Sexaholic?

I found a shrink who will
testify, uncategorically,

that that's what he is--
a sexaholic.

She would like to meet him first.
He's a U.S. senator, Richard.

He's not gonna let us portray him
as a sex addict.

Oh, please.

Politicians love that.
Besides, it could even be true.

I hear they call his penis
the Titanic 'cause over 1,500--

- [ Together ] Richard!
- Bygones.

1We are not gonna win this
by telling the jury he's a sex addict.

This is about one affair which led to
marriage. We don't--

Suppose we offer other
affairs to establish a pattern?

There's no evidence
of any other affairs.

Well, let's get some evidence
so we can argue sexaholic.

[ Together ]
Richard!

Let's just focus. We're all a little
nervous here. Let's calm down.

We should argue
the summary judgment motion.

The Supreme Court
has ruled on that.

They ruled on the president.
It didn't go to senators.

Richard, if the president
can be sued while in office,

we're gonna be hard-pressed
to say that the senator can't.

We should still try.

- Richard.
- Ally.

- Richard.
- John?

♪♪ [ Humming ]

Okay, we have a real
shot on the merits here.

If we go in arguing
a point of law--

That the Supreme Court
has just ruled on--

We'll lose.

And we'll make ourselves
look more desperate.

- Which will hurt our credibility--
- At trial.

Have you two been
passing notes in class?

May I make a suggestion?

The summary judgment argument
is made before the judge alone.

There's no risk in looking
silly before the jury.

Exactly.

There is the risk--
Of alienating the judge.

You go.

If we lose our credibility
with the judge,

it could affect
our chances at trial.

[ John ] Which is why we have
Richard argue it.

With respect to the law,
he has no credibility.

There you go! It's been a while since
I've been into court.

Yes. Good.

[ Cowbell Clinking ]

I can do it. [ Clicks Tongue ]
Good.

[ Chuckling ]

Uh, this is the highest
profile case we ever had.

Media will be
in the room.

Richard is going to stand up
and argue points of law?

[ Exhales ]

[ Bells Ringing ]

Whoa!

John? Isometrics already?
It's morning.

I'm having trouble
with my dismounts.

What are you doing?

Getting ready. I'm actually
gonna argue in court.

I heard the bells. Watch.

[ Exhales ]

[ Cowbell Clinks ]
[ Farts ]

Whoops.
Bygones.

- That doesn't count.
- Don't forget the button.

Excuse me?
On your jacket.

When you first rise,
you button your coat.

- A sign of respect to the judge.
- Right.

It shows you respect him,
you respect his room.

Right.

Then you stand.

You swell with posture.

And then... you go
for the button.

Excellent.
What about the fly?

Wha-- Oh.

[ Fly Zips ]

Big case, Richard.
You sure you're up to it?

I am.
[ Cowbell Clinking ]

Yeah.

Basically, we'll try to get
a stay till after your term.

How? I'm being sued
for breaking up a marriage.

It hardly falls under any kind
of congressional immunity.

Well, Richard thinks that it can
cover personal conduct too,

though I think
it's a long shot.

[ Billy ] It is worth a try. At trial
they'll be getting into how you two met,

possible patterns of courtship,
patterns of sexual activity.

This case is made
for the media.

I still don't understand how this can
really go forward.

Marriages break up all
the time.

Technically, it is a cause of action--
interference with marital relations.

An ex-wife sued her husband's
mistress last year.

The jury awarded her
a million dollars.

Which is why we should take
one last shot to shut it down.

- Okay.
- [ Ally ] It is stupid, really--

one guy suing another guy
because he broke up his marriage.

- It's just an end around no-fault.
- Why is it stupid?

If somebody busts up a marriage,
why shouldn't she take responsibility?

- He.
- Right, he.

You ever been up against her before?
Anna Flint?

- Uh-uh. You?
- No. But they say she's something.

Not that she's necessarily
the greatest lawyer,

but she's supposedly got
this amazing smile,

and juries
just fall in love with her.

- Yeah? Well, I hear she's a bitch.
- Totally.

- Where'd you hear it from?
- I don't remember, but I believe it.

