"So, Ashley, was this type of activity normal on the school bus?" "What activity?" "That's what people do when they hook up." "It's like kissing." "Are you saying yes?" "OK." "Can we talk for a second without notes or anything?" "OK." "If you're not truthful with me... then your mother's not going to get the money that she needs... and your pompoms are probably going to stay in storage." "The bus driver told the school that kids were cheering." "Now, I don't know any women who would want an audience for that." "It's a stupid tradition." "For cheerleaders." "So it's a tradition for cheerleaders... to engage in sexual acts with the basketball players?" "When we loin." "Oh, an initiation?" "Yeah." "So then, um..." "Tyler Griffin, he isn't your boyfriend?" "Please." "Ashley... would you have preferred another way to be initiated?" "Kind of." "Yeah." "NICK:" "I thought you weren't fighting." "TKO in the third." "I'm six for six.

"[Chuckles]" "Hey, you ever been to a fight?" "No." "'Cause I got another one tomorrow." "OK." "Wish me luck." "Good luck." "Mr. Carpenter, why do you think you and your wife... will be better guardians for Oscar?" "Tim lacks common sense." "He's like a child himself." "[Mutters]" "Bastard." "LAmER:" "For instance?" "Tim doesn't have health insurance." "What if Oscar breaks a leg?" "Do they go to one of those awful free clinics?" "Also, Oscar's a smart boy." "We have him in a vey good private school... with an eight thousand dollar tuition." "I don't think Tim's given a thought... to how he's going to pay for that." "Could all of your concerns about Mr. Dohanic's parenting... be remedied by money?" "Certainly not." "We're most concerned about his temper... which we've lust had an example of." "We're afraid that it will land him back in prison." "Thank you." "Mr. Carpenter," "Oscar's mother, your late daughter Lynn... was arrested at thirteen for driving your car... through the front door of a fast-food restaurant?" "Yes." "She had five other arrests on record for drug possession." "In fact, she spent half her life as a drug addict."

"Oh, no problem at all." "Did you get a new car yet?" "I'm actually going to look this aRernoon, yeah." "Look... why don't you let me help out a little by making the down payment?" "Oh, no." "My insurance is covering evemhing." "Thanks, an_ay." "So, how long are you in town for?" "A week or so." "I'm looking at some Pittsburgh investments... so I can be closer to your mother." "I wish she'd never leR Philly." "Well, it's only a few hours away." "I'm worried about her, Lu." "Why?" "Well, this federal investigation... I think she's taking it too lightly." "She's under investigation?" "Yeah." "She's in trouble." "And I don't think she's got the right lawyers." "Burton's great for corporate... but I want her to talk to my firm out in New York... but she won't listen." "Well, I was a clerk for the federal court." "I mean, she should-- she should be consulting me." "I know she didn't do anything wrong... and I don't want my wife getting hurt." "That was nice moves in there, kiddo." "You did a good lob." "OK, little dude, go hug your grandparents." "Oscar, you be good now." "Don't wory, Grandma." "We're coming over." "Right, Dad?" "Of course, you are." "Come on." "Bye, Grandma." "Bye, Grandpa." "Can we go to the gym?" "No." "Right now, you got to go to school." "You got to put your heart in your work." "You know what trainers always say..." ""The heart's the biggest muscle."" "I thought the heart was an organ." "[Laughs] No, it's not." "It's a muscle." "Isn't that right?" "I'll see you later." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "Come on." "Let's go." "LULU:" "This is nice." "It's a customer favorite." "NICK:" "It's a convertible." "I always wanted a convertible." "Well, it's not really you." "If I buy it, it will be." "Does this have the side air bags?" "The SUV has that feature, as well as a better stereo system." "Uh, I don't like tanks." "NICK:" "Well, they're a lot safer." "Not for the environment." "Your husband has a point about the safety." "And they're way too expensive." "I can help you out with a down payment." " Absolutely not." " Why not?" "Ted, could you lust get me some brochures, please?" "You know, if we do something right now, today" "Ted, can it, OK?" "Double or nothing, my ass." "I want three c-notes in my hand by Friday." "[Coughs]" "Let me catch up with you later, OK?" "Yeah." "I transcribed the interviews and draRed the complaints." "So all you have to do is file it and send it to the process server." "The envelope's stamped." "Oh, we do have a postage machine, you know?" "Yeah, do you have any water?" "Yeah." "So, look, I spoke to Mrs. Webber." "Oh, good." "I might need some help with her." "[Coughs]" "What's wrong?" "This cough is killing me." "Uh, no, with Mrs. Webber." "Oh." "Here's your water." "Thanks." "I