Previously on Ally McBeal.

- Does size really matter?
- [ Both ] No.

- No.
- All I need.

Doesn't it bother you to
sit there naked like that?

I'm only 27, Ally.

That's a little early in life
to be really bothered.

He's cute.
He snowboards.

He's leaving the country
on Sunday.

Ah. Two ships that collide
in the night.

There's a rumor flying around
that, uh, you're going out on some date.

- A man of prowess.
- [ Footsteps ]

- You--
- What is it you see?

A baby.
A baby?

It dances.

I-I don't know what it means.

I-I guess I'm going to have
to whip out my Freud book.

This is about your guilt--

about wanting to do what you
want to do with that model.

- Oh, it is not!
- It is.

Would you stop barging into
my room claiming to know me?

Well, I do know you, and this is
your inhibition...

raising its ugly head,
keeping me awake.

Water, sir?

- Thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.

I hate flying coach.

- You want to switch seats?
- It's okay.

You would think since the client
was paying, we could fly first class.

Well, it's Richard Fish
paying, I guess.

Mm.

- [ Turbulence ]
- [ Passengers Murmuring ]

- What was that?
- I don't know.

[ Man On P.A. ]
Ladies and gentlemen,

we apologize for the bumpiness.

We're experiencing some trouble with one
of our engines.

It should be corrected
momentarily.

- There's no reason to be alarmed, and--
- [ Turbulence ]

[ Passengers Gasping ]
[ Man On P.A. ] What the hell?

- [ Engines Whirring ]
- Stay in your seat. Don't anybody panic.

[ Gasping ]
Oh! Dream. Plane.

- Okay. Calm down, calm down.
- Crash.

Easy. Calm down.
[ Exhales ]

- A plane crash?
- Oh!

Oh, man.
It was so real.

You're just nervous about
that trial about to start.

Oh, God, Renee.
Renee, what a horrible way to go.

- It actually crashed?
- Yeah. Yeah.

And-And-And we were
in water, so--

so somehow I survived, and I-I started
floating to the top in a seat, but--

But Georgia,
she-she didn't make it.

- Georgia didn't survive?
- Uh-uh.

- Dead?
- Yeah.

- [ Laughs ] Oh, my God.
- It isn't funny.

No. I know. It's just--

No, no, no. She got
her head chopped right off.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, you are sick, Renee.
You're sick.

- You killed her.
- Sick!

[ Man ] Can I get a grande
decaf cappuccino, please?

[ Woman ] Yes, sir.

[ Woman #2 ]
Your grande decaf cap.

I just don't want you
to take it personally.

Oh, Ally.
It was a dream.

Even so, on some
unconscious level, I--

- I-I killed you.
- [ Laughs ]

I'm sure it had more
to do with the trial.

I still can't believe
they haven't settled.

Why would the airline really
want to take a--

Oh, I'm so sorry. I--

Glenn.

Ally.

W-Well, you're still here?
You're st-- You're still in the country?

Yeah. Something came up.
I couldn't leave.

Oh.

Gee.

You're looking great.

You too.

[ Grunting ]

Uh, Georgia, Glenn.
Glenn, Georgia.

- We met at-at class. Hi.
- Hi.

So?
[ Chuckles ]

So.

We should go-- go out again,
get together again.

Yeah.
Yeah, wh-why don't we?

- I'll call.
- You do that.

Okay. I'll see you.

He told me he was
leaving the country.

Bastard.

My name is John Cage.

I, along with my colleagues
Ally McBeal and Georgia Thomas,

represent the children
of Joshua Lamb,

a 70-year-old pharmacist who died in the
crash of Transatlantic Flight 111.

We cannot prove what caused
this plane to crash.

Some suggest it was a fuel tank.

Others, a faulty wire.
Truth is, we don't know.

Res ipsa loquitur.

What that means basically is
"the thing speaks for itself."

The plane crashed.
It speaks for itself.

Would you repeat after me?

"Res ipsa loquitur."

- Res ipsa loquitur.
- Objection.

Your Honor, since I will be asking them
to apply this doctrine,

I only want to be satisfied
they're capable of pronouncing it.

