Previously on Boston Legal.

I must admit I am new
to the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.

- Mad cow.
- Silence!

- Step up here, counsel.
- If you think you're...

going to push me around,
I hated bullies on
the playground when I was six.

I tolerate them no better
on the bench in my 40s.

I got it. I got it.
United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary,

a volunteer component
of the Coast Guard--
no age limit.

I love you, Denny.

You are my best friend.

I can't imagine...

going through life
without you.

Clarence.
Alan,

you-you might
want to look at this.

Paternity suit?
No.

Sexual harassment?
No.

Emperors Club?
Just read it.

Oh.

[ Gasps ]
I got in.

I got in
the Auxiliary Coast Guard.

Denny!

Denny.

Denny! Denny, I got in!
I'm in the Coast Guard!

What? Am I in?
I don't know.
Did you get a letter?

I don't know.
I don't know.

I'm in!
[ Screams ]

We're in the Coast Guard!
Whoo-hoo!
We're in the Coast Guard!

Yeah!
We're in the Coast Guard!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Alan! Alan,
we're in the Coast Guard!
We're in the Coast Guard!

** [ Funk ]
** [ Man Vocalizing ]

- We're in the Coast Guard!
We're in the Coast Guard!
- [ Man ] * Uh-huh

[ Both Screaming ]

* All right

* Come on

* Come on
All right *

* Well, yeah

* Well, yeah

* Outlaw *
[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

[ Chattering ]

You mean they
actually got in?

We evidently need the soldiers.

Good morning, Your Honor.
I'm not interested.

I'm here to see Alan Shore.
If he's busy, interrupt him.

- May I tell him what--
- No, you may not.

You may tell him who.
Judge Harvey Cooper.

You mean it's not
a social visit?

I will not suffer
your sarcasm,
Mr. Shore.

I do not like you.

That having been said,
I have enormous respect
for your legal skills.

I'm here to hire you
in that capacity.
Please sit.

Why, thank you.

I'm in the Coast Guard.

Do you know where
I hail from, Mr. Shore?

A dark and scary place
with enchanted creatures?

I'm from Concord,
Massachusetts.

Right.

There's a reason
I chose to reside
in Concord, Massachusetts.

- I'm an American.
- Ah.

Concord, Massachusetts
is where the minutemen
fought off the British,

personifying the heroism
and patriotism...

of what it means
to be an American.

Oh, I'm in
the Coast Guard, so--

I come to you
asking you to represent
our historic town...

in a rather drastic
cause of action.

Which is?

We wish to secede.

- Secede.
- From the Union.
We want independence.

The people of Concord
do not like...

the direction of this country.

In particular,
its oppressive policies...

both abroad and here at home.

It was Thomas Jefferson who
said, "Whenever any form of
government becomes destructive,

"it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it...

and to establish
new government."

That is what we wish to do.
The town council unanimously
voted to approve it last night.

You wish to secede from
the United States of America.

We wish to secede from
the United States of America.

- You're not serious.
- They really want to do it.

And you agreed
to represent them?

Yes. And how's it going with
that bomb for Nantucket?

Alan, come on.
It's been done, Shirley.

In 1820, a rather large chunk
of Massachusetts seceded
from the Commonwealth.

- Today we call it Maine.
- [ Shirley ]
That was 1820.

Yes. And today there are five
different groups trying to
secede from the United States.

In February, the secretary
of state from Montana
said they'd secede...

if the Supreme Court
limited firearm ownership.

Maybe we could have a tea party.

- [ Door Closes ]
- Did they give you
a reason for seceding?

Yes. They want to hold
some neglected truths
to be self-evident.

Isn't it exciting?

You left the room
rather abruptly, Denny.

On the very day
we get in the military.

What's the matter?

I don't want you
to take this case.
Well, I already did.

For years, I've sat back,

listening to you
criticize the U.S. of A.,

accepting your premise
that dissent is patriotic.

But seceding--

I'm a founding father
of this firm.
A senior partner.

