All language subtitles for Ally.McBeal.S05E19.2001.Disney+.WEB-DL.1080p.H264.AAC-HDCTV_track6_[eng]

Previously on Ally McBeal.

First of all, let's welcome Liza.
She starts today.

What?

John extended an offer of
employment, and she accepted.

-We're glad to have you.
-Thank you.

-I want her.
-I kinda like being sweaty.

She's an itty-bitty little sexual package.

-Let's go somewhere and do it.
-I want to just unwrap it.

I think on some level you know
that I'm not it for you.

And on some level, I know
you're not it for me.

Can you imagine...

what it must be like to make love to me?

-Yes.
-Good.

You can go now.

Uh, oh--No. No. No, no.
Wh-What? Wait. What? What?

It would be wrong for us
to actually sleep together.

See you at the office.

-Wh--
-(door closes)

(groans) You're not counting for me.

Oh. Uh, yeah. All right. Uh, start over.

Richard, I feel like you're imagining what
it would be like with me again.

Now, I thought we were past
that juncture in our lives.

Oh, y--We have. It's just, uh,
you're so, uh, sweaty.

And I-It's the salt. I crave salt.

If I let you lick me one little time,

-do you promise to behave?
-Uh--Uh, yes.

Okay. Well, I get especially moist here.

-Oh. Uh--
-(beeps)

Oh! Hello, Richard.

You're here. Hello, dust mite.

Would you like me to perspire for you?

-(toilet flushes)
-Uh, that's okay.

Richard, uh, there is a man in the office.
He says it's important.

-Uh, now?
-I think he mentioned that he was...

your father.

My--

Oop. Bugger. Fell off.

-Dad?
-Son.

Hi. Uh--Oh.

Um--

Okay.

-Uh--(chuckles) Hi, Dad.
-Hello, Son.

-How--How's Mom?
-Oh, she's fine.

Listen. I'm, uh-- I'm in
a little bit of a jam.

-Oh?
-I'm, uh-- Well, I've been sued.

-You--Sued?
-Bygones.

My lawyer thought he could handle it.

The problem is my lawyer turns out to be a
clunker. The trial starts tomorrow.

Now he's saying I should settle.

Settle for a lot more than I can afford to
settle for. Bugger.

The funny thing is, it's right in your
firm's wheelhouse.

So, well, here I am.

Well, uh, what have you been,
uh, sued for?

Sexual harassment.
I fell in love with my secretary. Bugger.

So I fired her, and now she's suing me.
Bygones.

Can you help me, Son?
The whole thing seems so unconstitutional.

Pursuit of happiness. Res ipsa.

Search and "Caesar."
It's all-- It's all right there.

Oh, she's running a fever of 102.

I--I think I'm-- I'm just gonna...

-have to stay home with her.
-Mmm.

-How are you doing?
-I'm okay. I'm okay.

I mean, you know, about Victor.

Oh. Well, you know, that was for the best,
but thank you very much for prying.

I wasn't just prying, Ally.
I do care about you.

-I know.
-Okay.

Is there... anything else you need?

Um, no. No. Thank you.
I think I have everything.

Okay.

Is there something maybe you need, Elaine?

Well, um,

I know this is gonna sound really stupid,

but they're doing a revival of A Chorus
Line to open here in Boston,

-and then go on tour.
-Mm-hmm.

There's an open tryout,
and I was thinking--

I mean, I'll never get it, of course,

but I thought, if you didn't mind, I would
really like to go to that open tryout.

It would mean missing this afternoon, and
a few other days, if I got called back,

which I never would, of course,
but, um, is it okay?

Well, it sounds like something
you really want to do.

-It is.
-Well, yeah. It's okay.

Thank you.

(chuckles) I mean, I'll never get it,
of course, but...

thank you.

So the reason you gave
was that you loved her?

-Yes. Oh. Bit of soot.
-Oh!

-Twenty-nine. Spinner.
-Dad.

