Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,826 --> 00:00:12,521
My friend, I can't tell you
how good to see you.
2
00:00:12,521 --> 00:00:14,689
I got to be honest with you,
I thought you were dead.
3
00:00:14,689 --> 00:00:16,961
- Never felt better in my life.
- Oh, come on. That's a lie.
4
00:00:16,961 --> 00:00:18,065
Look at you.
5
00:00:18,065 --> 00:00:20,200
- How's Sylvie?
- Sylvie is dead.
6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,588
Fantastic. And the kids?
7
00:00:22,588 --> 00:00:27,634
Denny, the last time we spoke, you
mentioned that despite astronomical odds,
8
00:00:27,634 --> 00:00:31,097
you managed to become
yet an even better lawyer.
9
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:32,459
Hard to believe, isn't it?
10
00:00:32,459 --> 00:00:36,900
I have a motion which, obviously,
I'm quite capable of arguing myself,
11
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,524
- being more talented than you.
- No, you're not.
12
00:00:39,524 --> 00:00:42,046
I also happen to be the client.
13
00:00:42,046 --> 00:00:46,237
The case is also
extremely unconventional.
14
00:00:49,293 --> 00:00:52,214
I want to be frozen.
15
00:00:52,287 --> 00:00:58,558
What do you mean? / I meanI want to be
frozen and stored in a cryonic institute.
16
00:00:59,216 --> 00:01:01,847
- What do you mean?
- I'm 78 years old.
17
00:01:01,847 --> 00:01:05,704
It won't be long before
my body starts to wither.
18
00:01:05,704 --> 00:01:07,093
I've lived a full life.
19
00:01:07,093 --> 00:01:12,154
The technology will soon exist
that I will be able to double that life.
20
00:01:12,154 --> 00:01:19,834
I want to be frozen and stored until such
time that technology becomes a reality.
21
00:01:20,598 --> 00:01:21,741
What do you mean?
22
00:01:21,741 --> 00:01:26,725
I mean when I leave this world,
I don't want it to be forever.
23
00:01:26,725 --> 00:01:29,693
Which mean for now...
24
00:01:29,803 --> 00:01:33,107
I want to be frozen.
25
00:01:33,821 --> 00:01:35,792
What do you mean?
26
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:40,720
Boston Legal
1x16 Let Sales Ring
27
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:07,820
ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON ABC: 2005/03/13
28
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:10,473
So basically,
he wants to be euthanized.
29
00:02:10,473 --> 00:02:13,299
And preserved on ice.
30
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:17,059
Evidently, there's some right
to privacy law I've never heard of.
31
00:02:17,059 --> 00:02:18,754
Why should you?
32
00:02:18,754 --> 00:02:21,285
It's in the constitution.
33
00:02:21,285 --> 00:02:23,432
What's Milton Bombay doing here?
34
00:02:23,432 --> 00:02:27,837
He wants to be frozen and stored
in a cryonics facility.
35
00:02:27,837 --> 00:02:31,817
- All in favor...
- And he wants Denny to argue it.
36
00:02:32,345 --> 00:02:35,208
And what could possibly
occasion him to want that?
37
00:02:35,208 --> 00:02:40,540
The problem is, the basis of the case,
if there is one, would lie in the bill of rights,
38
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:44,037
which Denny, of course, feels
never should have been passed.
39
00:02:44,037 --> 00:02:47,976
We're one supreme court
appointment away from overturning it.
40
00:02:47,976 --> 00:02:49,818
- The bill of rights.
- Damn right.
41
00:02:49,818 --> 00:02:52,295
Red states rule.
42
00:02:52,295 --> 00:02:55,371
Paul, there seems to be some
psychological deficit in play here.
43
00:02:55,371 --> 00:02:57,464
I refer to Milton's, not yours.
44
00:02:57,464 --> 00:02:59,876
Any personho wants to
be frozen should perhaps
45
00:02:59,876 --> 00:03:02,875
be referred to a therapist,
not a lawyer.
46
00:03:10,952 --> 00:03:12,987
Hey, pretty boy.
47
00:03:12,987 --> 00:03:16,093
I hear you're looking
for some interesting cases.
48
00:03:16,093 --> 00:03:19,175
Chelina Hall.
We haven't officially met.
49
00:03:19,175 --> 00:03:22,896
Yes, I've peeked at you
in the girls' room unofficially.
50
00:03:22,896 --> 00:03:24,693
Cute.
51
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:26,691
Come with me?
52
00:03:28,161 --> 00:03:31,196
Stuart Milch, Alan Shore.
53
00:03:31,737 --> 00:03:34,063
A pleasure, sir.
Thanks again for agreeing to see me.
54
00:03:34,063 --> 00:03:37,775
Not at all, especially since
I've made no such agreement.
55
00:03:37,775 --> 00:03:40,515
Show him the gizmo, Stuart.
56
00:03:43,576 --> 00:03:46,086
Tell him what it is, Stuart.
57
00:03:46,086 --> 00:03:47,604
It's called a news blocker.
58
00:03:47,604 --> 00:03:51,144
Sold off the internet. You attach it
to the coaxial input on your television,
59
00:03:51,144 --> 00:03:53,812
and it basically blocks
news transmissions.
60
00:03:55,195 --> 00:03:56,964
It's true.
61
00:03:56,964 --> 00:03:59,639
My high school principal
attached these devices
62
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,202
to all the televisions in the building.
63
00:04:01,202 --> 00:04:03,049
The problem is,
64
00:04:03,049 --> 00:04:06,516
it turns out it only blocks one network,
the most fair and balanced one.
65
00:04:06,516 --> 00:04:10,726
- All the others, kids can watch.
- It singles out one network only.
66
00:04:10,726 --> 00:04:14,352
Yes, because this network supposedly
pushes a conservative agenda,
67
00:04:14,352 --> 00:04:15,970
which is a lot of hooey.
68
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:17,723
This is blatant censorship.
69
00:04:17,723 --> 00:04:22,121
It furthers evidence of a liberal media,
and I, for one, am sick of it.
70
00:04:24,355 --> 00:04:26,917
In all my years...
71
00:04:27,037 --> 00:04:29,343
In all his years.
72
00:04:29,744 --> 00:04:33,292
Milton, I consider you a friend.
73
00:04:33,292 --> 00:04:35,416
Actually, I don't.
I find you a bit boorish.
74
00:04:35,416 --> 00:04:38,497
But I have always enjoyed
your unfettered candor,
75
00:04:38,497 --> 00:04:44,457
and, in the spirit of that candor,
the case cannot be won.
76
00:04:44,647 --> 00:04:47,976
Given that this is the only lifetime
you'll ever get to have,
77
00:04:47,976 --> 00:04:50,420
please don't waste
what's left of it in the vast,
78
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:53,518
cavernous sinkhole known as
our system of juris prudence.
79
00:04:53,518 --> 00:04:55,920
I made my life in that system.
80
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,487
I rose to the very top of this system.
81
00:04:58,487 --> 00:05:00,129
No, you didn't.
