The Practice (1997–2004): Season 8, Episode 22 - Adjourned (a.k.a. Cheers) - full transcript
The end to a wonderful and entertaining 8 years. The show,even with it's ups and downs kept on the edge of hour seats wanting more year after year...
WILSON: Previously
on "The Practice"
We've decided to let you go.
Go where?
Here's a check representing
two weeks' severance pay.
I've generated fees
in excess of $6 million.
You've handed me
a check for $15,000.
BERLUTI: I've always wanted
to hang my own shingle.
I got street creds.
You got integrity.
Maybe we should form
kind of a partnership.
Me and you as partners.
I'd love to submit your name
to the governor's counsel.
To be a superior-court judge?
Any word?
YOUNG: The council
confirmed me.
I got it.
Eugene, that's--
(laughing)
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Do you think
we pay you $160,000
to come down here
to the storage room
and smoke pot, Sally?
SHORE: I thought
you were absolutely
sensational up on that bar.
Well, that was surprising.
I think you like me.
Shh.
WILSON: You like her
and you don't like yourself,
with her,
you get to remake yourself...
at least somewhat.
You got a window, Al.
Just because girls in your
age bracket wait around,
don't be thinking I will.
WILSON: I know
that you're afraid
to let yourself feel
for people.
That's quite an indictment
of a person.
WILSON: Prove me wrong
with evidence--
The last time you felt for
a woman in any relationship.
I feel for you!
I am so ashamed,
I'm gonna buy a car.
Would you like to come
with me?
Because I'd like
watching you
watch me buy a $100,000 car.
Oh, gee.
Now I need to shop.
You certainly don't expect me
to try a case like this.
Judge Noonan goes to Nantucket
next week for the summer.
My neck hurts.
Go away.
Denny, problem,
Hannah's neck hurts,
and she's refusing her
trial assignment.
Tell her to go--
SHEPLEY: Denny
Walter...
Have you got a second?
It's, uh, rather urgent.
Well, go into my office.
Tell Hannah where to go.
You know that my company
has been very progressive
when it comes to hiring people
with disabilities.
I've received many,
many awards.
I don't even like
the word "disability."
I prefer "special ability,"
you know,
like "Special Olympics."
I'm getting off track.
What I'm saying,
I have many
wheelchair-bound employees
who I also consider
to be extremely special people.
Oh, Walter...
don't tell me
you make them race.
No, damn it, no.
Well, all this talk
about Olympics is very--
SHEPLEY: Will you please be
quiet and let me finish?!
As you know,
I think people in wheelchairs
are not only intelligent.
I'm a beacon
when it comes to believing
that they're also attractive,
physically attractive,
sexually attractive.
I like to touch them.
Denny, I've been arrested
for kissing some
of my wheelchair women
and two others on crutches.
I...
I was assured
it would go away,
but it hasn't.
The trial is set to go today.
I want you to take over.
You come to me
the day of trial?
I thought it would go away,
and I was so embarrassed
to tell you.
I need your help.
Denny, I have a reputation.
Well, if you didn't,
you certainly have one now.
Please.
You kiss them?
I can't help it.
Walter, I can't
represent a pervert.
Denny Crane does not have
sicko friends.
You're practically
my best friend.
Denny...
You're an evildoer.
(music playing)
This is the problem
with having feelings.
People expect
you to talk about them.
I know. It's awful.
CRANE: Alan,
I'm told you like sicko,
perverse sexual deviants.
Denny, it's not that I like
them so much as I am one.
A very dear friend of mine
is sexually attracted
to invalids.
He needs our help, son.
And you can't help him
because...
He disgusts me.
Ah.
CRANE: He's been arrested
for assault,
and his trial, unfortunately,
starts today, so--
Today?
CRANE: Yes.
I'll open, first chair.
I need you to back me up.
Alan hello.
Tara, what a nice surprise.
Mm.
Sally what's
with the outfit?
Thought I'd go grown-up,
see if I like it.
I don't.
Listen I feel funny
asking you this but...
the ibuprofen isn't getting
the job done for me.
Would you...
have any pot I could...
Ha ha.
ROSE: I'm being serious.
You certainly know
I'm incapable of humor.
You want to smoke pot?
I am in pain.
For God's sakes,
think of the leverage
you'd have on me.
PESCATORE: My friend,
Gilley Cacheri,
he's a doctor,
a psychiatrist,
I had him examine her.
Who?
Fat Angelina, he says
she has post-traumatic
botched wedding disorder.
Point is, he'll say
whatever we want him to,
and for the truth,
he'll give a discount.
STRINGER: Jimmy.
Jamie, hey.
So, this is it, huh?
Yeah.
Jamie stringer, Suzy Paponi.
It's a pleasure.
Uh-huh.
BERLUTI: So, what brings you?
Well, as you know,
I've been putting
my résumé out there.
And believe it or not,
the way you described
this place,
I don't know what
your situation is but, um--
Jamie, I couldn't pay you.
STRINGER: I know that.
It makes it more exciting.
I feel like a pioneer,
I guess.
Can I talk to you a second?
She can never work here.
Why not?
Look at her,
she is not a real person.
Suzy, if we got a graduate
from Harvard law school
for free, can you imagine?
And she's
an excellent lawyer.
We got a meeting with
the bridal-shop owner at 3:00.
I think I can make
this go away.
BERLUTI: Lenny,
this is Jamie stringer.
She works at my old firm.
She's interested
in coming here.
Why?
Well, she likes
the kind of work we do.
You banging her?
Lenny...
QUINN: How come you hire her,
but you won't hire me?
She's a lawyer. You're--
QUINN: I got legal
schooling, Jimmy.
That doesn't mean--
I could be an asset.
He banging you?
Hey.
I don't bang.
We don't talk like that here,
you understand?
You got too many rules.
I'm just concerned
this will damage my legacy.
Not to worry,
many CEOs love to fondle
their wheelchair employees.
Denny...
Suck it up, Walter.
WOMAN: All rise.
This court is in session.
The Honorable
Eugene Young presiding.
Eugene!
My buddy!
Chambers.
How did you get me
assigned to this?
I want to know.
I didn't, I swear.
So, it's just a coincidence,
my first case, my very first
case, I get you?
5,000 lawyers in this town,
and I get you?
You say coincidence,
I say "Act of God."
Come on, give me a hug,
you big bear, you.
Everybody out but him.
