"He looked me right in the eyes, and he dropped in on me." "I called him out." "What?" "Yeah, it's like being new in prison." "Sometimes you just got to stand up to the bully." "Instead of prison, it's Malibu." "Relax." "You get plenty of waves." "I don't care how long he's been surfing here." "He doesn't own the point." "All right, look, you know I got your back, right?" "When's the last time you hit somebody?" "Eddy Walker." "I dropped him." "In fifth grade." "Let me do the talking, okay?" "Not hitting people is why I became a lawyer." "Is there a problem, friend?" "Hey." "We were just discussing why we became lawyers." "What is that, like, a... is that like a threat?" "Not unless you're afraid of being bored to death." "I'm Jared Franklin." "This is Peter Bash." "He's a little excitable, but ultimately, he's a great guy." "He's from the valley, so he's compensating." "You dropped in on me." "Yeah, I'm sorry about that." "I, uh..." "I guess I didn't see you." "There we go." "So you guys are lawyers?" "So, it's your cousin Johnny, the commercial fisherman... he needs the lawyer." "Yeah, yeah." "See, uh, yesterday, he's 12 miles out." "The Ventura County rescue pulls him off his boat." "And they say they, uh, they "saved his life."" "So how can we help?" "Well, they said it was his fault, that he was stupid for being out in such bad weather." "And then when they get him ashore, they charge him 25 grand for the rescue." "I mean," "Johnny works on tight margins." "That's gonna put him out of business, but they don't care." "You know, they're gonna sue him for it." "Look, Geno, we would love to help your cousin, but we charge by the hour." "We're pretty expensive." "We wouldn't be able to give him the, uh, the face-to-face interaction that's crucial with your lawyer." "You know, it wouldn't be fair to him." "Right, right." "Hmm." "I mean, you guys, uh, you guys like to surf here, right?" "'Cause this is... this is one of the best point breaks in all of Southern California." " Amen." " Yep." "Well, then there's no problem." "You see, you can give me the face-to-face interaction you're talking about here in the lineup." "And then I'll just report back to Johnny." "Well, don't you have, like, a job or something?" "I have a government job..." "Fish and Wildlife." "Now, true, it's not gonna get me rich, but there is not a morning session that I miss." "Mnh-mnh." "And if I do, well, see, you literally couldn't surf here without running into a friend of mine." "So, I don't know about you guys, but, I mean, I think this is gonna work out just great." "Yeah." "Great." "Yep."

"Johnny?" "Hey." "You're the surfing lawyers Geno called me about?" "[Chuckling] Yeah." "That's us." " Got a minute?" " If you help me unload." "What?" "Okay." "I got to get back out." "You're going out in that thing?" "We surfed this morning." "The swell's pretty solid." "I like it bumpy." "Makes some people seasick." "Makes me feel good." "And I got to find Carly Rose." "My boat." "Still floating, I hope." "Well, at least you were rescued." ""Rescued"?" "Yeah, that's, uh, that's one way of putting it." "What's another?" "Screwed." "I'm out there fishing, doing my job, and some clown in an orange vest drops out of a chopper and says it's not safe out here, my boat's too small." "Orders me off it." "My boat blows off to God knows where, but I'm the reckless one that owes 25 grand for the rescue." "So, you're saying you didn't need the help?" "No, there was a little whitewater on the decks, but I was head-up." "I was fine." "Why'd they go to you?" "Some freighter on the way to China thought I was in trouble, which I might have been if I was dragging nets, but I don't." "I only fish with poles." "Pole-caught tuna." "Uh-huh." "Saw it on a menu." "Better fish with poles." "Better for the ocean, too." "Other boats don't care about that, but if we don't take care of the sea, it won't take care of us." " Johnny, we're gonna help you." " Yeah." "We don't think you should have to pay that fine." "We're gonna take your case." "Payment." "Oh, God." "Dude!" "Why didn't you get that?" "Why didn't you get..." " I thought you were gonna get that." " That was yours." "You said, "I got it." He threw it at you." "Johnny, you threw it at him, right?" "Look, guys, I really appreciate the help." "I got to get back out." "All right, good luck."

"You know who else is gonna be a Wolverine?" "Ew." "No." "Why?" "!" "Because I pick the cases we handle." "That's not a good reason." "That's like "because I said so."" "An excellent reason." "If he can't pay for his fine, how's he gonna pay us?" "Tuna." "Loaded with essential omega-3s, great for the skin, the hair." "Not for our bank account."

