Previously on l.a. Law...
Look, stuart. I
know that camping
Was not your first
choice for a vacation,
And I just want you
to know how much
I appreciate your being so open.
Could you throw some
toilet paper over here?
Yeah. Where'd you pack it?
I didn't pack it. You did.
Uh-uh. You did.
What am I supposed to do?
How 'bout a leaf?
A leaf?
Any kind of doctor
can treat poison sumac,
Or whatever it was.
Did you, uh,
Did you remember to
bring the leaf specimen?
Next day I go down to the pier,
The harbor master tells me
Internal revenue agents
have seized the boat.
They left me a notice I
owed $540,000 in taxes.
The irs is saying you're
using your boat to run dr*gs.
dr*gs?
Your honor, ron
messer is being forced
Into personal
and financial ruin.
Unfortunately, mr. Kuzak,
There's been no
showing that the levee
Was anything but proper.
As such, I'm not at
liberty to disturb it.
Some kid takes a pot shot at me,
And all of a sudden
I'm supposed to be
The department's hard-ass.
You have been pushing
me and everyone else away
With the booze and
the tranquilizers.
It's not you, grace.
Mickey. Be a pal, huh?
Get off my back.
Now, I'm gonna go out.
And when I come back,
The pills better be gone,
The booze better be gone,
Or you better be gone.
I'm going away, mickey.
As soon as I understand
what I really want,
I promise you'll be
the first one to know.

Hi, boys and girls.
Welcome to uncle
willard's animal farm.
Good morning, uncle willard.
It's further on.
Oh.
More. More. More.
There.
There, you see. He's
sleeping with that pig.
Arlene.
Are you sure you
wanna go through
The agony of a divorce over
Some little fling with
a young assistant?
Not the assistant. The pig.
I caught him in
bed with the pig.
Wait. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Hold it.
Are you saying that
you caught uncle willard
In bed with a sow?
You don't believe me, do you?
She's gotta go 3... 400 Pounds.
Fine. Fine. I'll get
another lawyer.
Calm down. Uh, if
you say you saw it,
That's good enough for me.
But whatever, uh,
He and the... The
pig were doing,
The point is it's not
Central to your... To your case.
My husband commits
an inconceivable
Act of perversion
with a barnyard animal
And it's not central to my case?
Not in california.
Uh, not under the
no-fault statutes.
Uh, short of
alerting the aspca i... I
I don't know what
else we can do.
But we could expose him.
I mean, you could
go to the press.
What I'd like to do, um,
I'd like to try a
little quiet diplomacy,
Uh, with your permission,
I'd like to get your husband's
lawyer on the phone,
And set up a meeting
for later in the week,
And then if we come
up against a brick wall,
Then we can weigh in with
the private investigators,
And the big cannons,
And doesn't that
make better sense?
Well, i... I suppose so.
Great. I'll, uh, let you know
When it's set up,
uh... Thank you.
Oh.
You tell me.
Personally, I think it's a
"pigment" of her imagination.
People vs. Furnald.
Uh, victor seems to think
They'll get to closing
arguments tomorrow.
With victor and
abby tied up, douglas,
What's the status
of the litigation
Related to the late sparky?
I decided enough
of my life has been
Consumed by it already.
Mutual releases
have been ex*cuted,
And I'm putting it behind me.
Speaking of which...
How's the poison sumac?
The end is in sight.
Touché.
Schulian prenuptial.
What's this matter
doing still pending?
Well, the bride-to-be's
lawyer's been ducking me.
I can't even get the
guy on the phone.
I thought we agreed
this was a no-win situation,
And you were gonna farm it
out to lester friedman's firm.
Well, sure. And then
they tell 'em, they say,
"Hey, since we did such a
great job with the pre-nup,
"Why don't you let us take a
look at your corporate stuff?"
And the next thing you
know, schulian is theirs.
Arnold. These people are
supposed to get married saturday.
I know that, douglas.
I'm gonna take care of it.
Get off my back.
Messer vs. Internal
revenue service.
