:18:05
- What's so funny?
- Don't you get it?
:18:08
We ask for one man's files.
She sends us a paper blizzard.
:18:12
- She's hiding something.
- Yeah. Maybe.
:18:16
- I ever tell you you're a terrific lawyer?
- Yes.
:18:20
I lied.
:18:23
Find this guy Pavel. You know,
the bunny man? I wanna talk to him.
:18:32
The testing methodology was state of the art
at the time and that's what we went by.
:18:37
OK, George.
We're through for the day.
:18:41
You're still talking a little above the jury.
:18:44
Not that that would be difficult.
:18:46
Just keep it simple.
:18:48
- I wish I'd never seen that damn report.
- Makes two of us.
:18:52
- May I ask a question, please?
- Sure.
:18:56
Why didn't you just
change the blinker circuit?
:19:04
It's just a question.
:19:13
I told Flannery about the problem
a month or so before he died.
:19:18
- He called in his head bean counter.
- What's that?
:19:20
- Risk management expert, right?
- Yeah.
:19:24
Flannery shows him the data and asks him
how much it would cost to retrofit...
:19:28
- You mean recall?
- Yeah, you got it.
:19:31
To retrofit 175,000 units.
:19:34
Multiply that times 300 bucks a car,
give or take.
:19:39
You're looking at around $50 million.
:19:42
So the risk guy,
he crunches the numbers some more.
:19:46
He figures you'd have a fireball collision
about every 3,000 cars.
:19:50
That's 158 explosions.
:19:53
Which is almost as many
plaintiffs as there are.
:19:56
These guys know their numbers.
