00:00:40	I was bruised and battered
00:00:44	I was unrecognizable to myself
00:00:49	Saw my reflection in a window
00:00:51	And didn't know my own face
00:00:54	So, brother, I'm gonna leave
00:00:57	Wastin' away on the streets
00:01:18	This one?

00:01:23	I heard voices of friends
00:01:28	At night I hear the blood
00:01:34	Just as black and whispery
00:01:37	On the streets of Philadelphia
00:02:00	Ain't no angel gonna greet me
00:02:04	It's just you and I
00:02:09	And my clothes don't fit me no more
00:02:12	I walked a thousand miles
00:02:22	Night has fallen
00:02:25	I can feel myself fadin' away
00:02:30	So, will you receive me, brother
00:02:34	Or will we leave each other
00:02:39	On the streets of Philadelphia
00:03:22	This "pestilent dust"counselor refers
00:03:27	Each time it was tested,
00:03:30	It's messy, but innocuous.
00:03:36	- "Innocuous"?
00:03:39	I know what it means.
00:03:42	Your Honor...
00:03:48	imagine how the children in this
00:03:51	The constant pounding of construction
00:03:55	as this skyscraper...
00:03:58	grows daily, casting an ominous shadow
00:04:02	filling them with dread even as
00:04:07	Your Honor, Kendall Construction...
00:04:09	builds neighborhoods,
00:04:13	Granting a restraining order against
00:04:16	throw 753 Philadelphians
00:04:18	and lend validation to this contemptible
00:04:22	It's an example
00:04:24	that today is tearing
00:04:27	Let's not go off the deep end,
00:04:30	You've made an articulate and
00:04:34	but I don't believe
00:04:36	Not yet, Your Honor.
00:04:48	Proper use of trade name without...

00:08:39	Am I interrupting you?
00:08:41	In a word, Bob...
00:08:43	Charles wants to see you upstairs.
00:08:47	I was just about to take a break.
00:08:50	- I'm not underdressed for this?
00:08:52	Charles, Andy has expressed
00:08:55	in Highline, Inc. V. Sander Systems.
00:08:58	Isn't that right, Andy?
00:09:00	The fate of the participants
00:09:05	It's an antitrust action.
00:09:08	It is, and it isn't, Charles.
00:09:12	Sander Systems copies
00:09:16	For me...
00:09:18	the legal principle involved is
00:09:24	Well, tell me this, Andy.
00:09:26	Which side of this conflict would you
00:09:30	And don't allow my close personal
00:09:33	Sander Systems' C.E.O. To influence
00:09:39	Well, I'd like to see Highline
00:09:41	Oh! Why, Beckett?
00:09:46	If Sanders Systems wins...
00:09:48	an energetic,
00:09:52	The laws for antitrust and copyright
00:09:57	the kind of bullshit
00:10:00	- Andy, you know who reps Highline?
00:10:02	Oh, I object!
00:10:06	Rodney Bailey, who couldn't find his way
00:10:14	Well, apparently the fellas
00:10:19	Which explains why, as of 9:03
00:10:24	Highline is now represented by Wyant,
00:10:30	Outstanding.
00:10:33	And more specifically...
00:10:34	Senior Associate Andrew Beckett.

00:11:14	That... right there on your forehead.
00:11:16	Oh, I got whacked in the head
00:11:20	Excuse me.
00:11:26	Charles, I...
00:11:29	I sincerely appreciate
00:11:33	Faith, Andy, is the belief in something
00:11:38	It does not apply to this situation.
00:11:44	Well, go home.
00:11:46	Oh, no! Go back to work.
00:11:58	Thank you, Charles.
00:11:59	No sweat, buddy.

00:13:03	It's all set to go,
00:13:07	Sure. You got it.
00:13:09	No, that's it. I'm gonna be working
00:13:13	so, thanks a lot.
00:13:15	- Bye-bye.
00:13:17	Okay. Now, you're gonna want to apply
00:13:23	'Cause you don't want it to look
00:13:26	- Yeah.
00:13:28	- I got it.
00:13:30	Chandra, you don't think this is
00:13:34	Well, okay, it's Tahitian Bronze.
00:13:39	Think of it as the
00:13:42	Exactly. I've called in sick
00:13:44	and now they're gonna think

00:13:51	Okay, we can try this light Egypt...
00:13:55	What?
00:14:01	Excuse me.
00:14:09	Just like my cousin, Fredo.
00:14:18	Does anybody want a bagel?
00:14:34	You okay, Andy?
00:14:39	I think I need to go
00:14:56	Watch out!
00:15:10	Hello, hello.
00:15:13	It's all right.
00:15:15	- I'm gettin' out of here, all right?
00:15:17	I'll talk to you later.
00:15:19	Thank you for driving
00:15:22	- Take it easy, all right?
00:15:25	I told her to take a day off, and she
00:15:27	They took blood?
00:15:29	Blood, yes. A specimen, I'm empty.
00:15:33	Don't worry about it.
00:15:35	Oh, you got a fever, baby.
00:15:39	Oh, there's my guy.
00:15:42	Doctor? Hello, hi.
00:15:43	Just one second.
00:15:46	I came that close to not making it
00:15:49	- I almost lost it in front of everyone.
00:15:52	- It's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:15:56	- What about my blood work?
00:15:59	Meanwhile, I want to prep you
00:16:08	- It sounds delightful.
00:16:10	Why do you need to do this?
00:16:12	- Who are you?
00:16:15	- This is my partner.
00:16:18	He keeps the records of all my hospital
00:16:21	Oh, I'm Dr. Klenstein.
00:16:24	Listen, you're right. A colonoscopy
00:16:26	But if the K.S. Is causing the diarrhea,
00:16:31	No, but it could be parasites,
00:16:34	Reaction to the A.Z.T.
00:16:36	All these are possibilities,
00:16:38	Listen to me. He's not going through
00:16:41	until we cancel out everything else,
00:16:44	- I'm trying to help your partner, okay?
00:16:46	- You're not immediate family.
00:16:49	- I could have you removed from the E.R.
00:16:51	Look, he's upset. He's sorry.
00:16:54	No. Don't apologize for me, okay?
00:16:56	Okay. He's not sorry.
00:16:59	Let's find out
00:17:01	I'll try to give you a specimen.
00:17:05	Then we might hear from Dr. Gillman.
00:17:08	- Everybody happy? All right?
00:17:11	- I'll see the lab about the blood work.
00:17:15	I'm sorry.
00:17:19	That's the third time
00:17:21	- I better go.
00:17:23	I gotta go give them a call.
00:17:27	- I am relaxed.
00:17:29	Is there a phone around,
00:17:31	- Down the hall.