"A win in my psychic case could set precedent, help the firm's reputation." "What can your case do?" "Uh..." "let's find out." "Yeah."

"Rachel:" "Tell you what... if my case raises the firm's profile more than yours, you two are in your offices by 8:00 A.M." "Every day for 6 months."

"Pierce:" "Your Honor, Ms. Morano has no basis for bringing a wrongful termination suit." "Capstone financial fired her for her erratic, volatile behavior." "Your Honor, it's our contention that those allegations were cooked up to hide the real reason that Juliette was fired." "She has a psychic gift." " Elaborate." " When she touches someone, she can get visions about what they're thinking or even what's gonna happen to them." "Now, she never used it at work, but a psychic doesn't really fit" "Capstone's straight-laced image." "That's not true, and, more importantly, even if it was, California is an at-will state." "People can be fired for any reason." "Not religious persecution." "Continue." "Ms. Morano's psychic powers are part of a belief system passed down from her grandmother." "It has rituals, ceremonies, iconic totems." "And these are all the hallmarks of religious observation." "Federal law is very clear." "You can't be fired for your religion." "Amen to that." "See you at trial." "[Gavel bangs]" "Good job." "Ventura County is claiming Johnny should pay for the rescue because he was "grossly negligent"" "going out into such rough seas."

"Um, our new couch... where did you guys purchase it?" "Couch Hut?" "Couch Nook?" "Uh, Couch Pouch?" "Somewhere in the couch district, I think." "You stole Rob Lowe's couch." " What?" " What?" "No, we didn't." "Peter and I picked it up on the sidewalk." "Curb side law 101, Pindy." "Indoor furniture found outside is deemed abandonned and free to take." "Peter, I am an actual lawyer, okay?" "And Rob just tweeted that his couch was just drying out." "The question is, why was it being washed?" "God knows what perversions this couch has witnessed." "My God." "It's pristine." "You follow Rob Lowe on Twitter?" "[Chuckles]" "Ooh." "We're keeping the couch." " That's what we thought." " Good plan." "Hi, boys." "So, I suppose you heard about my conversion at Vic Falls." "Yes, sir." "And we saw the play." "Well, I made a commitment that day, and I'm gonna keep to it." "So I've started the Infeld foundation."

"I'm more comfortable in St. Barts." "But I work here." "I'll take your findings tomorrow." "[Cellphone buzzes]" "Juliette's been arrested." "I was returning my key card to Capstone, and I ran into my boss, Bryan Easton, in the parking garage." "We shook hands, and... it happened." "What?" "One of my... visions." "He was yelling at me, had me pinned up against the car like he was gonna hit me." "What did you do?" "I pepper-sprayed him in the face." "So, you shook hands with a former co-worker and then pepper-sprayed him in the face." "Awesome." "Could you just give us one second?" "Uh... if Bryan testifies that she peppered him, it is gonna cinch their claim that her behavior is just unpredictable." "Unless we don't let them frame it as an assault." "We say it was something else." "Bad manners?" "You went to law school, right?" "Man: ...distressed vessel is at about 33.25 North... 119.25 west." "Man:" "I got eyes on." "Winds steady at 30 knots, gusts to 50." "I'm gonna pluck this guy." "Captain Masters, that is you from your helicopter describing the sea that day?" " It is." " In your expert opinion, was the captain of this vessel grossly negligent going out in such conditions?" "Yes, ma'am." "Where's Johnny?" "I told him 9:30." "Oh." "Nice entrance." "He's like Quint from "Jaws."" "[Chuckling] Yeah." ""For that, you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."" ""The shark's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a dog's eyes."" ""When he comes at you, doesn't seem to be living."" "Gentlemen, this is the part of our show where you cross-examine." "Yeah." "[Clears throat]" "Why do you smell like beer?" "I didn't want to smell like rum." "I hate being this far from the ocean." "In those weather conditions, the inner ear is sending out wildly contradicting signals to the brain." "The motion sickness is intense." "Forget a small vessel's integrity." "A person's far too debilitated to even safely operate one." "And you know this because as a former naval aviator, you've trained in motion sickness?" "Extensively." "Ever trained in a motion simulator?" "Of