Yeah. Me too. I also hear she tries
to bait opposing attorneys,

- so don't let her get under your skin.
- I won't.

- Ready?
- I hope.

[ Toilet Flushes ]

[ Beeps ]
[ Toilet Flushes ]

Legal memoranda,
coded blue.

Factual outlines,
red.

Discovery pleadings,
hot pink.

And I've also highlighted
certain parts of depositions

that I thought might be helpful.

Okay. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.

The courtroom this way?

- Pretend that you know.
- Right. Shh.

- All set?
- Ready.

- [ Woman ] Yes.
- Ah, there she is.

Yeah. I see her. I don't see
what the big deal is.

Uh-uh.

Ally, this is Anna Flint.

She's actually gonna be
trying this case. Ally McBeal.

Hi.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Georgia Thomas.

- Hi.
- Pleasure.

[ Ally Thinking ]
Wow! That is a smile.

[ Man ]
All rise.

Be seated.

All right. I'm informed
that the defendant...

does want to be heard
in summary judgment.

Uh, y-yes, Your Honor.

A-Addressing this issue would be
my colleague, Richard Fish.

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Cowbell Clinks ]

Your Honor, my name is Richard Fish,
and before making my argument,

I'd like to come clean with
my lack of objectivity because,

in addition to being an attorney
and an officer of this fine court,

I am a citizen of
the United States of America.

And as such, I am appalled that the
machinery of our government...

can be hampered
by these cheap lawsuits.

Mr. Fish, the Supreme Court
has recently ruled...

that the president of the United States
may be sued while serving his term,

so why should we
excuse a senator?

Well, I'm glad you asked
me that, Your Honor,

because it will allow me to
comment on a very small detail,

so far ignored with respect
to the Clinton-Jones ruling.

[ Judge Steele ]
And what's that?

Uh, they screwed up.

- Who?
- The Supreme Court. Bad ruling.

The Supreme Court
screwed up?

- Yes.
- And you would like me to substitute...

- your judgment for theirs?
- Yes.

- Do I win?
- No, Mr. Fish, you do not.

Ah. Your Honor,
their ruling was...

based on their conclusion that,
uh, the president being sued...

wouldn't take up much of his time or
hamper his ability to do the work.

Hello?
How out of it are they?

Not gonna be a burden?
Not gonna take up any time?

Let me tell you something, Judge.
The Supreme Court, they're old.

And the media? Uh, pick up a newspaper--
any newspaper.

What do they cater to?

Dirt, sleaze, gossip, crap.

- How is that relevant here?
- It's relevant for two reasons.

One, the American public.
Stupid people.

You want a sampling?

They're either guests on Jerry Springer
or they're serving jury duty.

Two, lawyers like me.
I'll sue anybody. Merits?

Ha! Who cares? I'll go after senators
for the fun of it.

And don't tell me I can't cripple a
congressman's ability to do his work.

With today's media, it's not like they go
out and check the facts.

I could say something about
you having sex with a goat.

Totally untrue. So what?
All I gotta do is say it.

Newsweek will print it, and boom, your
whole docket becomes spin control.

The Supreme Court
blew that ruling!

I'll say it to you. I'll say it to them.
Bad ruling. Bad, bad ruling.

[ Applause ]

Quiet!
Quiet down.

Really.

Mr. Fish, despite your zealous
and scholarly analysis,

I've decided not to overrule
our highest court.

Hmm. Please note "damn it"
for the record.

Trial starts tomorrow morning at 10:00.
[ Gavel Raps ]

[ Chattering ]

That was pretty impressive,
I have to say.

Yep. That's our Richard.
[ Chuckles ]

Ally, um,

forgive me for saying this,

but don't you think
it's a little inappropriate...

to wear such a short skirt
in a courtroom?

I'm sorry. I, uh,
shouldn't have said anything.

Um, it's just,
as a woman, I, uh--

Yes. And as a woman, Anna,

we all know
they're not real.

What aren't real?

Those... teeth.

[ Chuckles ]

We make special exceptions
all the time.

Young men are sent to war, to their
deaths, for the sake of the country.

The national interest
is put before their lives.