00:17:34	If you or someone you know has been
00:17:37	you may be entitled
00:17:39	or money damages
00:17:42	- Good Lord.
00:17:44	At McCreedy and...
00:17:45	Mr. Beckett's office.
00:17:47	Shelby, it's me.
00:17:50	I'm so glad you called, Andrew.
00:17:52	Listen, I just want you to know we have
00:17:56	It's about that Highline complaint.
00:17:59	All right. Calm down.
00:18:02	All right. One second.
00:18:04	Andy, this is a disaster! We can't find
00:18:07	Wait, wait. Slow down.
00:18:09	I told them you were working at home,
00:18:13	No. I brought it into the office
00:18:16	I was there till 3:00 a.m. There should
00:18:20	I'm telling you it's not here, Andy.
00:18:24	All right.
00:18:27	Print it up on the double and run it
00:18:31	- Okay. What did you file it under?
00:18:35	Jamey, I don't have to tell you we are
00:18:39	and it runs out in...
00:18:40	in 75 minutes?
00:18:47	- It's not here, Andy.
00:18:53	Every problem has a solution.
00:19:08	Aw, it's coming.
00:19:11	It's a girl.
00:19:14	Oh, my God.
00:19:18	- Take a picture, Joe.
00:19:22	Oh, my God.
00:19:29	Aw, look at her.
00:19:31	- That little, sweet little...
00:19:36	She's perfect, Lisa.
00:19:41	Go down to Famous Fourth Street Deli,
00:19:43	No... Scotch salmon.
00:19:45	Yeah. Some onion rolls, bagels...
00:19:49	- Nice champagne.
00:19:52	I don't care how much it costs.
00:19:54	- Thanks.
00:19:56	A hundred dollars? Don't get
00:19:58	Dom Perignon's too much. Get it all
00:20:01	No, Iris, not the baby.
00:20:05	Yeah, Lisa.
00:20:08	- Anybody call?
00:20:10	Beckett? Who's Andrew Beckett?
00:20:13	There he is! Joseph!
00:20:53	The entire street is clear, except for
00:20:58	This huge hole that is
00:21:01	- Yes.
00:21:04	You fall into the hole. Now you want
00:21:08	Yes. Do I have a case?
00:21:10	- Yes. Of course you've got a case.
00:21:14	- Go with my assistant Iris.
00:21:16	She'll have you fill out some forms,
00:21:20	Of course, you know we take no cash
00:21:23	How's your back? You got any
00:21:25	Funny you should mention that.
00:21:28	Iris will take good care of you.
00:21:31	- I will. Mr. Beckett's here.
00:21:34	Take care. Mr. Beckett?
00:21:40	Mr. Beckett, come in.
00:21:47	It's good to see you again,
00:21:49	Judge Tate. Kendall Construction.
00:21:52	"Innocuous."
00:21:55	How are you?
00:21:57	I have AIDS.
00:22:01	I'm sorry. I, uh...
00:22:09	- Can I sit down?
00:22:11	Thank you.
00:22:21	Oh, look at this.
00:22:23	You have a new baby.
00:22:29	Yeah.
00:22:35	"It's a girl."
00:22:40	Yeah. One week old.
00:22:41	Kids are great.
00:22:44	Yeah. Thank you, Beckett.
00:22:50	What can I do for you?
00:22:52	I've been fired by Wyant, Wheeler.
00:22:58	I want to bring a wrongful termination
00:23:02	You want to sue Wyant, Wheeler,
00:23:06	Correct.
00:23:10	Continue.
00:23:13	I misplaced an important complaint.
00:23:17	Want to hear mine?
00:23:23	How many lawyers did you go to
00:23:26	Nine.
00:23:29	Continue.
00:23:31	The night before it was due,
00:23:35	I left a copy of it on my desk.
00:23:38	The next day,
00:23:42	No hard copy.
00:23:45	All traces of it
00:23:50	Miraculously, a copy of the complaint
00:23:54	and we got it to court on time.
00:23:57	But the next day I was summoned
00:24:02	They were waiting for me
00:24:04	Oh, hello, Andy!
00:24:06	Would you mind hitting the windows?
00:24:11	Thanks. Come on in.
00:24:13	Kenneth, Robert, Charles,
00:24:17	Thanks for coming in.
00:24:19	Oh, of course.
00:24:20	Andy, before we begin,
00:24:24	that everyone in this room
00:24:27	I know that, Charles.
00:24:29	More than your friend...
00:24:32	family.
00:24:34	Charles, I must apologize again
00:24:40	That was some scary moment
00:24:44	Wow. Thank God
00:24:47	and no damage was done.
00:24:49	This time.
00:24:53	There won't be a next time.
00:24:56	I guarantee it.
00:24:57	Yeah. It's just that something's
00:25:01	I don't know...
00:25:03	some kind of stupor or fogginess.
00:25:07	Some people think you have
00:25:12	Really?
00:25:13	Who thinks that?
00:25:15	I do.
00:25:20	Excuse me.
00:25:23	Am I being fired?
00:25:26	Let me put it this way, Andy.
00:25:28	Your place in the future
00:25:32	We feel it isn't fair
00:25:35	when your prospects are limited.
00:25:39	And now,
00:25:43	We've got a committee meeting.
00:25:45	Excuse me, Charles...
00:25:46	with all due respect,
00:25:50	It doesn't make any sense.
00:25:52	Oh, you're right, Beckett.
00:25:55	Take it easy.
00:25:56	If you'd lost confidence in me,
00:25:59	Andy, you nearly blew the entire case.
00:26:04	It would have been
00:26:11	So you were
00:26:16	That's correct.
00:26:20	All right. Explain this to me
00:26:23	Because there's an element to this thing
00:26:29	Didn't you have an obligation
00:26:30	you had this dreaded, deadly,
00:26:34	That's not the point.
00:26:36	From the day they hired me
00:26:39	I served my clients consistently,
00:26:43	If they hadn't fired me,
00:26:45	And they don't want to fire you
00:26:48	so, in spite of your brilliance,
00:26:51	Thus, the mysterious lost files.
00:26:53	Correct. I was sabotaged.
00:27:00	I don't buy it, Counselor.
00:27:04	That's very disappointing.
00:27:06	I don't see a case.
00:27:11	I have a case.
00:27:14	If you don't want it
00:27:16	Thank you.
00:27:21	Well, thank you for your time,
00:27:34	I'm sorry about what happened to you.
00:27:49	Have a nice day, Mr. Beckett.
00:27:51	What the hell's the matter
00:27:53	Iris, find out
00:27:55	- Joe Miller's office.
00:27:57	- Find out if Armbruster can see me.