Ex parte, a terrific start.
I will jail you for contempt,
that will be my very first
official act.
He's making for a fabulous
judge so far,
don't you think?
I'm sorry.
Is there some
relationship here?
This man used to work
for me.
I fired him.
SHORE: I'll happily waive
the conflict
if that's where you're headed.
Ms. Alexander, I apologize,
but I must recuse myself.
I am totally fine
with you presiding.
He has a little trouble
being fair when I'm around.
Denny Crane.
Come on.
You will get another judge,
that's all.
That's all.
It's not just that he sexually
assaulted these women.
It's that he chose
disabled women,
women who could not defend
themselves.
That is beyond depraved,
to revictimize victims
is one of the grossest
affronts to humanity.
And I am confident that,
once we're through
presenting our case,
you will deal with this man
according to your sense
of justice,
certainly not his.
This would be where
you get up.
Introduce me.
I beg your pardon?
I like to be introduced
in the beginning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you Denny crane.
The district attorney
has made my client seem
like a horrible,
disgusting, vile person.
When I get done,
when I have had my say,
ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
when you have finished listening
to what I have to say
to you right now,
this very minute,
he will seem far
less disgusting,
far less horrible,
and won't seem vile at all.
Denny crane.
You're quitting?
FRUTT: Not quitting,
it's just--
with Eugene
becoming a judge,
it's made me think
about what I want to do
with my life.
Which is...
Time with my daughter,
so I'm thinking
about taking a hiatus
from practicing law.
That's great.
I think so.
But with Jimmy
and Eugene gone,
if I leave the firm,
your firm, then it's over.
It's not my firm. I--
Bobby.
What's Jamie gonna do?
She's volunteering
at Jimmy's.
She may even end up
working there.
So you're okay if I take
some time off?
Ellenor,
why are you asking me
to approve of what you do
with your life?
Come on, Bobby.
You founded that place.
You took a chance with me.
I couldn't--
I moved on,
and if you want time
to be with Zoey,
I'm all for it,
I promise you.
I don't believe you.
I'm sorry, but I don't.
If this is firm ends--
Everything has to end
sometime, Ellenor.
I'm fine with it.
She got fatter.
TORELLI:
I did not get fatter.
You did, Angelina.
I did not.
Hold on, here.
We're not gonna get into
issues of girth here.
It ain't about that.
If anything, I got thinner.
Angelina, I need you to shut
your face now.
We had a contract.
You agreed to provide
services
whereby you would make
this bride-to-be a dress.
You didn't make that dress,
Eddie, that's a breach.
There was a seamstress strike.
What, am I talking
to myself here?
That does not absolve you
of your legal duty
to perform under
the contract.
BRIMSEK: Well, maybe I
should get my own lawyer, then.
PESCATORE: You could do that,
but that's gonna cost
you more money.
The contract says
what it says, Eddie.
A lawyer's gonna charge
you 10 grand
to tell you what
I'm already telling you,
10 grand that could and should
be going to Angelina.
40 grand and you're out
of this,
what's not to think about?
Well, I need to think about it.
24 hours, no more.
HOBBS: Sometimes,
it was subtle.
He'd squeeze my shoulder,
my arms.
Other times,
it was more blatant.
ALEXANDER: Out in the open,
in front of people?
Well, he would lean over
from behind
to show me a document
or something.
I don't think that it
was obvious to other people.
ALEXANDER: And how did
it make you feel?
Violated angry.
Did you complain about it?
Yes, and then a week
or so later,
he just kissed me,
put his tongue in my mouth,
and that's when I went
to the police.
Thank you, Ms. Hobbs.
I am begging you not
to employ this tactic.
Son, cross-examination
is what heats my swimming pool.
Understood, but this
particular line of attack--
Counsel?
Yes, Your Honor.
Just a few questions,
Ms. Hobbs.
WEST: What the--
where did you get that thing?
I had it put there during
the last recess, Your Honor.
Get out of that chair now,
Mr. Crane.
Ms. Hobbs and members
of the jury,
I apologize
for that tasteless,
offending display.
Mr. Crane,
you will conduct yourself
with the integrity that goes
with the decorum of this room.
I apologize, Your Honor.
The reason I got
in that chair,
last night, I tried to put
myself in your place,
and I realized
that's impossible.
We can't get a clue
of what it's like
to live life in a wheelchair
without actually being in one.
And you think after spending
an hour in one, you know?
No, I said I was searching
for a clue,
the truth is,
I simply can't imagine.
So much of my personal esteem
goes into vanity.
I don't like to admit that.
I like to think of myself
as an attractive, strong man.
Ms. Hobbs, I noticed
in the last place you worked,
you filed a claim
for sexual harassment
against a couple of men
who were harassing not you
but other women,
am I correct in that?
The fact that I wasn't
specifically targeted
doesn't mean
that I wasn't victimized.
Understood. But did it hurt
that you weren't
a specific target?
I'm no therapist,
but did it hurt
that these men were declaring
their attraction
to all these women but you?
My mother used to tell me,
and feel free to disagree,
the woman was batty,
she told me that
if there was anything
worse for a woman
than being regarded
as a sexual object,
it's not being regarded as one.
Any truth in that?
Perhaps a little.
In spite of himself,
he's actually quite good.
I mean, sometimes,
I am mystified,
but by the end,
he knows what he's doing.
By suggesting that the women
wanted to be groped
because they were in
wheelchairs?
He mined a very universal
and human truth,
we all want to be desired.
I'm not saying
he won the day,
but the man...
seems to know what he's doing.
Well, speaking of the day...
it's over.
Would you like to get
some dinner?
SHORE: Uh, no.
Thank you. No.
I've got more to do here.
All right, then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tara...
I know, um...
the normal course of behavior
when a person
declares feelings,
a conversation would typically
ensue, shedding--
I get it, Alan.
May I just offer one thing?
Okay.
I agree that you and I
wouldn't be a good idea
and that we could never work.
And the reason
why I brought up dinner
just the same,
I have urges.
Alan...
I guess what I'm trying
to say Alan is...
I'm hungry.
I need food.
BILLINGS: Did you give
Hannah Rose illegal marijuana?
She promised she wouldn't
glamorize it.
I got to tell you, Sally,
for someone who claims
to want to succeed here,
you seem to be doing
everything you can
to sabotage your career.
Look, she asked me
for the stuff.
That's an unacceptable
response,
especially from an attorney.
