Boston Legal (2004–2008): Season 1, Episode 16 - Let Sales Ring - full transcript

Milton Bombay needs Denny and Shirley to help him being frozen so he can continue his legacy as a great lawyer in the future. Alan and Chelina help a high school student who accuses his teacher of censorship when he blocks out a news station on the school's television.

I can't tell you
how good it is to see you.

- I'll be honest, I thought you were dead.
- Never felt better in my life.

Oh, come on. That's a lie.
Look at you.

- How's Sylvie?
- Sylvie is dead.

Fantastic. And the kids?

Denny, the last time we spoke...

...you mentioned that
despite astronomical odds...

...you managed to become
yet an even better lawyer.

- Hard to believe, isn't it?
- I have a motion...

...which I'm quite capable
of arguing myself...

...being more talented than you.
- No, you're not.



I also happen to be the client.

The case is also
extremely unconventional.

I want to be frozen.

- What do you mean?
- I wanna be frozen...

...and stored in a cryonic institute.

- What do you mean?
- I'm 78 years old.

It won't be long before
my body starts to wither.

I've lived a full life.
The technology will soon exist...

...that I will be able
to double that life.

I wanna be frozen
and stored until such time...

...that technology becomes a reality.

- What do you mean?
- I mean, when I leave this world...

...I don't want it to be forever.

Which means, for now...



...I wanna be frozen.

What do you mean?

PAUL: So basically he wants
to be euthanized.

And preserved on ice.

Evidently there's some
right-to-privacy law I've never heard of.

Why should you?

It's in the Constitution.

What's Milton Bombay doing here?

He wants to be frozen
and stored in a cryonics facility.

- All in favor.
- And he wants Denny to argue it.

And what could possibly
occasion him to want that?

The problem is the basis of the case...

...if there is one, would lie
in the Bill of Rights...

...which Denny, of course, feels never
should have been passed.

We're one Supreme Court
appointment away from overturning.

- The Bill of Rights?
- Damn right. Red states rule.

Paul, there seems to be some
psychological deficit in play here.

I refer to Milton's not yours.

Any person who wants to be frozen
should be referred to a therapist...

...not a lawyer.

Hey, pretty boy.

I hear you're looking
for some interesting cases.

Chelina Hall.
We haven't officially met.

Yes. I've peeped at you
in the girls' room unofficially.

Cute.

Come with me.

Stuart Milch, Alan Shore.

A pleasure. Thanks again
for agreeing to see me.

Not at all. Especially since
I've made no such agreement.

Show him the gizmo, Stuart.

Tell him what it is, Stuart.

It's a news blocker. It's sold off
the Internet. You attach it to the input...

...on your television and it basically
blocks news transmissions.

It's true.

My school principal
attached these devices...

...to all the televisions
in the building. The problem is...

...it turns out it only
blocks one network.

The most fair and balanced one.
All the others...

...kids can watch.
- It singles out one network only?

Yes, because this network supposedly
pushes a conservative agenda.

Which is a lot of hooey.
This is blatant censorship.

It furthers evidence of a liberal media,
and I, for one, am sick of it.

In all my years...

In all his years...

Milton, I consider you a friend.

Actually, I don't.
I find you a bit boorish.

But I have always enjoyed
your unfettered candor.

And in the spirit of that candor...

...the case cannot be won.

Given that this is the only
lifetime you'll ever get to have...

...please don't waste what's left of it
in the cavernous sinkhole...

...known as our system
of jurisprudence.

I made my life in that system.

- I rose to the very top of the system.
- No, you didn't.

Milton, no judge is going
to let you be euthanized...

...and stashed in a subzero.
- We cannot know that...

...unless we try, Shirley.

I know you recently retired. Is this...?

And please do not proffer
psychological counsel.

I came in here in search of
legal and intellectual acuity.

And you sought out Denny?

I assure you, this is something
I considered with all due gravity.

I came to a decision.

And now I appeal to you
as my attorney...

...to help me execute that decision.

Do I make myself clear?

Perfectly.

We're talking about
your execution.

- Frozen?
- That's why he's here?

If there's any legal research on
point, which I doubt there is...

...the sooner the better.
You might look at assisted suicide...

...or right-to-die.

Brad, you take the math and science.
You're male and more innately qualified.

Anything and everything you
find on cryonics technology.

Wait. This firm is actually going
to help Milton Bombay be put on ice?