Yeah. The court handed
down an interim ruling
That at least I get to see
the surveillance reports.
Messer's out running around
trying to find his old crew members
To testify that he was not in
valparaiso picking up cargo,
And also that there were not
certain individuals aboard his boat.
But right now I feel
like I'm shadow boxing.
Yeah. When the service
hammers you, you stay hammered.
Well, I think that concludes...
I, uh, I have, uh,
one announcement.
Later this afternoon
I'll be going into
cedars sinai for surgery.
Now, if you want to
reach me for any reason,
Please leave word with iris.
Leland?
What... What is it?
What's wrong with him?
We're adjourned.
Leland.
What's going on?
I'm going in for minor
surgery. It is nothing.
It's not nothing.
You're pale as a ghost.
It's obvious you're in pain.
Michael. Please.
My health is no one's
concern but my own.
Outside the family,
maybe. But not inside.
Leland, you have a whole group
Of very frightened
people out there
Who deserve to
know what's going on.
I'm going in for...
Hemorrhoidectomy.
Ah.
Well.
Well?
Um, I think you better sit down.
Oh god. Tell me.
Hemorrhoids. You despicable rat.
Hemorrhoids.
I told you it was nothing.
Well, what you told
me and how you behaved
Are two different things.
My god, leland. I
thought you were dying.
I'm sorry, but it's not the
most glamorous ailment
I could've conjured up.
Well, being
embarrassed is no excuse
For scaring me half to death.
No, it's not
embarrassment, iris.
What, then?
Fear.
Of hemorrhoids?
No. No. Of surgery.
Old age.
Loss of dignity, I
mean I'm scared, iris.
I've never been in the hospital.
People die in hospitals.
Oh, leland.
Oh, you'll be fine. You'll see.
We'll get you a rubber
doughnut to sit on
And you'll be back in
the office in a few days.
You'll mind the store, hm?
Of course.
One thing, though.
What?
Am I in your will?
And how common is
postpartum psychosis, doctor?
It affects about one
in a thousand women.
But since mrs. Furnald
had already suffered
A mild version after the
birth of her first child,
She had a one in three chance
of getting hit with it again.
And it hits much, much
harder the second time.
And what exactly is it?
After giving birth,
the mother's body
Goes through a series
of profound changes,
And sometimes when these
changes are particularly abrupt,
The woman can suffer from
acute hormonal imbalance.
And what are the
symptoms of this imbalance?
Usually just anxiety
and depression.
Maybe a loss of sleep.
In mrs. Furnald's case, however,
She became psychotic.
And did this psychosis
impair my client's ability
To distinguish right from wrong?
In my opinion, mrs.
Furnald was delusional
At the time she k*lled her baby.
She had no idea
what she was doing.
Thank you, dr. Koenig.
Are you telling this court
that she k*lled her child
Because of a bout
with "the baby blues?"
It was more than "the
baby blues," counselor.
It... It's a depression
that becomes so acute
It parallels schizophrenia.
Doctor, you're
talking about a disease
That the national
psychiatrist's association
Refuses to even recognize.
It's recognized in england.
The fact that
doctors in this country
Are slow to acknowledge
it doesn't mean it isn't real.
Don't you think it should at
least be listed in the books
Before we allow people
to use it as an excuse
To commit m*rder?
Nothing further.
Mrs. Furnald?
What was it you thought you saw
When you looked into the crib?
He was on fire.
Flames seemed to
just, uh, engulf him.
Was the fire confined
to your son, mrs. Furnald?
At first. Then it was
like these fire balls
Were sh**ting all
around the room,
Surrounding me.
What did you do?
Well, for some
reason I kept thinking
It was the oxygen
from clinton's mouth
That was feeding the fire.
So, i, uh, i... I
picked up a pillow
And I put it on his face.
What happened then?
I held it there.
I pushed it down just
as hard as I could,
And I held it there.
Do you know for how long?
Until the fire went away.
Until it went away for good.
I have nothing further.
Mr. Caporale?
