He thought it was a publicity stunt
and that we should go to hell.
:18:04
- Dad.
- What?
:18:06
- I need to talk to you.
- OK.
:18:08
- See you guys.
- Sorry. Thanks.
:18:11
This Walden versus Kemper.
Did you make that up?
:18:14
Look it up, counselor.
:18:17
I wanted to ask you
about something about work.
:18:21
- You want to ask me about something?
- Yeah. I know.
:18:24
- You want my advice?
- It shocked the hell out of me.
:18:28
I've been offered a case.
A good case. Partnership time.
:18:32
- Why would you want to be a partner there?
- Dad, please! Don't make me sorry I asked.
:18:36
- Go ahead, ask. What's the problem?
- I get this look in your eye. For God's sake.
:18:43
OK. Anyway, it's a great case.
I know I could try the hell out of it.
:18:47
But I wonder if I should pass it up because
there's a pretty extreme conflict involved.
:18:53
- How extreme?
- They want me on Meridian.
:18:59
- So what's the problem?
- It's obvious, isn't it?
:19:03
It's obvious there's no problem.
You're not taking it.
:19:07
Oh, really? Just like that?
:19:08
Margaret, don't you see?
They're using you as a parlor trick.
:19:12
They think I'll see my precious daughter
:19:14
- and go all soft inside.
- It's a bit more than that.
:19:17
Will you think, Margaret?
You're an associate at Quinn Califan.
:19:20
They pop out baby lawyers like you, like
a shark grows teeth, row after row, forever.
:19:26
When it comes to the crunch,
they'll send in the big boys.
:19:30
They already did.
:19:33
You mean you?
:19:36
Did it ever occur to you
that I might be a very good attorney?
:19:39
- You damn well better be. I raised you.
- No! Mother raised me!
:19:43
You had a date.
:19:46
Sorry.
:19:59
I'm looking forward to it.
It's kinda funny.