This little thing is nasty hot.

Dad. N--Now,

-with your secretary, did you ever--
-No.

I-I was completely appropriate with her.

Other than a few wattle swipes,
I was professional.

I was afraid I-- I might lose myself,
'cause she's just so--

So I had to fire her. I didn't want to do
anything I'd regret.

Well, Mr. Fish,

I really don't think you can discharge a
woman because you love her.

Well, what am I gonna do?
She wants $300,000.

She's suing me personally, so my
homeowner's doesn't cover it.

Plus your mother.
I mean, if she ever found out--

-You know her, Richard.
-Right. My mother.

Okay. Look. Can you let me and Fishy
discuss this a minute?

Sure. "Fishy."

Uh, uh, bygones. It's--

I'll hold. I ain't holdin' long.

Is that thing permanently
attached to your head?

Oh, and there's nothing artificial
attached to your head.

Yeah. Call Jacobs back.

Tell Walters that I died.
I'll talk to Mathers.

What are you doing?

It doesn't concern you, Nelle.

-This is a law firm.

When it begins to sound
like a disco, I get concerned.

(chuckles) I'm trying out
for A Chorus Line.

What chorus line?

The A Chorus Line.

They're doing a revival.
There's an open audition.

What?

When are you gonna give up this nonsense?

Look, Nelle. I didn't ask for your input.

I've already cleared this with Ally,
who you'll remember is a partner.

You'll also remember that you're not.

It's impossible, Liza.
He's got no defense.

-A jury might smack him for more than 300.
-You're not focusing, Richard.

-Oh. Uh, on what?
-Jurors are people.

In the end,
they don't always follow the law.

-They follow this.
-Oh, your breast.

-Their hearts.
-Oh.

Look at me, Fishy.

Look into my eyes.

Do you know why God gave me big eyes?

-I--
-Fishy.

The better to see me.
My eyes are like windows.

The jury will see into my heart.

My "pure as the driven snow" soul.

-Right.
-And they'll follow me.

And that's why your father has a chance.

-Do I have a chance?
-Look into my windows.

Oh, yeah. Um--Mmm.

Do you see it? You and me?

No.

But if you reach into my bulkhead,
you can feel it.

-That was vulgar.
-(chuckles)

Now, as I go into court today to defend
your dad, you don't want me to be vulgar.

-Do you? No.
-No.

You look like a little, itty-bitty boy.

So cute.

And so hard to say no.

Here.

Have your thumb,

little, itty-bitty boy.

Okay. You'll each be given a number when
you give us your sheet music.

When your number's called,
get your can onstage.

The conductor will give you about five
seconds before he starts.

We've got a lot of folks here, people,
so let's not waste time.

If the director says "Thank you" or "Okay"
or "Stop," you're done.

Just exit stage left, and for callbacks,
we'll let you know,

and they'll also be
posted outside the theater.

Thank you all very much for coming, and
good luck to each of you.

(bones cracking)

Claire? What are you doing here?

-Oh, Elaine, hello.
-What are you doing here, Claire?

I've come for my brush with stardom.

You see, I thought, before I go,

well, it would be rather nice
to come out of my shell.

The truth is, you've helped me, Elaine.
You've inspired me.

Twenty-seven. Sheet music.

Thank you. Twenty-eight.

-Thank you.
-Well, if it can't be me, I hope it's you.

It's a career, executive secretary,

and I took mine very seriously.

And what started to go wrong, Ms. Stewart?

Well,

at first, he would just sort of...
smell me,

comment on my perfume.

Then he started touching me,
mainly on the throat.

And he hovered so.

Finally, I confronted him on it, and he
told me he'd fallen in love with me.

Then he fired me.

He said that was the reason for
terminating your employment?

Yes.

The funny thing is, at age 15 on,

we learn the little things
that attract men.

I bet you've attracted your share,
Ms. Stewart.

