Previously on Ally McBeal.

-She wants to make me a judge?
-Yes.

I like it.

-John Cage.
-John Cage. He's the little one.

Yeah. Well, you know, he might not be
tall, but his heart is mammoth.

-And you love him?
-Totally.

She's one of my very best friends,
Richard. I could lose

-all of that by making a play for her.
-So why do it?

-Because I love her.
-Hello!

-(all gasp)
-I'm looking for Jenny Shaw.

-That's me.
-Hello, hello!

Claire Otoms, our named plaintiff.

I want to put you on television.

I mean, think of it.
We'll pay you to be a bitch.

-And she's happy being one for free.
-Judge Ling,

this is meant to be.

You should be clear that Jenny and I
are definitely over as a couple.

(man announcing) Coming up,
round 12 in Raymond versus Glenn.

One round, Raymond. The last round.

You're way ahead.
Don't get careless. Just hold him off

-with your jab, and you're home.
-Uh-huh.

Watch the left hook.
That's all he's ever hurt you with.

You need to knock him out, Glenn.

You're way behind on points.
You can't win this on a decision.

-Okay.
-Everything comes down to this.

Are you a champion or not?

Three minutes.

-Take it to him.
-(bell dings)

ANNOUNCER: There's the bell.

(crowd shouting)

WOMAN: Get him!

And another left.

Yeah!

(screams)

(gasps)

(gasps)

JENNY: Okay. So wait a second.
Let me see if I get this.

You had a dream of me having a dream
of Raymond and Glenn fighting?

Yes. And you were in the front row,

and then, when Raymond hit Glenn,
his mouthpiece flew into you,

and you screamed
and then lurched up in bed,

revealing that it was a dream.

Mmm.

Mmm. And then I lurched up in bed,

realizing I was dreaming
of you having the dream.

Okay. You're weirder than me.

-(door opens)
-Ready?

-Glenn, we have to call the case off.
-Why?

Because you and Raymond
are gonna end up killing each other,

-or at least ruining your friendship.
-Jenny, are you--

-I dreamt it.
-Well, uh, a-actually, I--

No, you dreamt me dreaming it,

which is like a dream
to the second exponent.

I'm sure I should have followed that.

I would think. I mean,
you majored in dream interpretation.

I didn't major in it. I studied it.

Even so, you should be
able to read this one.

-We--We should settle.
-Just because she dreamt it?

Her dreams come true.
Will you tell him, Ally?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Especially the bad ones.

Okay. (clears throat)

Tell me about this dream.

Okay. Uh, you and Raymond were, um,

you know, um, uh, boxing.

His eye was swollen, and, uh--
and you were bleeding a little.

-It was terrible.
-Only, it-it--

it didn't turn out to be my dream.

I was just in bed, I guess,

dreaming of--of
Jenny's dream, like she said.

Is that it?

Pretty much.

See? We need to settle.

Okay. Look. This dream
could mean who knows what.

Okay. You're in bed.
That could be many things:

fear of death, place of sexual encounter,
a womb.

Violence. Violence isn't battle
so much as repression.

Blood. Blood actually means love.

-Love?
-Yeah, becoming one with somebody.

Almost like--Almost like blood brothers.
Who was bleeding?

You.

Okay.

Men naked, or in undergarments: also

sexual fantasy and/or intimacy.

Putting it all together-- Let's see.

This has nothing to do with the case.

You just have repressed fantasies
of sex and intimacy. That's all.

Likely with, uh,

me.

Dreams mean nothing.

Okay, uh, first up,
the Honorable Judge Ling.

As you all know, Ling's a--a judge.
It's, uh--

Yeah.

Uh, uh, and, of course, legally,

uh, as a judge,
she can no longer work here.

-ALL: Oh.
-Oh.

I heard that.
I know sarcasm when I hear it.

I'm expecting a party, by the way.

Something big. Maybe a dinner.

-I'll need to approve the menu.
-Well--

What happened to you?

I beg your pardon?

Uh, uh, uh, how was your time off,
uh, John?

-JOHN: It was fine.
-RICHARD: Uh, good food? A little "R & R"?

-Steroids?
-I worked out a little.

-Let's just move along, Richard.
-All right. Okay.

Uh, uh, next up, uh, um--

You know, actually,
I--I've totally forgotten what's next.