00:27:58	- Sometime this afternoon.
00:28:01	No. Right away, Iris.
00:28:32	Excuse me.
00:28:38	The HIV virus can only be transmitted
00:28:43	namely, blood, semen
00:28:46	Right. Yeah.
00:28:48	But isn't it true they're finding out
00:28:52	Now, you tell me today
00:28:54	I go home.
00:28:56	Then I find out six months from now
00:28:59	Whoops! Made a mistake.
00:29:02	on your shirt
00:29:06	What are you doing?
00:29:09	We're gonna draw blood.
00:29:10	- Why are we gonna do that?
00:29:12	Little Joe.
00:29:15	I've known you
00:29:18	And I don't care a whit
00:29:23	Thanks, Doc. I don't need
00:29:26	Just send a bill
00:29:28	Okay?
00:29:30	Thanks for the information.
00:29:38	You have a problem with gays, Joe.
00:29:40	- Not especially.
00:29:43	- How many gays do you know?
00:29:46	- Lots.
00:29:47	Karen Berman, my aunt Theresa...
00:29:51	Cousin Tommy
00:29:53	Eddie Meyers from the office...
00:29:56	Stanley, the guy who's putting in
00:29:59	Aunt Theresa is gay?
00:30:01	That beautiful, sensuous,
00:30:06	Since when?
00:30:07	Probably since she was born.
00:30:09	Oh, man.
00:30:11	All right. Well, hey,
00:30:14	I'm prejudiced. I don't like
00:30:16	- All right.
00:30:20	thing, don't they get confused?
00:30:21	"Oh, I don't know.
00:30:25	You know, I don't want to be in bed
00:30:29	or who has more hair
00:30:30	Now, you can call me old-fashioned,
00:30:36	Besides, I think you have to be a man
00:30:39	really disgusting
00:30:42	- Yeah?
00:30:44	Well, well.
00:30:46	You damn skippy.
00:30:48	Here you go, baby.
00:30:51	Joe, don't say that to her.
00:30:53	Think about those guys
00:30:55	trying to be macho and faggot
00:30:57	I mean, I can't stand that shit.
00:31:00	Hey, I'm bein' totally honest
00:31:02	- Oh, yeah. You are.
00:31:06	Would you accept a client...
00:31:08	if you were constantly thinking...
00:31:11	"I don't want this person to touch me.
00:31:13	I don't want him
00:31:17	- Not if I was you, honey.
00:31:19	What?
00:31:22	Ho, ho, ho!
00:31:27	- Merry Christmas.
00:31:30	- Hey, merry Christmas!
00:31:35	Thank...
00:31:37	Happy new year.
00:31:40	- You're the, uh, the TV guy.
00:32:30	Sir?
00:32:34	This is the supplement.
00:32:37	You're right. There is a section
00:32:41	Thank you.
00:32:43	Thank you very much.
00:32:55	We do have a private research room
00:32:58	I'm fine right here.
00:33:00	Excuse me. Do you know where I can find
00:33:03	Just a moment.
00:33:06	Thanks.
00:33:26	Wouldn't you be more comfortable
00:33:43	No.
00:33:45	Would it make you more comfortable?
00:33:56	Beckett. How you doin'?
00:34:03	Counselor.
00:34:17	Whatever, sir.
00:34:23	Excuse me.
00:34:35	Who'd you get?
00:34:38	What?
00:34:39	Did you find a lawyer?
00:34:42	I'm a lawyer.
00:34:46	Hey, how's your baby?
00:34:48	Oh, yeah. She's, uh...
00:34:50	She's wonderful, great.
00:34:52	What's her name?
00:34:54	Larice.
00:34:56	That's a beautiful name.
00:34:59	Named her after my sister.
00:35:39	Look, I'm, uh...
00:35:46	How'd they find out
00:35:48	One of the partners noticed
00:35:57	But how do you go from, uh...
00:36:00	How do you go from a lawyer spotting
00:36:05	to the partners deducing
00:36:08	and terminating you
00:36:14	That's a good point.
00:36:25	The partner who spotted the lesion,
00:36:28	worked for Walsh,
00:36:32	A paralegal there,
00:36:35	showed lesions on and off
00:36:38	She says it was common knowledge around
00:36:42	But they didn't fire her.
00:36:44	No. They did not fire her.
00:36:47	I see.
00:36:48	So you got a relevant precedent?
00:36:51	The Arline decision.
00:36:53	- Arline?
00:37:13	"The Federal Vocational
00:37:15	of 1973 prohibits
00:37:18	against otherwise
00:37:21	who are able to perform the duties
00:37:25	Although the ruling did not
00:37:27	of HIV and AIDS discrimination..."
00:37:29	"Subsequent decisions have held
00:37:33	under law, not only because of
00:37:38	but because the prejudice
00:37:40	exacts a social death which precedes...
00:37:47	which precedes
00:37:59	"This is the essence
00:38:02	Forming opinions about others
00:38:07	but rather their membership in a group
00:38:38	- Charles Wheeler.
00:38:41	- By golly, I'm glad to see you!
00:38:43	- Ken, how are ya?
00:38:46	Come over here.
00:38:53	Charles Wheeler, how you doin'?
00:38:55	- How are you?
00:38:56	- Welcome...
00:38:59	Take a look at it.
00:39:00	Hey, Dr.J. How are you?
00:39:03	If you ever need a lawyer for anything,
00:39:06	If you slip and fall, you know,
00:39:08	See you in court.
00:39:11	- The TV guy.
00:39:18	Say, Chuck, what's up?
00:39:20	Now, regarding Andy, I want to know
00:39:25	Does he frequent those pathetic bars
00:39:27	- Right.
00:39:28	What other homosexual facilities
00:39:31	- Absolutely.
00:39:33	What deviant groups or organizations
00:39:36	- First thing in the morning.
00:39:38	- Look...
00:39:40	Let's make a fair settlement offer
00:39:43	Bob...
00:39:45	Andy brought AIDS into our offices...
00:39:49	into our men's room.
00:39:51	He brought AIDS
00:39:55	We ought to be suing him, Bob.
00:39:57	Where is your compassion,
00:39:59	Bob, we gave him Highline.
00:40:03	"I might not be able to serve
00:40:07	He said nothing.
00:40:08	And now, disregarding the trust
00:40:12	Andrew Beckett proposes
00:40:16	to sling accusations at me,
00:40:20	in full view of the entire
00:40:25	My God!
00:40:29	Excuse me.
00:40:32	Beckett doesn't want to go to court.
00:40:36	A jury might decide
00:40:38	Wait a minute.
00:40:41	He was fired for incompetence,
00:40:45	You didn't know he was sick,
00:40:48	Holy shit.