All right.

Res ipsa loquitur.

Now, to be sure you didn't
just mimic the sound,

I'd like you to think about it for a few
seconds

and then say it again
when I point.

Res ipsa loquitur.

Excellent.
This jury pleases me.

Ally, what's the harm?
The sex was great.

You didn't ever expect
to see him again.

And now you're mad
because he didn't call?

It's the principle.
He used a line.

He flashed me a little
"gather ye rosebud" look,

and I bit his hook, line
and swallowed his sinker.

- Ally?
- [ Gasps ]

Can I steal a second?
It won't take long.

- Don't you have a plane to catch?
- Renee!

That was weird, huh?
Running into each other?

Yep. Weird.

It wasn't a line. I was planning
to leave the country.

Something
actually did come up.

Fine. Bygones.
Door.

The reason I didn't call--

Ally, you're a lawyer.

We-We have about as much
in common as--

[ Thinking ]
Just give him the chill.

It's okay. Don't worry about it, Glenn.
It's no problem.

[ Wind Howling ]
Look, I may be...

out of line,
but I had this feeling...

that you slept with me because I was
leaving the country.

[ Wind Stops ]

I felt like this cheap
one-night stand.

- You what?
- Let's face it.

I mean, you could have asked
me to stay the night.

We made love in the living room.
I didn't even see your bedroom.

And afterwards, I could read your face:
"It's time for you to go now."

You didn't call me because you felt like
a one-night stand?

- Wasn't I?
- No.

Well, great.
Then let's go out again.

[ Thinking ]
He's tricked me.

[ Georgia ]
You're going out with him again?

Well, after I thought about it, he--
[ Toilet Flushes ]

he sort of had a point.

If I had considered him
boyfriend material,

I would've held him up to
the boyfriend test,

which he would have failed in a second.

But since he's leaving
the country,

I didn't consider
him boyfriend material,

which means I didn't hold him
up to any test,

which means
he didn't fail any test.

So I slept with him.

So,

aside from the--

Meat?

[ Chuckles ]
How-How was he?

Oh, Georgia, believe me,
you have no idea.

Really? Oh--
[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
I didn't mean it that way.

I promise.

We should get back in.

All we know for sure is
that the fuel tank exploded.

Whether it was an electrical fire
or a mechanical failure...

or, well, a supervening act,
we don't know.

And will you learn more about
this crash in time, sir?

No. The F.B.I. study, C.I.A.,
National Transportation Safety Board--

all the studies are in,

- and nothing is conclusive.
- [ Whispering, Indistinct ]

- But you can rule out missile?
- Yes.

- Bomb?
- Yes.

- Lightning?
- Yes.

Mr. Hoverless, as chief investigator
for the N.T.S.B.,

what's your opinion as to what brought
this plane down?

Mechanical failure.

You didn't find any evidence
of mechanical failure, did you?

- No, we did not.
- Any evidence of human error?

No.

Anybody at Transatlantic been
fired or suspended as a result?

No.

As far as the National
Transportation Safety Board...

has determined, nobody here
did anything negligent?

That's correct.

Did you ever claim you were
abducted by aliens?

I had a vivid dream once.
I adjusted my position on the alien thing.

I'd like to put that situation behind me.
That was the '80s.

I was a different person then.
It was a whole lifetime ago.

[ Sighs ]

- They offered zero?
- Zero.

- Zero, as in nothing?
- As in.

Well, what am I missing?

Killed in a plane crash.
Big airline.

- How can it be zero?
- Causation is tough.

The plane crashed!

But the cause of the crash
is unknown.

It had to be the airline's fault.

What's their defense? Missile?
Ricky Jewell?

The burden is on us
to prove negligence.

-Legal liability requires--
-Don't bring the law into this.

Somebody's dead. There's money.

John, speak.

Well, I'm troubled.

A couple of errands?

How-- H-How could you fall like that
coming out of a bathroom stall?

I was hoisting myself
doing some isometrics.

I'm prone to evening blood flow droppage.
Isometrics invigorate me.

But the fall
was an aberration.