-Well, can anything follow that?
-Oh, balls.

-They only thing that they--
-They know!

They know you look different.
They don't know that you're--

Come on. Did you see the gape on Ally?
I could count her fillings.

When they touch you,
you'll feel real to them.

What do I do? Walk around
the office saying, "Touch me"?

Is that what women do
with their padded bras?

John, they won't give this
a chance if you don't.

Now you have to trust me here.

This can work.

Even if it could work, Corretta,
what then?

Do I just continue living my life
with-with fake pecs and inflated glutes?

Women are attracted to the package.

We look at body parts just like men do.

Oh, well, that's really nice to hear.

But once we fall in love
with the man inside,

what's outside no longer matters.

You see pretty wives with beer-bellied,
bald-headed men all the time.

Do you think those guys looked
like that in the beginning?

-125?
-Look, Jenny--

Come on, Raymond. Our case
is stronger as a nuisance claim.

But your damages are still limited.
Help me out here, Al.

Why should I help you out?

Look. The discovery on this
alone will run into six figures.

You'll lose money.

I know you know that, Jenny.
Glenn knows it. How ya doin'?

W-W-Would--Would you stop
asking me how I'm doing?

125 is as high as I'm authorized to go.
It's as high as I will go.

-We'll think about it.
-No, we won't.

We will consider the offer,
and we'll get back to you, Raymond.

Good.

That was fast. Burger?

Yeah. Okay. I'll meet you outside.

(exhales) Look. They got us.

No, they don't.
And whose side are you on anyway?

Jenny, the cost of prosecuting this case
will be higher than our contingency.

-There's no way--
-We can win this for a lot of money.

-In your dreams--or maybe hers.
-Hey, hey, hey!

My dreams have no relevance.

Don't you go be thinkin' that
my dreams have any relevance.

We cannot make money on this case.

That's all I'm saying.

Case number 603,
Crystal versus City of Boston.

Good morning, Your Honor.

How are you today?

-Judgment for the defendant.
-Wait. I have a case.

I was forced to pay
the Brighton Public School $32,

just because my son stuck gum
on the bottom of a desk.

It was extortion.
They threatened to suspend him

if I didn't pay for the cleaning.

Your Honor, it may seem petty,

but the school systems expend
a considerable amount of taxpayers' money

every year to remove
these big wads of gum.

Not only is it vandalism,

but it represents
an egregious breach of decorum.

This is a school.
Gum chewing is symptomatic

of the escalation of disrespect

afforded to both the teachers and the...

education--

I've changed my mind.
Judgment for the plaintiff.

You'll refund her money times three.

-Oh! Thank you, Your Honor.
-But you pay court costs.

$500.

Next case.

Something good.

(mumbling)

(gasps) Hmm. Oh.

What are we gonna do?

About... what?

Jenny.

We gotta convince her
to settle on this case, Ally.

Mmm.

When she gets stubborn like this, I just--

Look. My problem is is that
I'm friends with Raymond,

and that makes my influence less.

-Mmm.
-So maybe you should

sit down with her and--
and try and persuade her.

You guys seem pretty close now.

Well--

-(clears throat)
-Are you, uh, close?

All right. Look.
See, I'm-I'm 31 years old,

and I'm way too old to play games, okay?

-I'm sorry?
-Well, last week,

you basically told me
the two of you were definitely over.

And totally unmotivated
by anything in the conversation,

you blurt out that you're a single guy.

And now you're here, fishing again,
trying to find out if I'm close to Jenny,

i.e., would I consider it
a betrayal to her if I were to see you.

So, um,

obviously there's-there's
some chemistry going on.

So let's just be adult,

address it and put it out there.

Ally.

-Hmm?
-If you somehow

got the impression
that I was... interested,

I apologize.

(air hissing)

Never mind. It was a--
(chuckles) It was a joke!

I was joking. It was a joke.

Ha-ha! I'm a joker.
No. You know what?

You'll learn that about me. I'm--

I'm a--I'm a kidder. (chuckles) So funny.

Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ah. See ya. (clears throat)

(whirring)

-(door closes)
-Oh--

(whirring continues)

Tell me something. Be honest.
Think Ally's cute?

Why do you ask me that?

-Well, it's just--I could be wrong here.
-You usually are.

