Franklin & Bash (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 8 - Last Dance - full transcript

Hi. Hey. Hi.

That for us?

Come in.

Good Lord, Christine!

Sorry, sir.
I-I thought you said, "come in".

No, I said,
"don't come in".

Oh, did ...
did I say, "come in"?

Oh.

Oh, well, sorry.
Uh, force of habit.

Anyway, no harm, no foul.
Come on. Come on in.

I'm helping some yacht-racing
friends of mine



with a legal issue,

and they've made me rail mate
for the next race.

You know, I get to hang out
on the rail,

And my weight
keeps the keel down.

Oh, good.

Ooh, let's see.

Did you see
who dropped this off?

No.

Stanton,
I need you to review ...

You're in a dressing gown.

You're lucky. Hm.

Don't get frustrated
with the will's legalese.

Honestly, no one even knows
what "heretofore" even means.

It's an if/then equation.



If my husband
should expire before me,

Then most of his estate
passes to me.

Very good.
You could be a lawyer.

If being a preeminent
microbiologist ever gets dull.

Hmm.
This is strange.

Henry donated his remains
to Bodyview.

I'd like to check up on them.

Sure.
Sure.

Yeah.
We can do that.

Great.

Let's go.

Does she mean now?

What's Bodyview?

There's one by the airport
in Dallas.

I just thought I was having
a string of bad luck.

My mailbox run over
by a harried soccer mom...

And a dead starling
on the doorstep,

The result of poor navigation.

Someone's doing these things
intentionally.

Well, I mean,
I've made enemies, Damien.

There's no denying that.
Comes with the job.

Right. I'm calling
detective norton in culver city.

Helped me prosecute
a stalker case.

Whoa, wait. Wait.

Let's not involve
the police just yet.

Oh, really?
Should we just wait

Until someone delivers
a real dead Buddha?

Well that's impossible.

You can't kill Buddha.

Look, don't fret, Damien.

I've got it handled.

Absolutely.

We extract all cellular fluid,

Then replace it
with plastic elastomers

Through vacuum-forced
impregnation.

Wow!

Oh, man!

That's so cool!

Whoa.

So real.

That's because they are.

All of our models
were once human bodies.

All right. You're okay, buddy,
right? Eyes ... eyes on me.

Is he okay?
Yeah. He's fine.

You're fine, hey,
'cause they're ...

They're just plastic people.

They're mannequins
in a store window, right?

A store in hell. No.
It's a happy store.

They remove the dermis
to reveal

That even
in our everyday tasks,

The human machine
is impressive.

That is one way we showcase
our specimens, yes.

Oh.

Um, some of our exhibits
are more showcases.

Dr. Strauss will be
part of a traveling exhibit

Called "shall we dance"?

Uh, what dance, specifically,
will he be doing?

He will be posed
doing the bachata.

It's a modern lambada.

Ah, a forbidden dance.

My husband was an esteemed
marine microbiologist.

He will not be posed forever
doing the...

Bachata.

Look, I'm just an intern.

If you got a complaint,

You got to go through
our legal department.

We can do that.

♪ ooh, what a mixture ♪

♪ such a vivid picture ♪

♪ ooh, what a mixture ♪

♪ if I must say so myself ♪

So, these are people
you've defeated,

Gained judgment against,
and otherwise bested in court.

My, it's a bloody phone book.

Of course it is.

And this ...
cases you lost.

Ah.

Oh.

Samuel Jeffers.

Ah.

So, he was released three weeks
ago from Pelican Bay.

That's the, uh,
the bank-robbery case you lost.

Well, hard to win
when there's video

Of him taking
the teller hostage.

You think it's him?

When the guilty verdict
was read,

I offered him
some buddhist wisdom.

"growth begins when we accept
our own weaknesses."

Oh, well, and obviously,
he loved that.

Exactly.

He accused me
of being blind to reality.

Well, I'm gonna have a chat
with Mr. Jeffers,

See if I can scare him off.

Well, I'll come with you.

No, no, no. You're not
coming with me, Stanton.

This ... he wanted you
to know it's him.