But it can't be put before
this simpering little wimp,

who cries all day because
his wife left him?

We have a damn country to run!
A-A-And, of course,

politicians will drop everything
to defend their image.

They're in the business
of being liked--

You know, you really should
tell this guy not to talk.

He said he'd stop as soon
as his 15 minutes are up.

[ Sighs ]

Do you think that this
should be a case, anyway?

A jilted spouse suing the person

that came between them--
that's pretty bogus, isn't it?

I think so. Of course, my perspective
could be a bit off.

I'm usually the person
coming in between.

Where's your
perspective, Ally?

Isn't this a little
embarrassing,

suing the man
your wife left you for?

Yes. I'm sure, to the world,
this makes me look pathetic.

But more pathetic would be for me to sit
home and feel sorry for myself.

Some might accuse you of acting out
in a public way, Mr. Bepp.

I am acting out.
I'm speaking out.

My wife and I
had a happy marriage.

And then he invaded that marriage.
As a result, he ended it.

How can you be sure your marriage
wasn't doomed anyway?

Because my wife told me.

She said that
she still loved me,

that she couldn't imagine
not ever being with me forever,

until he came along.

Could she have just
been saying that?

Many times when somebody is
trying to end a relationship,

you-- you flatter them
in the process.

[ Thinking ]
That's what I do.

Well, I'm sure that's true.

But there's still no denying the fact that
he pursued a married woman.

And do you think the law should enforce
a marriage contract?

I think the law should hold accountable
anyone who willfully tries to breach it.

Your Honor, one second
to confer with counsel.

Quickly.

[ Whispering ] You're doing terribly.
Richard, I'm not done.

Still, so far, it's awful.

Bygones.

[ Clears Throat ]

Mr. Bepp, what about
the man who--

he doesn't try to pursue the woman, and
yet he's attracted to her?

There's nothing wrong
with that, is there?

No.

And certainly, if the woman
was also attracted,

maybe she too fell in love,
just by being near him--

Can't really blame
the guy there, can you?

No. But if you--

No, no. Hold on.
Suppose two people,

despite their mutual attraction,
they stay away from each other.

Suppose they even
deny their attraction.

But still,
there's no really denying...

that they love each other.

Have they committed
any offense?

If they haven't acted on it, no.
But when he acts on it--

Isn't it difficult
to draw that line, Mr. Bepp?

Where is the act?

Two people who work near each other, the
attraction takes on a life of its own.

Where does the man
cross the line? Is it a smile?

Is it an extended gaze?

Uh, an admission
of the attraction itself?

Isn't it impossible
to draw that line, Mr. Bepp?

[ Chattering ]

How did it go?
Oh, it went great.

Ally was great. She blurred the lines.
It came out totally confused.

Now it's John's turn. Are you ready?

I am.

- Georgia?
- Shut up.

- What?
- [ Sighs ] I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.
I just--

What's wrong?

Shut up.

[ Grunts ]
Maybe we could speak in private.

[ Exhales ]

Every time I convince
myself it's nothing,

every time I think I'm making progress,
I realize the two of you haven't.

- She was defending a client.
- Boy, was she good.

She couldn't have been better
if she were defending herself, could she?

You know what, Georgia?
Why don't you just go out...

and get yourself
a new haircut or something?

- What?
- I am getting sick of this!

- You're getting sick of this?
- Yes, I am.

- You yell when you know you're wrong.
- I do not!

Why are we lying
about this?

You're still...
in love with her.

Why are we lying about this?

- Georgia?
- I'm off this case, Richard.

What do you mean "off"?
We're a team.

I'm off your little team!
[ Door Slams ]

Hey!

I need you for a second.

[ Door Slams ]

Whatever the hell is between us
and whatever isn't,

you leave it
out of the courtroom.

That was unprofessional,
what you did in there,

and it was out of line!

Whatever it was,
I'm sorry I missed it.

- Team meeting?
- Shut up, Richard! Just shut up!

This office is fraught with
emotional volatility.

[ Door Slams ]

Whatever the hell is wrong with you,

don't you ever just yank me into my
office, unload...

and then leave
without me having my say.

Fine. Let's have it.

