серия 3

441

00:25:46,653 --> 00:25:48,086

-You should close.

-What?

442

00:25:48,293 --> 00:25:52,730

The jury likes you. You definitely

go in with more momentum than me.

443

00:25:54,453 --> 00:25:56,683

When I'm strong in court,

I feel strong.

444

00:25:56,893 --> 00:25:58,804

I take advantage

of my strong periods.

445

00:25:59,013 --> 00:26:02,688

I can do certain things I wouldn 't

ordinarily have the strength for.

446

00:26:02,893 --> 00:26:04,690

Yes, Ronald Cheanie, please.

447

00:26:05,493 --> 00:26:08,087

Interrupt him.

Tell him it's Ally McBeal.

448

00:26:08,373 --> 00:26:12,366

Big fan of the truth, not gonna walk

away until you get it? Same here.

449

00:26:12,573 --> 00:26:14,291

I'm squatting until you give it.

450

00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:16,285

That didn 't come out right.

451

00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:19,206

Could you excuse us for a second?

452

00:26:19,973 --> 00:26:24,205

This office is too big.

You could put a Porsche in here.

453

00:26:24,533 --> 00:26:26,012

Are you on something?

454

00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:27,487

I'm on adrenaline.

455

00:26:27,693 --> 00:26:30,810

Between this trial and you,

I've had a man-hating week.

456

00:26:31,013 --> 00:26:33,891

I'd be a fool to waste it.

Why did you dump me?

457

00:26:35,493 --> 00:26:37,085

This isn't funny, Ronny.

458

00:26:37,373 --> 00:26:40,604

I know. It's just the stuff

that comes out of you.

459

00:26:41,453 --> 00:26:44,650

It makes me fall even more. . . .

460

00:26:49,293 --> 00:26:52,569

What do you mean, "fall even more"?

461

00:26:52,773 --> 00:26:56,129

I just can't stop thinking about you.

462

00:26:56,933 --> 00:27:00,209

-This is a trick.

-I've never met anybody like you.

463

00:27:00,413 --> 00:27:04,008

We've had one date, and already

I see myself falling in love.

464

00:27:04,973 --> 00:27:06,964

Falling in. . . .

465

00:27:07,253 --> 00:27:09,847

You said you didn't want

to see me anymore.

466

00:27:10,093 --> 00:27:13,688

That's not a normal thing to say

for somebody falling in love.

467

00:27:13,893 --> 00:27:16,851

Your favorite book,

Henderson The Rain King?

468

00:27:17,093 --> 00:27:21,211

You identifying with Henderson,

a guy going around saying, "I want. "

469

00:27:23,013 --> 00:27:25,766

That makes for an

interesting character.

470

00:27:25,973 --> 00:27:29,886

When you print your life story,

I'll be waiting at the bookstore.

471

00:27:30,293 --> 00:27:32,853

But for a partner?

I don't want to sign up. . .

472

00:27:33,093 --> 00:27:36,210

. . .with a person who knows

she'll be wanting forever.

473

00:27:37,653 --> 00:27:41,851

I was making conversation. I said

that so you'd know I read books.

474

00:27:44,173 --> 00:27:46,403

No. That's just you all over, Ally.

475

00:27:46,653 --> 00:27:49,884

The day you stop wanting

is the day you begin to die.

476

00:27:51,773 --> 00:27:55,004

You go through people.

You'll go through me.

477

00:27:55,253 --> 00:27:58,131

That is just so--

478

00:27:58,453 --> 00:27:59,806

True.

479

00:28:01,613 --> 00:28:05,208

You're saying I'm the kind of person

that can never be happy?

480

00:28:05,573 --> 00:28:08,804

I think you'll know

more happiness than most.

481

00:28:09,093 --> 00:28:11,448

You just won't be content.

482

00:28:11,653 --> 00:28:16,249

He's doing this on purpose.

He's read the book of Rules for men.

483

00:28:16,453 --> 00:28:21,049

Are you saying this so I'll deny it?

To make me want you more?

484

00:28:21,253 --> 00:28:22,572

It's working.

485

00:28:22,853 --> 00:28:25,686

I'm saying this because

you are a great lady.

486

00:28:26,333 --> 00:28:29,928

And I don't want to spend my life

feeling overmatched.

487

00:28:30,173 --> 00:28:32,926

That's the most flattering thing

anybody's ever said to me.

488

00:28:33,133 --> 00:28:35,010

-You coward!

-Excuse me?

489

00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:38,011

You want some Stepford girl

with her own apron set.

490

00:28:38,213 --> 00:28:42,491

She's out there waiting. If you want

me, you gotta go for it. I'm it.

