All language subtitles for Drop Dead Diva (2009) - S02E08 - Queen of Mean (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 Celdra)_track3_[eng]

See that aspiring model there?

That was me, Deb,

until the day I died.

I thought I'd go
straight to heaven,

but there was
a bit of a mix-up,

and I woke up
in someone else's body.

So now I'm Jane,

a super-busy lawyer
with my very own assistant.

I got a new life,
a new wardrobe.

And the only people who know
what's going on with me

are my girlfriend, Stacy,
and my guardian angel, Fred.

I used to think everything
happened for a reason.

And, well,
I sure hope I was right.

It's not fair.
I dreamt I had Larry King's baby

and you get
an entire dance number

with Thunder From Down Under?

It was such a nice dream
until Hank the Bailiff.

Who's Hank the Bailiff?

Remember? He's the guy
that Jane dated

before I became Jane.

Why was he in my sexy dream?

Well, the hunky men
represent the dance partners

missing from your life
right now.

And your subconscious
is telling you

it is time
to start dating again.

Oh, you're good at this.

I know.
You need to start with Hank.

What? No.
Why can't I start

with one of the Thunder
From Down Unders?

I'd pick Number 3.Jane.

No, Hank is sweet and all,
but we don't have anything.

Did you give him a real shot?

Sweetie,
old Jane really liked him.

So, maybe you owe it to her
to see if there are any sparks.

Fine, I owe her.

I'll pay her back with
an expensive haircut. Mm.

What if we threw a dinner party
and you invited Hank?

It'd be a date
with a safety net.

Oh, I'll marinate lamb chops.

I saw this great recipe
in Real Simple.

You don't read Real Simple.I do at the gyno.

It was either that
or a pamphlet about the uterus.

All right, fine.
I will ask him. Now...

check this out.

Whoa, ha, ha.

An Ellie Tannen scarf.

To wear at my meeting
with Ellie Tannen.

No way.

She's looking for new lawyers.
I feel that this scarf says:

"I'm not a stodgy lawyer.

I'm part of
your tasteful tribe."

Jane, you know Ellie
is a total monster.

I can handle monsters.

Remember that Tic Tac shoot
I did with a Komodo dragon?

Well, this dragon's
a thrower.

Office supplies,
lattes, stilettos.

So I'll duck.

I am going to get Ellie
to like me.

It's perfect.

Thank you.
Gotta go.

Oh, um, one more thing.
Ellie hates the word "no."

So that means--I know what "no" means.

It means that if you can't do
what she asks,

just smile and nod,

and say,
"It won't be a problem."

It won't be a problem.

She's going to love you.

I hope.

Can you believe Angelina Jolie
walks this very corridor

every time she comes
for a fitting with Ellie?

And that matters to me
because...?

Um-- Because Angelina
could trip, sue Ellie,

and if Ellie
were our client,

we could make a fortune

on a protracted,
high-profile trial.

Good thinking, Bingum.

There she is.

Mr. Parker, Ms. Bingum.

I'm Hugo,
Ellie's executive assistant.

She's ready.Thank you.

I need you
to start without me.

Why? What's going on?

I'll be right in.
I just need a moment.

We know you're interviewing
other firms.

Chase & Funk,
Marmel & Fletcher.

They're good,
but Harrison & Parker

has expertise
in all areas of the law

that are of interest
to your business.

Copyright,
Intellectual property...

Hugo, is that my scarf?

Yes.

What have you done
to my poor scarf?

Do you have some head wound?

No, um...

I saw it like this
in the window of Bloomie's.

As I was saying--Call Bloomingdale's.

Have them fire
the window dresser.

Oh, no, no.

Ms. Tannen, I'm so sorry.

I was wearing your beautiful
scarf exactly like you.

Then I thought
being matchy-matchy

might make you
uncomfortable.

How refreshing.

A lawyer who cares
about my feelings.

Come, let's go to lunch.

I have a pressing legal matter
I want to discuss.

So we're hired?

Yes.

But only she's coming to eat.

I don't know.
I feel so stupid.

We never even thought
to make a will.

It was a car accident.

Unfortunately, Ms. Webb,
this happens all the time.

Have you filed a claim
with the probate court?