82
00:05:00,129 --> 00:05:05,770
Milton, no judge igoing to let you
be euthanized and stashed in a sub-zero.
83
00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:09,875
We cannot know that
unless we try, Shirley.
84
00:05:09,875 --> 00:05:11,924
I know you recently retired.
Is this...
85
00:05:11,924 --> 00:05:15,371
and, please, do not proffer
psychological counsel.
86
00:05:15,371 --> 00:05:19,544
I came in here in search of legal
and intellectual acuity.
87
00:05:19,544 --> 00:05:21,139
And you sought out Denny?
88
00:05:21,139 --> 00:05:25,919
I assure you, this is something
I considered with all due gravity.
89
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:27,592
I came to a decision,
90
00:05:27,592 --> 00:05:34,504
and now I appeal to you as my attorney
to help me execute that decision.
91
00:05:34,984 --> 00:05:37,822
Do I make myself clear?
92
00:05:37,822 --> 00:05:39,762
Perfectly.
93
00:05:39,762 --> 00:05:43,136
We're talking
about your execution.
94
00:05:55,496 --> 00:05:57,406
- Frozen.
- That's why he's here?
95
00:05:57,406 --> 00:06:01,593
If there's any legal research on point,
which I doubt there is, the sooner, the better.
96
00:06:01,593 --> 00:06:05,785
By way of analogy, you might want to look
at assisted suicide or right to die.
97
00:06:05,785 --> 00:06:08,611
Brad, you take the math and science
because you're male,
98
00:06:08,611 --> 00:06:10,564
and therefore more innately qualified.
99
00:06:10,564 --> 00:06:14,051
Anything and everything you can
find on cryonics technology.
100
00:06:14,051 --> 00:06:17,988
Wait, this firm is actually going
to help Milton Bombay be put on ice?
101
00:06:17,988 --> 00:06:20,256
Oh, come now, Lori,
you of all people should know
102
00:06:20,256 --> 00:06:23,944
it's not so bad to go
through life as a popsicle.
103
00:06:24,167 --> 00:06:25,956
What is that supposed to mean?
104
00:06:25,956 --> 00:06:27,610
Nothing.
105
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:29,901
My, everybody's so sensitive.
106
00:06:29,901 --> 00:06:32,413
Can't we all just get along?
107
00:06:38,084 --> 00:06:41,856
We go to court this morning,
so as fast as you can.
108
00:06:46,513 --> 00:06:51,121
First of all, students have no vested rights
whatsoever to watch any news during school.
109
00:06:51,121 --> 00:06:53,069
But they are allowed
to do so at winslow high,
110
00:06:53,069 --> 00:06:54,549
except for one network.
111
00:06:54,549 --> 00:06:58,544
Ms. Tyler, is this particular broadcast
being singled out on content?
112
00:06:58,544 --> 00:06:59,921
Even if it is, your honor,
113
00:06:59,921 --> 00:07:02,521
schools have the right
to legislate content,
114
00:07:02,521 --> 00:07:04,228
just as we can search students' lockers.
115
00:07:04,228 --> 00:07:06,285
Objection to the spin, judge.
This is a no-spin zone.
116
00:07:06,285 --> 00:07:10,276
A school principal is not subject to grounds
of reasonableness when it comes to policy.
117
00:07:10,276 --> 00:07:13,477
This is the first amendment in play here.
What's next, burning a few books?
118
00:07:13,477 --> 00:07:17,191
Ms. Tyler, I must say,
this has a bad stink to it.
119
00:07:17,191 --> 00:07:20,291
How do you ban one network
news program and not the others?
120
00:07:20,291 --> 00:07:23,158
The principal felt this particular
network was detrimental.
121
00:07:23,158 --> 00:07:26,430
Well, I want to hear from the principal
in this witness chair,
122
00:07:26,430 --> 00:07:29,137
or I'm going to grant
the petitioner's motion right now.
123
00:07:29,137 --> 00:07:31,266
Fine. I can get him here this afternoon.
124
00:07:31,266 --> 00:07:35,020
We'll adjourn for lunch.
Be back at 4:00.
125
00:07:36,553 --> 00:07:38,081
There they are!
126
00:07:38,081 --> 00:07:40,184
Mr. Bombay, why are you doing this?
127
00:07:40,184 --> 00:07:44,855
It's simply about wanting to continue
my legacy for centuries to come.
128
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:47,252
I'm perhaps the greatest
lawyer of all time,
129
00:07:47,252 --> 00:07:49,004
No, he's not.
I'm better. Denny Crane.
130
00:07:49,004 --> 00:07:51,165
and I want that time to continue
into the future.
131
00:07:51,165 --> 00:07:53,112
How are you, sweetie?
Still the king.
132
00:07:53,112 --> 00:07:55,057
Denny Crane.
133
00:07:56,998 --> 00:08:01,663
Mr. Bombay, you are asking for
a court order to end your life.
134
00:08:01,663 --> 00:08:03,798
Under today's science.
135
00:08:03,798 --> 00:08:07,588
- Tomorrow might be quite different.
- But, sir, let's be realistic.
136
00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:10,833
Why the helldo I have to be realistic?
It's my body.
137
00:08:10,833 --> 00:08:13,438
What do I have to do, get pregnant?
138
00:08:13,438 --> 00:08:16,285
Well, you may be couching
this in pro-life terms,
139
00:08:16,285 --> 00:08:22,098
but in today's scientific world,
being frozen makes you dead.
140
00:08:22,098 --> 00:08:26,825
I am asking for the chance
to be alive in tomorrow's world.
141
00:08:26,825 --> 00:08:31,857
To play with my great-great-great
-great-grandchildren.
142
00:08:31,857 --> 00:08:34,286
Do you have grandchildren today?
143
00:08:34,286 --> 00:08:36,164
I've got six, all grown.
144
00:08:36,164 --> 00:08:38,159
Three of them love me.
145
00:08:38,290 --> 00:08:42,382
Suppose one of them came into
the court at, say, the age of 30
146
00:08:42,382 --> 00:08:43,747
asking to be frozen.
147
00:08:43,747 --> 00:08:46,164
I'd say wait.
You've got a lot of years.
148
00:08:46,164 --> 00:08:50,349
Well, but maybe they, too, would like
it done before their body starts to go south,
149
00:08:50,349 --> 00:08:52,220
which, at 30, it can.
150
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:56,160
Look, I don't advocate this
for young, healthy people.
151
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,426
But certainly, if you can decide
for yourself, so should others, right?
152
00:09:00,426 --> 00:09:02,279
I'm close to 80.
153
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,312
My life is almost over.
154
00:09:04,312 --> 00:09:07,464
Does one have to be
old to get this autonomy?
155
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:09,776
How about somebody
35 with cancer?
156
00:09:09,776 --> 00:09:12,158
If it was incurable, yes.
157
00:09:12,158 --> 00:09:15,384
Parkinson's disease. M.S.
158
00:09:15,384 --> 00:09:18,650
What if somebody wanted to get
frozen to avoid the draft?
159
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:22,190
Let him move to Canada.
Freeze his balls off.
160
00:09:24,218 --> 00:09:26,334
Denny Crane.