Ma'am? Is it your testimony
That you were crazy
when you k*lled your son?
I guess so.
But according to your
doctors and psychiatrists,
You're sane now, right?
Yes. It was a temporary illness.
And on the morning
of that fateful day,
You cleaned the house,
drove your husband to work,
Went to the bank, went shopping.
Normal, everyday stuff. Right?
Yes.
So, what we have here is
a sane, rational person,
Who suddenly takes time
out in the middle of the day
To be crazy, kills the kid,
And resumes total sanity
just in time for trial.
Objection.
Sustained. That
remark is stricken.
Mrs. Furnald, isn't it true that
You complained to your
husband, your doctor,
And your neighbor, phoebe snell,
That the baby was
keeping you up nights?
What is that supposed to mean?
And isn't it true that
you told mrs. Snell
That taking care of two
kids was a real hardship?
You think I k*lled clinton
to cut down on my laundry?
You never wanted this
baby in the first place.
That is not true.
You were wearing an i.u.d.
At the time of conception.
You told your friends that
this baby was an accident.
Objection, your
honor. This is badgering
And it is totally irrelevant.
Your honor, I'm
just trying to show
That she never
wanted this child.
Not before he was
born, and not after.
I loved that boy
with all my heart.
Sit down, mrs. Furnald.
He was my son, for god's sake.
My son. I nursed
him... You k*lled him.
Objection.
I fed him, I bathed him,
I sang him to sleep every
single night of his life.
What tune were you
humming when you
Put him to sleep with a pillow?
Stop it!
Objection, your honor.
Order.
He was my baby. My little baby.
I loved him. He
was my little baby.
Gentlemen. I'm district
director crutchfeld.
I have to tell ya, the irs has
A little egg on its
face this morning.
It seems as though the
d.e.a. Had a boat named
"The jack of diamonds"
under surveillance.
By the time we got a hold of it
The name had become
"the jack of hearts."
Bingo. Your guy's boat.
Simple case of
mistaken identity.
Simple as that, was it?
Your client certainly
Has our regrets
over any inconvenience
This might have caused.
Things sometimes
do go a bit awry.
So, now what?
We void the assessment
And release your client's boat.
The marshalls at the
dock will be alerted
That the levee has been lifted.
And all he has to
do is show up, right?
All he has to do is show up.
Let's go.
Wait a minute.
You had us come to your office
So you could tell us
that you made a mistake?
Our policy is to conduct
all business in our offices.
Your policy is to come
on like a panzer division.
You have created a
nation of furtive cheats.
That hasn't been
my experience, sir.
Take a look at this case.
You go after an innocent man,
He has his whole life
turned upside-down,
And after the
damage has been done,
After you find out
that the whole thing
Is your own foul-up,
You extend some half-assed
regrets for the inconvenience.
Well, this is not inconvenience.
This is a train wreck.
And this man can't even
get his car fare back
For going to the
courthouse, can he?
Mike. Let's go.
We got what we came for.
Mike. Come on.
Come on.
Mr. Furnald, you
were at your office
On the day your baby
died. Is that correct?
I got home, I guess it was 6:45.
And what happened at that time?
Gina met me at the door and
she had this strange expression,
And I asked her if she was okay,
And she said in this
dead, flat voice,
That clinton had been on fire.
But she had saved him.
What did you do, mr. Furnald?
I said, "where is he?"
And she lead me into his room,
And the way he was just
lying there in his crib,
I... I knew.
Mr. Furnald, did you
have any indication,
Prior to this that something
might be wrong with your wife?
Well, from the time
the baby was born
She just wasn't herself.
She was very
nervous all the time,
And she cried a lot, and...
What, if anything,
did you do about this?
I told her she ought to
talk to her obstetrician.
He... And he told her that
what she was going through
Was very normal and that she
Should just try
and get more sleep.
And what happened after that?
Well, things
seemed to get worse.
A few days before clinton died,
I came home from work and
she's lying in bed, sobbing.
She said she...
