Lawsuits are war -
it's as simple as that.

:15:08
And they begin the same way,
with a declaration of war -

:15:12
the complaint.
:15:14
When you're a small firm
and they're big,

:15:17
steeped in history and wealth,
:15:19
with Persian carpets on the floor
:15:21
and Harvard diplomas on the walls,
:15:23
it's easy to be intimidated.
:15:26
Don't - that's what they want.
:15:28
That's what they expect,
like all bullies.

:15:31
That's how they win.
:15:34
I don't run away from bullies.
:16:02
Mr Facher...
:16:03
Mr Doyle asked
me to bring this to you.

:16:17
When?
:16:19
- When did he ask me?
- Yeah.

:16:22
Just now.
:16:23
On your lunch break?
That hardly seems fair.

:16:27
I almost never go to lunch, sir.
Too much to do.

:16:32
I just grab something.
:16:34
You know, I'd make a point
of taking an hour or so

:16:38
away from all the noise
and insanity.

:16:40
I should do that.
:16:42
I'd find a place that was
relatively quiet and peaceful,

:16:45
have a sandwich, read a magazine.
:16:48
Maybe listen to a game
if one was on.

:16:53
I'd make sure everyone knew not
to disturb me during that hour.

:16:58
Because that would be my time -
my own private time,
