"'In New York City's war on crime, 'the worst criminal offenders are pursued 'by the detectives of the Major Case Squad." "'These are their stories.'" "For years he went to the gym at 7 pm." " Then he started going in the morning." " It's no problem." " Hello, Jack!" " Do you have to do that?" "Relax." "That's me." "I'll be right back." "Yes?" "I was just thinking about you." "You're welcome." "I remembered you like tulips so I..." "Yes." "Yes, that'll be fine." "It's Part 42." "Judge Ross." "I'll see you there." " 'Do you have to do that?" "' - 'Relax.'" "Mr Keefer waited till she reached a deserted part of 2nd Avenue before striking her." "He then ran into the subway and got rid of his coat and hat." "When stopped by the police, he gave a false name and address." "What did you conclude from this behaviour?" "He attacked her not because of some delusion but because she rejected his advances." "In those respects, he does not meet the criteria for a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect." " Thank you, Doctor." " Thank you, Mr Carver." "Before cross-examination of the expert witness, the court calls a 15-minute recess." "Your being there meant a lot to me." "I know it was a rush." "Don't worry." "I'll take care of that traffic ticket." "Thank you." "That's very sweet of you." "About Saturday, if you can't..." "No, no." "I've cleared my schedule." "Thank you." "She really needs to talk to someone." "Here." " No, thanks." "Thank you." " Hmm?" "I have to drive home." "Sara, listen, as part of my per diem, the DA got me a suite here." "We could finish this bottle up there." "That's a very tempting offer." "Please, say yes." "It's too soon, Charles." "I hope you understand." "Sure." "Sure." "Everything in good time." "Thank you so much for coming on this very special day for Ricky." "Erm, so much has happened these last few months, but Richard has acted like a man, and I am very, very proud of him." "Seeing him grow up like this," "I wish his sister Sophie would stay a little girl forever." "Ah!" "Everybody, this is, er, Lauren." "Hi, honey!" "Thank you and, er, and enjoy yourselves." "How he dares invite that bimbo..." "I'm sorry, Julie." "He just makes me so mad." " Sara!" " Charles." "This is my sister Julie." "And this is Sophie." " This is Dr Webb." " Charlie will do." " And how are you, Sophie?" " Good." " Why don't we all sit over there?" " I don't know." " It can only help." " Sara." "Whenever you're ready." "She's ready now." "Come on." "Er, have you seen Sophie?" "She's fine." " Who's that with her?" " A friend of mine." "Excuse me." "Sophie, could you come with Daddy?" " Dr Larry Feldman." " Dr Charles Webb." "Oh?" "What specialty?" "Psychiatry." "I warned you." "I'm so sorry." "Lisa Goldman is hot." "When you slow dance with her, she rubs against you." "It's weird." "Dude, you don't like that?"

" Come on!" "Come with me." "The deceased is a Dr Larry Feldman." " It was his kid's Bar Mitzvah." " Nice." " Anybody see him go into the can?" " No." "Nobody heard a shot." " The rest of the place was open?" " Yeah." "For lunch." " We took down everybody's name." " Good work." "I need credit card receipts from the restaurant, plus a list of employees, thanks."

"Four months next week." "Dr Feldman's divorced?" "He's separated." "They're still working it out." "The divorce, I mean." " How's that been going?" " Not good." "His ex-wife was here." "I guess she took the kids home." "This is so awful!" "He was so..." "What was Dr Feldman drinking at the reception?" "Red wine." "He only ever drank red wine." "These people, these animals, they just left him there for Ricky to see!" "Victim Services has grief counsellors for your kids." "I'll give you the number." "We need to..." "talk to you about your divorce." "Sophie, sweetie, you go sit with Auntie Sara." "OK?" "Come here, sweetie." "Were there any outstanding issues between you and Dr Feldman?" " Alimony?" "Division of property?" " No, that was settled." "Custody?" "We were working that out." "Larry was very possessive of our children." " It'll be tough for them without their father." " It's a horrible thing to do to them." "I guess the custody issue's been worked out." " Do you like it?" " Yes." "Especially if it's by the artist I think it is." " Is this a Judas Ullulaq?" " Yes." "From 1986." "He died a couple of years ago." "His pieces are hard to find." "How soon can you deliver it?" "Really?" "Thursday next week, if that's fine with you." "The address is 247 East 54th." " Charles, no, I can't accept this." " It's obvious how much you like it." "It's too generous." "I really can't." "All right." "Make the delivery to 741 Park Avenue, Apartment 8D." "This way you can enjoy it any