She was in agony,
And that there had to be
someone who could help her.
And i... She asked me if
I thought she should
See a psychiatrist.
What'd you say?
I said that with all the
expenses from the baby,
And without her paycheck
anymore we just couldn't afford it.
Thank you, sir.
I have nothing further.
Mr. Furnald, when
the police arrived,
Didn't you tell them, quote,
"My wife k*lled our
baby. Get her out of here
Before I k*ll her"?
Audibly, please. For the record.
Yes.
You said that because you were
Understandably angry
at her, weren't you?
Because you wanted her punished
For the terrible
thing that she'd done.
Maybe I felt that way then,
but that was a long time ago.
The truth is, the only one
I'm still blaming here is me.
Nothing... Nothing further.
Why do you blame
yourself, mr. Furnald?
Because I didn't pay
enough attention
To what she was going through.
If I had let her see the
psychiatrist like she wanted to...
They would have helped her.
Our baby would still be alive.
Forgive me, gina.
I'm sorry.
Um, is there any word?
Yeah. Iris just called.
Leland's out of surgery.
How is he?
Oh, he's doing just fine.
In fact, they're about
to wheel him back
To his room anytime now.
Um, did gracie call?
No.
Arnie. Excuse me.
Marshall schulian's
left messages
Up and down my call sheet.
The wedding's saturday.
Give me a break, here, douglas.
I got a lot on my plate. Okay?
Nothing on that plate
should be as important
As our million-dollar client.
Schulian prenuptial.
Robertson vs. Robertson.
Sabrett vs. Sabrett.
This nut-ball is convinced
That her husband's
having an affair with a pig.
So, I'm not just sitting on
my hands. Okay, douglas?
I don't wanna have to
call leland in the hospital
To say we're on the brink
of losing a major client.
I will get it
signed. Believe me.
Tomorrow afternoon no
one gets out of the office
Until the agreement is ex*cuted.
See that they don't.
Hi.
Um, not that I'm complaining
or anything, but, um,
What was that all about?
I have very good news
from my dermatologist.
No. You mean you're cured?
I'm not itching anymore.
I'm not contagious anymore.
And as of tomorrow, I'm not
out of commission anymore.
You really think one day's
gonna make that much...
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow. Okay, okay. Tomorrow.
Well, then, um,
let's do it up right.
What do you say?
Okay.
Romantic dinner and,
um, a little dancing?
Mm-hmm.
Who knows where
things might lead?
Who knows?
Ladies. Gentlemen.
Our job as trial attorneys
Is to get you to
identify with our client.
So you can see and feel
what she must have felt.
But there is nothing
we could ever do or say
That will make you empathize,
or even begin to comprehend
What was going through
gina furnald's mind
When she took the life of
her three-month-old son.
In truth, the only thing
I can really tell you
Is the one thing
that you have known
From the moment
this trial began.
That this woman had
to be very, very sick.
The taking of a life goes against
every decent human impulse.
I know.
And particularly
when that life is so tiny,
And so helpless, it
is easy and natural
To want to assess blame.
But before the district
attorney gets up here
And asks you to do exactly that,
I beg you to remember
that this man,
The father of their little boy,
By his own testimony
does not condemn her.
Do you really think that
he could love and support
The woman who took his only son
If he were not convinced
that she was insane at the time?
Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,
The man who knows her better
Than anyone else
in the whole world...
Her husband... Believes
with all his heart
That she was acting
outside herself.
That she was sick, and
that she is a loving wife,
And a devoted mother
to their little girl.
And even if we cannot
get you to see this tragedy
Through her eyes when you
go back to that jury room,
Please, before you
think of destroying
What is left of this family,
I beg you to try and take
a look at it through his.
Thank you.
Postpartum psychosis.
You know what that is, folks?
That's a theory.
And for every doctor the
defense brought up here
To say that it's a real disease,
I called up one to say it isn't.
And at best, at the very best,
The most we can
say about this theory
Is the question is still open.
But you know what's
not open, people?
The suggestion that
this theory can be used
To justify m*rder.
