Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,583 --> 00:00:13,417
When a man turns 40,
he begins to take measure of himself.
2
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:15,792
I must admit I don't like what I see.
3
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:17,917
You're turning 43.
4
00:00:20,291 --> 00:00:23,208
If you don't mind,
I'm trying to appear vulnerable
5
00:00:23,291 --> 00:00:27,166
to facilitate my snorkeling up
your thigh bone later.
6
00:00:28,208 --> 00:00:31,750
Alan, you boyfriend, me girlfriend.
7
00:00:32,458 --> 00:00:33,667
You have a season's pass.
8
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:38,625
You're ruining the conquest part,
which is all it's really about for me.
9
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:39,750
Really?
10
00:00:40,458 --> 00:00:42,542
Well, how about
a little play-acting, then?
11
00:00:42,625 --> 00:00:45,500
Only if this time, I get to be the sheep.
12
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:49,959
I'm gonna sit over there
and pretend to be alone.
13
00:00:51,083 --> 00:00:53,000
And you're gonna approach me,
being the stranger that you are,
14
00:00:53,083 --> 00:00:53,917
and conquest me.
15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,458
-Don't be silly.
-No.
16
00:00:55,542 --> 00:00:58,875
I'd like to see how you operate,
Mr. Shore.
17
00:01:17,375 --> 00:01:18,583
How you doing?
18
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:20,417
Fine, thank you.
19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:21,959
I'm Joe.
20
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:23,750
I'm with somebody.
21
00:01:25,125 --> 00:01:26,291
Who?
22
00:01:26,375 --> 00:01:28,417
Hello, I'm a complete stranger.
23
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:29,875
And I'm here to pick you up.
24
00:01:32,542 --> 00:01:34,917
Oh, I see. There's two of us.
25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
I'll be evens, you be odds.
26
00:01:37,083 --> 00:01:38,667
You got a problem?
27
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:40,166
No, actually.
28
00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:44,125
I just saw this fair maiden here,
talking to a tree trunk.
29
00:01:44,208 --> 00:01:47,166
And since I'm an arborist,
I thought I could help translate.
30
00:01:47,792 --> 00:01:49,542
Here's a health tip...
31
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:51,166
walk away.
32
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:52,792
-Why would I do that?
-All right, guys.
33
00:01:52,875 --> 00:01:55,458
Don't be deceived by my cushy appearance.
34
00:01:55,542 --> 00:01:58,458
Excuse me. I actually am with him.
35
00:01:58,542 --> 00:01:59,583
I don't care.
36
00:01:59,667 --> 00:02:02,250
Walk away, or I lay you out.
37
00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:06,000
I don't mean to be a stickler,
but isn't the object to lay her out?
38
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:07,917
Hey!
39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Oh, jee, I'm sorry,
I was reaching for my wallet.
40
00:02:11,959 --> 00:02:12,875
I see.
41
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,250
Allow me to reach for mine.
42
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:21,041
-Are you all right?
-Fine.
43
00:02:21,792 --> 00:02:23,500
Hello, big people.
44
00:02:23,583 --> 00:02:26,500
Sorry to intrude,
but you seem rather strapping.
45
00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:31,000
Here's 300 dollars. Would you be so kind
as to go hit that man down there?
46
00:02:33,417 --> 00:02:34,417
Really?
47
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:35,333
Alan.
48
00:02:35,417 --> 00:02:37,125
There's an extra 100 if he goes down.
49
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:38,750
Yeah.
50
00:02:38,834 --> 00:02:40,500
-You're on.
-Go.
51
00:02:40,583 --> 00:02:41,917
Make it a good one.
52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,250
Oh, for God's sakes.
53
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:46,667
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
54
00:02:56,625 --> 00:02:58,709
Here's 100, go help your friend.
55
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:07,125
Jee, it seems Joe has buddies.
56
00:03:07,208 --> 00:03:09,959
One for you, one for you.
57
00:03:10,041 --> 00:03:11,458
I got plenty of them.
58
00:03:13,417 --> 00:03:14,542
Hit them hard now.
59
00:03:14,625 --> 00:03:16,208
For you and for you.
60
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,625
You don't think the evening
was slightly symptomatic of something?
61
00:04:05,709 --> 00:04:08,375
You take me to a college frat bar,
and you start a fight.
62
00:04:08,458 --> 00:04:10,542
-I did not start it.
-You certainly did start it.
63
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:12,083
Alan, wonderful news.
64
00:04:12,166 --> 00:04:14,208
The Kerwin deposition has been canceled.
65
00:04:14,291 --> 00:04:15,125
You don't have to go.
66
00:04:15,208 --> 00:04:17,583
Your morning is now free. Which works out
67
00:04:17,667 --> 00:04:20,875
because it seems these two police officers
are here to arrest you.
68
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:21,834
Are you Alan Shore?
69
00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:24,792
My, aren't you clever?
70
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:27,417
I bet you make detective one day.
71
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,583
Was my calling him "Alan" a clue?
72
00:04:30,792 --> 00:04:33,458
-Please place your hands behind your back.
-Why?
73
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:35,709
Sir, please. You're under arrest
74
00:04:35,792 --> 00:04:37,500
for conspiracy
to commit assault and battery.
75
00:04:37,583 --> 00:04:39,166
You have the right to remain silent.
76
00:04:39,250 --> 00:04:42,625
You have it all memorized.
Aren't you the spiffy jiffy?
77
00:04:43,792 --> 00:04:45,125
And a sharp dresser.
78
00:04:46,291 --> 00:04:47,959
You have the right to an attorney.
79
00:04:48,041 --> 00:04:49,917
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed to you...
80
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,750
Not to worry, dear.
I'll cancel the rest of your day.
81
00:05:04,709 --> 00:05:07,208
{\an8}-And inan unprecedented, if not bizarre move,
82
00:05:07,291 --> 00:05:09,333
{\an8}the selectmen of Summersport,Massachusetts,
83
00:05:09,417 --> 00:05:12,667
{\an8}a small south shore townpopulation of 18,000,
84
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:16,083
voted six to two yesterdayto ban red meat.
85
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:21,500
{\an8}As of midnight, it is now illegalto serve or sell beef within the township.
86
00:05:21,583 --> 00:05:25,542
{\an8}Mayor George Bostwick calling the lawa health and safety regulation.
87
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,417
God, health and safety.
88
00:05:27,834 --> 00:05:30,083
Did they not call a town meeting
to discuss this?
89
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:33,000
{\an8}Well, they did.
And nobody really took it that seriously.
90
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:34,834
{\an8}But the mayor controls the selectmen,
91
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:37,917
{\an8}and this is exactly the publicity
he's hoping to buy.