got this friend at the "Post-Gazette."" "I want the Webbers to do an exclusive with him." "I mean, the press loves this teen sex stuff... but she's balking." "Well, yeah, of course she is." "The only reason why she wants this money... is so she can move to a place where she can hold her head up again." "Lulu, hello." "Litigation 101." "Public attention brings big, fast settlements." "I'm not gonna pressure her, Jake." "Do you understand the concept of leverage?" "I'm building a case here." "Wait, what case?" "The one where we argue... that teenagers should be compensated for having sex?" "I'm getting there." "Look, don't wory about it." "Lulu, if you came into this thinking that Pl was a breeze, you're--you're wrong." "[Jake coughs]" "[Door opens] I was seeing Ben for a while... till he got arrested." "So you could understand why I wouldn't want... to involve Jery in all of this." "Yeah, but why wouldn't you tell me about it?" "Because of what you were going through." "No, don't use the accident as an excuse." "I was referring to your divorce and Brian cheating... and your iudging me." "What you tell the prosecutor tomorrow is private." "It damn well better be." "This would kill Jery." "So you're not gonna tell him?" "I certainly don't want a third divorce." "You know, I spoke to the cheerleading captain, Chelsea Royce." "We call it head cheerleader." "Of course you do." "Thanks." "She said there's no initiation... and so did Shelly Donovan... and so did Liz McCormick." "They're not stupid." "The school would freak... probably disband the squad." "Well, without their testimony... we're gonna need some other kind of proof... that this behavior was going on." "Bummer." "Did you, uh... did you write to anybody about the initiation?" "You know, like, passing notes in class?" "We page each other... and sometimes send emails on our _o-ways." "I don't save stuff." "Hmm, well, maybe--maybe ex-cheerleaders won't be so protective." "Do you know any of them?" "No, I'm a freshman." "[Sighs] There's gotta be old rosters or something." "Yearbooks." "In the school libray." "Good." "LULU:" "Poor mom." "We did a lot of prep on her testimony." "I'm sure she's fine." "Yeah, but still, she's in there telling _enty strangers... that she had an affair with this guy... and he's lying about her to save his own skin." "You know, I was thinking we could get you started on the SUV... lust on a short-term lease." "Ty it out." "Do you like my hair short like this?" "Uh, it's cute." "Are you going to go to that boxing match tonight?" "Yes." "Can I come with you?" "Um, if it won't upset you." "Oh, come on." "You know what upsets me." "I'll give you Jake's ticket." "Mm-hmm." "Great." "LULU:" "Ahem!" "How'd it go?" "Smooth sailing." "Good." "We should talk about what they asked you... while it's still fresh in your mind." "Uh, no. I need to talk to Jery." "Mom..." "Not now, Louisa." "This child suffered psychological damage... on Johannsen Bus Line's watch." "This is bogus, and you know it." "County guidelines for school trips... and off-campus events require... one adult chaperone for evey _enty students." "Now, on the evening of the event in question... the only adult on the bus was one vey preoccupied driver... and _enty _o students." "Blame the school." "The coaches shouldn't take their own cars." "They should ride with the kids." "No, no, the blame lies with your company... because you contracted to follow county guidelines... on all of your own buses." "I'd like to note... this behavior on your bus line is commonplace." "This is the 2002 Madison yearbook." "Uh, "The sweetest thing about Madison Hoop..." ""is the service on the bus."" "Now, do you really think this horny fiReen-year-old... is talking about the smooth ride?" "In case you're not sure... I've got three other references marked... including one that creates a new verb..." "Johannsening." "We still think this is crap... but we'll give you thim thousand to make this Webber girl go away." "Fim." " Fom." " Agreed." "So this is a complaint for Tyler Griffin." "What?" "The kid who got the hummer?" "Excuse me." "Straka, you can't be serious." "Sexual trauma's vey real for both genders." "And this boy was traumatized by what I could only dream of until college?" "Mr. Griffin is a closet homosexual." "[Sighs deeply]" "This incident was... lt was a nightmare for him." "He's taken a leave of absence from school." "He's seeing a psychiatrist three times a week." "His mother fears suicide." "That bus was a virtual peer pressure cooker." "We'll match the Webber deal." "See, I'm looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars." "We can't discuss anything close to that... without informing our insurance carrier." "I understand." "Well, gentlemen, you have my number." "I'm late for my doctor's appointment." "Ms. Archer will show you out." "Nice work."