course... from... pitch-and-roll platforms to multilevel gyroscopes," " I've pretty much done them all." " Wow." "[Exhales sharply]" "You want to train in one again?" "See how long you can go before becoming debilitated?" "Objection." " Badgering the witness." " How is that badgering the witness?" "All right, fine." "He can go second." "Your Honor, we'd like to call our client to the stand to do a demonstration using our own motion-sickness system that simulates the conditions on rough seas." "Relevance, Your Honor?" "Our client is accused of being grossly negligent for going out that day based on Captain Masters' understanding of a person's ability to withstand motion sickness." "But as our demonstration will prove, our client can handle far more than the average person... dare I say, even more than a seasoned pilot like Captain Masters." "I'll play." "Fine." "Okay." "Place your bets, people." "Let's do this." "As you will see, this device can provide quite a disorienting ride." "I got pretty woozy after 48 seconds." "45." " It was 48." "It was 48 seconds." " 45." "It was 45 seconds." "You started the timer late." "He started the timer late." " I can show you." "I can show..." " [Gavel bangs]" "Hey, Heckle and Jeckle." "Yes, Your Honor." "Ready?" "Yep." "All right." "[Whistling]" "This could go on for quite a while." "We might want to consider ordering lunch in." "[Gags]" "Yeah, uh, we might want to hold the lunch." "Yeah, we should." "Three feet higher, he would have strafed the judge." "It was just our lucky day." "Guy at the docks said they found the Carly Rose." "That's great." "Not necessarily." "The guys that found her can claim ownership now." "Maritime salvage laws." "I got to call the boat that found her." "Maybe I can talk them into giving her to me." "Call them from here." "We can help negotiate." "Fishermen don't use phones at sea, just vhf radio." "Hold on." "A boat radioed Ventura County" " to give your location that day, right?" " Yeah." "So, they make a distress call and then disappear?" " That's not weird?" " Not really." "Once those freighters start screwing for China, they don't stop." "Man: ..." "Distressed vessel is at about 33.25 North...  119.25 West." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Stop." "Play that part again." "Man: ...distressed vessel is at about 33.25 North... 119.25 West." "Engine hum." " What about it?" " I don't hear any." "So, you're saying that call wasn't made from a boat?" "But they knew you were out there." "Who could have done that?" "High Line fishing." "They saw me heading out into the channel." "I told them where I was headed." "They made the rescue call." "They knew this might happen to me!" "Wait, wait." "J..." "J..." "Johnny?" "Johnny!" "Stop him." "Johnny!" "What's High Line?" "And why would they want to sabotage you?" "They're competitors." "And I make noise about the crappy way they catch fish." "They'd love me to go away." "Okay, well, if we could prove that they maliciously made the call, they'll be on the hook for the rescue charges." "What about my boat?" "One step at a time." "Let us talk to High Line, and we'll see what we're facing first." " Okay." " Okay." " Thanks, guys." " Yeah." "We'll call High Line." "Hey." "Is that Rachel's magic 8 ball?" "Signs point to yes." "Hottest psychic character?" "Jean Grey, the redhead from "X-Men."" "Carrie." "Telekinesis." "She could move things." "Yeah, she could." "Ms. Morano." "Hi." "Jared Franklin." "I'm a colleague of Miss King's." " Hello." " So..." "Do you see a blond doctor in my future?" "I see a..." "Stop." "I don't want to know." "That's not natural." "She can see my death." " What is wrong with you?" " Juliette." "Will you wait for me in my office, please?" " I'll be right there." " Sure." "Excuse me." "Nice meeting you." "But you knew that." "Judge Wells overrode California employment law and fish-man puked in Judge Reid's court?" "Yep." "So you better pick up the pace 'cause we are waxing your..." " I'm your boss." " That's true." "I thought we were just having fun." "Sorry." "Fun is an all-night foam party on Ibiza." "And at sunrise, you realize you never even got the guy's name." "Okay." "We're, uh," " gonna work on the man-on..." " We're gonna go..." " the-boat..." " Yeah." "Not as fun as a foam party, but, you know." "Johnny's always been a bit of a cowboy." "It's a good thing we found that boat." "Good for who?" "Everybody." "It was a hazard to navigation." "If you guys are