Yes.

Your in-laws are making
the same claim?

They want everything.

They didn't even come
to their daughter's funeral.

Your spouse
was their daughter?

Yes, Melanie.

You and your wife
had a civil union?

No, Ms. Kaswell.

When we got married,
I was a man.

Please, can you help me?

We'll do everything we can.

Waiter.WAITER: Yes?

More, please.

That's enough.

So here's why
I asked you to lunch.

My former assistant,
Dawn Lucas,

had the audacity
to write a book about me.

Wow. Did you read it?

First two chapters.
She sent it to publishers.

Of course, there was a bidding
war because of my name.

We're done.Let me clear that, ma'am.

I'm so-- I just--
Just a little.

Um... So you feel that
the book is unflattering?

She makes me out to be abusive.
It's pure fiction.

Legally, we have to wait
until the book is released.

But then we can sue for libel.

I want you to stop the book
before it's published.

That's not how it works. Uh...

The freedom of speech

is the foundation
of our country.

If you can't help me,

I'll ask the waiter
to put your salmon dijonnaise

in a doggy bag.

So, Jane, can you stop
the publication

of this book or not?

It won't be a problem.

Ah. The prodigal lawyer returns.

Oh. Were you waiting for me?

What? No,
I just had some business

here in reception.

What's Ellie got for us?

A total dog.

She wants me to file
an injunction

to stop a tell-all
from being published.

Which would be prior restraint,
and you'd lose.

Yeah, I know.
It's impossible.

Even the US government
couldn't use prior restraint

to stop the Pentagon Papers.

As Justice Black said:

"To hold that the publication
of news may be enjoined

would make a shambles
of the First Amendment."

Oh. Oh. Ha-ha-ha.

I'd have a tough time
arguing that a trashy book

is a threat
to national security.

Agreed.

So, what do I do?

If the law is against you,
bang on the facts.

If the facts are against you,
bang on the law.

If both are against you,
bang on the table.

That's a lot of banging.

You have a fiduciary duty
to your client.

The relationship is sacred.

Especially if the client
handed you a big fat retainer.

Bang, bang.

You ready to meet
our client's in-laws?

I was thinking,
do you really need me?

You seem to have it
under control.

Wow. You're that uncomfortable
around Allison

that you have to
remove yourself?

No.

Okay, maybe a little.

I mean, I completely respect
his-- Her--

Her.

Right.

Look, the client needs
an alpha male in our team.

If you can accept Allison,

then no one else
should have a problem.

You see me as an alpha male?

I see you as a prop
in this case.

If you're uncomfortable,
keep your mouth shut.

Mr. and Mrs. Walters,
we're sorry for your loss.

But we can come
to a reasonable settlement.

Oh, really? Is there a price
that you can put on humiliation?

We couldn't send out
family Christmas cards

or attend family reunions.

You chose not to.

You know how much
that hurt Melanie?

Melanie died
without children.

Without a will, the property
goes to the spouse first,

then to the parents.

And Allison is the spouse.

Spouse, please.

Not under California Law.

Look, Allison isn't trying
to get rich here.

She simply wants to stay
in the home

she shared
with your daughter,

keep her personal belongings--

Everything that belonged
to Melanie belongs to us.

Taking away Melanie's things

won't take away
what we had together.

She was everything to me.

You did this to yourself.

Hi, Stacy's voicemail.

So I am at the courthouse,

and I'm pretending
to be talking to you,

so that I look fake-busy
when I fake-bump into Hank

and invite him to our
date-slash-fake dinner party.

Um-- Oh, there he is.
Bye.

Hank.Jane.

How are you?Good, good.

It's been a while.Yeah.

Um-- How have you been?

Oh, you know, Shelby
in Arraignments got transferred.

Threw off everyone's schedule.
Been total chaos.

I bet.Yeah.

So I know that this is
last-minute,

um, but my roommate and I

are throwing
a dinner party tomorrow.

Why don't you come?

I'd love to.Oh, great.

Around 7?I can't wait.

Me too.Okay.

Okay.

Our first challenge:

We have to survive
their motion to dismiss--

Ms. Tannen,

are any of the allegations
in the book true?

You really expect
to stop publication?