I'm typically quite fluid in my dismounts.

Huh.

Well, um, are-are you okay?

Yeah. My body reacts well to crisis.
[ Sniffles ]

- Ally.
- Yes?

I know we're in the throes
of scheduling our first date.

But given
that we're in trial,

I'd feel most comfortable
if we suspended our plans...

until you're finished
with the...

well-endowed model.

Um, being the "juggle-ee"
troubles me.

Well, I understand that.
I-I certainly do.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- Hey.

This Glenn guy--
is it serious?

Who? What? Why?

Glenn.

- He-- No! No, he--
- Are you sleeping with him?

You can't ask me that.

Ally, we're friends.

If you're involved
with somebody,

friends talk about
stuff like that.

Well, we're not involved.
We just met. But you're--

No, no, no. No.
You can't ask me that.

It is enough that we have unisex and we
have to pee in the same room.

You can't ask me that.
No.

So, that's a boundary?

I think it should be, yeah.

Okay.

We combed through that aircraft
piece by piece.

It wasn't static electricity.
It wasn't faulty wiring.

The air conditioning
didn't overheat.

You sound a little annoyed.
The people at my airline--

they have been blamed
for killing people, and they didn't.

There is no evidence of any negligence.
We did nothing wrong.

When a person chooses
his or her air travel,

he or she probably has
various factors to consider.

Where to go--

that would be one of the first
considerations, don't you think?

I suppose.

Business, first class, coach--
another decision to be made.

Yes.

Some people require
special meals.

Yes.

Do any of your customers
inquire, "Will the plane be blowing up?"

[ Spectators Murmuring,
Laughing ]

A case like this,
it's why I started this firm--

to answer the call
to human anguish.

To perhaps make air travel
safer for all people in the process.

Too often today, we hear the adage,
"Law is business."

Well, it is not
just a business to me...

or the other fine attorneys
of this firm.

- It's a calling.
- The defense expects to be--

This case is putting us on the map.
Win or lose, we profit.

- We will win, won't we?
- Richard.

- Deus ex machina.
- Res ipsa loquitur.

And even if we do win,
we have no shot at punitives.

And compensatories
for death of a parent are minuscule.

Ally, the settlement conference.
I want you to be me.

Opposing counsel
has a bead on me.

They're laying in wait for me.
I want you to be me.

Ally, there's a human sundial
here to see you.

Oh, thank you, Elaine.

Mm. "Toosh."

So, what's up?

you might be hungry later.

Um, he will get over it. Ex-boyfriends,

- That's not what I'm worried about.

- Well, then what is it?
- [ Sighs ]

- I think I like him.
- Billy?

Glenn. Glenn. I-I think I might
really like the guy.

Oh, no. This means--
Oh, God!

Ally, you might have to smile.
Come on, Renee.

You know what I mean.
We are complete opposites.

This guy spends his days
sliding down mountains!

Ally, you say you're opposites
like it's a negative.

Suppose you met
somebody just like you.

- Ick.
- Right.

And would you really
want to be with a lawyer?

No. No, I--
But-But I just--

- No, no.

Good looking, good sense of humor,
good father, good sex.

Yes. Yes.

But-But-But what if we don't really
have anything to talk about?

All right.
Ally,

I know that you have this great idealism
about marriage, but--

and please don't shoot the messenger
here--

What?

Married couples, they don't talk.

- They don't?
- No.

During the first year of marriage they do,
but after that--

If you took a jelly bean
and put it into a jar...

every time a couple has
a meaningful discussion...

during the first year
of marriage,

and then after the first year, you took
that jelly bean out of the jar...

every time they talked, experts say the
jar will never become empty.

Experts measure marriages
with jelly beans?

Okay, you don't like that truth.
[ Snaps Fingers ]

Here's another one--
the biggest one.

Let me have it.

So long as he's cute,
smart, sexy and decent,

who cares what else he is?

Because after you marry him, you're
going to spend the rest of your days...

- trying to change him.
- Oh, I--

You're going to re-dress him.
You're going to change his haircut.

You're going to handpick the friends of
his that still get to be his friends.

