00:00Previously on Family Law.
00:02So you kissed your boss.
00:04You were reaching for the door handle, weren't you?
00:05Yep.
00:06Harry Svensson, will you marry me?
00:09I would love nothing more.
00:11He looks like a tiny Benjamin Button.
00:13That's our baby.
00:15He called my client hysterical, and he called me a ball buster.
00:19It's the not-so-thinly-veiled language of a misogynist.
00:22I've never heard him say anything like that. He's very progressive.
00:24Abigail, we appreciate you bringing your concerns to us.
00:27But this merger is going ahead.
00:38My client doesn't believe in corporal punishment, finds it abhorrent.
00:42But the other side's got no problem with it.
00:43How many kids do they have?
00:44One. Seven-year-old son.
00:46A couple weeks ago, he was back in the ER with a broken arm.
00:49That's not discipline. That's abuse.
00:51Well, thankfully, that was the judge's reaction.
00:53I managed to get my client in trim sole parenting.
00:55She must be so relieved.
00:58I represent the father.
01:07What do you think?
01:09Oh, my God. Mom, leave something to the imagination.
01:12I think you'd look hot, JoJo.
01:14Thank you. I have always said you had great taste.
01:18Have you chosen your bridesmaids yet?
01:20Oh, I wasn't going to have any. It's just going to be a simple ceremony.
01:22Please. I really want to be one.
01:24Are you kidding? I thought marriage was an unjust institution designed to oppress women.
01:29That was for my gender studies essay. Obviously. It doesn't apply to JoJo and Grandpa. Their love transcends the patriarchy.
01:36Plus, I found this really cute dress.
01:39The first wave marched so you could run to the mall.
01:42Okay. Sure. You can be a bridesmaid. I'm willing to see you in this dress.
01:50I guess this makes you my maid of honor.
01:52Are you asking me?
01:53Are you making me ask?
01:55All right. Fine.
01:56But I'm not throwing you a bachelorette party.
01:58Good morning, my lovelies.
02:00Oh, you need to find a best man and two groomsmen so our bridal party has even numbers.
02:04I thought we weren't.
02:05We are.
02:07Okay.
02:17I've already collected 600 bucks for Jerry's retirement gift.
02:20Wow, that's great.
02:21Yeah, everyone's being so much more generous than they were with Daniel's partnership.
02:24We're going to be able to do something really big.
02:27You know, you have so much on your plate already, you don't have to be in charge of Jerry's gift.
02:31Oh, I don't mind. Plus, I already know the perfect thing to get her.
02:35No bobbleheads.
02:38Not just a bobblehead.
02:40Dr. Svensson?
02:41Yes?
02:41Jasmine Gordon, I called into your radio show.
02:44You told me to dump my fiancee, remember?
02:47Jasmine, it's nice to meet you in person.
02:48I took your advice. I called off my wedding.
02:51Good for you. That took real courage.
02:54I never would have done it if it weren't for you.
02:55Happy I could help.
02:56But you didn't have to come all the way down here for that.
02:59Oh, I really did.
03:01I'm suing you for destroying my life.
03:31I can't prove it.
03:33Did you really tell Jasmine to leave her fiancee?
03:37Kinda out of character for Dr. Sensitivity.
03:39I know, but the way she described him, it sounded like she was looking for permission to leave.
03:44Well, now she wants $100,000 for emotional damages, plus another $50,000 to cover expenses incurred when she called
03:52off the wedding last minute.
03:53This is a nightmare. I can't believe I let myself get so cocky.
03:56Relax. We're gonna make this all disappear. You have the best personal injury lawyer in the city defending you.
04:03Thank you. Pro bono, right?
04:06I don't remember you paying me last time while I start now.
04:17Morning, Mr. Spenson. This came in for you from the Society for Children and Youth. You've been appointed counsel for
04:24the child.
04:24I forgot I ever put my name on that list.
04:26Apparently you were the only one the opposing lawyers could agree on.