But I think she's, uh, you know,
a nasty little edible.

Oh. You think she's cute?

What, am I talkin' to myself here?
Isn't that what I just said?

Oh, well, yeah.

-Um, I suppose she's cute.
-Okay.

I'm gonna just say this.
And I could be wrong.

You usually are.

But I bet behind the little outfits
and the Jane Hathaway corporate thing,

she's a little sex machine.

Ally?

Yep. Think it'd be bad
for me to ask her out?

Well--I thought you did ask her out.

Yeah, but I didn't wait for an answer.

Pissed her off.
I got distracted by Loing.

Ling.

Right. What do you think of me and Ally?

(slurping)

You always have a good feel
for these things.

Well, uh, I-I-I don't, uh--

Actually, yeah. Yeah.
You two probably would be good.

Why not?

I'm gonna ask her out. (chuckles)

Ally, give me your hand.

(sighs)

I simply must have it.

(sighs, exhales)

I'm not exactly comfortable
with the dream.

In fact, I'm confused by it,

and I think we ought to
confront its implications.

It was just a dream.

It's been said,
"Sex is the gateway of life."

Who said that?

It doesn't matter. What does--

we are conceived through the act of sex.

And as we get older,
we are reborn through it,

either as a culminating act of love, or...

lust.

-Lust is good.
-It is?

Oh, yes.

It's part of love.

And women sometimes need to
revitalize the yearning.

I think you know what I'm saying.

Oh. Um--

Give me your hand.

I haven't a clue as to what you're saying.

Drink the sweet nectar
of the forbidden fruit.

Navigate the passage.

A-Again.

More clearly.

It's only when you surrender to your want

that you'll be able to clarify
what it is you truly need.

You're telling me again to go to the boy.

Oh, yes.

Well, we can't settle for 125,000.
I'm sorry.

Jenny, at some point
we have got to be practical.

-Why? Who made up that rule?
-(toilet flushes)

-Certainly not me.
-At 125,000, minus contingency,

each plaintiff will get about a dollar.

Oh, Jenny, this whole thing
is not about money.

It's about right and wrong.

It's stopping these people invading
the privacy of our own homes,

where we do all those little...

private things that we love
to do in our own homes.

This, my love, is about justice.

But justice can't be that cheap.

The problem is, they're not afraid of us.

-Then we have to scare them.
-Hey.

-How's it goin'?
-CLAIRE: Hello again!

(chuckles)

Well, John, one of us isn't being

entirely honest with ourselves, is he?

Um--

Hmm? Hmm?

Okay. Wh-Wh-Why--Why can't they do this,
uh, in your office?

They don't want natural light.

-Have you planned my party?
-Well--

-Richard.
-Okay.

I have strong emotional
attachments to this place.

Uh-huh.

-I want something appropriate.
-Wh-What's going on?

Camera and makeup, uh, test.

Well--

-Are you really getting your own TV show?
-Why shouldn't I?

-Ally, can I speak with you?
-Uh, no.

I mean, I--I-- I tried to convince Jenny.

She wouldn't budge.
So we have nothing left to talk about.

-Uh, just the same, could, uh--
-Oh, boy.

I want you to sing at my party.

-Excuse me?
-Somebody from the firm should sing.

I don't want it to be Elaine.
She's a secretary.

Besides her, you're the only one
who can hit a note.

A ballad, or something
that--that captures me.

-Can you hold still a second?
-No.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Uh--Uh, Ling.

Do you think that after
you finish the shoot that I--

I could borrow the camera crew?

Sure. I can be generous

when it doesn't cost me anything.

-A video?
-ALLY: Yeah.

Yeah. Well, we talked about
how we don't scare them.

Well, what would scare
the-the phone companies?

-What?
-Bad publicity.

And so far,
this case has made very little noise.

So, how can we change that?

But, Ally, lawyers call
press conferences all--

No, no. This is not a press conference.
This is a cross between

a video and a P.S.A.,
and Claire is gonna be our spokesperson.

(chuckles) Claire? Are you on drugs?

I have an idea.
Now, I know it's out there,

but-but just call Raymond
and set up another settlement conference,

and-and you get Claire back in here,
because we have to rehearse.

And no, I am not on drugs.

I know you're in there.

Uh--

Come on. Let me in,
or I'll call the fire department.

