, if you say that it's okay to disregard a law just 481 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,140 because you don't like something, well, then we're all in trouble. 482 00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:10,600 As a direct result of the defendant's illegal activity, my client lost $1 483 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:16,220 .3 million. It is that simple. And all the protesting, all the blood, all the 484 00:31:16,220 --> 00:31:17,780 finger -pointing, can't change that. 485 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,100 And shouldn't keep you from recognizing it. 486 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,240 Thank you. 487 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,340 Where do we start drawing the line? 488 00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:47,900 He's right. 489 00:31:48,780 --> 00:31:51,040 If you're going to get upset about fur, then what about meat? 490 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,720 I mean, we shouldn't have to be a vegetarian society. 491 00:31:55,140 --> 00:31:56,140 And leather? 492 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,820 Well, leather's not as bad either, since leather goods, unlike fur, are 493 00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:02,380 byproducts from animals killed specifically for food. 494 00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:05,280 And laboratory research? 495 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,720 Like Mr. Cifuentes said, those experiments could lead to a cure for 496 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,669 something. 497 00:32:10,670 --> 00:32:14,290 Yeah, I guess you can always legitimize killing animals if you look hard enough. 498 00:32:15,690 --> 00:32:22,610 Except, except when animals are murdered for no other reason 499 00:32:22,610 --> 00:32:24,270 than to serve our sense of vanity. 500 00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:29,150 I have no trouble drawing the line there, ladies and gentlemen. 501 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:35,130 When animals are slaughtered so that we can prance around exuding luxury, 502 00:32:35,210 --> 00:32:38,750 you can draw your damn line right there. 503 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,660 Now, we can't have people running around breaking laws just because they don't 504 00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:45,660 like something. I agree. 505 00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:50,120 But my client's people were arrested for it. They did jail time. They paid their 506 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,120 debt to society. 507 00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:56,900 What we have here is a civil trial, folks, and a civil trial is not about 508 00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:58,500 punishment. It's about compensation. 509 00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:04,460 They are here asking you to award them money. 510 00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:06,300 You saw that tape. 511 00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:10,560 You saw what they do. 512 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,040 I don't know whether to appreciate all your concern and just sue you for 513 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,040 harassment. 514 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,400 Well, I'm not here to do battle, Bill. 515 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,960 If you wish still to sterilize your daughter, my firm won't stand in your 516 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,620 Nevertheless, you didn't show up to help deliver the morning paper. 517 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000 No, no. 518 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:48,940 Well, I just wanted to see you because, personally, I think that what you're 519 00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:50,140 about to do is wrong. 520 00:33:54,410 --> 00:33:56,570 What would happen if she ever had a child? 521 00:33:57,670 --> 00:33:59,650 I'm a widower, Leland, pushing 60. 522 00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:02,010 I could never take on that kind of responsibility. 523 00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:05,530 And if I didn't, they'd take the baby away. 524 00:34:07,270 --> 00:34:09,870 My daughter could never recover from a pain like that. 525 00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:13,670 I'm told your daughter isn't sure about this. 526 00:34:14,530 --> 00:34:17,630 One minute she agrees, the next she doesn't know. She's retarded. 527 00:34:18,929 --> 00:34:20,510 She doesn't know what's best for her. 528 00:34:21,790 --> 00:34:23,330 Are you sure that you do? 529 00:34:31,650 --> 00:34:34,030 No. Parenting is a very inexact science, my friend. 530 00:34:35,469 --> 00:34:39,370 All you can do is love your child and do what you think is best. 531 00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:40,909 And that's what I'm doing here. 532 00:34:42,030 --> 00:34:43,210 I don't doubt that. 533 00:34:44,350 --> 00:34:45,510 And you may be right. 534 00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:50,409 The fact is, I have a hard time seeing Benny as a parent. 535 00:34:51,449 --> 00:34:57,800 But what I have seen in Benny is... enormous capacity to develop and grow, 536 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,160 and a still bigger capacity to love. 537 00:35:01,020 --> 00:35:06,240 And that combination makes it difficult to preclude the fact that he could be a 538 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,240 parent. 539 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,040 I really think I'm making the right call, Leland. 540 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,420 Could be right, could be wrong. The only thing I'm telling you is that it's 541 00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:19,420 premature. 542 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,600 And what do we do in the meantime? 