Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,439
Previously on "Boston Legal"
2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:02,439
I'd like to get married
3
00:00:02,624 --> 00:00:03,166
What?
4
00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:04,025
I wanna get married
5
00:00:04,025 --> 00:00:05,025
The answer is yes
6
00:00:05,823 --> 00:00:06,823
May I kiss the bride?
7
00:00:10,045 --> 00:00:11,045
It should be you
8
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:12,081
It's wooden Judge
9
00:00:12,081 --> 00:00:14,063
A propreoseptive tool
10
00:00:14,063 --> 00:00:15,063
What is this?
11
00:00:15,077 --> 00:00:16,044
New therapy
12
00:00:16,044 --> 00:00:16,444
Good isn't it?
13
00:00:16,498 --> 00:00:18,298
You will be utterly reduced to an ineffective,
14
00:00:18,386 --> 00:00:21,286
mumbling, inarticulate man with Asbergers disease
15
00:00:21,298 --> 00:00:23,198
I'll hold you in contempt right now
16
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:24,270
My handcuffs or yours?
17
00:00:24,337 --> 00:00:26,037
You better respect this robe Alan
18
00:00:26,107 --> 00:00:28,207
Shall we get started Judge
19
00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:31,296
I'm gonna hate myself in the morning
20
00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:42,094
I really appreciate you taking the time
to see me. You look great, by the way.
21
00:00:42,566 --> 00:00:44,324
You should see me naked.
22
00:00:44,324 --> 00:00:47,111
Really? I always found you
much sexier fully-clothed.
23
00:00:47,111 --> 00:00:49,095
Is that why you always took me skiing?
24
00:00:49,326 --> 00:00:50,869
Anything to get you in a parka.
25
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:53,591
I can see the two of you had a personal history together.
26
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:57,156
Can I have one? You're so desirable.
27
00:00:57,610 --> 00:01:00,206
How can I help you, Kaye?
28
00:01:00,206 --> 00:01:04,658
Okay. Don't laugh. These are called Tarties dolls.
29
00:01:05,614 --> 00:01:09,345
My daughter plays with them, or wishes she could. She's six.
30
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:13,643
Many of her friends have them, the ones who don't, want them,
31
00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:16,621
and as you can see, they look like little hookers.
32
00:01:17,216 --> 00:01:19,147
I bet they make great stocking stuffers.
33
00:01:19,147 --> 00:01:23,457
They sell them nationwide at major retailers,
including Fletcher's at the mall in my town.
34
00:01:24,019 --> 00:01:25,774
It's the equivalent of pornography in my opinion, which�
35
00:01:26,424 --> 00:01:28,116
--you know I support.
36
00:01:28,322 --> 00:01:31,942
My daughter got these as gifts for her birthday.
These were her favorite gifts, by the way.
37
00:01:32,364 --> 00:01:34,116
But not your favorite, I suspect. Denny.
38
00:01:35,379 --> 00:01:37,247
Fletcher's is a family-oriented department store.
39
00:01:38,021 --> 00:01:42,495
You've seen their commercials.
I would like to somehow get them to discontinue selling these.
40
00:01:42,495 --> 00:01:44,764
It's totally irresponsible. My daughter is six.
41
00:01:44,764 --> 00:01:47,814
Kaye, you can't possibly expect me to
oppose something as titillating as-
42
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:52,184
Alan, I said my daughter. She's also your daughter.
43
00:01:55,838 --> 00:01:58,683
Okay, she's not, but imagine if you had one. Do you?
44
00:01:58,983 --> 00:02:00,474
Not that I know of, but�
45
00:02:00,474 --> 00:02:02,533
Please? I really wanna shut this down.
46
00:02:02,919 --> 00:02:05,118
We have no grounds whatsoever to--
47
00:02:05,118 --> 00:02:07,581
I would think Fletcher's would be
concerned about the negative publicity.
48
00:02:07,581 --> 00:02:08,255
Denny.
49
00:02:08,255 --> 00:02:11,758
Just get us in the courtroom� please?
50
00:02:11,758 --> 00:02:14,482
Let me try the long shot first.
I'll contact counsel for Fletcher's
51
00:02:15,462 --> 00:02:18,613
and persuade them that it might be in their
best interest to voluntarily pull the dolls.
52
00:02:19,416 --> 00:02:22,979
But I must say Kaye these dolls to
me seem� good for society.
53
00:02:24,283 --> 00:02:26,785
Thank you. Mr. Crane, thank you.
54
00:02:26,785 --> 00:02:28,689
Not to worry. We never lose.
55
00:02:28,689 --> 00:02:29,699
I'll be in touch.
56
00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:30,949
Okay.
57
00:02:34,547 --> 00:02:35,268
Give it to me.
58
00:02:35,268 --> 00:02:37,349
What?
59
00:02:37,349 --> 00:02:39,435
Denny. Give me the doll.
60
00:02:43,074 --> 00:02:44,274
She's hot.
61
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:20,144
Hey, Shirley.
62
00:03:20,144 --> 00:03:22,506
Hey! What's going on?
63
00:03:22,506 --> 00:03:23,756
Well�
64
00:03:23,756 --> 00:03:25,656
We have a little announcement to make.
65
00:03:25,656 --> 00:03:30,425
Brad and I are getting married.
66
00:03:30,425 --> 00:03:34,671
Oh! Please! Very funny.
67
00:03:34,671 --> 00:03:36,051
No. I� We are. I love him
and I decided to marry him.
68
00:03:38,387 --> 00:03:45,285
Oh. Oh! Oh, well. That is wonderful!.
69
00:03:49,408 --> 00:03:52,126
Why do you think this is so ridiculous?
70
00:03:52,126 --> 00:03:57,326
I do not think it's ridiculous.
I'm� I'm just overwhelmed. I,
71
00:03:58,258 --> 00:04:03,528
I mean we all thought it was just a
matter of time before you two love-birds�
72
00:04:04,362 --> 00:04:10,065
Ha.. I don't know what to say� ha, ha.
73
00:04:22,876 --> 00:04:23,777
Are you making fun of me?
74
00:04:24,227 --> 00:04:25,235
Uh� no sir.
75
00:04:25,235 --> 00:04:26,671
I saw you. You hopped.
76
00:04:26,671 --> 00:04:32,410
Oh. I got this sense that you were
about to hop, and I just hopped too.
77
00:04:33,112 --> 00:04:35,143
It wasn't to make fun of you.
78
00:04:40,259 --> 00:04:41,656
Why are you following me?
79
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:44,011
Oh. I'm Mr. Shore's assistant. This is my office.
80
00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:47,066
Oh. He in?
81
00:04:47,066 --> 00:04:49,419
Yes sir.
82
00:04:52,941 --> 00:04:55,465
Thanks, much!
83
00:04:58,488 --> 00:05:00,888
How we doin', Al?
Good to see you.
84
00:05:00,888 --> 00:05:03,189
Family's good I take it!
85
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:06,064
Jerry. I don't have a family.
86
00:05:06,423 --> 00:05:10,892
Small courtesies. Don't take it literal, Al.
Your people called my people about Fletcher's.
87
00:05:11,929 --> 00:05:12,915
What can I do you for?
88
00:05:12,915 --> 00:05:14,323
You represent Fletcher's Department Stores?
89
00:05:14,323 --> 00:05:18,740
Some. Not all. I represent the one you're
trying to shake down. What's the problem?
90
00:05:19,175 --> 00:05:20,472
Before we discuss that problem,
I'd like to address ours, Jerry.