Have you spoken with Dawn?

No photo ops. No sound bites.
Keep walking.

Parker. Hi.

I said I wanted her,
not you.

Oh, I'm just here
to observe silently.

Hmm.REPORTER: Ms. Tannen.

Thought of a new
cause of action yet?

Maybe. I'm not sure.

Dawn, how does it feel
to be a hero

for underappreciated
assistants?

What are you hoping to gain
by publishing?

I wanna tell my side
of the story.

She's hoping to get rich
by telling lies.

Just because you're the boss,

doesn't mean
you can treat people bad.

Badly.
It's an adverb.

How can you write a book
when you don't know grammar?

Don't believe a word
she says or writes.

I move to dismiss
Ms. Bingum's complaint.

No court has countenanced
prior restraint.

Your Honor, he's right. Uh--

Which is why we are suing
for defamation.

Defamation? Heh.JANE: Yes.

The book's not even published.

The book's written
by an incompetent

who couldn't make coffee.

Quiet.
And no sunglasses in my court.

Take them off.

Take them off,
take them off.

Your Honor, Dawn Lucas
sent the first two chapters

to 20 publishers.

As soon as any one of them
read it,

it was de facto published.

Publication doesn't require

that the book is sitting
on the shelf at Barnes & Noble.

Every person in Starbucks
with a laptop

is a published author?Once they press send, yes.

An unorthodox argument,
but the logic is sound.

Motion to dismiss denied.
I'll see you all tomorrow.

Nice. Might have a shot.

You? Too much cologne.

You smell like the back
of a New York cab.

And you.

Tomorrow try not to whine.
It's grating.

I just got us a trial.

Really? Bragging?

Suddenly I'm nostalgic
for the whining.

Charming, isn't she?

Do something about her.

If her own lawyer
doesn't like her,

the jury's gonna hate her.

Will the witness
please answer the question.

That's ridiculous.
She was a loud chewer.

I couldn't focus
with all of the noise.

I had to forbid her to eat
anything crunchy or crispy.

You're in contempt.

Ellie, if you
explode like that in court,

you play right into their hands.

So you need to act like
the questions don't bother you.

I'm waiting, counselor.

Did you send Ms. Lucas
to Nordstrom

to remove
a mannequin's clothing

simply because it was
displaying Donna Karan?

Donna Karan
is a glorified home-ec teacher.

Okay, really, really close.

A better response
might have been:

"The clothes
were out of season.

I was helping Nordstrom
stay current."

Maybe I can help.

When I'm asked a question
that pisses me off,

I first smile,
tilt my head to the left,

and quietly think, "Bite me,"
before I answer.

I do it every time my mother
asks when I'm getting married.

Okay. Let's try again.

So I'm opposing counsel,
and I'm going to ask...

Is it true that you refused
to allow Dawn Lucas

to attend
her grandmother's funeral?

No. I merely told Dawn
there was work to be done

and if she wasn't at her desk,
somebody else would do it.

So you claim that this book
is a misrepresentation?

Yes.What about this?

"Ellie took one look
at my outfit

"and told me
it needed to be burned

"and that she would
set it on fire

"whether I was
wearing it or not.

"I went home
to change outfits,

and she docked my pay
while I was gone."

Do you recall this incident?

I do. You must understand

that if my employees
dress without taste,

that reflects badly on me.

Why did you dock her pay?

It was only fair to employees
who were at work

and dressed appropriately.

Sounds reasonable.

Not the work of a "tyrant"

or a "rageaholic"
or a "spiteful witch."

Those are my air quotes,
her words.

Ms. Tannen, why would Ms. Lucas
write such misrepresentations?

People can be jealous.

They don't realize
it takes talent,

hard work,
and personal sacrifice

to achieve
what I've achieved.

When they can't cut it,

they have to cut down
those who do.

Don't be nervous.
You won't be on the stand long.

Great. The less I see
of the Walters, the better.

I'll ask questions
about your genetics,

more specifically your DNA.

Since your chromosomes
are still male,

the court should be
forced to--

Absolutely not.

I'm not a man.
I won't say that I am.

Uh-- We don't mean
to be offensive.

But every relevant case

has ruled against
the transgendered person.

