:20:01
It clouds his judgement,
and that's as useful
:20:05
as a doctor
who's frightened of blood.
:20:08
All rise.
:20:10
This court is now in session.
:20:13
The Honourable
Walter J Skinner presiding.
:20:16
Is this the only case?
:20:18
This is a lot of lawyers.
:20:21
Sit down.
:20:27
You're looking well.
The Red Sox must be in first place.
:20:31
Roger Clemens
is the answer to my prayers.
:20:35
You have some interest in this case?
:20:37
I'm a co-defendant, but it's not
my motion. It's Foley-Hoag's.
:20:42
- And that motion?
- Your Honour.
:20:44
- I'm Jan Schlichtmann.
- I know. Sit down.
:20:49
The matter before us seems simple.
:20:52
- Your Honour, it isn't.
- May I hear it?
:20:55
The intention here is to place me
:20:58
under a cloud of impropriety.
:21:01
- Really?
- Yes. What they're saying
:21:03
is that they know law and I don't,
they're real lawyers and I'm not.
:21:08
They're just trying to humiliate me.
:21:10
You are a personal injury lawyer,
aren't you? I think you'll survive.
:21:16
- See? It's starting already.
- No, you've started already.
:21:20
I'm on the defensive,
they're the defendants.
:21:22
Do you think
I might hear this motion
:21:25
before You explain to ME
what it's really about?
:21:30
- Of course.
- Thank you.
:21:34
Now, Mr...Cheeseman, is it?
:21:43
Your motion to dismiss
is based on?
:21:45
Rule 1 1 , Your Honour.
:21:47
Specifically that Mr Schlichtmann had
no evidential grounds
:21:51
on which to bring this suit -
:21:53
only his knowledge that W.R. Grace
Corporation has a lot of money.
:21:58
Not true.