(beeps)

(beeps)

(sighs) What's wrong?

-Feel my muscle.
-Uh--Oh.

Ooh.

Yep.

It was all a fraud--

-a suit designed by Corretta.
-Oh.

Gee. And I so totally
thought it was the real you.

You know, as lawyers,
we're trained to look at events

through the eyes of the reasonable man.

-Looking at myself--
-John. John.

This sullen attitude--
I'd like to be there for you,

but it's just--it's too boring.

Do you ever have a problem
with being profoundly ridiculous?

Never. Look.

This plunge started two weeks ago
when you decided you loved Ally.

You know, she's magic.
She's not afraid to be afraid.

Richard.

And what did we agree to do?
Declare your feelings.

And you didn't do that, did you, John?

Because she likened me to a Chia Pet.

You never took the shot,

and that's the biggest failure
anyone can ever experience--

not even having the guts
to go for what you want.

(Richard sighs)

Did you ever stop to think
maybe she could be protecting herself?

Maybe she really loves you.

Did you ever stop to consider that?

Do you think that could be true?

Oh, God. What are you, nuts?

That's not--That's not the point.
The point is, let her say no.

Hear her say no.

But at least walk the plank.

How could any woman love a man
who's too afraid to take the--the chance?

If you love Ally, go to her.

I suppose I should have
announced the--the phone number.

I know, but we can superimpose that
with a--with a graphic.

(mumbles)

I'm gonna see how Glenn did
with the meeting.

-Okay.
-You were great, Claire.

Yes, I was, wasn't I?

(chuckles) So lovely.

Okay. Well, we'll--we'll let you know
how we do, and, uh, I--

-I really appreciate it, Claire.
-Are you all right, Ally?

-Sorry?
-You seem blue.

-I know my colors.
-Well--

(chuckles)
I'm-I'm-I'm probably just a little tired.

Is it a man?

What?

(stammers) No.

No. I'm-- (chuckles) I'm-I'm fine.

Oh, you're more than fine.

-You're gorgeous.
-(chuckles)

But is it Glenn?

Glenn? Uh, Glenn Foy?

(chuckles nervously)

May I take your hand, Ally?

Okay.

When I was very, very young,
I was the image of you--

which gives you an idea

what you're going to look like
in a year or two.

(chuckles) But there was nothing
like that little spark

when you met that special someone.

Even my nooks and crannies tingled.

(chuckles) Now I've got a lot older,

they tingle vicariously.

But right now, I'm tingling for you...

and Glenn.

He's lovely.

Uh, well, uh, you know,
Glenn isn't really my type.

-But-But-But-But thank you.
-Hmm.

My mistake. (chuckles)

I may have had a phantom tingle.

-You know, I-I have a lot of work to do.
-Oh, of course. Of course.

I-I should get busy.

-(clears throat)
-Ally.

Hmm?

I've always found
the funny thing about love

is it's the one game
you lose by refusing to play.

(elevator bell dings)

Well, our home away from home.

You can go right in
to the conference room.

Raymond.

Uh, look, Glenn. This really is
a waste of time, okay? Our client--

Just go in, and we'll meet you in there.

-Mm-hmm.
-Is the television set up?

-Everything's in there.
-NELLE: Glenn, uh, listen.

Could you sing tonight
at the bar for Ling?

-I don't even know her.
-I understand. The problem is, others do.

-Ready?
-Yeah. Let's go.

-Uh, would you think about it?
-Okay.

John, what happened to your little tush?

It's depressed.
Oh, Ally, can I speak to you?

-I'm late.
-It'll only take a second.

Well, I'm in a settlement conference.
Right after, I will come for--

-Ooh!
-(gasps, clears throat)

Listen, Ally. Um--

Sometimes when I try cases
against women lawyers,

I hit on them as a means of unnerving
them a little.

I'm not proud of it. I guess I just, uh--

I want to apologize for
doing it a little with you.

Oh. Well, o-okay. I--I appreciate that.

And, uh, to make amends, I thought, uh,

after the case is over,
I'd ask you out for real.

Oh. (chuckles)

-G-Gee. Um--
-SIMON: Raymond.

(clicks tongue)

All right. First,
thanks for coming back in.