his lawyers, you should know that." "Yeah, yeah, we knew that." "So, you... you plan on giving that boat back, right?" "Not sure." "We spent a lot of money on fuel towing it in." " We may need to keep it." " [Indistinct radio chatter]" "Look, guys, if you'll excuse me, I'm kind of busy." " Yeah, sure." " Aye-aye, captain." "Thanks." "Copy that, High Line 3." " I'll see you in an hour." " Dude, check it out." "You remember that weird noise on the, uh, on the tape... that chirp." "Clarence... that's, uh, that's a cool name for a parrot." "His full name is Clarence Beaks." "I guess it's from..." ""Trading Places," Paul Gleason." "My John Landis references go deep." "Where is, uh, Clarence Beaks now?" "Home." "Bird flu." " Bird flu?" " We're busy, guys." " Sure." "Thanks." " Thanks." "When Juliette touched you, did she have a psychic vision?" "Yes, she predicted my car accident six weeks before it happened, exactly like she said it would." "She touched my arm and said" "I would find my husband in bed with my contractor." "And she knew his name would be Brad." "All the doctors said I couldn't get pregnant, but when Juliette hugged me, she saw twins." "A year later, I had the boys." "No further questions, Your Honor." "Miss Morano, we've heard some remarkable examples of your ability to touch people and see what they're thinking." "I know it sounds strange." "It's just something I've been able to do since I was a little girl." "Now, what happened when you touched Bryan?" "I saw what he was thinking." "He was going to attack me." "He was gonna attack you in a deserted parking garage, so you didn't just fly off the handle and pepper-spray him." "You were stopping an imminent attack." "Yes." "You were acting in self-defense." "Pierce:" "Objection, Your Honor." "This is ridiculous!" "You can't claim self-defense based on anticipation." "Your Honor, it wasn't anticipation." "Witness testimony proved it was going to happen." "Judge Wells:" "No, that testimony proved she knew it was going to happen to those other people." "For self-defense to stand, Mr. Karp, you need to prove that miss Morano is psychic vis-à-vis Mr. Easton in this court." "Court is adjourned until tomorrow." "[Gavel bangs]" "You want a subpoena for Mr. Beaks?" " Yes." " Yeah." "We believe he can prove that High Line made a fraudulent rescue call to sabotage our client, get him pulled off his boat, charged for the rescue, basically put him out of business." "And then they got greedy, tried to take his boat... big mistake." " Because now they are pirates." " Boom." "Robbers of the high seas." "Pirates?" "Like Errol Flynn." "Not the first name to jump to mind, but yes." "Now, where's Mr. Beaks as we speak?" "In Ron Lee's living room." "In a cage." "A cage?" "Is this a police matter?" "He's a parrot." "Ah." "A parrot." "I like weird cases." "I do." "You want to name these guys as pirates, be my guest!" "But I'm gonna need just a little bit more to subpoena a parrot." "[As pirate] Aye-aye, Your Honor." "What are you talking like that for?" "[Normal voice] It's a pirate thing." "The "arr" and the..." "[As pirate] avast ye..." "I got to go." "It's like a circus every time I talk to them." "Hey." "I'm here for my interview with Mr. Easton." " Name, please?" " Lisa Anne Ball." "Aww." " So cute." " Thanks." "Mine are 3... and 5... and 6." "Yikes. [Chuckles]" "I don't see your name here." "Really?" "That's weird because I was confirmed for 11:00." "Let me see why I don't see your name here." "Hey, uh, are they cool with single moms here?" "My oldest plays soccer, and I would love to make an occasional game." "They don't call it work for nothing." "[Chuckles]" "Oh, my God." "You know what?" "My appointment's actually on Thursday." "I got the date wrong." "This is so embarrassing." "I'm sorry." "Our secret." "Thank you, 'cause I could really use this job." "I'm reliable, and" "I'm not into palm reading." "I don't think that's the real reason she was fired." "Really?" "If we try the first U.S. piracy case in the last two centuries, do you know what that means for our lives?" "Yeah, Rachel loses, and we never miss surfing a glassy morning." "We get to go wenching." ""Wenching"?" "Yeah!" "Wenching's not a word." "You can't make any noun a verb by adding "i-n-g."" " Show me one you can't." " Car." "Show me two you can't." "Elevator, glass," " cabin." " Stop it." "Gentlemen, I... oh." "Sorry." "I thought I heard Peter." "I'm on my way." "He misses his favorite