- I won't do that.
- Oh, don't lie to me, girl.

It's part of
the fun of life--

finding the perfect guy,
then trying to change him.

Mr. Ballard, you've put up
an admirable defense so far.

With the judge-- persuasive.

With the jury?

This might come down...

not to what the jury wants to do,
but what they need to.

And what they need
is to believe...

that airplanes just don't fall out of the
sky for no reason.

They need to believe
it was a screw-up.

- They fly, as do you and I.
- [ Mouthing Words ]

And like you and I,
to them...

the idea that sometimes planes just crash
because they just do--

unacceptable.
[ Mouths Word ]

There has to be a reason. Somebody had to
have made a mistake there.

That had to be a bad plane
or a bad pilot.

'Cause these things--

they just can't happen.
[ Mouths Words ]

They just can't.

Consider what you want,

consider what the jury wants.

And then consider

he or she goes in

that reputation.

- Promiscuity?

Maybe you could make them so obsessed with
safety, they'll hire more mechanics.

Maybe they'll do more testing.

Maybe they'll limit the number of years an
aircraft can fly.

Maybe. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

of obsession could achieve.

You are doing it, baby.

[ Penguin Quacking ]
That's it! That's it!

You are doing it!
That's the penguin, baby!

Bye-bye, penguin!

Whoo!

[ Women Laughing ]

[ Penguin Quacking ]

[ Machine Beeps ]

- She in?
- Yes.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm sorry.

- I had no right to be so--
- Holy?

Holy? I was about to say
I was an ass.

- Yeah. "Ass-holy."
- Ah.

Listen, the reason
I think I overreacted--

I-I think that may be
part of who I am.

My esteem is that
you used to be with me.

And maybe that gets threatened, or I
should say diluted a little,

if you've been
with everybody.

Billy, I haven't been with everybody.
I haven't nearly had time.

Hey, I came here to apologize.

Yeah, and you're good at it.

Men are very good at swooping in with
apologies the day after.

First the pain, and then
the big "sorry" swoop.

What the hell
you talking about?

I'm sick of being a casualty everybody
swings by to apologize to.

- Then I am not sorry. Happy?
- Very.

- Fine.
- Anything else?

No. That's all.

If you think of anything, be
sure to come right back, okay?

I will.

Maybe I'll make a list for you
of all my upcoming dates,

and you can run background checks to save
the firm from embarrassment.

- Bitch.
- Man.

Oh, it's all about blame.

If you get hurt, file a claim,
collect your money.

The idea that a plane
could crash,

that people could be killed,

and an airline could be
held not liable--

Of course they should pay.

If a person gets cancer, there's got to be
a doctor to sue.

If somebody skids in the snow,
go after the government.

They're the ones
with the plows.

Last year, a man's house was
destroyed by hurricane.

It was called an act of God,
so he sued his church.

And he won.

[ Chair Scraping Ground ]

I apologize.

If you get hurt,

there's got to be
a bad guy.

Pain doesn't just happen.

There's got to be
somebody to blame.

- It's like he was talking about me.
- You?

Yeah. He-He--

A plane crashes,
hundreds of people die,

and you find a way
to make it about you.

That's a new record.
I don't mean that.

I mean about blaming everybody
or everything for--

Do I blame other people
for all of my-my woes?

Yes.

No, no, I want you
to think about it, Renee.

I would like
a considered answer.

Do I blame everybody else
for all of my problems?

Yes.

- You didn't think about it.
- I don't--

This is one of the reasons why I probably
push too hard with men,

because I am starved
for communication,

because all I get from my roommate is
unthoughtful, knee-jerk quips.

You just blamed me
for your problems with men.

[ Sighs ]
I did?

Well, you made me.

Never mind.
Never mind. Um--

As usual, you've been
a very big help.

[ Man Chattering ]

Hey. Are we winning?
The jury is out.

But we're winning, right? We're gonna win.
It's a win-win, right?

The jury is still out. If you'll
excuse me. I wanna talk about this.

- Cramps.
- Uh, later.

- Ally--
- Go away.

[ Gasps ]
Glenn is here.

Thank you, Elaine.