SIMON: We're happy to be here, Jenny.
Of course,

our offer must now drop down
to 120 to cover our time.

-What?
-Jenny.

-That is just mean.
-Oh, listen. 120, 125--

-It doesn't matter.
-They're both way too low.

And unacceptable.

I can't follow who's talking.
Can you keep up?

Why don't you just watch the screen,
Mr. McAllister.

We-We have a little surprise.

Hello. I'm Claire Otoms.

Ever get one of those annoying
calls around dinnertime

from one of those phone companies,

promising to cut your long-distance rates?

-If you're like me--
-What is this?

Oh. Uh, this is a commercial
that we plan to run.

CLAIRE: ...that I decided
to do something about it.

I sued them. (laughs)

I filed a class action suit,

and 72,000 possums--
uh, people--have joined in.

If you've had a royal bellyful
of one of these companies,

and you'd like to fight back,
call this number.

Oh. And by the way,

you know what the dreaded phone companies
are doing now?

They're starting to offer a service

to protect you from
this kind of harassment.

For $11 a month,
they'll screen these calls.

Aren't they lovely?

Believe what you just saw?

How about what you just heard?

The phone companies harass you
into needing protection,

and then they charge you
for this protection.

Remember the bullies
who promised not to beat you up

if you gave them your milk money?

It's the same thing
with these phone companies.

If you would like to join in the fight,

please call this 1-800 number,

which we'll pay for, by the way.

That was good, wasn't it?

ALLY: Yeah, the public
is ready to turn, boys,

and Congress is gonna be
right behind them.

And this commercial
might just be the-the-the nudge.

Ah. We-We bought time for, um,

tomorrow night.

Wait a second.

The phone companies offer a service
to protect you against harassment

-that they themselves commit?
-Some do.

And they're afraid, if we put out the word
with this video, that--

(sighs) Th-They're gonna settle.

I know it. I do. Th-They can't risk
having the class get bigger,

and-and we've-we've told them
that we need an offer tonight.

Congratulations.

Now, what about you and, uh,

the one they call Glenn?

Well, I think
we're in a little bit of a neutral state,

because I think we both know
that the relationship would be short-term,

and with Jenny's feelings at stake--

But he has admitted to his desire?

No. He hasn't.

-I--
-But a woman knows.

Well, it's like...

I know I shouldn't, but I want it,
and I don't want it.

(beeping)

It's--It's beeping.

It's my pager.

-(groans)
-(beeping stops)

(groans) John Cage.

Is it important?

Evidently.

(exhales)

(exhales) Did we really have to come
all the way up to your office?

Yes. It's important.
It's a "semenal" moment.

-Uh, seminal. Uh, seminal.
-Fine. Fine.

-Are you okay?
-No. Well, yes. No. Well--

-Well, what is it?
-I--I--Well, it's--I--I'm just a little--

Cro-Magnon Raymond is-is interested in me,

and I'm-I'm just finding it a little tough

contending with it
in the middle of a case, and--

(exhales deeply)

Just between you and me?

-Oh, of course.
-I think that Glenn is interested too.

-Uh--
-I mean, he's not saying it,

but-but I can feel it.

Oh, it's just--I don't know.
I'm just having a hard time.

(chuckles) You know, men--

men think that women like it
when men are interested in them,

and, you know, it's not always the case.

(sighs) Oh, anyway.

What is it that you wanted
to talk to me about?

I'm interested in you.

(laughs)

Oh, John. That's funny.

I'm serious.

Uh, well, rather than...

throw on a pair of glute trunks...

to try and impress you
with muscles that aren't mine,

I-I--I've decided to take the road
less traveled here--

one of, uh, simple maturity...

and being direct.

I love you.

Uh, your nuance,

your idealism,

your beauty, your body, your--

everything about you.

(stammers) Admittedly, you're slightly
nuts, but I love that too,

because it's something
that we have in common.

I think that we could be a good couple.

I would like to try.

John, I'm--

I so want to be loved by you,

but not in the way

that you are interested in loving me.

(groans softly)

Okay. Ordinarily, this would be the moment

where I would retreat in--in humiliation,

but the stakes being what they are,
I'm just going to ask, are you sure?

And if so, why are you sure?

John, I--

I don't feel any physical passion for you.

I--I--I could be wrong,

but sometimes that can be
discovered along the way.

