The Practice (1997–2004): Season 2, Episode 11 - Hide and Seek - full transcript

We are live on the scene
as the SWAT team is arriving.

[ Woman ]
Detective?
[ Helicopter Blades Whirring ]

Go, go, go!

Okay, here.
Take the helmet.
I don't need the helmet.

He'd shoot you in the chest,
but not the head?
He's not gonna shoot me.

Why's that?
Professional courtesy?

I don't have to do this.
I'm not advising you
to do it.

The guy is nuts.
My money, we'll be
carrying you out.

My money,
you're carrying him out.
That's why I'm goin' in.

Okay, Gordon.
Your attorney
is on his way in.

Gordon?



It's a witch hunt, Eugene!
A witch hunt!

Yes. Well, the witch
is surrounded, Gordon.

You gotta give it up.

Can I take the tape
off her mouth?

She cries.
She plays the victim.

She is a victim.
You broke into her home
and took her hostage.

No! They chased me in here!
They did this!

- I'd like to let
this woman go.
- No, you don't!

Whoo! Easy. Easy.
Listen.

Now I've helped you before,
let me help you now.

You can't help me.
I'm gonna die.

They'll either shoot me here,
or I'll turn up hangin'
in my cell.

Apparent suicide.

They'll get me.
You can't change it.



You got the cards here, Gordon.
You're the only one who knows
where those children are.

The police can't shoot you.
They need you,

'cause you got the kids.

[ Mumbling ]

But I don't, Eugene.

God has them now.

What?

They're with God.

They're in the arms
of his loving joy.

[ Line Ringing ]

[ Cell Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Sirens Wailing ]

Move, move, move!

[ Reporter ]
The suspect's lawyer has been
in the house talking.

The first thing we gotta do
is survive. That only happens
by us walking out.

They'll shoot me down
like a wasp.

Look, we'll walk out together.
You and me, nice and easy.

[ Man Shouting ]
No handcuffs!

[ Eugene ]
They have to cuff you.

They'll even push you
down to the ground,
but-but-but, hey.

But you won't get hurt
if you don't resist.

Okay?

[ Whimpering ]

Let's do this.

Put the gun down
on the floor.

Hands in the air!
Let me see 'em!

Get 'em up!

Come down the stairs.

- Onto your knees.
- Just drop to your knees,
Gordon. Nice and slow.

Go get 'em! Go!

Okay, get him out of here!
Let's go! Come on!

What's the mystery?
Bobby, uh--

Senator Patanki's assault trial.
I'd like you to second chair.

That trial started yesterday.
I saw it on the news.

Yeah. If all goes
according to plan,
it'll be over by Thursday.

You won't have
to do a damn thing.

But, uh, I haven't been having
a great week, Bobby.
And I could use some backup.

- What do you mean you're
not having a great week?
- Between you and me?

- Of course.
- Well lately, I--
I forget things.

It's embarrassing to have
to ask you to do this,

but well, I'm a little
nervous about going solo.

- Have you been to a doctor?
- Yes. It's not Alzheimer's
or anything like that.

No, it's just an old memory,
they say, that's acting
its age.

That's all. And with
all this media hype,

well, I'd like some backup.

I'm sorry.

- I just need to get a file.
- What "file"?

Hi, Mr. Oz.
Hi.

Yeah.
I'm Lindsay Dole.

I saw you walk by.
Bobby told me
he worked with you once.

In fact, he's told me
all about you. I mean,
not that he had to.

You're a legend at Harvard.
I'm sure you know that.

[ Chuckles ]
Harvard.

Oh, you know, young lady,
Harvard is fine if you want
to do appellate work.

But if you want to be
a litigator, I'll take B.U.
lawyers any day in the week.

You see, they're fighters.
They're scrappers.
Well, they're hungry.

I think it's the chip they have
on their shoulder from not being
accepted into Harvard.

I'm going to be cocounseling
the Patanki assault trial.

The state senator?
I thought that trial
already started.

Well, I'm jumping in.
So, we need to switch
the Tamarack deposition.

Can I come to?
I can switch my schedule around.

It would be an honor
just to be at your table.
Can I?

If I even see a glimpse
of anybody--

The children
were seen with you.

If that turns out to be
their blood in your car,
you're a goner, Gordon.

In my opinion,
it's time to play nice.

Please don't talk to me
like I'm a three-year-old.

I don't play nice with
the three-year-olds, Eugene.
That's why I'm here, remember?

So don't talk to me
like a child.

I'm talking to you
lawyer to client.