He's baiting you.

You got into a fist fight
with the guy over british cars.

He called my Morgan
an MG ...

Right.

I'm gonna handle it.

M.G.

Hmph.

This is
a settlement conference,

And I'm hoping to avoid
my courtroom and do just that.

Go ahead.

Your Honor, Bodyview
claims to pose specimens

To reflect
the lives they've lived.

Henry Strauss spent his life
in a lab, teaching, researching.

He had every reason to believe

That he would be posed
accordingly.

Doing science stuff.

Your Honor, for
Bodyview to stay in business,

We must have the trust of the
people who donate their bodies.

This is what
Dr. Strauss requested.

Really? Dead men
tell no contradicting tales?

That's your strategy?
No.

We get our donors to sign
specific consent forms

When they're alive.

This is wrong.

Is that his signature?

I don't care.

I know my husband
better than anyone,

And this paper does not reflect
his true wishes.

I want my husband's body back.

I'm placing an injunction
on plastinating Dr. Strauss.

Your Honor ...
for now.

If you can prove this is wrong,

Ms. Strauss
can have the body back.

If not, it's Bodyview's
to pose as they see fit.

I'll see you all
in court tomorrow.

+

What about the deceased rights
to a decent burial?

Nah. That's just to protect
the poor from being exploited.

Having sex with a corpse
used to be legal in California?

Not anymore, though.

Peter, you better knock it off
with Janie.

Henry Strauss signed a consent
form to be plastinated.

There's hardly
a precedence here.

Larry Birkhead got to bury
Anna Nicole Smith's body

Anywhere he wanted 'cause he was
her daughter's guardian,

Her closest living relative.

Where did you find that?

People magazine.
But it held up in court.

Now, Ted Williams
wanted to be cremated,

But his son had him
cryogenically frozen.

He wanted to be burned,
but they froze him?

Daddy issues.

So, what the deceased wants
isn't what matters.

It's the person that's closest
to them at the time of death

That has the final say.

Like Martha, his wife.

Oh.

Afternoon.

You have permits for this work?

Sorry?

I didn't see any construction
permits posted.

You're not from the City.

You're right. I'm not.
My name is Damien Karp.

I'm an attorney
at Infeld/Daniels.

Right. Bingo.

And if you're harassing
Stanton Infeld,

It ends right now.

Really?

Because otherwise, you're gonna
find yourself back in court.

That is good to know.

Thank you.

Remember, delicately ask Martha
about her marriage.

Prove that she's Henry's
closest living relative,

That they're not estranged.

Hanna, it is not
our first estate case.

Well, actually, it is.

Pull me away.
Hmm?

Pull me away.
From sexy sketch artist?

Yes. Yes. Pull me away. Hanna.

Hey. Morning.
Hey, Nolan.

Hi.
Hey. How are you?

Been a while, huh?
Mm-hmm.

We keep saying
we're gonna catch up.

Tonight's good.
Dinner would be amazing.

Yeah.

Dinner?

I'm sorry. My schedule
is just so crazy right now.

I can't do it.
Okay.

Well, maybe another time.

All right.

All right.
All right.

See you.

Mm.
Hanna Linden.

Mm!

Nolan Tate.
I dated him in college.

My boho-artist days,
you know?

Uh-huh.
Let me guess.

You two drifted away
after school.

Eh, it happens.
Yep.

Especially when one of you

Is a successful partner
in a big law firm

And the other
is a courtroom sketch artist.

I won't deny it.

It's almost impossible
to date a man

When you're
much more successful.

And snobby.
Uh-huh.

I am not snobby.

I'm experienced.

Guys in this situation,
they're insecure.

The ebony statue
that just asked you out

In front of the two of us ...
he's insecure?

Okay.

Crazy.

Sex Luthor over there?
You kidding me? Look at him.

So, Samuel Jeffers
hasn't paid you a visit?

No, he hasn't contacted me,
and I-I would remember him.

I saw him up pretty close.

Why are you here?

We're here because Mr. Jeffers
is a very dangerous man.