Come now, Lori.
You of all should know...

...it's not so bad to go
through life as a Popsicle.

What is that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

My, everybody's so sensitive.

Can't we all just get along?

We go to court this morning,
so as fast as you can.

First of all, students have no
vested rights whatsoever...

...to watch any news during school.

They are allowed to at Winslow High,
except for one network.

Ms. Tyler, is this particular broadcast
being singled out on content?

If it is, Your Honor, schools
have the right to legislate content.

- Just as we search lockers.
- Objection to the spin, judge.

- This is a no-spin zone.
- A principal is not subject...

...to reasonableness in his policy.
- This is the First Amendment in play.

- What's next? Burning books?
JUDGE: Ms. Tyler...

...I must say this has
a bad stink to it.

How do you ban one network
news program and not the others?

The principal felt this particular
network was detrimental.

Well, I want to hear from the principal
in this witness chair...

...or I'm going to grant
the motion right now.

I can get him here this afternoon.

We'll adjourn for lunch.
Be back at 4.

WOMAN: There they are.
- Mr. Bombay, why are you doing this?

It's simply about wanting to continue
my legacy for centuries to come.

I'm perhaps the greatest
lawyer of all time.

- I want that time to continue.
- He's not. Denny Crane. I'm better.

How are you, sweetie?
Still the king. Denny Crane.

Mr. Bombay, you are asking for
a court order to end your life.

Under today's science.

- Tomorrow might be quite different.
- But, sir, let's be realistic.

Why the hell do I have to be realistic?
It's my body.

What do I have to do? Get pregnant?

Well, you may be couching
this in pro-life terms...

...but in today's scientific world,
being frozen makes you dead.

I am asking for the chance
to be alive in tomorrow's world.

To play with my
great-great-great-great-grandchildren.

Do you have grandchildren today?

I've got six, all grown.

Three of them love me.

Suppose one of them came into
the court at, say, the age of 30...

...asking to be frozen?
- I'd say, "Wait.

- You've got a lot of years."
- Well, maybe...

...they would like it done before
their body starts to go south.

Which at 30, it can.

Look, I don't advocate this
for young, healthy people.

But certainly if you can
decide for yourself...

...so should others, right?
- I'm close to 80.

My life is almost over.

Does one have to be old
to get this autonomy?

How about somebody 35 with cancer?

If it was incurable, yes.

Parkinson's disease, MS?

What if somebody wanted to
get frozen to avoid the draft?

Let him move to Canada.
Freeze his balls off.

Denny Crane.

- Why did you do that?
- You were getting picked apart.

- I was doing just fine.
- I had to stop their momentum.

- Boys.
- I was having a moment in there.

- You stepped on it.
- Boys.

We need to get back to the
office and prepare our expert.

- You stepped on it.
- Did not.

- Boys.
- He did step...

WITNESS: Cryonics proponents
don't refer to the patient as dead.

- Simply, "preserved."
- Frozen?

- Yes.
- But, doctor...

...if a person's heart isn't beating,
if there's no brain activity...

...we tend to call them dead.

Under today's medical definition, yes.
The definition of cryonics...

...is basically a process using very cold
temperature to prevent people dying.

- Where'd we get this quack?
- Shh.

Doctor, let's be fair...

...has anyone ever been brought
back to life after being frozen?

No. And it's not likely to happen soon.
But the technology is changing.

We're discovering more
about molecular nanotechnology.

And one day it will be a reality.

Molecular what?

One second, doctor.

Denny, I'm gonna try something here.

I don't have time to explain.
I just need you to go with it, okay?

I want you to count backwards
from a 100 silently.

- Why?
- I'll explain later. It's important.

Ninety-nine, 98.

[MOUTHS]
Ninety-seven...

Okay, doctor.

We've heard that
cryonics is in our future.

But please, give me one example,
one piece of evidence...

...that indicates that
this could possibly work.

The wood frog.

- I'm sorry, did you say, "Wood frog"?
- Yes.

A frog in the Arctic that hibernates
and completely freezes in the winter.

No heartbeat, no brain activity.

It goes completely dead by
today's definition of death.

Then in the spring, it wakens.

Brain activity resumes,
heart starts beating.

- It's alive again.
- And you think...

...if it's possible for a frog...
- Why not for a human?

If we can accomplish total metabolic
arrest with no tissue damage...

...we will freeze people for thousands
of years and bring them back to life.

Thank you, doctor.