Ally, the-- (chuckles)

You can hardly be accused of knowing
what you want in a man.

But I'm pretty good
at recognizing what I don't want.

(groans softly)

Oh, John, I--

I-I--I-I think that you are the most
lovely man that I have ever met,

or could ever hope to meet.

But I just can't love you
in the way that you're asking me to.

Mm-hmm.

Well,

that's the trouble, I suppose, in...

coming at people with honesty.

They sometimes counter with it.

much more malignant in the long run.

Really?

Well,

you gotta figure
over six billion people on Earth.

Now, what are the
"needle in a haystack" odds

you'll find that soulmate?

-Hmm.
-And consider the logic

of coming across somebody who could be it,

and then keeping it to yourself.

-Do you want something?
-Uh, excuse me?

Do you want something?

Yeah.

Simon McAllister just returned
with another offer.

We're in the conference room.

Uh-- (clears throat)

Uh, uh, see you downstairs.

Absolutely.

Not that we think this silly infomercial
will have any real effect--

Of course not.

But goodwill is something
that's very hard to quantify.

And, well--

Well, is there a number
that goes along with your goodwill?

Our clients collectively have agreed,
reluctantly, to up our offer to $300,000.

This is preemptive, of course.
It's nonnegotiable.

-Excellent. Well, if it's nonnegotiable--
-Oh. The meeting's over.

Yeah,
we'll just go back down to the bar.

They're all talking again.

Okay, uh, Simon.

Juries hate corporate monopolistic giants.

You know it. I know it. Do you, Ally?

-I do. How ya doin'?
-GLENN: Let's just figure conservatively,

they decide to pay each plaintiff
a thousand dollars

for this systemized harassment.

It's not much, but--
You know what? I'll tell you what.

Let's make it 500 per plaintiff.
A paltry 500.

-Now that seems low, doesn't it?
-Very, very.

Yeah. Even so, 500 times
72,000 is $36 million.

Now, that little commercial could triple
our plaintiff base overnight,

which could bring the possible judgment
to over a hundred million.

I know you fear that.
Your client certainly does.

That's why you're here.
Would you agree, Ally?

I would. How ya doin'?

And a hundred million dollars--

I mean, ordinarily,
that'd seem like a lot of money,

except when you're dealing with
a billion-dollar phone giant.

It's a drop in the bucket. You know it.
Your client knows it. Ally does.

Most of all, the jury will.
And juries just love

to pinch Fortune 500 monopolies.

Fifteen million. That's the number.

Works out to $208 per plaintiff,
assuming we don't run the ad

and the class doesn't get bigger.

$208. That's nothing.

All in at 15?

All in.

Done.

Oh, we-we got $200 per plaintiff.

Wow. Think how their lives will change.

Assuming the class signs on.
And we expect them to.

I just came up to get my stuff.

Hmm. Oh, great song.

-Ling liked it.
-Oh, I'm glad.

Walk you home?

Actually, um, I have some, uh,
stuff that I have to finish up.

You just packed your case.

Well--

Hmm.

Listen. I lied.

Obviously I am interested. I just--

With Jenny, it's just--

I--I know. I know. I know.

(sighs) I mean, I even encouraged Raymond

to kind of date you,
to protect myself against--

Well--

Well, you-you know,

we-we just won a huge case,
and-and the euphoria of that--

Sometimes people are attracted to people
who are involved in their triumph,

because it's the intoxication of victory,

and we just happen to be
two "co-triumphies" here.

And as such, we probably have
an exaggerated sense of--

It would destroy Jenny.

I know.

I just--

I lied before when I--
when I told you I wasn't,

and--and I thought that I should--

-Be honest.
-Yeah.

Well, I am gonna go.

So--

You sure?

Well, I just don't trust myself
to be walked home by you.

You know, Jenny, um--(chuckles)
She said that--

that she wanted you to date a friend,
because that would be good for--

You know, I think that
she thinks that, but--

-I can't do it to her.
-I know.

I-I know. I-- I... can't do it either.

Are we gonna do it to her?

No. We--We can't.

No. Of course. Of course we-we-we can't.

(stammers, clears throat)

So, I'm gonna go.

Okay.

Uh--Uh, Glenn.

Uh-huh?

You're a pretty great guy.

Thanks.

-John.