I mean, you were a key witness
after he took you hostage.

He made threats
against you and Mr. Infeld.

Now, if we can prove he's trying
to make good on those threats,

Your joint complaint
should get a restraining order.

Well, he hasn't come to see me.

And I don't want him to.

I'm sorry.

I just ... I can't help.

Hm.

Oh, well, Damien.

It'll all blow over.

Stanton, I met this guy.

I don't think
this is gonna blow over.

I think it's gonna blow up.

Well, what do you suggest?

We need to get more intel
on Mr. Jeffers.

Hey, Carmen Phillips.

How many times did you
practice saying my name

Before you got here?

I ... I mean, a couple,

Just 'cause I kept saying
Wilson Phillips.

'cause I just ...
they're great.

Stanton Infeld has a stalker.

I'm sorry. What?

We need you to follow him,
take pictures,

Do whatever you can to help us
get a restraining order.

Don't you have other
investigators at infeld/Daniels?

Yeah, but not with your
special skills.

Which are...

You're a convicted felon.

All right.
See you later, Wi...

Wils... I said Wilson,
and I meant Carmen.

Not only
did you and your husband

Live, eat, sleep together.

You also worked together.

That's right.
We shared a lab.

I think we can all agree

That a couple
that can work together,

That's ...
that's pretty close.

Certainly, Martha was the
closest living person to Henry

At the time of his death.

And the law stipulates as such,

She decides where his body
be laid to rest.

Mrs. Rheem-Strauss,
did you know

That your husband
took dance lessons last year?

He had a conference in Brazil.

He took salsa for a while.

He loved to immerse himself
in a culture.

Do you know how many
dance lessons he took a week?

I don't know.
A few.

Seven.

He took a dance class
every single day of the week.

And you didn't know?

My husband and I were monitoring
plankton blooms at the time.

We would split shifts
in our lab. We ...

What if I told you that
this woman sitting right here

Is his dance instructor?

Okay.

And what if I told you
that he told her

He wanted to be plastinated
doing the bachata?

I'd tell you that was hearsay,
your Honor.

And what if I told you
that she was closer

To your husband than you...
Your Honor ...

...And, therefore,
should determine

Henry's final resting place?

She was just his dance teacher.

No.
Sit down.

I was more than that.

miss, you're not
a witness here.

What were you to my husband?

Martha, don't talk to her.

Motion to strike, your Honor.

We were in love.

For the last time, sit down.

I told her not to talk to her.

+

My husband
had an amazing ability

To completely immerse himself
in his interests.

We once made love on a mound
of kelp as the sun rose.

Going on the bucket list.

It's all you, pal.

I'm sure Henry
threw himself into dancing

With a passion
that enthralled this woman...

That they may have had sex.

But I'm sure it was an offshoot
of dancing together,

And it never would have lasted.

These things never did
for Henry.

I'm sure of it.

Okay, so we prove
that Henry was impetuous

And alana was a passing fancy.

And that your marriage
was rock solid even though

Henry may have been sleeping
with alana to help his...

Dancing.

Yeah.

You know,
there's Mr. Cha...Grunski.

Uh, would you give us a minute?

Be right back.

Hey, just stand there
and nod, okay.

What if alana isn't just
a passing fancy?

You think Henry was moving on.

I don't know.
She is an odd one.

I believe Martha.
I believe they were in love.

What?
Believe they were in love.

If you're in love,
do you bang your dance teacher?

I was just on my way
to the printer.

Good talk.

These photos clearly show a dent

In the driver's-side door
of Mr. Jeffers' '98 buick.

Look, uh, fellas, maybe
we can just talk this out.

The dent is the exact height
of Mr. Infeld's mailbox.

That's all circumstantial.

Not enough
for a restraining order.

Maybe, based on the law shows
that people watch in prison.

I went to law school in prison.

I'm a lawyer.

Good for you.
Work the system.

Your Honor, I have an estimate
for repair for that dent

Dated July 27th,

Two days before they said
that mailbox got hit.

Mr. Karp,
how do you explain this?

Short of time travel.

Oh, I explain it very easily.