-You are quite beautiful.
-Thank you,

but that doesn't mean
I should lose my job.

-Are you married?
-No. I hope to be someday.

-How many times?
-Well, once.

Odds on that.

Statistically, most marriages fail.

-I'm sure you know that.
-(door opens)

They fail because they're fragile,

and most people don't treat them as such.

Marriages, relationships-- they should be
handled with care. Don't you agree?

Does counsel have a relevant question
for my client?

When you do get married,

do you think you'd be okay...

with your husband working side by side
every day with another woman,

who he happens to be in love with?

A beautiful woman at that.

I don't think that woman should be
punished just because--

No, no, no. That wasn't my question.
My question was,

would you want your husband working
alongside a beautiful woman...

that he was falling in love with?

-No. Of course not.
-And if he were to...

treat your marriage with respect,
uh, with care,

might it be a good idea for him to have
this woman work elsewhere?

But if she didn't do anything wrong,
then I don't think that--

Given the choice of pleasing his secretary
or his wife,

who should a husband choose?

That's all I have.

There's a very angry woman in back.
Do we know her?

Excellent. That would be my mother.

Oh, no.

Look. Honey, nothing happened.

You fell in love with your secretary.
That is something, Charlie.

But that's why I fired her. Love without
sex is an empty experience.

Senior Fishism.

Why didn't you tell me about this lawsuit?

-Because I knew it would upset you.
-Oh!

Maybe we should give them
a little privacy.

Not a good idea to leave them alone.

Look. I'm in court because of fidelity
to you, Ellen.

You're in court because
you fell for your secretary.

Dad. W-- We're due in court.

I'll get him.

(exhales)

(sighs)

So, how's it goin'?

"How's it going"?

Mom, nothing happened, uh, between them.

Given his track record,
what-what's the big deal here?

I'll tell you the big deal.

The big deal is that it was very difficult

to stay with him during all of his
affairs.

It was undignified
for me to stay with him,

and I did so for you
and for your sisters...

and because I could cling to that I was
the one he loved,

no matter what the hell--

I was the one he loved.

That was my claim.

What do I stake my claim on
today, Richard?

-(hubcap rattling)

Well, I didn't want to be inappropriate.

And I certainly didn't
want to be disloyal to my wife.

So, as I found myself having feelings,

I thought I'd better
take preventative steps.

So, to paraphrase your testimony,

firing Ms. Stewart was an act of love,

an incredible gesture of love
and commitment to your wife.

Excuse me. That paraphrasing
was a little liberal.

I apologize.

Mr. Fish, let's be fair.

This was your problem,
not Molly Stewart's.

You were the one
struggling with your feelings.

Why shouldn't you be
the one to change jobs?

Why shouldn't you be
the one to go elsewhere?

Is there a reason
Molly Stewart had to leave?

Well, i-it's... my company.

Oh!

Well, now, of course, it makes perfect
sense. Say it with me.

-Duh.
-Objection.

(LIZA) Your Honor, I'd like to do
something slightly unorthodox here.

I'd like to call cocounsel
as my next witness.

I beg your pardon?

Well, this is the defendant's son,

and I think it's possible genetics
could be a factor here.

Genetics? How?

Well, that's why I want to call the son,
so I can show you.

It'll just take a sec.

(exhales)

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Oh. Hello.

Do I know you?

Well, I auditioned earlier.

Oh, yes. "Dance: 10; Looks: 3." Yeah.

-You were very good.
-Oh. Thank you.

-Bye.
-Uh, excuse me.

You really were good.

I-I'm sorry. Your name?

Elaine. Uh, Elaine Vassal.

Elaine. Yeah. You had no résumé,
no experience.

-That's why you didn't make the cut.
-(chuckles) Oh.

So you need experience
in order to get experience.

Well, look. We have a very short
rehearsal--

This was an open audition.

How many people came in with résumés?

You saw what I can do.
Isn't that the whole point?

Otherwise, people could
just fax in their tryouts.