Tell the police
where the children are.

And what do I get out of it?
What's the deal?

They reduce to manslaughter?
Reckless endangerment?

Single life sentence.
Parole would be a possibility.

Life.
You're cutting a deal
to get me life?

You're lookin' at double life.
No parole.

Why the hell
would I cop to life?

You're gonna cop to tellin'
the police where you buried
those boys.

You said God has those kids.
That tells me you believe
in God.

You gotta be afraid
of what the Almighty
has in store for you.

He's vengeful.
Let's not forget that.
Those little boys got parents.

Let them bury their kids.

[ Chuckles ]

It's not a lot of money.
It's the principle
of the thing.

I want to enforce the contract.

What sort of public
appearance was this?

It was the opening of a salon.
It's not a big case,
Mr. Berluti.

What?

You're--
You're Jane Elaine.

I said that.

You're Lila,
from The Marooned.
That was a long time ago.

Are you all right?
Oh, I'm-I'm fine.

It's just-- Um, it was
my favorite TV show ever.

I watched it every day.

I still watch it
in reruns.

You're... Lila.

My real name is Jane.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
[ Clears Throat ]

Okay, uh, let's talk
about the case.

For someone who's made
a career on the First Amendment,
this would be a departure.

Now, this isn't about
freedom of the press.

A photographer
is no journalist.

But do you plan
to take a hard line
on the victim, sir?

The victim?
Yes, I'm going to be
very gentle with the victim.

My client.
What's that in your eye?

Excuse me?
Uh-huh. It's me.

[ Laughing ]

I'm in for a treat,
aren't I?
You have no idea.

Were you on the
senator's property?

I certainly was not.
I was on the sidewalk.

A public way, for the entire
extent of takin' them photos.

And at some point after
Mr. Patanki asked you to stop--

Well, he sent his wife inside
and she took the baby with her,
and then he approached me.

- And what happened then, sir?
- Well, he snatched me camera.

Uh, he tried to open it up.
I presume it was
to expose the film.

- And I tried to get it back.
- Excuse me.

Could I ask the witness
to speak a little louder?

I realize it might be
my 82-year-old ears,

but from where I'm sitting,
he sounds like a weasel.

Objection!

Oh, now there's a man
who speaks up.

- Mr. Oz.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

What happened when you tried
to retrieve the camera,
Mr. Gibbons?

We wrestled slightly.

After that, he pushed me
to the ground and then
he kicked me in the head.

I put my hand to my face,

my nose was broke
and he kicked me again.

After that point,
I lost consciousness,

and the next thing I know,
I'm wakin' up
in a hospital bed.

Mr. Gibbons,
do you remember going to
Senator Patanki's home...

uninvited on
this Sunday afternoon?

- Yeah.
- And if your memory
serves you correctly,

your mission was
to obtain photographs
of Senator Patanki,

his new bride
and their child?

That's right.
For what purpose?

Was this a piece
for the New York Times
or the Washington Post?

Look, he's a state senator.
She's a beautiful model.

People want to know.
People want to see.

You were planning
to sell those photos
to a scandal magazine,

for which you were to be paid
between $10,000 and $20,000.

Isn't that true, Mr. Gibbons?

Well, I don't create the demand,
now do I, counsel?

Oh, of course you don't. No.
No, you perform
a public service.

After all, this is news.

The senator shouldn't expect
to play with his child.

He shouldn't expect to have
the privacy of his own yard,
because this is news.

- Objection to the speech.
- Speech?

If learned counsel
had ever heard me before,
he'd know that was no "speech."

- [ People Laughing ]
- What I do know is this is not
the Raymond Oz show here.

It could be if you'd stop
interrupting, young fella.

Let's just address
the witness, counsel.

The witness. Yes, the--

The witness.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

you know when a witness
takes the stand,

he puts many things
into evidence,

including his credibility
and his demeanor,

and I think they're just
as important as his testimony.

I certainly do. And therefore,
I'm going to beg the court's
indulgence for a second,

before I ask the witness
my next question,

I'm going to ask
the jury to observe him.

For 30 seconds,
I want you to measure him.

- And I think you'll be
surprised at what you can see.
- Come on.

Thirty seconds, Your Honor,
that's all I ask.

I'll give you 20.

Bobby, who is he?

What?
The witness.
Who the hell is he?

The photographer.
He took the pictures.
Oh.

Gibbons. Yeah.

All right.
All right, Mr. Gibbons.

Now let's you and me talk,
shall we?