161
00:09:31,587 --> 00:09:33,696
- Why did you do that?
- You were getting picked apart in there.
162
00:09:33,696 --> 00:09:36,407
- I was not. I was doing just fine.
- I had to stop the other side's momentum.
163
00:09:36,407 --> 00:09:37,675
He was shooting spitballs
at a battleship. / Boys.
164
00:09:37,675 --> 00:09:40,165
I was having a real momentin there,
and you stepped on it.
165
00:09:40,165 --> 00:09:44,190
Boys, we need to get back to the office
and prepare our expert.
166
00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:46,483
- He stepped on my moment.
- Did not. / - Boys.
167
00:09:57,438 --> 00:10:00,756
Cryonics proponents don't
refer to the patient as "dead,"
168
00:10:00,756 --> 00:10:02,446
simply "preserved."
169
00:10:02,446 --> 00:10:04,224
- Frozen.
- Yes.
170
00:10:04,224 --> 00:10:09,063
But, doctor, if a person's heart isn't
beating, if there's no brain activity,
171
00:10:09,063 --> 00:10:11,039
we tend to call them dead.
172
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:14,470
Under today's medical definition, yes.
But the definition of cryonics
173
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:18,634
is basically a process using a very cold
temperature to prevent people from dying.
174
00:10:18,634 --> 00:10:21,337
Where'd we get this quack?
175
00:10:22,015 --> 00:10:24,864
Uh, doctor, let's be fair.
176
00:10:24,864 --> 00:10:28,644
Has anyone ever been brought
back to life after being frozen?
177
00:10:28,644 --> 00:10:32,870
No, and it's not likely to happen soon,
but the technology is changing.
178
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:36,077
We're discovering more and more
about molecular nanotechnology every day,
179
00:10:36,077 --> 00:10:38,443
and one day, it will be a reality.
180
00:10:38,443 --> 00:10:40,406
Molecular what?
181
00:10:40,872 --> 00:10:42,724
One second, doctor.
182
00:10:44,412 --> 00:10:47,498
Denny, I'm gonna try something here
I don't have time to explain.
183
00:10:47,498 --> 00:10:49,846
I just need you to go with it, okay?
184
00:10:49,846 --> 00:10:53,574
I want you to count backwards
from 100 silently.
185
00:10:53,574 --> 00:10:54,903
Why?
186
00:10:54,903 --> 00:10:57,823
I'll explain later. It's important.
187
00:10:58,152 --> 00:11:00,913
Uh, 99, 98...
188
00:11:03,672 --> 00:11:05,319
Okay, doctor,
189
00:11:05,319 --> 00:11:11,567
we've heard that cryonics is in our future,
but, please, give me one example,
190
00:11:11,567 --> 00:11:15,956
one piece of evidence that indicates
that this could possibly work.
191
00:11:15,956 --> 00:11:17,459
The wood frog.
192
00:11:17,459 --> 00:11:19,482
I'm sorry.
Did you say wood frog?
193
00:11:19,482 --> 00:11:20,568
Uh, yes.
194
00:11:20,568 --> 00:11:24,584
A frogin the Canadian arctic that hibernates
and completely freezes in the winter.
195
00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:28,201
No heartbeat, no brain activity.
It goes completely dead
196
00:11:28,201 --> 00:11:30,264
by today's definition of death.
197
00:11:30,264 --> 00:11:32,145
Then in the spring, it wakens.
198
00:11:32,145 --> 00:11:34,716
Brain activity resumes,
heart starts beating.
199
00:11:34,716 --> 00:11:36,124
It's alive again.
200
00:11:36,124 --> 00:11:39,185
And you think if it's
possible for a frog...
201
00:11:39,185 --> 00:11:40,772
Why not for a human?
202
00:11:40,772 --> 00:11:44,416
If we can accomplish total
metabolic arrest with no tissue damage,
203
00:11:44,416 --> 00:11:46,781
we will be able to freeze
people for thousands of years
204
00:11:46,781 --> 00:11:48,885
and bring them back to life.
205
00:11:50,437 --> 00:11:52,293
Thank you, doctor.
206
00:11:52,293 --> 00:11:56,070
Humans are warm-blooded animals
designed to stay at 98 degrees.
207
00:11:56,070 --> 00:11:59,842
Those frogs are cold-blooded with
a completely different molecular structure.
208
00:11:59,842 --> 00:12:02,021
Well, admittedly,
the future of cryonics
209
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:03,612
involves the development
of molecular technology.
210
00:12:03,612 --> 00:12:06,000
For which there is no evidence
it can work with warm-blooded...
211
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,506
Yes, there is.
212
00:12:07,506 --> 00:12:11,121
We have frozen rat livers, thawed them,
and transplanted them into living rats.
213
00:12:11,121 --> 00:12:13,434
In Israel, they did it
with frozen hearts.
214
00:12:13,434 --> 00:12:16,127
In both cases, the rats lived.
Not for long,
215
00:12:16,127 --> 00:12:18,164
but the hearts
and livers did come back to life.
216
00:12:18,164 --> 00:12:19,711
With humans,
we've frozen heart valves...
217
00:12:19,711 --> 00:12:23,032
And you think the idea of
freezing people is ethical?
218
00:12:23,032 --> 00:12:26,678
- Is that consistent with...
- It's evidently ethical to freeze embryos,
219
00:12:26,678 --> 00:12:28,835
but again, I'm up here
to give you the science,
220
00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:31,061
not engage in a moral debate.
221
00:12:45,527 --> 00:12:47,513
He kicked their ass.
222
00:12:47,513 --> 00:12:50,898
And the best part of it was
he had integrity,
223
00:12:50,898 --> 00:12:52,853
which is what you
need in your expert.
224
00:12:52,853 --> 00:12:55,124
- What did he cost us?
- $2,500.
225
00:12:55,124 --> 00:12:56,471
The whore.
226
00:12:56,471 --> 00:12:58,276
- Schmidt.
- How are we doing?
227
00:12:58,276 --> 00:13:00,182
The leading federal
case would be Schiavo.
228
00:13:00,182 --> 00:13:02,043
It's not first circuit,
but since the supreme court
229
00:13:02,043 --> 00:13:05,255
just refused to hear the appeal,
we could argue it's controlling.
230
00:13:05,255 --> 00:13:06,678
I want to read it.
Can you make me a copy?
231
00:13:06,678 --> 00:13:09,101
- You want to read it, Denny?
- Hell no.
232
00:13:09,212 --> 00:13:13,161
Uh, can I talk to you
in private for a second, please?
233
00:13:18,409 --> 00:13:19,663
I, uh...
234
00:13:19,663 --> 00:13:23,340
I didn't want to embarrass you
in front of your superiors,
235
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:27,901
but it seems to me the controlling
case on this would be Cruzan.
236
00:13:27,901 --> 00:13:32,163
The whole thrust of
Rehnquist's opinion was autonomy,
237
00:13:32,163 --> 00:13:34,858
the patient's right to decide.
238
00:13:34,858 --> 00:13:37,637
The opinion was muddled.
It was essentially 3-pronged.