For the next week,
you will not practice,
you will file.
Change into some
old clothes.
You're going to storage.
Be grateful it isn't jail.
STRINGER:
What am I looking at?
QUINN: Dottie Hatt's "x" rays,
they're beautiful.
Look at the L-5,
it's bulging.
Dottie hasn't even
been X-rayed yet.
She goes this afternoon,
it's taken care of.
Well, how do we get film
before they've ever taken
pictures?
What is this,
twenty questions?
Do you want to, like,
go to a movie or something?
Aren't you married?
Yeah, we won't tell.
PAPONI: Lenny,
Eddie Brimsek's here.
PESCATORE:
Eddie, right this way.
I hope you got cash.
I ain't paying nothing,
Lenny.
What's that?
My hearing just failed me.
I did call a lawyer of my own,
and he said that,
as long as I refunded
the money--
QUINN: That don't cover
the pain and suffering.
PESCATORE: I'll take care
of this, Manny.
That woman had to get
married wearing a sack.
Shut up.
BRIMSEK: You know what?
There's no dress known
to man
that's gonna make that bus
look good, she's a cow.
All right, let's go into
the conference room.
No, I think I'm gonna take
this meeting alone.
BRIMSEK: You can cover
a sow with satin.
You don't get no silk purse.
It's time to settle.
Jimmy...
it's really not ethical for him
to not be represented.
Well, he's representing
himself.
He can do that.
Dottie has x-rays
without ever having been
to a doctor or a hospital.
I'll look into it.
Do we break laws?
PESCATORE:
You want to do this?!
Hey!
Let them work it out.
BERLUTI: Let me go, Manny!
QUINN: These guys know
each other, Jimmy.
They're gonna kiss
and make up, I promise.
Take your hands off me now!
Look, they're already over it.
QUINN: Nobody here saw nothing,
I don't got to say that.
BERLUTI:
Manny, you don't work here.
PESCATORE:
We had some movement.
Eddie's gonna come back
with a bigger number.
So, you think
about that movie?
(indistinct chatter)
You remember Bobby.
Say hi.
Hi.
Hi, sweetheart.
Aw.
You're so beautiful.
(chuckling)
Hey, can you draw
a picture for mom?
Okay.
Right over there.
Does this mean
you've already left?
Well, I'm packing.
Listen, tomorrow,
Eugene, Jimmy,
Jamie, and I
we're having a little
goodbye celebration
at the end of the day.
Can you stop by?
Well, tomorrow,
I'm kind of jammed.
Well, we can work
around you.
Eugene is in trial, but--
I'm pretty much booked
all day.
How about tomorrow night?
Actually, I have plans.
You guys do it without me.
I, you know,
I already said goodbye.
Actually, you didn't.
You never really did
say goodbye.
In fact,
you made a big point
about how it wasn't
goodbye.
Ellenor, I'm not really into
that kind of stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Look,
I've moved on, okay?
I don't really feel like
going backwards.
It's reflecting on a franchise
that we gave our lives to.
It isn't our lives.
It's an office place.
Fine.
(sighs)
All right,
tell me what time,
and I'll try to swing by
to toast you and Eugene
and Jimmy and Jamie.
To me, it's--
it's about people,
not a space.
I don't need to say goodbye
to a space.
Actually, he's more aroused
by the wheelchair
than he is by the women.
CRANE: By the wheelchair?
Well, that makes him
even sicker, doesn't it?
Essentially, it's a fetish,
and it's not all
that uncommon.
Being aroused
by a wheelchair?
Mr. Shepley was raised
by a working mom,
typically absent
during critical stages
of his development.
Now, he himself
was injured as a child,
and his mother became
more present for him
then, tending to him.
Long story short, without
all of the psychological detail,
Mr. Shepley likes
to imagine himself
in a helpless state.
So, it's possible that
he couldn't help himself,
is that what
you're saying, doctor,
that he goes on
some sort of
sicko automatic perv pilot?
Objection.
Sustained.
DOCTOR: I can't speak
to whether his actions
were voluntary or not.
It seems that they were,
but when he sees a woman
physically disabled,
he becomes
sexually excited.
Am I ready to plead?
The jury has a legal right
to free him
if they want to,
and that's where
I come in.
When I get up to speed,
they're gonna want
to let him go.
You think?
It's our nature, Susan.
We're Americans.
It's our God-given duty
to free people,
even if they don't
particularly want to be freed.
We're liberators
at our core, Susan.
I'll ask you not to stand
so close to me.
CRANE: All I need is one,
one juror
who thinks that Walter Shepley
is a victim.
Do you really want to bet
I can't get one?
(phone ringing)
Excuse me.
Sally...
I'm on K. P. Duty,
punishment for giving
Hannah Rose some pot.
You gave Hannah rose pot
without offering me any?
I'm banished
to the storage room.
There were some
old files in here.
I can come back
if you want.
No, it's fine.
What are you looking at?
Youth.
What?
Sally, why would you give
Hannah Rose pot?
(sighs)
Maybe I'm a little
self-destructive.
You'll be happy to know
I've officially hired
a therapist.
We've already
discussed you.
And...
He said I might be drawn
to old guys
because it makes me feel safe.
Did you say "old guys"?
Sorry.
Sexy old guys.
I don't know
if I've ever been accused
of that before in my life.
Being sexy?
Safe...
I've never made anybody
feel safe.
Remember
when I kissed you?
Yes.
And I said something like,
"I can't believe
I just did that.
It just sort of
happened."
It was a little more
reflective than that.
I lied.
As did I.
Remember my response?
I said,
"That was a surprise."
Well, I saw it coming.
You didn't pull away.
No, I didn't.
Do you regret that
not pulling away?
Did you say
to yourself after,
"Next time,
I'll pull away"?
No, I didn't say that.
(music playing)
Please don't ask
to discuss my feelings.
You kiss nice
for an old guy.
I'm not the actual lawyer.
You'll have to talk to
one of the boys about that.
He brings in cases.
Fraud cases.
He's got doctors
on the take.
We don't need to know
none of that.
We want to help people
that need help.
We need cash flow.
That man over there
is a cash cow.
Look at the size of him.
Mr. Crane told me
you'd acquit his client
because you're Americans
and it's your God-given duty
to free people.
It's our nature.
And it got me thinking,
"What is our nature
as Americans?"
And I realized
this man
degraded people
in wheelchairs.
