:46:05
Mr Cheeseman, well done.
:46:09
The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer
winning in court
:46:12
are 2 to 1 against.
:46:14
Think about that for a second.
:46:16
Your odds of surviving a game
of Russian roulette are better.
:46:20
12 times better.
:46:23
So why does anyone do it?
:46:25
They don't. They settle.
:46:27
Out of the 780,000 cases
filed each year,
:46:35
The whole idea of lawsuits
is to settle,
:46:38
to compel the other side to settle.
:46:40
You do that by spending
more money than you should,
:46:44
forcing them to spend
more money than they should.
:46:47
And whoever
comes to their senses first...
:46:51
Ioses.
:46:53
Trials are a corruption
of the entire process.
:46:56
And only fools with something
to prove end up ensnared in them.
:47:00
When I say prove,
I don't mean about the case.
:47:06
I mean about themselves.
:47:07
Hey, old man, out of the way!
:47:15
- How's business?
- It's good.
:47:18
Is it? I was afraid, with
all these scientists and doctors,
:47:22
a small firm like yours
might be in trouble.
:47:25
I appreciate your concern.
:47:27
We've got more than enough
to go the distance.
:47:30
Are you sure? lf you realised
you miscalculated the arithmetic,
:47:34
you'd be digging quarters
out the seats of your car.
:47:37
- You don't have to worry, Jerry.
- That's a relief.
:47:42
You know what? You don't want me
in this case. You've got Grace.
:47:48
I'm only gonna hurt you.
So get rid of me.
:47:51
Tell me what you've got so far,
I'll get a cheque cut - OK?
:47:58
My expenses? You're offering
to cover my expenses?