91
00:05:23,638 --> 00:05:27,595
Didn't know we had one. What have I done now?.
92
00:05:27,595 --> 00:05:29,095
Would you please stop that?
93
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:31,762
No. This is the persona I use in my cases.
94
00:05:31,762 --> 00:05:34,064
Especially against the tricky, sleazy lawyers!
95
00:05:34,688 --> 00:05:37,734
Which I consider you to be.
I say it with affection, Al.
96
00:05:37,734 --> 00:05:42,372
Jerry, please, stop it.
May I have the wooden cigarette, please?
97
00:05:42,402 --> 00:05:45,339
No, I use this. If you don't like it, tough!
98
00:05:47,131 --> 00:05:48,560
Okay.
99
00:05:49,586 --> 00:05:50,586
First off, I'm thrilled for you.
100
00:05:51,099 --> 00:05:54,399
I'm very impressed�
Fletcher's Department Stores for a client.
101
00:05:54,476 --> 00:06:00,872
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we're both blowin' fake smoke.
Que es la problema with mi cliento?
102
00:06:00,878 --> 00:06:05,599
Your client sells these dolls, they're called Tarties,
103
00:06:05,650 --> 00:06:09,150
quite sexual in nature and yet they market
them to children. We'd like them to stop.
104
00:06:09,219 --> 00:06:13,487
My client makes a lot of money on those
dolls, Al. They're just harmless fun.
105
00:06:13,511 --> 00:06:17,560
Do you have a collection? That might make Patty jealous.
106
00:06:17,659 --> 00:06:20,542
Nice try, Al.
What else you got?
107
00:06:25,511 --> 00:06:27,448
I don't like the new you, Jerry.
108
00:06:30,461 --> 00:06:32,568
Sorry to disappoint
109
00:06:32,569 --> 00:06:33,569
We done here?
110
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:40,174
Yes. See you in court.
111
00:06:40,277 --> 00:06:43,749
It's a date! My best to the Mrs.
112
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,305
The wooden cigarette? Again?
113
00:06:57,379 --> 00:07:00,420
Yeah. I've lost a friend, Denny.
114
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:06,303
It was so upsetting to� oh� I've lost a very good friend.
115
00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:07,638
In other words he succeeded in distracting you.
116
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:14,371
Say what you will about Hands, Alan, the
man's a genius. He's trading on your guilt here.
117
00:07:14,374 --> 00:07:17,732
Putting you in the exact state of mind you're in.
118
00:07:17,761 --> 00:07:21,032
It's not the wooden cigarette he's using. It's you.
119
00:07:21,795 --> 00:07:23,962
I wonder.
120
00:07:23,962 --> 00:07:25,406
Denny!
121
00:07:25,498 --> 00:07:28,198
The interview for the new litigation associate�
122
00:07:28,294 --> 00:07:29,294
Yes.
123
00:07:29,726 --> 00:07:30,780
Well, if you're too busy�
124
00:07:30,853 --> 00:07:31,895
No, no, not too busy.
125
00:07:31,987 --> 00:07:33,077
It's okay, we can, we can�
126
00:07:33,129 --> 00:07:35,462
No, no. I'd like to meet him.
I hear he's very good.
127
00:07:35,934 --> 00:07:41,492
Yeah. He's a terrific candidate.
And Denny� we don't want to lose him.
128
00:07:41,855 --> 00:07:44,130
And you're afraid I'll say the wrong thing and blow it?
129
00:07:44,198 --> 00:07:46,306
No. It's not that. It's uh�
130
00:07:46,388 --> 00:07:48,205
It's uh� what, Paul? What?
131
00:07:48,544 --> 00:07:52,813
Well� what if he says the wrong thing?
132
00:07:52,988 --> 00:07:54,687
We're afraid you'll shoot him.
133
00:07:54,687 --> 00:07:56,377
We need this guy, Denny.
134
00:07:56,377 --> 00:07:57,661
I'll take the interview.
135
00:07:57,730 --> 00:07:58,135
Ugh.
136
00:07:58,167 --> 00:07:59,266
And Paul?
137
00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:02,530
On your way out, when you pass the receptionist,
138
00:08:02,655 --> 00:08:06,355
check out the name of the firm.
See whose name comes first.
139
00:08:21,628 --> 00:08:27,276
Shirley? Why do you think it's so
ridiculous that I'm gonna marry Brad?
140
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:29,245
I don't.
141
00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:32,815
Yes you do. I saw your face. Come on.
You've always been honest with me.
142
00:08:32,833 --> 00:08:36,945
Oh, ho! That is not true.
If I had a nickel for every lie�
143
00:08:37,032 --> 00:08:38,824
Please.
144
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:43,111
Why does my opinion even matter?
145
00:08:43,842 --> 00:08:45,865
Because it does!
146
00:08:45,896 --> 00:08:49,815
Well that should tell you something right there.
If you need the approval of others�
147
00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:53,446
I don't need approval.
I just wanted� I don't know.
148
00:08:53,495 --> 00:08:53,686
Advice?
149
00:08:53,765 --> 00:08:55,891
Maybe. Yeah.
150
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,276
Ah. You, you don't love him.
151
00:09:03,066 --> 00:09:04,766
At least not enough.
152
00:09:04,861 --> 00:09:09,161
You're having his baby; it's no doubt
the practical thing to marry him.
153
00:09:09,202 --> 00:09:13,902
Perhaps even better for the baby,
but um�you don't love him enough.
154
00:09:13,993 --> 00:09:16,367
How dare you? What business is it of yours?
155
00:09:24,406 --> 00:09:26,026
Mr. Shore?
156
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:27,032
You all set?
157
00:09:27,032 --> 00:09:32,208
Yes. I didn't challenge zoning
in the motion. I alleged nuisance.
158
00:09:32,301 --> 00:09:32,838
Nuisance?
159
00:09:32,852 --> 00:09:37,154
Yes. It's more viable. It's a question
of fact. It won't get kicked.
160
00:09:37,236 --> 00:09:38,979
Okay.
161
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:42,149
Ah, you don't seem focused, Alan.
162
00:09:42,172 --> 00:09:48,450
I'm not! I'm up against a friend who�
he's doing what you do, I suppose.
163
00:09:48,527 --> 00:09:56,627
He's taking on a false persona which makes him
feel more comfortable, because in his own skin�
164
00:09:57,590 --> 00:10:00,623
Part of me feels that I've helped to
destroy the real Jerry Espenson.
165
00:10:00,624 --> 00:10:01,624
And I feel horrible about that.
166
00:10:03,122 --> 00:10:07,127
Okay. In the meantime you got a case to do.
167
00:10:07,174 --> 00:10:11,774
You need to go win this, Alan.
For your friend. For her daughter. For Jerry.
168
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:13,290
For Jerry? How so?
169
00:10:13,367 --> 00:10:15,347
If he beats you at full strength, fine.
170
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:23,048
But if he senses you're in there feeling sorry for him�
Take it from me, that's the worst.
171
00:10:24,385 --> 00:10:25,632
So I should go in there and�
172
00:10:25,704 --> 00:10:27,300
Kick his ass.
173
00:10:27,921 --> 00:10:32,114
I suppose you're right. Most honorable
thing I could do would be to�
174
00:10:32,177 --> 00:10:37,076
Kick. His. Ass.
175
00:10:39,736 --> 00:10:47,079
All rise. Case number seven, seven, two, six, four,
Kaye Kent versus Fletcher's Department Store.
176
00:10:49,217 --> 00:10:50,223
Oh dear.
177
00:10:50,248 --> 00:10:52,234
What, oh dear?