Humans are warm-blooded animals
designed to stay at 98 degrees.

Those frogs are cold-blooded with a
completely different molecular structure.

Admittedly, the future of cryonics...

...involves molecular technology.
- There is no evidence...

...it can work with warm...
- There is.

We have frozen rat livers...

...thawed them and transplanted them.

In Israel, they did it with hearts.

In both cases, the rats lived,
not for long.

But the hearts and livers
did come to life.

- With humans, we've frozen valves...
- You think freezing people is ethical?

- Is that consistent with...?
- It's ethical to freeze embryos.

But again, I'm up here to give you the
science, not engage in a moral debate.

Forty-four, 43...

He kicked their ass.

And the best part of it was
he had integrity.

Which is what you need
in your expert.

- What did he cost us?
- Twenty-five hundred.

- The whore.
TARA: Schmidt.

- How are we doing?
- The case would be Schiavo.

It's not first circuit.
The Supreme Court refused...

...to hear the appeal.
We'd argue it's controlling.

I wanna read it. Make a copy.
You wanna read it?

Hell, no.

Can I talk to you in
private for a second, please?

I didn't want to embarrass
you in front of your superiors...

...but it seems to me the controlling
case on this would be Cruzan.

The whole thrust of Rehnquist's
opinion was autonomy:

The patient's right to decide.

The opinion was muddled.
It was essentially three-pronged:

Autonomy, the patient's best interest
and the state's interest to preserve life.

You'd win on prong one, but you'd
likely lose on prongs two and three.

You're much better off
arguing Schiavo.

- Mr. Bombay?
- Yes?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

It's just that you brought me
back to a memory of...

I think I was happiest as a lawyer
when I was a young associate.

I hated doing all the grunt work...

...but there was all
the promise of tomorrow.

Would you have dinner
with me tonight, Tara?

SHIRLEY:
Milton?

Why don't you have it with me.

Why this one particular network?

PRINCIPAL:
Look, all networks pander.

Some to the liberal,
some to the conservative.

But when a news organization actually
promotes a political agenda...

Can I dial you back a second?
How do they do that?

The broadcasts speak for themselves.

Their CEO was the media operative
for former Republican presidents.

I object to his open mind, judge.

- Move to strike?
- Sustained.

And then when I saw
the documentary Outfoxed...

...it blew my mind.
- Because?

It detailed the extent...

...to which the media can go to promote
conservative Republican causes.

We'd like to show you a brief series
of clips from this documentary.

We weren 't necessarily,
as it was told to us...

...a newsgathering
organization so much as...

...we were a proponent
of a point of view.

They want news to be
a matter of opinion.

O'DONNELL: We were ordered from
the top to carry propaganda...

...carry Republican
right-wing propaganda.

It was made very clear to us...

...that our activities
were being monitored.

If someone wasn 't watching it live,
they were recording it...

...and they would review it after
the fact to see what we did.

PRINCIPAL:
If you watch the documentary...

...and I strongly suggest you do...

...you'll see that this
goes on and on and on.

And these accounts are from
people on the inside.

Okay. But to put a device
on the television?

I hate the idea of shutting
down free expression...

...but this became
more of a safety issue.

- A safety issue?
- They've got their talk show host...

...declaring that anyone
opposed to war...

...is an enemy of the state, a traitor.

We're getting more fights. Kids are
attacked for being unpatriotic.

Arab and Muslim students being
targeted. Maybe this device is overkill.

I admit that. But I've got
a high school to run.

And the first order of the day
is keep the kids safe.

I thought the first order
of an academic community...

...was embracing diversity of opinion.

Not when it's a bias
that fosters intolerance.

Did you attach any little
blockers to networks...

...that lie about presidents
and, say, the National Guard?

- I don't dispute there's a liberal bias.
- You don't censor those?

Those networks don't
foster intolerance.

Any blockers for shock jocks? Or is
racism and misogyny not a concern?

- There's a lot of garbage out there.
- What about your own teachers?

- My teachers?
- A recent poll showed...

...six out of seven college professors
voted for John Kerry.

Does that not suggest
a bias in academia, Mr. Harper?

- Objection.
- We've got countless news programs...

...too many talk shows
to keep track of...

...all kinds of opinions...

...being spewed out over the airwaves.
Extremes to the left, to the right.

- And the only thing you block...
- That's actually not true.

There's many programs
we don't permit.