It isn't his fault,
it's yours
and yours
and mine...
because we, as Americans,
tolerate it.
My husband
is a staunch republican.
He championed the war
and put out the flag.
"We need to protect
freedom," he says.
And then, when no weapons
of mass destruction were found,
he said, "How could they make
such a horrible mistake?"
"We" in success,
"They" in failure.
It needs to always
be "We."
You look at those pictures
in the papers
of those Iraqi prisoners
degraded,
some sodomized,
some killed.
We did that.
Americans did that.
As long as we lay
claim to be a nation
governed by the people,
for the people...
the American people did that.
You did.
You did. I did.
Your honor, this is disguised
bush-bashing.
I ask that counsel
be disbarred,
effective immediately.
Could you bring it back
to the case, counsel?
We all need to be held
accountable for a society
that allows
Mr. Shepley's behavior
to be excusable.
This is not about
political correctness.
I don't care
what your politics are.
Go in that room
and vote your conscience.
Cast a vote that says,
"Our society is a moral one."
Clearly...
we cannot claim the higher road
abroad these days.
Let's at least be able
to cling to it at home.
Did she attack America?
I believe she did, yes.
Son, this has to be
rebutted cogently,
thoughtfully,
intelligently.
I agree.
Son, I'm not equipped.
(inhales deeply)
In her opening statement,
Ms. Alexander suggested
that my client
should be held accountable.
Now, it seems,
she's saying
you should be accountable.
Please. We, as Americans,
are not accountable people.
We are a nation
of finger-pointers,
be it the 9/11 commission
to the weapons
of mass destruction
to anything at all
having to do with the Red Sox.
When was the last time
you heard anybody say,
"I screwed up"?
When was the last time
you heard anybody say,
"We screwed up"?
This is America,
for God's sake.
We're always right,
and if ever we're not,
we get a note from our doctor.
Well, my client
comes to you
with a note
from his doctor.
He has a medical condition.
It's a mental disorder.
If, as Ms. Alexander
suggests,
we, as a society,
should take responsibility
here in this case
in this courtroom,
then let's get this man
some treatment.
Let's not put him in jail.
I could be wrong,
but retribution
doesn't always seem to work.
(knock on door)
Yeah?
(door opens)
(door closes)
I thought you'd be
interested to know
despite my stirring closing,
we decided to settle the case.
You're wrong.
I'm not interested.
Get out.
Eugene...
A judge...
has asked you
to leave his chambers.
Whatever our history,
if you ever again--
What did I do?
What did you do?
You called me "Eugene."
You mean
that's not your name?
I was under the impression--
Shut up!
Just shut up!
I walk in that courtroom,
my courtroom
for the first time,
and you yell out,
"Eugene! Buddy!"
You may not respect me,
but you'll respect the robe.
Do you understand?
I yelled your name
out of enthusiasm.
I yelled out, "Buddy,"
to be flip.
I apologize.
Let me tell you something,
Eugene--
I know many judges--
I've even slept with a few.
The robe is a piece of clothing.
I'm required by law,
and, I suppose, decorum,
to honor the robe.
The respect I have for you
is far more profound...
Your Honor.
(door closes)
There will be no violence
inside the premises.
I realize sometimes
scores got to get settled
outside the courtroom,
but there will be no mayhem
inside here.
Everybody checks
their baseball bats
with Suzi when you come in.
We have company bats?
BERLUTI: Second, our mission
is to become a totally
honest law firm.
I know this can't happen
overnight,
but the purpose
of this franchise
is to do good, decent work
for good, decent people.
PESCATORE: I need to preclear
three wise guys
I got lifelong stuff with--
nothing serious.
Third,
Manny, we have agreed
to extend an offer to you
as a paralegal.
You mean it?
BERLUTI:
You need to preclear with me
everything you do.
You'll be acting
as an agent of this firm.
Your salary will
be a contingency
of the business you bring in.
You won't regret it.
BERLUTI: Fourth, Jamie,
if you want to be a partner,
the buy-in is 75 grand.
That's what me
and Lenny put in.
You might want to consider,
you know, being an
associate here, since--
Yeah, I opt for that...
(clears throat)
associate.
BERLUTI: Okay.
Then...
we're a law firm.
Let's...
we're a law firm.
I don't hug.
When men hug,
it's a sign of homosexuality.
I'm against same-sex hugs.
I'll take a handshake, then.
You spoke of your esteem,
finding it in vanity.
I've found much of mine
in being your friend...
friend of Denny Crane.
ROSE: I've pushed the defense
on Peters
as far as I can, Denny.
I'm gonna need you
to close.
CRANE: Well, call a meeting.
Get them all in here tomorrow.
ROSE: You might actually be able
to do it with a phone call.
CRANE: Bring the file
into my office.
Let's do it.
Okay, Walter,
talk to you later.
SHEPLEY: Okay.
(indistinct chatter)
(exhales deeply)
I'm a mess.
You're just
figuring this out?
I mean,
I always thought I was
functionally messed up.
It worked for me.
But I...
perhaps...
well, there's no denying...
actually, there is--
there seems to be nothing
but denial on my part about--
Tara...
I have enormous
affection for you,
but, for whatever reason...
I like myself less
with you.
I'm not at all sure--
shouldn't you chime in
with something?
Isn't that how
conversation works?
You're doing fine.
I don't like being alone.
I'm good at it,
but I don't like it.
But...
notwithstanding
my feelings for you,
I see,
potentially...
a less lonely path with--
I don't know what
I'm trying to say.
You've just said it.
Always take
the less lonely path.
Somebody somewhere
must have said that.
I'd love to stay and chat,
but I'm buried with work.
Could you be a dear?
This file has to go down
to storage.
Will you drop it down
there for me?
(music playing)
BERLUTI:
I thought Bec was coming.
She got tied up
in probate.
And Bobby?
He won't show you know him
and goodbyes.
He's still telling
Lindsay
that their marriage
is just on hiatus.
Well, we got to get going.
I got to report
to night court.
STRINGER: (gasps)
You got night court?
I'm a rookie.
All right, glasses up.
To our new lives,
Eugene,
a judge,
Jimmy, Jamie
neighborhood lawyers,
Me, a mom, and...
who knows?
And...
come on, somebody help me out.
YOUNG: Okay, uh...
I have loved this place.
Every day...
no matter what
the fight or...
however ugly,
I came here every day
saying to myself,
"This place is special...
and I'm lucky
to be here."