Are you a lawyer?

No. But I work for one.

Uh-huh.

Look. I don't have time
to talk about it right now.

Yeah, fine.

But if you'd like to get dinner--

(LIZA) This is going to be a little
bit difficult, Richard,

because I might have to ask you to reveal
some private thoughts.

Oh. (chuckles)

Now you've heard your father...

talk about how he struggled
a little bit with lust.

Has that ever happened to you?

-(RICHARD) Well, uh, sometimes.
-In fact,

you told me a former girlfriend of yours
said you were governed by--What was it?

Uh, my dumb stick.

-(microphone feedback)
-Oh.

(LIZA) Specifically, the way
your father started to...

obsess over a coworker
he worked closely with,

where it got to the point
that he had to do something,

to be so close to her
and not fall in love, uh,

became impossible.

Has that happened to you?

Yes.

Recently?

Yes.

(LIZA) Now, I know you're not married.

But if you were, however happily,

can you see yourself...

working side by side with me,

sometimes late at night,

and still staying faithful to your wife?

No.

I'd have to go, wouldn't I?

Yeah.

(LIZA) I can see you're struggling now.

Would you like to take a break,

so you can go off somewhere
and reach into your bulkhead?

W--Uh, yes.

(elevator bell dings)

That was embarrassing, Liza.

I'm just trying to show
a genetic predisposition--

That what? We're more likely
to become obsessed?

We have to paint your father
as a victim, if we can.

-Otherwise--
-You didn't have to refer to my bulkhead.

Richard. (scoffs) Look.

-We are trying to win a case.
-Dad.

Dad, wh-what--
I thought you were going home.

What--What's wrong?

She filed for divorce.

She--What?

Your mother.

She's leaving me.

(sighs)

-You're blaming me?
-Yes, I'm blaming you.

That little seduction thing in court.
My mother watched that.

She could only imagine that--
Yes, I'm blaming you.

Richard, we're in there
trying to win a lawsuit.

-Okay, I can't be worried about--
-Well, I'm worried about it.

They're my-- They're my parents. I--

I--I'm sorry.

They're 60 years old.
What are they gonna do? Die alone?

No.

No. No. Listen. Why don't you go
talk to your mother?

She's obviously acting on
a lot of hurt right now.

Do you talk to your parents, Richard?

Uh, I--

'Cause, if you'd like,
I'll speak with her.

No. I'll-I'll-- I'll talk to her.
(mutters)

-(Elaine laughing)
-(man speaks, indistinct)

And you never danced professionally?

-No.
-And you never studied?

In high school a little, but mostly I just
really love to do it.

Every day, after school, in my room,

I'd put on the music, and off I'd go.

-So, at 30--30 what?
-Thirty's good.

At 30, you decide to go try out for
a professional tour,

of one of the greatest dance musicals
ever mounted.

(chuckles) Yes.

-And you did so with high expectations.
-You don't understand.

I may not have actual experience, but...

I've danced every day,

with a dream basically
that's been on hold.

If this is your dream,
why not move to New York?

I've been thinking about that, actually.

Thinking of it? Elaine, you're 30.

-Ah--
-Something.

If you're gonna walk this plank,
it better be soon.

It was today, Miles.

I walked it today.

And I think I earned a callback.

I have put up with a lot
through the years, Richard.

I don't think I need to tell you.

Your father has an infinite capacity
for boorish behavior.

His womanizing, his--

When you said "dumb stick"
on the stand today--

your father has always been ruled by that
part of his anatomy.

-You were named after it.
-Excellent. Glad to know that.

But like I said, I always endured...

because I felt he could
never love another woman.

But, Mom, people lust all the time.

It's whether they act or-- I just think,
wh-what are you gonna do? Live alone?

What kind of a life is that?

Why don't you tell me, dear?

Richard, you've never been married and
never lived with anyone.

You never had a true partner.

You tell me. What kind of life is alone?