239
00:13:37,637 --> 00:13:41,551
Autonomy, the patient's best interests,
and the state's interest to preserve life.
240
00:13:41,551 --> 00:13:43,054
You'd win on prong one,
241
00:13:43,054 --> 00:13:45,817
but you'd likely lose
on prongs two and three.
242
00:13:45,817 --> 00:13:48,314
You're much better off arguing Schiavo.
243
00:13:49,875 --> 00:13:52,850
- Mr. Bombay.
- Yes?
244
00:13:53,114 --> 00:13:55,585
- Are you all right?
- Oh, yes.
245
00:13:55,585 --> 00:14:00,292
Uh, it's just that you brought
me back to a memory of...
246
00:14:01,141 --> 00:14:05,281
I think I was happiest as a lawyer
when I was a young associate.
247
00:14:07,284 --> 00:14:10,145
I hated doing all the grunt work,
248
00:14:10,145 --> 00:14:14,078
but there was all
the promise of tomorrow.
249
00:14:18,893 --> 00:14:22,426
Would you have dinner
with me tonight, Tara?
250
00:14:22,426 --> 00:14:24,810
Milton...
251
00:14:26,049 --> 00:14:29,691
Why don't you have it with me?
252
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:35,339
Why this one particular network?
253
00:14:35,339 --> 00:14:37,374
Look, I know that all
the networks pander,
254
00:14:37,374 --> 00:14:39,534
some to the liberal,
some to the conservative,
255
00:14:39,534 --> 00:14:43,252
but when a news organization goes as far
as to actually promote a political agenda...
256
00:14:43,252 --> 00:14:45,664
Can I dial you back a second?
How do they do that?
257
00:14:45,664 --> 00:14:47,734
Well, first, the broadcasts
speak for themselves.
258
00:14:47,734 --> 00:14:51,392
Their CEO used to be the chief media
operative for former republican presidents.
259
00:14:51,392 --> 00:14:54,077
I object to his open mind, judge.
260
00:14:54,077 --> 00:14:55,971
- Move to strike.
- Sustained.
261
00:14:55,971 --> 00:15:00,423
And then when I saw the documentary
"Outfoxed," it blew my mind.
262
00:15:00,423 --> 00:15:04,590
Because... / Because it detailed the extent
to which the media can go to promote
263
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:06,852
conservative republican causes.
264
00:15:06,852 --> 00:15:11,165
Your honor, we'd like to show you
a brief series of clips from this documentary.
265
00:15:11,705 --> 00:15:15,017
We weren't necessarily,
as it was told to us,
266
00:15:15,017 --> 00:15:18,309
a news-gathering organization
so much as we were
267
00:15:18,309 --> 00:15:20,341
a proponent of a point of view.
268
00:15:20,341 --> 00:15:22,359
They wanted all news
to be a matter of opinion.
269
00:15:22,359 --> 00:15:25,945
We were ordered from the top
to carry propaganda,
270
00:15:25,945 --> 00:15:28,428
carry republican
right-wing propaganda.
271
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:33,218
It was made very clear to us
that our activities were being monitored,
272
00:15:33,218 --> 00:15:36,528
and if someone wasn't watching it live,
they were at least recording it,
273
00:15:36,528 --> 00:15:40,328
and they would review it
after the fact to see what we did.
274
00:15:40,328 --> 00:15:43,894
If you watch the documentary,
and I strongly suggest that you do,
275
00:15:43,894 --> 00:15:46,391
you'll see that this goes
on and on and on,
276
00:15:46,391 --> 00:15:49,066
and these accounts are
from people on the inside.
277
00:15:49,066 --> 00:15:51,749
Okay, but to put a device
on the television?
278
00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:54,481
Well, I hate the idea
of shutting down free expression,
279
00:15:54,481 --> 00:15:56,925
but this became more
of a safety issue.
280
00:15:56,925 --> 00:15:58,356
A safety issue?
281
00:15:58,356 --> 00:16:01,782
They've got their talk show hosts
declaring that anyone who is opposed
282
00:16:01,782 --> 00:16:04,488
to the war is an enemy
of the state, a traitor.
283
00:16:04,488 --> 00:16:07,920
We're getting more and more fights,
kids are being attacked for being unpatriotic,
284
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,230
Arab and muslim students
are being targeted.
285
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:12,301
Maybe this little device is overkill.
286
00:16:12,301 --> 00:16:15,062
I admit that.
But I've got a high school to run,
287
00:16:15,062 --> 00:16:18,949
and the first order of the day
is keep the kids safe.
288
00:16:19,473 --> 00:16:25,526
I thought the first order of an academic
community was embracing diversity of opinion.
289
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:28,239
Not when it's bias
that fosters intolerance.
290
00:16:28,239 --> 00:16:30,931
Did you attach any little blockers
291
00:16:30,931 --> 00:16:35,179
to networks that lie about presidents
and, say, the national guard?
292
00:16:35,179 --> 00:16:37,222
I don't dispute there's
a liberal bias, too.
293
00:16:37,222 --> 00:16:38,827
But you don't censor those networks.
294
00:16:38,827 --> 00:16:40,778
Those networks don't
foster intolerance.
295
00:16:40,778 --> 00:16:44,326
Any blockers for shock jocks?
Or is racism and misogyny not a concern?
296
00:16:44,326 --> 00:16:47,095
Look, there's a lot of garbage out there.
I'll admit that.
297
00:16:47,095 --> 00:16:49,253
What about your own teachers?
298
00:16:49,253 --> 00:16:50,368
My teachers?
299
00:16:50,368 --> 00:16:54,766
A recent poll showed 6 out of 7
college professors voted for John Kerry.
300
00:16:54,766 --> 00:16:57,704
Does that not suggest
a bias in academia, Mr. Harper?
301
00:16:57,704 --> 00:17:01,027
Objection. / We've got
countless news programs,
302
00:17:01,027 --> 00:17:05,865
too many talk shows to keep track of,
all kinds of opinions being
303
00:17:05,865 --> 00:17:09,850
spewed out over the airwaves,
extremes to the left, to the right,
304
00:17:09,850 --> 00:17:13,496
- and the only thing you block...
- That's actually not true.
305
00:17:13,496 --> 00:17:15,462
There's all kinds
of programs we don't permit.
306
00:17:15,462 --> 00:17:16,710
But this is the only news show.
307
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:18,912
Look, what does it say
that they make a device
308
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:20,879
to block out this
particular news network?
309
00:17:20,879 --> 00:17:23,910
It says that censorship is popular.
That doesn't make it right.
310
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:27,347
And as principal,
I have to make that call.
311
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:30,191
And let me say this.
I'm a proud American.
312
00:17:30,191 --> 00:17:32,231
I got a flag on my porch.
313
00:17:32,231 --> 00:17:35,845
I pray for those troops every night.
I taught some of those kids.
314
00:17:35,845 --> 00:17:37,835
They're over there
fighting for democracy,
315
00:17:37,835 --> 00:17:40,941
which includes the right for you
to question your government.
