PREVIOUSLY ON "BOSTON LEGAL"...
TAKE ALL THE MONEY OUT OF THE DRAWER,
AND PUT IT IN A BAG.
SHE ALREADY MURDERED A MAN.
PLEASE LET THIS ONE GET AWAY.
I DO THIS FOR YOU, YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
GET ME AN INTERVIEW AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT.
YOU DON'T GET TO SET ALL THE RULES IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.
I'M SORRY.
BUT IF YOU HIT ME OR ANYTHING,
I MIGHT LITERALLY DIE.
YOUR CASE IS DISMISSED. YOU'RE FREE AND CLEAR.
I FOUND YOU A JOB. COME AND GET IT.
SO I'VE MET THIS GIRL. YOU DID?
IRMA LEVINE.
YOU DON'T FOOL ME.
SHE GIVES ME A BIT OF TROUBLE.
***
(telephone rings)
(phone beeps)
HELLO.
MS. LEVINE. ALAN SHORE.
HELLO, MR. SHORE.
UH, I-IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?
There is.
AND LET ME PREFACE MY REMARKS BY SAYING,
WHILE WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL,
AND WHILE I'D RATHER BE SPEAKING TO YOU IN PERSON
so as to better gauge your reaction,
Ms. Levine...
I'VE BEEN HAVING CERTAIN FANTASIES ABOUT YOU...
***
INTENSE...
***
UNABASHEDLY SEXUAL FANTASIES.
***
And I thought we could meet
TO DISCUSS THEM.
Did you get that?
UM...
ONE DRINK.
(piano music playing)
MS. LEVINE.
MR. SHORE.
I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF ORDERING CHAMPAGNE.
THANK YOU.
MMM.
SO...
THESE FANTASIES...
THEY'RE MANY... AND VARIED, ACTUALLY.
BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, THEY SEEM
A VERY POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR REALITY.
WELL, I'LL ADMIT,
I'VE BEEN HAVING SOME FANTASIES OF MY OWN.
HAVE YOU? TELL.
I WALK INTO A BUILDING--
MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL GYM--
AND YOU FOLLOW ME INSIDE.
AND THERE ARE THESE BOOTHS SET UP.
IT'S ELECTION DAY.
WHY NOT?
I GO INTO A VERY SMALL BOOTH,
AND YOU FOLLOW ME IN,
AND YOUR HAND, LIKE THE BREEZE,
REACHES UP MY INNER THIGHS.
AND I TURN AROUND AND I SAY, "IT'S NOT RIGHT."
AND YOU SAY--
SHUT UP AND LET'S DO THIS.
AND YOU SAY, "WHAT'S NOT RIGHT?"
AND I SAY, "IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT I SHOULD VOTE,
AND MY VOTE DOESN'T COUNT DUE TO REDISTRICTING."
WHAT?
ALL OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS
ARE REDRAWING THE DISTRICT VOTING LINES
TO TILT THE ELECTIONS IN THEIR FAVOR.
OUR OFFICIALS ARE STEALING OUR COUNTRY, ALAN,
AND WE NEED TO STOP THEM, AND I MAY NEED A LAWYER.
AND I'M GUESSING YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A NAKED ONE?
THIS COULD BE THE WORST THREAT TO DEMOCRACY EVER, ALAN,
AND NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE THEM PAY ATTENTION.
(women chanting) MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT!
ODDLY, THIS WAS ONE OF MY FANTASIES.
AND THE CHILLY WEATHER IS CERTAINLY AN ADDED BONUS.
(siren wails)
(women) MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT!
MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT...
ALL RIGHT, LADIES, THAT'S IT. LET'S GO.
(Irma) OKAY, EVERYBODY STAY CALM.
ALAN. ALAN.
YES, NO PROBLEM. UH...
UH...
(women) MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT.
I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
OH, YES. AND I SAY THIS WITH GREAT RELUCTANCE...
HERE.
DON'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I'LL BE DOWN TO BAIL YOU OUT AS SOON AS I CAN. OKAY.
(women) MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT!
MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT!
***
AND I'M NOT SUCKING UP.
SAVING THAT BOY THE WAY YOU DID,
YOU'RE A REAL LOCAL HERO,
AND A MEDIA DARLING.
THE CAMERAS LOVED YOU.
(chuckles) THANKS.
MM-HMM.
ALAN SHORE HAS SAID SOME VERY GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU.
WELL, HE'S AN EXCELLENT ATTORNEY.
MM-HMM. SO TELL ME,
WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT?
THE MONEY.
I'VE SERVED FOR SIX YEARS AT THE D.A.'s OFFICE,
WORKING 80-HOUR WEEKS, EATING DINNER OUT OF TO-GO TINS.
MY FURNITURE IS FROM MY PARENTS' GARAGE,
AND I BUY MY CLOTHES FROM JANNY'S DRESS-FOR-LESS.
NOW I COULD TELL YOU SOME CRAP
ABOUT WANTING NEW AND EXCITING CHALLENGES,
AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BUT WHY NOT JUST BE HONEST?
IT'S THE MONEY.
UH, WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS COULD YOU BRING TO THE FIRM?
WELL, I MADE A LOT OF CONTACTS
WHEN I WAS DOING WHITE-COLLAR CRIME.
I ALSO KNOW A LOT OF COPS AND DETECTIVES AND INSPECTORS.
AND, OF COURSE, I AM WIRED INTO THE D.A.'s OFFICE.
UH-HUH.
THAT'S THE WEB SITE FOR A SKI RESORT.
YEAH. IT'S WHISTLER. DO YOU SKI?
NO.
AND IT'S REALLY A SHAME,
'CAUSE HERE I AM FREEZING MY BUTT OFF ON MOUNT PENDEJO.