- Have what?
- Your say. Let's have it.

- I don't have one.
- What?

I don't even know what your say was about,
so how can I have a response?

But you didn't know that I didn't have a
response when you stormed out.

- For all you knew, I had a say.
- You're a wacko, Ally!

I'm not the one
having tantrums.

What's the matter?

You want to know
the matter?

Do you think I'm trying
to break up your marriage?

Do I think you're trying?

I think you can do
things without trying, Ally.

Look, you are competing
with history,

but that is all
you're competing with.

Do you really believe that?

Yeah. He's not gonna
leave you, Georgia.

And even if he considered it
for a single second,

you would at least
see a hint of it.

I haven't really been
looking for that hint.

But I have.

I admit it.
I haven't encouraged it,

and I don't even
want it, but...

I have wondered.

This dialogue is just
a little too healthy for me.

Georgia,
you and I are friends.

Even if Billy could
betray you, I couldn't.

- Oh, Ally.
- It's true.

Do you remember
that game Truth or Dare?

- That stupid high school game?
- Yeah.

Truth.

If you and Billy were somehow stranded
on a deserted island together,

no one around,
no one would ever find out,

couldn't possibly find out,

are you telling me
nothing would happen?

Nothing would happen.

Nothing?

Nope.

And, Mr. Colson, can you be sure that the
senator, in fact, pursued Mrs. Bepp?

Yes.
It was in the office.

Uh, people had been working late.
There was a boom box going.

He asked her to dance.
[ Chuckles ]

Well, excuse me, but, uh,
I've been asked to dance.

[ Thinking ]
There go the teeth.

I would hardly say
that I find it offensive.

- [ Thinking ] Bitch.
- Yes, but he looked really, predatory.

And I heard him say
as he asked,

"Would you mind dancing with me
for the rest of your life?"

The song playing was a song by the
Supremes, "Someday We'll Be Together."

- Correct?
- Yes, I believe so.

♪♪ [ "Someday We'll
Be Together" ]

Mr. Colson,

have you ever been, well,
swept up by a song?

- Excuse me?
- For example,

uh, while driving, a song comes on the
radio-- a song you like--

and, uh, suddenly, unwittingly, you find
yourself driving a little faster?

- Has that ever happened?
- Sure.

Sometimes at a party,
you could be talking, uh,

maybe about politics,
while a song is playing.

You look down at your foot to discover...
♪♪ [ Continues ]

it's tapping.

- That happens, doesn't it?
- Of course.

Ever known a shoulder
to move a little?

I don't mean while dancing,
just while standing.

- Sure.
- Well, in that moment--

your foot tapping, your shoulder swinging,
maybe even a hip--

♪♪ [ Continues ]

your eye goes to somebody
else enjoying the music--

a pretty woman looking like
she might even care to dance.

♪♪ [ Continues ]

Did you ever just
ask that woman to dance?

Just, uh, out of the sway
of the moment. Nothing intended.

- Just, "Hey, let's dance."
- I really have to object to this.

And suddenly, out of nowhere,

you're arrested by the most
beautiful face you've ever seen.

And you go to her and say,
"Dance with me." May I?

No. Objection!

Mr. Cage.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.
The music moved me.

It was compounded
by her face.

I didn't mean
anything by it.

♪♪ [ Continues ]

♪♪ [ Ends ]
I apologize.

- So you lied.
- Through my teeth.

What was I supposed to say?

"Yes, if Billy and I were
on a deserted island,

it would be a completely
horizontal way of life"?

Of course I lied.
Sometimes you have to lie.

So Georgia has a point then.
She's absolutely right.

No. She's not right about me busting up
her marriage. That would never happen.

[ Gasps ]

What was that?

That little huggy bastard
just threw a spear at me.

Ally, the time has come.

You gotta go into therapy.

Oh, come on, Renee.

With everything I've got going,
my-- my insurance would--

where is he?--
would never cover it.

This Billy-Georgia thing
is getting worse.

It's affecting your cases.

You're ducking spears
thrown by imaginary babies.

So what?

- You're a wacko!
- And I like it.

Now, we know the seed
of all this crap.