543 00:35:25,230 --> 00:35:27,690 In the meantime, I talk to Benny. 544 00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:31,690 I make sure he wears a prophylactic. And if he doesn't? 545 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:36,350 It's not like you'll be there at the appropriate moment, Leland. 546 00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:39,170 But I trust him. 547 00:35:40,070 --> 00:35:45,770 And if I'm not sure he's being responsible about it, then we chaperone 548 00:35:46,610 --> 00:35:51,230 Well, that's still less extreme than a sterilization. 549 00:35:53,330 --> 00:35:55,510 Okay. For now, I'll hold off. 550 00:35:57,130 --> 00:35:58,970 I just pray to God this works out. 551 00:36:00,730 --> 00:36:01,730 So do I. 552 00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:08,270 Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a verdict? 553 00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:13,510 We have, Your Honor. What say you? In the matter of Randall Furrier's ink 554 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:16,870 Save the Animals Foundation, we find in favor of the defendant. 555 00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:20,610 Your Honor. 556 00:36:20,670 --> 00:36:24,350 Motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or in the alternative of a new 557 00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:28,150 trial. Opposed. I'll see counsel in my chambers immediately. 558 00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:33,630 Members of the jury, it is my custom at this time to dismiss you and to thank 559 00:36:33,630 --> 00:36:34,790 you for your service. 560 00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:39,130 Unfortunately, however, all I can do here is dismiss you. 561 00:36:40,070 --> 00:36:44,370 And I would be remiss if I didn't convey to you just how disappointed I am in 562 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:45,370 your decision. 563 00:36:45,590 --> 00:36:49,290 If you had found for the plaintiff but denied punitive damages, I could have 564 00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:50,290 that stand. 565 00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:54,830 If you had awarded nominal compensatory damages, I could have let that stand. 566 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:58,970 But an outright verdict for the defendant when the facts were so clearly 567 00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:02,670 uncontroverted suggests to me that you were not impartial. 568 00:37:03,370 --> 00:37:07,370 That you disregarded the law in order to punish a plaintiff that you didn't 569 00:37:07,370 --> 00:37:08,370 like. 570 00:37:08,510 --> 00:37:11,370 Now, yes, my stomach was turned by that videotape, too. 571 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:15,470 And I'm sure the lawyers were affected by the footage as well. But we all 572 00:37:15,470 --> 00:37:18,150 continued to do our jobs. You people didn't. 573 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:24,080 You let yourselves become inflamed, and you ignored your obligation to be 574 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,080 objective. 575 00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:30,880 Now, I blame myself for admitting the tape into evidence, but more than that, 576 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,940 blame myself for putting so much trust in you because you failed miserably. 577 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:44,180 Motion for JNOV is denied, but the verdict is set aside. Motion for a new 578 00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:45,180 is granted. 579 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,880 I'll see counsel in chambers. 580 00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:48,300 That's all. 581 00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:20,980 It's time for a change. 582 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,400 I'm just finding my rhythm, Leland. Now you're coming in straight and fat. 583 00:38:25,060 --> 00:38:28,900 Look, it's only the third inning. Just let me... Look, you got us down by three 584 00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:31,060 runs already. I can't wait for you to turn around. 585 00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:33,240 Abby! This is ridiculous. 586 00:38:33,860 --> 00:38:38,020 If I was a lawyer, I wouldn't be yanked. This is typical of the type of respect 587 00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:40,280 secretaries get around here. Second base. 588 00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:43,200 I get no support. The fielding stinks. 589 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,240 Second base, Roxanne. 590 00:38:51,820 --> 00:38:52,820 Just give him a jump. 591 00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:54,500 In and out.

Well, I got a little winded running the bases and I started to pant and 595 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,680 gasp and naturally I thought about all of you. 596 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,700 And I figured that as good as childhood dreams may be, parenthood dreams are 597 00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:45,700 better. 598 00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:49,460 If I could get up, I'd kiss you, honey. 599 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:50,920 Lie there and wheeze. 600 00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:53,140 I'll take over now.

The jury threw the 605 00:40:16,690 --> 00:40:17,810 trial down the dumper. 606 00:40:19,370 --> 00:40:22,530 Since I'm the one that's wearing the robe, I'm the one that's got to fix it. 607 00:40:23,910 --> 00:40:26,350 So, let's fix it, gentlemen, right now. 608 00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:29,080 What are you saying, Your Honor? 609 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:35,640 I'm saying that he's about to make an offer of $100 ,000, and you're about to 610 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160 accept.