00:40:53	No. No, not really.
00:41:06	Okay, everybody.
00:41:08	Everybody, this is the house
00:41:13	right here in the hometown
00:41:16	Wait, here's proof.
00:41:20	There. My handprints
00:41:25	Today is the 40th wedding anniversary
00:41:30	Isn't that somethin'?
00:41:31	Pretty tough life around this poverty
00:41:35	Well, those can be some pretty mean
00:41:38	Here's the front door.
00:41:41	this finger in the front door
00:41:47	There's my sisterJill,
00:41:49	- Say hello, Alexis.
00:41:53	What? Are you really?
00:41:57	- Hi, Meghan.
00:41:59	- Where's Dad?
00:42:03	It snows once in seven years,
00:42:06	Oh, me. How are you?
00:42:08	Oh, Mom, today's a good day.
00:42:11	Meghan, keep that up.
00:42:13	I gotta say hello
00:42:19	How are you?
00:42:22	Hi, Lee. How are you?
00:42:27	Put me down!
00:42:30	If you let me love you
00:42:32	It's for sure I'm gonna love you
00:42:37	All the way
00:42:41	All
00:42:43	Bud and Sarah
00:42:46	All the way
00:42:52	There will be things said at the trial
00:42:56	about me and my personal life.
00:42:58	And there's gonna be publicity. I want
00:43:02	Andy, you want me to take her?
00:43:04	No. She's fine.
00:43:07	I think it's great
00:43:09	but this is really your call.
00:43:13	All right.
00:43:18	Hey, you're my kid brother.
00:43:21	That's all that matters.
00:43:24	To be honest,
00:43:29	They've been through
00:43:30	And it's possible there are going to be
00:43:37	Andy, the way that you've handled
00:43:41	you and Miguel...
00:43:46	I don't believe there's anything...
00:43:48	that anyone could say
00:43:50	make us feel anything
00:43:57	Well, I didn't raise my kids
00:44:02	You get in there
00:44:07	Gee, I love you guys.
00:44:35	Ladies and gentlemen of thejury...
00:44:39	forget everything you've seen
00:44:44	There's not gonna be
00:44:46	Nobody's gonna break down on the stand
00:44:48	You're gonna be presented with
00:44:54	Andrew Beckett was fired.
00:44:56	You'll hear two explanations
00:44:59	Ours and theirs.
00:45:01	It is up to you to sift
00:45:06	until you determine for yourselves
00:45:10	There are certain points
00:45:12	Point number one:
00:45:16	is... a brilliant lawyer...
00:45:18	a great lawyer.
00:45:20	Point number two: Andrew Beckett,
00:45:24	made the understandable,
00:45:28	the legal choice to keep
00:45:31	Point number three:
00:45:36	And, ladies and gentlemen,
00:45:38	Point number four: They panicked.
00:45:46	And in their panic, they did what most
00:45:49	which is just get it
00:45:52	as far away from the rest of us
00:45:58	Now, the behavior of Andrew Beckett's
00:46:01	It does to me.
00:46:03	After all, AIDS is a deadly,
00:46:06	But no matter how you come to judge
00:46:10	in ethical, moral and human terms,
00:46:15	when they fired Andrew Beckett
00:46:19	they broke the law.
00:46:27	Fact:
00:46:31	Andrew Beckett's performance
00:46:35	varied from competent, good...
00:46:39	to oftentimes mediocre...
00:46:42	to sometimes flagrantly incompetent.
00:46:47	Fact:
00:46:50	He claims he's the victim
00:46:55	Fact:
00:46:57	It was Andrew Beckett who lied...
00:46:59	going to great lengths to conceal
00:47:04	Fact:
00:47:06	He was successful
00:47:12	The partners at Wyant, Wheeler
00:47:15	that Andrew Beckett had AIDS
00:47:22	Fact:
00:47:25	Andrew Beckett is dying.
00:47:33	Fact:
00:47:36	Andrew Beckett is angry...
00:47:41	because his lifestyle,
00:47:47	has cut short his life.
00:47:49	And in his anger, his rage...
00:47:53	he is lashing out.
00:47:55	And he wants someone to pay.
00:48:02	Thank you.
00:48:19	Andrew Beckett represented your company
00:48:23	That's correct.
00:48:25	Were you pleased
00:48:27	We were satisfied
00:48:33	Satisfied.
00:48:37	Mr. Laird, when I approached you
00:48:43	you gave sworn testimony
00:48:46	That's correct.
00:48:48	In that deposition, you said that
00:48:53	with the quality
00:48:56	Do you recall saying that?
00:49:04	In all honesty,
00:49:07	with certain aspects
00:49:11	But in general,
00:49:14	merely satisfactory.
00:49:23	Do you agree...
00:49:27	that a bologna sandwich
00:49:30	Whereas caviar
00:49:34	roast duck and baked Alaska...
00:49:38	that might be considered
00:49:40	We object. These gastronomical comments
00:49:45	They are not irrelevant.
00:49:47	Your Honor, five months ago this witness
00:49:52	Now he's a bologna sandwich.
00:49:54	I think the jury
00:49:56	what powerful force
00:50:02	He hasn't changed his mind.
00:50:04	He's amplified his answer.
00:50:07	Objection sustained.
00:50:14	All right.
00:50:18	Mr. Laird, explain this to me
00:50:23	Did Andrew Beckett
00:50:28	Yes, we won.
00:50:29	Oh, congratulations!
00:50:34	satisfactory experience.
00:50:37	"AIDS Cures Homosexuality"
00:51:04	- Ready, Mr. Beckett?
00:51:06	No rights for sodomites!
00:51:12	Adam and Eve!
00:51:14	Thou shalt not lie
00:51:17	Do you see this
00:51:20	I am not political.
00:51:24	But you are gay, aren't you?
00:51:26	I don't see how that's
00:51:32	Totally irrelevant.
00:51:33	Do you think that homosexuals
00:51:36	- Hell, no!
00:51:39	the City of Brotherly Love,
00:51:43	where the Founding Fathers authored
00:51:46	I don't recall that
00:51:48	anything about all straight men
00:51:51	I believe it says
00:51:54	Gimme a goddamn break.
00:51:56	As far as someone being fired
00:51:59	if we found that their action
00:52:01	they'd do no business with the city.
00:52:03	- Thank you, Mayor.
00:52:06	You're not getting a little light
00:52:20	Yeah, I am, Filko.
00:52:24	I'm on the prowl.
00:52:27	And I'm looking for a hunk,
00:52:29	I mean a man,
00:52:33	You can tell everybody. You know
00:52:37	- Remember? You're the first mate?
00:52:40	Let me tell you something.