time you come over." "What's wrong?" "Sara, you've been preoccupied all afternoon." "What's the matter?" "When I came home last night there were 14 calls from you on the machine." " I was concerned." " I said I was going out with Julie." "I forgot." "That's what happens when you're involved with an older man." " Are we involved?" " I thought so." "I really do enjoy our time together." "Let's just see where it goes." ""Victim was in a humiliation posture when shot."" " What's that about?" " Perp wanted to humiliate him." ""Odour of gin present." "Possibility perp consumed gin or martini."" "Shaken or stirred?" "Waiters are working with the sketch artist." "Restaurant served 92 lunches for the Bar Mitzvah." "Our officers counted 78 guests when they got there." "14 people skipped." "73 names?" "Great." "We're going backwards." "Do you have a master list?" "Erm... 112 people were invited." "103 said they were coming." "These are the money gifts?" "Yes." "I didn't know what to do with it all, so I brought it back here." "Silvia and Adam Bornstein?" "Dr and Mrs Lawrence Chen." "A grand in C notes." "No card, just..." ""Tommy L" on the envelope." " He's not on the list." " It's probably Mr Lucci." "He was a patient of Dr Feldman's." " When?" " Last year." "Quadruple bypass." "Right." "Tommy "Thumbs" Lucci." "Heart attack from too much cannoli." "The Bonannos threw him a retirement party." " He and Dr Feldman close?" " Mr Lucci was very thankful." "The operation saved his life." " How'd Lucci show his appreciation?" " I'm not sure." "I heard Dr Feldman talking to him on the phone about his divorce." "I think Mr Lucci was helping him." "Feldman versus Feldman custody hearing transcripts." "Thanks." "Help yourself." "Getting anywhere?" "Er...alimony orders." "Feldman was pulling $700,000 a year." "The judge awarded Mrs Feldman $1,000 a month." "Out of $5m and community assets, Mrs Feldman gets $300,000." "Who is this judge?" "The Honourable OJ?" "Edwin Rankin." "Rankin?" "I have Lucci's pedigree here." " Lucci's lawyer, Harold Rankin." " You think they're related?" "Divorce judge." "The gift that keeps on giving." "That's how Lucci was "helping" Feldman with his divorce." "There's one more thing." "Three weeks ago Rankin issued a gag order." "Who is the order binding on?" "Dr and Mrs Feldman, their lawyers, the immediate families... and St Matthew's Hospital." "I can't talk about it." "The hospital lawyers say I could get sued." "We understand about lawyers." " You're a paediatric nurse, right?" " Yes." "So the gag order is about a child." "One of the Feldman kids?" "Please!" "We don't want you to say anything you're not comfortable with." "Who did the lawyers say could sue you?" " Dr Feldman." " Well, don't worry." "He's dead." "Which of the kids was it?" "The little girl?" "Her mother brought her in." "She was listless and said she had pain in her groin." "She'd just come back from visiting her father." "Mrs Feldman accused her husband of abusing her." " Were you at the examination?" " At the start." "I was called away." "But from what I saw, her genital area was red and inflamed." "Well, I'd kill him." "The District Attorney had the gag order lifted." "Now we want to hear what happened from you." "Sophie had spent the night at Larry's, and when I went to pick her up..." "she was groggy." "She could...barely walk to the car." "On the way home she said her...privates hurt." "I checked." "Something was definitely wrong." "I asked her what happened." "She said it was Daddy." "I went right to the hospital." "Did they say she'd been molested?" "They didn't say anything." "A case worker... from the Children's Protective Services said he was going to interview Larry, but all of a sudden Judge Rankin imposed a gag order." "Stopped the investigation in its tracks." "Custody visits continued?" "We couldn't stop it." "I checked Sophie every time she came back from Larry's." " It didn't happen again." " You couldn't be sure it wouldn't." "No." "You were terrified and angry you couldn't protect her." "You thought all kinds of crazy things." "Anyone in your situation would." "If you did something to protect your little girl, anyone could understand that." "Julie, I'm just a divorce attorney." "I don't have a lot experience in criminal matters, but I advise you not to answer any questions." "She's free to leave, right?" "If that's what she wants to do." "Let's go, Julie." " New car?" " Yes." "Fives, tens, twenties..." "Been saving up from your paper route?" "Ben Franklin's on the $100 bill." "I can't stand him." "He had no respect for women." "He used them." "Did you know that?" "Right." " How much is in here?" " $23,000." "We said 50." "Where's the rest?" "I want