Let's close the door
on that one real fast.
No matter how bad her mood was,
She had to know that what
she was doing was not right.
And you should be offended
at what they've tried
To get you to do.
They've asked you not
only to embrace a diagnosis
That the majority of
doctors refuse to recognize,
But also to use it to excuse
the cold-blooded k*lling
Of an innocent little baby.
Now, I'm no doctor, folks.
Maybe this postpartum
thing is a condition.
Maybe it isn't.
If she breaks a
few dishes, okay.
If she shouts an obscenity
or two, I can live with it.
But when she takes a pillow,
And she squeezes life
out of a helpless infant,
Uh-uh.
Give this thing any
medical definition you want.
But in layman's
terms, it's still m*rder.
We're in recess until
tomorrow, 9:00 a.m.,
At which time the jury
will begin its deliberation.
I just have a few minor
problems, uh, with the agreement.
I've highlighted the
specific areas in pink.
I gotta tell ya,
This is really sleazy, breinan.
Coming in with this two
days before the wedding,
Thinking that you can strong-arm
us into wholesale concessions
Just for the sake of
getting an agreement signed.
Are you imputing bad faith?
All I'm doing is trying
to protect my client.
Protect him? From what?
From being exploited.
Are you going to let him
talk that way to me, marshall?
I think that was uncalled-for.
How did this happen
to us, marshall?
I thought we loved each other.
We trusted each other.
Everything was
perfect until you...
Until you talked to him.
Kimberly, honey. Don't cry.
He talked you
into this, didn't he?
I can't right now.
Just tell me it wasn't you
Who thought you needed
to protect yourself from me.
Lawyers worry about
everything, kimberly.
I'm not worried.
Arnie.
So what do we
need this paper for?
I mean, we already have
the caterer lined up...
Schul, for god's sakes... Arnie.
I can't. Not now.
You've got to.
My whole family's
here from chicago.
I did it.
I got her.
Arlene. No.
Well, now I couldn't get the
vet's appointment until tomorrow,
But he'll examine her, and then
prove everything I've been saying.
Arlene, you can't take
that thing into my office.
But he'll be looking
for her at my place.
Marshall.
What's going on here?
Oh, this is very classy.
Some great law firm
you hired, marshall.
Marshall, where are you going?
Tell him.
This is the woman I'm going
to be with the rest of my life,
And I don't wanna spend any
more time anticipating the worst.
Oh god.
Now, she will eat
almost anything,
But she's allergic
to wheat and dairy.
Sit.
There.
Now, I'm leaving.
I need to get my hair done
before the settlement meeting.
Arlene.
Oh, don't worry about it.
She'll probably sleep
the rest of the afternoon.
Michael. Michael.
Ron messer's been arrested.
What?
Yeah. The bank
foreclosed on his boat,
And he, uh, he punched
out the re-po man.
Mommy, when are
we gonna go home?
Pretty soon, honey.
Pretty soon.
Anything?
They're still out.
Oh god.
Oh god. It's been two hours.
You said if they were gonna
acquit they'd do it fast.
We can't tell, gina.
I... I can't i... I I
can't stand this.
Listen how... How much
longer is this gonna take?
I still think that
they will be back
Before the day's out.
Mommy.
I don't wanna stay
here. I'm hungry.
Elizabeth, please. Just...
I gotta get outta here.
I'm gonna go for a walk.
You can't.
Why?
They can come back at any minute
And you have to be here.
Well i... I... I'm trapped.
Look, honey.
Can we just go outside
and stand on the steps?
Mommy, I wanna go home.
Elizabeth, please.
I wanna go home now.
Just take her.
Please. I just... Please.
Honey, lizzy. Come
here. Come here.
No, no. You stay.
I'll take her. Come on.
They're gonna
convict me. I can tell.
Gina, there's no use getting
all worked up about this.
You said it yourself, uh...
The longer it takes
them to deliberate,
The worse our chances are.
And he also said
anything can happen.
Mommy.