And you
and you
and you...
and all of you...
um...
cheers.

WOMAN: You stinker!
(music playing)
on "The Practice"
We've decided to let you go.
Go where?
Here's a check representing
two weeks' severance pay.
I've generated fees
in excess of $6 million.
You've handed me
a check for $15,000.
BERLUTI: I've always wanted
to hang my own shingle.
I got street creds.
You got integrity.
Maybe we should form
kind of a partnership.
Me and you as partners.
I'd love to submit your name
to the governor's counsel.
To be a superior-court judge?
Any word?
YOUNG: The council
confirmed me.
I got it.
Eugene, that's--
(laughing)
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Do you think
we pay you $160,000
to come down here
to the storage room
and smoke pot, Sally?
SHORE: I thought
you were absolutely
sensational up on that bar.
Well, that was surprising.
I think you like me.
Shh.
WILSON: You like her
and you don't like yourself,
with her,
you get to remake yourself...
at least somewhat.
You got a window, Al.
Just because girls in your
age bracket wait around,
don't be thinking I will.
WILSON: I know
that you're afraid
to let yourself feel
for people.
That's quite an indictment
of a person.
WILSON: Prove me wrong
with evidence--
The last time you felt for
a woman in any relationship.
I feel for you!
I am so ashamed,
I'm gonna buy a car.
Would you like to come
with me?
Because I'd like
watching you
watch me buy a $100,000 car.
Oh, gee.
Now I need to shop.
You certainly don't expect me
to try a case like this.
Judge Noonan goes to Nantucket
next week for the summer.
My neck hurts.
Go away.
Denny, problem,
Hannah's neck hurts,
and she's refusing her
trial assignment.
Tell her to go--
SHEPLEY: Denny
Walter...
Have you got a second?
It's, uh, rather urgent.
Well, go into my office.
Tell Hannah where to go.
You know that my company
has been very progressive
when it comes to hiring people
with disabilities.
I've received many,
many awards.
I don't even like
the word "disability."
I prefer "special ability,"
you know,
like "Special Olympics."
I'm getting off track.
What I'm saying,
I have many
wheelchair-bound employees
who I also consider
to be extremely special people.
Oh, Walter...
don't tell me
you make them race.
No, damn it, no.
Well, all this talk
about Olympics is very--
SHEPLEY: Will you please be
quiet and let me finish?!
As you know,
I think people in wheelchairs
are not only intelligent.
I'm a beacon
when it comes to believing
that they're also attractive,
physically attractive,
sexually attractive.
I like to touch them.
Denny, I've been arrested
for kissing some
of my wheelchair women
and two others on crutches.
I...
I was assured
it would go away,
but it hasn't.
The trial is set to go today.
I want you to take over.
You come to me
the day of trial?
I thought it would go away,
and I was so embarrassed
to tell you.
I need your help.
Denny, I have a reputation.
Well, if you didn't,
you certainly have one now.
Please.
You kiss them?
I can't help it.
Walter, I can't
represent a pervert.
Denny Crane does not have
sicko friends.
You're practically
my best friend.
Denny...
You're an evildoer.
(music playing)
This is the problem
with having feelings.
People expect
you to talk about them.
I know. It's awful.
CRANE: Alan,
I'm told you like sicko,
perverse sexual deviants.
Denny, it's not that I like
them so much as I am one.
A very dear friend of mine
is sexually attracted
to invalids.
He needs our help, son.
And you can't help him
because...
He disgusts me.
Ah.
CRANE: He's been arrested
for assault,
and his trial, unfortunately,
starts today, so--
Today?
CRANE: Yes.
I'll open, first chair.
I need you to back me up.
Alan hello.
Tara, what a nice surprise.
Mm.
Sally what's
with the outfit?
Thought I'd go grown-up,
see if I like it.
I don't.
Listen I feel funny
asking you this but...
the ibuprofen isn't getting
the job done for me.
Would you...
have any pot I could...
Ha ha.
ROSE: I'm being serious.
You certainly know
I'm incapable of humor.
You want to smoke pot?
I am in pain.
For God's sakes,
think of the leverage
you'd have on me.
PESCATORE: My friend,
Gilley Cacheri,
he's a doctor,
a psychiatrist,
I had him examine her.
Who?
Fat Angelina, he says
she has post-traumatic
botched wedding disorder.
Point is, he'll say
whatever we want him to,
and for the truth,
he'll give a discount.
STRINGER: Jimmy.
Jamie, hey.
So, this is it, huh?
Yeah.
Jamie stringer, Suzy Paponi.
It's a pleasure.
Uh-huh.
BERLUTI: So, what brings you?
Well, as you know,
I've been putting
my résumé out there.
And believe it or not,
the way you described
this place,
I don't know what
your situation is but, um--
Jamie, I couldn't pay you.
STRINGER: I know that.
It makes it more exciting.
I feel like a pioneer,
I guess.
Can I talk to you a second?
She can never work here.
Why not?
Look at her,
she is not a real person.
Suzy, if we got a graduate
from Harvard law school
for free, can you imagine?
And she's
an excellent lawyer.
We got a meeting with
the bridal-shop owner at 3:00.
I think I can make
this go away.
BERLUTI: Lenny,
this is Jamie stringer.
She works at my old firm.
She's interested
in coming here.
Why?
Well, she likes
the kind of work we do.
You banging her?
Lenny...
QUINN: How come you hire her,
but you won't hire me?
She's a lawyer. You're--
QUINN: I got legal
schooling, Jimmy.
That doesn't mean--
I could be an asset.
He banging you?
Hey.
I don't bang.
We don't talk like that here,
you understand?
You got too many rules.
I'm just concerned
this will damage my legacy.
Not to worry,
many CEOs love to fondle
their wheelchair employees.
Denny...
Suck it up, Walter.
WOMAN: All rise.
This court is in session.
The Honorable
Eugene Young presiding.
Eugene!
My buddy!
Chambers.
How did you get me
assigned to this?
I want to know.
I didn't, I swear.
So, it's just a coincidence,
my first case, my very first
case, I get you?
5,000 lawyers in this town,
and I get you?
You say coincidence,
I say "Act of God."
Come on, give me a hug,
you big bear, you.
Everybody out but him.
Ex parte, a terrific start.
I will jail you for contempt,
that will be my very first
official act.
He's making for a fabulous
judge so far,
don't you think?