you to do something else for me." "Are you nuts?" "They're bothering my girlfriend's sister." "These are very bad people." "Yeah, they're bad." "They're New York City detectives." "Forget it." "I'm not doing this." "I knew it." "They got to you." "You're working for them." "You're carrying a listening device." "Is that it on your wrist?" "This is a $15 watch." "You better have the rest of my money by the end of the week or I'll give you something real to worry about." "My interview with the child confirmed in my mind it was abuse." "Feldman denied it, and because of the the gag order I couldn't follow it up." "Mrs Feldman was very angry, but what could I do?" " Did she make threats against him?" " No." " Did any of her family contact you?" " No." " Did you talk to the DA's office?" " No." "It was too early for that." " What about Special Victims?" " Not in Manhattan." "But I got a request for a copy of my file from the Westchester Police." "They wanted to do their own investigation." "Why the Westchester Police?" "Dr Feldman had a country home up there." "Well, not according to our files, he doesn't." "I never got a report about him and I never requested one." "Here's the request, Lieutenant." "Yes, that's our stationery, but the requesting officer, Detective Petrecca?" "No such person." "The report was faxed to this number." "That's not our fax number." "It's the Narcotics Squad." "They don't have a Detective Petrecca, either." "I ran comparisons between the slug from Feldman's skull and every gun found by Westchester Police in the last three years." "Your gut did not fail you." " Actually, it was her idea." " Sorry." "I found one weapon that's a match." "A .32-calibre" "Rossi 88 with a silencer." "Recovered in a drug bust in White Plains." "The weapon was checked into the Westchester Police property room where it sat for three weeks until someone noticed it was missing." "A cop." "Good thing to know our hit man has a day job." "Westchester will look into it." "Don't expect too much." "Yes." "You checked under the maiden name, too?" "OK, thanks." "I haven't turned up any member of Mrs Feldman's family in law enforcement." "Her parents are retired, living in Saratoga." "I got a trace out on his wife's family." "I'm looking at DMV records." "Julie's sister Sara Lindstrom had a traffic ticket dismissed two weeks ago." "No court appearance." "No hearing." "Someone just double-clicked on delete." "I'm not following you." "You're from the Major Case Squad and you're asking me about a traffic violation?" "If you've run out of things to do, I've got a few unsolved homicides." " Done any other favours for Sara?" " Other favours?" "Like helping her hire a cop to kill her brother-in-law." "Larry Feldman." "OK." "First of all, I don't know Sara Lindstrom." "The ticket, that was a favour to her boyfriend." "Who is...?" "Webb." "Dr Charles Webb." "The forensic shrink?" "Yes." "He does a lot of work for the DA's office." "And the Police Benevolent Association." "Over seven years Webb's done fitness-for-duty evaluations on five cops in Westchester, two of them in narcotics." " I don't see anybody here." " Try this one." "Er...this guy." "I think he was in the bar." "Can you remember what he was drinking?" "Gin and tonic." "OK." "Thank you." "We'll be in touch." ""Officer Michael Stovic." ""Westchester PD." "Narcotics."" ""11-year veteran." "Four years narcotics." ""Last year Stovic was suspended pending an excessive-force investigation."" "The suspension's about to get permanent." "Not with this evidence." "Gin or no gin, that ID is iffy." "His link to Webb doesn't necessarily mean what you want it to." " Coincidence?" " He's a cop, like us." "So till I see different, yeah, it's a coincidence." "I love everything about this job except that buddy-boy system." "What?" "Did I say something?" "Er, let's go find Officer Stovic." "They're delivering it tomorrow." "I thought this'd be a good spot for it." "It'll work here." "You have so many books!" "I hardly have any time to read any more." "I make time for my passions." "Instead of going out, we could fix something here." "I'm a pretty good cook." "Make a fire..." "I really would prefer if we just went out." "I just..." "I don't feel ready yet." "Listen, we've been seeing each other now for a couple of months." "Ever since my divorce, I lost hope of meeting someone." "I feel we have a strong connection." "A connection based on respect and trust." "Yes, I think that's true." "I just..." "I don't feel ready yet." "I understand." "You've had a lot on your mind." " Yeah." " Larry's murder, the children..." "Thank God Sophie's safe now." "When you found out what Larry had done to Sophie, did you think of doing something if you had the chance?" "Yes." "I admit I had that thought." "Well, I did something." "I had Larry killed." " What?" " I paid somebody to kill him." "All the pain he caused to your niece and no one to stop him." "But I did." " You're serious?" " Of course I'm ser..." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "I thought you'd be grateful." "You said he should be stopped." "Grateful?" "What were you thinking?" "He was a monster, Sara." "Isn't that what you wanted?" "Er..." "I have to go home." "I'm sorry." "You can't go!" "I did it for you!" "Charles, don't." "For God's sake, I saved your niece!" "It's all you've ever talked about." "You can't deny me." "Charles, if you don't get out my way..." "Sara, if you do anything foolish, like tell anybody..." "You know what I'm capable of now." " Beer." "Whatever you have on tap." " Coming up." "I'm Nina." "Are you Mike?" "Dr Webb told you about me, didn't he?" "He said I'd find you here." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh, I'm sorry!" "My mistake." "Wait up." "Let's go to my car." "So, why would Webb talk to me about you?" "Did he or didn't he?" "I haven't heard from him since my suspension." " You a cop?" " Yeah." " Got a job problem?" " Turn on the engine." "I got a problem about being recorded." "My dirtbag ex-husband's messing with my little girl." "She's eight." "My ex is a cop." "He threatened my lawyer, who won't return my calls." "I tried talking to the brass and it's the old buddy-boy system." "It's got nothing to do with me." "Webb said you were a good guy, that you've done this before." "I got money." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "I don't know what Webb told you, but you can't listen to that guy." "I can't help you." "You just better get out of here now." "Mike, please..." "Just look." " This is my little girl Mandie." " Don't show me that!" "Just get out, will you, already?" "You guys are all the same." "Big damn heroes!" "Doc, listen to me and listen good, you son of a bitch." "Keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it for you." "You know what I'm talking about." "I don't need you drumming up business for me!" "Understand?" "God!" "Stupid...mother..." "Freeze, Stovic!" "You're under arrest." "'Keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it for you.'" " 'What are you talking about?" "' - 'You know what I'm talking about!" "'" "'I don't need you drumming up business for me.'" "That stuff about engine noise and radios, it's not true." "Infer what you will from that tape." "It doesn't prove a thing." "It's the icing on everything else." "The eyewitness, the missing gun." "The only bright spot I can see, Mike..." "is your motive." "It wasn't about the money." "It was the abuse." "That's why you got a copy of the report, to make sure it was true." "Because you have a history with that in your own childhood." "Came up on your..." "fitness-for-duty evaluation." "Webb knew that." "I think your lawyer can make a good argument to the DA that Webb psychologically manipulated you into doing this killing." "I really do, Mike." "I want a signed plea agreement from the DA." "Then he'll talk." "First off, he was sane at the time of the crime." "File a motion to medicate him for trial." "His competence is marginal." "Right now he's not presentable to a jury." " Dr Charles Webb?" " Yes." " You're under arrest." " Arrest?" "For murder." "Put your hands behind your back." "People versus Charles Anthony Webb." "Murder in the first degree." "Conspiracy in the first." " Plea, Mr Webb?" " Dr Webb." "Pursuant to CPL 250-10, my client serves notice of intent to plead not guilty" " by reason of mental disease." " Noted into the record." "The People demand the opportunity to examine the defendant" " at such time as you will provide." " Parties will be notified." " People on bail?" " People ask for remand." "To a suitable psychiatric facility, Your Honour." " We have no objection." " So ordered." "Next case." "Docket number 143..." " Insanity defence." " Well, he would know." "..assault with a deadly weapon." " How do you plead?" " Not guilty, Your Honour." "He asked me to fix his girlfriend's ticket." "He was ranting that she was being persecuted by the police." "I'd never seen him like this." "He's one of our most reliable experts." "To hear him spouting paranoid fantasies was disturbing." "Thank you, Mr Stillman." "I also have affidavits from Dr Webb's colleagues testifying to his behaviour over the last month." "Paranoia, delusional statements, and there's this conversation between my client and Michael Stovic recorded a week before the murder." "'I planned to kill him myself." "'For years he went to the gym at 7 pm." "'Then he started