ADIóS, MUCHACHA.
MR. HOPPER HAS FINALLY COME AROUND.
IT TOOK US A LONG TIME TO GET HIM HERE,
BUT HE'S WILLING TO SETTLE.
I'M THINKING OF GETTING THEM TO RENAME LUNG CANCER AFTER ME.
DANIEL, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
AH, THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, IT MAKES SENSE-- UH, THE LOU GEHRIG THING.
WE'RE GOING IN NOW.
GOOD MORNING, SAMANTHA.
UM, IS MR. HOPPER IN THE RESTROOM?
NO. HIS WIFE JUST CALLED.
HE DIED THIS MORNING.
***
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME.
WHAT DID I DO?
THIS.
(women) MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT!
(woman) IT'S COMPLETE CHAOS OUT THERE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT...
IT WAS QUITE A SCENE.
...QUICKLY TURNED UGLY...
OH, LOOK! IT'S ME.
I CAN SEE THAT-- YOU WERE THERE
IN A SEA OF BREASTS, AND YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME.
IT WASN'T A SEX THING, DENNY.
THIS WAS A POLITICAL PROTEST ABOUT A SERIOUS ISSUE.
I HEARD THERE WERE 200 WOMEN.
THAT'S 400 BREASTS,
AND YOU KEPT THEM ALL TO YOURSELF.
I HAVE TO GET TO AN ARRAIGNMENT.
THE TOPLESS WOMAN? YES.
I'LL GO WITH YOU. IT'S IN COURT.
SHE'D BE COMPLETELY DRESSED.
(sighs) WHY ARE THEY PIXILATING?
THIS IS A CABLE NEWS CHANNEL.
YOU COULD SHOW BREASTS ON CABLE.
Y-Y-YES, MAY I HELP YOU, DEAR?
THIS IS MY OFFICE.
OH, I NEEDED A BASE OF OPERATIONS
FOR MY SANDWICH CART BUSINESS. BUT I--
YOU'RE A FIRST YEAR, RIGHT?
WELL, IT GOES LIKE THIS-- NAMED PARTNER, SENIOR PARTNER,
JUNIOR PARTNER, SENIOR ASSOCIATES,
SANDWICH LADY, XEROX GUY, JANITOR,
FIRST YEARS.
BUT I-- I'M ON THE PHONE, DEAR.
OH.
DID SHE KNOW THAT WHEN SHE ASKED HIM?
(laughs) OH, NO!
THE LAWSUIT'S BEEN DROPPED.
THE CLAIM DIED WITH HOPPER,
AND THE WIFE DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE IT ANY FURTHER.
I WANT TO SEE THAT SHE GETS THE ORIGINAL SETTLEMENT OFFER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, DANIEL.
SURE I DO.
HEY, YOU BUSY TOMORROW NIGHT?
UH, NO, WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO TO A FUNERAL. HOPPER'S?
NO, MINE.
WE'LL GO IN MY LIMO-- I GOT A TV,
I GOT THE UPPY-DOWNY THING
SO WE COULD MAKE OUT AND THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE US.
UH, YEAH, I LOVE MAKING OUT ON THE WAY TO FUNERALS,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE GUEST OF HONOR.
WELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH WANTING TO SEE YOUR OWN FUNERAL?
BESIDES, IF YOU WAIT TILL YOUR DEAD,
YOU DON'T GET TO HEAR ALL THE GREAT THINGS
PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU. THINK ABOUT IT? (Denny) DANIEL.
DENNY. LOOKIN' GOOD.
THANK YOU. YOU WANT TO COME TO MY FUNERAL?
OH, FUNERALS ARE SAD. OH, THIS ONE WILL BE FUN.
WELL, COUNT ME IN. TOMORROW NIGHT.
NO CAN DO. BUSY. RAIN CHECK?
ABSOLUTELY.
HE'S A KEEPER.
DENNY'S GREAT.
YEP.
HE DOESN'T HEAR A THING ANYONE SAYS, DOES HE?
NOPE.
SO, MS. RAINES, HOW WAS YOUR INTERVIEW
AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT?
SHORT.
(man) "DOCKET NUMBER 667065--
COMMONWEALTH vs. IRMA LEVINE."
ONE COUNT OF DISTURBING THE PEACE. YOUR HONOR, AT THIS TIME,
THE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT.
WE'RE CHARGING MS. LEVINE WITH PENAL CODE 272, SECTION 16--
OPEN AND GROSS LEWDNESS AND LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? HOW DO YOU PLEAD, COUNSELOR?
TIME OUT, YOUR HONOR. THAT CHARGE IS A FELONY.
THIS WOMAN WAS ARRESTED AS PART OF A POLITICAL PROTEST.
THERE'S NOTHING LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS ABOUT IT.
READ THE STATUTE. SHE VIOLATED IT.
THIS IS ABSURD.
IF SHE'S CONVICTED, SHE'LL BE FORCED TO REGISTER
AS A SEX OFFENDER. SAVE IT FOR THE JURY, COUNSELOR.
HOW DO YOU PLEAD? EVEN MORE NOT GUILTY
THAN WE WERE PREPARED TO PLEAD A MOMENT AGO.
CONFERENCE WITH THE CLERK TO SET THE TRIAL DATE.
(bangs gavel) NEXT CASE.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
I'M LATE.
THERE WERE 200 WOMEN ARRESTED THAT DAY.
ARE YOU GOING TO CHARGE THEM ALL AS SEX OFFENDERS?
WE'RE GONNA SEE HOW THIS CASE GOES FIRST.
***
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
IN YOUR INTERVIEW WITH HOLLY RAINES?
I DON'T LIKE YOUR TONE.
AND YOU'RE SQUARE. GAME OVER. NOW WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
DIDN'T LIKE HER. SHE WAS ONLY HERE FOR THE MONEY.