92
00:05:38,875 --> 00:05:41,083
{\an8}In the meantime,
my steak house is out of business.
93
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:43,166
{\an8}How can you ban red meat?
94
00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:45,125
{\an8}-Well, they got
a whole campaign they're gonna go with it.
95
00:05:45,208 --> 00:05:48,125
{\an8}They plan to promote Summersport
as the seafood capital of the world.
96
00:05:48,208 --> 00:05:49,917
We're carnivores.
97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,166
When the pilgrims landed,
98
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:52,834
the first thing they did
was eat a few Indians.
99
00:05:54,875 --> 00:05:57,375
-Is there anything we can do?
-We'll get an immediate TRO.
100
00:05:57,458 --> 00:05:58,875
I'll argue it myself.
101
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,625
"Ban red meat."
That cannot pass constitutional mustard.
102
00:06:03,291 --> 00:06:06,166
The word is "muster," Denny.
But you're right.
103
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:07,458
The law lacks condiments.
104
00:06:07,542 --> 00:06:10,291
Let's mark up a motion and get going,
and let's do it in Suffolk.
105
00:06:10,375 --> 00:06:13,125
{\an8}We should contact the owners
of the other affected restaurants,
106
00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:14,333
{\an8}and have them join us.
107
00:06:17,375 --> 00:06:19,333
"32744.
108
00:06:19,417 --> 00:06:23,291
Commonwealth versus Alan Shore,
conspiracy to commit battery."
109
00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:26,083
Tara Wilson for the defendant, Your Honor.
We'll waive reading.
110
00:06:26,166 --> 00:06:27,875
I shouldn't think
there'll be any question of bail.
111
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:28,834
What have we got here?
112
00:06:28,917 --> 00:06:31,125
He, uh, paid some guys in a bar
to assault another guy.
113
00:06:31,208 --> 00:06:33,125
Judge, the guy insulted my honor.
114
00:06:33,208 --> 00:06:35,875
I was required by the Canons
of Bar Room Conduct to respond.
115
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:39,166
This being America,
I simply enlisted unsuspecting warriors
116
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:41,000
who had no idea
what I was getting them into.
117
00:06:41,083 --> 00:06:42,417
Was anybody hurt?
118
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:43,750
{\an8}Cuts and bruises.
119
00:06:43,834 --> 00:06:45,125
{\an8}There was some damage to the bar.
120
00:06:45,208 --> 00:06:47,000
{\an8}My suggestion is
we admit to sufficient facts
121
00:06:47,083 --> 00:06:48,834
{\an8}so you'll continue it without a finding.
122
00:06:48,917 --> 00:06:51,417
My client makes full restitution
to the bar.
123
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:52,583
That's not gonna fly.
124
00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:54,709
{\an8}It was self-defense. Mr. Shore was hit.
125
00:06:54,792 --> 00:06:57,542
{\an8}That fact that he hired others
to do the hitting back doesn't preclude--
126
00:06:57,625 --> 00:07:00,583
You want a "not guilty," counsel,
you need a trial.
127
00:07:00,667 --> 00:07:01,875
We could do it today.
128
00:07:02,875 --> 00:07:04,291
You're ready to proceed now?
129
00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:06,667
I'll stipulate to all the facts
in the police report,
130
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:09,125
though I must take issue
with some of the spelling.
131
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,291
{\an8}If he stips to the facts,
I could be ready tomorrow.
132
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:17,208
{\an8}Jury trial, of course. I can provide
the court with a list of my closest peers.
133
00:07:17,291 --> 00:07:21,875
I leave for Aspen on Wednesday.
So we will complete this in one day.
134
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:23,166
Ten o'clock tomorrow.
135
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:26,625
{\an8}The defendant is released
on personal recognizance.
136
00:07:26,709 --> 00:07:27,709
Mr. Shore.
137
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:33,417
{\an8}It would be a big mistake
to come in here thinking this is funny.
138
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:39,041
{\an8}You mean it's not funny?
139
00:07:45,083 --> 00:07:47,000
You cannot just ban red meat.
140
00:07:47,083 --> 00:07:49,417
Any municipality can pass
reasonable health regulations.
141
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,417
Yes, let's just pause on that word
"reasonable."
142
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,750
Many towns are dry,
forbidding the sale of alcohol.
143
00:07:53,834 --> 00:07:55,667
There is an enormous difference
between the sale--
144
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:57,458
{\an8}Hold on one second, Miss Schmidt.
145
00:07:58,083 --> 00:08:00,417
{\an8}In my courtroom,
we allow counsel to finish their thoughts.
146
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,709
{\an8}-We do not--
If I could interrupt.
147
00:08:02,792 --> 00:08:05,959
{\an8}The author of this particular
and preposterous legislation
148
00:08:06,041 --> 00:08:09,208
happens to be both politically ambitious
and a glutton for publicity,
149
00:08:09,291 --> 00:08:12,166
which this new law, funny thing,
happens to be generating.
150
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:14,542
Red meat poses legitimate health concerns.
151
00:08:14,625 --> 00:08:16,417
So do overzealous elected officials.
152
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:18,166
We don't just ban them. If only we could.
153
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:20,250
Now, I shall do the interrupting.
154
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:23,542
If nothing else, I pride myself on being
a conscientious fact finder.
155
00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:25,000
Oh, brother.
156
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:28,333
Mr. Crane, did you say something?
157
00:08:28,917 --> 00:08:31,375
It's a stupid law. Overturn it. Be a man.
158
00:08:34,291 --> 00:08:37,750
Mr. Crane was trying to be helpful.
Apparently, he did not succeed.
159
00:08:37,834 --> 00:08:41,542
{\an8}What is the reason, specifically for
your client banning the sale of red meat?
160
00:08:41,625 --> 00:08:44,583
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
161
00:08:47,250 --> 00:08:48,834
Mad cow disease.
162
00:08:48,917 --> 00:08:50,458
We're fearful of an outbreak.
163
00:08:50,542 --> 00:08:52,041
{\an8}-In Summersport?
Everywhere.
164
00:08:52,125 --> 00:08:53,250
That's ridiculous.
165
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:55,583
Very well,
we shall hold an evidentiary hearing.
166
00:08:55,667 --> 00:08:57,458
First person I shall hear from
is the mayor.
167
00:08:57,542 --> 00:09:00,875
Then, Miss Schmidt, if you so desire,
I shall listen to your client.
168
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:02,375
Until then, we are adjourned.
169
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:03,834
Put on a dress.
170
00:09:05,959 --> 00:09:06,875
Two o'clock!
171
00:09:11,917 --> 00:09:13,792
What are you doing?
172
00:09:13,875 --> 00:09:15,875
I know this judge.
I know where his buttons are.