The DNA argument gives us
a chance to dodge that.

I don't care
what my DNA says.

It's just a legal strategy.

Look, when I transitioned,

Melanie stood by me
every step of the way.

By saying I'm a man

denies everything
that we went through.

Please, find another way.

I was so excited.
The job was a dream come true.

I've always loved fashion.

For my 8th birthday,
I asked my mom

for a subscription to Vogue.

My first day,
I told Ellie that story.

And what was her response?

She told me to bore
someone else.

Ooh. That must have hurt.

Yes. But I didn't wanna quit.

So to let it all out,
I started a journal.

A friend who works in publishing
read some of it

and suggested
I write a proposal.

So you had no malicious intent?Objection.

Counsel's putting
big legal words

in his little client's mouth.

Why did you write the book?

It was therapeutic.

It's sad when your dream job
doesn't live up to your dreams.

Yes, it is.

My client gave me
a copy of your résumé

that you submitted
to get the job.

I called the Fashion Institute.
They don't have you on record.

Oh, well, I audited.

Who is Mitchell Hastings?DAWN: A friend.

And he's also
your literary agent?

Yes.

Mr. Hastings doesn't usually
take on first-time authors,

but you came to him
with a great idea, didn't you?

I have a lot of ideas.

It's time to come clean, Dawn.

Didn't you pitch that you would
get a job with Ellie Tannen,

work for her,
and then write a tell-all?

No.

Really?

Because your agent
called publishers

before you began
working for Ellie

to see if there was
even interest in a book.

I don't know.

Once the publishers
gave the go-ahead,

isn't that when you set out
to land a job with Ellie?

Objection. Badgering.JANE: Excuse me, Your Honor.

I'll ask it again in a nicer,
non-badgering voice.

Isn't it true that you took
this job under false pretenses,

solely to write a tell-all
and destroy Ellie Tannen?

I, uh...

I--Jane. Jane.

What?I feel sick. I need a break.

Take a Tums.
Dawn's about to crumble.

Please. I feel faint.

Ten-minute recess.

The last few weeks
have been torture.

The trial has been
very draining.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

So it is with a heavy heart
that I decided to drop the case.

Dropping the case?REPORTER 2: Why?

Were you wrong in portraying
this?

Why are you dropping it?

There are no victors
in a long court case.

I just hope
no one reads that trash.

Where are you?

There is my hand.

I'm trying to get to Ellie
so that I can strangle her.

You know, I've left her
phone messages and e-mails,

and she just won't respond.

I don't understand
what happened.

You were dumped.
On television.

It's like The Bachelorwithout
those gratuitous Jacuzzi scenes.

But we know
why Jason dumped Melissa.

I have no idea
why Ellie dumped me.

It's Hank.
Pull yourself together.

You've got a date.

Fred, dinner.

Hank.

I brought wine.And a-- A date.

This is my girlfriend, Jasmine.
Heh.

Hi.Hi. Come in.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Hey, everyone.

Hank brought wine
and his girlfriend, Jasmine.

Hi.

Oh, my God.

I'll get another plate.

Come on.

Oh-- So, Jasmine,
what do you do?

I'm a court reporter.

Hmm.

Oftentimes in your court.

Sorry. Of course.

You are very good at your job.
You type very fast.

Jasmine, I have a question.

Why do we need
court reporters?

Wouldn't it be easier
to record everything?

I mean, the technology
has been with us for ages.

So you don't think
that my job is important?

Um... I didn't say that.

Okay.

You're an assistant,

so I'm guessing
that you spend your days

making coffee, Xeroxing,
taking crap.

Now, that?
That sounds important.

Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho.

Oh.

What was that?It's Pee-wee. Ahem.

I know you are,
but what am I?

I know you are,
but what am I?

I know you are, but what am I?

I know you are, but what am I?Infinity.

Okay, Hank, honey.

All right.

She does Pee-wee.She does.

He does the Pee-wee thing
when he gets nervous,

or overly excited
or turned on.

He is so much fun.
You never told me.

Okay, who'd like more wine?

Ahem.Yeah, a little less for you.

Wine? She said the secret word.

He's with me, honey. Yeah.What?

Oh. You think
I'm flirting with him. No.

Really?

