:43:02
So that's it? Case dismissed?
:43:05
- You're out of order, counselor.
- And you are guilty as charged.
:43:12
Alice Worth was my law partner.
:43:15
Oh, please, Dad!
You think I didn't know?
:43:19
- This is none of your business, goddamnit!
- Alice Worth was very much my business!
:43:24
She wasnt just some nameless one-nighter.
:43:28
Alice was a friend.
She was Mom's friend. Mine.
:43:33
She was everything I wanted to be.
She was smart and beautiful and a lawyer.
:43:39
I used to follow her around in here, to watch
how she'd cross her legs or hold her drink,
:43:44
and then Mom finds her letters to you.
:43:51
She never cried in front of me.
She wouldn't do that.
:43:54
But when she thought I was asleep,
I could hear her.
:43:57
Alone in her room,
sometimes three, four in the morning.
:44:01
- I'm really tired of this ancient history.
- She was never the same after that!
:44:07
Something in her eyes went dead.
:44:10
Margaret, you have to know
that I was committed to your mother.
:44:14
No. In one fell swoop,
you took away the woman I admired,
:44:19
the mother I knew
and the father I believed in.
:44:23
The conscience of America.
Defender of the huddled masses!
:44:26
The only thing you cared
about the huddled masses
:44:29
was how tall you could stand
on their shoulders!
:44:31
- Wait a minute. There's more to this...
- I'm going.
:44:34
- Wait. I spent my life trying to help people.
- Oh, yeah?
:44:37
Got any thank-you notes
from Jack Tagallini recently?
:44:41
Margaret! I had nothing to do with that.
:44:44
Oh, yeah?
I think you're being a little modest.
:44:47
Before you met Jack Tagallini,
he was just a nice guy,
:44:50
pissed off at the cost
overruns at Zembella Air.
:44:52
- It never occurred to him to go public.
- He didn't know how. I had to show him how.
:44:57
You forced him! Or conned him! Or whatever
it is you do to get on the cover of Newsweek.