Maybe we could, uh,
Can we... Can... Can we
bargain for the manslaughter?
I mean, maybe we could...
It's a little late for that.
Mommy.
Well, I can't... I
can't... I can't just
Sit in here anymore.
Mommy.
What?
I wanna go.
Hey hey hey hey.
Stop it.
Gina, gina. That's
it. Stop it. Stop it.
Come here. Come here.
It's okay. It's okay.
Gina. For god's sake, honey.
Take it easy.
The jury's back, mr. Sifuentes.
It's okay. It's okay.
Mommy didn't mean it.
We should go.
Come on. Let's go. Come on.
All right. That's all right.
It's all right, baby. It's okay.
It's all right. It's all right.
Take it easy. Okay.
You're all right.
This court is now in session.
All rise.
Be seated.
Will the defendant please rise.
In the matter of
people vs. Gina furnald,
We the jury find the defendant
Not guilty by reason
of temporary insanity.
Thank you.
Oh, honey.
Since there is no indication
That the, uh, defendant
currently suffers
From any mental
defect or disease,
This court makes
no recommendation
For treatment or confinement.
The defendant is
ordered to undergo
A psychiatric
evaluation, however,
After which I'll
make a final ruling
With respect to disposition.
This court's adjourned.
How the hell did
the bank expect me
To come up with
$7,900 on my boat
If the government
won't let me make a living?
Ron, I understand
your frustration.
But what good does it
do to punch the guy out?
Maybe none. But I'll
tell ya something.
For the first time in
this whole nightmare,
Something makes sense to me.
Hell, they finally nailed
me for something I really did.
Now, look. I gotta
get outta here.
I got things to
pick up off the boat
Before they auction it.
Look, I can probably
Get you out of
here within the hour,
But you might do
better to stay in here
For a day and coolin' off.
I mean, you got enough problems
Without having
three or four felonies
Hanging over your head.
I... I'm not gonna
hit anybody else.
Hell, I'm sorry I hit this guy.
He was just there.
Don't make me sit in jail
any longer, mr. Kuzak. Okay?
Thank you.
So. You and marilyn feldman.
Could you be an item?
Could be. We've had
a couple of very nice,
Very normal..
Dinners.
What about you
and mr. Handelman?
It's complicated.
Um, two kids, two divorces,
Four households, no privacy.
But, um, so far it's working.
That's good, abby.
I'm happy for you.
Look, victor. I have
to tell you something
That happened to me a while ago.
What?
I knocked my son down.
In anger.
Um, I'd had a lousy day.
And his father
brought him home late.
He wouldn't turn off the t.v.
He wouldn't go to bed.
And one word lead to
another, and then he spit at me.
He's five years old.
Can you believe that?
I mean, where did he learn that?
Anyway, I guess that he knew
He'd gone way over the line,
Because he tried to run away,
But I grabbed him by the arm.
And I smacked his bottom so hard
That I actually
knocked him off his feet.
I appreciate what
you're telling me, abby,
But you didn't k*ll a baby.
All I'm saying is that parents
Occasionally
smack their children.
Now, I'm not making
excuses for it.
It's wrong. And I
would cut off my hand
Before I'd do it again.
But it happens to a lot of us.
Under a lot less stress
than she was under.
Victor, 12 jurors
found her innocent
By reason of temporary insanity.
And what you saw today...
Take it from a parent...
Does not mean that
they were wrong.
Where's heather? Where's my pig?
There, you see? That proves it.
I mean, that is all
he cares about.
That four-legged slut.
For god's sake, arlene,
I have two tapings
this afternoon.
We're onto you, you sicko.
You know, I've told
him all about it.
Oh please, arlene. Don't
embarrass yourself.
She's been under
a doctor's care.
Are you going to sit there
And deny that I walked in on you
In bed with that sow?
You went off your
medication again, didn't you?
You're in love with her.
Now come on, admit it.
I don't deny that I
adore that little animal.
It's my business.
I've raised 'em, I train 'em.