Because from here,
it sure looks like it.

No, no, you don't understand.

Jane is supposed to be
flirting with Hank.

What are...?What? Why? Why?

Um-- Never mind.

No, no one flirts
with Hank, ahem,

except, uh, Hank's beautiful,

fast-typing girlfriend,
Jasmine.

Oh, God.

Was this supposed to be a date
disguised as a dinner party?

Well, see, that's my fault.

Because, see,
Jane had this dream about Hank--

No. Shh.JASMINE: Okay.

Oh, okay.
Hank, we are leaving.

You had a dream about me?

Now, Hank.
Okay.

Honey. Honey.

I'm so sorry.

I know you are,
but what am I?

Good morning.

Who says?

Check out the story
on hotstyles.net.

I hate that fashion blog.

They claimed the gladiator
sandal was dead

one day after
I bought my new pair.

The lead story is about Ellie.

She just announced
a discount line

for the everyday woman.

Ellie doesn't do discount.Read.

Teri, cancel my morning.
I gotta go.

I thought you'd say that.

Did you and Melanie
file your tax returns jointly

as a married couple?Yes.

Did the IRS cash the checks
you wrote?

They most certainly did.

Was Melanie listed as
your spouse on your insurance?

Yes.Were you under a family plan

with your phone company?Yes.

So without question,

the government and
multinational corporations

recognized you and Melanie
as a married couple?

They did.

Thank you.

I'd like you to read
from the California Family Code,

Section 300.

"Marriage is a personal relation
arising out of a civil contract

between one man
and one woman."

Ms. Webb,
what gender was Melanie?

A woman.And what gender are you?

A woman.

Thank you.

We can do better.

What about the Italian silk?

Company.

Jane.

You never wanted
to win this case, did you?

This whole lawsuit
was one giant publicity stunt.

You were fired.
And I am working.

I figured it out.

Your discount clothing line
is available November 8th,

one week after Dawn Lucas' book
is released.

Really? I had no idea.

You didn't wanna stop the book,
you wanted to promote it.

Hugo. Shoo.

Look, moms wanna wear my line,

but their daughters
could care less.

I'm not on the hot list
for the everyday gal.

But then Dawn
wrote the book,

and thanks to the lawsuit,
I'm relevant again.

But then you started
to win in court.

It looked like the book
wasn't gonna be published,

so I had to pull your plug.

Wait a minute.

So when you hired me,
you didn't think I'd win.

You picked me because
you thought I was a loser?

Darling,
I didn't need a good lawyer.

I needed someone
I could push around.

And you walked in,
so desperate to be liked.

Turns out you're
too good of a lawyer.

Guess I misjudged.
Anything else?

No. You've been
perfectly clear.

Walk with me.

But Kim needs her apple peeled,
cored and sliced.

I feel so stupid, Fred.

You have an IQ of 140.
I can assure you, you are not--

Ellie hired me because
she thought I'd lose the case.

Doesn't make sense.

I got the client by being Deb,
a complete pushover.

And I got fired by being Jane,
smart and persistent.

This is good.

So you're giving Jane
some props.

But you're underestimating Deb.How?

We both ended up here

because she hit
the return button

and it sent the entire universe
into disarray.

Deb was not a pushover.

Well, I did have my moments.Mm-hm.

And if I don't get to Kim
with her apple,

she's gonna have one of hers.

Mm.Wha--?

Well, she's not gonna miss
one slice.

Grayson. Hey.

You only do origami
when you are stressed or upset.

Yeah. Wait, how did--?I've noticed.

What's wrong?

We're losing this case.
It's not right.

I've heard.

I didn't realize
you felt so strongly.

Well, it took me a while,

but I realized
it's only about one thing.

Winning the case?

No. It goes way beyond that.

It's about something
everyone searches for

but only some of us find.

Oh, like the perfect
black cocktail dress.

Yes.

No, it's true love.I know.

Yeah.

You're absolutely right.

What these two went through,

and they stayed together,

it makes you believe
that love can conquer all.

And nobody should be able
to take that away from them.

I agree.

Grayson,
in Littleton v. Prange,

wasn't Littleton's marriage
invalidated

because she was male
on her birth certificate

and couldn't marry
another male?