491

00:28:55,813 --> 00:28:57,690

-You said that?

-Yes.

492

00:29:01,093 --> 00:29:02,845

I said it.

493

00:29:03,053 --> 00:29:07,604

Is that too bold for you,

Ms. "Grab The Opposing Counsel's Butt"?

494

00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:10,806

Georgia.

495

00:29:11,373 --> 00:29:13,409

-Hey, honey.

-Gonna be late?

496

00:29:13,773 --> 00:29:16,685

-We're just going over the summation.

-I gather.

497

00:29:17,373 --> 00:29:19,011

Doing better?

498

00:29:23,013 --> 00:29:24,366

Yeah, thanks.

499

00:29:27,013 --> 00:29:29,004

I'll be in my office.

500

00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:35,288

What?

501

00:29:39,453 --> 00:29:41,205

Where do we start?

502

00:29:42,293 --> 00:29:44,329

This morning on the elevator. . .

503

00:29:45,413 --> 00:29:48,211

. . .when we were both

thinking about nothing?

504

00:29:48,813 --> 00:29:50,326

My nothing was Cheanie.

505

00:29:52,613 --> 00:29:54,410

What was yours?

506

00:29:54,613 --> 00:29:56,410

Maybe this case.

507

00:29:57,213 --> 00:29:58,532

What about this case?

508

00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:01,611

I don't know.

509

00:30:01,973 --> 00:30:04,965

I think for both of you, this trial

could be unsettling.

510

00:30:05,253 --> 00:30:09,246

You both fall into the "pretty"

category, just like Barbara Cooker.

511

00:30:09,453 --> 00:30:13,082

It can be disconcerting to realize

that everything you think you are. . .

512

00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:16,803

-. . .can disappear with a wrinkle.

-Thank you, Elaine.

513

00:30:17,013 --> 00:30:19,846

Personally, from my standpoint. . .

514

00:30:20,093 --> 00:30:23,210

. . .I think you have a lot more

than looks.

515

00:30:25,053 --> 00:30:27,567

This is the assistant they give

me to ease my day.

516

00:30:27,813 --> 00:30:32,603

It would be easier to laugh her off

if she wasn't a little on the mark.

517

00:30:33,413 --> 00:30:35,608

We get mileage out of our looks.

518

00:30:35,893 --> 00:30:37,770

-And?

-It's temporary.

519

00:30:38,093 --> 00:30:39,685

Are you afraid of getting older?

520

00:30:39,893 --> 00:30:43,681

I'm afraid of growing out of what

my husband fell in love with. . .

521

00:30:43,893 --> 00:30:45,531

. . .at least partly.

522

00:30:45,933 --> 00:30:50,563

Afraid of not measuring up to

whatever my senior partners saw in me.

523

00:30:50,813 --> 00:30:53,202

You don't really believe that.

524

00:30:55,013 --> 00:30:56,287

No, I don't.

525

00:30:57,653 --> 00:31:00,213

I don't think Barbara ever did either.

526

00:31:03,573 --> 00:31:07,122

We've got to win this case

for peace of mind, at least.

527

00:31:18,293 --> 00:31:20,011

Richard, I need--

528

00:31:22,613 --> 00:31:25,923

I spoke to Cheanie last night,

and I am wrought.

529

00:31:26,173 --> 00:31:27,208

You're "wrought"?

530

00:31:27,933 --> 00:31:31,164

He said there may be an intolerable

working relationship.

531

00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:34,132

He said you squatted for the truth.

532

00:31:34,853 --> 00:31:39,131

Relax. Ronny called me and we're

going out to see "what if?"

533

00:31:40,613 --> 00:31:41,887

That's wonderful.

534

00:31:43,133 --> 00:31:44,885

I'm thrilled for you.

535

00:31:45,093 --> 00:31:47,732

I knew you would be.

I gotta get to court.

536

00:31:48,013 --> 00:31:51,608

You helped me with Whipper.

I want to give you something:

537

00:31:51,813 --> 00:31:53,007

Love. It's an equation.

538

00:31:53,213 --> 00:31:55,773

A "me," a "you," derives a "we. "

539

00:31:55,973 --> 00:31:58,726

-It's that simple.

-I'll try to remember that.

540

00:31:58,933 --> 00:32:02,050

The foundation for any "we"

is a "me," and if the "me" . . .

541

00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:06,087

. . .is a work in progress,

don't start constructing the "we. "

542

00:32:06,413 --> 00:32:08,369

Are you saying I need work?

543

00:32:08,693 --> 00:32:10,365

I say it because I care.