going in the morning.'" "'It's no problem.'" " Who recorded this?" " My client." "He was worried Mr Stovic might cheat him out of his money." "This conversation took place at Fortelli's." "Down the block?" "Wasn't he worried he'd be recognised?" "That's the point." "He made no effort to be secretive." "He kept tapes of incriminating conversations." "He had no idea what he was doing was wrong." "He's suffering from an acute psychotic break caused by stress, the terrible cases he deals with." "Yet during this time he's testified as an expert witness at three trials." "This psychosis comes and goes at the doctor's convenience." "Dr Webb's behaviour is consistent with a psychiatric defence." "Could somebody tell him to him stop looking at me?" "It's intolerable." "Has this room been swept for bugs?" "Judge, be careful." " The party can see everything." " I'll keep that in mind, Dr Webb." "These affidavits and Mr Cziller's argument seem credible to me." "I have to be frank, if Dr Webb chooses a bench trial, he'll get a friendly hearing." "It is hardly appropriate for you..." "It is appropriate for me to suggest that you work out a plea agreement." "Consider it fair warning." "He pretended to be crazy to lay the basis for an insanity defence in case he got caught." "He's gonna get away with it." "Sympathetic motive and defendant." "Unsympathetic victim." "Best of all possible worlds." "How do we trip this guy up?" "He claims he has delusional disorder, persecutory type." "He's followed the diagnostic boilerplate to a T." "He hit all the right notes." "Except...he's paranoid about surveillance but he meets a cop in a restaurant, a public place." "He hit a false note?" "It's borderline." "Look for other behaviour that doesn't fit." " Such as?" " Suicide talk, overspending." "Taking on too many projects." "And if there aren't any false notes?" "Don't worry." "Even Elvis sang out of tune." "I can only imagine what you think of me, Sara." "But you have to believe I had the best intentions." "Your family's pain was unbearable." "Charles, don't." "Whatever you do, don't lie to me." "You made it clear to me that night why you did this." "Your lawyer asked me to testify on your behalf." "I agreed." " I wouldn't expect less from you." " I'm doing it for Sophie." "Don't you feel anything for me?" "I'm a patient man, Sara." "But you already know that." "He never bought from us before." "I don't remember ever seeing him." "I didn't get the impression he knew about Inuit art." "We found an $18,000 charge on his credit card." " For one sculpture?" " Yes." " That what beginners usually spend?" " They're usually more modest." "I think it was to impress his girlfriend." " Why did you think that?" " She liked it." "She knew the artist." " He tried to buy it for her." " Tried to?" "First, he wanted me to deliver it to her address." "She said she couldn't accept." "She was embarrassed." "He had me deliver it to his place instead." "Er, did they strike you as a...couple?" "He seemed pretty eager, but as far as I could tell, they could've been on their first date." "The doorman at Webb's building's only seen Sara once." "Her doorman says Webb's been there only a few times." "Never overnight." "He stopped by a lot when she wasn't home." "He sent her flowers every week." "His LUDs say he called 20 times a day, mostly talking to her machine." " The guy was pressing hard." " But he couldn't close the deal." "He's never intimate with her but he hires a hit to save her niece?" "Something else doesn't make sense." "Your girlfriend's niece is molested, as a psychiatrist, you'd insist she get counselling." " I've seen no evidence of therapy." " Yeah." "Did we get that file from the Children's Services?" "Transcript of the case worker's interview with the girl..." "Eames..." "There's a question..." ""Your mommy said your daddy touched your wee-wee."" ""Is she telling the truth?" Answer, "Yes."" "Question, "When your wee-wee hurt, was that because Daddy touched it?"" "Answer, "Yes."" "The questions suggest the answer." "The case worker tainted the interview." "What could you possibly be looking for?" "It's in the search warrant." "These cabinets are locked." "Would you open them?" "Please?" "Thank you." "We appreciate your cooperation." "Hi, Sophie." "My name's Bobby." "Hi." "You're really good at keeping in the lines." "What's your favourite colour?" " Red." " Red?" "Watch." "Sophie, I'm a policeman." "Is it OK if we...talk about your daddy?" " Daddy went away." " I know." " You miss him?" " Yes." "Sorry." "Do you remember that day that Mommy... took you to the hospital after you visited with Daddy?" "Yes." "Do you remember what you did with Daddy?" "What did you do?" "We went to