I'm asking you,
drop this matter now.

I can't do that.

This will affect
our friendship, Alan.

I have great faith
in our friendship.

I trust it will survive
my taking this case.

Get out, Alan.

Denny, this isn't personal.
You have to know--

Please get out.

- Carl.
- Denny.

What do you think of this
lawsuit Alan is bringing?

Uh, Concord seceding.
I'm against it.

- I have an idea.
- You have an idea.

I get one... every leap year.

Before we get
too far into this,
I trust you've considered...

that you and your entire
township will be deemed
anti-American.

- Yes.
- And that under
the PATRIOT Act,

law enforcement is
practically required to
investigate your motives.

Not just the mayor
and the council,
but the whole town.

They get to dig into
everything in your lives.

Your political affiliations,
your bank accounts,
credit cards, your e-mails,

phone records,
the books you check out
of the library,

the videos--
Mr. Shore,

we understand fully
the provisions
of the PATRIOT Act...

and the litany of
governmental powers it bestows.

That's one of the very reasons
we want to secede.

You won't likely win.
You gotta know that,
judgie boy.

[ Pops ]

He's right.
There is no way any court...

is going to let a town secede
from the United States.

You just bring the motion.
In an election year,

we'll settle for a shot
heard around the world.

[ Judge Cooper ]
All we're looking for
is to survive summary judgment.

If we can just get to
an actual trial--

Right. There's
your political podium.

You just bring the motion.

Of all the ridiculous,

absurd, preposterous,

outlandish, far-fetched,
incredulous--

- Bring it home now.
- outrageous--

- There we go.
- cases you have
ever brought--

Your Honor, I believe
if you just listen to us
with that mind of yours,

which is so notoriously open...

one can hear huge gusts of wind
swirling through on their way--

A town cannot bring
a lawsuit to secede
from the United States.

Of course we can.
There's ample
precedent for it,

starting with
the Declaration of Independence,
you hack.

Mr. Cooper--

I am still Judge Cooper,
especially to you, sir.

[ Judge Brown ]
And if you were a decent judge,
you would understand...

that the jurisdiction
belongs in federal,
not state court.

And if you were
a decent judge, you'd know
that the federal courts,

wanting two bites at the apple
to quash this, would first
kick it right back to state,

hoping you'll do
their work for them.
And I plan to quash it.

Don't you worry.

Oh! Let's not do
any rash quashing.
Judge,

- all I ask is for you
to listen to us before--
- Why?

Why? It's what judges do.

They typically weigh the merits
before ruling on them.

Did they not tell you this
in judging school?

Go ahead and quash it now.

That'll simply allow us
to refile with another judge,

preferably one with an I.Q.
exceeding that of celery.

So go ahead. Dismiss it.
We don't want you anyway.

- [ Laughs ]
- Well, you've got me.

I will hear this case.

- Wait. That's ridiculous.
- Of course you think
it's ridiculous.

You represent the Commonwealth.

By the way, since
the attorney general's office
is the Commonwealth,

our first order of business
would be to disqualify you.

You're the State.
The State is the defendant,
Judge.

That would be a very clever
tactic if we weren't
one step ahead of you.

We've already hired outside,
independent counsel.

In fact, outside counsel
came to us.

Really? Who?
I don't see anybody.

You must be joking.

Commonwealth
has waived conflicts.

Wait a second.
The same firm for both sides?

- Saves on guest cast.
- Mr. Shore--

Concord will waive conflict,
Your Honor.

5:00.

Isn't it exciting?
Could be.

Denny.

Nothing personal, Alan.

This is a very bad idea.

- It was Denny's.
- Oh. Well, then--

Shirley, it is good
that we oppose.

First, it will offset
any fallout this firm
will get for...

representing
perceived traitors.

Second, what they're
doing is wrong.

Whatever one's problems
with America--

- You should be telling Alan to
withdraw, not Denny and me.
- Who's arguing?