Yeah, it's not helpful.Actually, it might be.

Littleton held that legally,
gender is determined

by which box is marked
on the birth certificate, right?

But Allison won't let us argue
that she's a man.

You don't have to.
Apply the logic of Littleton.

If the birth certificate
is controlling,

your client
was legally married.

Win-win. The state
used the birth certificate

to destroy a marriage.

You can use it
to validate one.

I'll give it a shot.
Thanks, Jane.

Well, anything for true love.Yeah.

♪ And it's one life
And it's this life ♪

♪ And it's beautiful ♪

I'm sorry. Pomtini?

Thanks.

Wow.

You must be really sorry.

Mm-hm.
I have learned my lesson.

Sometimes a dream about
Thunder From Down Under

and Hank the Bailiff
is just a dream

about Thunder From Down Under
and Hank the Bailiff.

You know what?
You were trying to be helpful.

Hope I didn't mess things up
for Hank.

I ran into him at court.

He said it was
the best night of his life.

Go Hank.

You expecting someone?No.

It's Ellie.
No.

Oh, my God,
I'm wearing sweats.

No, don't leave me.

Ms. Tannen.

I need to speak with you
in private.

Pretend I'm not here.

Okay. I just need to
go to my room,

and change out of these sweats
that are so last season.

Yes, please,
make yourself at home.

I've changed my mind.

I wanna go back to court

and stop the publication
of this book.

Really?
Did you have something else

you wanted to promote?

I'm done, Ellie.

You're on retainer.
You still work for me.

Retainer or not...

I have one word for you:

No.

Hugo got a copy of the book.

There are things
I don't want the world to know.

Things they can't know.

Like what?Does it matter?

Yeah, if you want my help.

Jane, I'm going blind.

I have a degenerative
eye disease,

Steingardt's syndrome.

Hugo helps me pick out
the fabrics and the colors.

But the concepts and designs
are all mine.

I have no idea
how Dawn found out.

So your glasses...

Let them think that I wear them
to hide my thoughts.

The truth is, my eyes are
painfully sensitive to light.

Okay.

If you don't help me,
my career will be over.

I need you.

I thought she
dropped this case,

and now she wants
a closed courtroom?

Is this one of your stunts?

If this were a stunt,

I'd be inviting TMZ
into the gallery.

The information
I intend to introduce

is of a sensitive,
personal nature.

Mr. Resnick,

this case was not
officially dismissed,

and I don't have a problem
excusing the jury or the public.

I could use the quiet.

Your Honor, at this point,

we recall Dawn Lucas
to the stand.

Ms. Lucas, in the final chapter
of your unpublished manuscript,

you reveal my client's
health issues, true?

Yes. My publisher
is very excited.

I'm sure.

So how did you learn about
Ms. Tannen's medical problems?

Oh. I was her assistant.

I heard things
around the office.

But Ms. Tannen never spoke
of her condition at the office.

I would like to submit
Exhibit A.

Release forms
signed by Ms. Tannen

to obtain her private
medical records.

Only the signature
is not Ms. Tannen's.

It's a forgery.

Objection.
No foundation.

I have a handwriting expert

ready to verify that Dawn Lucas
forged my client's signature.

Also, I have a receptionist
from the hospital

that will testify that Dawn
picked up those files.

If the DA wants to prosecute
for forgery,

that's his decision.

But as far as this case
is concerned,

she has not shown falsity.

Maybe so.

But public disclosure
of private facts

is actionable,
so I'm amending my complaint.

Public disclosure
doesn't apply here

because Ms. Tannen
is a public figure.

She doesn't enjoy the same right
to privacy as us common folk.

He's right, Your Honor.
Ms. Tannen is a public figure.

And people love juicy gossip
about public figures.

Totally guilty.

However,
with these new chapters,

Dawn Lucas crossed the line.

Just because something is true,

does not give you the right
to publish it.

Famous people, nasty people,
or famously nasty people

still have some rights
to privacy.

Now, you can hate Ms. Tannen,

but that does not give you
the right to destroy her.

There is a genuinely mean woman
in this room,

but it is not my client.

Allison Webb was a devoted
spouse and committed partner.