316
00:17:40,941 --> 00:17:45,891
And for this network to be saying otherwise
offends me as a citizen and as a principal.
317
00:17:45,891 --> 00:17:49,361
I see. So...
318
00:17:49,361 --> 00:17:55,371
you're squashing content
to promote democracy.
319
00:17:55,371 --> 00:17:57,295
Once again,
320
00:17:57,295 --> 00:18:02,600
I will shut down
any content that fosters intolerance.
321
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,493
That is where I stand.
322
00:18:24,089 --> 00:18:26,932
You're going to dinner with him?
323
00:18:26,932 --> 00:18:28,785
I want to find out
what's really going on here.
324
00:18:28,785 --> 00:18:32,931
What's going on is a runaway ego.
It's all about the spotlight.
325
00:18:33,355 --> 00:18:35,399
The man wishes he were me.
326
00:18:35,399 --> 00:18:37,118
We all wish that, Denny.
327
00:18:37,118 --> 00:18:40,164
I know. I, I go way back with Milton.
328
00:18:40,164 --> 00:18:43,760
I know Milton like
the back of my hand.
329
00:18:45,052 --> 00:18:48,903
He knows he's gonna lose that motion.
No risk of him being frozen.
330
00:18:48,903 --> 00:18:52,844
In the meantime,
he's all over the news.
331
00:18:52,935 --> 00:18:56,143
I'm telling you,
the man wants to be me.
332
00:18:56,143 --> 00:18:58,499
Even so, I'm gonna have
a little talk with him.
333
00:18:58,499 --> 00:19:02,572
He's gonna insist you
go to Nicky Blair's. Watch.
334
00:19:02,572 --> 00:19:05,654
- Sorry?
- He pays them to let him sing.
335
00:19:05,654 --> 00:19:06,656
I beg your pardon?
336
00:19:06,656 --> 00:19:09,147
He slips the maitre d' 100 bucks
to come over to the table and say,
337
00:19:09,147 --> 00:19:12,114
"Please, Mr. Bombay,
sing us a song."
338
00:19:12,261 --> 00:19:15,486
It's all about the limelight with Milton.
339
00:19:15,486 --> 00:19:17,411
I promise you.
340
00:19:20,197 --> 00:19:21,683
What do you mean, lose?
341
00:19:21,683 --> 00:19:24,563
We're on the side
of the first amendment.
342
00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:28,276
The problem is, school principals
do have a wide discretion,
343
00:19:28,276 --> 00:19:31,728
and the material is
arguably inflammatory.
344
00:19:31,728 --> 00:19:35,690
If they can classify them
as disruptive speech...
345
00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:39,377
plus, I don't know which newscast
you've been watching recently,
346
00:19:39,377 --> 00:19:42,331
but the first amendment is
losing its luster lately.
347
00:19:42,331 --> 00:19:46,083
Some networks are even censoring
their scripted dramas.
348
00:19:46,083 --> 00:19:49,098
So what do we go with
if not freedom of expression?
349
00:19:49,098 --> 00:19:52,625
Meanwhile, actor Vince Odoms,
you know him as the judge
350
00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:55,077
in the Michael Jackson reenactment trial,
351
00:19:55,077 --> 00:19:58,223
has abruptly quit to go play Phil Spector
352
00:19:58,223 --> 00:20:01,926
in the reenactment of that trial
on a competing network.
353
00:20:01,926 --> 00:20:05,397
FBS president Rick Silverman
is threatening to sue,
354
00:20:05,397 --> 00:20:07,356
claiming the actor is under contract,
355
00:20:07,356 --> 00:20:12,783
and that it would be a material breach
to walk in the middle of ongoing litigation.
356
00:20:12,783 --> 00:20:18,332
Meanwhile, it was learned today that
the Los Angeles county sheriff's office...
357
00:20:23,878 --> 00:20:26,422
So what's the point?
358
00:20:26,422 --> 00:20:28,487
- The point?
- Of us having dinner.
359
00:20:28,487 --> 00:20:29,894
What's the point?
360
00:20:29,894 --> 00:20:33,546
If it's sexual, I'll need notice
so I can take my little pill.
361
00:20:33,546 --> 00:20:35,275
You asked to have dinner with Tara.
362
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:39,052
- What was the point of that?
- With her, I wouldn't need a pill.
363
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:42,522
You've talked a wonderful game
about the future,
364
00:20:42,522 --> 00:20:47,016
about wanting to perpetuate
your legacy into the next century.
365
00:20:47,016 --> 00:20:51,851
But when you were talking to Tara,
what I observed was...
366
00:20:51,851 --> 00:20:56,689
a man looking backwards,
a man who, perhaps, is lonely.
367
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:59,110
You've got it wrong.
368
00:20:59,482 --> 00:21:01,865
I saw Melancholy, Milton,
369
00:21:01,865 --> 00:21:06,823
and Melancholy accompanied
by the desire to be dead.
370
00:21:06,977 --> 00:21:09,818
Is this Milton Bombay
looking to check out in a way
371
00:21:09,818 --> 00:21:13,310
that doesn't tarnish
his grand reputation?
372
00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:16,440
Denny thinks you don't
want to win this case,
373
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,372
which would explain your hiring him,
but you also hired me.
374
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,522
You lost your wife, your job...
375
00:21:24,552 --> 00:21:26,879
are you just giving up, Milton?
376
00:21:26,879 --> 00:21:28,716
Let me tell you something.
377
00:21:28,716 --> 00:21:34,384
As science and medicine continue to
evolve, so must the law to keep pace.
378
00:21:34,384 --> 00:21:37,608
I'm blazing the trail as a patient today
so I can continue to set
379
00:21:37,608 --> 00:21:40,635
the standard as a lawyer tomorrow.
380
00:21:40,635 --> 00:21:43,684
- That's what this is about.
- Okay.
381
00:21:43,684 --> 00:21:46,141
Mr. Bombay, the band
and some of the patrons
382
00:21:46,141 --> 00:21:47,372
have requested that you grace
us with a song tonight.
383
00:21:47,372 --> 00:21:49,510
Yes, tell them to vamp.
She's making eyes.
384
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:51,973
- I'll be right up, Walter.
- Excellent. Thank you, sir.
385
00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:57,625
I happen to believe in reincarnation,
and I also believe things even out.
386
00:21:57,625 --> 00:21:59,806
Given the hand I was dealt this time,
387
00:21:59,806 --> 00:22:04,048
I could be in for some serious
hardships in the next go-around,
388
00:22:04,048 --> 00:22:06,868
and I don't want that in my next life.
389
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:12,606
I want to be me all over again,
Milton Bombay.
390
00:22:12,949 --> 00:22:14,100
Got it.
391
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:15,644
Ladies and gentlemen, a treat.
392
00:22:15,644 --> 00:22:21,503
A special guest performance from that
legendary barrister Milton Bombay!
393
00:22:27,086 --> 00:22:29,563
Thank you, thank you.
Good to be here, folks.
394
00:22:29,563 --> 00:22:32,993
Here's one of my favorites.
I hope it's one of yours, too.