[ Together ]
I am.

But, D-Denny,
you specifically
came to me and--

For backup.
I'll first chair.

W-- Denny, I--
I believe the client
thinks they're getting me.

Why would they think that?
I'm Denny Crane.

Um--

The problem is...

Alan knows you so well,
he might be able to exploit
your weaknesses.

You forget I know him.
I can exploit his weaknesses.

Besides, I don't have
any weaknesses.

I'll first chair.

Denny--

What's that?

Rainbow trout.

You'd know if you ever
caught one.

- Can they survive
in a tank like that?
- He won't have to live long.

- As soon as I catch him,
I'm gonna eat him.
- You plan to fish for him.

- Why wouldn't I?
- Is that really sporting?

What do you want, Alan?

Denny, I think you and I
trying a case...

against each other
is a really, really
bad idea.

Fine. Recuse yourself.

I can't do that. I've given
my word to those people
I'll represent them.

And I'm defending my country
against a traitor.

This country was started
by traitors, Denny.

I'm preparing a case.
Please leave.

Denny, I don't want to
see you get hurt.

- Oh. You think you'll win, hmm?
- I'll certainly survive
summary judgment.

$50,000 says you won't.
I'm not going to bet you.

Chicken.
You know you'll lose.

I won't lose.

$50,000.

Denny, I don't have to win
on the merits here.

All I have to show
is that there's a possible
case to be made.

$50,000.

[ Katie ]
How could you wager?
We're certain to lose.

Not at a summary judgment.
All the facts should be
construed in our favor.

We're on the side of
the founding fathers here.

The Constitution stands for
everything that the town
of Concord is advocating.

Let's not overplay
the founding fathers.

Most of them had slaves,
mistresses.
[ Chuckles ]

Maybe that's where Spitzer
found his motivation.

Love the dress, by the way.
You could stop traffic today.
I tell ya.

What was that?

The town of Concord,
Massachusetts has
actually filed a motion...

seeking to secede from
the United States and become
its own sovereign nation.

- There is legal precedent
for the unusual--
- [ Knocks ]

Hey.
Hey.

- Preparing my case.
- I can see that.

Denny.

You were once
a brilliant attorney.

You're-- You're not anymore.

You're forgetful.
You don't stay current
on the law.

The last time I even
saw you open a law book...

was because you had a copy
of Rustle tucked inside.

Which I see you found. Um--

The thing about Alan is...

he's not just a gifted lawyer.

His competitive ego
is extreme.

As much as he loves you,
his first priority will be
winning this case.

And, Denny,
he will tear you up.

You are absolutely
no match for him.

I-I don't want you
to handle this case.

Not your decision.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a case to prepare.

You too, Alan.

This is not about the people
of Concord hating America.

Just the opposite.
We are simply seeking to form
our own government--

one that reflects the values
of an America that used to be.

[ Alan ]
Which values are those, sir?

Freedom of speech,
freedom of religion.

Majority rule, for starters.

You don't think America
currently values those things?

[ Judge Cooper ]
Certainly much less so.
Today,

one does not even have
the right to protest at
a presidential appearance.

We have things called
"free speech zones."

News crews are not allowed
to film the return of military
caskets from Iraq,

lest the public
get the awful idea that
soldiers are being killed.

This is censorship worthy of
the cold war Soviet Union,
not the United States.

Certainly not the America
I love.

Well, since we are in a time
of war, maybe the rules--

Yes. And typically,
in war, we observe
the Geneva convention.

That's no longer the case.
We torture.

We lock people in prison camps
like Guantánamo with no
opportunity for a real hearing.

We are guilty of the very
oppression the colonists reared
up against to begin America.

Thank you, sir.

Denny, this would be the point
where you get up and ask
a challenging question.

Do you have any?

What's going on?
Not to worry.

- Much.
- Your Honor--

Mr. Crane.
Mr. Cr--

- You miss old America.
- That's exactly right.

Oh, yeah. In old America,
we would never censor
free speech.