the zoo." "And I had ice cream." "But I got sick." "How'd you get sick?" "I pooped in my pants." "Daddy said because of the ice cream." "What'd your daddy do?" "He cleaned me down there." " Did he give you any medicine?" " Yes." "Did you tell anyone about being sick?" "Yes." "I told Mommy." "Did you tell anyone else?" "Charlie." "Who's Charlie?" "Auntie Sara's friend." "It's not true." "The hospital didn't imagine what they saw." "What they saw is consistent to what your niece told me." "She had diarrhoea." "Her father gave her a pill to stop it." "The pill had a narcotic effect." "That's why she was groggy." "He cleaned her with an astringent." "That's why her skin was inflamed." " She told the case worker." " Who didn't ask the right questions." "Your niece wasn't molested." "My sister wouldn't make up such an accusation." "She wouldn't lie." "She was being clobbered in court." "She was...desperate." "What your sister did, it's not our concern." "But your niece also told Dr Webb what happened." "He talked to her at the Bar Mitzvah?" " Yes." " He knew the truth." "He didn't care." "He wasn't out to save your niece." "He was after something else." "Wasn't he?" "Miss Lindstrom, we don't blame you for protecting him." "But now you need to tell us what you know." "I'm glad you finally came to your senses." "We never took leave of them, unlike Dr Webb." "I've prepared a proposal." "Commitment at Morgan Psychiatric, no less than six months, followed by quarterly evaluations until it's determined he's no longer a threat to society." "We're not too far apart." "We propose a plea to murder two, incarceration at Sing Sing Prison for no less than 25 years, and regular evaluations by the parole board." " This is why you asked us here?" " No." "This is." "A transcript of a new interview with Sophie Feldman and an admission from her mother the abuse allegation was false." "That's immaterial to my client's condition." "Actually, it isn't." "You see, if you read down here, the little girl mentions a conversation she had with Dr Webb" " Charlie - at her brother's Bar Mitzvah." "It doesn't change anything." "In his condition, nothing anyone said would've made a difference." " Why don't you let your expert..." " We already know what ails him." "Sara Lindstrom is a stunning woman." " She had nothing to do with it." " She had everything to do with it." " He doesn't know anything." " I know about love." "You're not just nuts about her." "You're obsessive." "You know this because you've done a psychological work-up on me?" " Now's not the time." " Why not?" "He's alert, coherent." "Maybe he's over his...psychotic break." "Listen to this amateur psychologist." "I can afford to be an amateur." "I've got Sara Lindstrom." " What?" " She gave me the book on you." "58 years old." "Divorced." "No kids." "Nothing but your career..." " I can't hear this." " You're staring at the abyss of old age." " No one to love." "No one to love you." " If you don't shut him up..." "And there she was..." "Check her out." "Oh!" "Oh, oh, oh!" "The kind of woman who...ooh..." "well, frankly, guys like you never get." "Not just because you're too old but because you're a geek." "With your books and your tweed jacket..." " I have plenty of lady friends." " I'll bet." "Claudia, Christy, Cindy all line up for the likes of you." "You've looked at women like Sara all your life and wondered," ""What does it take?"" ""Good looks?" "Youth?" "Money?" "Power?" ""Oh, it's power!"" ""That's what gets these women hot!"" "And...you don't have any." "Sara's above all that." "Oh, sure." "She likes her chocolates, tulips," "$20,000 statues..." "And was it 14 phone calls a night?" " That was a mistake." " No!" "No mistake." "I've been there." "Every man in this room has." "You were 16 again!" "In your new sweet car." "You never felt better in your life." "You had to have her." "Don't belittle my feelings." " I'm not." "You tried everything." " Within reason." "Nobody's reasonable when they're in love." "That's the point of it." "But she wasn't loving you back." "And you thought maybe you weren't man enough, didn't you?" "No." "You had to show her you were man enough, so you dug into your reptilian brain and this is what came up with." "Kill the wolf at the door!" "Throw the body at her feet and the gates of paradise will open!" " Please, stop it." " She will give herself to you!" "You'll be king of the world!" "Instead of a scared old man." "Why do you...?" "You've seen her." "Wouldn't you do anything?" "Don't you see?" "She was my last chance." "Your client's not insane." "He's in love." "Maybe it's hard to tell the two apart, but the law can." "Here's your proposal back." "Now..." "let's talk about mine."