04:29Who are they?
04:29Portia Ifa and Marcus Peterson.
04:31Marcus was just telling me about this case.
04:35Morning, Dad.
04:36Good morning.
04:38Listen, Jerry has spent 25 years making everyone else feel appreciated.
04:43I want no expense spared, no detail overlooked for her retirement party.
04:47Absolutely, sir. I've made a list of high-end restaurants willing to cater.
04:50No, no, no. Wings, sliders, deep-fried pickles from Nick's Bar & Grill, and a red velvet cake from Myrtle's
04:57on Main.
04:58Really?
04:58Those are her favorites. Where are we on the gift?
05:01I've got the perfect thing, sir. Stroke of genius, really.
05:05Ready for this? Laser tag.
05:09Winston?
05:10On it, sir.
05:12Hi, hi.
05:13Oh, gorgeous.
05:15Hi.
05:23All of the venues we liked are booked solid at least a year out.
05:27I'd take you down to City Hall this afternoon if you'd let me.
05:30I'm not sharing my wedding day with a bunch of sweaty strangers paying parking tickets.
05:34Point taken.
05:35But I do agree I don't want to wait a year.
05:39So, what if we have a garden wedding at the house?
05:41In a couple of weeks the flowers will be in full bloom and if it rains we can go inside.
05:46Sold.
05:46Really?
05:47I love it. We'll save a fortune.
05:49Which we can put toward the caterer.
05:51Exactly what I was thinking.
05:52I don't mind paring down the guest list to family and a few close friends, but the food has to
05:57be impeccable.
05:58My darling, you tell me who you want to cater our wedding and you shall have them.
06:06Poor kid's been in the ER three times.
06:09Second degree burn, dislocated shoulder, broken arm.
06:12All on mom's watch.
06:13Hmm.
06:14Who's representing her?
06:15Portia Ifa.
06:16She's facing an uphill battle.
06:17Marcus did the right thing by getting the father-soul parenting.
06:20Don't be too quick to judge.
06:21Kids have accidents.
06:22You can't protect them from everything.
06:24Just the other day, Harmony crawled into the edge of the coffee table and did three stitches.
06:28Why wasn't anyone watching her?
06:29She was with Maggie.
06:30And honestly, I'm glad it was her and not me because Maggie probably would have had the same reaction.
06:35And it was an accident, judgey.
06:37It's nobody's fault.
06:38Some kids are more accident prone than others.
06:40Frank and I took Sophia to the ER a bunch of times.
06:43Ear infections, broken wrists, that time Axel Detweiler almost cut her finger off.
06:47What about Nico?
06:48No, Nico's always been naturally cautious.
06:50Except for that one time you tried to eat a battery.
06:53Ah, don't worry.
06:54I fell on my head loads of times when I was a kid.
06:56Look how I turned out.
07:03Hi, Lucy.
07:04Do you have a sec?
07:05Of course.
07:05Come in.
07:09So, given my history with your father, I never imagined that we'd be so close.
07:13I'm sure Danielle and I were the last people you wanted to know.
07:17Well, his mother was my backstabbing best friend and yours came along and gave her a taste of her own
07:22medicine, so I always had a soft spot for your mom.
07:25The enemy of your enemy is your friend?
07:27Something like that.
07:29The point is, I think of you as my bonus daughter.
07:33And I wasn't going to have bridesmaids, but Sophia inspired me and I realized I wouldn't feel right if you
07:40weren't standing there with me.
07:42So what do you think?
07:43I'd love to.
07:44Oh, good.
07:47Wait.
07:48It doesn't mean matching bridesmaids dresses, does it?
07:51Oh, God, no.
07:51You can wear whatever you want.
07:53Okay.
07:53Well.
07:55Within reason.
08:03So, that's four.
08:05Plus another five.
08:08Look at a 24 pack of socket covers.
08:10And a baby gate for the top of the stairs.
08:11For the baby or you?