Even with the t.v. Show and
all the success it's brought us,
I'm still just an
old son of a farmer.
You're a pig-loving pervert.
It's been especially
hard on her.
You won't get away
with this, you know.
I'll talk.
I'll tell the world about you.
Advise her if she goes
anywhere with that story
We'll slap a slander suit on
her so fast her head will spin.
Well? Don't just sit there.
Defend me.
Oh god.
Excuse me a minute.
You know the craziest thing?
I don't even blame you.
For your information,
Marshall schulian just called.
He's fired us.
Oh god.
We'll just have to wait and see
What the aftershocks will be.
Um... Uh...
I'll... I'll... I'll call.
I'll... I'll apologize.
Don't go near the situation.
You've done quite
enough already.
You oughta be committed.
Maybe you're not
aware of the gravity
Of this situation. That animal
Is worth over $30,000.
We have reason to
believe that your client
Is involved in a major theft.
If you are withholding
information with respect
To that pig's whereabouts,
we are prepared to name you
As an accessory.
The pig is here. I'll
have her brought out.
Who's payroll are you on?
Arlene.
That's it. You are fired.
You know something?
You can keep your precious pig.
I hope you have years
of happiness together.
My client would like
to see his pig now.
Heel.
There's my sweetheart.
There's my little girl.
I hope it was okay to lock
her up in the janitor's closet.
Oh. Oh. Did you miss me?
I bet you did. My little girl.
Did ya miss me? Oh. Yessuh did.
Now, tell the truth.
Is she a doll, or what?
Oh.
That's it, huh?
Jack of hearts.
I guess the new owners
will name it something else.
Hell, if I'd named
her something else
She'd still be mine.
Do you believe that?
Here.
What's this?
$7,900.
Your money.
My money.
I can't take charity.
I start that now, I
just crack right up.
Not charity.
You take it off the
top of the award
You're gonna get from
your lawsuit with the irs.
Forget it.
That'll take years.
Look. Ron.
I wanna tell you something
about lawyers, okay?
We take on a case,
we argue passionately
For whoever happens
to be paying the bills.
Win, lose, or draw,
we walk away.
Except every once in a while,
You wanna put your
money where your mouth is.
Mr. Kuzak... Look. This
is important to me.
Now, if you want we
can draw up papers,
Figure out a payment schedule,
But think of it
as an investment.
If you wanted to
make an investment
You could do a hell of
a lot better than this.
All right. Don't think
of it as an investment.
Take it for what it is.
Okay. I will.
Don't call me mr. Kuzak
anymore, all right?
My name's mike.
Okay, mike.
So, we'll go fishing
sometime, huh?
Stuart, I wanna say something.
Go ahead.
I don't know if I
know how to say this.
What is it, ann?
Stuart, do you know anything
about humpback whales?
Humpback whales
spend their entire lives
Searching the seas,
singing sad, whale songs.
Looking for their
one, true mate.
The thought of that
always used to make me cry.
I guess...
Because I kind
of felt like that.
The only thing is,
I never thought
I'd find mine in the...
Huge, huge sea.
You crying, ann?
Stuart, I'm so happy.
I never thought that I
could love anyone so much,
Or be so happy in my whole life.
You know what today is?
It's our six-month anniversary.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Um...
Oh, stuart. I didn't
get you anything.
It's okay. Open it up.
Oh. Stuart, it's beautiful.
Will you marry me?
M... Marry you?
Yes.
Here. Put it on.
Oh, stuart.
This is so exciting.
We'll have to set a date.
How 'bout tonight?
Tonight?
Yeah. Fly to las vegas.
Las vegas?
Uh-huh.
Well, you said I got to pick
the next vacation, right?
Oh, stuart, come on.
You can't just run off
And do these... You have
to plan these things.
No, you don't.
You gotta feel these things.
You love me.
God knows I love you.
I don't wanna
wait. I wanna do it.
I just don't wanna
give you a chance
To plan yourself
out of it, ya know?
Stuart, this is crazy.
Yeah. Let's be crazy.