173
00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:17,542
Research shows, Denny,
174
00:09:17,625 --> 00:09:21,500
it's not wise to antagonize the people
whose favor you're trying to court.
175
00:09:21,583 --> 00:09:23,875
Oh, come on, Shirley.
You still antagonize me.
176
00:09:23,959 --> 00:09:26,834
And we both know what's really going on,
don't we?
177
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,875
You sweet man.
178
00:09:32,792 --> 00:09:35,750
It's been a long time
since you hit my button.
179
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:39,750
I doubt you'd even know where to find it.
180
00:09:42,375 --> 00:09:44,125
Just a matter of time, Shirley.
181
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:45,959
Just a matter of time.
182
00:09:48,834 --> 00:09:50,750
This doesn't involve you, man,
it's sexual.
183
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,333
I thought you said the judge would strike
the law down.
184
00:09:54,417 --> 00:09:56,083
I just got a little tougher, Dominick.
185
00:09:56,208 --> 00:09:58,458
They played the mad cow card.
186
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:14,208
Sometimes a mayor has to do what's right,
187
00:10:14,291 --> 00:10:15,583
even if it isn't popular.
188
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:17,208
Red meat presents risks...
189
00:10:17,291 --> 00:10:19,458
...which I, as the guardian
of my constituency,
190
00:10:19,542 --> 00:10:21,417
am unwilling to assume.
191
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:26,208
Legislation is capricious on its face.
That'll be our only comment at this time.
192
00:10:26,291 --> 00:10:27,500
Pop goes the weasel.
193
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:28,959
How are you? Denny Crane.
194
00:10:29,041 --> 00:10:30,667
Still cuckoo for cuckoo puffs.
195
00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:33,834
Who's your daddy? Denny crane.
196
00:10:33,917 --> 00:10:35,125
Pop goes the weasel.
197
00:10:36,875 --> 00:10:40,291
Simply put, I don't think
we can guarantee the safety of beef.
198
00:10:40,375 --> 00:10:41,333
Why not?
199
00:10:41,458 --> 00:10:43,834
Well, for starters,
we just lifted the ban on Canadian cattle,
200
00:10:43,917 --> 00:10:47,375
where mad cow disease
was just found again.
201
00:10:48,667 --> 00:10:51,250
The percentage of mad cow
in Canada is statistically...
202
00:10:51,333 --> 00:10:52,959
But, but why take chances?
203
00:10:53,041 --> 00:10:58,250
Consider this disease, it's incurable,
it rots the brain, it's invariably fatal.
204
00:10:58,333 --> 00:11:00,208
And it's a painful death.
205
00:11:00,291 --> 00:11:04,208
But our government has assured us
there's absolutely no danger in this.
206
00:11:04,291 --> 00:11:06,792
Our government is pro-beef.
Are you kidding?
207
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,709
In the last five years,
the agriculture business
208
00:11:09,792 --> 00:11:13,208
has donated 140 million dollars
209
00:11:13,291 --> 00:11:16,000
to congressional
and presidential candidates.
210
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,959
Fast-food chains, the Cattlemen's
Beef Association, you name it.
211
00:11:19,041 --> 00:11:20,417
They've all given big bucks.
212
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,250
But the Department of Agriculture says--
213
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:25,458
Oh, please, the USDA's in the meat
industry's back pocket.
214
00:11:25,542 --> 00:11:27,250
What evidence do you have of that?
215
00:11:27,333 --> 00:11:28,500
You want evidence?
216
00:11:28,583 --> 00:11:30,750
How about the last
Secretary of Agriculture
217
00:11:30,834 --> 00:11:35,125
appointed meat industry advocates
to top jobs at the USDA?
218
00:11:35,208 --> 00:11:40,375
How about the secretary's former chief
of staff used to be the chief lobbyist
219
00:11:40,458 --> 00:11:43,500
for the National Cattlemen's
Beef Association?
220
00:11:44,041 --> 00:11:45,500
The USDA has been bought.
221
00:11:45,583 --> 00:11:47,125
Pretty strong words, Mr. Bostwick.
222
00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:50,375
-Oprah got sued for saying less.
-Well, what does that tell you?
223
00:11:50,458 --> 00:11:51,750
The meat industry gets to sue
224
00:11:51,834 --> 00:11:53,709
a talk show host
for putting down a hamburger?
225
00:11:53,792 --> 00:11:55,875
Free speech doesn't apply
when it comes to beef?
226
00:11:55,959 --> 00:11:59,542
Well, certainly, the USDA has an interest
in making meat safe?
227
00:11:59,625 --> 00:12:01,417
But they have a double mandate,
Your Honor.
228
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,083
And while one may be to keep beef safe,
229
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:07,875
the other, the bigger one,
is to promote the sale of American meat.
230
00:12:07,959 --> 00:12:12,166
You think there's a real interest in this
country in rooting out mad cow disease?
231
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:13,542
-It's don't ask, don't tell.
-Objection!
232
00:12:13,625 --> 00:12:17,583
This past April,
a cow stumbled and fell in Texas.
233
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:20,542
The vets suspected
a central nervous system disorder.
234
00:12:20,625 --> 00:12:23,250
That animal should have been tested.
It wasn't.
235
00:12:23,333 --> 00:12:25,875
It was quickly slaughtered
and put into pig feed. Why?
236
00:12:25,959 --> 00:12:29,208
Because, God forbid,
we discover mad cow disease.
237
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:31,834
It'd cost billions and billions
of dollars.
238
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:33,000
Well, I'm not gonna wait.
239
00:12:33,083 --> 00:12:35,333
If that gets me sued, so be it.
240
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,458
How many people in this country
have been afflicted
241
00:12:43,542 --> 00:12:45,959
with the human strain of mad cow disease?
242
00:12:46,041 --> 00:12:47,375
-I don't plan to--
-To wait, yes.
243
00:12:47,458 --> 00:12:48,834
-How many?
-We don't know.
244
00:12:48,917 --> 00:12:51,125
There have been no confirmed cases.
245
00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:52,667
According to some scientists,
246
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:56,208
many people we think have Alzheimer's
could, in fact, be sick from mad cow.
247
00:12:56,291 --> 00:12:58,417
-Are you a scientist, sir?
-No.
248
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:00,750
Before you became mayor,
what was your occupation?
249
00:13:00,834 --> 00:13:02,041
I owned auto dealerships.
250
00:13:02,125 --> 00:13:03,542
You were a car salesman.
251
00:13:04,125 --> 00:13:08,417
Given that three million people are killed
or injured on our roads every year,
252
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,959
-do you also plan to ban automobiles?
-No.
253
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:14,041
What about salmonella?
Any plans to criminalize chickens?
254
00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:15,625
People don't die from chickens or--
255
00:13:15,709 --> 00:13:17,125
What about mercury in fish?