178
00:10:52,325 --> 00:10:55,779
This may not be the ideal Judge.
She'd like those dolls more than I do.
179
00:10:55,847 --> 00:10:58,254
Your Honor, we would ask that
you dismiss this complaint
180
00:10:58,255 --> 00:11:01,855
on the face of the allegations, none of
which support a viable cause of action.
181
00:11:02,363 --> 00:11:05,565
My client sells these dolls nationwide without incident.
182
00:11:06,012 --> 00:11:07,012
Is there something unique about the
plaintiff's particular neighborhood?
183
00:11:08,812 --> 00:11:10,945
Before we get started I would ask
that Your Honor recuse herself.
184
00:11:12,411 --> 00:11:14,581
The Judge and I are friends, Jerry.
185
00:11:14,717 --> 00:11:15,741
Yes, Alan.
186
00:11:15,782 --> 00:11:20,382
And the wheels of justice would grind to a
halt if we recused every jurist you've slept with.
187
00:11:20,439 --> 00:11:23,139
Tell you what. How about we go with,
"Don't ask, don't tell?"
188
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:25,371
Because for me the bragging gets old.
189
00:11:25,377 --> 00:11:29,777
Oh, don't worry, Your Honor, he said you were
phenomenal. He's got you on his Top Ten list.
190
00:11:29,819 --> 00:11:30,702
Excuse me?
191
00:11:30,781 --> 00:11:35,815
That is not true! I didn't tell him
anything. He's completely fabricating.
192
00:11:35,821 --> 00:11:39,655
Oh! Oh, because you sleep with so many
Judges he made an educated guess?
193
00:11:39,678 --> 00:11:42,138
No, no, no, no, no, no.. Nooooo! I�
194
00:11:42,217 --> 00:11:44,957
Your Honor, I don't doubt you can remain impartial.
195
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:48,430
Despite Counsel's claim that you eat out of
the palm of his� To Alan. �was it the right hand?
196
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,283
Jerry!
197
00:11:49,372 --> 00:11:52,842
Sorry! Maybe you should step down
if you're as obsessed as he says.
198
00:11:52,923 --> 00:11:56,052
I will stay right where I am! Thank you.
199
00:11:56,168 --> 00:11:59,462
Your Honor, Mr. Espenson has
represented me in a very false light�
200
00:11:59,516 --> 00:12:03,725
Kneepad Nellie, your words, Alan,
not right, step down, Your Honor.
201
00:12:03,778 --> 00:12:05,861
Mr. Shore, call your first witness.
202
00:12:05,930 --> 00:12:07,208
Did you say kneepad?
203
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:09,852
Or I will dismiss your motion right now.
204
00:12:09,933 --> 00:12:13,108
She seems upset.
205
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:24,251
It's a real honor to meet you.
206
00:12:24,321 --> 00:12:25,948
I'm sure it is.
207
00:12:26,041 --> 00:12:30,441
I can only imagine, thinking back when
I was a kid starting out in the practice of law�
208
00:12:30,454 --> 00:12:33,654
if I had met someone like me. Wow!
209
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,530
Yes, yes.
210
00:12:35,809 --> 00:12:36,964
So?
211
00:12:41,294 --> 00:12:43,294
Who do you like for President?
212
00:12:43,308 --> 00:12:48,035
Uh. Well, I think I would have to learn more
about all of the candidates before I could�
213
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:50,742
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you had to
vote today, who do you like?
214
00:12:50,742 --> 00:12:53,118
That's kind of a personal question, sir.
215
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:56,120
Oh, come on. We're talking about public office.
216
00:12:56,344 --> 00:12:59,244
We keep our public opinions personal,
does that make sense to you?
217
00:12:59,256 --> 00:13:00,179
Well, who do you like?
218
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,242
Jeb.
219
00:13:02,671 --> 00:13:04,298
I don't believe he's running, sir.
220
00:13:04,342 --> 00:13:06,590
Oh he will.
221
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:09,680
Last twenty years, there's been
two families in the White House.
222
00:13:09,693 --> 00:13:12,493
The Bushes and the Clintons. That's the way it is.
223
00:13:12,558 --> 00:13:15,758
We like our dynasties here.
It's the closest thing to having a king.
224
00:13:15,788 --> 00:13:20,088
Which we need if we wanna keep attacking foreign
countries against the will of the American people.
225
00:13:20,124 --> 00:13:26,024
Two families. That leaves Hillary and Jeb.
And if it's Hillary, you don't work here, bub.
226
00:13:26,064 --> 00:13:30,143
Well, if working here is conditioned on aligning myself
227
00:13:30,195 --> 00:13:32,095
with either a candidate or a political party,
228
00:13:32,114 --> 00:13:33,910
then I don't wanna work here.
229
00:13:34,007 --> 00:13:34,836
Atta boy!
230
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:39,510
I like a man who puts himself out on a
limb to avoid answering a question.
231
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:42,019
'Course, that makes you a Democrat.
232
00:13:42,103 --> 00:13:44,903
You drink? We like to drink around here.
233
00:13:47,665 --> 00:13:49,759
I'm not a prude. I'm really not.
234
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:55,763
You don't have to tell me, I'm�Then.
Please continue.
235
00:13:55,784 --> 00:13:58,271
Wait, wait, wait.
You've been with her?
236
00:13:58,324 --> 00:14:00,945
Your Honor, that's� really irrelevant.
237
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,718
I find it's easier to keep track of
the girls he hasn't been with.
238
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:06,048
Do you mind?
239
00:14:08,883 --> 00:14:11,073
Ms. Kent. Please continue.
240
00:14:11,073 --> 00:14:14,049
It's just these dolls are so overtly sexual.
241
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,160
To market them to children�
242
00:14:15,624 --> 00:14:16,624
That one is actually wearing a lace thong.
243
00:14:21,934 --> 00:14:26,198
But, Ms. Kent, you must admit this
would present quite a slippery slope.
244
00:14:26,268 --> 00:14:30,368
There are many products in today's society,
be they music, clothing, videos�
245
00:14:30,372 --> 00:14:34,672
that are much more overtly sexual.
246
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,296
Most of those are aimed at teenagers.
247
00:14:37,364 --> 00:14:38,364
These dolls are more for girls in elementary school.
248
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:42,579
Read what's on the box, "She knows how to flaunt it."
249
00:14:42,673 --> 00:14:46,473
They're prostitots.
And they're selling them in a toy store.
250
00:14:46,494 --> 00:14:52,194
In your deposition you stated that your
daughter watched The Kids' Choice Awards?
251
00:14:52,239 --> 00:14:52,910
Yes.
252
00:14:52,947 --> 00:14:54,133
I see they nominated Eminem.
253
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:59,476
Funny, his CD's are labeled 'parental
advisory, lyrics not suitable for kids.'
254
00:14:59,537 --> 00:15:02,031
I don't let her listen to or watch Eminem.
255
00:15:02,050 --> 00:15:04,389
Oh, just the channels that glorify his lyrics?
256
00:15:04,481 --> 00:15:07,569
Objection, Counsel is putting lyrics in my client's mouth.
257
00:15:07,569 --> 00:15:08,440
Good one, Al.
258
00:15:08,517 --> 00:15:09,517
I see you wear clothes by Abernathy and
Crotch, or whatever that's called.
259
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,365
I assume you mean�
260
00:15:13,425 --> 00:15:15,648
Your daughter ever go in the store
with you when you shop there?
261
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:16,253
She has.
262
00:15:16,308 --> 00:15:19,762
She see the t-shirts made for ten-year-olds
with 'Eye Candy' written on the front?