544

00:32:17,733 --> 00:32:19,689

Parenting is nothing if not selfless.

545

00:32:19,893 --> 00:32:22,532

-That's a Fishism.

-Yes, it is.

546

00:32:22,773 --> 00:32:25,333

ALLY: Looks count.

Nobody's saying they don't.

547

00:32:25,533 --> 00:32:28,252

She's an on-camera anchor.

Looks must count.

548

00:32:28,573 --> 00:32:30,165

And look. Look at her.

549

00:32:30,373 --> 00:32:33,206

This is an attractive woman. . .

550

00:32:33,733 --> 00:32:36,008

. . .and, the defendant admits. . .

551

00:32:36,213 --> 00:32:38,681

. . .the finest journalist they had.

552

00:32:39,213 --> 00:32:43,206

They fired her because not enough

people wanted to see her naked.

553

00:32:43,413 --> 00:32:44,607

The justification?

554

00:32:44,893 --> 00:32:46,724

The public. America.

555

00:32:46,933 --> 00:32:48,810

The "Iand of idiots. "

556

00:32:49,013 --> 00:32:51,243

People do read Entertainment Weekly.

557

00:32:51,533 --> 00:32:52,522

I don't know.

558

00:32:52,733 --> 00:32:57,682

I do know we have a sampling of the

public right here in this jury box. . .

559

00:32:57,893 --> 00:32:59,804

. . .so you tell us.

560

00:33:00,493 --> 00:33:04,281

They fired an Emmy Award-winning

anchor on the premise. . .

561

00:33:04,533 --> 00:33:07,127

. . .the public is a bunch of idiots. . .

562

00:33:07,373 --> 00:33:11,525

. . .who would rather see Playboy models

covering transvestites.

563

00:33:11,853 --> 00:33:14,606

If that's how they regard

the public. . .

564

00:33:14,813 --> 00:33:18,283

. . .if that's what they think

of you and you and you. . .

565

00:33:18,933 --> 00:33:24,132

. . .then we shouldn't be too surprised

that they disregarded Barbara Cooker.

566

00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:26,612

You're the public.

567

00:33:27,893 --> 00:33:28,962

Be heard.

568

00:33:30,933 --> 00:33:33,527

She didn't get fired for being old.

569

00:33:36,613 --> 00:33:39,207

She was discharged because she was

no longer capable of doing her job.

570

00:33:39,413 --> 00:33:44,487

Like it or not, in this day of remote

control and five zillion channels. . .

571

00:33:44,693 --> 00:33:48,402

. . .one function of the anchorwoman

is to be beautiful.

572

00:33:48,773 --> 00:33:52,686

Pretty enough to make the channel

surfer stop right there. . .

573

00:33:52,893 --> 00:33:54,121

. . .and say, "Ooh. "

574

00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,927

There's only one word

to describe him:

575

00:33:57,133 --> 00:34:00,443

The job is different today.

The job function is different.

576

00:34:00,653 --> 00:34:02,211

As for what he's saying:

577

00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:05,007

It's a reality. Do I like it?

578

00:34:05,413 --> 00:34:10,328

Am I happy to be living in a world

that prioritizes beauty over content?

579

00:34:10,933 --> 00:34:12,412

Look at me.

580

00:34:13,373 --> 00:34:17,366

I was the fat boy who had to take

his own sister to the prom.

581

00:34:17,573 --> 00:34:19,768

And I bet he tried to cop a feel.

582

00:34:20,013 --> 00:34:24,165

I have a mustache because friends said

the more face I cover, the better.

583

00:34:24,653 --> 00:34:25,927

That's the real world.

584

00:34:26,173 --> 00:34:27,652

In every walk of life. . .

585

00:34:27,853 --> 00:34:30,492

. . .Iawyers, journalists,

secretaries. . .

586

00:34:31,133 --> 00:34:35,012

. . .pudgy teenagers looking

to get one lousy date. . .

587

00:34:35,693 --> 00:34:37,524

. . .Iooks matter.

588

00:34:37,733 --> 00:34:40,611

You want to punish my client

for that reality?

589

00:34:40,933 --> 00:34:42,412

I suppose you could.

590

00:34:44,533 --> 00:34:46,524

But they're not responsible.

591

00:34:47,533 --> 00:34:48,852

And you know that.

592

00:34:53,013 --> 00:34:54,844

-Now what?

-We wait.

593

00:34:55,053 --> 00:34:57,726

-How long will they be out?

-Ladies.

594

00:34:58,453 --> 00:34:59,886

Nice touch with the public bit.