No, we would not.
Even though Woodrow Wilson...

jailed 5,000 Americans
for speaking out
against World War I.

That's one example.
Would you like a lollipop?

[ Denny ] And locking people up
without giving them a hearing,
like Guantánamo?

- Many of them innocent people.
- F.D.R. jailed a hundred
thousand Japanese Americans,

almost all of them innocent,

many of them children.

The Japanese
internment camps...

were an isolated
incident for which
we remain ashamed.

One would hope
we'd learned from it.
Seems we haven't.

[ Denny ]
Spying on our own citizens.

- That would never happen
in the America you grew up in.
- No.

What about Nixon?
He spied.

Do I get a lollipop
for Watergate?

- Nixon did not represent
the American--
- What about L.B.J.?

He used the F.B.I.
to spy on reporters.
Bill Clinton--

You're gonna equate Bill Clinton
with what goes on today?

According to the A.C.L.U.,

Bill Clinton expanded
stealth surveillance...

far beyond any previous
administration ever.

And that was during
a time of peace.

Bill Clinton certainly
never tortured people.

No. He practiced rendition--

shipping suspects off
to other countries like
Saudi Arabia, Egypt.

And they tortured for us.

During the cold war,
we did human experimentation.

Innocent people.
College students,
mental patients.

Government-run experiments
on unknowing victims.

We tested everything
from L.S.D. to nerve gas.

We exposed unwitting
black men to syphilis,

trying to discover a cure.

We used them as guinea pigs.

No, Judge.
You haven't named...

one thing America's doing today
that we haven't been doing
for a long, long time.

He was good.
He was very good.

Never would know
he's dying from Alzheimer's,

not with that
little performance.
He's not dying.

- I'm sorry.
I just meant--
- Why would you say that?

Well,

people with Alzheimer's--

There's no cure.
I know there's no cure.

But people can
live with it, Jerry.
Sometimes for a very long time.

That was a terrible
thing to say.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I'll tell you what's wrong.
I'm not his whipping boy.

[ Speaking Foreign Language ]

- What language was that?
- Swiss German.

Oh, dear.
It's come to Swiss German.

[ Knocks ]

Would you excuse us
for a minute, Katie?

Jerry, I'm sorry.

I've been...

stressed-out
with this trial.

I guess I've gotten so used to
calling it mad cow, I--

I forget what it really is.

You seem to be
going to the...

wooden cigarette
a lot more lately.

Anything wrong?

No.

I feel as if I haven't...

seen much of you
over the last year.

We haven't really spoken since,
uh, the troubles with Dana.

Well, you've been
really busy, Alan.

So have I. With work.

Work has--

Hey. That's the beauty
of being good friends,
isn't it?

Relationships with
long shelf lives,

you can just stick
'em on the shelf,
I tell ya.

[ Sighs ]
What?

I have never, ever
considered myself...

someone who puts work
before friendships.

Seems I do.

We all do, Alan.

Friendships are a little
like backyard gardens.

We plan to tend to them.

We just always seem to
put it off till next week.

Catch anything?
Not yet, but I will.

- You were quite something
in court yesterday.
- Oh, thank you. Appreciate it.

Denny, could you stop fishing
for a minute?

I'm feeling uncomfortable
about the bet.

We don't need
the kind of competition or...

animosity that a bet
like that can fuel.

- Plus--
- You're losing.

- [ Chuckles ]
I'm not losing.
- Oh, yes. You're losing.

Do you understand
how summary judgment goes?

The burden is totally
on the defense.

You must prove there are
no credible facts whatsoever...

upon which relief
can be granted.

It's all but impossible
for defendants to win
summary judgments.

Double it?

- Fine.
- Fine.

Just no doing your closing
in that minuteman outfit
with the musket.

Remember how the jury
just loved that.

Especially with money
riding on this thing,

it would be unfair for you
to take advantage like that.

Promise me you won't wear
the minuteman outfit.