395
00:22:37,858 --> 00:22:42,431
Ma, she's making eyes at me
396
00:22:42,431 --> 00:22:46,718
Ma, she's awful nice to me
397
00:22:46,718 --> 00:22:51,228
Ma, she's almost breaking my heart
398
00:22:51,228 --> 00:22:53,592
I'm beside her
399
00:22:53,592 --> 00:22:55,599
Mercy, let her conscience guide her
400
00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:59,756
Ma, she wants to marry me
401
00:22:59,756 --> 00:23:04,171
be my honeybee
402
00:23:04,171 --> 00:23:06,579
every minute she gets bolder
403
00:23:06,579 --> 00:23:08,759
now she's leaning on my shoulder
404
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:13,018
Ma, she's kissing me
405
00:23:21,315 --> 00:23:22,790
What do you mean you're closing?
406
00:23:22,790 --> 00:23:24,830
- What happened to Shirley?
- Milton,
407
00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:26,985
there's a reason you
came to me in the first place.
408
00:23:26,985 --> 00:23:29,652
In your gut, you know
I'm better than you.
409
00:23:29,652 --> 00:23:32,891
- Go with your gut.
- I'd sooner go with my intestine.
410
00:23:32,891 --> 00:23:36,749
- I'd prefer Shirley doing the closing.
- I'm not doing it,
411
00:23:36,838 --> 00:23:39,969
- and neither are you.
- Well, who does that leave,
412
00:23:39,969 --> 00:23:42,480
- Tammy?
- Tara.
413
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,700
As I said from the start,
the law doesn't support us here.
414
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:48,151
If we're going to get a court
order allowing you to die,
415
00:23:48,151 --> 00:23:50,184
which would be the
result in today's world,
416
00:23:50,184 --> 00:23:52,041
that judge is going to
have to hear from you.
417
00:23:52,041 --> 00:23:55,519
- He did hear from me.
- I don't think so.
418
00:23:55,519 --> 00:24:00,996
If this is only about you getting to
perpetuate your legacy in the next century,
419
00:24:00,996 --> 00:24:04,533
I'm afraid you're gonna have to make
do with sustaining it in this one.
420
00:24:04,533 --> 00:24:05,981
You need to do better.
421
00:24:05,981 --> 00:24:07,916
And, Milton, for my money,
422
00:24:07,916 --> 00:24:14,672
any guy who is asking to get stuck
in a freezer isn't that desperate to live.
423
00:24:21,947 --> 00:24:25,942
Every major media watchdog group
has labeled this news program
424
00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:29,464
as the most biased, right-wing
news program on television.
425
00:24:29,464 --> 00:24:33,027
So what? Political bias is rampant
throughout the news business,
426
00:24:33,027 --> 00:24:34,444
including liberal bias.
427
00:24:34,444 --> 00:24:37,195
We're not talking
about just a slant, judge.
428
00:24:37,195 --> 00:24:40,897
A recent poll showed that the more
people watched this news show,
429
00:24:40,897 --> 00:24:43,354
the less they know about foreign policy
430
00:24:43,354 --> 00:24:46,070
and the more inclined they are
to support the government.
431
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:50,543
Now, that may be good team spirit,
but it's disgraceful journalism.
432
00:24:50,543 --> 00:24:52,161
But, come on,
you talk about a democracy.
433
00:24:52,161 --> 00:24:54,787
What kind of principal
censors free expression?
434
00:24:54,787 --> 00:24:57,056
Um, your honor, if I may?
435
00:24:57,528 --> 00:25:00,169
Any principal has the right,
if not the obligation,
436
00:25:00,169 --> 00:25:02,082
to rail against bias
wherever he sees it.
437
00:25:02,082 --> 00:25:04,735
- You saw that tape.
- Which was also biased and self-serving.
438
00:25:04,735 --> 00:25:09,614
Their most popular commentator threatens
retribution against those who dissent.
439
00:25:09,614 --> 00:25:12,243
It almost rises to
the level of hate speech,
440
00:25:12,243 --> 00:25:16,150
and if, in my view, it jeopardizes
the welfare of the students,
441
00:25:16,150 --> 00:25:19,670
I certainly have the authority
to shut it down.
442
00:25:21,731 --> 00:25:24,466
Mr. Shore, this is a school.
443
00:25:24,466 --> 00:25:28,587
Is it wise to expose students
to programs which send the message
444
00:25:28,587 --> 00:25:31,259
you're anti-American
if you question the government?
445
00:25:31,259 --> 00:25:35,165
Your honor, before we convict them
as the network of conservative values
446
00:25:35,165 --> 00:25:37,521
or any values, for that matter,
447
00:25:37,521 --> 00:25:39,629
Let's remember these are
the folks who brought you
448
00:25:39,629 --> 00:25:41,654
"Joe, Billy, and Aaron,
who's your papa?"
449
00:25:41,654 --> 00:25:45,545
That's the entertainment division, Mr. Shore.
I'm talking about the news.
450
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:49,234
And I'm telling you it's all the same.
This isn't about political content.
451
00:25:49,234 --> 00:25:52,207
This is a corporation
looking to make money.
452
00:25:52,207 --> 00:25:56,122
They began as alternative news
programming to grab a market share
453
00:25:56,122 --> 00:25:59,022
they saw ratings and profit
in a conservative demographic,
454
00:25:59,022 --> 00:26:02,153
and they've been waving
the flag ever since, and so what?
455
00:26:02,153 --> 00:26:05,245
News today, all of it, is infotainment.
456
00:26:05,245 --> 00:26:09,674
Last February, a deadly toxin
known as ricin was found in the mailroom
457
00:26:09,674 --> 00:26:11,410
of the senate majority leader.
458
00:26:11,410 --> 00:26:14,895
Headline news led with Janet
Jackson's exposed breast.
459
00:26:14,895 --> 00:26:17,789
A month ago, while we're
in the middle of a war,
460
00:26:17,789 --> 00:26:21,917
newscasts all across the country led with
prince Harry's costume at a keg party.
461
00:26:21,917 --> 00:26:23,042
It's a business.
462
00:26:23,042 --> 00:26:26,910
And while some news groups
go with the deeper social issues
463
00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:28,593
like Brad and Jennifer's breakup,
464
00:26:28,593 --> 00:26:31,465
the one here chooses to run
with red, white, and blue.
465
00:26:31,465 --> 00:26:33,582
And, by the way,
before you vilify them,
466
00:26:33,582 --> 00:26:40,071
a survey done in 2002 revealed that
70% of the people in this country
467
00:26:40,071 --> 00:26:46,271
believe it is good when news organizations
take a strong, pro-American point of view.
468
00:26:46,271 --> 00:26:49,061
- 70%.
- Does that make it right?
469
00:26:49,061 --> 00:26:50,925
Of course it makes it right.
470
00:26:50,925 --> 00:26:54,554
Because the rule in infotainment
is "give the people what they want."
471
00:26:54,554 --> 00:26:57,678
This is money, your honor, not politics.
472
00:26:57,961 --> 00:27:00,936
Let me say,
I am a great lover of the news.
473
00:27:00,936 --> 00:27:03,297
- I can see that.