595

00:35:00,093 --> 00:35:03,642

Thanks. The "big fat prom-boy"

thing? That was good too.

596

00:35:03,853 --> 00:35:05,081

It felt right.

597

00:35:05,533 --> 00:35:09,412

The palms are getting sweaty.

They're willing to offer four.

598

00:35:09,653 --> 00:35:12,531

-Four hundred?

-No, four dollars.

599

00:35:12,733 --> 00:35:14,530

$400,000?

600

00:35:14,773 --> 00:35:16,525

Sealed. No admission of guilt.

601

00:35:16,733 --> 00:35:17,688

Take it.

602

00:35:17,893 --> 00:35:20,248

-Your offer is rejected.

-Pardon?

603

00:35:20,813 --> 00:35:22,451

Don't you have to ask her?

604

00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:24,803

Did you want it?

Say yes.

605

00:35:25,013 --> 00:35:27,402

-Do you think I should?

-No.

606

00:35:27,613 --> 00:35:29,365

-Okay, yes.

-No.

607

00:35:29,653 --> 00:35:30,483

What?

608

00:35:30,693 --> 00:35:32,604

Your instincts said no.

609

00:35:32,813 --> 00:35:35,122

-My instincts?

-Mine too.

610

00:35:35,693 --> 00:35:38,924

You're turning down $400,000?

611

00:35:42,013 --> 00:35:44,846

I can't believe it! How? How?

612

00:35:45,053 --> 00:35:48,329

This has got to be more than this

case is worth! I'm--

613

00:35:48,573 --> 00:35:49,528

Wrought.

614

00:35:49,733 --> 00:35:53,408

The jury was with us.

Ally gave a great closing.

615

00:35:53,613 --> 00:35:55,683

Why are you looking so blue?

616

00:35:55,893 --> 00:35:58,930

Because we turned down so much

on my instincts.

617

00:35:59,573 --> 00:36:00,972

I have bad instincts.

618

00:36:01,173 --> 00:36:02,208

That's not true.

619

00:36:02,413 --> 00:36:05,132

You were right about

Cheanie dumping you.

620

00:36:06,093 --> 00:36:07,845

Could I have a second with Ally?

621

00:36:08,053 --> 00:36:10,009

I'm helpful in these situations.

622

00:36:10,213 --> 00:36:11,612

Just the same.

623

00:36:17,453 --> 00:36:20,331

It's not my style to care,

but what's going on?

624

00:36:20,533 --> 00:36:25,732

-What do you mean?

-You're personalizing this. Why?

625

00:36:29,173 --> 00:36:32,210

Do you ever worry about. . .

626

00:36:32,613 --> 00:36:35,730

. . .winding up alone?

627

00:36:36,533 --> 00:36:39,206

I'm alone now, but I've got Whipper.

628

00:36:39,893 --> 00:36:41,565

Is that some sort of Fishism?

629

00:36:42,053 --> 00:36:46,171

Everybody's alone. It's just

easier to take in a relationship.

630

00:36:46,813 --> 00:36:48,565

I don't believe that.

631

00:36:49,253 --> 00:36:50,527

I believe everybody. . .

632

00:36:50,733 --> 00:36:54,931

. . .is half of a whole.

And I know it sounds kind of. . . .

633

00:36:55,533 --> 00:36:56,727

What's the word?

634

00:36:57,773 --> 00:36:58,967

Silly?

635

00:36:59,853 --> 00:37:01,127

No, not silly.

636

00:37:01,693 --> 00:37:03,729

And not sorry, either.

I don't know.

Say something nice about Cheanie.

650

00:37:53,893 --> 00:37:56,123

So, Cheanie's back on?

651

00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:59,962

I don't know if it's good or bad.

He has me so confused.

652

00:38:00,613 --> 00:38:04,049

We go on a non-date, we kiss.

We go on a real date, he doesn't.

653

-He wants in one minute--

-Do you want in?

654

00:38:08,293 --> 00:38:11,490

Yeah.

Why do I feel unfaithful?

655

-You want my advice?

-Sure.

656

00:38:14,453 --> 00:38:16,523

You've never let me down before.

to stick around for a while. . .

. . .if he goes to kiss you,

kiss him back.

659

00:38:25,213 --> 00:38:27,932

That's terrible advice.

Put out or lose out?

660

00:38:28,133 --> 00:38:30,363

-That's not what I mean.

-What, then?

661

I mean, if memory serves me. . .

he may not stay forever. . .

should've grown a beard.

back, but as consolations go. . . .

Absolutely, but first I have to pee.

Oh, that is so romantic.

I'm gonna join him.

It doesn't mean that I'm gay.

Shut up.