263
00:15:19,841 --> 00:15:22,741
Or the other tshirt that says,
"Who need brains when I got these?"
264
00:15:22,806 --> 00:15:24,682
I would not let her wear that.
265
00:15:24,685 --> 00:15:27,384
How 'bout all the sex on television,--
266
00:15:27,762 --> 00:15:28,696
I don't like it.
267
00:15:28,778 --> 00:15:34,863
I read where music videos now contain
ninety-three sexual situations per hour.
268
00:15:34,863 --> 00:15:37,263
Your daughter ever watch music videos?
269
00:15:37,285 --> 00:15:39,604
Sometimes, I try to monitor what she watches-
270
00:15:39,769 --> 00:15:40,864
But not what she plays with?
271
00:15:40,906 --> 00:15:44,203
Got it. So I take it you don't have "Grand Theft Auto"
272
00:15:44,203 --> 00:15:47,803
that video game where they had the players
simulate sex acts with prostitutes?
273
00:15:47,889 --> 00:15:49,193
We do not have that game.
274
00:15:49,210 --> 00:15:51,441
But they sold it at Fletcher's, why not
sue for that while you're at it?
275
00:15:51,467 --> 00:15:51,934
Objection.
276
00:15:51,934 --> 00:15:52,905
Wha, wha, wha, what?
277
00:15:52,944 --> 00:15:56,688
You, Jerry. You. Your whole� demeanor.
278
00:15:56,860 --> 00:16:01,060
Your Honor, in the absence of a case he's
attacking the witness personally.
279
00:16:01,484 --> 00:16:03,134
Objection overruled.
280
00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:08,851
You ever watch that show about the
horny housewives? Lotta sex there, I tell ya.
281
00:16:08,906 --> 00:16:11,646
I watch it, but I wouldn't let my six-year-old watch.
282
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:15,000
She might like it, it's one of the top twenty
shows with children age two to eleven.
283
00:16:15,165 --> 00:16:17,501
Can't believe a mother hasn't sued for that.
284
00:16:17,501 --> 00:16:20,309
Your Honor, this mocking tone is entirely inappropriate-
285
00:16:20,371 --> 00:16:22,585
Ooh, Sorry. I'll go into rehab.
286
00:16:22,643 --> 00:16:26,235
Did you ever take your daughter to a
psychologist after she played with these dolls?
287
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:27,161
No.
288
00:16:27,161 --> 00:16:29,806
So she really hasn't been that harmed, in your opinion.
289
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:31,905
I can only hope not.
290
00:16:31,926 --> 00:16:34,001
Thanks much.
291
00:16:42,582 --> 00:16:45,070
Your Honor, I'd like to call an expert witness to testify
292
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:50,570
as to how the proliferation of sexual content
in the marketplace is having an adverse effect,--
293
00:16:50,806 --> 00:16:52,352
Speculation, Al, you're better than that.
294
00:16:52,985 --> 00:16:54,408
Sustained.
295
00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:56,428
Certainly I'm allowed to explore the negative impact-
296
00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:01,604
No! Your client just testified that she doesn't
think her daughter was actually harmed.
297
00:17:01,659 --> 00:17:06,763
Only because I've been able to fend off the
assault so far, but if things start getting worse�
298
00:17:06,810 --> 00:17:09,473
This is not moot court, Ms. Kent.
299
00:17:09,555 --> 00:17:11,745
Your Honor, may I see you in chambers?
300
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:14,946
Here we go.
He told me he'd play this card.
301
00:17:14,970 --> 00:17:18,236
Jerry!
302
00:17:18,585 --> 00:17:20,585
Your Honor? Chambers.
303
00:17:20,616 --> 00:17:24,955
It'll be at your own risk, Mr. Shore.
Let's go.
304
00:17:28,635 --> 00:17:31,719
Jerry. Watch out. You just might win this case.
305
00:17:31,786 --> 00:17:35,686
Don't have it be because you've turned
into this terrible, horrible person.
306
00:17:36,964 --> 00:17:38,402
Is that all you got?
307
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:40,170
You wanna call me the bumbling
guy with Asperger's again?
308
00:17:40,243 --> 00:17:41,243
Bring it on, Al.
309
00:17:48,778 --> 00:17:53,244
Okay. First, I never said to opposing
counsel any of the things he attributed�
310
00:17:53,296 --> 00:17:54,340
How'd he know then?
311
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:55,709
I indicated in court�
312
00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:58,560
No, no, no. No.
You said we were friends.
313
00:17:58,614 --> 00:18:01,041
Well, he just�
314
00:18:01,043 --> 00:18:08,801
Made an educated guess?
How many judges have you slept with, Alan?
315
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:14,341
Something tells me I'm not going to be able
to provide any satisfactory response here.
316
00:18:14,346 --> 00:18:20,346
Maybe his guess went to your sexual esprit, that would�
317
00:18:20,891 --> 00:18:26,223
Perhaps we should ask a different question.
Why didn't you call?
318
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,391
What?
319
00:18:27,449 --> 00:18:29,206
Well, after we made love. Right here.
320
00:18:29,235 --> 00:18:34,135
Why didn't you call?
Was I just a hit and run number to you?
321
00:18:34,147 --> 00:18:37,104
Suddenly it smells like high school.
322
00:18:37,341 --> 00:18:39,729
Why.didn't.you.call?
323
00:18:39,787 --> 00:18:42,177
Well I suppose I could ask, why didn't you call?
324
00:18:42,192 --> 00:18:50,219
You could. And my answer would
be I did. Twice. Both went unreturned.
325
00:18:50,591 --> 00:18:52,057
Oh.
326
00:18:52,057 --> 00:18:53,205
Hm.
327
00:18:53,205 --> 00:18:54,415
Your Honor.
328
00:18:54,426 --> 00:18:55,426
One would hope that you wouldn't let your
329
00:18:55,427 --> 00:19:01,027
personal discomfort with me
affect your professional objectivity.
330
00:19:01,441 --> 00:19:02,306
One would hope.
331
00:19:04,189 --> 00:19:06,855
This not going well at all.
332
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,476
I assure you, we don't all like to drink.
333
00:19:20,290 --> 00:19:21,260
Nor are we all Republicans.
334
00:19:21,681 --> 00:19:26,335
Look. I am not offering this as a form
of a complaint so much as� well�
335
00:19:26,406 --> 00:19:29,406
I'm resigning myself to the fact
that Denny Crane did not like me.
336
00:19:32,158 --> 00:19:34,169
Even if that were true, which I doubt,
337
00:19:34,169 --> 00:19:38,869
we are not an autocracy here, not
withstanding Denny's great affection for kings.
338
00:19:38,988 --> 00:19:41,126
Someone's talking about me?
My back was itching.
339
00:19:41,152 --> 00:19:46,897
Denny. Mr. Givens is under the impression
that his interview with you didn't go well.
340
00:19:46,921 --> 00:19:50,031
Oh, don't be silly. Man's a keeper.
Smart. Good-looking. Articulate. I like him.
341
00:19:56,837 --> 00:19:57,745
There you go.
342
00:19:57,755 --> 00:20:01,781
May I ask�? When you say "articulate"�
343
00:20:01,805 --> 00:20:02,805
I would imagine almost everyone who
comes out of law school is articulate.
344
00:20:06,644 --> 00:20:10,828
Yeah, but� uh�you know what I mean.
345
00:20:10,891 --> 00:20:13,974
I don't, actually.