00:52:43	But a law's been broken.
00:52:46	You remember the law?
00:52:53	At least we agree
00:52:55	What's that, Charlie?
00:52:58	Tutti-fruttis make me sick too.
00:53:07	Ms. Benedict, is it true you worked
00:53:11	at the same time as Walter Kenton?
00:53:14	That's correct.
00:53:16	At that time,
00:53:18	the K.S. Lesions on your face
00:53:21	Definitely.
00:53:25	How did Walter Kenton treat you
00:53:29	Every time he'd come in contact with me,
00:53:34	I refer to it
00:53:36	As in, "Oh, God,
00:53:40	Thank you, Ms. Benedict.
00:53:44	Ms. Benedict,
00:53:47	Through a transfusion. I lost a lot of
00:53:51	So, in your case
00:53:55	which caused you to be
00:53:57	It was something you were unable
00:54:03	I guess.
00:54:09	Thank you.
00:54:11	But I don't
00:54:13	any different from anyone else
00:54:16	I'm not guilty. I'm not innocent.
00:54:21	Thank you, Ms. Benedict.
00:54:23	No further questions
00:54:27	You may step down, Mrs. Benedict.
00:54:32	Beyond noticing
00:54:34	were there other things
00:54:38	that made you suspect
00:54:42	He was getting thinner,
00:54:45	But he was working so hard.
00:54:49	And I can't believe they're pretending
00:54:54	Objection.
00:54:56	Just answer the question, please.
00:54:58	Have you ever felt discriminated against
00:55:04	Well, yes.
00:55:06	- In what way?
00:55:08	Mr. Wheeler's secretary, Lydia...
00:55:11	said that Mr. Wheeler
00:55:14	- Really?
00:55:18	that they were too...
00:55:21	She told me he said
00:55:23	if I wore something
00:55:26	a little smaller and more American.
00:55:31	What'd you say?
00:55:32	I said, "My earrings are American.
00:55:35	They're African-American."
00:55:41	Let's have order, please.
00:55:43	Thank you. No more questions.
00:55:44	Ms. Burton...
00:55:46	weren't you recently promoted?
00:55:51	Yes. I'm in charge
00:55:56	Congratulations on your unfettered
00:56:00	I don't know if I'd go so far
00:56:03	I don't understand.
00:56:07	the promotion of an obviously...
00:56:11	intelligent, articulate...
00:56:13	qualified
00:56:17	in a firm which practices
00:56:19	as wantonly and consistently
00:56:26	- I can't explain it.
00:56:29	that these...
00:56:32	instances of discrimination...
00:56:34	are in fact misunderstandings...
00:56:37	that have been blown
00:56:43	I think counsel tends to
00:56:47	Thank you, Miss Burton,
00:56:49	take that note
00:57:12	- How's the trial going?
00:57:13	It's a great case. I saw you on
00:57:16	- How you doing?
00:57:18	- Saw me on TV?
00:57:20	It's a good school, Penn.
00:57:22	Second. Listen,
00:57:26	this case,
00:57:29	I wanted to let you know
00:57:32	- Hey.
00:57:36	When you graduate,
00:57:38	Okay. All right.
00:57:41	- Listen, Joe?
00:57:44	Would you like to have a drink? I just
00:57:47	Ah, no, I can't.
00:57:52	I don't pick up people
00:58:04	- You think I'm gay?
00:58:07	What's the matter?
00:58:10	Do I look gay to you?
00:58:13	- Relax.
00:58:16	Take it as a compliment.
00:58:22	That is exactly the kind of bullshit
00:58:27	faggoty ass.
00:58:29	You want to try
00:58:31	- Asshole.
00:58:42	Please continue, Ms. O'Hara.
00:58:44	We were going crazy looking
00:58:48	I felt like I was
00:58:50	Mr. Beckett was screaming
00:58:54	He looked so freaky.
00:58:56	Mr. Kenton kept saying,
00:58:59	And he called Mr. Wheeler,
00:59:02	Jamey comes in with the complaint
00:59:06	- He says, "It was in central files."
00:59:11	Central files is a place where paperwork
00:59:16	Jamey ran it over
00:59:18	and everybody just stood
00:59:24	And Mr...
00:59:27	And Mr. Beckett
00:59:29	"I'm sorry. Sorry.
00:59:34	Thank you, Ms. O'Hara.
00:59:37	No further questions
00:59:39	All right. Mr. Miller.
00:59:48	- May I?
01:00:00	Thank you.
01:00:02	- You okay?
01:00:05	- You want a glass of water?
01:00:11	Was Andy a good boss?
01:00:13	Yes.
01:00:16	He was very sweet.
01:00:20	How would you characterize
01:00:26	How would I know?
01:00:31	Excuse me, Your Honor,
01:00:35	Mr. Miller, perhaps you should
01:00:38	Yes, sir.
01:00:51	- Miss O'Hara?
01:00:54	Were you aware...
01:00:56	at any time of any problems
01:00:59	with the quality of Andrew's work
01:01:05	No, I wasn't.
01:01:07	Thank you.
01:01:15	Is Andrew Becket the kind of lawyer
01:01:20	Not to my knowledge. No.
01:01:23	If you wanted to make a lawyer look
01:01:28	Hiding an important document
01:01:31	and then making it look like
01:01:35	Why would Mr. Wheeler and the others
01:01:39	Because they found out
01:01:41	- He's not answering the question.
01:01:43	We've had lawyers with heart attacks,
01:01:48	No one sandbagged them.
01:01:50	Did you have something to do with this
01:01:55	- Objection.
01:01:56	Did you have anything
01:02:00	Absolutely not.
01:02:01	Are you a homosexual?
01:02:03	- What?
01:02:08	A faggot? A punk?
01:02:09	A queen, pillow biter, fairy?
01:02:12	Bootie snatcher, rump roaster?
01:02:16	- Objection!
01:02:18	Where did this come from? Suddenly
01:02:21	Mr. Collins' sexual orientation
01:02:27	Please have a seat, Miss Conine.
01:02:33	Would you approach the bench,
01:02:47	Could you kindly
01:02:50	exactly what's going on
01:02:52	because at this moment,
01:02:59	Your Honor...
01:03:03	everybody in this courtroom...
01:03:06	is thinking about sexual orientation,
01:03:10	whatever you want to call it.
01:03:12	Who does what to whom
01:03:16	They're looking at Andrew Beckett.
01:03:20	They're looking at Mr. Wheeler,
01:03:23	They're wondering about it.
01:03:27	Trust me, I know they're looking at me
01:03:30	So let's get it out in the open.
01:03:35	Because this case is not
01:03:38	So let's talk about what
01:03:41	The general public's hatred,
01:03:43	our fear of homosexuals...