256
00:13:17,709 --> 00:13:19,000
It's a concern.
257
00:13:19,083 --> 00:13:21,250
But, again, I made a judgment as mayor.
258
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:24,000
And the selectmen concurred
that the dangers of beef--
259
00:13:24,083 --> 00:13:29,375
Have you any personal political ambitions
beyond that of being mayor of Summersport?
260
00:13:29,458 --> 00:13:31,375
I'm not trying to get headlines,
if that's what you're saying.
261
00:13:31,458 --> 00:13:34,041
I didn't say that, but funny you did.
262
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:36,583
Have you got anything?
263
00:13:39,041 --> 00:13:41,875
You would agree, Mr. Mayor,
that by and large,
264
00:13:41,959 --> 00:13:43,417
vegetarians are communists.
265
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,083
I certainly would not.
266
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:46,709
We're at war, Mr. Bostwick.
267
00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:50,083
Think we can win that war if we suddenly
say to our soldiers, "no more meat"?
268
00:13:50,166 --> 00:13:53,166
Think a nation of fish-eaters
can protect the world, you wimp?
269
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,625
-Objection.
-Withdrawn. Nothing further.
270
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:56,709
"Wimp."
271
00:13:56,792 --> 00:13:59,125
What the hell are you doing?
272
00:14:00,125 --> 00:14:04,625
Don't bother with the merits, Shirley.
This case, it's all about the judge.
273
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:39,542
You asked to see us.
274
00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:41,083
Sit.
275
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:43,750
Not to worry. This is standard.
276
00:14:43,834 --> 00:14:45,250
He purposely doesn't look up.
277
00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:48,667
It's a technique taught in the '40s
for establishing dominion.
278
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:59,375
You were involved in a...
bar altercation last night?
279
00:15:00,083 --> 00:15:02,166
Altercation? I think not. It was a brawl.
280
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:07,875
-And you were arrested?
-I was. Trial starts tomorrow, actually.
281
00:15:07,959 --> 00:15:10,417
Can I count on you as a character witness?
282
00:15:11,625 --> 00:15:12,750
Who's defending you?
283
00:15:12,834 --> 00:15:15,375
I'm representing myself, with...
284
00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:17,625
Tara's assistance.
285
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:20,250
There's no opportunity to plead this out?
286
00:15:20,333 --> 00:15:23,375
Only if I plead guilty,
which is, of course, unacceptable.
287
00:15:23,458 --> 00:15:28,667
I have to worry about a three strikes law,
since I plan to commit future crimes.
288
00:15:30,542 --> 00:15:35,166
I don't know what kind of
career death wish you have, Mr. Shore.
289
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:39,625
But if you're convicted, if you get time,
your employment will be terminated.
290
00:15:39,709 --> 00:15:41,375
That may be of little consequence to you--
291
00:15:41,458 --> 00:15:44,375
If I had a nickel for every time
you've threatened to fire me,
292
00:15:44,458 --> 00:15:46,291
Paul, I could simply retire.
293
00:15:46,792 --> 00:15:48,333
Alan, cut it out.
294
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:53,291
It is not my habit to lecture.
295
00:15:54,750 --> 00:15:57,625
But what you did last night was selfish.
296
00:15:58,542 --> 00:16:00,375
We have a reputation here
297
00:16:00,458 --> 00:16:02,834
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
298
00:16:02,917 --> 00:16:06,959
The attorneys here
take great pride in that reputation.
299
00:16:07,041 --> 00:16:08,792
It undermines everyone
300
00:16:08,875 --> 00:16:10,834
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt...
301
00:16:10,917 --> 00:16:14,291
...when a lawyer here
is criminally prosecuted.
302
00:16:14,375 --> 00:16:16,959
Your actions hurt people.
303
00:16:18,083 --> 00:16:22,208
All of us must now tender explanations
304
00:16:22,625 --> 00:16:25,667
to our friends, our colleagues,
305
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:29,125
to safeguard and repair the reputation
306
00:16:29,208 --> 00:16:31,250
of Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
307
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:32,667
Stop it!
308
00:16:36,834 --> 00:16:38,417
I've had it.
309
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:44,458
Do you hear me? I have had it.
310
00:16:47,917 --> 00:16:49,750
Get out, both of you.
311
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:21,417
Personally, I would never eat meat.
312
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:22,583
Why, doctor?
313
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:24,583
We don't have the means
to keep track
314
00:17:24,667 --> 00:17:26,250
of what cattle are being fed,
315
00:17:26,333 --> 00:17:28,458
nor are we adequately testing them,
in my opinion.
316
00:17:28,542 --> 00:17:31,125
{\an8}Your Honor, I object to paranoia
being offered as evidence.
317
00:17:31,208 --> 00:17:32,166
{\an8}-I'm sorry.
318
00:17:32,250 --> 00:17:35,917
{\an8}But it's absolutely reckless for
a government to be telling us we're safe
319
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,417
when the scientific community
can't necessarily detect all the ways
320
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:42,000
this disease can be contracted
or transmitted.
321
00:17:42,083 --> 00:17:43,834
But let's look at statistics.
322
00:17:43,917 --> 00:17:47,625
Nobody in this country seems to be
getting sick from mad cows.
323
00:17:47,709 --> 00:17:49,667
Judge, we just can't know that.
324
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:53,458
The disease may have an incubation period
of up to 40 years.
325
00:17:53,542 --> 00:17:55,125
You may be infected right now.
326
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:59,875
My point is, nobody now seems
to be demonstrating symptoms.
327
00:17:59,959 --> 00:18:01,625
We don't know that for sure, either.
328
00:18:02,375 --> 00:18:06,667
The human strain of the mad cow disease
is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob.
329
00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:08,125
We call it CJD.
330
00:18:08,208 --> 00:18:12,709
But you can also get CJD sporadically,
with no link to infected meat.
331
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:17,583
And some of the people we've diagnosed
with Alzheimer's might, in fact, have CJD.
332
00:18:17,667 --> 00:18:21,125
We don't know how many cases
there really are.
333
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:24,834
You cannot tell me the government
has all this figured out.
334
00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:26,458
And the government just covers this up?
335
00:18:26,542 --> 00:18:28,583
Well, it's probably
not so much a cover-up.
336
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:31,625
It's just we're not terribly motivated
to discover the problem.
337
00:18:31,709 --> 00:18:33,500
The economic consequences
would be too severe.
338
00:18:33,583 --> 00:18:35,333
Economic consequences?
339
00:18:35,417 --> 00:18:37,959
The beef industry would risk
an outbreak of mad cow disease
340
00:18:38,041 --> 00:18:39,667
that wouldn't bankrupt them overnight?
341
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:43,083
The beef industry can't always tell
when a cow is sick.