Let's talk a little bit
about journalistic integrity.

Shall we?

[ Train Horn Sounding ]

He said both kids
were together?

Yep.

[ Siren Wailing ]

Oh, my baby!
Oh, my God, my baby!

My baby, no!
You had to bring the parents?

I was supposed to tell them
they had no right?

My baby! No!
[ Sobbing ]

We've got genocide
going on in Rwanda.

And we've got the
Kurdish factions routing
each other everyday.

Of course,
the news corporations
give us updates, don't they?

He can still strut
on both sides of the door.

Princess Di's love life--

Joanne, these--
these memory lapses
he told me about?

Oh, they come and go.

Most of the time,
he's fine.
But when they hit--

[ Sighs ]

He forgot who that
witness was, didn't he?

You could tell?
Well, only because
he clenched his hands.

Most of the time,
that's the only way I can tell.
He makes these fists.

Joanne?

Level with me.

He had a slight stroke
about a year ago.

The CAT scan showed something
on the memory part of the brain.

Everything else,
he's okay.

[ Raymond ]
Madonna's abdomen.

And then, of course,
they videotape Jane Pauley
and Barbara Walters...

fighting over
who's gonna release the news.

- We had a deal!
- We're goin'
into court tomorrow.

How could they just renege
like that? We had a deal!

Gordon, the coroner
says the kids were sodomized.

The D.A.'s office isn't
too concerned about reneging.

- What kind of lawyer are you?
- We're goin' into court.

- We'll try to enforce
the agreement and then--
- Next time, I don't tell.

That's the message here.
Don't tell.

The thing is,
the salon closed.

And the guy is kinda
judgment proof. So, suing him
wouldn't make much sense.

But he's got this other,
uh, venture capital thing
going down,

and he's willing
to give you stock options,
supposedly worth double.

- All right.
- Good.

Fine. Okay.

How do we proceed?

Oh, uh, we'll wait out
this stock thing.

And in the meantime,
we'll just touch.

Uh, keep in touch.

- Mr. Berluti, it's-- it's okay.
- What's okay?

Well, I know I was
some sort of sexual icon
to teenage boys back then.

You don't have to apologize.

Oh, good. Well, fine.

You know, growin' up, there
was only three women that I--
you,

Ginger and Mary Ann.

Oh, I shouldn't
have said that.

It's okay.
Let's talk about the case.

I put myself in public life,
and I expect to be dogged
by the press.

But when I'm at home,

am I expected to
sacrifice my entire
private life?

Are my children fair game?

Senator Patanki, do you really
think it's reasonable...

to hold the news media...

up to the standards
of common decency?

- Objection.
That's argumentative.
- Sustained.

- Objection.
- Sustained!

- Mr. Oz, please.
- Oh, sorry, Your Honor.

- He really is a little stinker,
isn't he?
- [ Laughter ]

- Objection!
- Sustained!

- Hey!
- Sorry, Your Honor.

Please, uh, proceed, sir.

Well, I didn't attack him.
We got into a wrestling match.

I was trying to get his camera
and it turned into a fight.

He swung, I swung,
and it was a fight...

he was willing to participate in
until the moment he lost.

What were you really
trying to win, sir?

I think I was trying to win
my right to privacy.

If we want our best people to
come forward and give themselves
to public service--

and I believe we do--
then how can we continue
to let a mercenary press...

brutalize their individual
freedoms and the individual
rights of their families?

For greed? For profit?

[ Bobby ] You didn't
know who he was, Raymond.
That's nonsense.

I was watching you.

When you looked over at both
tables, you saw the empty chair
next to yours...

and you quickly figured out
the guy on the witness chair
must be your own client.

It was a very efficient direct.
I got everything I needed.

But you didn't know
your own client.

Has this been going on
since the stroke?

Joanne told me.

Short-term memory.

Long-term memory is fine.

And I know the reason.
It's when I digress
with opposing counsel.

When I digress,
I lose focus.

I'm going to cut out
all the bantering and baiting.

Of course, it's--
it's my favorite part.
[ Laughing ]

Raymond, maybe I should close.

Look, my friend,

when either of you see me
commit malpractice,

or if you see me lose a case
that I should have won,

then I want you to tell me
to pack it in.

I really do.
But that's not gonna happen.

Tell him, Lisa.

Lindsay.

We should go to the judge.
And say what?

To everyone in that room,
he's doin' great.

We're officers of the court.
We know this lawyer forgets
who witnesses are.

His own client.
Let's just wait and see.

Wait for what?
Bobby, you love this man.