01:03:48	and how that climate
01:03:51	translated into the firing
01:03:55	my client, Andrew Beckett.
01:04:00	Please have a seat, Mr. Miller.
01:04:07	Very good.
01:04:09	In this courtroom, Mr. Miller,
01:04:12	to matters of race, creed, color...
01:04:16	religion and sexual orientation.
01:04:19	With all due respect,
01:04:24	we don't live in this courtroom,
01:04:27	No, we don't.
01:04:30	However, as regards to this witness...
01:04:32	I'm going to sustain
01:04:37	How many weeks would you be out to sea
01:04:41	Oh, anywhere from two weeks
01:04:46	Any women on board?
01:04:48	Not when I was in the navy.
01:04:53	So, during these long voyages...
01:04:56	months at a time out to sea,
01:05:00	hundreds of hardworking, robust
01:05:04	at the peak of their natural appetites
01:05:08	their God-given hormonal instincts,
01:05:13	Going on? Like what?
01:05:14	Like two sailors down below
01:05:18	- Objection.
01:05:22	We had one guy like that.
01:05:24	You haven't ruled on my objection,
01:05:26	Go on, Mr. Miller.
01:05:28	You had one guy like that.
01:05:32	He strutted around quarters naked
01:05:36	Made everyone sick.
01:05:38	He was destroying our morale.
01:05:40	So we let him know this kind
01:05:44	How'd you do that?
01:05:46	We stuck his head in a latrine
01:05:49	- You taught him a lesson, didn't you?
01:05:53	- Like firing Andrew taught him a lesson.
01:05:55	I withdraw. You were aware
01:05:59	that she had AIDS, correct?
01:06:01	- She didn't try to conceal it.
01:06:03	of the difference between
01:06:06	Beckett told me he had been hit
01:06:10	Did you avoid contact with Ms. Benedict
01:06:14	She says and I quote, that you were
01:06:20	I felt,
01:06:22	but the deepest sympathy and compassion
01:06:26	who contracted this terrible disease
01:06:44	Don't move now.
01:06:51	Okay.
01:07:06	Boy. It's not going through.
01:07:11	We may have to flush it out again.
01:07:20	The vein's closed.
01:07:23	We've got to call Barbara.
01:07:26	- Nurse Ratchett.
01:07:29	Yeah. Tell her to come over.
01:07:37	Look, I've... There's so much stuff
01:07:43	Can we... Can we just skip
01:07:46	No. We are not
01:07:50	It's my arm, and it's my treatment,
01:08:01	Well...
01:08:05	You know something?
01:08:08	That stuff is saving your life.
01:08:10	What's the matter with you tonight?
01:08:13	Close the law book.
01:08:14	Will you just...
01:08:27	The least you can do...
01:08:29	is look at me...
01:08:31	and give me a little
01:08:34	Got it?
01:08:37	You are worried...
01:08:40	we don't have very much time left,
01:08:45	No. No.
01:09:01	I'll tell you
01:09:04	I'm going to start planning
01:09:08	I'm going to start preparing
01:09:17	Maybe you should
01:09:37	No.
01:09:50	I've got a better idea.
01:10:06	- Hi, Andrew. Hi, Miguel.
01:10:09	- Oh, Joe Miller, Counselor.
01:10:12	- Are you Lisa? Nice to meet you.
01:10:15	- You look wonderful!
01:10:19	- Miguel's sister, Maria.
01:10:23	- Do you care for something to drink?
01:10:28	You're looking, uh, alive tonight!
01:10:31	I had a blood transfusion,
01:10:34	So, you like it?
01:10:38	You get it?
01:10:40	- It's not bad.
01:10:43	- What are you drinking?
01:10:45	Can I have some
01:10:50	We've got to get to this Q and A
01:10:53	Sure. Just one problem.
01:10:55	- I'm at a party right now.
01:10:58	- We'll get to it, just later.
01:11:01	Hi, Joe Miller.
01:11:03	- Do I know you?
01:11:06	Ah. Uh, lawsuit.
01:11:10	Nice. Have fun.
01:11:21	Mr. Sandman
01:11:23	Bring me a dream
01:11:25	Make him the cutest boy
01:11:29	Give him two lips
01:11:33	Then tell me that
01:11:36	Mr. Sandman
01:11:38	I'm so alone
01:11:40	Don't have a boyfriend
01:11:43	Oh, won't you please turn on
01:11:47	Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
01:11:51	It is hard to imagine
01:11:54	Oh, that nothing at all
01:11:59	Could be so exciting
01:12:06	And so much fun
01:12:09	Oh, heaven
01:12:15	Is a place
01:12:20	Where nothing
01:12:25	Can go wrong
01:12:50	Thank you.
01:12:57	- Thank you.
01:13:01	Congratulations, Counselor.
01:13:04	Congratulations?
01:13:05	You've survived what I assume to be
01:13:15	Let me tell you something.
01:13:17	When you're brought up the way
01:13:20	there's not a whole lot of discussion
01:13:23	or what do you call it,
01:13:27	As a kid you're taught
01:13:30	Queers dress up like their mother,
01:13:34	that they're a danger
01:13:36	That all they want to do
01:13:42	That pretty much sums up the general
01:13:48	- Thank you for sharing that with me.
01:13:50	Let's go over this testimony.
01:13:56	Okay. First I'll ask you...
01:13:59	"Can you describe
01:14:01	you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
01:14:04	Miller?
01:14:07	Do you ever pray?
01:14:12	Andrew, that is not
01:14:15	But, yes, I pray.
01:14:18	- What do you pray for?
01:14:21	I pray that... I don't know!
01:14:25	I pray my baby is healthy.
01:14:29	I pray the Phillies
01:14:33	Now, can we go through
01:14:36	Number one: "Can you describe
01:14:39	you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
01:14:42	Can you do that for me?
01:14:44	There's a possibility I won't be around
01:14:49	Yes, I've considered that.
01:14:51	I've made some provisions
01:14:57	Miguel will need a lawyer.
01:15:01	I know a good probate lawyer.
01:15:03	- Thank you.
01:15:06	"Can you describe
01:15:09	you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
01:15:18	Do you mind this music?
01:15:25	I am not that familiar
01:15:31	Oh, this is my favorite aria.
01:15:35	It's Maria Callas.
01:15:39	It's Andrea Chenier.
01:15:43	Umberto Giordano.
01:15:48	This is Madeleine.
01:15:52	She's saying how...
01:15:55	during the French Revolution
01:16:02	And her mother died,
01:16:06	She says, "Look!
01:16:08	The place that cradled me
01:16:15	I am alone."
01:16:25	Do you hear the heartache
01:16:29	Can you feel it?