342
00:18:43,166 --> 00:18:46,625
And they're desperate to believe
that isolated cases are isolated cases.
343
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:49,125
And the Department of Agriculture
just plays along?
344
00:18:49,208 --> 00:18:52,583
The month after that sick cow
was found in Washington State.
345
00:18:52,667 --> 00:18:57,500
Mad cow testing dropped almost 50 percent.
That's outrageous.
346
00:18:57,583 --> 00:18:58,542
It eventually went up.
347
00:18:58,625 --> 00:19:02,291
Look, they tried to track the herd
where that Washington cow came from.
348
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:05,041
They couldn't find 53 of the 80 cows.
349
00:19:05,125 --> 00:19:08,375
They've since admitted their cattle
trackback system isn't up and running.
350
00:19:08,458 --> 00:19:11,792
And it would have to be done
on a voluntary basis.
351
00:19:11,875 --> 00:19:13,208
Voluntary.
352
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:18,625
Please, what meat-packing plant wants
the distinction of having a mad cow?
353
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:22,291
Which is why I order the fish.
354
00:19:27,375 --> 00:19:28,834
-Denny.
-Hmm?
355
00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:30,291
I'm getting my ass kicked here.
356
00:19:30,375 --> 00:19:32,291
-I can see that.
-Any suggestions?
357
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:38,875
-How old are you, sir?
-46.
358
00:19:38,959 --> 00:19:41,959
I'm 72. And I can mop the floor with you.
You know why?
359
00:19:42,041 --> 00:19:43,709
I eat meat.
360
00:19:43,792 --> 00:19:46,083
Makes me strong,
builds up my immune system,
361
00:19:46,166 --> 00:19:49,709
fights off a whole bunch of other diseases
I might have had if I weren't so strong.
362
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:54,917
Red meat saves lives, baby.
You ever think about that?
363
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,458
I'm sorry, but there's no real evidence
to support that opinion.
364
00:19:59,291 --> 00:20:00,417
Oh, I'm sorry.
365
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:03,625
Any hard evidence to support yours?
366
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:06,625
Hard evidence, no.
367
00:20:10,291 --> 00:20:13,375
But I don't think we really wanna wait
for that evidence to come rushing in.
368
00:20:19,959 --> 00:20:23,333
I had him there. Right till the end.
369
00:20:26,875 --> 00:20:29,500
He basically offered us
a hundred dollars to fight.
370
00:20:29,583 --> 00:20:31,208
-You took the money.
-Yes.
371
00:20:31,291 --> 00:20:33,000
-And you fought.
-Yes.
372
00:20:33,083 --> 00:20:35,041
Thank you, sir.
373
00:20:38,125 --> 00:20:39,959
Interesting.
We agree to stipulate to the facts,
374
00:20:40,041 --> 00:20:42,375
and the prosecution sees fit
to distort them just the same.
375
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:43,458
-Objection.
-Mr. Edwards,
376
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:46,417
{\an8}I didn't say, "here's a hundred dollars,
go fight," did I?
377
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,709
-Well--
-Did I not first ask your friend Mike
378
00:20:48,792 --> 00:20:50,709
to avenge an assault committed against me?
379
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:53,000
-Yes.
-And then when Mike was attacked,
380
00:20:53,083 --> 00:20:55,250
I enlisted you and others
to go to his aid,
381
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:56,458
-did I not?
-Yes.
382
00:20:56,542 --> 00:21:00,125
And the man who first assaulted me
had many colleagues who joined the fray.
383
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:01,375
-Did he not?
-Yes.
384
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:04,417
In fact, Joe's friends first turned it
into a brawl, wouldn't you say?
385
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:05,417
Yes.
386
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:07,250
And as a friend of Mike's,
387
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:10,125
is it your testimony
you would not have gone to his aid,
388
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:11,458
had I not offered you money?
389
00:21:12,417 --> 00:21:14,959
No, I would have probably jumped
in any way at that point.
390
00:21:15,041 --> 00:21:17,250
Well, given your honest
and forthright testimony,
391
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,500
which has shed blinding light
on what happened in the bar that night,
392
00:21:19,583 --> 00:21:24,041
would you now consider yourself a witness
more for the prosecution or the defense?
393
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:27,208
Um...
394
00:21:27,792 --> 00:21:28,792
I guess defense.
395
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:30,667
Thank you, Mr. Edwards.
396
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:32,083
You deserve another hundred.
397
00:21:43,458 --> 00:21:44,834
We're going to lose?
398
00:21:44,917 --> 00:21:47,041
It hasn't gone well.
Surely, you've noticed.
399
00:21:47,125 --> 00:21:49,875
My grandfather started this steak house.
How can--
400
00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:51,792
I just can't believe it.
401
00:21:51,875 --> 00:21:54,333
Look, it isn't over yet.
We still have summations, but--
402
00:21:58,709 --> 00:22:03,000
Let me tell you this one more time.
Play the judge.
403
00:22:03,083 --> 00:22:05,458
The man lives with his mother,
and he wears lifts.
404
00:22:05,542 --> 00:22:07,208
The buzzword is "nansy pansy."
405
00:22:07,875 --> 00:22:10,375
-I beg your pardon.
-"Nansy pansy."
406
00:22:11,208 --> 00:22:13,125
He doesn't want to fall
on that side of the fence.
407
00:22:13,208 --> 00:22:15,083
It's even worse than namby-pamby.
408
00:22:16,291 --> 00:22:18,250
-What are you talking about?
-Trust me, Shirley.
409
00:22:20,375 --> 00:22:22,083
For once, can you do that?
410
00:22:24,667 --> 00:22:26,500
"Nansy pansy."
411
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,750
I was thinking perhaps I should close.
412
00:22:38,834 --> 00:22:40,250
Don't be ridiculous.
413
00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:42,291
-I'm sorry?
-No offense, Tara.
414
00:22:42,375 --> 00:22:43,625
But since I handled the witness,
415
00:22:43,709 --> 00:22:46,291
-the jury will be expecting--
-Did you see the faces on the jury?
416
00:22:47,375 --> 00:22:49,792
They weren't impressed.
They found you smug.
417
00:22:49,875 --> 00:22:52,583
You were, perhaps,
too self-satisfied to notice.
418
00:22:54,250 --> 00:22:56,792
Are we at a certain point
in our cycle, Tara?
419
00:23:01,875 --> 00:23:03,000
I apologize.
420
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:04,542
Do you?
421
00:23:06,041 --> 00:23:06,917
That's a first.
422
00:23:11,291 --> 00:23:12,625
Say what you must.
423
00:23:14,333 --> 00:23:18,166
I was hugely embarrassed by what happened
at the bar, not to mention terrified.
424
00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:20,542
I could have been injured.