Many criminals exit prison
with more crime-related skills.

Perhaps Mr. Jeffers
went in a bank robber

And he just came out a forger.

The repairman at South Bay
can verify that estimate.

Oh, let's swear him in.

I need an honest estimate
on my Volvo.

Your Honor, on the off chance

That Mr. Jeffers
is a personal friend

Of the manager
of South Bay body,

I'd like to request
a paint comparison be done

Between the paint
on Mr. Infeld's mailbox

And that of the car.

And, your Honor,

Pending the results
of that analysis,

I would like a restraining order
against Mr. Infeld and Mr. Karp.

Oh, come on.
This is ridiculous.

Until we get that analysis,
uh, Mr. Karp, Mr. Infeld,

Consider yourself restrained.

500 yards from Mr. Jeffers.
Finis.

Thank you, your Honor.

Well, it seems I underestimated
Mr. Jeffers.

No.
He just got lucky.

Mm.
I don't mean now, Damien.

I mean before.

Look, he was videoed taking
that poor teller hostage.

He didn't seem to be
the brightest...

Crayon in the box.

Perhaps when I defended him,

Maybe I didn't give him
my best effort.

Yeah, well,
he's about to get mine.

Oh.

500 yards.

Ice boating,

Transcendental-meditation
retreats,

A biodome community
in the Santa Fe desert.

You know what these are?

No.

These are receipts, contracts,
membership agreements,

All for interests
that briefly captured

The incredibly voracious mind
of Henry Strauss.

He even tried to commute
in a hot-air balloon.

See, these receipts show

That while totally immersed
in these hobbies,

Dr. Strauss would get bored
after 8 to 12 months.

In fact, he never continued
with a lesson or paid for a club

For more than a year, did he?

I don't know.

Miss soto, how long
did Henry take lessons from you?

About a year.

Nine months.

And he was moving on.

That's not true.

Was he paying for lessons
when he died?

No, but ...

Because he had moved on,
hadn't he?

You know where
he hadn't moved from?

His home of 20 years
with his wife.

Your Honor, Martha Strauss
was the only fascination

That wasn't fleeting to Henry.

Nolan.

Hey.

Hi.

You busy?

Actually, yeah.

I got the verdict coming in
on monster mom.

I need to get her expression.

Well, about dinner, my, uh ...

My schedule's opened up.

Is that so?
Yeah.

Hanna.
Back in session.

Oh, it's okay.
You don't have to do that.

We're not.
They got a new witness.

I got to go.
Yeah.

Thanks.

And how long
did you know Dr. Strauss?

Almost 10 years.

Let me guess.
You knew him best.

You used to make
colonial candles together.

Your Honor,
are we really going to ...

He told me
he wanted to divorce Martha.

Oh, he did more
than just say it.

What is your occupation,
Mr. Kazack?

I'm a divorce attorney.

Henry asked me to draw up papers
to divorce his wife.

Uh, he paid me to do it.

We would like to enter these
as evidence

After counsel reviews them,
of course.

Okay, well, he never filed,
your Honor.

That's my fault.
I've been busy.

Counsel has made it clear

That the person closest
to the deceased has priority

When determining the final
disposition of the body.

Your Honor, Martha's
still married to Henry Strauss.

And every marriage has ...
stop. Stop.

Given Miss Soto's testimony

And the signed consent forms
and divorce papers,

I'm inclined to rule
that Miss Soto was that person.

Miss soto,
what would you like to happen

To Henry Strauss' body?

Henry wanted to be plastinated.

Can we still do that?

Henry Strauss' body
is hereby ordered plastinated.

+

You can't blame me for thinking
you were struggling.

why?

You're a courtroom
sketch artist.

I know what they get paid.

I'm an artist ... one lucky
enough to sell his design firm

So he could do what he wanted.

Courtroom sketches?

I do other stuff, but yeah.

Why not landscapes
of the lower valley?

Because there's no one
more raw, more real

Than a person having their
guilt or innocence proclaimed.

Hmm.

You know, I always
try to capture human truth.