Yet we're deciding whether
to strip her of her title

to her partner's possessions.

And why?

Because we don't know
what to call her.

You've asked for law.
Well, the majesty of the law

is that we apply its principles
to everyone.

In Littleton v. Prange,

a Texas court denied
Christie Littleton benefits

because her birth certificate
listed her as male,

and she was married to a man.Our point exactly.

The court held
they were a same-sex couple.

Although my client is a woman,

her birth certificate
says male.

By the logic of Littleton,

she qualifies under Section 300
as a spouse.

That's not the ruling.But it is the logic.

Precedent or no,
it's persuasive.

Texas law
has no precedential value here.

That's for me to decide.

I'm finding for Ms. Webb.

What?Should you appeal,

it's my hope
you get another judge

who believes
it's not our job to judge

whether two people
can be in love.

Thank you.

There's little question that
I cannot stop the publication

of Ms. Lucas' book.

I'm so sorry.

While I'm denying
injunctive relief,

I do find the work does
publicly disclose private facts,

and therefore,
I'm awarding damages

for each disclosure,
$28 a book.

But the book sells for $27.

If the publisher
loses a dollar a copy,

why would they sell my book?

My guess, they won't.

Fine. I can write articles.

I've been offered
a speaking tour.

Plenty of people will pay me
for this information.

I'd be careful if I were you.

I assume Ms. Bingum has yet
to inform the DA of the forgery?

Not yet, Your Honor.

But if Ms. Lucas
acts on her threats,

I most certainly will.

Oh, and being the fashion expert
that you are,

I'm sure you know,
orange prison jumpsuits,

not that flattering.

That's all, people.
We're adjourned.

I can't thank you enough.
It's just beyond...

Excuse me.

Oh, Mr. Walters,
can we help you?

I'd like to speak with Allison.

Please.
It'll only take a minute.

Okay.

My wife and I,
we never saw eye to eye on...

I wish Melanie
would have known that.

I can never forgive myself

for turning my back
on my daughter.

Now I'll never see her again.

Thank you
for making her happy.

This was my mother's.

I wanted to give it to Melanie.

But I want you to have it,

if you would.

I'll never take it off.

It goes with everything.

You can't just barge in here.I just did, didn't I?

Jane, Ms. Tannen to see you.

You have another case for me?Please, no. Court is so drab.

All they need to do
is change the lighting.

I mean, is that so hard?

Jane, I never care
what people think about me.

Let them call me mean
or dragon lady or--

Cruellie De Vil?
Ha, ha, ha.

I was just saying.

My point is,
I care what you think.

Oh.

Well, I think that you
don't need to be so mean

to sell clothes
or run a fashion house.

I'm not saying be a pushover,
but there is a way--

Stop talking.

See, that was a little mean.

So I can give you this.

Oh. Well, maybe not so mean.

It's gorgeous.

It's one of a kind,
just like...

me.

Toodles.

Hey. Congrats.
I just heard.

Oh. Kudos to you as well.

Well, I couldn't have done it
without your help.

Here, I brought you this.

Thanks.

You know, I'm happy for Allison.
Love conquered all.

You really believe in that,
don't you?

Allison became a woman,
and Melanie still loved her.

Their connection transcended
their physical bodies.

It's the definition
of soul mates.

Yeah.

Um-- Grayson, there's something
that I've wanted to tell you,

and maybe, finally,
now is the right time.

Okay.

Um...

Oh, it's a little harder
than I thought it was gonna be.

See, I'm not--FRED: Jane.

I need you. Right now.
It's an emergency.

Okay.

It's kind of private.

Okay. Yeah, no problem.
I will talk to you tomorrow.

Sure.

What are you doing?
That was perfect.

I was finally gonna tell him
that I'm Deb and...

Which is why you showed up.It's my job.

You can't tell anybody,
especially Grayson.

Grayson believes
love conquers all,

so that means
there's a chance--

Jane, I'm not saying that you
and Grayson aren't soul mates.

But he has to
fall in love with you.

Not because
you tell him you're Deb,

but because he loves you
as you are now.

But what if--?Hey.

Do you believe
that love conquers all?

I want to.

I really do.

Well then, if he's meant
to be with you,

let him fall in love with you.