chair." "He visits it." "Uh, gentlemen, I..." "I've just received a rather distressing missive from one of my Malibu neighbors." "Charlie contacted you?" "Oh, Charlie." "Oh." "The comely doctor." "No, no." "Uh, actually, my foundation does need a medical consultant." "Sir, you came in about something else?" "Oh, yes." "Thank you." "Yes." "Mr. Rob Lowe." "He claims you purloined his precious Italian sofa." "Now, I'm sure you boys are aware they do have security cameras in the 'Bu." "No, sir, we thought he was throwing it out." "Actually, he did." "Sir, Peter will return what he stole." "Keep it!" "Or burn it!" "Or strap a skateboard to it and ride it down sunset." "I don't care." "But do not give it back to him!" "Okay." "That little prick... h stole Jackie Bisset from me when he was starring in that movie "Class."" "By the way, a part that he won by poisoning Emilio's chili at the Malibu cook-off the day before his callback." "Sir, if I had a time machine," "I would go back to Malibu in 1980." "It's been war ever since." "Five years ago, he punched my house-guest, the ambassador of Tonga, for walking on his sand!" "So I had his sand sent to his bedroom... by dump truck." "[Laughter]" "Well, so it goes on." "And you guys are still neighbors." "Actually, he's your neighbor now." "So the next time you have one of your epic parties, make sure that your guests park on his lawn." "Yes, sir." "If it's war, you should use every ally." "Huh." "We should be doing the same thing... use every ally." "No." "Fish and Wildlife doesn't handle pet parrots, guys." "You're gonna have to try something else." "I didn't know Fish and Wildlife wardens had the authority to tell us what to do, or do you just think you're in charge where you're not?" "Well, see, now, I think you'd be surprised at Fish and Wildlife authority." "You see, when people get piggy, we can shut down their whole operation." ""Piggy"?" "I was just catching waves." "You were catching every wave." "Okay, all right, big kahuna, gidget." "You guys are both great surfers." "You get tons of ladies." "Can we get back to Johnny?" "What did you mean when you said Fish and Wildlife could shut down their entire operation?" "Well, to discourage undersized catch." "See, you break the rules on one boat, we can inspect it all... warehouses, cars, boats." "Living rooms?" "Damien says you have good news." "We spoke with Allen Pierce." "We were able to talk him into a settlement offer... $50,000." "They want this to go away." "What do you think?" "I think you're afraid we're gonna lose if I have to be psychic in court." "I think accepting it might be our best move." "Mm-hmm." "I could go." "Or stay." "I'll just stay." "You're receiving a crown... but you don't want it." "What are you, like, secret royalty?" "Yes, I'm Princess Khaleesi of House Targaryen." "You really think you can be psychic with Bryan in court?" "Yes." "All right." "We'll give it a shot." "[Rock music plays]" "Geno:" "All right, you want to take the back?" "I'll take the front?" "Yeah." "[Music stops]" "Spot inspection by Fish and Wildlife?" "Yeah, somebody called in an undersized smelt on one of High Line's boats." "That seems like something that should really be investigated." "Right." "Look, we got like three minutes." "Let's go." "All right, well, the only way to know if this is the bird is if we get him to make that noise again." "How?" "You know, we could, uh," " squeeze him." " What do you mean, "squeeze"?" "It's not an accordion." "What the hell's going on here?" "Who are these guys?" "No, no, Wes, it's okay." "These are, uh, friends of mine." "They're surfer buddies." "Yeah, well, they can't be in here, Geno." "Get them out of here." "Yeah." "All right." "Yeah." "[Smooching]" "Ms. Morano, we'd like you to read Mr. Easton's mind." "Mr. Easton, I would like you to think of someone that's very important to you and someone that you've never mentioned to Juliette." "And I'd also like you to think of a number and write the name and the number on that card." "Excellent." "Now, if you could please let Ms. Morano hold your hand." "Juliette:" "The name's not clear." "Henry?" "Henry." "You're thinking of numbers on a document." "I'm gonna say... 12... 30... 