01:16:38	Now, in come the strings,
01:16:43	It's like the music...
01:16:50	And that'll change again.
01:16:56	Listen.
01:17:01	"I bring sorrow
01:17:04	Oh, that single cello!
01:17:16	"It was during this sorrow
01:17:28	A voice filled with harmony.
01:17:34	It said, "Live still.
01:17:40	I am life.
01:17:44	Heaven is in your eyes.
01:18:28	It's everything around you.
01:18:33	I am divine!
01:18:37	I am oblivion.
01:18:41	I am the god...
01:18:47	that comes down from the heavens
01:18:50	and makes of the earth a heaven.
01:19:05	I am love.
01:19:09	I am love."
01:19:30	Geez, I better get out of here.
01:19:34	Lisa's...
01:19:40	I'll look over the Q and A.
01:19:43	No, you're ready.
01:20:21	Jesus.
01:20:49	God.
01:21:28	Yes, baby.
01:21:33	Oh, I love you, little Larice.
01:23:12	Place your left hand on the Bible.
01:23:14	Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
01:23:18	- I do.
01:23:24	Andrew, can you describe
01:23:29	you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
01:23:35	Wyant, Wheeler
01:23:39	They were the most
01:23:42	full of opportunity.
01:23:44	And I was impressed
01:23:47	- Including Charles Wheeler?
01:23:50	What impressed you about him?
01:23:53	He was the kind of lawyer
01:23:56	What kind of lawyer is that?
01:23:58	Possessed of an encyclopedic
01:24:02	a razor-sharp litigator,
01:24:05	Gifted at bringing out
01:24:09	and an awesome ability
01:24:13	the most complex of legal concepts
01:24:18	to the man in the street.
01:24:21	The kind of person who can play
01:24:26	but doesn't sweat.
01:24:28	Underneath an elegant surface...
01:24:32	he has an adventurous spirit.
01:24:36	In the years
01:24:39	did you ever tell Charles Wheeler
01:24:42	No, I didn't.
01:24:44	Why not?
01:24:45	You don't bring your personal life
01:24:48	You're not supposed to have
01:24:50	Anyway, I did plan
01:24:55	But then something happened...
01:24:58	at the racket club...
01:24:59	about three years ago.
01:25:03	Somebody started telling
01:25:10	What do you call a woman who has
01:25:14	I don't know!
01:25:17	A bitch who knows everything.
01:25:19	Sounds like someone I know.
01:25:22	Hey, Walter, how does a faggot
01:25:26	He throws a quart of hot yogurt
01:25:32	That reminds me...
01:25:33	How'd that make you feel?
01:25:34	Relieved...
01:25:37	that I never told him
01:25:41	Just very relieved.
01:25:44	All right.
01:25:46	Are you a good lawyer, Andrew?
01:25:48	I'm an excellent lawyer.
01:25:51	What makes you
01:25:53	I love the law.
01:25:55	I know the law.
01:25:57	I excel at practicing.
01:25:59	What do you love
01:26:03	I... Many things.
01:26:08	What I love the most?
01:26:09	Yes.
01:26:13	Is that
01:26:15	not often, but occasionally...
01:26:19	you get to be a part of...
01:26:21	justice being done.
01:26:27	That really is...
01:26:29	quite a thrill
01:26:38	Thank you, Andrew.
01:26:43	You said earlier...
01:26:45	you aspire to be the kind of person
01:26:51	Something like that.
01:26:53	Do you take risks?
01:26:55	In my work, yes.
01:26:58	You have to.
01:27:04	Did your doctor ever tell you
01:27:08	That long hours
01:27:11	might damage the immune system...
01:27:13	and speed up your illness?
01:27:16	My doctor mentioned the impact AIDS...
01:27:22	My doctor mentioned the impact
01:27:27	Have you ever been
01:27:31	on 21st Street?
01:27:44	I've been to...
01:27:48	that...
01:27:50	I've been to that theater...
01:27:53	three times in my life.
01:27:56	What kind of movies
01:27:58	Gay movies.
01:28:01	Gay pornographic movies?
01:28:03	Yes.
01:28:06	Objection, Your Honor.
01:28:08	Your Honor, this line of questioning
01:28:14	Let's see where this is going.
01:28:19	Do men have sex with each other
01:28:24	Some men.
01:28:27	Have you ever had sex with anyone
01:28:30	I'm Robert.
01:28:32	Andy.
01:28:34	Yes.
01:28:36	Once.
01:28:38	When? Approximately what year
01:28:45	I guess it was 1984.
01:28:49	'84, '85.
01:28:52	Were you aware in 1984, '85...
01:28:55	that there was a fatal disease
01:28:58	and that you could contract it
01:29:04	I'd heard of some...
01:29:10	The gay plague, the gay cancer.
01:29:13	We didn't know
01:29:17	or that it killed you.
01:29:21	Do you need a break, Mr. Beckett?
01:29:26	No. I could use some water, though.
01:29:29	John, would you
01:29:36	While you were employed at Wyant,
01:29:39	to make sure no one knew
01:29:44	Correct?
01:29:45	No.
01:29:47	That's not correct.
01:29:57	As a homosexual...
01:29:59	one is often forced to conceal
01:30:04	Isn't that right?
01:30:07	In some circumstances, yes.
01:30:09	Isn't it true you've spent your life
01:30:12	so much so that the art
01:30:17	- has become second nature...
01:30:20	I'll withdraw it,
01:30:23	Mr. Beckett, were you living with...
01:30:26	Miguel Alvarez...
01:30:28	in 1984 or '85
01:30:33	anonymous sexual encounter
01:30:39	Yes.
01:30:42	So you could have infected him,
01:30:46	Miguel has not been infected.
01:30:48	You didn't answer my question.
01:30:50	You could have infected Mr. Alvarez
01:30:58	Yes.
01:31:00	You've testified that
01:31:03	were visible to the people
01:31:07	That's right.
01:31:09	And you contend that when the partners
01:31:13	that they leapt to the conclusion
01:31:17	Is that correct?
01:31:21	As painful as it is...
01:31:24	to accuse my former colleagues...
01:31:27	of such reprehensible behavior...
01:31:31	it is the only conclusion
01:31:35	Do you have any lesions
01:31:40	One here...
01:31:43	right by my ear.
01:31:48	Your Honor,
01:31:50	Yes, you may.
01:32:03	Remembering that
01:32:06	answering truthfully...
01:32:08	can you see the lesions
01:32:12	from three feet away?
01:32:14	Answering truthfully.
01:32:24	Well, l...
01:32:27	I had four lesions,
01:32:30	Could you answer
01:32:37	Well, no.