BRAD, EVERYONE FROM THE SENIOR PARTNERS
TO THE ASSISTANT JANITOR IS ONLY HERE FOR THE MONEY!
OKAY, LOOK. YOU HAD AN AFFAIR WITH TARA.
YOU PAID YOUR ASSISTANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU.
I'M A PARTNER NOW. I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU USE THIS FIRM
AS AN ESCORT SERVICE.
THIS WAS NOT ABOUT SEX. IT WAS ABOUT BRIBERY.
I HAD TO OFFER HER AN INTERVIEW
TO GET CATHERINE PIPER OFF.
NOW YOU'VE MADE HER MAD,
AND SHE'S TAKING IT OUT ON ANOTHER CLIENT OF MINE.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
STRENGTHENING MY QUADS. SKI SEASON.
***
THEY SAY IT WAS CAUSED BY STRESS FROM THE FIRST GULF WAR.
BUT WHATEVER THE CAUSE, BRAD CHASE DOES INDEED
SUFFER FROM A SEVERE CASE OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME,
AND HIS GASTROENTEROLOGIST HAS TOLD HIM
TO TAKE UP SPORTS THAT STRENGTHEN
THE GLUTEUS MAXIMUS MUSCLES TO CONTROL THINGS BACK THERE.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF IT,
BUT APPARENTLY, THE HIGH ALTITUDE OF THE SKI SLOPES
IS ALSO GOOD IN HELPING TO PREVENT... LEAKAGE.
SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THIN AIR.
SO LONG STORY SHORT,
I WILL GET YOU ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH A NAME PARTNER.
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
NOW CAN YOU PLEASE CHARGE IRMA LEVINE
WITH SOMETHING REASONABLE--
OR BETTER YET, JUST DROP THE WHOLE THING?
CAN'T DO IT.
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE YOU A JOB,
BUT I PROMISE--
I KNOW YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT ME BEING MAD
AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT, BUT IT ISN'T.
THIS COMES STRAIGHT FROM MY BOSS.
WHY DOES THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CARE ABOUT THIS?
HE WANTS TO SET AN EXAMPLE
TO DISCOURAGE THESE KINDS OF PROTESTS.
MS. RAINES, IF YOU CONVICT IRMA OF THIS CHARGE,
SHE'LL HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER.
SHE'LL BE LUMPED INTO THE SAME GROUP
AS RAPISTS AND CHILD MOLESTERS--
ALL BECAUSE OF A POLITICAL PROTEST.
HOW CAN THIS SEEM EVEN REMOTELY FAIR TO YOU?
IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS.
PARSONS TRIAL. WE'RE TRYING TO PLEA THIS OUT,
SO I WANT YOU TO RESEARCH ANY CASES INVOLVING DEATHS
RESULTING FROM MARITAL DISPUTES. I'M ON IT.
I DO HAVE A SLIGHT PROBLEM.
THERE'S AN OLD WOMAN IN MY OFFICE. PARDON?
THE SANDWICH LADY. CATHERINE?
SHE'S TAKEN OVER MY OFFICE.
AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU, A LAWYER WORKING AT ONE
OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS FIRMS IN THE BOSTON AREA,
CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH THE SANDWICH LADY
TO GET HER OUT OF YOUR OFFICE? WELL, OF COURSE I CAN.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP THE FIRM'S BILLABLE TIME.
YOU THINK THIS WILL TAKE TIME?
WHAT--NO, SIR, I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
FORGET I SAID ANYTHING. PLEASE.
***
SHIRLEY, JUST THE PERSON I NEEDED TO SEE.
I'M IN A TERRIBLE BIND,
AND I NEED TO BORROW YOUR BREASTS.
ALL RIGHT, BUT HAVE THEM HOME BY 11.
I'M SURE YOU'VE FOLLOWED IRMA LEVINE'S CASE IN THE NEWS.
I HAVE.
THEN YOU KNOW THE D.A., OR WHOEVER'S PRESSURING HIM,
IS ATTEMPTING TO SUPPRESS POLITICAL PROTESTS. NAKED ONES, YES.
THIS IS NOT A SMALL ISSUE, SHIRLEY.
THIS TYPE OF THING IS GOING ON ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
THEY'VE BANNED ROADSIDE PARKING AND CAMPING
IN CRAWFORD, TEXAS, TO STOP PEOPLE FROM PROTESTING THE WAR.
IF YOU CRITICIZE THIS ADMINISTRATION,
THEY JUST MIGHT REVEAL YOUR WIFE IS A C.I.A. AGENT.
CONGRESS IS CREATING A LAW THAT FORCES PEOPLE
WITH POLITICAL BLOGS TO EITHER REGISTER WITH THE GOVERNMENT
OR FACE POTENTIAL PROSECUTION.
LITTLE BY LITTLE, PEOPLE ARE BEING SILENCED.
I NEED YOUR STATURE, EXPERTISE-- CUT THE CRAP, ALAN.
IT'S ABOUT BOOBS, AND YOU NEED A NICE PAIR AT THE TABLE.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
WHEN YOU CUT TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER LIKE THAT.
THEY ARE THROWING EVERYTHING AT ME, SHIRLEY.
I NEED TO THROW EVERYTHING BACK. I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
THINK FAST.
IF I AGREE TO HELP YOU, ONE CONDITION--
I ASSUME DURING THE COURSE OF THIS CASE,
BREASTS WILL BE REFERRED TO IN MANY COLORFUL WAYS.
ONE WOULD HOPE. PERSONALLY, HOWEVER,
I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR THEM REFERRED TO AS "HOOTERS."
I HATE THAT WORD.