But remember,
we're cocounsel on this case.

Senator Patanki
is our client too.

Yeah. It may not be in his
interest to take Raymond off.
I think he's winning.

Even so, we gotta
get this on record.

In my opinion,
he's doin' okay.

He-- He gave me
my first job.

I might not even
be a lawyer if--

We're not going
to the judge.

Not yet.

This is not about the nature
of the crime.

It's about a representation
made by a district attorney
to a defense lawyer.

An offer extended,
then accepted
by the defense lawyer--

No meeting
of the minds, Judge.
"No meeting of the minds?"

In accordance with
our express agreement,

my client directed
him to the bodies.

He willingly...

revealed incriminating
evidence in exchange
for parole being included.

No meeting of the minds, Judge.
We knew that the defendant
had killed the children.

We did not know that
they were sodomized before.
That changes the elements.

My client has
a previous record
of molestation.

They certainly knew--
We did not know!

All right, I've heard enough.
The defense motion is denied.

Due to popular demand,
ladies and gentlemen,

- we're gonna say screw the
normal procedure this time--
- Counsel.

Judge!

Motion denied.
See ya.

[ Gavel Raps ]

- So what now?
- We got grounds for appeal.

Hey, Eugene, does it
matter that I did 'em
after they were dead?

No.

I bet it does to them.

- [ Groans ]
- [ Judge ] Hey!

Bailiff! Stop him!
Bailiff!

- [ Bailiff ]
Get out of the way!
- [ Judge ] Stop this man!

Stop him, Bailiff!

[ Crowd Shouting ]

Take it easy.
Take it easy!

[ Gate Opening ]

Hey.

Eugene?

I don't even remember.

All of a sudden,
I was on top of him.

And I don't even
remember what happened.

Well, he's okay.

Concussion, broken nose,
but, uh, he'll live.

Great.

It was self-defense.

We're not filin'.
You can go, Eugene.

Self-defense?

It's my call.
[ Scoffs ]

The truth is, I think it was
on some psychological level.

He can go.
I'd like to stay.

I'd like to stay
for a bit.

I think you'd feel better if--
if, um-- if I took you home.

I said I'd like to stay.

Absolutely.
I'm on my way.
He won't come out of the cell?

I'm going down there.
I'm going with you.

[ Jimmy ]
I won't accept that!

You can't treat her
like this!
We're talking about Lila!

I'm just practicing.

This isn't a referendum
on tabloid journalism.

And I'm not up here cloaking
myself in the American flag,

trumpeting the
First Amendment.

No. This is about
an act of violence.

An act of criminal violence.

The defendant
attacked a man.

He repeatedly kicked him.

He fractured his skull!

He nearly killed him.

And what?

We're supposed
to forgive this because
he's a state senator?

He gets to be above
the law now?

He almost killed a man.

Of course he has
to go to jail.

Jail? Yeah.

Jail is a very serious thing,
isn't it?

We take away a man's life,
don't we, when we put
a man in jail?

We've got to think
very hard before we take away
a man's freedom.

So let's examine
the facts in this case,
ladies and gentlemen.

The facts-- The facts
that will impel you...

to say whether this good man
maintains or loses...

his God-given liberty--
his life.

[ Sighs ]

Oh, no.

Get up.
Bobby, he's lost.

No. No.

You know the facts!
You know the facts.

You know the facts.

There's only one thing
that remains now. One single
thing remains in this trial.

And that is you, the jury.

Your wisdom
and your compassion.

That's all that remains.

You know there's an old,
old, ancient tale...

of a small town
where there lived
a very wise old man.

And there was a young boy...

who was determined
to show that that old man...

wasn't really as smart
and as wise as--

as he pretended
to be after all.

And the young boy had a plan
to humiliate the old man.

His plan was to capture
a small bird,

and take the bird
cupped in his palms
to the old man and say,

"What do I have
in my hands, old man?"

He didn't expect the old man
to guess correctly,
but even if he did,

the young boy would then say,
"Is it dead or alive, old man?"

And if the old man said,
"It's alive,"

then the boy was going
to squeeze the bird,

break its neck, and
then reveal it to be dead.

However, if the old man
said, "It's dead,"

he would simply open
his palms and
allow the bird to fly away.

So he went and caught
the bird and he brought
it to the old man...

and he said, "Old man,
what do I have in my hands?"

And the old man looked at him
a moment and then he said,

"You have a bird
in your hand, young man."

And then the young man said,
"Is it dead or alive,
old man?"