- This is the only news show?
- They make a device...

...to block out this particular network?
- It says censorship is popular.

- That doesn't make it right.
- As principal, I have to make that call.

And let me say this:
I'm a proud American.

I got a flag on my porch.

I pray for those troops every night.

I taught some of those kids. They're
over there fighting for democracy...

...which includes
the right to question.

For this network to be saying otherwise
offends me as a citizen and principal.

I see. So...

...you're squashing content
to promote democracy?

Once again...

...I will shut down any
content that fosters intolerance.

That is where I stand.

You're going to dinner with him?

I want to find out what's going on.

What's going on is a runaway ego.
It's all about the spotlight.

- The man wishes he were me.
- We all wish that, Denny.

I know Mi...
I go way back with Milton.

I know Milton
like the back of my hand.

He knows he's gonna lose that motion.
No risk of him being frozen.

Meantime he's all over the news.

I'm telling you,
the man wants to be me.

So I'm gonna have
a little talk with him.

He's gonna insist you go
to Nicky Blair's. Watch.

- Sorry?
- He pays them to let him sing.

- Pardon?
- He slips the maitre d' a hundred bucks...

...to come to the table and say,
"Please, Mr. Bombay, sing us a song."

It's all about the limelight with Milton.

I promise you.

CHELINA:
What do you mean, lose?

We're on the side
of the First Amendment.

The problem is school principals
do have a wide discretion.

And the material is arguably
inflammatory, if they can classify them...

...as disruptive speech.

Plus, I don't know which
newscast you've been watching...

...but the First Amendment
is losing its luster lately.

Some networks are even
censoring their scripted dramas.

So, what do we go with
if not freedom of expression?

ANCHOR [ON TV]:
Meanwhile, actor Vince Odoms...

...you know him as the judge in
the Michael Jackson reenactment trial...

...has quit to play Phil Spector
in the reenactment...

...of that trial on
a competing network.

FBS president Rick Silverman
is threatening to sue...

...claiming the actor is under contract
and it would be a material breach...

...to walk in the middle
of ongoing litigation.

It was learned today...

...that the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Office reportedly had...

[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

So, what's the point?

- The point?
- Of us having dinner...

...what's the point?

If it's sexual, I'll need notice
so I can take my little pill.

You asked Tara.
What was the point of that?

With her, I wouldn't need a pill.

You've talked a wonderful
game about the future.

About wanting to perpetuate your
legacy into the next century.

But when you were talking to Tara...

...what I observed was a man
looking backwards...

...a man who perhaps is lonely.

You've got it wrong.

I saw melancholy, Milton.

And melancholy accompanied
by the desire to be dead.

Is this Milton Bombay
looking to check out in a way...

...that doesn't tarnish
his grand reputation?

Denny thinks you
don't want to win this case...

...which would explain your
hiring him. But you also hired me.

You lost your wife, your job.

Are you just giving up, Milton?

Let me tell you something. As science
and medicine continue to evolve...

...so must the law to keep pace.

I'm blazing the trail as a patient today
so I can continue to set the standard...

...as a lawyer tomorrow.

- That's what this is about.
- Okay.

The band and some patrons have
requested that you grace us with a song.

Tell them to vamp "She's Making Eyes."
I'll be right up, Walter.

- Excellent. Thank you, sir.
- I happen to believe in reincarnation.

And I also believe things even out.

Given the hand I was dealt this time...

...I could be in for some
serious hardships the next go-around.

And I don't want that in my next life.

I wanna be me all over again.

Milton Bombay!

- Got it.
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, a treat.

A special guest performance from
that legendary barrister, Milton Bombay!

Thank you, thank you.
Good to be here, folks.

Here's one of my favorites.
I hope it's one of yours too.

[SINGS]

[APPLAUSE]

What do you mean you're closing?
What happened to Shirley?

Milton, there's a reason you came to me
in the first place.

In your gut,
you know I'm better than you.

- Go with your gut.
- I'd sooner go with my intestine.

I'd prefer Shirley doing the closing.

I'm not doing it.

- And neither are you.
- Who does that leave?

- Uh, Tammy?
- Tara.

As I said from the start,
the law doesn't support us here.

If we're going to get a court order
allowing you to die...

...which would be the result,
that judge is going to hear from you.

- He did hear from me.
- I don't think so.

If this is about you getting to perpetuate
your legacy in the next century...

...I'm afraid you're gonna have to
make due with sustaining it in this one.