Come on. Come on.
Oh boy.
You know when your mommy
gives you a great, big, cold...
Hi, candy. It's arnie. Uh...
No message. Just that I
was thinking about you,
And if you come in in the next
half hour, give me a call. I'm at work.
Maybe we'll have some
dinner or something.
Bye-bye.
Anybody know
what kind of a sound
The cow makes?
Moo.
Moo.
Isn't she a pretty little thing?
Oh. Hi, rox.
Hi. Are you okay?
Oh, sure. Sure.
Great.
In one day, I've lost a
million-dollar client,
Plus the farmer's wife fired me,
Plus I'm still a raw
nerve ending over lucinda,
And for the last half hour
I've been thinking about su1c1de.
But other than that, fine.
Oh, arnie.
Don't worry. Windows
don't open, anyway.
Would it help to talk about it?
I was just gonna go home,
but if you want, I could stay.
Where's leon tonight?
He's in chicago on business.
Do you remember that night
I came over to your house
And we had tomato
soup and we snuggled up
And we watched t.v.?
Yeah.
Well? How 'bout it?
We could stop off at 7-11,
Pick up a big box of
graham crackers,
And maybe some ice cream.
I don't think so, arnie.
Leon's supposed to call.
I don't think so.
You're right.
I guess that was
kind of neurotic.
Not to mention fattening.
I should get going.
Are you gonna be all right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I still got a load of, uh,
Of paperwork I
might as well finish up.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks, rox.
You too.
Milk from cows. You
know when your mommy
Gives you a great, big,
cold, frosty glass of milk?
Well, that's where
it comes from.
Oh, and delicious ice cream.
Mm. Mm, mm, mm.
Good evening. Wedding chapel.
I'm sorry. Reverend sivle's
performing a wedding right now.
No. The reverend can't
go to your hotel room.
You have to come in.
Bye. Thank you.
Reverend sivle will be
with you any minute now.
You'll be in and out
by midnight. I swear.
That's great. Thanks.
Soon.
Stuart. You know,
maybe this wasn't
Such a hot idea after all.
I mean it didn't sound so bad
In a beverly hills restaurant
With a half a bottle
of champagne inside me.
But, here. I mean...
Look at this place.
It's not exactly
the bel air hotel.
Ann, you... You wanna
have a second ceremony
At the bel air hotel?
Actually, what I was thinking,
What do we need a
ceremony for anyway?
Because we love each other.
And we wanna be
committed to each other.
Well, I don't need a piece
of paper for that, stuart.
Ann.
This has gotta be
something we both wanna do.
If you don't wanna do...
It's not that I don't
wanna do it, stuart.
It's just... Stuart,
this is terrifying.
By midnight,
If I don't get outta here first,
I'm gonna be mrs.
Stuart markowitz
For the rest of my life.
It's pretty terrifying, huh?
Look. Would you
settle for 50 years
With a renewable
option for another 25?
All right. But what's the rush?
This is supposed to
be the most important
Moment of our lives.
I want the ceremony to
be beautiful and moving.
Something we'll always remember.
Mr. Moskowitz? Ma'am?
It's, uh, markow...
My good friends.
We are here on
this happy occasion
To unite these
fine, young people
In a state of holy matrimony.
But before we do,
I have just a few pieces of
advice for the happy couple.
In the words of the
king, "don't be cruel."
Now, he's stuck on
you now, pretty lady.
But if you treat
him like a hound dog,
It's return to sender.
And you. You love her tender.
You understand?
You bring that burnin' love home
Every night to this good woman,
Or sure as the king had hits,
You'll find yourself all
alone in heartbreak hotel.
Now, if you'll just take
this lovely lady's hand
In your hand, mr. Moskowitz.

Hi.
I'm back.
So I see.
I figured I'd find you here.
Are you back for good?
Yes.
With me?
If you'll have me.
I haven't figured
everything out yet,
Except being away from you
Wasn't the answer.
I love you so much, mickey.
I won't ever wanna be
away from you again.
Okay?