OH, AND THIS IS A LITTLE OFF-TOPIC,
BUT I HATE THE WORD "UNDERPANTS," TOO.
IF I CAN HAVE YOUR BREASTS, I PROMISE NOT TO SAY "HOOTERS."
THANK YOU, ALAN. AND AS FOR "UNDERPANTS," IF YOU PROMISE NOT TO WEAR--
GOOD-BYE, ALAN.
***
WE ADVISED HER TO PUT HER CLOTHES BACK ON,
BUT SHE AND HER COHORTS INSISTED ON MARCHING AROUND TOPLESS.
(Holly) AND, OFFICER MINDEN... DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S HERE.
(Alan) SCOTT BODNAR.
POLITICIANS ARE DRAWN TO CAMERAS LIKE FLIES ARE DRAWN TO-- POLITICIANS.
AND WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THE DEFENDANT'S TOPLESSNESS? I WAS SHOCKED, OFFENDED.
WERE YOU THE ONLY ONE OFFENDED? NO, MA'AM.
WE'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM THE COMMUNITY
ABOUT THE DEFENDANT'S BEHAVIOR.
THANK YOU.
MS. LEVINE AND HER "COHORTS,"
AS YOU SO COLORFULLY REFERRED TO THEM,
WERE THERE AS PART OF A POLITICAL PROTEST, CORRECT? SO SHE SAYS.
"SO SHE SAYS."
SHE WAS HOLDING THIS SIGN. YES.
NOT EXACTLY THE STUFF ERECTIONS ARE MADE OF. OBJECTION.
SUSTAINED. ISN'T IT TRUE THAT MORE PEOPLE PAID ATTENTION
ONCE THE PROTESTORS TOOK OFF THEIR TOPS?
THEY DREW A BIGGER CROWD, THAT'S FOR SURE.
THANK YOU.
UH, ONE LAST THING.
AS A BEAT COP WHO REGULARLY PURSUES RAPISTS,
MURDERERS AND OTHER VIOLENT CRIMINALS,
AND ALSO AS ONE WHO PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF THE K.K.K.
AND OTHER PROVOCATIVE GROUPS
WHO ARE LEGALLY PERMITTED TO PROTEST,
CAN YOU SIT UP THERE AND HONESTLY TELL US
YOU WERE OFFENDED BY A GROUP OF BARE-BREASTED PROTESTORS?
THEY BROKE THE LAW, MR. SHORE.
I FIND THAT OFFENSIVE.
***
SHOCKED--SHOCKED AND APPALLED
THAT PEOPLE WOULD SO BLATANTLY FLAUNT OUR OBSCENITY LAWS...
WHORE. ANY PLACE THERE'S A CAMERA,
THERE'S BODNAR HAVING SEX WITH IT.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING YOUR HEAD?
AROUND. I DIDN'T SEE YOU ON THE BALCONY THE OTHER NIGHT.
BEV AND I HAD SOMETHING TO DO. THEN WE DID IT AGAIN.
THE GOOD PEOPLE OF BOSTON ELECTED ME TO PROTECT THEM... ALAN?
I HEARD THAT YOU ASKED SHIRLEY TO BE PART OF YOUR DREAM TEAM.
WHY HER AND NOT ME?
SHIRLEY HAS BREASTS.
OURS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP.
YOU'RE STARTING THIS CASE OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT. HOW SO?
IT'S GOT EVERYTHING--
SEX, POLITICS--EVERYTHING BUT ONE KEY INGREDIENT--
DENNY CRANE. I'M IN.
DENNY, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER. I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT IT'S ABOUT IN ORDER TO TRY IT.
I WANT YOU OUT OF MY OFFICE. I'M AN ATTORNEY.
I GRADUATED TOP OF MY CLASS AT SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL.
I PASSED THE BAR EXAM THE VERY FIRST TRY,
AND I WAS RECRUITED BY THE BEST FIRMS.
I KILLED A MAN.
I'VE SEEN THOSE ON TV.
(Bodnar) NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE JURY POOL IS... THERE'S THAT WHORE.
CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL... WATCH OUT, EVERYBODY. THE REAL WHORE IS HERE.
DENNY! I DON'T HAVE A TRANQUILIZER GUN,
SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REASON WITH YOU.
WE AGREED YOU COULD BE ON THIS CASE
ONLY IF YOU DON'T SPEAK.
SPEAK IN THE COURTROOM.
BESIDES, IT'S OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS
THAT MADE CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT
CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT. SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DISREGARD THE OBSCENITY LAWS...
DENNY CRANE. 10 CENTS A DANCE. HEY, SCOTT.
DENNY.
I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT MOST OF US BEGIN LIFE
SUCKLING ON A BREAST, AND IF WE'RE LUCKY,
WE END LIFE SUCKLING ON A BREAST.
SO ANYBODY WHO IS AGAINST BREASTS
IS AGAINST LIFE ITSELF.
DENNY CRANE.
(reporters all talking at once)
MS. LEVINE, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS IS?
IT'S A MAP OF THE BOSTON AREA CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
THIS IS DISTRICT 4.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE ITS SHAPE?
IT'S SHAPED LIKE A LARGE INTESTINE.
NOW WHY WOULD WE, AS A PEOPLE,
CHOOSE TO SHAPE A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
LIKE A LARGE INTESTINE? WE DON'T.
OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS DO.
SAY YOU VOTED FOR THE INCUMBENT CONGRESSMAN LAST ELECTION,
AND I LIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET,
AND I VOTED AGAINST HIM, HIS PARTY CAN DRAW THE LINE
DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO INCLUDE YOU AND EXCLUDE ME.
CAN THEY REALLY DO THAT? WITH COMPUTER MODELING, THEY CAN BE VERY EXACT.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT BOOBS AT ALL.
