00:00You called Hamlin.
00:03I always turn my phone off before I put it in your mailbox.
00:07Two nights ago, it was left on.
00:10Battery drained.
00:12I was so damn sure that I turned it off, you know,
00:15because I always do. It's a habit, right?
00:17So it was nagging me. It was nagging me!
00:20So I called the phone company.
00:22Turns out there was a deleted call at 2 a.m.
00:26when I was asleep right there.
00:30And you know whose number?
00:32Hamlin's.
00:35The only person who could have made that call and deleted it
00:38is you, Chuck.
00:43Boy, that phone, huh?
00:45Phone must have felt like a blowtorch in your ear.
00:48All that electricity, all those radio waves
00:51right up against the side of your head.
00:53My God!
00:56What was so important that you had to call Howard
00:58before our meeting?
01:00The only thing I can think,
01:02the only thing that makes sense is
01:03you told him not to hire me.
01:08It was always you, right?
01:11Right back to when I passed the bar
01:13and tried to join the firm.
01:14You didn't want me.
01:18Speak up.
01:18Tell me why.
01:22It's the least you can do for me now.
01:25I'm your brother?
01:26We're supposed to look out for each other?
01:29Why were you working against me, Chuck?
01:34You're not a real lawyer.
01:37I'm what?
01:39You're not a real lawyer.
01:40The University of America in Samoa, for Christ's sake?
01:45An online course?
01:47What a joke.
01:48I worked my ass off to get where I am.
01:51And you take these shortcuts
01:52and you think suddenly you're my peer?
01:54You do what I do because you're funny
01:56and you can make people laugh?
01:57I committed my life to this.
02:00You don't slide into it like a cheap pair of slippers
02:03and then reap all the rewards?
02:06I thought you were proud of me.
02:08I was.
02:09When you straightened out
02:11and got a job in the mailroom,
02:12I was very proud.
02:14So that's it then, right?
02:15Keep old Jimmy down in the mailroom
02:17because he's not good enough to be a lawyer.
02:19I know you.
02:22I know what you were, what you are.
02:24People don't change.
02:25You're Slippin' Jimmy.
02:27And Slippin' Jimmy I can handle just fine,
02:29but Slippin' Jimmy with a law degree
02:30is like a chimp with a machine gun.
02:33The law is sacred.
02:35If you abuse that power, people get hurt.
02:38This is not a game.
02:40You have to know on some level,
02:42I know you know I'm right.
02:44You know I'm right.
02:54I got you a 20-pound bag of ice
02:59and some bacon and some eggs
03:03and a couple of those steaks that you like.
03:06Some fuel canisters.
03:07It's enough for three or four days.
03:10After that,
03:11you're on your own.
03:14I am done.
