:40:00
and I was expected to become a lawyer.
:40:02
It's like being born a sheep,
or a moth.
:40:07
It's not much of a life when
you can't call your soul your own.
:40:10
- Are you a good fisherman?
- I was a much better lawyer,
:40:14
but a happier fisherman.
:40:18
I hated it.
:40:20
The average punter goes to court expecting a little
justice 'cause some bastard stole his lawnmower.
:40:25
What did you see?
Some supercilious toads talking gibberish,
:40:30
the sole purpose of which is to make
him feel guilty, and the guilty look innocent.
:40:35
It's the world turned upside-down.
:40:37
I wouldn't drag anybody through that system
just to see them squashed at the end.
:40:41
I'm certainly not going to do it to myself.
:40:44
Did you ever think the Lord
delivered perfect justice?
:40:47
Of course not. The most you
can expect is to do a little good.
:40:56
I should warn you I have a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu.
:40:59
I could very easily throw you onto the roof.
:41:07
Read some of the letters.
Meet some of the people.
:41:13
You're making a mistake.
I'll win this.
:41:15
Nevertheless, we don't want
to make a martyr of this man.
:41:19
I'm instructing you, Gerry.
:41:27
- This is great. Thank you.
- Good luck.
:41:33
- I'm only doing this for you.
- Yes, you're only doing it for me.
:41:40
It was a mudslide. They said it wasn't our fault,
but they wouldn't pay anyway.
:41:45
They said it was an 'Act of God'.
:41:47
- Afterwards?
- Yes.
:41:50
They said the water has to come from above,
otherwise it's not a flood.
:41:56
How can a flood come from above?
:41:59
It was humiliating.