2,000." "A birthday?" "Mr. Easton, can you please show us what you wrote?" "Let the record show that the card reads" ""St. Patrick, 317."" "Nothing further." "We don't have Rob Lowe's couch!" "Okay?" "!" "But if we did, we would be willing to offer" "$400. $450." "$500." "It's a $10,000 couch filled with siberian white goose down." "We don't have it." "[Knock on door]" "How was court?" "10-car pileup." "You have something for me?" "[Sighs]" "Bryan Easton." "Seems he took a lot of Juliette's high-net-worth clients out to expensive lunches, dinners." "Greasing them." "He's trying to scoop them all up." "They play hardball in finance." "He was doing it six months ago... secretly... while she was still working there." "That's a big no-no." "Yep." "Dig deeper on Bryan... right now." "It's time-sensitive." "Got it." "And, Carmen, stop at I.T., get yourself a new phone." "I knew you'd be fine at Capstone." "You're talented." "Don't let anybody hold you back." "Living with Franklin and Bash doesn't hold me back." "It does the opposite." "If you say so." "I thought I told you that I wasn't going to subpoena a parrot without precedent." "The State v. Sabin." "Los Angeles superior court, 1958." "The case of the perjured parrot." "Oh!" "You're going to use an episode of "Perry Mason" as precedent." "It was the golden age of television, Your Honor." "Your Honor, we are..." " desperate." " Very." "But our client's livelihood has been destroyed." "We're not just talking about a fine." "We're talking about his way of life." "He's constantly under siege from fishing conglomerates and regulations and gas prices, and he's out there every day, fishing for us, catching the fish that we eat." "And he does it in a way that protects our oceans." "And he thinks outside the box, protecting our future, so can't we do the same for him?" "Well..." "Oh, look, Buddy Hackett's on "Johnny Carson" tonight." "[Laughs]" "I've got this." "Mr. Easton, what kind of clients do people in your profession really want?" "I guess that would be high-net-worth individuals." ""High-net-worth individuals."" "I believe you call them "hin-wees" in your line of work." "Sometimes." "Yes." "Hin-wee." "Sounds a lot like Henry." "I'd like to enter" "Ms. Morano's Capstone client list as exhibit 4." "Can you read for the court the total assets of Juliette's hin-wees?" "$123,020,000." "A number that, when written out, corresponds to December 30, 2000, the date that Juliette saw when she read your mind." "Weren't you thinking about Juliette's hin-wees in yesterday's demonstration?" "No." "Weren't you willing to do whatever it took to get those clients, even start vicious rumors that got her fired?" "Objection." "What is she going to accuse him of next... murder?" "Close." "Assault." "Juliette saw Mr. Easton so angry at her for not relinquishing her client list, he was about to assault her." "That's enough, Ms. King!" "Continue this line of questioning, and I'll hold you in contempt." "You served on the hiring committee for the last two years." "I did." "Ever hire any applicants from your Alma Mater, Yale?" "A few, but we also have executives from Harvard, Stanford... everywhere." "Well, not everywhere." "Have you ever hired an executive from Mt." "Wood Community College?" "No." "Of course not." "Capstone would never hire a graduate from such a low-profile two-year school, would they?" "Objection." "Relevance." "I think Bryan knows the relevance, but I'll move on." "Did you orchestrate Ms. Morano's dismissal in the hopes of getting her clients?" "Maybe." "Yes." "No further questions, Your Honor." "Okay." "Let's take a little recess to lick our wounds, shall we?" "I never told you Bryan went to community college." "I know." "My new investigator did." "Your vision about Bryan was right." "You are a psychic." "But you need a great lawyer, too." "Lawyers." "Janice, do you remember anything about the day our client was pulled from his boat?" "No." "Do you know what the punishment is for aiding and abetting pirates?" "You get gibbeted... which is they hang you in an iron cage until you "star-r-r-r-ve" to death." "Objection." "Relevance." "Sustained." "Did High Line steal my client's boat, like pirates?" "No." "We salvaged it." "But it's not salvage if you intentionally shipwreck a boat." "In fact, that's how Captain Kidd pillaged the high seas." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Someone placed a fake call from a vhf radio that my client was in trouble so that he would be pulled from his boat, knowing that it may founder." "Man: ...distressed vessel is at about 33.25 North... 