That's what you said

The first time you
tried to paint me naked.

That's what I'm saying now.

You want to paint me?

No.

Um...

Am I getting play because you
know that I'm rich?

You got plenty of play from me
when you were poor.

My friend in the DA's office
says Jeffers is filing

An anti-harassment order
against Stanton.

Not that big a deal.

Jeffers is claiming to be
1/8 native american,

Which makes it a hate crime,

Which is actually
a very big deal.

I am not letting my uncle
get disbarred.

What?

Lots of prisoners use their
whole stretch to plan revenge,

So when they get out,
they're tough to deal with.

Is that what you think
he's doing?

I think you're losing 52
to nothing in the first quarter.

Look, serious cons
respect one thing ...

The threat
of a beat-down.

Okay, fine.

Stay. Don't leave.

As appealing...

As that sounds...

Mm. Mmm.

...I got to go work.

Mm, no.

yeah.
Really?

We can't all be
brilliant artists, you know.

See, you could have been.

Makes me sad.

What do you mean?

I remember your work.

Those black-and-whites
of that abandoned mission.

You had some real talent.

"had"?
Mm-hmm.

I'd like to think I still do.

See, it doesn't work that way.

If you forsake it,
it forsakes you.

I didn't forsake my talent,
Nolan.

I got a job.

Yeah, as a lawyer.

Yeah.
Is something wrong with that?

You know, shakespeare said,

"first...
Kill all the lawyers."

It's not like it's high art.

And you know what high art is?

Yes.
That's my job.

I'll make you some coffee
before you leave.

French pressed.

Henry and I fought.

We had our ups and downs,
but I believe honestly

That this divorce document
is lashing out.

Through divorce or his estate,

Henry wanted to make sure
you were taken care of.

Both these asset schedules

Pretty much
leave you everything ...

The stocks, the art collection,
the vacation home.

We didn't have a vacation home.

Nantucket?
Manhasset Hill?

It's listed
under real property.

Made a payment last month.

Oh, Henry.

Manhasset Hill is a cemetery.

Old family plots.

It overlooked
that beach we met on.

Kelp sex beach.

Henry made a payment
every 6 months for 14 years.

That's ... that's
quite a commitment

From somebody so impetuous.

I knew it.

I knew he really wanted to be
buried with me.

But, uh, Martha, it's too late

'cause Henry's a...

Statue.

Oh.

Oh, well.

Thank you.

A statue is art.

Mrs. Strauss.

Uh...

Do you want Henry's body back

Even though
he's been plastinated?

Yes, I do.

We might be able
to get him back.

But first, you're gonna have to
divorce Henry.

Yeah.

You were a photographer?

With the tripod and the beret
and the clove cigarettes?

Hard to imagine.

Putting lame clichés aside,
I've changed now,

Which was Nolan's point.

I have a different life now,
and I am fine with that.

Hey, thanks.
Thank you.

Hey.
Hi.

How did you all get in here?

Oh, guest passes.
We're considering membership.

I already ruled on your case.

And since you did,
it's okay for you to talk to us.

Some people don't like to chat
at the gym.

Ear buds
are usually a good hint.

Hi.

We'd like to talk about

Henry and Martha Strauss
getting divorced.

It's a totally different case.

Isn't that kind of moot?
He's dead.

There's tons of case law that
supports postmortem divorce.

There's tax implications.
There's remarriage issues.

If the case law backs it up,
I'll recognize the divorce.

Are we done?

No.

What?

Now that the divorce is final,

We'd like to talk
about claiming Henry's body.

What?

Henry left Martha
their art collection.

And now that he's plastinated,

We don't feel that he's
a corpse anymore.

I mean, we believe Henry Strauss
is now a work of art.

And, as such,
belongs to Martha.

And we have an expert witness
who will testify as much.

Do not follow me
into the steam room.

And I'll hear arguments
on this tomorrow.

Okay.
You got it.

Read text.

From Damien Karp.

Need status update.
Asap.

call Karp.

Come on.

- Finally.
- What?

Carmen, have you
wrapped the package yet?