346
00:20:14,035 --> 00:20:17,252
Well, I mean it like, ah� Joe Biden meant it.
347
00:20:17,922 --> 00:20:22,422
The way they mean it when they say
Condi Rice is soooo articulate. That way.
348
00:20:24,346 --> 00:20:25,899
But I still don't know what you mean.
349
00:20:27,907 --> 00:20:30,967
You don't sound black!
350
00:20:37,995 --> 00:20:43,195
To say we are trying to influence
our culture, it's ridiculous.
351
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:45,366
And would not make good business sense, by the way.
352
00:20:45,379 --> 00:20:46,740
So what are you doing with these dolls?
353
00:20:46,953 --> 00:20:49,820
We are recognizing a market and trying to compete in it.
354
00:20:49,820 --> 00:20:51,920
Not all kids wanna play with Barbies anymore.
355
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:54,159
Girls are becoming more sophisticated.
356
00:20:54,239 --> 00:20:59,239
They wanna be more like their grown up sisters,
or the characters they watch on television.
357
00:20:59,314 --> 00:21:04,514
Teenagers who wear make-up,
low-cut jeans, and yes, cropped mini-skirts.
358
00:21:04,682 --> 00:21:08,182
That's what they're being exposed
to by the media, including on kids
359
00:21:08,195 --> 00:21:11,345
programming. And that's what they're
now looking for with their dolls.
360
00:21:11,943 --> 00:21:14,051
They might want beer, too.
Doesn't mean we should sell it to them.
361
00:21:16,014 --> 00:21:17,813
There are laws against selling them alcohol.
362
00:21:17,837 --> 00:21:20,137
There's nothing illegal about our dolls.
363
00:21:20,214 --> 00:21:23,736
There's a marketing term called
"age compression," are you familiar with it, sir?
364
00:21:23,904 --> 00:21:25,981
Yes. It's a strategy, we all use it.
365
00:21:25,981 --> 00:21:29,581
It allows our younger buyers to explore their more grown-up interests.
366
00:21:29,626 --> 00:21:31,757
You mean, you push adult products on children?
367
00:21:31,911 --> 00:21:35,646
Objection, he uses "push" to make
it sound like drug dealers!
368
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:36,794
He's a tricky little devil.
369
00:21:37,918 --> 00:21:40,918
Mr. Espenson, please sit down.
370
00:21:46,757 --> 00:21:48,710
Sometimes it is like drug-dealing, isn't it, Mr. Costello?
371
00:21:49,867 --> 00:21:54,167
Like those energy drinks which contain
massive amounts of caffeine, aimed at kids-
372
00:21:54,181 --> 00:21:55,851
We do not sell those products.
373
00:21:55,851 --> 00:21:57,381
No, you sell the little hooker dolls.
374
00:21:57,743 --> 00:21:58,690
Objection.
375
00:21:58,774 --> 00:22:00,253
Sustained.
376
00:22:00,303 --> 00:22:02,238
Though you may not wanna recognize it, Mr. Shore,
377
00:22:02,239 --> 00:22:07,439
children, especially girls, are abandoning
their traditional toys at an earlier age.
378
00:22:07,454 --> 00:22:11,043
While many of them are running
around with cell phones and iPods,
379
00:22:11,043 --> 00:22:13,943
we must keep up with their growing sophistication.
380
00:22:14,495 --> 00:22:15,634
With the little hooker dolls.
381
00:22:15,677 --> 00:22:19,137
Objection! Sleazy! C'mon, Al! Buddy!
382
00:22:20,313 --> 00:22:23,779
Are you aware of studies, sir, linking the sexualization
383
00:22:23,856 --> 00:22:27,656
of minors with eating disorders, low selfesteem, depression?
384
00:22:27,773 --> 00:22:29,837
There have been no studies specifically linking these dolls
385
00:22:29,966 --> 00:22:34,366
with any of those disorders, but hey, don't let the facts get in your way, bud.
386
00:22:34,450 --> 00:22:35,405
Your Honor-
387
00:22:35,458 --> 00:22:38,722
Sleazy Al, gotta love him.
388
00:22:49,597 --> 00:22:50,676
What have I done now?
389
00:22:50,684 --> 00:22:52,565
"He doesn't sound black?"
390
00:22:52,629 --> 00:22:55,160
Well, he doesn't. Not to me. Does he to you?
391
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:58,301
Denny, you truly are not aware of what a racist statement that is?
392
00:22:58,393 --> 00:23:02,817
Oh, please! Bush and Biden said the same thing about Obama.
393
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:03,885
Not like that, they didn't!
394
00:23:03,934 --> 00:23:10,280
Did too. They said, "Articulate."
And Biden said, "His hygiene looked good."
395
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:14,408
Denny. There's no such thing as, "sounding black."
396
00:23:14,409 --> 00:23:15,191
What do you mean?
397
00:23:15,222 --> 00:23:18,037
Certainly you don't think all black people sound alike?
398
00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:19,445
Well, of course not.
399
00:23:19,511 --> 00:23:22,311
The anchors on the news don't sound black at all.
400
00:23:22,392 --> 00:23:25,692
And the black weathermen sound whiter than me.
401
00:23:28,317 --> 00:23:32,517
It's politically incorrect to say somebody sounds black.
402
00:23:32,654 --> 00:23:34,382
Alright, then African-American, I don't care.
403
00:23:34,442 --> 00:23:34,749
No.
404
00:23:34,766 --> 00:23:35,446
Jesse Jacksonish?
405
00:23:35,538 --> 00:23:36,174
No!
406
00:23:36,186 --> 00:23:38,087
Well then how? What! What do you say?
407
00:23:38,118 --> 00:23:41,218
If a person sounds black, what's the right way to say it?
408
00:23:44,347 --> 00:23:46,114
Urban.
409
00:23:46,122 --> 00:23:48,317
White people don't live in cities?
410
00:23:48,388 --> 00:23:53,402
Look. There's no such thing as, 'sounding black.'
411
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:54,844
Denny!
412
00:23:54,884 --> 00:24:05,984
The point is, while there may be certain dialects
that are consistent with African- American vernacular�
413
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:12,014
You just cannot judge a man's skin color by the sound of his voice.
414
00:24:12,109 --> 00:24:13,041
Is this a joke?
415
00:24:13,043 --> 00:24:16,842
No, it is not! You have committed an egregious offense here!
416
00:24:17,307 --> 00:24:19,427
Alright! Let me, let me get this straight.
417
00:24:19,502 --> 00:24:23,002
Say you get kidnapped and I get
a ransom call from a man who,
418
00:24:23,044 --> 00:24:25,544
to me, sounds black, and the cops says,
419
00:24:25,563 --> 00:24:30,863
"What'd he sound like?" I should just say, "Male" or?
420
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,520
"I don't know, but not necessarily black."
421
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:48,049
Authorities have arrested a suspect in a Brookline shooting
422
00:24:48,049 --> 00:24:49,949
that left a local man in serious condition�
423
00:24:50,007 --> 00:24:52,683
He's kicking my ass again.
424
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:53,503
Who?
425
00:24:53,507 --> 00:24:58,118
Jerry.
And this time I'm not sure how to unravel him.
426
00:24:58,173 --> 00:24:59,173
He actually seems to have my number.
427
00:25:00,115 --> 00:25:02,836
I had a dream last night about one of those dolls.
428
00:25:02,866 --> 00:25:05,366
They pitched a tent right in my bed. It was lovely.
429
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,557
I hate losing. It really makes me grumpy.