Nice try.

He's doing well?
Extremely.

Uh, Denny may have mad cow,

Shirley, but I don't think
the cow is winning.

Where are you now?

We've got a retired
general testifying.
Then we close.

Denny's closing?

He must be on
some kind of medication.

I don't know, but--
All I can say is
he's actually good.

[ Man Chuckles ]
Old America?
Are you kidding me?

We don't live
in old America.
This is a new world.

The enemy isn't countries
or states or governments.

It's terrorists capable
of attacking us here.

Hell, they have
attacked us here.

- This is new warfare
requiring new tactics.
- Including torture?

Absolutely. Look.

If we have a suspect
who has information that
a bomb is about to go off,

possibly killing
thousands of Americans,

are you really suggesting
we-- we treat him gently,

that we don't do everything
we can to save American lives?

I-I'm not saying it.
He is.

Look. I long for
yesterday myself.

We used to know
how to fight a war
and not trip over ourselves.

But we still stand
for the same principles.
That hasn't changed.

I'm confused.
Those principles you say
we still stand for,

do they include
human rights,

fair and humane
treatment of prisoners?

I'm saying, while those
values remain important,

we have to put them
in perspective, given
the world we now live in.

- And what world is that?
- One of terrorism.

- Right.
- One where the Muslim world--
much of it hates us...

and would love to see
the destruction
of the United States.

Tell me. Do you make any room
for the possibility,

any room whatsoever,
that the conduct of our country,

be it starting a war
under false pretenses--

- Democrat.
- Move to strike.

- This isn't Republicans
versus Democrats.
- Right.

The Democrats, virtually
all of them, have supported
the worst of Bush's policies.

Only one Democrat in the Senate
opposed the PATRIOT Act
when it was first proposed.

They stumbled over each other
rushing to sign a blank check.

I hardly stand here
as a proud Democrat.

Where do you stand
as a loyal American?

Come on.
We don't question your country
in a time of war.

Why the hell not?
That, to me,

seems like an especially
apt time to ask questions.
Mr. Shore.

I don't know who
the hell came up
with the notion...

one can't criticize this country
and still be patriotic.
I bet it was Cheney.

Well, he was wrong.
Some of our most noble
patriots were dissenters.

Henry David Thoreau,
Susan B. Anthony--

Are we doing closings?
Would you like to?
I'm ready.

Would've worn the outfit.
Why don't you just
shut up instead?

That's enough.
Both of you.

Mr. Shore.

Do you have anything else?

No.

** [ Acoustic Guitar: Blues ]

* O beautiful

* For spacious skies

* For amber waves of grain

* For purple mountain
majesties *

* Above the fruited plain *

Denny.

Working on my closing. Later.

I'm sorry about
telling you to shut up.

Can we agree just
to try this case
and not let it get personal?

Come in, Alan. Sit down.

Something I thought
you understood, but you
clearly don't understand.

For people of my generation,
being an American is personal.

- I realize--
- No.

You don't.
You don't.

In your life,
growing up,

you just took for granted
that America would always be.

Why not?
It's a superpower.
Strongest country in the world.

In my lifetime, with Hitler
trying to take over the world
and having the means to do so,

we went to bed scared at night
that America would end.

Imagine that feeling, Alan.

The tragedy for me here is...

you have no idea
how deeply offended I am...

by the idea that a town
wanting to secede.

You have no--

Which means...

you don't know me, Alan.

Not really.

Our friendship has all the depth
of a jigger of scotch.

I really need to
work on my closing right now.

Why are you wearing
that ridiculous costume?

It's not a costume,
Your Honor.

I'm a member of the United
States Auxiliary Coast Guard.
[ Chuckles ]

I stand ready to defend
my country against enemies,
high crime and treason.

Objection.
I object to the implication.

- Oh, Mr. Shore, sit down.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

I'll make this short.
It's my belief that the best
closing arguments are short.

There's a lot to criticize
about America today.