(quietly) IT'S FOREPLAY. WAIT YOUR TURN.
UH, WHY DID YOU START THIS GROUP?
TO PROTEST THE WAR. WE HAD OUR SHIRTS ON THEN.
THERE WERE NEARLY 100,000 OF US IN THE STREETS--
A SEA OF PEOPLE.
BUT THE LOCAL NEWS REPORTED THAT ONLY A FEW THOUSAND SHOWED UP.
IT'S AS IF OUR PROTEST DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN.
SO WHAT DID YOU DO NEXT?
WE CONTINUED TO PROTEST, WITH LITTLE EFFECT,
AND WE EVENTUALLY LEARNED THAT IN ORDER TO GET
YOUR MESSAGE HEARD, YOU HAD TO SHOCK PEOPLE.
YOU HAD FANTASIES ABOUT THIS COLLEGE GIRL?
SHE'S NOTHING BUT A TALKER.
MOMENT PLEASE, YOUR HONOR.
DENNY, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK HERE.
GIVE HIM YOUR KEYS TO PLAY WITH.
AND FINALLY, MS. LEVINE,
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? I RUN A WOMEN'S SHELTER.
AND IF YOU ARE CONVICTED
AND PLACED ON THE STATE'S SEXUAL OFFENDERS REGISTRY,
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU?
I WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING--
MY JOB, MY HOME, MY STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO IF ONE WANTED TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE
FROM EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS,
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DO IT. OBJECTION!
NOTHING FURTHER.
MS. LEVINE,
YOUR LAUDABLE WORK FOR BATTERED WOMEN NOTWITHSTANDING,
ISN'T IT CORRECT THAT YOU WERE ARRESTED
ONLY WHEN YOU ILLEGALLY BARED YOUR BREASTS?
YES.
YOU COULD HAVE CONTINUED TO MAKE THAT SAME STATEMENT
WHILE KEEPING YOUR CLOTHES ON. BUT THE MESSAGE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME COVERAGE.
SO IT'S YOUR CONTENTION THAT IT'S ALL RIGHT TO BREAK LAWS
SO LONG AS YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A MESSAGE ACROSS.
I THINK THAT'S A GROSS EXAGGERATION.
OUR COMMUNITY HAS SET STANDARDS AND LAWS
FOR WHAT IT DEEMS TO BE INDECENT BEHAVIOR.
WHAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE DOING IS INDECENT.
MY BREASTS ARE NOT. YOU INTENTIONALLY BROKE THAT LAW, DIDN'T YOU?
I TOOK MY TOP OFF.
IN MANY CULTURES,
A WOMAN'S BARED BREASTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED INDECENT. BUT WE'RE IN AMERICA.
IN AMERICA, WE'RE ALLOWED TO SET OUR OWN LAWS, ARE WE NOT?
YES.
NOTHING FURTHER.
***
(Oingo Boingo) * IT'S A DEAD MAN'S PARTY
* WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE?
* EVERYBODY'S COMIN', LEAVE YOUR... *
YOUR FUNERAL'S IN A BAR?
WELL, FUNERAL HOMES CLOSE TOO EARLY.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE BEER.
HMM.
NICE OUTFIT, BUT I DO BELIEVE I SAID HOCKEY CASUAL.
(chuckles)
I'M FEELING A LITTLE LIKE ALICE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE RIGHT NOW,
SO I'M JUST GONNA GO WITH IT. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT ATTITUDE.
MY FAMILY IS GONNA LOVE YOU.
YOUR FAMILY?
IT'S MY FUNERAL.
* DRESSED UP, NOWHERE TO GO *
(cheering)
I'M ON IT. I'M ON IT. I'M ON IT. I'M ON IT.
GO! GO! GO, SPINNY MAN! GO, SPINNY MAN!
(Daniel) SPINNY MAN? WHERE'D YOU GET THE LINGO FROM?
YES!
HA HA! HA!
NO, I HAD TO LET HIM WIN. IT'S HIS FUNERAL.
OH, YOU GOT BEAT BY A GIRL AND A DEAD GUY. DEAL WITH IT.
IF I COULD HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
WE HAVE GATHERED HERE TONIGHT TO PAY OUR FINAL RESPECTS
TO THAT GUY WHO IS EATING THE BUFFALO WINGS.
(laughter)
I KNOW WE LOOK AT DANIEL,
AND EVERYONE HERE IS THINKING THE SAME THING--
"HOW MUCH IS HE LEAVING ME IN THE WILL?"
NO, SERIOUSLY, AFTER OUR FOLKS PASSED,
DANIEL WAS THE ONE THERE FOR US.
HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN...
AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE.
TO YOU, BRO.
I LOVE YOU.
(All) TO DANIEL.
NOW LET'S HAVE SOME ZAMBONI CAKE, HUH?
(cheering and talking)
(Daniel) OH, NO. OH, NO.
IT'S NO PROBLEM. IT'S NO PROBLEM.
RIGHT DOWN THE "B," BROTHER. (Man) RIGHT DOWN THE "B."
(Daniel) RIGHT DOWN THE "B." NONE FOR HIM.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE WRECKING MY FUNERAL.
I KNOW.
IT'S JUST WE'RE HERE,
AND IT'S YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR FAMILY,
AND IT'S LIKE A BEGINNING, ONLY YOU'RE-- IT SUCKS.
THAT'S IT. (sighs)
IT JUST SUCKS.
THIS IS-- THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU...
AND EVERYONE IN THERE IS UNBELIEVABLE.
AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING. I REALLY HAVE.
BUT...
YOU'RE DYING, AND IT'S EATING ME UP INSIDE.
YOU GO BACK INTO YOUR PARTY.
***
IT'S TIME FOR COURT, DENNY.