You either get into a room
with Billy and Georgia,

or you get in a room
with a doctor.

But this has gone on
long enough.

Renee, even if I get past
all my problems,

I'm just gonna go out
and get new ones.

I like being a mess.
It's who I am.

- Ally?
- John.

This Flint woman,
she's a trickster.

She may call a new witness, try to
introduce something out of the blue.

It's not about that.
What she endeavors to do...

is get opposing counsel into a contentious
sidebar, and then she smiles.

She smiles?

While the other attorney is
facially contorting in protest,

she grins warmly,
inviting the jury to love her.

When this happens,
you have to smile too.

Okay.

Have your cheeks reach
upward for your eyebrows.

- I know how to smile, John.
- This woman is good, Ally.

- I can smile with anybody.
- Okay.

Ally, should the ooga-chucka infant dash
into the room, please ignore him.

Yes.

Hey.

Could you sit?

[ Clears Throat ]

Think John "Elroy" will, uh, retire now
that he finally got a Super Bowl ring?

Rings are only
symbolic, Ally.

Ally, Georgia and I were
up all night talking.

Talking? You're married.

[ Laughs ]
I was kidding.

I told her
that I still love you.

You... wh-what?

I'm not gonna lie about it.
I always will love you.

We grew up together.
You'll always be a part of me.

Oh. Oh.
[ Laughs ]

The "part of me" kind of love.
[ Chuckles ]

But I also told her
that my feelings for you...

don't compromise and won't
compromise my love for her.

Well, then--
then it's all settled then.

It is not settled.
It's a problem and--

No, no, no.
See, it's not my problem.

Stop ducking
responsibility, Ally.

Georgia, it's your marriage.

- Like it or not, you're a part of it!
- Hey! I agree.

What happens between me and Georgia
shouldn't involve you, but it does.

And I blame myself for
letting it get to this point.

Look, we went to
a therapist this morning.

We met with him
for an hour and a half.

We're going back,
but he wants to meet you.

- What?
- He wants to talk to you about--

No, no. I'm not going to your therapist.
I won't even go to mine.

- I know it sounds crazy, but--
- It's insane.

What-- What kind of therapist could
possibly recommend that-that-that-that,

- Normal rules don't apply here, Ally.
- Coffee?

- Get out!
- Get out!

[ Door Closes ]

I am not going
to your marriage counselor.

That is the most ridiculous
thing I've ever even heard of.

Maybe not the most...
ridiculous.

I-- I can't go on like this.

And I will never figure this out
until you figure it out.

I think that the two of you should
get together for a night...

and just get it
out of your systems.

[ Laughing ]

[ Georgia ]
Call me a psycho.

I don't care.

You two need to know
if this is really there or not.

So go ahead. Take a night.
Take a weekend.

Just find out.

- Georgia, that's--
- Absurd.

You want to deny that you need to know?
Go ahead, do that too.

But I need to know.

I need to know.

[ Door Closes ]

I don't think that's
an appropriate solution.

Uh, it-it's not
the way I'd go.

Well, um,
I-I-I have to get to court.

I have to go defend that, um--

the senator.

Bye.

She said what?
You heard me.

"Get it out of your system."
And by "it" she meant what?

Well, she didn't exactly
spell "it" out,

but it was very clear what she meant.

- "It" it?
- "It" it.

She suggested that Billy and I
get "it" it out of our system.

- Well, are you?
- Am I what?

What do you mean, "Are you what?"

Are you going to do
"it" it with "Billy" Billy?

No. The fact that she
would even suggest "it"--

Gotta hand it to Georgia.
That's stepping up.

Come on.
We're on.

We're gonna
talk about this later.

You can count on that.

Ms. Flint,
any more witnesses?

One second, Your Honor.

I sense the trickster.

Your Honor, we'd like
to call Mrs. Foote,

- formerly Mrs. Bepp, to the stand.
- Your Honor, we object to that.

Why? Is there a problem with her telling
her story of the events?

Sidebar, Your Honor?

Your Honor,
adultery is a crime--

That is an archaic law
that is never prosecuted.

Nevertheless, it is on the books,
and therefore, technically,

- it's a punishable crime.
- In the interest of justice,

I would ask the court
to impose some common sense.