And the old man looked
at him a long moment,

he finally said,

"The bird is in your hands."

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

this good man's life...

is in your hands.

Nine thousand, plus interest
by the end of business.

- Wow!
- I made them realize
who they were dealing with.

Jimmy "The Grunt".
Lila.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm sorry
to be acting so--

It's okay.
I'm used to it.

I get it all the time.
I wish I didn't, but--

Do you-- Aren't you proud
of who you are?

Well, who I am has nothing to do
with one character I played...

who happened to
wear tight dresses
that excited teenage boys.

You know, I've played
a lot of roles.
I come from the theater.

My self-esteem has nothing
to do with one insipid
little sitcom.

You sound like
you regret doing it.

[ Scoffs ]
Why would I regret it?

Twenty years later, I get to
walk down the street and have
grown men call me Lila.

Yeah.

Well, uh, you can pick up
your money tomorrow.

Great. Thanks, Jimmy.

Hey.

How about a game
of cribbage?

This has been comin', Eugene.

You've had a string of putting
guilty scum back out there.
This has been coming.

I put this particular
one back out there.

Two little boys are dead 'cause
I got this guy time served
on a prior conviction.

Eugene, don't go there.
[ Laughs ]

No.
"Don't go there."

Stay back where it's safe.
Stay tucked inside your nice
little jingle.

Defense lawyers do their jobs.
Uh, we're players in a system.

We're necessary pieces
to the process of justice.

Two little boys are dead.
A four-year-old boy and
his five-year-old brother...

were murdered and raped
by a man who was out there
'cause I played my part!

I played my part!
I played my part! I can't
play my damn part anymore!

[ Exhales ]

They're dead.

They're dead.

Eugene.

There's one thing I know.

You are a good man.

Now there's nothing
I'm more sure of than that.

And it seems to me what
the legal system needs
most right now...

is lawyers who are good men.

You gotta come out
of this cell, man.

Yeah, I gotta come out,

'cause there's a funeral
I gotta go to.

- Are you out of your mind?
- You forgot the facts
of the case!

It was a very
effective closing.

Didn't you see the faces
on those jurors?

That was Jerry Spencer's
closing. One of his standards.
What are you talking about?

This jury never
heard it before.

And Jerry's a friend of mine.
He'd be tickled.

Did you see
when I made the gesture
of releasing the bird?

One of the jurors actually
watched it fly away.
Did you catch that, Lucy?

- Lindsay.
- Joanne, could you give us
just one second?

Please?
Oh, of course.

Ray, I can't stay quiet.

I have the ability to cover.

This is a criminal case.

I have the presence to know
when my memory's failing.
But--

Now, I've got a hundred
tricks to compensate.
The stakes are too high.

I'm gonna win this, Bobby.

You might.
But if you don't,

I just want to get this
on record with the judge,
to protect the client.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

You go to the judge and you
tell him that I've forgotten
the facts in this case,

he has no alternative
but to go to the bar.

And I'm finished, Bobby.

Bobby, I may not be
what I once was,

but I can still get
the job done.

I don't think so.

I always thought of you...

as a son.

Then listen to your son.

What do you, uh--
What the--
[ Door Closes ]

What the hell
do you want me to do?

You want me to go home and stare
at the plaques on my wall?

I am a trial lawyer,

and that's what I do.

And the day I stop doing it...

will be the day that I die.

Now, Joanne, you--
you sit in that courtroom
everyday.

You watch me.
And when the time comes,

I'm sure that
you'll tell me, won't you?

Well, of course I will, Ray.

[ Stomps Foot ]

I will be going
to see Judge Lawrence.

I'm sorry, Ray.

[ Scoffs ]

I'm not done yet.

[ Door Opens ]
Joanne?

You said you didn't
want him to get hurt.

I think he's doing fine
out there. He's still okay.

[ Sighs ]

I can't tell him.

The fall is coming.

It can happen in private,
or it can happen
in front of the cameras.

He is only going
to listen to you.

For God's sake, Joanne,
you have to tell him.

What do you mean,
"He's incompetent"?
I think Ray's winnin'.

The reason he gave
the Gerry Spence
"bird in the hand" closing...

was because
he forgot the facts.

And that time-out he took for
the jury to measure the demeanor
of the witness,

that was so he could ask me
who the witness was.

I think what Bobby's trying
to say is I have forgotten more
than most lawyers ever know.

And to that,
I say he's right.

Turning phrases
isn't gonna do it.

United States versus Roberts.
That was me.