I'M NOT GOING. YOU TOOK ME TO THE CIRCUS,
AND YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME ANY ELEPHANTS. I'M SORRY.
BUT I AM GONNA CALL THE D.A. TO THE STAND.
OH, THAT'LL BE FUN, BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
BE CAREFUL OF BODNAR.
I'M NOT SURE YOU WANT THAT WHORE AS AN ENEMY.
BY DEFINITION, HE'S MY ENEMY.
***
HE CAN'T CALL THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. I JUST DID.
HE WAS NEVER INCLUDED ON OUR WITNESS LIST.
THE COMMONWEALTH HAS NOT HAD AMPLE TIME TO PREPARE.
YOUR HONOR, HIS TESTIMONY IS RELEVANT.
THIS CASE IS ALL ABOUT THE RAILROADING OF MY CLIENT'S
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AND MR. BODNAR
SEEMS TO BE CONDUCTOR ON SAID RAILROAD.
IT'S A CHEAP STUNT. ENOUGH.
I'M CERTAIN DISTRICT ATTORNEY BODNAR
CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.
I'LL ALLOW HIS TESTIMONY.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BODNAR-- ALAN SHORE.
BEFORE WE START,
I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE THOSE MAILERS
THAT YOU SEND OUT COME ELECTION TIME.
WE'RE ALL INSPIRED BY THE STORY OF YOUR ROOTS--
YOUR FATHER, THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN COBBLER,
YOUR MOTHER, THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN COBBLER'S WIFE.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE.
YOU'RE A BUSY MAN--
KEEPING CRIMINALS OFF THE STREETS,
FIGHTING FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY.
AND YET YOU MAKE TIME TO BE HERE... EVERY DAY.
THIS CASE MUST BE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.
IT IS.
I GUESS THE QUESTION ON ALL OF OUR MINDS IS WHY?
WELL, MR. SHORE, AS YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A DEFIANCE OF THE LAW
ON A SIZABLE SCALE.
IT WAS EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
AND THERE WERE A LOT OF TV CAMERAS OUT THERE...
AND IN HERE.
THE POINT IS, MS. LEVINE'S MESSAGE
WAS GETTING ACROSS, WASN'T IT?
THAT'S WHY THIS CASE IS SO IMPORTANT.
THAT'S WHAT'S SO FRIGHTENING TO YOU--
THE TRUTH WAS GETTING OUT--
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STRANGLEHOLD YOU AND OTHER POLITICIANS
HAVE ON OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, CORRECT?
MR. SHORE, I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY
AND TO ACT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST.
PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO POLITICAL SPEECH,
NO MATTER HOW EXTREME.
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW
WITH LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR
ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON. YES--
MR. SHORE, YOU ASKED ME A QUESTION.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO FINISH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SOCIETY YOU LIVE IN, BUT OUR SOCIETY
HAS MADE IT CLEAR WHERE IT STANDS ON INDECENCY.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A LITMUS TEST,
JUST ASK JANET JACKSON.
***
WELL, CONGRATULATIONS, ALAN. YOUR GRILLING OF THE D.A.
ON THE STAND HAS REALLY PAID OFF.
THE PLEA BARGAIN WE HAD SET
IN THE PARSONS CASE SUDDENLY GOT REJECTED.
GEE, I WONDER WHY.
MR. PARSONS DID KILL HIS WIFE. MAYBE HE SHOULD GO TO JAIL.
WE ARE NOW KNOWN IN THE D.A.'s OFFICE
AS "THOSE S.O.B.'s FROM CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT." (elevator dings)
AND FOR WHAT? YOU'RE STILL LOSING THIS CASE.
WELL, IF THAT'S ALL THEY'RE CALLING US,
CLEARLY, I'VE NOT DONE MY JOB.
***
I'M HERE. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
BRAD, WOULD YOU AGREE THAT YOU OWE ME ONE
FOR THE EGREGIOUS WAY
YOU HANDLED THE HOLLY RAINES INTERVIEW? ALAN, HER ATTITUDE WAS--
THE IMPORTANT THING IS
I AGREE THAT YOU OWE ME ONE. JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD.
MR. BODNAR, WE'RE GONNA LOSE THIS CASE. YES, YOU ARE.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
WE COULD GET THROUGH THE APPEALS PROCESS,
BUT SO MANY OF OUR FINE JUDGES
ARE NOT INTO THE FIRST AMENDMENT THESE DAYS.
AND IF BY SOME MIRACLE WE MAKE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT,
WELL, THEY'RE NOT THAT TICKLED WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT EITHER.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM IN A PICKLE. YOU DIDN'T NEED
TO COME DOWN HERE TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.
NO. I KNOW. BUT I DID NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS.
IT'S... BRAD HERE.
WHAT ABOUT BRAD HERE?
HE'S DECIDED HE'S GOING TO RUN AGAINST YOU
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
REALLY?
YES.
I MEAN, I THINK HE'S A NATURAL FOR POLITICS. DON'T YOU?
LOOK AT HIM--GORGEOUS.
AND TOUGH ON CRIME.
THE MAN SINGLE-HANDEDLY RESCUED A KIDNAPPED CHILD.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS BOUND TO LOVE HIM,
BECAUSE HE'S SO DEMONSTRABLY PRO-TORTURE--
A MAN WHO'S NOT AFRAID
TO GET HIS HANDS DIRTY WHILE HE CUTS OFF
THE FINGERS OF OTHERS.
OH, YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN, AREN'T YOU, SCOTT?
MR. SHORE-- I WONDER WHO YOUR PARTY
WOULD RATHER HAVE CARRYING ITS STANDARD--
YOU OR CAPTAIN HANDSOME.
BRAD, STAND UP AND TAKE YOUR JACKET OFF.