Really?
We're ... we're doing this?

Okay. Fine.

Uh, my guys are "wrapping
the package" as we speak.

That's impossible.

Um, I'm looking at them.

Uh, no, you're not.

Jeffers just threw
a bonsai plant

Through infeld's bedroom window
one minute ago.

Well, it wasn't Jeffers.

He's in saugus right now.

What?
Oh, my god!

You got me leaning on
an innocent guy here, genius!

Listen to me, Carmen.

Do not wrap the package.

Keep it in its original box,
and return it to the store.

And do not mention my name.

Uh, you ...
you got a plan "b"?

I got to get a plan "b."

+

Based on this announcent, The
paint from Mr. Jeffers' truck is...

Not from Mr. Infeld's
mailbox.

Yes. You're right.
We kind of saw that coming.

Um, actually,
if I could be frank,

This whole thing has been
a big misunderstanding.

So, naturally, you sent a couple
no-necks to intimidate me.

Okay. That's ... that is not ...
that's not quite right.

No-necks?

If that allegation is true,

Then, Mr. Karp,
that's a very serious offense.

Your Honor, if I may approach.

Your Honor, if I may just have

Five minutes
with Mr. Jeffers,

I think we could
sort all this out.

That would be beautiful.

Thank you, your Honor.

Mr. Karp.

I'd like a word
about appropriate behavior

For an officer of the court.

Awesome.

Please don't press charges
against Damien.

You know, if anyone's to blame
for all this, it's me.

I want to apologize for
what happened five years ago.

Why? I was guilty.

I know, but, you know,
sometimes I just get caught up

In the the whole theater
of it, you know?

I ... I must understand that it's
a courtroom, not the old vic.

I ... I took a hostage
during a bank robbery,

And I didn't
disable the cameras,

And I only got five years.

You did a great job.

Really?
Yeah.

Oh. I guess I did.

yeah.

And, um...

More than that, I got to say,

You, uh ...

You inspired me.

I went out
and got an education.

Hm. Hm.

Well...

Never underestimate
the power of an apology.

I don't.

In fact, I tried to apologize
to that teller,

But she wasn't having it.

Who, sharon wright?

Yeah.
Oh.

She told me that you hadn't
tried to contact her.

I did.
Why would she lie about that?

She's been setting us up.

Us?
What's her beef with you?

Oh.

Because I really did
give you a great defense,

And it didn't sit well
with her.

Oh.

She's been harassing me and
making it look like you did it.

Hoping that we would
take each other down.

And we very nearly did.

Mm.

Wow.

You know, I'm very impressed
that you learnt the law.

Oh, well, you know ...

Was it pelican bay?

Yes, it was.

Opposing counsel
intends to call an art expert,

Which is why I've called
an expert of my own.

Chuck goodan,
what are your responsibilities

At customs
and border protection?

I designate and monitor
shipping classifications.

It's important that we know

What's coming in and out
of this country.

Mr. Goodan, are there shipping
designations for art? There is.

Have you ever shipped a
plastinated body? Yes.

Are they designated art?
No, they're not.

What designation do
plastinated bodies ship under?

Customs classifications code
970500.48.

They ship as
an anatomical collection.

Not art?

Not art.

And this is
the cbp's determination?

A branch of
the United States government,

Entrusted
with the safety of us all?

Yes.

Thank you very much,
Mr. Goodan.

They have the u.S. Government
fighting their case.

We have an artist.

It's okay.
This case is about art.

If you have any questions,
you come right back.

Thanks.

Hi, there.

I told you I can't help you.

Ms. Wright...

I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry one more time.

I will never accept
your apology.

Never.

You were a victim, miss wright,
and I'm sure that was awful.

I mean, I know this
because I was a victim, too.

You know, apology

Allows victims
of ghastly behavior ...

Being set up, for example ...

It allows them a respite
from the burden of their anger.

It also allows
the perpetrators of bad behavior

To reconsider,

To start afresh.

And I think that's wonderful.

Don't you?

Sorry.

Pardon?

I'm sorry.

And so am I.