In the interest of justice, I would ask
the court to recognize the Bill of Rights.

He says it went well, but he still wants

He doesn't want the jury

Fine.

I have never been more offended

or more insulted than
by what you said today.

You think it was
some childish bluff?

I am sick of trying to convince myself of
something you are not convinced of.

How many husbands admit to their
wives

that they still love their
former girlfriends? How many?

You say that like you
should score points.

I should!

Fine! Sleep with her!
Go hit the jackpot!

You know something,
Georgia?

- That woman, Mrs. Bepp?
- Mrs. Foote now.

Right, Foote.

When she was Mrs. Bepp,
she thought she was happy.

She thought she would be
with her husband forever.

But she was wrong, 'cause something better
came along.

And she then discovered that love could
run a lot deeper than she ever imagined.

Me and Ally?

Yeah, we loved
each other deeply.

I discovered what it
meant to really love...

when I was with her.

- I'm thrilled for you.
- You should be.

Because what I am
trying to say--

When I chose you,

I didn't just marry the first person
I fell in love with.

I married the person
I fell most in love with.

The fact that there was
an Ally in my past,

if anything, that should
make you feel more secure.

That is the best one
I've ever heard.

What's stopping me, Georgia?
We don't have kids!

If she loves me and I love her,
what's stopping me?

Good question!

If you don't know the answer,

then you don't know me.

Thanks for having
a sleepover.

I know, I know. I'm a simpering
little needy thing.

It's okay.

- They're talking about me.
- Excuse me?

Billy and Georgia, they're talking about
me. I can tell.

I can always tell when people are talking
about me. My left fibula itches.

- Your what?
- My fibula.

It's a bone in my shin.

- It itches?
- When people talk about me.

You're just thinking about
Georgia's little proposition.

- No.
- Come on.

- No. Go to sleep.
- Fine.

[ Footsteps ]

I loved her.
That's my defense.

You loved her when you asked her to dance
that first time?

No, but I was probably
infatuated.

The dance was just a dance.

It wasn't part of a scheme to interfere
in somebody's marriage.

But-- But, Senator, at-- at some point,
you--

Yes.

Listen, not only was
she married, so was I.

There were stakes for me.

Not to mention
my political career,

with the media just salivating to exercise
their journalistic integrity.

This was not something
I did for a thrill or a whim.

I fell in love.

You knew she was married
when you asked her to dance?

Yes.

The following Tuesday
you went out for coffee,

and according
to your wife's journal,

you told her you
"longed to be inside of her."

- Emotionally?
- Objection.

Sustained.

Senator, is it your testimony you never
had any intent to cause...

this woman
to break up with that man?

Love rarely involves
specific intent, Ms. Flint.

That's very poetic.

Objection.

- That was very argumentative.
- All right.

Senator, did you
place a tape...

of a Nat King Cole song
in this woman's in-box?

Yes, yes. I think I did...
a long time ago.

Long time ago? Back when she was
married to my client?

Yes.

Your Honor, I'd like to play
that tape for the court.

She's up to something.

you approach a woman you know
to be married and ask her...

to dance with you
for the rest of your life.

You then take her out for coffee and tell
her how you ache for her.

Then you drop a song called
"He'll Have to Go"...

into her--

- [ Renee ] In open court?
- It was John's idea.

And the Judge didn't ream you?
The Judge knows how silly this case is.

And I think he probably thinks that these
tactics go hand in hand.

Speaking of hand in hand,

did you give any more thought
to Georgia's little offer?

No.

I'm not saying I think
it's a good idea,

but how often do you get the forbidden
fruit served right up on a silver platter?

I am not going to be biting
Billy's fruit, Renee.

You didn't even consider it?
Not even for a second?

A half a second,
but not seriously.

All right, five seconds.
I thought about it for five seconds.

- And how was it?
- Never mind.

- The only thing is that--
- What?

Well, when Billy
and I were together, I--

I wasn't really
good at sex.

- And now--
- What do you mean, "now"?

I am good in bed, Renee.

- [ Laughing ]
- What?