Did that ever occur to you?
425
00:23:20,625 --> 00:23:22,333
I mean, it would have been one thing
426
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:24,917
had you had a Neanderthal reaction
and swung back,
427
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,750
but your response was considered.
428
00:23:26,834 --> 00:23:31,125
You reflectively,
calmly orchestrated your violence.
429
00:23:31,208 --> 00:23:32,792
People could have been hurt.
430
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:34,917
I could have been hurt.
431
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:36,917
But you've not once considered that,
432
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,250
because contrary to the rumor
that you are the center of the universe,
433
00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:42,542
clearly you are the universe.
434
00:23:43,792 --> 00:23:45,792
And I, for one, am getting sick of it.
435
00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:18,166
Alan Shore's a good lawyer, Paul.
If we fire him, it does leave a hole.
436
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:21,625
I am certainly mindful of that,
but how far do we let him push us?
437
00:24:21,709 --> 00:24:24,583
He has done this at every firm
he has worked for.
438
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:28,291
He defies them to the point,
his last firm sued him.
439
00:24:28,375 --> 00:24:30,625
Yes, and he went on. They didn't.
440
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,166
Schmidt, you called?
441
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:36,250
Chelina, I called you three hours ago.
Where have you been?
442
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:37,750
Patriots parade.
443
00:24:37,834 --> 00:24:39,625
The Patriots parade was last week.
444
00:24:39,709 --> 00:24:43,041
Three Super Bowls, four years.
I'm still on parade.
445
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:47,875
You worked on that Ianetti
meat-packing case last year, didn't you?
446
00:24:47,959 --> 00:24:49,000
Yes.
447
00:24:49,083 --> 00:24:51,792
What do you know about that cow
in Washington State?
448
00:24:53,709 --> 00:24:56,667
I'm about to suffer an embarrassing
defeat in court.
449
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,375
I need to show that what happened
in Washington was an isolated--
450
00:24:59,458 --> 00:25:00,291
What?
451
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:02,125
Don't go near the Washington case.
452
00:25:02,208 --> 00:25:04,917
It's possible it wasn't even a downer cow.
453
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,542
What do you mean, downer cow?
454
00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:09,333
Basically, it means the cow fell down.
455
00:25:09,417 --> 00:25:14,333
We're told that the mad cows are easy
to spot because they stumble and fall.
456
00:25:14,417 --> 00:25:16,333
We were told that this cow fell,
457
00:25:16,417 --> 00:25:19,458
but eyewitnesses in Washington say
the cow was walking
458
00:25:19,542 --> 00:25:21,792
and was tested only as a fluke.
459
00:25:22,333 --> 00:25:23,417
Which means...
460
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:28,458
While we're being told that the sick cows
show easily detectable symptoms...
461
00:25:28,959 --> 00:25:33,041
They sometimes don't,
and therefore go undetected.
462
00:25:33,125 --> 00:25:35,041
Stay away from the Washington case.
463
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:37,375
Thank you, Chelina.
464
00:25:37,458 --> 00:25:38,291
Hm.
465
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:44,917
Pardon the expression, but...
466
00:25:45,583 --> 00:25:46,458
I'm dead meat.
467
00:25:46,542 --> 00:25:48,458
You really think you're going to lose?
468
00:25:48,542 --> 00:25:51,500
I'm tempted to employ Denny's strategy.
469
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:54,041
Which is...
470
00:25:55,458 --> 00:25:57,375
"Nansy pansy."
471
00:26:01,291 --> 00:26:02,917
All I know is he instigated the brawl.
472
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,542
The charge is conspiracy
to commit aggravated assault.
473
00:26:05,625 --> 00:26:07,083
Talking about me, Brad?
474
00:26:08,583 --> 00:26:11,625
Yeah, we're just trying to imagine you
as an instigator.
475
00:26:11,709 --> 00:26:13,125
What's that supposed to mean?
476
00:26:16,375 --> 00:26:18,750
Sorry. Forget it.
477
00:26:18,834 --> 00:26:20,208
No, let's not forget it.
478
00:26:20,291 --> 00:26:21,709
How about you say what you have to say?
479
00:26:21,792 --> 00:26:24,750
Or is that too monumental an effort,
completing whole sentences?
480
00:26:24,834 --> 00:26:26,792
-Come on, Alan.
-You want to talk about me, Lori?
481
00:26:26,875 --> 00:26:29,041
Perhaps you should reposition yourself
behind my back.
482
00:26:29,125 --> 00:26:31,792
-Isn't that the rule of the game?
-I don't talk about you behind your back.
483
00:26:31,875 --> 00:26:33,375
You're not that interesting.
484
00:26:34,875 --> 00:26:36,667
I'm tired of this. Got that?
485
00:26:41,041 --> 00:26:43,500
Whoa, I don't know
what's going on with you, sport.
486
00:26:43,583 --> 00:26:45,458
But you're certainly smart
enough to realize
487
00:26:45,542 --> 00:26:48,375
that I could probably dismember you
in about the time--
488
00:26:49,834 --> 00:26:51,125
-Then do it.
-Cut it out.
489
00:26:51,208 --> 00:26:52,291
What the hell is going on?
490
00:26:52,375 --> 00:26:54,333
Careful, Tara.
I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
491
00:26:54,417 --> 00:26:56,041
Listen to me, talking to others
492
00:26:56,125 --> 00:26:58,291
as if I weren't the only one
in the universe.
493
00:26:58,375 --> 00:26:59,458
When will I learn?
494
00:26:59,542 --> 00:27:01,375
No, when will we learn?
495
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:04,458
That you are "always right."
496
00:27:07,542 --> 00:27:09,834
That it makes sense to start
a bar room brawl.
497
00:27:09,917 --> 00:27:13,291
That it's perfectly reasonable to get
into a shoving match at the office.
498
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,959
Nothing could be going on with you.
499
00:27:20,083 --> 00:27:21,625
When will we learn?
500
00:27:26,083 --> 00:27:27,000
Get help.
501
00:27:39,041 --> 00:27:42,750
We had an expression in this country
years ago called "where's the beef?"
502
00:27:42,834 --> 00:27:45,458
Translation, where's the substance?
503
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:51,542
Your Honor, do you know anybody
who's been victimized by mad cow disease?
504
00:27:52,333 --> 00:27:54,375
Know anybody who knows anybody?
505
00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:59,333
Know anybody who knows anybody
who knows anybody?
506
00:28:01,041 --> 00:28:04,417
There's simply not a shred of evidence
to suggest
507
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:09,208
that a single person in this country
has ever become ill from a mad cow.
508
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:14,083
But "why wait?" That's the mayor's jingle.
509
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,166
"Why wait?"