You need to do better.
And, Milton, for my money...

...any guy who is asking
to get stuck in a freezer...

...isn't that desperate to live.

Every major media watchdog group
has labeled this news program...

...as the most biased, right-wing
news program on television.

So what? Political bias is rampant
throughout the news business.

- Including liberal bias.
- We're not talking about just a slant.

A recent poll showed that the more
people watch this news show...

...the less they know
about foreign policy...

...and they're more inclined
to support the government.

Now, that may be good team spirit,
but it's disgraceful journalism.

You talk about a democracy. What kind
of principal censors free expression?

Your Honor, if I may?

Any principal has the right,
if not the obligation...

...to rail against bias, wherever.
You saw that tape.

- Which was also biased and self-serving.
- Their most popular commentator...

...threatens retribution
against those who dissent.

It almost rises to the level
of hate speech.

And if, in my view, it jeopardizes
the welfare of the students...

...I certainly have the authority
to shut it down.

Mr. Shore, this is a school.

Is it wise to expose students
to programs which send the message:

"You're anti-American
if you question the government"?

Your Honor, before we convict them
as the network of conservative values...

...or any values, let's remember,
these are the folks who brought you...

...Joe Billionaire and Who 's Your Papa?
- That's the entertainment division.

- I'm talking about the news.
- I'm telling you it's the same.

This isn't about political content. This is
a corporation looking to make money.

They began as alternative news
programming to grab a market share.

They saw ratings and profit
in a conservative demographic...

...and they've been waving the flag
ever since. And so what?

News today, all of it, is infotainment.

Last February,
a deadly toxin known as ricin...

...was found in the mailroom
of the Senate majority leader.

Headline News led with
Janet Jackson's exposed breast.

A month ago, while we were
in the middle of a war...

...newscasts all across the country led
with Prince Harry's costume at a party.

It's a business.
And while some news groups...

...go with deeper social issues
like Brad and Jennifer's breakup...

...the one here chooses to run
with red, white and blue.

And by the way, before you vilify them,
a survey done in 2002...

...revealed that 70 percent of the people
in this country believe it is good...

...when news organizations take
a strong pro-American point of view.

Seventy percent.

- Does that make it right?
- Of course it makes it right.

Because the rule in infotainment
is give the people what they want.

This is money, Your Honor,
not politics.

Let me say,
I am a great lover of the news.

- I can see that.
- I watch it all.

On days like 9/11,
or for other world-changing events...

...the news programs
are nothing short of spectacular.

When Martin Luther King
delivered "I Have a Dream."

When President Kennedy was shot.

When we walked on the moon.

The Tet Offensive.

Our lives are shaped by these events.

In part, because of the news.

But on all other days,
they're businesses looking to compete...

...like anybody else
in a highly competitive marketplace.

They sell product. And even if you're
determined to believe...

...that this particular network
is some evil empire...

...Iooking to spread propaganda,
that still doesn't change the fact...

...that we are in this room today...

...because a principal is shutting down
the expression of ideas...

...simply because
he disagrees with the content.

If anything needs a champion today,
it's the First Amendment.

In a recent poll,
half of today's high school students...

...thought newspapers should
get government approval of stories...

...before publishing them.

The First Amendment
has become an endangered species.

And here we have a high school principal
practicing censorship.

My, my.

We do have a problem.

There is nothing in the law
to support Mr. Bombay's request...

...that he be assisted
in his quest to die.

And that's what this is:

Assisted suicide.

Now, we hear a lot of talk
about personal autonomy.

But there is a sanctity to life,
Your Honor.

A state has interest in that sanctity.

If we erode that in any way...

...well, we make the idea of suicide
more acceptable.

Perhaps more conceivable for the
troubled teenager or depressed mother.

You say suicide, in some situations,
is an option.

But we have an overriding state interest,
and a humane one...

...in not sending that message.

- You...
- That was beautiful. Now, sit.

At the risk of sounding immodest...

...I am one of the greatest lawyers,
possibly the greatest...

...to grace the courtrooms
of this commonwealth.

And just the possibility of being able to
still try cases in the 22nd century...

I have ALS.

In a few months...

...I'll lose motor control...

...control of my bowels.

My brain will begin to...

And in a year or so, I'll be dead.

Legends shouldn't die like that.

I don't wanna die like that.

Cryonics might not work.

But 100 years ago, nobody was talking
about cloning or the human genome.