01:32:44	No more questions, Your Honor.
01:32:48	This would be a good time
01:32:51	- We can reconvene in the morning.
01:32:55	Your Honor, may I have
01:32:59	Mr. Beckett, can you go on
01:33:03	- Three minutes.
01:33:06	May I borrow your mirror, please?
01:33:15	Do you have any lesions on any part
01:33:19	that resemble the lesions
01:33:22	at the time that you were fired?
01:33:24	Yes. On my torso.
01:33:28	Your torso.
01:33:31	I would like to ask Andrew
01:33:33	so that everyone could get an accurate
01:33:37	Objection.
01:33:38	Your Honor, it would
01:33:42	Your Honor, if Andrew was forced to use
01:33:46	would the defense ask him
01:33:49	because it would
01:33:51	We're talking about AIDS, about lesions.
01:33:55	I'll allow it.
01:33:58	Mr. Beckett, would you please
01:34:11	My God, what a nightmare!
01:34:15	He asked for it.
01:34:59	Can you see the lesions
01:35:03	Yes.
01:35:06	Thank you.
01:35:17	Do you swear to tell the whole truth,
01:35:21	I do.
01:35:22	Please be seated.
01:35:33	Mr. Wheeler, were you aware
01:35:37	was suffering from AIDS at the time
01:35:42	- No.
01:35:45	did you fire Andrew Beckett...
01:35:48	because he had AIDS?
01:35:51	No, I did not fire Andrew Beckett
01:35:56	Mr. Wheeler, can you explain,
01:36:01	why you promoted...
01:36:02	Andrew Beckett through your firm?
01:36:05	And then, most importantly...
01:36:09	why you eventually
01:36:14	If you're the owner
01:36:18	you recruit the hot rookie.
01:36:21	And Andy was tremendously promising
01:36:26	Fresh out of Penn.
01:36:30	That's why we went after him.
01:36:32	And that's why we stuck with him
01:36:38	Why did you give him...
01:36:40	opportunity after opportunity?
01:36:43	Well, when you groom someone...
01:36:46	the way we groomed Andy,
01:36:51	lavishing all kinds of
01:36:55	you make quite an investment.
01:36:58	We were waiting for the promise
01:37:02	But ultimately
01:37:05	ignore the gap between
01:37:16	Thank you, Mr. Wheeler.
01:37:21	No more questions
01:37:23	Mr. Miller?
01:37:27	Objection!
01:37:28	- Your Honor, objection.
01:37:31	- That'll be sufficient.
01:37:35	You are my hero.
01:37:38	Andrew is right.
01:37:42	Are you gay?
01:37:44	Objection.
01:37:49	How dare you!
01:37:50	Witness will kindly answer.
01:37:56	No, I am not a homosexual.
01:37:59	Isn't it true that
01:38:01	Andrew Beckett... your golden boy,
01:38:05	was gay and had AIDS...
01:38:07	it drove a stake of fear
01:38:11	Remembering...
01:38:12	all the hugs and handshakes,
01:38:16	the friendly pats on the backside
01:38:19	like guys exchange.
01:38:20	It made you say, "My God!
01:38:25	What does this say about me?"
01:38:27	Objection, Your Honor.
01:38:31	The witness will please
01:38:36	You may tap dance around me
01:38:38	with your innuendoes
01:38:42	But the truth still remains
01:38:46	worked when he wanted to work...
01:38:48	telling us what he thought we needed
01:38:52	Andy insisted on bending the rules...
01:38:55	and his work suffered tremendously
01:38:59	Explain this like I'm a six-year-old,
01:39:04	Who makes these rules that
01:39:08	Read your Bible, Mr. Miller,
01:39:13	Pretty valuable rules in there.
01:39:15	Excuse me.
01:39:20	Excuse... I can't...
01:39:27	Excuse me!
01:39:28	Christ's sakes, somebody get a doctor!
01:39:32	What is it?
01:39:35	- Call an ambulance, please?
01:39:39	An ambulance, please!
01:39:42	Please make room for him.
01:39:48	It's not working.
01:39:50	- Please, sir!
01:39:51	- They know how to save him.
01:39:57	Did you notice any changes
01:40:01	over the course of the year
01:40:05	Yes. I did.
01:40:08	Were these changes for the better
01:40:11	Sometimes for the better,
01:40:15	Mr. Seidman, what did you think caused
01:40:21	I was afraid.
01:40:25	I suspected Andy had AIDS.
01:40:29	- Order.
01:40:32	- Miss Conine?
01:40:35	did you share your suspicions
01:40:38	or any of the other managing partners
01:40:42	before the decision
01:40:45	No. I didn't.
01:40:47	I didn't mention it to anyone...
01:40:50	not even Andy.
01:40:51	I didn't even give him a chance
01:40:57	And I think
01:40:59	for as long as I live.
01:41:02	- Any more questions, Miss Conine?
01:41:05	They are sayin'he wasn't
01:41:09	And the fact that they gave him the most
01:41:14	for one of their most
01:41:16	They say that doesn't prove anything
01:41:21	- What'd they call it? A carrot?
01:41:24	To see if he'd rise to the occasion.
01:41:28	Say I gotta send a pilot
01:41:31	and he's gonna be flyin' a plane
01:41:36	Who am I gonna put in that plane?
01:41:38	Some rookie who can't cut it so
01:41:43	Or am I gonna give that assignment
01:41:47	my sharpest, my most experienced,
01:41:50	the very best I got?
01:41:53	I just don't get that.
01:41:56	Would somebody please
01:42:00	like I'm a six-year-old?
01:42:03	- Juror number six?
01:42:06	- Juror number seven?
01:42:11	- Juror number nine?
01:42:14	Juror number ten?
01:42:16	- I disagree.
01:42:19	- I agree.
01:42:22	Agree.
01:42:24	Have you awarded any damages?
01:42:27	Yes, Your Honor, we have.
01:42:29	For back pay and loss of benefits
01:42:34	For mental anguish and humiliation
01:42:39	And for punitive damages
01:42:48	You may record the verdict.
01:42:51	Everyone remain seated
01:42:54	How could they do that?
01:43:00	This trial is now concluded.
01:43:06	Congratulations!
01:43:09	We'll strain ourselves
01:43:12	- We'll get started in the morning.
01:43:14	Congratulations, Mr. Miller.
01:43:18	Congratulations.
01:43:23	Oh, man.

01:43:38	- You know where the room is?
01:43:40	- Right there.
01:43:43	Thanks.
01:43:45	If he leaves the hospital,
01:43:48	don't expect him to be
01:43:53	He's lost the vision
01:43:56	and because of the C.M.V.
01:44:00	- Next door, to the right.