I don't recommend it, Mom.

You know what?

You are just like him,
and you know you are.

That little, uh, Liza thing.
You're in love with her, why?

(chuckles) Well, she's nasty.

Uh, good fun.

Uh, she's-she's smart and compassionate.

I go for givers.

You have some sexual craving.

When I look at you, my heart breaks,

because I know you'll always be alone.

You are incapable of truly loving another,
and...

I have to accept that as my failing.

I will love somebody.

Who? Ling? Liza? Whipper?

Look at your pattern, Richard.
You're a chip off the old block.

-Ow. Hey!
-What?

Did you see me?

What? Am I the only person here with eyes?

You're the one blitzing like a linebacker.

Leave me alone. Could you do that, please?

Why are you such a bitch?

What is wrong with you?

-(door slams)
-What did you say?

I didn't-- Why is it always me?

Because it is.

(exhales sharply)

-Are you dying?
-No. I'm not.

(exhales) What's going on?

I went out with the director last night.

-The director--
-Of the musical I tried out for.

I went to his hotel, and I slept with him,
after which...

he asked me to leave,
since he had an early morning.

Did you sleep with him to get a callback?

No. I really liked him.

Ah. So you're feeling stupid.

I'm feeling like a loser.

And you know something else?

At my audition, I didn't even go all out.

I picked a safe "tits and ass" song.

-I didn't dance-- not like I can.
-Why not?

I don't know. Probably so I'd have this
excuse after not making it.

What's this director's name?

Oh, why?

I'd just like to know.

W--Wait a second. She hired a lawyer?

No. No, she doesn't even know I'm here.

-Why are you here?
-Are you gonna call her again?

I don't know. Why?

Mr. Josephson, I know
what men tend to think...

of women who sleep with them
on the first date.

-Excuse me.
-Since you don't know me at all,

I don't think you should
presume to know what I think.

(exhales)

I-I will tell you Elaine and I had
a nice time last night.

-Obviously you know how it ended.
-I'm not here to fight.

I'm sorry. I realize I've already asked
this twice, but why are you here?

Oh.

She's an extraordinary woman,

with extraordinary hopes, both personally
and professionally.

I guess if you're not gonna call her
again personally,

or even if you are, could you at least...

-call her back to--
-Oh--

No. I--From what I understand, you haven't
even seen her dance.

-Not the way she can.
-I'm-- I'm a little uncomfortable...

bringing someone in simply because of
a personal relationship.

I understand. So, uh, maybe you could
take my word for it and...

invite her back.

She really is very talented.

(woman) And...

-five, six, seven, eight.
-Please?

What'd she say?

Uh, it doesn't look good. Yeah.

So, you-- you're working on the--
the closing.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, let's at least bail him out
of this lawsuit if we can.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Yeah. Oh, that's yours there. So--

Richard.

Hmm?

Do your parents love each other?

Yeah, well, of course they do.
They love each other a lot.

I mean, why else--

Wh-Why--Why do-- Why do you ask?

I was just curious.

-Oh.
-Uh, look. Can we get your mother...

in the room for closing?

It's important that the jury at least
think she supports him.

Right. Okay.

So, I'll-- I'll see you there?

Right. Well--

Could I speak with you for a second,
please?

Why?

-What did you do?
-I didn't do anything.

I just got a call from Miles, and he said
I could come back in to try out again.

Then he went on to say that I had a pretty
good friend in you. What did you do?

I just went there and asked him
to call you back because--

Forget it.

-Elaine.
-(door slams)

I don't need your charity.
And I don't need his pity.

All I did was suggest to him

that he hadn't really seen you dance
to your potential...

and that maybe he could
at least give you that chance.

That's hardly charity,
and it certainly isn't pity.

(sighs) Look, Elaine.

It doesn't matter to me
one way or the other.

Then why did you go there?

Because it matters to you.

And chances-- despite what
our parents tell us--

they don't come in unlimited supply.

