1:19:00
Dad? Busy?
1:19:03
- I'm always busy, Josh.
- Right.

1:19:07
I was wondering
if I could ask you something.

1:19:12
Put that down, that's a memento.
1:19:16
- What is it, Josh, what is it?
- Sorry.

1:19:19
Look, it's just...
1:19:22
I was wondering if you
could help out Mr. Anderson.

1:19:25
It's really tearing me up inside
watching him go through this trial.

1:19:29
I mean, he's such a good teacher.
1:19:31
I can't even remember
how many long sessions...

1:19:33
that he spent with me after school,
helping me...

1:19:37
with my math homework.
1:19:38
I thought Mr. Anderson
was an English and Drama teacher.

1:19:42
Yeah, but he's really good at math, too.
1:19:43
Mr. Anderson couldn't afford five minutes
of my time.

1:19:47
I know that, Dad.
But I was hoping you could do it pro boner.

1:19:50
Pro bono, Josh, Latin.
And I don't do pro bono.

1:19:54
But he's innocent, Dad,
these girls are totally lying.

1:19:57
I got a lot more important cases
on my desk...

1:19:58
than some high-school tempest in a teapot.
1:20:01
I know that, Dad, but...
1:20:04
Look, you know how
you're always apologizing to me...

1:20:06
about how your work leaves you
so little time to spend with me...

1:20:08
and watch me growing up,
and so, instead, you're always...

1:20:11
buying me these rare, expensive
kinds of dogs that only eat tuna fish?

1:20:17
Well, I think that if you did this favor
for me, Dad...

1:20:20
it'd go a long way towards
making up for that.

1:20:26
Well, I'll consider it.
1:20:30
Hey.
1:20:34
With the surprise addition of Larry Horowitz
to Percy Anderson's defense team...

1:20:38
the Roxbury sex trial
has leapt off the local pages...

1:20:41
and attained dramatic new proportions.
1:20:44
Today, the eyes of a nation,
indeed, of other nations...

1:20:48
will turn to this courthouse
in Beverly Hills...

1:20:51
where Larry Horowitz,
will make his first court appearance.

1:20:54
If one emblematic figure, above all others,
has emerged during this trial...

1:20:59
it would have to be beautiful,
young plaintiff, Kimberly Joyce.