I'm sorry.
Is there some
relationship here?
This man used to work
for me.
I fired him.
SHORE: I'll happily waive
the conflict
if that's where you're headed.
Ms. Alexander, I apologize,
but I must recuse myself.
I am totally fine
with you presiding.
He has a little trouble
being fair when I'm around.
Denny Crane.
Come on.
You will get another judge,
that's all.
That's all.
It's not just that he sexually
assaulted these women.
It's that he chose
disabled women,
women who could not defend
themselves.
That is beyond depraved,
to revictimize victims
is one of the grossest
affronts to humanity.
And I am confident that,
once we're through
presenting our case,
you will deal with this man
according to your sense
of justice,
certainly not his.
This would be where
you get up.
Introduce me.
I beg your pardon?
I like to be introduced
in the beginning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you Denny crane.
The district attorney
has made my client seem
like a horrible,
disgusting, vile person.
When I get done,
when I have had my say,
ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
when you have finished listening
to what I have to say
to you right now,
this very minute,
he will seem far
less disgusting,
far less horrible,
and won't seem vile at all.
Denny crane.
You're quitting?
FRUTT: Not quitting,
it's just--
with Eugene
becoming a judge,
it's made me think
about what I want to do
with my life.
Which is...
Time with my daughter,
so I'm thinking
about taking a hiatus
from practicing law.
That's great.
I think so.
But with Jimmy
and Eugene gone,
if I leave the firm,
your firm, then it's over.
It's not my firm. I--
Bobby.
What's Jamie gonna do?
She's volunteering
at Jimmy's.
She may even end up
working there.
So you're okay if I take
some time off?
Ellenor,
why are you asking me
to approve of what you do
with your life?
Come on, Bobby.
You founded that place.
You took a chance with me.
I couldn't--
I moved on,
and if you want time
to be with Zoey,
I'm all for it,
I promise you.
I don't believe you.
I'm sorry, but I don't.
If this is firm ends--
Everything has to end
sometime, Ellenor.
I'm fine with it.
She got fatter.
TORELLI:
I did not get fatter.
You did, Angelina.
I did not.
Hold on, here.
We're not gonna get into
issues of girth here.
It ain't about that.
If anything, I got thinner.
Angelina, I need you to shut
your face now.
We had a contract.
You agreed to provide
services
whereby you would make
this bride-to-be a dress.
You didn't make that dress,
Eddie, that's a breach.
There was a seamstress strike.
What, am I talking
to myself here?
That does not absolve you
of your legal duty
to perform under
the contract.
BRIMSEK: Well, maybe I
should get my own lawyer, then.
PESCATORE: You could do that,
but that's gonna cost
you more money.
The contract says
what it says, Eddie.
A lawyer's gonna charge
you 10 grand
to tell you what
I'm already telling you,
10 grand that could and should
be going to Angelina.
40 grand and you're out
of this,
what's not to think about?
Well, I need to think about it.
24 hours, no more.
HOBBS: Sometimes,
it was subtle.
He'd squeeze my shoulder,
my arms.
Other times,
it was more blatant.
ALEXANDER: Out in the open,
in front of people?
Well, he would lean over
from behind
to show me a document
or something.
I don't think that it
was obvious to other people.
ALEXANDER: And how did
it make you feel?
Violated angry.
Did you complain about it?
Yes, and then a week
or so later,
he just kissed me,
put his tongue in my mouth,
and that's when I went
to the police.
Thank you, Ms. Hobbs.
I am begging you not
to employ this tactic.
Son, cross-examination
is what heats my swimming pool.
Understood, but this
particular line of attack--
Counsel?
Yes, Your Honor.
Just a few questions,
Ms. Hobbs.
WEST: What the--
where did you get that thing?
I had it put there during
the last recess, Your Honor.
Get out of that chair now,
Mr. Crane.
Ms. Hobbs and members
of the jury,
I apologize
for that tasteless,
offending display.
Mr. Crane,
you will conduct yourself
with the integrity that goes
with the decorum of this room.
I apologize, Your Honor.
The reason I got
in that chair,
last night, I tried to put
myself in your place,
and I realized
that's impossible.
We can't get a clue
of what it's like
to live life in a wheelchair
without actually being in one.
And you think after spending
an hour in one, you know?
No, I said I was searching
for a clue,
the truth is,
I simply can't imagine.
So much of my personal esteem
goes into vanity.
I don't like to admit that.
I like to think of myself
as an attractive, strong man.
Ms. Hobbs, I noticed
in the last place you worked,
you filed a claim
for sexual harassment
against a couple of men
who were harassing not you
but other women,
am I correct in that?
The fact that I wasn't
specifically targeted
doesn't mean
that I wasn't victimized.
Understood. But did it hurt
that you weren't
a specific target?
I'm no therapist,
but did it hurt
that these men were declaring
their attraction
to all these women but you?
My mother used to tell me,
and feel free to disagree,
the woman was batty,
she told me that
if there was anything
worse for a woman
than being regarded
as a sexual object,
it's not being regarded as one.
Any truth in that?
Perhaps a little.
In spite of himself,
he's actually quite good.
I mean, sometimes,
I am mystified,
but by the end,
he knows what he's doing.
By suggesting that the women
wanted to be groped
because they were in
wheelchairs?
He mined a very universal
and human truth,
we all want to be desired.
I'm not saying
he won the day,
but the man...
seems to know what he's doing.
Well, speaking of the day...
it's over.
Would you like to get
some dinner?
SHORE: Uh, no.
Thank you. No.
I've got more to do here.
All right, then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tara...
I know, um...
the normal course of behavior
when a person
declares feelings,
a conversation would typically
ensue, shedding--
I get it, Alan.
May I just offer one thing?
Okay.
I agree that you and I
wouldn't be a good idea
and that we could never work.
And the reason
why I brought up dinner
just the same,
I have urges.
Alan...
I guess what I'm trying
to say Alan is...
I'm hungry.
I need food.
BILLINGS: Did you give
Hannah Rose illegal marijuana?
She promised she wouldn't
glamorize it.
I got to tell you, Sally,
for someone who claims
to want to succeed here,
you seem to be doing
everything you can
to sabotage your career.
Look, she asked me
for the stuff.
That's an unacceptable
response,
especially from an attorney.
For the next week,
you will not practice,
you will file.
Change into some
old clothes.
You're going to storage.