- Ally--
- Go!

No, wait. Stay.

All right. I only have time for one
apology scene per life,

so, since you're both here,
I'm sorry.

I know you were in here offering the olive
branch this morning.

I wasn't in the mood to be forgiving,
since I'm still angry at men.

And that was because of you.

And that's why we gave you
the penguin last night.

I'm sorry about that too.

It's just that, I guess,
you hurt me.

Like the lawyer for the airline
said,

"When people get hurt,
they feel the need to blame."

And I was blaming you even though you
didn't do anything wrong.

I was glad you told me
you were leaving the country.

I wouldn't have slept with you
otherwise.

And I really did
want to sleep with you.

And that's hard for me to say
in front of him,

'cause I slept
with him forever.

And I apologize to you both
for that.

Of all the two people to bring together
for a combined apology.

I'm sorry.
You're both really good guys.

It's just that you stung a little 'cause I
looked at you as a "could be."

And you still sting without trying, 'cause
you were a "meant to be."

And this has nothing to do with blame.
I was wrong.

And I am not finished yet, but I need to
breathe. [ Sighs ]

Um, where was I?

You're needed
in the conference room.

Oh.

- 685.
- And that's good?

That's great.

A jury could give us more, but they could
also rule against us.

My advice is to take it.

- No.
- [ Humming ]

Mr. Cage,

when we first came to you, you told us,
emotion aside, this is a case about money,

and we accepted that.

But our father is dead, and we're in here
trying to win a lottery.

We'd like a verdict.
A judgment against that airline.

You might not get it.

- Well, we know that.
- And we apologize.

I know law is a business.
It's your business.

And for us to spring this
on you now is--

Well, I'm sorry.

Mr. Lamb, Mrs. Pierce,
we are your lawyers.

If you want to go to verdict,
we go to verdict.

And you don't have to
convince us of anything,

and you certainly don't
have to apologize.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is what happens when the justice
system gets perverted by a principle.

And you three-- you're
supposed to be lawyers.

It's a lawyer's job to make sure
their decision is an informed one.

- And it was.
- Oh, go take a moment.

[ Knocking ]
That was uncalled for.

Oh, people. There's a certain jury back
with a certain verdict.

Oh!

Richard, are you sure
you can handle this?

Everything happens for a reason,
Georgia-- even lunacy.

We're gonna win... and get even more
than that offer.

- What if we lose?
- I vomit, then dive into it.

I brought my snorkel.

[ Judge ] Has the jury
reached a verdict?

- [ Man ] We have, Your Honor.
- And what say you?

In the matter of Lamb versus
Transatlantic Airlines,

we find in favor
of the plaintiff...

and order the defendant to pay damages in
the amount of $1.1 million.

[ Gasping ]
[ Spectators Murmuring ]

[ Judge ] Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

we thank you
very much for your service.

You're free to go now.
[ Gavel Raps ]

Thank you so much.
Congratulations.

- Congratulations.
- You want the verdict? Souvenir?

Yes, I would.

May-May I, uh,
touch-touch that?

Mm-hmm. Th-Thank you. Th-Thank you. Yeah.

Please don't take it personally.

Here we go. You guys want to toast now
or wait for the others?

- Wait. Hey, you wanna go dance first?
- We could do that.

Do you want me to, uh,
round up a twin?

No.
[ Laughs ]

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Didn't do enough today?

Why? Who you got?

I was kidding.

- [ Chuckles ]
- So, where's Georgia?

Still down there.

Oh. She doesn't mind when you
steal away to come see me?

I wasn't coming to see you.
I... just came up here to get my bag.

Oh.

Well, uh--

Good goin'
with the win today.

Yep. Winning's the thing.

I still get jealous.

I see you with somebody else,
and I get jealous.

That's why I was so--
Well, I--

I-I was so...
because I felt guilty.

Do you believe that?

Being with a guy, and I feel
like I'm betraying you.

Tell me I don't need help.

Yeah, you need help.

Hmm.

But what about me?
I mean, one of these days...

you're gonna
meet somebody...

for real.

[ Chuckles ]

- Night.
- Night.