(sighs)

Look, Elaine.

I'm jealous of you.

The way you have dance,

something to believe in.

I have no passion in my life.

I--I don't mean a man. I mean something--

(sighs)

You say this isn't
something you expected to get,

but you needed to know for yourself
that you went for it.

So do that, Elaine.
Go back to that theater and go for it.

And this time,

really dance.

Nothing's in dispute here.

The defendant admitted in his testimony...

the discharge was predicated solely on his
personal feelings for the plaintiff.

That is an unlawful termination,
ladies and gentlemen.

And as illegal as it is, it's also unfair.

This woman performed her job well.

Her behavior was beyond reproach,

and she was fired because her boss became
too attracted to her.

Never mind the law, people.

Go back to that room
and do the moral thing.

For once,

let's do the moral thing.

We are here today, in part,

because Mr. Fish became
attracted to the plaintiff.

But mainly we're here because this man...

is profoundly in love with his wife.

We are here because my client didn't want
to jeopardize that love.

Now, personally, I've never been a wife.

And maybe Mr. Fishy Sr. has been
a very imperfect spouse.

Who knows?

But what I do know
is that when I get married--

and I very much plan to--

I want a partner who will
put that marriage first.

Was this discharge legal?

Well, that's your call.

Fair? I'm sure, from where the plaintiff
sits, not at all.

But moral? When you love somebody deeply,

being loyal to that love is the most moral
thing you can do.

Charles Fish couldn't leave the company.

He owns it.

There was no place to transfer the
plaintiff within the company.

It's too small.

His choice-- his only choice--

was to either continue
working side by side...

with a woman he was
developing feelings for...

or to prioritize his marriage.

If you knew the power of the love
he has for his wife,

you'd know that there was really
no choice at all.

Forty years of marriage,

and she still means everything to him.

Maybe what he did was technically wrongful
under the law.

But here sits...

a very, very moral man.

Mr. Foreman, has the jury
reached a verdict?

-We have, Your Honor.
-What say you?

In the matter of Stewart versus Charles
Fish and the Fish Industries,

we find in favor of the plaintiff...

and order the defendant to pay damages
in the amount of $68,000.

(WALSH) Ladies and gentlemen of the jury--

A year's severance pay.

-We're adjourned.
-Well, that's not so bad.

Compared to what could have happened,
I'm thrilled. Thank you, Liza.

Well, uh, you dodged one.

From now on, first rule of management:
Hire, uh, ugly assistants. Fishism.

-Got it. Now, my divorce?
-Uh--

(clears throat)

Do I need a divorce lawyer?

I was moved by her closing.

Not by anything you said.

Why do I have to hear it from her,
Charlie?

Ellen,

everything I've learned
about expressing feelings,

I've learned from Richard.

Bygones.

But if it's expression you want,

how's about us getting married?

-Excuse me?
-Renew our vows.

-Would you be best man, Son?
-She hasn't said yes yet.

Well--Honey?

Would you marry me, again?

(inhales, exhales deeply)
Why do I always forgive you?

Because you love me?

As much as I love you.

(sobbing)

(elevator bell dings)

(chattering)

(chuckles)

I-I didn't get it.

It turns out they already cast that part.

But I was good enough.

And you went for it.
You'll always have that.

-I was there.
-You were?

-And you were amazing.
-Thank you.

You know, maybe you didn't get it this
time, but the day is coming.

I can't believe it.

I really owe you.

Owe me? For what?

That closing was designed to bring them
back together as much

as it was to win the case.

Well, win-win.

Win-win-win, actually.

What's the third?

The third'll have you
quickly hailing a cab.

I don't follow.

Uh,

my mother accused me of something that I--

Well--

This little fixation
of mine on you, uh, Liza--

it isn't just sexual.

You probably don't
want to hear this, but I--

I'm falling in love with you.

You see, uh, I have started to see inside
those windows of yours--

Taxi!

Get in.