510
00:28:17,166 --> 00:28:19,417
Because this man and others like him
511
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:22,542
have sacrificed their lives
and their livelihoods
512
00:28:22,625 --> 00:28:24,375
building their restaurants.
513
00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:29,375
Maybe as a courtesy,
we could wait for a scintilla of evidence
514
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:32,792
before arbitrarily destroying
their businesses.
515
00:28:32,875 --> 00:28:38,125
The fact is the USDA has done
an exemplary job conducting tests,
516
00:28:38,208 --> 00:28:41,834
establishing safeguards to prevent
the outbreak of mad cow disease,
517
00:28:41,917 --> 00:28:43,875
which is probably
why it hasn't broken out.
518
00:28:43,959 --> 00:28:47,500
{\an8}Well, we could give in to our fear
and panic...
519
00:28:47,959 --> 00:28:49,458
Baseless panic,
520
00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:51,583
but that would make us...
521
00:28:56,583 --> 00:28:58,834
a nation of nansy pansies.
522
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,750
{\an8}I don't know about you, but...
523
00:29:02,333 --> 00:29:05,291
I don't want to be a nansy pansy.
524
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:13,000
Towns make rules all the time.
525
00:29:13,083 --> 00:29:16,917
{\an8}Lots of them zoned fast-food restaurants
out of business.
526
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,583
Through permits, they can control
how you build your house.
527
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:26,583
Some towns ban alcohol, cigarettes.
Others have curfews.
528
00:29:26,667 --> 00:29:28,834
We do all kinds of things.
529
00:29:28,917 --> 00:29:32,917
The only legal requirement
is that the laws are reasonable.
530
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,250
It is not unreasonable to fear an outbreak
of mad cow disease.
531
00:29:38,750 --> 00:29:40,875
We've had a case in Washington State.
532
00:29:40,959 --> 00:29:43,542
Another last month in Canada.
533
00:29:43,625 --> 00:29:46,792
We just lifted the ban on Canadian beef.
534
00:29:46,875 --> 00:29:50,500
The incubation period for this disease
could be decades.
535
00:29:50,583 --> 00:29:54,417
We have no guarantee
that we're not already infected.
536
00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:59,125
It is simply reckless for the government
to be injecting certainty
537
00:29:59,208 --> 00:30:01,166
when the scientific community cannot.
538
00:30:01,250 --> 00:30:02,583
And forget mad cow.
539
00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:07,375
We already know that eating beef
can cause high cholesterol, heart disease.
540
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:09,333
It increases the risk of colon cancer.
541
00:30:09,417 --> 00:30:13,000
There's listeria and E. coli,
which has already killed people.
542
00:30:14,291 --> 00:30:18,458
Dioxin, the poison that almost killed
the Ukrainian president.
543
00:30:18,542 --> 00:30:21,709
That stuff is on our grazing grass.
544
00:30:22,542 --> 00:30:24,333
Scientists say the average American
545
00:30:24,417 --> 00:30:27,208
has about ten units of dioxin
in their blood fat
546
00:30:27,291 --> 00:30:29,458
simply from eating animal fat.
547
00:30:31,041 --> 00:30:37,125
There are all kinds
of reasonable justifications for a mayor
548
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:40,333
to try to reduce red meat
from the diet of his citizenry.
549
00:30:40,417 --> 00:30:43,709
And let me remind you. There is nothing...
550
00:30:44,834 --> 00:30:47,125
Nothing in the constitution...
551
00:30:48,125 --> 00:30:51,375
that guarantees anybody
the right to sell a hamburger.
552
00:30:55,792 --> 00:30:58,375
{\an8}
553
00:30:58,875 --> 00:31:02,125
Nansy pansy.
554
00:31:20,959 --> 00:31:22,542
This wasn't self-defense.
555
00:31:22,625 --> 00:31:25,166
Mr. Shore was not under
any physical threat
556
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,125
when he paid the first man to fight.
557
00:31:27,208 --> 00:31:29,917
This was vengeance for hire.
558
00:31:30,333 --> 00:31:33,917
And once that violence began,
he started paying others to escalate it.
559
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,250
{\an8}These facts are not in dispute.
560
00:31:36,333 --> 00:31:43,291
The only real question for you here is,
is Mr. Shore above the law or not?
561
00:31:56,917 --> 00:32:00,458
I've been accused of, reflectively,
562
00:32:00,834 --> 00:32:03,458
perhaps even glibly...
563
00:32:03,583 --> 00:32:07,000
...orchestrating a little revenge.
564
00:32:07,083 --> 00:32:10,583
Well, I guess that's how
I wanted it to look.
565
00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:12,750
A man punched me in the face...
566
00:32:14,250 --> 00:32:15,750
in front of my girlfriend.
567
00:32:16,959 --> 00:32:17,917
And...
568
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:23,917
while my instinct was to hit him back,
the truth is, I was afraid.
569
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:30,625
I was fearful that if I retaliated,
he would...
570
00:32:32,834 --> 00:32:33,875
beat me up.
571
00:32:35,125 --> 00:32:37,709
So I got somebody else to do my fighting.
572
00:32:37,792 --> 00:32:40,208
Then things got out of hand.
573
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,041
And, well...
574
00:32:45,709 --> 00:32:50,166
I had to send more
and more troops to a war
575
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:53,083
that should've ended quickly.
576
00:32:53,709 --> 00:32:55,709
But make no mistake,
577
00:32:55,792 --> 00:32:58,625
{\an8}my reaction that night
578
00:32:58,709 --> 00:33:01,208
was not so much reflective...
579
00:33:02,542 --> 00:33:03,709
as it was...
580
00:33:06,542 --> 00:33:07,375
primal.
581
00:33:09,375 --> 00:33:10,542
A man hit me.
582
00:33:13,166 --> 00:33:19,792
And while we like to think of ourselves
as being evolved...
583
00:33:24,709 --> 00:33:26,375
Maybe I should've just hit him.
584
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:34,333
There's a warrior that lies within
the belly of every man.
585
00:33:34,417 --> 00:33:38,583
A warrior who, in my case,
has always gone unsatisfied.
586
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,959
I tried to satisfy him, but without pain.
587
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:46,709
That's what the craven do, sometimes.
588
00:33:48,542 --> 00:33:50,417
They stand out of the fray,
589
00:33:51,083 --> 00:33:53,458
thump their egos along with their chests,
590
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:57,834
and let others do the fighting.
591
00:34:30,959 --> 00:34:32,750
Well, thank you all for staying late.
592
00:34:37,041 --> 00:34:38,542
I did some research of my own.
593
00:34:39,333 --> 00:34:43,250
As you may know, I pride myself
on being a conscientious fact finder.
594
00:34:43,333 --> 00:34:44,458
Here we go.