YEAH. OOH.
UH, PUT IT OVER THE SHOULDER.
WOW.
I THINK THIS JOB IS ABOUT MORE THAN LOOKS.
WELL, YOU'D HAVE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?
I NOTICE THE POLLS
DON'T HAVE YOU DOING TOO WELL WITH WOMEN VOTERS.
YOU ARE AWARE MY CLIENT RUNS A SHELTER FOR BATTERED WOMEN?
YOU THINK PERSECUTING HER
WILL PLAY WELL WITH THE DISTAFF SIDE?
ARE YOU TRYING TO THREATEN ME?
NOT ME. IT'S MY FRIEND HERE.
THIS CASE HAS HIM SO INCENSED-- DOESN'T IT, BRAD? YES.
IT'S INSPIRED HIM TO PLUCK HIS HAT
FROM THOSE BEAUTIFUL BLOND LOCKS AND TOSS IT INTO THE RING.
I CAN JUST SEE THE TWO OF YOU IN A TELEVISED DEBATE--
WELL, REALLY, I CAN ONLY SEE HIM,
BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND.
TELL ME, BRAD, HOW MANY OF YOUR CLIENTS ARE MILLIONAIRES?
ALL OF THEM. RICH COFFERS TO DRAW FROM.
IT WOULD BE MUCH NICER, WOULDN'T IT, MR. BODNAR,
TO RUN UNOPPOSED?
WELL, YOU'VE BOTH MADE SOME EXTREMELY VALID POINTS,
AND I THINK GOLDILOCKS HERE WOULD BE A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CAMPAIGN. AND, MR. SHORE,
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN COURT.
***
BRAD, YOU KNOW YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO RUN.
ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE MADE A POWERFUL ENEMY,
AND I THINK YOU'VE LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON
ABOUT FOLLOWING MY LEAD. THANKS... DOUCHE BAG.
HEY.
HI.
SO...
HOW WAS THE REST OF YOUR FUNERAL?
OH, IT WAS GREAT. I GOT TOTALLY BOMBED.
SO ARE--ARE WE OKAY?
DANIEL, I AM THE WORST COWARD THERE IS.
YEAH, WELL, WE ALL VOTED YOU THAT
WHEN WE WERE PLAYING QUARTERS.
NO...
I CAN'T KEEP GOING.
OKAY, TIME-OUT.
UM, DON'T DECIDE ANYTHING YET, OKAY?
BECAUSE I GOT SOMETHING.
LOOK, I'M GOING TO SWITZERLAND.
THEY'VE GOT THIS EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT IN ST. MORITZ
THAT I SCAMMED MY WAY INTO.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA WORK,
BUT I FIGURE IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
AND IF IT DOES,
THEN I'LL BE BACK...
AND THEN DECIDE, OKAY?
OKAY.
YOU'RE GOING OFF LIKE A DOG, AREN'T YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHEN A DOG KNOWS IT'S GONNA DIE,
IT GOES OFF INTO THE WOODS BY ITSELF, AND, UM...
RICH GUYS GO TO ST. MORITZ.
THEY GOT BEAUTIFUL WOODS THERE.
YES, THEY DO.
I'LL SEE YOU, GUIDO.
SEE YOU.

MS. LEVINE TOOK HER SHIRT OFF. THAT IS NOT IN DISPUTE.
AND SHE DID IT TO MAKE A POLITICAL POINT.
NOW PEOPLE MAKE POLITICAL POINTS EVERY DAY--
ON TV, IN THE PRESS, ON THE INTERNET--
EXPRESSING OPINIONS OF ALL KINDS
WITHOUT BREAKING THE LAW.
FOR MS. LEVINE,
OUR COUNTRY'S GUARANTEE OF FREE SPEECH WASN'T ENOUGH.
OUR GUARANTEE OF FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY WASN'T ENOUGH.
AND APPARENTLY,
OUR GUARANTEE OF FREEDOM OF THE PRESS WASN'T ENOUGH.
NONE OF THESE FREEDOMS WERE ENOUGH FOR MS. LEVINE
AND THE POINT SHE HAD TO MAKE.
NO, SHE HAD TO BREAK THE LAW
BY VIOLATING OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS OF DECENCY.
NO ONE VIOLATED MS. LEVINE'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
MS. LEVINE VIOLATED OUR COMMUNITY LAWS.
DON'T LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT.
"JAKE WATSON--CONVICTED OF MOLESTING AN 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
"SERVED TWO YEARS,
"THEN CONVICTED OF MOLESTING AN 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
"JOHN BOWERS--CONVICTED OF MULTIPLE COUNTS OF RAPE.
"CALVIN STEPHENS--CONVICTED OF SODOMIZING AND MOLESTING
"OVER A DOZEN BOYS, AGES 6 TO 10."
THIS IS A LIST OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS.
THIS IS THE LIST THAT THE PROSECUTION
THINKS MS. LEVINE SHOULD BE PUT ON.
THIS IS THE COMPANY THEY THINK SHE BELONGS IN.
DO YOU?
DO ANY OF YOU THINK
THAT A WOMAN WHO BARED HER BREASTS
AT A POLITICAL RALLY
POSES THE SAME RISK TO THE COMMUNITY
AS RAPISTS AND CHILD MOLESTERS?
OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
AND I'LL LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET--
NEITHER DO THEY.
YOU SEE, THEY ARRESTED MS. LEVINE AND THE OTHER WOMEN
BEFORE AND CHARGED THEM WITH DISTURBING THE PEACE.
WHEN A WOMAN IS ARRESTED FOR SUNBATHING TOPLESS
IN A PUBLIC PARK, SHE'S EITHER CHARGED
WITH DISTURBING THE PEACE OR, MORE LIKELY, THE COP SAYS,
"HEY, LADY, PUT YOUR SHIRT BACK ON,"
AND THEN HE GOES OFF TO DEAL WITH REAL CRIME.