430
00:25:07,807 --> 00:25:10,162
Meanwhile, it seems the law firm of Crane, Poole and Schmidt
431
00:25:10,172 --> 00:25:13,272
wants its black attorneys to sound white.
432
00:25:13,347 --> 00:25:15,747
According to Kevin Givens, a law school candidate
433
00:25:15,827 --> 00:25:20,627
who interviewed at the firm, Denny
Crane himself broke the news to him.
434
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:24,024
He actually complimented me,
saying, "You don't sound black."
435
00:25:24,121 --> 00:25:27,035
Ahhh!
436
00:25:27,613 --> 00:25:34,647
Every station has run with it.
We need to respond to this, Shirley.
437
00:25:34,740 --> 00:25:36,254
I take it you've seen the news.
438
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:37,258
Yes, Marshall.
439
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,341
This is the last straw.
440
00:25:38,361 --> 00:25:39,161
He needs to be removed.
441
00:25:39,192 --> 00:25:44,792
We scheduled an emergency meeting of
the administrative partners for twelve o'clock.
442
00:25:46,098 --> 00:25:50,123
I don't know if we can save him this time.
443
00:25:50,528 --> 00:25:52,182
Let's call a press conference.
444
00:25:52,266 --> 00:25:53,602
What?
445
00:25:53,632 --> 00:25:56,335
Like you say, we need to respond.
446
00:25:56,410 --> 00:25:57,410
Let's call a news conference.
447
00:26:02,222 --> 00:26:05,245
We all know sex sells in this country.
448
00:26:05,270 --> 00:26:08,370
Be it in magazines, movies, television.
449
00:26:08,421 --> 00:26:12,252
With the exception of course being family-oriented fare like
450
00:26:12,274 --> 00:26:14,974
the Super Bowl where, I guess, nudity has no place
451
00:26:15,001 --> 00:26:17,100
amongst the mud-wrestling beer commercials
452
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,400
or the ads for erectile dysfunction.
453
00:26:18,492 --> 00:26:22,992
But aside from that we as a nation heartily embrace sex,
454
00:26:23,023 --> 00:26:26,723
and all things sexual, as a very effective means to an end,
455
00:26:26,808 --> 00:26:30,308
and sometimes the end is to sell a truck and
sometimes it's to impeach a president,
456
00:26:30,364 --> 00:26:32,764
or to get you to buy a ticket or to just tune in.
457
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,380
But in the end, we as a nation are obsessed with sex,
458
00:26:36,417 --> 00:26:39,617
there's either too much of it or we simply can't get enough.
459
00:26:39,713 --> 00:26:43,413
And personally, well, Your Honor knows I'm a fan.
460
00:26:43,458 --> 00:26:46,058
Even when I watch the news the more sordid, the better.
461
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:49,270
Sex triangles in space. Anna Nicole.
462
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:53,800
Never mind a little war in Iraq, we wanna know
who the father of that woman's child is.
463
00:26:53,861 --> 00:26:55,361
After all, she posed naked in Playboy!
464
00:26:55,423 --> 00:26:57,723
Mr. Shore! The case at hand. Please!
465
00:26:57,787 --> 00:26:59,411
The case at hand.
466
00:26:59,501 --> 00:27:01,401
What makes this case different, Your Honor,
467
00:27:01,490 --> 00:27:06,090
is that with these little prostitots
they're celebrating promiscuity,
468
00:27:06,155 --> 00:27:09,043
declaring it's neat to be a trampy little slut.
469
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:11,728
But they're saying it to kids! Children.
470
00:27:11,769 --> 00:27:14,969
My client's daughter is six years old.
471
00:27:15,016 --> 00:27:16,616
She's their targeted consumer.
472
00:27:16,645 --> 00:27:19,845
And for a store or manufacturer to lay it off on,
473
00:27:19,911 --> 00:27:24,311
"Gee! It's today's culture!" is as irresponsible as it is obscene.
474
00:27:24,311 --> 00:27:28,511
Our country may have degenerated to the
point where people like Paris Hilton
475
00:27:28,590 --> 00:27:32,490
can make celebrities of themselves by having rather pedestrian, .
476
00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:34,749
and I must say lackluster, intercourse on the internet!
477
00:27:34,754 --> 00:27:39,854
Or Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan may fuel
their fame with finely waxed crotch shots
478
00:27:39,951 --> 00:27:43,751
and random behavior that's worthy of, well, drug addicts.
479
00:27:43,820 --> 00:27:47,520
But when our culture rewards them for it, or more importantly,
480
00:27:47,569 --> 00:27:50,169
when age compression marketing pushes this whole,
481
00:27:50,182 --> 00:27:55,482
"Lets be a whore" idea on elementary school
children, culture needs an adjustment
482
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:59,386
But until then, lucky for Lindsay and Britney, they have you.
483
00:27:59,433 --> 00:28:01,896
I love your glibness, Jerry, keep it up.
484
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:04,619
Perhaps you can truly distract the Judge from the fact
485
00:28:04,634 --> 00:28:06,834
that when fourth graders feel pressured to wear
486
00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:10,119
belly skimming shirts and low riding jeans,
487
00:28:10,198 --> 00:28:13,698
it's often the first step in a
depressing cycle of preadolescent
488
00:28:13,748 --> 00:28:16,048
and teenage dysfunction that can compromise
489
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:18,685
both their mental and physical health.
490
00:28:18,699 --> 00:28:20,499
But what the hell? The dolls sell!
491
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:00,144
I think these dolls are despicable.
492
00:29:00,188 --> 00:29:03,788
But drawing the line here would strike me as arbitrary.
493
00:29:03,819 --> 00:29:06,119
I mean, what's new?
494
00:29:06,127 --> 00:29:09,427
Twenty-five years ago Madonna rode her sexual,
495
00:29:09,535 --> 00:29:11,535
raunchy, promiscuity to iconic status.
496
00:29:11,566 --> 00:29:14,066
The country, and I believe feminism, celebrated her.
497
00:29:14,102 --> 00:29:16,702
Paris Hilton might have intercourse on the internet,
498
00:29:16,742 --> 00:29:18,742
but our most prominent actresses routinely simulate
499
00:29:19,832 --> 00:29:22,532
sex acts on seventy millimeter at a theatre near you.
500
00:29:22,585 --> 00:29:26,885
Sometimes they get Oscars for it.
501
00:29:26,938 --> 00:29:31,738
I suppose you could draw the line with these dolls,
502
00:29:31,836 --> 00:29:35,536
but how about the clothing stores that
503
00:29:35,547 --> 00:29:38,647
sell sweat pants with "Juicy" on the butts?
504
00:29:38,657 --> 00:29:40,957
What about the t-shirts that say, "Do me"?
505
00:29:41,013 --> 00:29:44,413
What about the sexually explicit music videos
506
00:29:44,418 --> 00:29:46,518
and television shows that target the tweens.
507
00:29:46,575 --> 00:29:49,875
And if we really wanna crack down
on the sexualization of our minors,
508
00:29:49,908 --> 00:29:52,108
we might consider their role models.
509
00:29:52,155 --> 00:29:55,555
Our female CEOs and lawyers and doctors,
510
00:29:55,625 --> 00:29:58,525
women of real power who routinely get boob jobs
511
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,800
just to feel better about themselves.
512
00:30:00,845 --> 00:30:02,245
And what about the mothers, many of whom
513
00:30:02,291 --> 00:30:05,291
wear the low-cut jeans and the midriffs?
514
00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:07,758
How dare he?
515
00:30:09,795 --> 00:30:11,924
Are you a parent, Mr. Espenson?