119.25 West." "[Click]" "No idea who made that call, where it came from?" "A passing freighter?" "I don't know." "Your Honor, we have a sound expert prepared to testify that the distress call couldn't have come from an ocean-going vessel because there is no background or engine noise." "We'd like to call Clarence Beaks." "Uh, Mr. Franklin, heave to, please." "Look..." "I've already called custodial once this week." "They can be very vindictive." "If that bird craps..." "I will catch it before it hits the ground, Your Honor." "Smooth sailing, there, Popeye." "Aye-aye, cap'n." "Buddy." "Your Honor, I'm all for living out a pirate fantasy, but in court, it doesn't..." "Your Honor, while this is great, this is not my pirate fantasy." "Mr. Franklin, if we're gonna do this..." "Janice, do you recognize this bird?" "It's Mr. Beaks, our parrot." "So he's yours?" "No." "He's Ron Lee's, my boss." "But Ron keeps him in the High Line office" " near the radio?" " Yes." "Does Mr. Beaks here ever talk or sing or... chirp?" "No." "But he's a parrot." "They sing and talk." "I've seen them on YouTube and cartoons." "Maybe the good ones." "Not ours." "He's never said a peep." "I think he's damaged." "Maybe if you held him, that would help." " No, that's okay." " Are you sure?" "Yes." "Why not?" "Maybe it's a self-esteem thing." "If you hold him, he'll sing like a canary or a parrot." "[Sneezes]" " Gesundheit." " Thank you." "You're allergic to Mr. Beaks, aren't you?" "I recognized the anti-dander spray in your office." "[Sneezes]" "Bless you." "The sound on the call is your sneeze because the call came from High Line's offices, and you were there when the call was made." " Isn't that right, Janice?" " [Sneezes]" "I'll take that as a yes." "So the question becomes, why did you feel the need to lie about it?" "Was it because you placed the call maliciously, knowing it would destroy Johnny's business?" "[Sneezes]" "Take that as a yes, too." "No more questions, Your Honor." "[Sighs] Great." "[Squawks] [As parrot] We rest." "[Sighs]" "Of course, Capstone wants you back." "You can probably have Bryan's job." "He won't be needing it anymore." "Thank you." "And if you and Rachel need anything, please let me know." "Oh, that's very kind." "It's not really my thing, but thank you." "I was talking about investment advice." "Oh, well..." "Would you like me to try a reading?" "I..." "I'm notoriously difficult to read." "I..." "I have very thick skin." "Plus a half-inch of man makeup." "[Scoffs] Disregard them." "Oh." "I didn't get anything." "Come on." "Give it to him straight, doc." "He can take it." "Oh, please." "I have nothing to hide." "I saw you in jail." "[Both laugh]" " Bingo." " Boom." "All right." "Very amusing." "But, gentlemen, I suggest you get some rest because 8:00 A.M. comes very early." "Good day." "Our win set precedent on protected classes." "I've been invited to speak in front of the state bar association." "But we won a piracy trial." "That's better?" " Is she joking?" " It must be a generation thing." "This is the first U.S. piracy case since the 1800s." "We made the "Weird News" Huffington Post." "Yeah, and we're... we're, uh, trending on Twitter." "We're trying to get the best associates" " in a month, right?" " Yeah." "Whose case do you think is gonna turn them on more?" "The one where they get to speak in front of the state bar?" "I'm not turned on." "Or the one they win with a parrot on their shoulder?" "Whoa, that is sexy!" "You said, "whichever case benefits the firm's reputation."" "I didn't say "to recent graduates."" "You didn't not say "to recent graduates."" ""Didn't not say to," really?" "It's not my best work." "I'm not proud." "Guys, it's gonna be offshore tomorrow morning." "Surf should be good." "Enjoy." "[Sighs]" "[Rock music plays]" "Come on, Johnny, paddle out with us." "Yeah, take a break." "High Line has to pay the fine." "You got your boat back." "I got to repair lines, rig poles... no break for me." "You guys have fun." " All right." "All right." " Hey, guys, hold up." "Hold up." " What is that?" " What?" "What are you doing?" "Stretching my iliotibial band." " Your what?" " My I.T. band." "You learn that in the Valley?" "I still don't like that guy." "Yeah." " He's a better surfer than you." " What?" "Come on." "It's okay." "You're a better lawyer than him." "Guys, the couch is gone!" "The front door was wide open!" "It's gone!" "Rob Lowe." ""St. Elmo's Revenge."" "Let's go surfing." "That's it?" "He's really that better of a surfer than me?" "He's a much better surfer than you." "Come on."