- I watch it all.
474
00:27:03,297 --> 00:27:08,115
On days like 9/11 or
for other world-changing events,
475
00:27:08,115 --> 00:27:12,659
the news programs are nothing
short of spectacular.
476
00:27:12,659 --> 00:27:16,840
When Martin Luther King
delivered "I have a dream."
477
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,264
When president Kennedy was shot.
478
00:27:19,264 --> 00:27:21,122
When we walked on the moon.
479
00:27:21,122 --> 00:27:22,830
The tet offensive.
480
00:27:22,830 --> 00:27:28,165
Our lives are shaped by these events,
in part because of the news.
481
00:27:28,165 --> 00:27:31,432
But on all other days,
they're businesses
482
00:27:31,432 --> 00:27:36,059
looking to compete, like anybody else,
in a highly competitive marketplace.
483
00:27:36,059 --> 00:27:37,869
They sell product.
484
00:27:37,869 --> 00:27:40,615
And even if you're determined to believe
485
00:27:40,615 --> 00:27:45,473
that this particular network is some evil empire
looking to spread right-wing propaganda,
486
00:27:45,473 --> 00:27:48,966
that still doesn't change the fact
that we are in this room today
487
00:27:48,966 --> 00:27:53,021
because a principal is shutting down
the expression of ideas,
488
00:27:53,021 --> 00:27:56,220
simply because he
disagrees with the content.
489
00:27:57,573 --> 00:28:01,087
If anything needs a champion today,
490
00:28:01,087 --> 00:28:03,423
it's the first amendment.
491
00:28:03,572 --> 00:28:05,230
In a recent poll,
492
00:28:05,230 --> 00:28:07,712
half of today's high school students
493
00:28:07,712 --> 00:28:12,856
thought newspapers should get government
approval of stories before publishing them.
494
00:28:12,856 --> 00:28:16,777
The first amendment has become
an endangered species,
495
00:28:16,777 --> 00:28:22,256
and here, we have a high school principal
practicing censorship.
496
00:28:23,632 --> 00:28:25,703
My, my.
497
00:28:25,703 --> 00:28:28,297
We do have a problem.
498
00:28:42,707 --> 00:28:46,322
There is nothing in the law
to support Mr. Bombay's request
499
00:28:46,322 --> 00:28:49,200
that he be assisted in his quest to die.
500
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,932
And that's what this is,
assisted suicide.
501
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:57,829
Now, we hear a lot of talk
about personal autonomy.
502
00:28:57,829 --> 00:29:01,096
But there is a sanctity
to life, your honor.
503
00:29:01,096 --> 00:29:03,819
A state has interest in that sanctity.
504
00:29:03,819 --> 00:29:07,452
If we erode that in any way,
505
00:29:07,452 --> 00:29:12,224
well, we make the idea
of suicide more acceptable,
506
00:29:12,224 --> 00:29:17,398
perhaps more conceivable for the troubled
teenager or the depressed mother.
507
00:29:17,398 --> 00:29:21,658
You say suicide in some situations
is an option.
508
00:29:21,658 --> 00:29:23,834
But we have
an overriding state interest
509
00:29:23,834 --> 00:29:28,698
and a humane one in
not sending that message.
510
00:29:36,966 --> 00:29:38,001
You...
511
00:29:38,001 --> 00:29:40,158
That was beautiful. Now sit.
512
00:30:01,705 --> 00:30:05,221
At the risk of sounding immodest,
513
00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:09,039
I am one of the greatest lawyers,
possibly the greatest to grace
514
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,240
the courtrooms of this commonwealth,
515
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:19,243
and just the possibility of being able
to still try cases in the 22nd century...
516
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,967
I have A.L.S.
517
00:30:37,967 --> 00:30:40,176
In a few months,
518
00:30:40,176 --> 00:30:42,777
I'll lose motor control,
519
00:30:42,777 --> 00:30:45,552
control of my bowels.
520
00:30:45,552 --> 00:30:48,954
My brain will begin to...
521
00:30:49,323 --> 00:30:53,215
and in a year or so, I'll be dead.
522
00:30:55,099 --> 00:30:57,991
Legends shouldn't die like that.
523
00:30:57,991 --> 00:31:01,955
I don't want to die like that.
524
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:06,460
Cryonics might not work.
525
00:31:06,460 --> 00:31:12,803
But 100 years ago, nobody was talking
about cloning or the human genome.
526
00:31:12,803 --> 00:31:17,902
And 100 years from now,
who knows what's possible?
527
00:31:18,036 --> 00:31:23,422
I truly, truly love life.
528
00:31:23,422 --> 00:31:27,053
And the chance to be living again
529
00:31:27,053 --> 00:31:32,782
seems preferable to
eternal nothingness.
530
00:31:33,022 --> 00:31:35,787
And, uh, well...
531
00:31:36,997 --> 00:31:43,290
what Red sox fan wouldn't jump
at the chance to lie next to Ted Williams?
532
00:31:44,178 --> 00:31:46,287
I realize, your honor,
533
00:31:46,287 --> 00:31:51,893
that no judge would do
what I'm asking for.
534
00:31:59,605 --> 00:32:02,320
Do it anyway.
535
00:32:34,504 --> 00:32:36,826
Why didn't you tell me
you were sick?
536
00:32:36,826 --> 00:32:38,971
Because I'm a tree.
537
00:32:38,971 --> 00:32:42,803
When I fall, I want it
to be in a forest.
538
00:32:43,067 --> 00:32:45,225
What the hell does that mean?
539
00:32:45,676 --> 00:32:48,811
It means I didn't want
anybody to know.
540
00:32:48,811 --> 00:32:51,261
I don't want to be pitied.
541
00:32:51,261 --> 00:32:53,127
All I want is to be...
542
00:32:53,127 --> 00:32:55,385
Denny Crane.
543
00:33:01,426 --> 00:33:03,767
Mine's bigger.
544
00:33:05,171 --> 00:33:07,636
You know...
545
00:33:09,986 --> 00:33:13,291
I've always admired you, Milton.
546
00:33:13,386 --> 00:33:16,199
I'm not dead yet.
547
00:33:16,667 --> 00:33:19,920
When is the judge gonna rule?
548
00:33:20,578 --> 00:33:24,056
He said by tonight.
549
00:33:27,701 --> 00:33:31,236
I grew up watching Walter Cronkite.
550
00:33:31,236 --> 00:33:37,148
It was a time the news seemed
to be fair, objective, trusted.
551
00:33:37,148 --> 00:33:41,852
In fact, whenever we doubted the blather
coming out of the politicians' mouths,
552
00:33:41,852 --> 00:33:45,440
it was the press we turned to
to get a sense of the truth.
553
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:51,307
Well, Walter Cronkite has
definitely left the building.
554
00:33:51,307 --> 00:33:55,047
When it comes to credibility,
big media is dead.
555
00:33:55,047 --> 00:33:57,423
Networks pander,
556
00:33:57,423 --> 00:34:00,065
some to conservatives,
others to liberals.
557
00:34:00,065 --> 00:34:04,602
This past election, you could turn to one
channel to see president Bush ahead.