Be grateful it isn't jail.
STRINGER:
What am I looking at?
QUINN: Dottie Hatt's "x" rays,
they're beautiful.
Look at the L-5,
it's bulging.
Dottie hasn't even
been X-rayed yet.
She goes this afternoon,
it's taken care of.
Well, how do we get film
before they've ever taken
pictures?
What is this,
twenty questions?
Do you want to, like,
go to a movie or something?
Aren't you married?
Yeah, we won't tell.
PAPONI: Lenny,
Eddie Brimsek's here.
PESCATORE:
Eddie, right this way.
I hope you got cash.
I ain't paying nothing,
Lenny.
What's that?
My hearing just failed me.
I did call a lawyer of my own,
and he said that,
as long as I refunded
the money--
QUINN: That don't cover
the pain and suffering.
PESCATORE: I'll take care
of this, Manny.
That woman had to get
married wearing a sack.
Shut up.
BRIMSEK: You know what?
There's no dress known
to man
that's gonna make that bus
look good, she's a cow.
All right, let's go into
the conference room.
No, I think I'm gonna take
this meeting alone.
BRIMSEK: You can cover
a sow with satin.
You don't get no silk purse.
It's time to settle.
Jimmy...
it's really not ethical for him
to not be represented.
Well, he's representing
himself.
He can do that.
Dottie has x-rays
without ever having been
to a doctor or a hospital.
I'll look into it.
Do we break laws?
PESCATORE:
You want to do this?!
Hey!
Let them work it out.
BERLUTI: Let me go, Manny!
QUINN: These guys know
each other, Jimmy.
They're gonna kiss
and make up, I promise.
Take your hands off me now!
Look, they're already over it.
QUINN: Nobody here saw nothing,
I don't got to say that.
BERLUTI:
Manny, you don't work here.
PESCATORE:
We had some movement.
Eddie's gonna come back
with a bigger number.
So, you think
about that movie?
(indistinct chatter)
You remember Bobby.
Say hi.
Hi.
Hi, sweetheart.
Aw.
You're so beautiful.
(chuckling)
Hey, can you draw
a picture for mom?
Okay.
Right over there.
Does this mean
you've already left?
Well, I'm packing.
Listen, tomorrow,
Eugene, Jimmy,
Jamie, and I
we're having a little
goodbye celebration
at the end of the day.
Can you stop by?
Well, tomorrow,
I'm kind of jammed.
Well, we can work
around you.
Eugene is in trial, but--
I'm pretty much booked
all day.
How about tomorrow night?
Actually, I have plans.
You guys do it without me.
I, you know,
I already said goodbye.
Actually, you didn't.
You never really did
say goodbye.
In fact,
you made a big point
about how it wasn't
goodbye.
Ellenor, I'm not really into
that kind of stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Look,
I've moved on, okay?
I don't really feel like
going backwards.
It's reflecting on a franchise
that we gave our lives to.
It isn't our lives.
It's an office place.
Fine.
(sighs)
All right,
tell me what time,
and I'll try to swing by
to toast you and Eugene
and Jimmy and Jamie.
To me, it's--
it's about people,
not a space.
I don't need to say goodbye
to a space.
Actually, he's more aroused
by the wheelchair
than he is by the women.
CRANE: By the wheelchair?
Well, that makes him
even sicker, doesn't it?
Essentially, it's a fetish,
and it's not all
that uncommon.
Being aroused
by a wheelchair?
Mr. Shepley was raised
by a working mom,
typically absent
during critical stages
of his development.
Now, he himself
was injured as a child,
and his mother became
more present for him
then, tending to him.
Long story short, without
all of the psychological detail,
Mr. Shepley likes
to imagine himself
in a helpless state.
So, it's possible that
he couldn't help himself,
is that what
you're saying, doctor,
that he goes on
some sort of
sicko automatic perv pilot?
Objection.
Sustained.
DOCTOR: I can't speak
to whether his actions
were voluntary or not.
It seems that they were,
but when he sees a woman
physically disabled,
he becomes
sexually excited.
Am I ready to plead?
The jury has a legal right
to free him
if they want to,
and that's where
I come in.
When I get up to speed,
they're gonna want
to let him go.
You think?
It's our nature, Susan.
We're Americans.
It's our God-given duty
to free people,
even if they don't
particularly want to be freed.
We're liberators
at our core, Susan.
I'll ask you not to stand
so close to me.
CRANE: All I need is one,
one juror
who thinks that Walter Shepley
is a victim.
Do you really want to bet
I can't get one?
(phone ringing)
Excuse me.
Sally...
I'm on K. P. Duty,
punishment for giving
Hannah Rose some pot.
You gave Hannah rose pot
without offering me any?
I'm banished
to the storage room.
There were some
old files in here.
I can come back
if you want.
No, it's fine.
What are you looking at?
Youth.
What?
Sally, why would you give
Hannah Rose pot?
(sighs)
Maybe I'm a little
self-destructive.
You'll be happy to know
I've officially hired
a therapist.
We've already
discussed you.
And...
He said I might be drawn
to old guys
because it makes me feel safe.
Did you say "old guys"?
Sorry.
Sexy old guys.
I don't know
if I've ever been accused
of that before in my life.
Being sexy?
Safe...
I've never made anybody
feel safe.
Remember
when I kissed you?
Yes.
And I said something like,
"I can't believe
I just did that.
It just sort of
happened."
It was a little more
reflective than that.
I lied.
As did I.
Remember my response?
I said,
"That was a surprise."
Well, I saw it coming.
You didn't pull away.
No, I didn't.
Do you regret that
not pulling away?
Did you say
to yourself after,
"Next time,
I'll pull away"?
No, I didn't say that.
(music playing)
Please don't ask
to discuss my feelings.
You kiss nice
for an old guy.
I'm not the actual lawyer.
You'll have to talk to
one of the boys about that.
He brings in cases.
Fraud cases.
He's got doctors
on the take.
We don't need to know
none of that.
We want to help people
that need help.
We need cash flow.
That man over there
is a cash cow.
Look at the size of him.
Mr. Crane told me
you'd acquit his client
because you're Americans
and it's your God-given duty
to free people.
It's our nature.
And it got me thinking,
"What is our nature
as Americans?"
And I realized
this man
degraded people
in wheelchairs.
It isn't his fault,
it's yours
and yours
and mine...
because we, as Americans,
tolerate it.