I realize that.
Truth be told, I'm embarrassed
by the current administration.

Who isn't?
But whatever one wants to say
about George Bush,

there can be no question
that he loves his country.

He once made a simple
statement that, simply put,
reflects who and what he is.

- Simple?
- Mr. Shore.

He said,
"You're either with us
or against us."

The town of Concord
comes into court, says...

they no longer choose
to be with us.

They want to abandon America.

It is the most unpatriotic act
of heresy imaginable.

It's treason.

Your Honor, if you allow
this case to continue...

a week, a day, an hour,

you're saying that abandoning
America in a time of war...

is conceivably acceptable.

If you love this nation
just one fraction
of what George Bush does...

or I do
or most Americans do,

you cannot possibly
find that acceptable.

Not too long ago,

we set the example
for the world on civil
liberties and human rights.

Today--
[ Exhales Sharply ]

Today we have this bipartisan
piece of legislation,
the PATRIOT Act,

that criminalizes
free speech, authorizes
warrantless searches,

allows for wiretaps
without probable cause.

People can now be locked up
on suspicion alone,

denied due process
or even a hearing.

As for foreign nationals,
forget it. They can be deported
for what they say or think,

even if they're
completely law-abiding.

They can be kept from
ever entering this country...

under the ideological
exclusion rule, again based on
what they say or think.

All this accomplished
by a bill that our leaders
rushed to pass...

just six weeks after
those towers came down.

Did you read
the PATRIOT Act, Judge?

Members of Congress
certainly didn't.

It was pushed through
with so much haste, there
was almost no deliberation...

because few, if any,
members of the House or Senate
had bothered to read it.

Most still haven't.
A bill that mocks
our Constitution...

and moves us ever closer
to tyranny.

We now round up suspects...

and throw them
in detention camps,

claiming they're not
prisoners of war so that
we may torture them,

in violation of
the Geneva convention.

We set up these camps in Cuba
and other foreign locations.

This is not something
done by a government
with moral integrity.

It does not reflect
a nation with a conscience.

And let's talk
about the torture.

This isn't slapping around
some suspect who knows
of a ticking bomb.

We now use torture
as a matter of course.

We use it against people just
to see if they have information.
Any information.

Torture is no longer
the exception, but the rule.
It's systemic.

Waterboarding,
sexual humiliation,

extreme psychological
and physical abuse.

We all know the horrors
of Abu Ghraib.

And those orders
came from the very top.

George Bush knew
and approved of these tactics,

as did Rummy, Condi,

Dick, Ashcroft, Tenet,
even Colin Powell.

They all knew and participated
in creating the policy,
as did many others.

And yet not one high-ranking
officer or member...

of this administration
has been held accountable.

Not one.

We set up these secret prisons
using techniques modeled
on the dungeons of Egypt.

We chain prisoners to ceilings.
We subject them to simulated
drownings or sexual abuse.

This is not moral leadership.

This is not the conduct of
a country that regards the law
or respects human rights.

And the country I speak of
is not Egypt or Saudi Arabia
or even North Korea.

It's the United States
of America. My country.

Your country.

Denny Crane said to me
that I cannot know
the experience...

of lying down at night...

and facing the idea
of losing America.

Since September 11, 2001,
I think most of us...

have laid down on many a night
and imagined exactly that.

But I wonder,
what is it about America
that we most fear losing?

And I wonder,
how much of that
have we lost already?

The town of Concord--
what can it really do?

Stage a protest?
Have a rally, a parade?
Call a press conference?

Would that even make the news?

But threaten to secede--
that would get some attention.

And if you look at
all the facts here,

you'll see Concord isn't really
seeking to leave America at all.

It's America that has left them.

And, of course,
ultimately, Concord will not
be allowed to secede.

We all know that.
But if you quash this at
the summary judgment stage,

you will in effect
be ruling that their concerns
are not even legitimate.

And how can any true
American conclude that?

We stand here today asking
you to defend a democracy...

that our Congress
and our president
refuse to defend.