Ally, I'm your roommate.
We have thin walls. And you--

[ Panting, Moaning ]
I don't sound like that.

I make more noise
breaking in a new shoe.

I am fantastic in bed.

- Georgia's here.
- Thank you, Elaine.

Ally, I just--

I was out of line yesterday.
I'm sorry.

- So Billy's off the table?
- Renee!

She's a big riot.
[ Chuckles ]

I really am sorry.

Georgia, I can't help but notice some of
the stuff that's been going on.

Probably because I actually
pay people to listen.

Anyway,
between you and me,

I think you should
have an affair.

Men want
what they can't have.

If Billy wants Ally, it's only because
he can't have her.

I mean, he certainly didn't want her when
he had her, or he wouldn't have left.

My point is, that if you were to have
a little indiscretion,

that would make him insecure,
and then he would want you.

And right now, he knows he can have you.
And that's a problem.

Hmm. I see.

So, then the reason
you're alone...

is that every man in Boston
knows he can have you?

- Exactly.
- Hmm.

- That disparaged me.
- Hmm.

He's not here to get rich.

He's not asking that you
award him a lot of money.

He's asking that you recognize the
sanctity of a marriage-- his marriage.

We're always quick to blame
the cheating partner,

but what about the person
who knowingly...

walks into a marital
relationship and breaks it up?

Is he or she without
responsibility?

There has to be a difference between

romantically pursuing somebody
who's single...

and somebody who's married,
doesn't there?

If not, how can we really say the
institution has any sanctity?

What he did was wrong.

Strange that Mr. Bepp would come
to court for such a verdict.

Sad that in these times
he would have to.

You better have
more than a smile.

I agree with everything
she said.

Sad that this issue would have to be
addressed in a courtroom.

More sad that people really don't respect
marriage anymore.

He was wrong.
Lots of people commit adultery.

It happens.
No, it shouldn't happen.

It's wrong.
But it's also wrong...

to think that a law or a jury
is gonna make a difference here.

If two people love each other
so powerfully,

they're gonna
end up together.

Stick laws between them, stick a court, a
judge, an old girlfriend,

they will still
find a way to end up together.

Now, I am sure
that he still loves her.

And she probably
still loves him.

But these two,

they're the ones
who are meant to be.

I-If you want to be angry,

because the one you love loves
somebody else a little more,

I understand that
more than you know.

But anybody--

anybody who has ever been
truly, truly in love,

knows that my client
didn't have a choice.

Yes, marriage is,
and should be, a sanctity.

And the one over there--

it is.

Great. We are on call.

The clerk sensed a swell
as they were entering the room.

He thinks they'll
come back fast.

[ Exhales ]

I'm drawn to her.
What?

- Oh, no. Ally? Again?
- Not Ally. The Flint woman.

- I'm drawn to her.
- Take a number, John.

I'm not saying you'd have no shot, but
you'd certainly have to get radical.

A woman like that?
She gets hit on all day.

Hmm.

What would you do?

[ Mouths Words ]

Hey.

Hey.

Listen, um,
Ally's closing--

I don't know whether
the jury will believe it...

or whether you
believe it, but I do.

I'm meant to be
with the woman I'm with.

I mean that.

I guess I'd still
like you to know it.

I do, Georgia. I do.

Billy, I don't want to stop with the
counseling. We need it.

- Okay.
- A lot of it.

Whatever it takes.

What happens if it's guilty?
Congress could expel you.

You'd have to run for president.
Kidding. Bygones.

Madam Foreperson,
has the jury reached a verdict?

[ Woman ]
We have, Your Honor.

[ Judge Steele ] What say you?

In the matter
of Bepp versus Foote,

intentional interference
with marital relations,

- we find in favor of the defendant.
- [ Applause ]

[ Judge Steele ] Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, thank you for your service.

Court is adjourned.
[ Gavel Raps ]

- Thank you, Ally.
- Oh, you're welcome.

- Your words, that closing--
- Ditto.

Well, yeah, legal training.
[ Chuckles ]

Yeah.

It was a noble prosecution.

Thank you.
We did our best.

What was that?

Just thought I saw a, uh--

You touched my wattle,
you little perv.