My husband
is a staunch republican.
He championed the war
and put out the flag.
"We need to protect
freedom," he says.
And then, when no weapons
of mass destruction were found,
he said, "How could they make
such a horrible mistake?"
"We" in success,
"They" in failure.
It needs to always
be "We."
You look at those pictures
in the papers
of those Iraqi prisoners
degraded,
some sodomized,
some killed.
We did that.
Americans did that.
As long as we lay
claim to be a nation
governed by the people,
for the people...
the American people did that.
You did.
You did. I did.
Your honor, this is disguised
bush-bashing.
I ask that counsel
be disbarred,
effective immediately.
Could you bring it back
to the case, counsel?
We all need to be held
accountable for a society
that allows
Mr. Shepley's behavior
to be excusable.
This is not about
political correctness.
I don't care
what your politics are.
Go in that room
and vote your conscience.
Cast a vote that says,
"Our society is a moral one."
Clearly...
we cannot claim the higher road
abroad these days.
Let's at least be able
to cling to it at home.
Did she attack America?
I believe she did, yes.
Son, this has to be
rebutted cogently,
thoughtfully,
intelligently.
I agree.
Son, I'm not equipped.
(inhales deeply)
In her opening statement,
Ms. Alexander suggested
that my client
should be held accountable.
Now, it seems,
she's saying
you should be accountable.
Please. We, as Americans,
are not accountable people.
We are a nation
of finger-pointers,
be it the 9/11 commission
to the weapons
of mass destruction
to anything at all
having to do with the Red Sox.
When was the last time
you heard anybody say,
"I screwed up"?
When was the last time
you heard anybody say,
"We screwed up"?
This is America,
for God's sake.
We're always right,
and if ever we're not,
we get a note from our doctor.
Well, my client
comes to you
with a note
from his doctor.
He has a medical condition.
It's a mental disorder.
If, as Ms. Alexander
suggests,
we, as a society,
should take responsibility
here in this case
in this courtroom,
then let's get this man
some treatment.
Let's not put him in jail.
I could be wrong,
but retribution
doesn't always seem to work.
(knock on door)
Yeah?
(door opens)
(door closes)
I thought you'd be
interested to know
despite my stirring closing,
we decided to settle the case.
You're wrong.
I'm not interested.
Get out.
Eugene...
A judge...
has asked you
to leave his chambers.
Whatever our history,
if you ever again--
What did I do?
What did you do?
You called me "Eugene."
You mean
that's not your name?
I was under the impression--
Shut up!
Just shut up!
I walk in that courtroom,
my courtroom
for the first time,
and you yell out,
"Eugene! Buddy!"
You may not respect me,
but you'll respect the robe.
Do you understand?
I yelled your name
out of enthusiasm.
I yelled out, "Buddy,"
to be flip.
I apologize.
Let me tell you something,
Eugene--
I know many judges--
I've even slept with a few.
The robe is a piece of clothing.
I'm required by law,
and, I suppose, decorum,
to honor the robe.
The respect I have for you
is far more profound...
Your Honor.
(door closes)
There will be no violence
inside the premises.
I realize sometimes
scores got to get settled
outside the courtroom,
but there will be no mayhem
inside here.
Everybody checks
their baseball bats
with Suzi when you come in.
We have company bats?
BERLUTI: Second, our mission
is to become a totally
honest law firm.
I know this can't happen
overnight,
but the purpose
of this franchise
is to do good, decent work
for good, decent people.
PESCATORE: I need to preclear
three wise guys
I got lifelong stuff with--
nothing serious.
Third,
Manny, we have agreed
to extend an offer to you
as a paralegal.
You mean it?
BERLUTI:
You need to preclear with me
everything you do.
You'll be acting
as an agent of this firm.
Your salary will
be a contingency
of the business you bring in.
You won't regret it.
BERLUTI: Fourth, Jamie,
if you want to be a partner,
the buy-in is 75 grand.
That's what me
and Lenny put in.
You might want to consider,
you know, being an
associate here, since--
Yeah, I opt for that...
(clears throat)
associate.
BERLUTI: Okay.
Then...
we're a law firm.
Let's...
we're a law firm.
I don't hug.
When men hug,
it's a sign of homosexuality.
I'm against same-sex hugs.
I'll take a handshake, then.
You spoke of your esteem,
finding it in vanity.
I've found much of mine
in being your friend...
friend of Denny Crane.
ROSE: I've pushed the defense
on Peters
as far as I can, Denny.
I'm gonna need you
to close.
CRANE: Well, call a meeting.
Get them all in here tomorrow.
ROSE: You might actually be able
to do it with a phone call.
CRANE: Bring the file
into my office.
Let's do it.
Okay, Walter,
talk to you later.
SHEPLEY: Okay.
(indistinct chatter)
(exhales deeply)
I'm a mess.
You're just
figuring this out?
I mean,
I always thought I was
functionally messed up.
It worked for me.
But I...
perhaps...
well, there's no denying...
actually, there is--
there seems to be nothing
but denial on my part about--
Tara...
I have enormous
affection for you,
but, for whatever reason...
I like myself less
with you.
I'm not at all sure--
shouldn't you chime in
with something?
Isn't that how
conversation works?
You're doing fine.
I don't like being alone.
I'm good at it,
but I don't like it.
But...
notwithstanding
my feelings for you,
I see,
potentially...
a less lonely path with--
I don't know what
I'm trying to say.
You've just said it.
Always take
the less lonely path.
Somebody somewhere
must have said that.
I'd love to stay and chat,
but I'm buried with work.
Could you be a dear?
This file has to go down
to storage.
Will you drop it down
there for me?
(music playing)
BERLUTI:
I thought Bec was coming.
She got tied up
in probate.
And Bobby?
He won't show you know him
and goodbyes.
He's still telling
Lindsay
that their marriage
is just on hiatus.
Well, we got to get going.
I got to report
to night court.
STRINGER: (gasps)
You got night court?
I'm a rookie.
All right, glasses up.
To our new lives,
Eugene,
a judge,
Jimmy, Jamie
neighborhood lawyers,
Me, a mom, and...
who knows?
And...
come on, somebody help me out.
YOUNG: Okay, uh...
I have loved this place.
Every day...
no matter what
the fight or...
however ugly,
I came here every day
saying to myself,
"This place is special...
and I'm lucky
to be here."
And you
and you
and you...
and all of you...
um...
cheers.