595
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:47,083
No nansy pansy.
596
00:34:48,333 --> 00:34:50,083
Mad cow disease is here.
597
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:52,500
And for all the guarantees supplied
by the government,
598
00:34:52,583 --> 00:34:54,625
the scientific community
doesn't back them up.
599
00:34:55,041 --> 00:34:57,625
We all have a right to be concerned.
600
00:34:58,375 --> 00:35:00,959
The governmental agencies
in place to protect us
601
00:35:01,041 --> 00:35:04,917
seem to be controlled by the industries
we need protection from.
602
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,750
This mad cow disease started out in Europe
and worked its way over here,
603
00:35:08,834 --> 00:35:12,709
and it is true the scientists are at odds
with our government,
604
00:35:13,291 --> 00:35:19,000
but as a trier of fact,
a judge must rely on facts.
605
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:22,625
And there is no evidence of an epidemic.
606
00:35:22,709 --> 00:35:25,667
{\an8}If a judge were to allow himself
to be governed by fear alone,
607
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:27,917
{\an8}well, then it is true, and I agree.
608
00:35:28,041 --> 00:35:29,333
It would make him a...
609
00:35:30,834 --> 00:35:33,041
uh, nansy pansy.
610
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:36,750
This judge is anything but.
611
00:35:36,834 --> 00:35:39,333
I find the law banning
the sale of red meat
612
00:35:39,417 --> 00:35:41,417
to be premature, if not capricious,
613
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:43,000
and it is hereby overturned.
614
00:35:43,083 --> 00:35:44,667
Way to go, judge.
615
00:35:46,792 --> 00:35:47,667
Case adjourned.
616
00:35:50,959 --> 00:35:53,542
-Anybody up for a burger?
-Thank you, thank you.
617
00:35:54,959 --> 00:35:56,333
Thank God.
618
00:36:00,250 --> 00:36:02,709
Well, Denny, I admit, I had my doubts.
619
00:36:03,792 --> 00:36:06,083
But you won this case. Thank you.
620
00:36:06,750 --> 00:36:08,750
Does this mean we're having sex tonight?
621
00:36:10,875 --> 00:36:14,500
Allow me the dream a little longer.
622
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:17,125
I won the day.
623
00:36:18,125 --> 00:36:20,166
I deserve to be rewarded.
624
00:36:21,083 --> 00:36:22,291
I'll give you this.
625
00:36:25,834 --> 00:36:27,166
Denny.
626
00:36:27,250 --> 00:36:29,125
Denny.
627
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:30,709
-Denny...
-Oh.
628
00:36:31,375 --> 00:36:32,917
Crane.
629
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:54,083
I must be acquitted. She's not smiling.
630
00:36:54,166 --> 00:36:57,041
Madam Foreperson,
you've reached a unanimous verdict?
631
00:36:57,125 --> 00:36:59,041
-We have, Your Honor.
-What say you?
632
00:37:00,667 --> 00:37:02,417
"Commonwealth versus Alan Shore,
633
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,959
on the count of conspiracy
to commit aggravated assault,
634
00:37:06,041 --> 00:37:08,792
we find the defendant Alan Shore
635
00:37:08,875 --> 00:37:09,959
not guilty."
636
00:37:10,041 --> 00:37:11,500
We appeal, judge.
637
00:37:14,208 --> 00:37:17,625
Members of the jury, this completes
your service. You can go.
638
00:37:18,208 --> 00:37:19,542
{\an8}Mr. Shore.
639
00:37:20,667 --> 00:37:24,625
{\an8}This probably doesn't have to be goodbye
so much as...
640
00:37:25,083 --> 00:37:26,625
until we meet again.
641
00:37:26,709 --> 00:37:28,166
Yes, Your Honor.
642
00:37:31,709 --> 00:37:33,792
She's attracted to me.
643
00:37:34,542 --> 00:37:35,667
No doubt.
644
00:37:36,333 --> 00:37:37,375
Tara.
645
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:40,041
I am sorry.
646
00:37:41,166 --> 00:37:43,750
I never meant to put you in any danger.
647
00:37:44,417 --> 00:37:45,291
I know.
648
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:49,917
When you...
649
00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:57,208
...launched into that diatribe
about me being the...
650
00:37:57,291 --> 00:37:58,500
The universe?
651
00:38:02,166 --> 00:38:03,917
You even said you were sick of it.
652
00:38:07,458 --> 00:38:08,750
Are you sick of me?
653
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:15,834
Are you sick of me, Tara?
654
00:38:19,375 --> 00:38:20,250
No.
655
00:38:30,250 --> 00:38:31,667
As much as I...
656
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:37,542
...loathe sentiment together
with its expression...
657
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,500
I cherish you.
658
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:45,667
You should just know...
659
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,208
You really, really smell good.
660
00:38:57,542 --> 00:38:58,959
You smell good, too.
661
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:33,125
How'd you do?
662
00:39:34,125 --> 00:39:36,667
The jury was out 15 minutes. Not guilty.
663
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:39,041
They took pity on me.
664
00:39:40,291 --> 00:39:41,709
Congratulations.
665
00:39:44,875 --> 00:39:46,250
I heard you won.
666
00:39:47,041 --> 00:39:47,959
Hmm.
667
00:39:49,792 --> 00:39:51,083
Everything okay?
668
00:39:54,083 --> 00:39:55,291
I don't have Alzheimer's.
669
00:39:57,625 --> 00:39:59,250
I have mad cow disease.
670
00:40:02,208 --> 00:40:03,792
Well, it's nice to finally know.
671
00:40:11,834 --> 00:40:14,208
Ever beat up anybody with your bare hands?
672
00:40:16,166 --> 00:40:17,083
Many times.
673
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,208
Why?
674
00:40:22,375 --> 00:40:23,375
Just asking.
675
00:40:25,083 --> 00:40:26,166
Have you?
676
00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:29,583
No.
677
00:40:32,875 --> 00:40:33,750
Well...
678
00:40:35,625 --> 00:40:37,917
It makes you a better man than I, I guess.
679
00:40:41,834 --> 00:40:42,792
I guess so.
680
00:41:12,542 --> 00:41:13,834
Next on Boston Legal...
681
00:41:13,917 --> 00:41:18,125
You so often refer to lawyers
as unprincipled, soulless whores.
682
00:41:18,208 --> 00:41:21,041
Well, for the next few days,
I need you to be my whore.
683
00:41:21,125 --> 00:41:23,000
-The little man, he's here.
-Alan.
684
00:41:23,083 --> 00:41:25,625
-Good gracious, who have you killed now?
-Donny Crane.
685
00:41:25,709 --> 00:41:27,667
You remember me.
We used to be father and son.
686
00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:29,250
You got on this case specifically
687
