Chapter 1
Billy: Sexaholic?
Richard: I found a shrink who'll testify un-categorically that's what he is. Sexaholic. She would like to meet him first.
Ally: He's a US senator, Richard. He's not gonna let us portrait him as a sex addict.
Richard: Oh, please. Politicians love that. Besides, it could even be true. I hear they call his penis the Titanic because over 1500…
Billy & Ally: Richard!
Richard: Bygones.
Georgia: We're not gonna win this by telling the jury he's a sex addict. This is about one affair which led to marriage. We don't…
Richard: Suppose there are other affairs to establish a pattern.
Ally: There's no evidence of any other affair.
Richard: Well, let's get some evidence so we can argue he's sexaholic.
Billy & Ally & Georgia: Richard!
Billy: Let's just focus. We're all a little nervous here. Let's calm down.
Richard: We should argue the summary judgment motion.
Georgia: The Supreme Court has ruled on that.
Richard: They ruled on a president. They didn't go to Senators.
Ally: Richard, if the president can be sued while in office, we're gonna be hard-pressed to say that a senator can't.
Richard: We should still try.
Ally: Richard!
Richard: Ally!
Ally: Richard!
Richard: John?
John: Hm-hmm...
Ally: Okay, we have a real shot on the merits here.
Billy: If we go on arguing a point of law.
Ally: That the Supreme Court has just ruled on.
Billy: We'll lose.
Ally: Or we're gonna make ourselves more desperate
Billy: Which will hurt our credibility.
Ally: At trial.
Richard: Have you two been passing notes on class?
John: May I make a suggestion? The summary judgment argument was made before the judge alone. There's no risk of looking silly before the jury.
Richard: Exactly.
Billy: There is the risk.
Ally: Of alienating the judge. You go.
Billy: If we lose our credibility with the judge, it could affect our chances at trial.
John: Which is why we have Richard argue it. With respect to the law, he has no credibility.
Richard: There you go. It's been long since being in court. Yes. Good. I can do it. Good.
Georgia: This is the highest profile case we've ever had. Media will be in the room. Richard is going to stand up and argue points of law?