516
00:30:11,975 --> 00:30:13,982
No, Your Honor.
517
00:30:14,057 --> 00:30:17,857
It is my most profound hope that one day I shall be.
518
00:30:17,979 --> 00:30:21,834
Do you think that you would stand before me as a father
519
00:30:21,944 --> 00:30:26,344
of a young girl and say that these dolls don't trouble you?
520
00:30:26,368 --> 00:30:28,249
No.
521
00:30:28,249 --> 00:30:30,049
They bother me now.
522
00:30:30,140 --> 00:30:32,140
But it's nothing new.
523
00:30:32,218 --> 00:30:34,018
We're always gonna worry about our kids,
524
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480
thinking in today's world they've got no chance.
525
00:30:36,507 --> 00:30:39,407
But the reality is, Your Honor, rates of teenage drinking,
526
00:30:40,494 --> 00:30:42,294
smoking and drug use are declining.
527
00:30:42,312 --> 00:30:45,212
Teen pregnancy rates are down thirty-five percent from 1990,
528
00:30:45,258 --> 00:30:47,158
many teens are abstaining from sex.
529
00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:51,510
And most see Britney Spears and
Lindsay Lohan for exactly what they are.
530
00:30:51,527 --> 00:30:55,327
Young woman now earn fifty-seven percent of all Bachelor's degrees,
531
00:30:55,415 --> 00:30:57,215
fifty-nine percent of all Master's degrees.
532
00:30:57,277 --> 00:30:59,077
Congress now has ninety female members,
533
00:30:59,086 --> 00:31:02,286
including the Speaker of the House.
534
00:31:02,291 --> 00:31:04,591
I don't think we're doomed, just yet.
535
00:31:04,651 --> 00:31:06,351
And should doom ever come,
536
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,760
I doubt very much it will be brought about by a doll.
537
00:31:28,316 --> 00:31:29,720
Shirley.
538
00:31:29,743 --> 00:31:30,743
What's going on?
539
00:31:30,883 --> 00:31:32,583
What are all the managing partners doing in there?
540
00:31:32,586 --> 00:31:34,675
We're about to have a meeting.
541
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,712
Why wasn't I notified?
542
00:31:35,805 --> 00:31:37,081
Because you're not invited.
543
00:31:37,124 --> 00:31:38,118
But I have a right to be in there.
544
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:39,762
And don't tell me this doesn't involve me.
545
00:31:39,807 --> 00:31:40,807
I'm a named partner!
546
00:31:40,999 --> 00:31:43,089
It very much involves you, Denny,
and you're not invited.
547
00:31:51,112 --> 00:31:52,021
Alright. What?
548
00:31:52,021 --> 00:31:53,198
Shirley. It's time.
549
00:31:53,259 --> 00:31:55,159
This will be a media storm we won't weather.
550
00:31:55,191 --> 00:31:57,170
I'm meeting with the press this afternoon.
551
00:31:57,170 --> 00:31:59,771
It can't wait.
Denny needs to be removed now! Or�
552
00:31:59,783 --> 00:32:03,961
All in favor of Denny being removed
say, "Aye." Show of hands.
553
00:32:07,639 --> 00:32:10,257
The 'Nays' have it.
554
00:32:30,921 --> 00:32:36,660
What the�
555
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:37,830
Do you see what's going on out there?
556
00:32:37,916 --> 00:32:38,877
Has it started?
557
00:32:38,945 --> 00:32:41,195
No. But it's a circus.
558
00:32:41,195 --> 00:32:43,091
Brad, can I talk to you for a second?
559
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:44,037
Oh, oh.
560
00:32:44,063 --> 00:32:47,540
Uhm. Do you think it's safe for me to go out there?
561
00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:50,296
Denny, unless you have a good
disguise, I'm going to guess, no!
562
00:32:50,688 --> 00:32:52,605
But they'll be talking about me.
563
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:02,907
So, what do you wanna talk about?
564
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:06,964
Um.
565
00:33:07,049 --> 00:33:12,649
I have occasioned myself to
ask whether I really love you.
566
00:33:12,679 --> 00:33:14,779
Deeply enough to marry you.
567
00:33:14,827 --> 00:33:19,527
More simply put, "Would I marry you
if we weren't having a child together?"
568
00:33:20,945 --> 00:33:26,645
Part of it may be because I
have a tendency to look at you
569
00:33:26,712 --> 00:33:28,212
through other people's eyes
570
00:33:28,232 --> 00:33:32,132
and see you as this giant goofhead.
571
00:33:32,194 --> 00:33:36,694
But when I look at you through my eyes only,
572
00:33:36,718 --> 00:33:42,518
and my heart, I realize�I do love you!
573
00:33:42,577 --> 00:33:44,577
Quite deeply.
574
00:33:44,651 --> 00:33:48,351
And I can't wait to be your wife.
575
00:33:49,969 --> 00:33:52,169
That's all I wanna say.
576
00:33:52,608 --> 00:33:55,098
That is the best thing that anyone
577
00:33:55,099 --> 00:33:57,499
has ever said to me in my entire life.
578
00:33:57,511 --> 00:34:00,211
Including my Gunnery Sargent,
579
00:34:00,298 --> 00:34:02,498
all my Little League coaches�Just..
580
00:34:22,169 --> 00:34:24,054
My name is Shirley Schmidt,
581
00:34:24,131 --> 00:34:26,931
I'm a senior partner at Crane, Poole and Schmidt,
582
00:34:26,996 --> 00:34:28,896
thank you all for coming.
583
00:34:28,982 --> 00:34:32,582
It's nice to see you'll turn out
when there's hard news.
584
00:34:32,606 --> 00:34:34,606
Yesterday my partner, Denny Crane,
585
00:34:34,610 --> 00:34:36,710
made some regrettable statements,
586
00:34:36,890 --> 00:34:39,390
the most offensive being when he told an
587
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,380
African-American law student that he didn't sound black.
588
00:34:43,450 --> 00:34:44,950
I know Denny Crane.
589
00:34:45,001 --> 00:34:46,501
He is not a bigot.
590
00:34:46,587 --> 00:34:48,787
When he used the word 'articulate',
591
00:34:48,810 --> 00:34:51,610
as I suspect Joe Biden used it,
592
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,040
as I suspect our President used it,
593
00:34:55,086 --> 00:34:56,886
what he was attempting to convey
594
00:34:56,984 --> 00:35:00,184
was that he thought Mr. Givens would play well
595
00:35:00,256 --> 00:35:02,756
with white corporate America.
596
00:35:02,799 --> 00:35:06,699
The simple but ugly truth is we all look for that.
597
00:35:06,893 --> 00:35:10,693
Perhaps unconsciously, perhaps not, but we do.
598
00:35:10,694 --> 00:35:13,194
We have a primarily white client base.
599
00:35:13,265 --> 00:35:17,265
We hire associates we feel will best appeal to that base.
600
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:19,640
Before you point your finger at us
601
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,780
I would invite the media to look at its own industry.
602
00:35:22,842 --> 00:35:26,142
Consider the criteria by which you choose your anchors.
603
00:35:26,188 --> 00:35:29,188
Denny Crane's statement speaks not to his own racism
604
00:35:29,237 --> 00:35:33,237
but to a much more insidious one that exists in a
605
00:35:33,252 --> 00:35:35,885
white collar society that prefers
606
00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:39,380
to take its blacks as it takes its coffee,
607
00:35:39,423 --> 00:35:42,223
with a little cream and sugar.
608
00:35:42,298 --> 00:35:43,698
I'm not proud of it.