558
00:34:04,602 --> 00:34:07,664
Turn to another
to see Kerry leading.
559
00:34:07,751 --> 00:34:09,445
Ridiculous.
560
00:34:10,076 --> 00:34:12,494
And I agree with Mr. Shore.
561
00:34:12,494 --> 00:34:15,756
It's probably more about money
than ideology,
562
00:34:15,756 --> 00:34:18,530
and being about money,
563
00:34:18,530 --> 00:34:21,319
well, why shouldn't networks
be free to adopt a bias
564
00:34:21,319 --> 00:34:23,902
in hopes of attracting
a bigger audience?
565
00:34:23,902 --> 00:34:26,298
This is America.
566
00:34:27,438 --> 00:34:29,573
Mr. Harper,
567
00:34:29,573 --> 00:34:33,363
I realize times have changed
in the high schools as well.
568
00:34:33,363 --> 00:34:35,898
Hate violence is on the rise.
569
00:34:35,898 --> 00:34:40,018
Administrators have to be freer
to curtail students' civil liberties,
570
00:34:40,018 --> 00:34:42,351
including disruptive speech.
571
00:34:42,351 --> 00:34:47,666
But attaching a device to a television
that blocks out a certain network
572
00:34:47,666 --> 00:34:52,736
because of the content,
that seems to go too far.
573
00:34:53,297 --> 00:34:55,517
It's censorship, sir.
574
00:34:56,910 --> 00:34:59,658
And I can't let it stand.
575
00:35:01,465 --> 00:35:04,756
The motion for
the plaintiff is granted.
576
00:35:13,471 --> 00:35:15,765
I don't know
what to say, Mr. Shore.
577
00:35:15,765 --> 00:35:18,185
You were incredibly brilliant.
578
00:35:18,185 --> 00:35:20,170
Yes.
579
00:35:20,343 --> 00:35:23,511
If there's any retribution
at the school, let us know.
580
00:35:23,511 --> 00:35:25,124
Yeah, I will.
581
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:27,320
Thank you both.
582
00:35:28,299 --> 00:35:30,978
Your country thanks you.
583
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:42,388
My country thanks me.
584
00:35:52,343 --> 00:35:55,324
This is where
he gives his ruling.
585
00:35:55,324 --> 00:35:57,567
Thank you.
586
00:36:04,316 --> 00:36:07,415
Mr. Bombay, it seems ironic,
587
00:36:07,415 --> 00:36:09,304
if not indecent,
588
00:36:09,304 --> 00:36:12,709
that the state's interest
in preserving life
589
00:36:12,709 --> 00:36:16,563
should mandate that you die
a wrenching and painful death,
590
00:36:16,563 --> 00:36:20,644
rather than be frozen
in hopes of finding a cure.
591
00:36:20,644 --> 00:36:24,600
But that is the law
as it stands today.
592
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,822
We live in a country that celebrates
individual liberties and personal autonomy,
593
00:36:28,822 --> 00:36:32,659
but when it comes to controlling
your own destiny,
594
00:36:32,659 --> 00:36:36,712
this is a freedom
that does not yet ring.
595
00:36:36,843 --> 00:36:39,923
I will pray for you,
596
00:36:39,923 --> 00:36:43,129
but I cannot grant
you your request.
597
00:36:44,025 --> 00:36:46,017
Your motion is denied.
598
00:36:48,103 --> 00:36:50,332
God bless you.
599
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:56,714
I'm sorry.
600
00:36:56,714 --> 00:36:58,316
We can appeal.
601
00:36:58,316 --> 00:36:59,874
Next time, I'll close.
602
00:36:59,874 --> 00:37:02,897
That's all right, that's all right. I'm, uh,
603
00:37:03,172 --> 00:37:05,660
heading for Arizona,
604
00:37:05,660 --> 00:37:07,940
try my luck with
the courts down there.
605
00:37:07,940 --> 00:37:12,231
Milton, no court anywhere
is going to rule in your favor.
606
00:37:12,231 --> 00:37:16,232
Even so, there's
a cryonics facility there,
607
00:37:16,232 --> 00:37:17,955
so whenever the time comes...
608
00:37:17,955 --> 00:37:19,840
Do you know anybody in Arizona?
609
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,181
No, and that's the point.
610
00:37:22,181 --> 00:37:24,720
I don't want to deteriorate
in front of my...
611
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:28,352
Clearly, you're not inclined
to follow my advice,
612
00:37:28,352 --> 00:37:30,709
but do not go off to die alone.
613
00:37:30,709 --> 00:37:34,324
Hey, you live your way, Shirley,
614
00:37:34,324 --> 00:37:36,347
I'll die mine.
615
00:37:36,347 --> 00:37:40,302
I'm entitled to be remembered for...
616
00:37:43,571 --> 00:37:47,558
Thank you both for your efforts.
617
00:37:49,398 --> 00:37:51,748
Milton. Milton.
618
00:37:59,275 --> 00:38:01,673
We go way back, you and I.
619
00:38:02,779 --> 00:38:04,789
Let's not get carried away.
620
00:38:04,789 --> 00:38:08,820
We were worthy adversaries,
occasional drinking buddies,
621
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:14,307
but it's not as if we had
great affection for one another.
622
00:38:14,949 --> 00:38:17,867
Anyway...
623
00:38:26,594 --> 00:38:28,751
We'll see you, Milton.
624
00:38:30,051 --> 00:38:32,766
Yeah. See you.
625
00:38:38,595 --> 00:38:41,235
See you, Denny.
626
00:38:53,227 --> 00:38:55,424
Good-bye, my friend.
627
00:38:55,522 --> 00:38:57,830
Good-bye. Good-bye.
628
00:39:43,947 --> 00:39:46,511
I'm sorry. / Hey.
629
00:39:48,580 --> 00:39:52,482
People get old, get sick.
It happens to everybody.
630
00:39:53,290 --> 00:39:56,118
How close were you?
631
00:39:56,118 --> 00:39:59,047
It's not that we went that deep.
It's...
632
00:39:59,047 --> 00:40:00,932
We went...
633
00:40:00,932 --> 00:40:02,928
way back.
634
00:40:04,098 --> 00:40:08,771
You can be larger than life,
just not death.
635
00:40:12,098 --> 00:40:14,567
- He went off to Arizona?
- Yeah.
636
00:40:16,603 --> 00:40:22,680
I really admired him more than...
637
00:40:28,097 --> 00:40:32,378
You go through life, and you never tell
people how much you care about them,
638
00:40:32,378 --> 00:40:34,927
when...
639
00:40:37,897 --> 00:40:41,456
people should probably
do that more, you know?
640
00:40:44,525 --> 00:40:47,128
I care about you.
641
00:40:47,128 --> 00:40:51,388
I wasn't fishing for that.
I fish for steelhead, not mush.
642
00:40:52,469 --> 00:40:55,074
I care about you, Denny.
643
00:40:56,292 --> 00:40:58,565
You don't have to say it back.
644
00:41:06,762 --> 00:41:09,417
Wasn't planning to.