"There's nothing else." "Not for me." "Thanks, Oscar." "Well, I lust hope you'll think about what I'm saying." "I better get going." "I'll check with you later, OK?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Why don't you save that for later, OK?" "OK." "OK." "Take care." "OK, kiddo." "Jake." "Oh, hey." "We need to talk about what you pulled yesterday." "Well, I got waivers from both clients... and I got Mrs. Webber ten thousand more than she approved." "We lust cut your check for six and a half grand." "Considering what you've got with Griffin... I think LSP should get the entire fee." "Well, the oral agreement was that you'd split the Webber fee." "Yeah, but that kid could half a million." "Where's your good faith?" "Good faith?" "You know, I have a vey strong sense ofjustice." "Oh, lust take the damn check." "I think I get it from my mother... and I think she'd feel the same way about this whole situation." "Wait, wait." "Are you going to tell your mommy on me?" "Considering she's one of your biggest clients, yes." "And that's exactly why I didn't take this... to evey other ambulance chaser in town." "I really do understand the concept of leverage." "All right." "Make out a check for thirteen thousand." "Nice doing business with you." "Hey, uh, listen." "Why don't we both celebrate our wins and grab a hot dog or something?" "OK." "Only if you're buying." "And lust for the record, I don't feel great about this whole thing." "What?" "Profiting because teenagers think that oral sex is a game." "The whole thing gets to me, too." "It does?" "Yeah." "Why the hell wasn't I born later?" "Hi!" "How you feeling?" "Like I got dropped off a building." "Ohh. I'm sory about that fight." "You were doing really well." "I thought you were going to win." "Yeah, me, too." "Hey, Nick, can I talk to you?" "Sure." "Let's go in here." "Are we still going to the park?" "I got to talk to Nick for one minute, OK?" "A minute's a long time." "Not be_een rounds." "Play your game, OK?" "Appreciate evemhing you did." "Uh, but... I got to send him back." "Can't fight, I can't work at the moving company with my injuries." "Well, what about the pizza place?" "Tino said he needs another investor, not another worker." "It's not that I don't love my son." "You know, he's real good for me." "Um..." "This ain't no good for him." "Have you told him yet?" "No, you're the first one I told." "I got to call the grandparents now." "Well, lust let me call their attorney first." "I can get you favorable terms." "Just let me--let me-- let me just get this over with." "Tim, lust for once, take some advice." "Yeah." "[Cying] Yeah." "LULU:" "Hi." "Hi." "How'd it go?" "Nick hasn't heard from the prosecutor yet." "No, I meant with Jery." "Oh." "Uh..." "he wants to work it through." "That's great." "He actually blames himself for working so much." "He must really love you." "Yes, he does." "So how was your first week back?" "Um, it was fine." "You know, I'd feel a whole lot better... if I stayed with you a little while longer." "Don't you think you should go back to Philly... and spend some time with Jery?" "Please." "OK." "All I can think of right now... is my dy martini and a nice hot bath." "Let's plan that shopping day, huh?" "Ms. Archer." "Hi, Mrs. Webber." "I lust want to come by and thank you..." "for referring us to Mr. Straka." "What a godsend." "You're welcome." "He fought for us like you wouldn't believe." "Ashley and I are moving across the state." "I even have enough for a house down payment." "I'm glad it all worked out." "I wanted to get Mr. Straka a little something." "is there anything in particular that you think he'd like?" "Snakes." "Snakes?" "Snakes." "Yeah, he collects them." "Anything with a snake on it." "That's unusual, but to each his own." "Thanks for the tip." "No problem." "Lulu." "Yeah?" "Listen, I want to tell you because I know you were worried." "Budget crisis averted." "Really?" "Yeah." "Fallin and Fallin sent over a check." "How much?" "Thirteen thousand dollars." "Odd amount, isn't it?" "Well, you know what they say about gir horses." "Yeah." "Think Nick had anything to do with it?" "Probably." "But you know him." "He'd never admit it." "Yeah." "Right." "NICK:" "It's a nice car." "Thank you." "So Jake told me about your civil suit." "Oh, yeah?" "You know why I didn't come to you on that, right?" "No, I don't." "I didn't want you to get involved if I got caught." "Right." "Well, you know, it doesn't matter." "Don't lie to me." "Here you go, Ms. Archer." "Whee!" "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Wow." "So..." "Where to, sailor?" "Are you sure you feel fine to drive?" "Are you kidding?" "Well, I lust get a little scared... that you're going to hurt yourself." "is that what you're afraid of?" "You really should take it easy." "I'm ready to drive." "All right, great." "Let's go." "No, you know what?" "I can do it on my own." "No training wheels." "Are you sure?" "LULU:" "Yeah." "OK." "Hey, grab that door for me, buddy." "OK, little dude... come give your old man a kiss." "No." "You got hugs for Manny, all those gym rats in there... and you ain't got nothin' for me?" "Come on, buddy." "We're gonna see each other real soon." "I don't want to see you." "You know how to get to the highway from here?" "I can manage." "OK." "We'll take good care of him." "Yeah, I know." "If you run into any resistance with the terms of the custody... give me a call." "You know, the kid didn't mean it." "He's just upset." "Oh, I know." "Need a ride home?" "No, I'm lust gonna walk." "You live across town." "Well, what do I got to rush home to, huh?" "Hey, Nick... thanks for fightin' for me." "### Ripped by FabHawk ###"