And 100 years from now,
who knows what's possible?

I truly, truly love life.

And the chance to be living again...

...seems preferable
to eternal nothingness.

And, well...

...what Red Sox fan wouldn't jump at
the chance to lie next to Ted Williams?

I realize, Your Honor...

...that no judge would do
what I'm asking for.

Do it anyway.

Why didn't you tell me you were sick?

Because I'm a tree.

When I fall, I want it to be in a forest.

What the hell does that mean?

It means, I didn't want
anybody to know.

I don't wanna be pitied.

- All I want is to be...
- Denny Crane.

Mine's bigger.

You know...

...I've always admired you, Milton.

I'm not dead yet.

When is the judge gonna rule?

He said by tonight.

I grew up watching Walter Cronkite.

It was a time the news
seemed to be fair, objective, trusted.

In fact, whenever we doubted
the blather...

...coming out
of the politicians' mouths...

...it was the press we turned to
to get a sense of the truth.

Well, Walter Cronkite
has definitely left the building.

When it comes to credibility,
big media is dead.

Networks pander.

Some to conservatives,
others to liberals.

This past election,
you could turn to one channel...

...to see President Bush ahead.
Turn to another to see Kerry leading.

Ridiculous.

And I agree with Mr. Shore.

It's probably more about money
than ideology.

And being about money...

...well, why shouldn't networks
be free to adopt a bias...

...in hopes of attracting
a bigger audience?

This is America.

Mr. Harper...

...I realize times have changed
in the high schools as well.

Hate violence is on the rise.

Administrators have to be freer
to curtail student civil liberties...

...including disruptive speech.

But attaching a device
to a television...

...that blocks out a certain network
because of the content...

...that seems to go too far.

It's censorship, sir.

And I can't let it stand.

The motion for the plaintiff is granted.

I don't know what to say, Mr. Shore.

You were incredibly brilliant.

Yes.

If there is any retribution
at the school, let us know.

Yeah, I will. Thank you both.

Your country thanks you.

My country thanks me.

Yeah.

This is where he gives his ruling.

Thank you.

Mr. Bombay, it seems ironic,
if not indecent...

...that the state's interest
in preserving life...

...should mandate that you die
a wrenching and painful death...

...rather than be frozen
in hopes of finding a cure.

But that is the law as it stands today.

We live in a country that celebrates
individual liberties...

...and personal autonomy. But when it
comes to controlling your own destiny...

...this is a freedom
that does not yet ring.

I will pray for you...

...but I cannot grant you your request.

Your motion is denied.

God bless you.

I'm sorry.

We can appeal. Next time, I'll close.

That's all right, that's all right.
I'm heading for Arizona.

Try my luck
with the courts down there.

Milton...

...no court is going to rule
in your favor.

MILTON: Even so,
there's a cryonics facility there.

- Whenever the time comes...
- Do you know anybody in Arizona?

No, and that's the point.

I don't want to deteriorate
in front of my...

Clearly, you're not inclined to follow my
advice, but do not go off to die alone.

Hey...

...you live your way, Shirley,
I'll die mine.

I'm entitled to be remembered for...

Eh. Thank you both for your efforts.

Milton. Milton.

We go way back, you and I.

Let's not get carried away.

We were worthy adversaries,
occasional drinking buddies.

But it's not as if we had great affection
for one another.

Anyway...

We'll see you, Milton.

Oh. Yeah, see you.

See you, Den...

Goodbye, my friend.

Bye, goodbye. Bye.

- Sorry.
- Hey.

People get old, get sick.
Happens to everybody.

How close were you?

It's not that we went that deep.
It's we went...

Way back.

You can be larger than life,
just not death.

- He went off to Arizona?
- Yeah.

I really...

...admired him more than...

You go through life
and you never tell people...

...how much you care
about them, when...

People should probably
do that more, you know?

I care about you.

I wasn't fishing for that.

I fish for steelhead, not mush.

I care about you, Denny.

You don't have to say it back.

Wasn't planning to.

NARRATOR:
Next on Boston Legal:

I'm charged with engaging
in sexual conduct for a fee.

You paid a man to have sex with you?

- We plan to use a medical defense of...
- Nymphomania?

- An excuse offered by sex-perv sickos.
- Yes. Thank you for that.

- How'd you like to go to Texas?
- Because?

The client is scheduled
to be executed in 72 hours.

He could be innocent.
