"I'll talk to dad for a second." "So, um, the job is for two weeks, and the plan was for Eric to stay with my sister, but, honestly, he'd really like to get to know you better." "So if you want, he can stay with you." "[ Chuckling ]" " If I want?" "[ Chuckles ]" " Yeah." "Thank you." "Yes." "Yes." "I promise I will take great care of him." "I'll make him eat his broccoli uh, brush his teeth, in bed at 8:00..." "[ Chuckles ]" "No, in bed by 7:00." " 7:00, of course." "Eric:" " Mom!" "Look!" "Oh, what happened?" "Um, both women decided they could do better." "[ Chuckles ]" "And Teri gave him to me. [ Chuckles ]" "Oh, really?" "Mnh." "Congrats." "You almost got the firm out of debt." "Yeah, I almost got disbarred." "I mean, Parker won't even look at me or Kim." "Well, maybe you should have followed the rules." "[ Chuckles ]" "I don't like rules." "And I really don't like you telling me what to do or how to act." "Jane, despite what you may think, this case was never about you." "At least not you, as in Deb." "What's this?" "Jane's family photo." "Who's not in it?" "[ Sighs ]" "Jane." "You won't find her in many photos." "Unlike Deb, who never met a camera she didn't like and would have found this case to be silly." "I am Deb." "And I didn't find this case silly." "Glad to hear it." "And maybe next time, you'll find a way to win the case and keep the money, Jane." "The firm needs it." "[ Chuckles ]" "[ Door opens, closes ]" "[ Indistinct conversations ]" "Woman:" "Oh, my God." "[ Gasps ]" "Oh, Jane!" "Will you look at this place!" "[ Both chuckle ]" "Thank you." "[ Chuckling ] I'm so proud of you." "Oh, thank you." "Congratulations on winning your "jerk producer" case." "Thank you." "And I'm sorry I unloaded on you." "Nah, I'm here for you, anytime." "[ Chuckling ] Hey." "Grayson." "Rumor is you threw the game." "What?" "I..." "You should know, for judges, it's never about the outcome." "It's about due process, which requires the truth be introduced." "You, Mr. Kent, subverted due process on the court of basketball." "I wouldn't go that far." "Let me give you an opportunity to right this wrong." "Come on." "Now?" "Right now." "I challenge you to a rematch." "The gym's right down the street." "I got the keys." "[ Chuckles ]" "In case you don't know, this is my "you're about to be held in contempt" look." "First to 11 wins." " I'm wearing a suit." " Me, too." "Making excuses already?" "1 up." "Welcome, all my fellow pake-lovers." "My name's Teri Lee, and as I like I tell my dates," "I'll be your final course tonight."