Well, now, that's wonderful!

Who fancies a kebab?

There's a wonderful place about
a mile from here, hmm? Hmm?

Mm.
Good. Hmm.

I don't think we're there yet.

Your Honor?

Proceed, Mr. Bash.

Mr. Tate, are you
a court-qualified expert

In the field of art?

Yes.

Do you consider
plastinated bodies to be art?

Well, I'm not
one of those artists

Who think everything is art.

I abide by a, uh,
stricter definition.

And that definition is...

Art is an intentional
arrangement of things,

Physical or otherwise,
to elicit emotion.

Art must make people feel.

Okay.

We'd like to show you
something.

If a corpse comes through that
door, gentlemen, so help me.

+

How did you
get that in the building?

Oh, well, security gave it
the once-over with their wands,

And, luckily,
all his cavities are sewn up.

Okay, buddy.

Oh.
Thanks.

Mr. Tate,
Is this majestic animal,

Which is inspiring enough
to be on our state symbol, art?

Taxidermy has long been
considered art, so yes.

And yet, according to customs,

This grizzly also ships
as an anatomical item, not art.

Because customs doesn't know
what art is,

Just what something
is made out of.

Now, you said that art
is the intentional arrangement

Of things physical and otherwise
to make us feel something,

Which is why
a dance by Miss Soto...

...A lawyer's
closing arguments...

...And the plastinated body
of Henry Strauss are all art.

Correct?

Yes.

I guess my initial assessment
of "what is art"

Was incomplete.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Court will recess for 20 minutes
so we can all recover.

Well, your, uh, colleagues
are very creative.

They try to find the truth,
same as you.

Am I gonna have to ask you out
for another 10 years

Before you say yes again?

Ask me again tomorrow.

Thank you.

Franklin and bash.
We connect people.

Let's hope we connected
with the judge.

When this case started,

I thought you people
were all being petty.

I don't think that anymore.

Miss soto, I do believe

You had a genuine relationship
with Henry Strauss.

And I believe mrs. Strauss

Also had a profound partnership
with her husband.

But what is at issue now is...

Is, is his body art?

And given the extreme emotion
we've seen in this case,

I'm left with no doubt
that Henry Strauss' body is art.

The art belongs to
Martha Strauss.

I don't know if your husband
loved me more.

But I know I loved him.

And now I know
he loved to dance.

Listen. I know you've had
a bad go of it.

I know you were bested in court

By a man who went
to the university of pruno.

yes, it's not my finest hour.

Thanks for the recap.
Right.

But I will be mentoring
Mr. Jeffers,

So that means
you'll be working with him

On fridays and tuesdays.

And mondays, too, actually.

Oh, on mondays, too?
That's awesome. Yeah.

Yeah, a-and listen.

Look, I've been thinking about
the fact that you sent a man

To physically intimidate
another man for me.

It's incredible.

I was worried about you.

It's ... I was pulling out
all the stops.

Well, the next time
you feel like

Pulling out
all the stops, stop.

I mean, you're a lawyer,
for god's sake.

you could have been disbarred.

What in holy hell
were you thinking?

I think Martha's plan is cool.

Display him dancing
in a cemetery. You like that?

Yeah. Yeah.
It'd be crazy to bury him.

People put things in graveyards
all the time.

Why not a plastic,
dancing husband?

Be cool-looking.

Gentlemen.

Hey.
Hey.

We heard you won.
Yeah. That's right.

Ms. Strauss is on her way
to nantucket right now

With her giant ken doll.

It's true love.
Yep.

What do you want to have happen
to your body when you die, sir?

Well, you assume
I'm going to die.

I'm gonna be cremated.

Really?
Yeah.

Not eaten by lions?
Mm. Changed my mind.

We could do it together.
Franklin and ash.

No way. No, I'm gonna be
shot into space.

Don't you have to be
cremated first?

Really?
Yeah.

What, do you think
your body would just be

Floating around in space
for eternity, "2001" style?

Hell yeah.
I love that director!

What about you, chuckles?

Just kill me.

Hi, how are you?
How's your wife?