SO WHY IS MS. LEVINE DIFFERENT?
BECAUSE SHE WAS PROTESTING REDISTRICTING.
NOW I KNOW THAT MAY SOUND ARCANE AND THEORETICAL TO YOU,
BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT TO THE POLITICIANS IN POWER,
THERE IS NOTHING MORE DEAR TO THEIR HEARTS.
IF MS. LEVINE HAD WRITTEN A SCHOLARLY ARTICLE
ABOUT REDISTRICTING FOR AN OBSCURE JOURNAL
THAT NOBODY WOULD EVER HAVE READ,
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WOULDN'T HAVE CARED AT ALL.
BUT SHE AND THE OTHER WOMEN MADE THEIR ARGUMENT TOPLESS.
PEOPLE PAID ATTENTION, BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT,
WHEN 200 WOMEN TAKE THEIR TOPS OFF,
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK.
BUT AFTER THEY'VE GAWKED FOR A MINUTE,
THEY MIGHT ASK, "WHY HAVE THEY TAKEN THEIR TOPS OFF?"
AND THEN THEY MIGHT FIND OUT IT'S BECAUSE OF REDISTRICTING.
AND THEN THEY MIGHT SAY, "WELL, WHAT IS THAT?"
AND THEN WHEN THEY FIND OUT,
THEY MIGHT SAY, "OH, MY GOD.
"OUR POLITICIANS HAVE HIJACKED OUR DEMOCRACY."
PROSECUTORS CHARGED MS. LEVINE
FOR "VIOLATING OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS."
THIS IS BOSTON...
HOME OF THE TEA PARTY...
HOME OF THE PEOPLE AND THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM
THAT LITERALLY CREATED THIS COUNTRY.
OUR COMMUNITY STANDARD IS THAT
WE WON'T BE SILENCED BY THE KING OF ENGLAND,
MUCH LESS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
OUR COMMUNITY STANDARD IS THAT WE SPEAK THE TRUTH TO POWER.
AND IF THOSE IN POWER DON'T LIKE IT...
TOO BAD.
OH, LOOK AT YOU. THIS IS TERRIBLE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO, GARY.
GARRETT.
I'M NOT IN THE OFFICE ALL THE TIME.
I MEAN, I'M VERY BUSY OVER LUNCH AND MORNING BREAK
AND AFTERNOON COFFEE.
THAT WOULD LEAVE THREE OR FOUR HOURS
WHERE I WON'T NEED THE OFFICE AT ALL.
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
UH... THANKS.
SO YOU CAN BE IN THERE ALL DURING LUNCH
WHEN YOU EAT YOUR TWO SANDWICHES. TWO SANDWICHES?
OH, YES, YOU'LL BE BUYING TWO SANDWICHES OFF THE CART,
THE ONES THAT AREN'T MOVING.
USUALLY IT'S LIVERWURST AND TONGUE. BYE.
***
JOKE'S ON YOU. I LIKE TONGUE.
WILL THE DEFENDANT PLEASE RISE?
HAS THE JURY REACHED A UNANIMOUS VERDICT?
WE HAVE, YOUR HONOR.
WHAT SAY YOU? IN THE MATTER OF
THE COMMONWEALTH vs. IRMA LEVINE,
ON THE COUNT OF OPEN AND GROSS LEWDNESS
AND LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR, WE FIND THE DEFENDANT...
NOT GUILTY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY,
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
COURT'S ADJOURNED. (bangs gavel)
CONGRATULATIONS. OHH.
I THINK YOUR CLOSING MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME.
AND ABOUT YOUR PROTEST-- NEXT TIME, TRY PASTIES.
(laughs)
WELL, ALAN,
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO ME
IN A PUBLIC COURTROOM?
WALK ME OUT?
(elevator bell dings) (reporters all talking at once)
EXCUSE ME, THIS ELEVATOR IS TAKEN.
(bell rings)
OH, MY.
SUDDENLY I'M FEELING ALL OF THE HOPE
AND THE ANTICIPATION
AND EVER-SO-SLIGHT TREPIDATION OF ELECTION DAY.

(man) * FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

AAH!
OHH!
WHAT IS THIS?
DIET SCOTCH. IT'S BEV'S IDEA.
SHE WANTS ME TO SLIM DOWN FOR THE WEDDING.
OOH! YUCK.
OHH.
I'VE BEEN WONDERING, DENNY-- ARE WE DRIFTING?
DRIFTING?
APART? APART?
YES. NO.
GOOD.
UGH.
I'M GONNA MISS YOU, DENNY, ONCE YOU'RE MARRIED.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I'VE BEEN MARRIED. OF COURSE YOU ARE.
OHH! (grunts)

NEXT ON "BOSTON LEGAL"... I'M A PARTNER!
I WOULDN'T TRUST AN ASSOCIATE WITH A CASE THIS IMPORTANT.
STEP AWAY FROM THE VENTILATOR. MOVE AWAY.
SHE ASKED FOR YOU ESPECIALLY. NOW WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
AMELIA IS 18. SHE WAS ASSAULTED AND RAPED 2 MONTHS AGO
AND TAKEN TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL.
MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THE MORNING AFTER PILL.
DR. TUSTIN SAID THAT
THAT WASN'T AN OPTION AT A CATHOLIC-AFFILIATED HOSPITAL.
(woman) MARISA CAN'T SMILE.
MARISA HAS A DISABILITY, AND YOU AND YOUR INSTITUTION
ARE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST HER. WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST A DISABLED STUDENT. OH, MY GOD, YOU'RE A LAWYER.