We're asking you to
stand up for the Constitution,

which every judge
is duty-bound to protect.

We ask you to stand up
for an America
that 60 years ago...

our soldiers stormed a beach
in Normandy to defend.

This case is personal to you.

And it's personal to me.

It's personal to everyone
in this courtroom.

I love this country, Denny.

I just--

Sometimes I just don't
recognize it anymore.

[ Woman ]
All rise.

Be seated.

I, like many Americans,

am horrified
that our government
tortures prisoners of war,

that we've turned our police
powers-- many of them illegal--
against our own citizens.

If the goal of the terrorists
on 9/11 was to
knock down democracy,

then they surely
have succeeded.

But I, like many Americans,

care more about the protection
of our children,

grandchildren...

than I do
our nation's ideals.

I do not doubt for a moment
that the government is acting
in good faith to make us safe.

Nor do I doubt that
if there's any time
in our nation's history...

when we must simply
stick together, it is now.

The concerns and questions
you have raised, Mr. Shore,
are indeed legitimate.

But I cannot,
and I will not,

allow to stand...

Concord's motion
to secede...

from this country.

[ Gavel Raps ]
We're adjourned.

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

Still undefeated.
Never in doubt.

How about our friendship?

Alan, a man is never so rich
as he is with friendship.

Except when he's got
$50,000.
I thought we doubled it.

I gave you half off
'cause I like you.
[ Mouths Word ]

Walk out with me?
Please.

Men's room.
I got it wrong.

Oh, no biggie.
The stalls are empty.

I got it wrong about
your no longer being
a brilliant attorney.

Seems you still are.

Sex?

[ Chuckles ]
Not tonight.

Oh. I had a dream.

You and I were swimming
in my pool buck naked.

We began to make
ferocious love.

You screamed so loudly
the police came and looked
over the fence and said,

"Oh, that's just
Crane, pool and Schmidt."

And on that lovely note,
good night, Denny.

And way to go.

[ Door Closes ]

She's still
in love with me.
[ Chuckles ]

Everybody loves a winner.
Mmm.

You were pathetic.

- Trying to get me to wear
that minuteman outfit.
- [ Chuckles ]

- You wore it before.
- Mmm.

I actually did listen
to your closing.

Almost made me cry.

- Really?
- Yeah. 'Cause for a second
there, I thought you'd win.

Let me ask you a question.
Don't you get tired...

of going on and on
and on like that?

Yes.
[ Chuckles ]

When you think of the hours
and hours I've spent
standing in front of a jury.

Let's not.

Jerry said something
about how we don't tend to
the friendships in our lives.

We do.
Every night right here.

Yes, but...

when I consider my job,
with all those closings--

- Endless closings.
- Many of them quite personal.

Long-winded closings.
All right.

What's your point?
My point is
I've spent perhaps...

most of my adult life...

talking and talking
and talking to strangers.

Why don't people
take more time to be
with the ones they love?

Why don't we take more
vacations? We keep talking
about going fishing again.

My God, you bought
a trout from a pet store.
Alan.

Let's go.

Now.

I'm being serious, Denny.
So am I.

Let's hang
the "gone fishing" sign
on the door and go.

Where?

We'll start with
the Charles River.
Go from there.

- Road trip, you and me.
- Don't tease me.
I'll do it.

I'm not teasing.
Let's go.
We'll camp. We'll fish.

- We'll toast marshmallows.
- Same tent.

Separate sleeping bags.

- Come on. Nature awaits.
- Oh, God.

Why do you have to bring up
nature? You know I hate nature.
I'll hold your hand.

What was that quote
you said from
Ralph Waldo Emerson?

He said quite a few things.

"A friend...

"may well be reckoned...

the masterpiece of nature."

Can't remember
what I had for breakfast,
but that I remember.

You constantly surprise me.

It keeps the love fresh.
[ Chuckles ]

Alan,

let's go fishing.

Let's go fishing.