609
00:35:43,785 --> 00:35:46,285
But until we confront that truth,
610
00:35:46,363 --> 00:35:47,963
we will not change it.
611
00:35:48,023 --> 00:35:49,423
Thank you all for coming.
612
00:36:03,813 --> 00:36:06,126
I hate the dolls.
613
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:09,066
But do they offend the sensibilities of our society?
614
00:36:09,127 --> 00:36:11,927
One that broadcasts reality shows about trading wives.
615
00:36:12,010 --> 00:36:14,610
One where the average child hears
616
00:36:14,697 --> 00:36:16,397
about erectile dysfunction before
617
00:36:16,399 --> 00:36:18,399
he's heard of Christopher Columbus.
618
00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:19,293
Your Honor.
619
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,080
This ruling is not going at all well, so far.
620
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,180
One can only assume this
621
00:36:23,209 --> 00:36:25,601
preamble is a misdirect to add
622
00:36:25,622 --> 00:36:27,322
suspense to your ultimate decision
623
00:36:27,366 --> 00:36:30,658
which I know will be more just.
624
00:36:30,658 --> 00:36:32,402
You lose, Counsel.
625
00:36:32,433 --> 00:36:34,933
But I do hope you won't let your
626
00:36:34,973 --> 00:36:36,373
professional discomfiture with me
627
00:36:36,459 --> 00:36:38,459
affect your personal feelings.
628
00:36:38,536 --> 00:36:40,162
I'll try not to.
629
00:36:40,162 --> 00:36:43,120
Motion to dismiss, granted.
630
00:36:43,161 --> 00:36:44,424
I'm sorry, Kaye.
631
00:36:44,468 --> 00:36:46,368
You knew this was most likely a loser, but...
632
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:47,404
You tried.
633
00:36:47,424 --> 00:36:48,224
And I thank you for that.
634
00:36:48,294 --> 00:36:50,124
If it's any consolation,
635
00:36:50,173 --> 00:36:51,873
children are still the most
influenced by their parents,
636
00:36:51,959 --> 00:36:54,159
and your daughter seems to
be in very good hands there.
637
00:36:54,251 --> 00:36:57,401
Thank you..
638
00:37:00,096 --> 00:37:04,045
Jerry.
639
00:37:04,383 --> 00:37:06,283
I must tell you,
640
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:09,425
that man with the wooden cigarette in his mouth
641
00:37:09,462 --> 00:37:13,762
was brilliant.
642
00:37:13,819 --> 00:37:17,519
He might alienate a few juries along the way.
643
00:37:17,521 --> 00:37:22,021
The man who gave the closing, however, is perhaps
644
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,592
one of the finest lawyers I've ever been up against.
645
00:37:28,622 --> 00:37:30,836
Thank you.
646
00:37:30,942 --> 00:37:32,342
And for what it's worth,
647
00:37:32,388 --> 00:37:36,395
the man who gave the closing,
648
00:37:36,446 --> 00:37:41,046
I miss him, terribly.
649
00:37:41,081 --> 00:37:42,581
If you could see your way past�
650
00:37:42,664 --> 00:37:43,829
Okay.
651
00:37:43,989 --> 00:37:46,659
Just like that? Okay.
652
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:48,980
I miss you, Alan.
653
00:38:02,070 --> 00:38:05,424
So, he took you back?
654
00:38:05,494 --> 00:38:08,994
I suppose you'll be going over to
his place for a sleepover tonight?
655
00:38:09,049 --> 00:38:10,893
Denny!
656
00:38:10,926 --> 00:38:11,761
And he beat you?
657
00:38:11,847 --> 00:38:14,175
He did.
658
00:38:14,197 --> 00:38:16,039
What's that like?
659
00:38:16,045 --> 00:38:17,245
To lose?
660
00:38:17,282 --> 00:38:19,756
You almost lost in a very big way today, my friend.
661
00:38:19,815 --> 00:38:23,081
Oh, you should have seen Shirley.
662
00:38:23,106 --> 00:38:26,106
If anybody wonders how she got to be Shirley Schmidt,
663
00:38:26,118 --> 00:38:29,218
the evidence was on full display today.
664
00:38:29,284 --> 00:38:32,184
She was as strong and as powerful
665
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:33,766
and as dignified as any woman I've ever seen.
666
00:38:34,856 --> 00:38:40,256
Made me wanna flip her on her
back and have sex with her.
667
00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:42,409
Do you think you're a racist Denny?
668
00:38:42,416 --> 00:38:48,054
Oh� nah, I� I don't know.
669
00:38:48,137 --> 00:38:51,937
Do you think it's racist to say a man sounds black?
670
00:38:52,016 --> 00:38:53,558
I think it's more offensive to say,
671
00:38:53,658 --> 00:38:57,758
'street' or 'urban', when the inference is you mean 'black'.
672
00:38:57,882 --> 00:38:59,991
So, what do you say?
673
00:39:00,055 --> 00:39:02,982
Well, Barack Obama referred to the black sound
674
00:39:03,067 --> 00:39:08,967
as a black idiom, more like jazz and less like a set score.
675
00:39:09,065 --> 00:39:10,534
They let him get away with that?
676
00:39:10,569 --> 00:39:13,987
Evidently.
677
00:39:14,013 --> 00:39:15,586
I might vote for him, you know.
678
00:39:15,627 --> 00:39:16,175
Obama?
679
00:39:16,221 --> 00:39:17,574
"Anybody in America can grow up to be president!"
680
00:39:17,637 --> 00:39:23,137
That's what I say. Except Hillary! She wins, I puke.
681
00:39:23,225 --> 00:39:24,257
Barack Obama.
682
00:39:24,304 --> 00:39:25,834
Ah. Handsome.
683
00:39:25,839 --> 00:39:27,239
Great photo-op.
684
00:39:27,312 --> 00:39:29,512
But I don't know what he stands for.
685
00:39:29,605 --> 00:39:31,105
Be a perfect president.
686
00:39:31,195 --> 00:39:34,195
He speaks perfect white, as well as black.
687
00:39:34,233 --> 00:39:35,633
You never heard me say that.
688
00:39:35,726 --> 00:39:36,720
What about McCain?
689
00:39:36,790 --> 00:39:38,750
He speaks Bush now. Can't win.
690
00:39:38,890 --> 00:39:41,137
Obama is against the war now, you know.
691
00:39:41,193 --> 00:39:44,230
So am I. It's boring.
692
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,420
I'm ready for a new war.
693
00:39:45,504 --> 00:39:46,904
Time to blow up Iran.
694
00:39:46,944 --> 00:39:48,988
They got Sadam.
695
00:39:49,048 --> 00:39:52,548
Now we gotta get uh� Amina Douchebag.
696
00:39:52,631 --> 00:39:55,231
And that nut job in North Korea, they both gotta go.
697
00:39:55,290 --> 00:39:58,590
And not because they're not white.
698
00:39:58,659 --> 00:40:00,817
Okay.
699
00:40:00,887 --> 00:40:02,587
Denny, does it bother you at all
700
00:40:02,588 --> 00:40:06,088
that America is so hated by the rest of the world these days?
701
00:40:06,128 --> 00:40:08,232
Well, of course it does, Alan.
702
00:40:08,327 --> 00:40:10,227
Just can't please everybody.
703
00:40:10,245 --> 00:40:11,345
Better to just�
704
00:40:11,378 --> 00:40:12,064
Blow them up.
705
00:40:12,155 --> 00:40:12,876
Exactly.
706
00:40:12,964 --> 00:40:15,064
And not because they're not white.
707
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,770