Kendall versus Cooper,
U.S. Supreme Court, 1972. Me.

I am not denying your legacy.

Look, Mr. Horowitz,
do you have anything
to say here?

If I understand this correctly,
I'm being whipped by a man who
should be deemed incompetent?

I must say,
I don't know what...

Attorney Donnell's motive
would be to make these
allegations if--

But on the other hand, I've
been the judge on this trial.

I haven't seen anything
that remotely looks
like incompetence.

- There is your answer.
- But it's not the question.

- Who's turning phrases now?
- Raymond.

If you go out now,

you go out with the reputation
you deserve.

Bobby, you show me a man
who quits while he's ahead...

and I'll show you a quitter.

All right, now I've turned
two phrases to his one.

- What's my name?
- What?

What's my name?

[ Chuckles ]
This is absolute nonsense.

What's her name, Ray?

Hey, Don, come on.

I've been practicing law
for 56 years.

What is this woman's name?

Is this what it comes down to?

Fifty-six years of practice...

comes down to whether I can
remember a young woman's name?

Yes, it does.

All right, then.

Lindsay Dole,
Harvard class of 1994,

single,
Constitutional scholar.

Only trial to date,

she took on and defeated
the tobacco industry.

And I won't mention
the little suspension...

she got
for talking to a juror.

Well, it looks like
I win again.

I wonder what's
keeping that jury.

Joanne.

Joanne?

It's time, Ray.

It's time to quit.

I'm winning, darling.
I'm winning.

[ Joanne ]
I know. I know.

But you're getting worse.

It was that stroke,
sweetheart.

More and more
you're forgetting the--

Darling, you're going
to be hurt.

I really think it's time.

You got her to do this.

This is unfair surprise.
I want him sanctioned!

You're trying to ruin me.

I can still win a case by just
walking into the courtroom.

I'm Raymond Oz.

I'm Raymond Oz,
for God's sake!

[ Judge ]
Raymond, as far
as I'm concerned,

there's been no apparent
malpractice by you
doing this trial.

Since the jury
is in deliberation,

my feeling is
that we should just let them
return their verdict.

After which,
I think you should retire.

Proudly and gracefully.

Do this, and this meeting
never took place.

If you don't, I'll have no
choice but to go to the bar.

And I'm sure
none of us wants that.

I'm winning.

I'm winning.

Made out to you--
7,200.
What about your third?

Well, one day's work,
I couldn't stick you
for the whole contingency.

But you're a lawyer.
Oh, that's good.

Look, uh, I know I said stuff
already I shouldn't have,

but could I say
just one more thing?

Sure.

I kinda got
the impression that
you're not too proud of how--

I don't know--
being known as a sex
object or something.

And I understand this.

I do.

But you should know
you were more than that.
At least to me.

I was?

I went on my first date
when I was 22.

Whatever girls saw in me
wasn't something
they were looking for.

Not that you need
to hear this, but...

on the night
of my senior prom,

I listened to music
at home with headphones.

I turned out the lights...

and I just pretended
I was dancing with you.

You were wearing
that white dress.

And we danced.

I'm only sayin' this
'cause guys like me--
and there's a lot of 'em--

we're never gonna
get the girl of our dreams--
never gonna come close.

So, the dream itself
becomes kind of important.

To turn on the TV,
or go to a movie...

and pretend the girl is
somebody you might be with.

That's as good as it gets.

I had a great time at my prom,
so you should be proud.

You were there
for guys like me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Would you like
to dance with me now?
- What?

- Just one dance.
- Uh, you don't gotta do that.

I'd like to.

One of the problems
in putting a human face on God,

we tend to
attach human traits,

human reason to his ways.

That can be
a losing proposition.

I could say that we should
feel enriched and blessed...

for having known
little Timothy and Richard.

But it's difficult to feel rich
when you've been so robbed,

to feel blessed
in the wake of such evil.

I could stand here and tell you
to keep your faith,

but I'd be at a loss
to tell you how.

So I thought,

instead of standing here
and throwing out hollow words,

maybe we should...

all just... stand here.

The defendant will rise,
please.

The jury has its verdict?

- We do.
- What say you?

"In the Commonwealth versus
Frank Patankion one count
of aggravated assault,

we find the defendant,
Frank Patanki, not guilty."

[ Cheering ]

[ Chattering ]

Well, young fella,
it's too bad somebody
has to lose,

but the truth is
you weren't really very good.

[ Chuckles ]
I can appreciate that.

Well, Bobby, I did it.
I pulled us through.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know.