08:13And we're going to need foam wrap for the sharp edges of the table.
08:16You know what?
08:17Maybe we should just wrap it all the way around to be safe.
08:19You know, I've got a cheaper all-in-one solution.
08:21Great.
08:21What?
08:21Keep the kid in a giant plastic bubble until she's 21.
08:27Shouldn't you be baby proofing your own place?
08:28It's a death trap of glass and stairs.
08:31We've got plenty of time to worry about that.
08:33Who knows if I'll still be living there by then.
08:35Hey, when?
08:36When the child's old enough.
08:39Old enough for what?
08:41You know.
08:43Eating.
08:44Without you and those.
08:47Ever heard of a bottle?
08:48Right, but for the first year you're going to...
08:50Were you just assuming I was going to do everything by myself until then?
08:52No, obviously I will make sure you and the baby have everything you need.
08:56It's not about money.
08:57Do you have any idea how hard I've worked to get where I am?
09:00If I take even six months off, I'll get passed over.
09:03They'll give orcs three to someone else.
09:04What were you planning on doing if I hadn't offered a co-parent?
09:06I would have figured it out.
09:07I begged my mom to come stay with me for a while,
09:09but when you said in, I assumed you meant in.
09:12I am.
09:13What does in mean to you, Daniel?
09:14Were you going to take any time off at all?
09:15I'm an equity partner and we're signing the merger paperwork this week.
09:19I'm sorry that you and your lawyer bros are stuck in the 50s,
09:21but in my world, a lot of dads share parental leave.
09:24That's fair.
09:24And maybe down the road I can figure something out that...
09:26You know what?
09:27I'm done with this home inspection.
09:28Take your little baby proofing list and go.
09:36Leave the burrito.
09:37How?
09:37You had yours.
09:38This one's mine.
09:39I said, leave it.
09:42I have one, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve.
10:06So Jerry, my mom's birthday is coming up and I want to get her something perfect.
10:10but i'm just stumped any ideas what does your mom enjoy you know probably just a lot of the same
10:17things you do like bowling wouldn't be much help i'm afraid i don't bowl knitting i know my mom
10:25got super into knitting when she retired no never had the patience for knitting laser tag good
10:31heavens no is your mom a eight-year-old boy cecil i'm sure she will love whatever you give her
10:36because it comes from you yeah thanks
10:44our goal in family law is to work collaboratively to reach an agreement that works for everyone
10:48my specific role in this instance as counsel for the child is to make sure your voice is heard
10:54jack i am not jack i am xazor okay how did you hurt your arm xazor robots do not hurt
11:06right how did you damage your robotic limb information classified

12:04doesn't help me with jack it's literally my job to make sure his voice is heard and all i get
12:07is
12:07xazor's it's gonna take him time to trust you especially after the stranger danger incident
12:12all right i've met a lot of children who adopt unusual voices as a coping mechanism when they're
12:17feeling anxious i don't have time to get past that you just talk to him for me you do know
12:22i'm being
12:23sued i should be keeping her busy not you please loose just one session fine robot kid's gonna have
12:31to wait my client and i are doing the boardroom
12:36your client's on-air advice amounts to negligent practice please without even meeting jasmine
12:42she gave her life-changing advice if you had a wart on your toe and a doctor told you to
12:48amputate
12:49your foot that doctor would be a cartoon character in your head give me a break george we all know
12:54this
12:54suit is frivolous 150k no judge is gonna rule my client's advice caused the damages you're claiming
13:03promise me you're gonna call off this wedding run don't walk from that altar are you sure dr
13:08svensson you've got this i'm excited for you jasmine your client agreed to the exclusion of liability
13:14terms before she spoke with dr svensson on air you know i seem to recall your former client signed a
13:20similar waiver before riding the cowabunga slide you successfully sued the water park for that woman's
13:25horrific wedgie you got her 1.3 million but there's one big difference between that case and this
13:31one i wasn't representing the water park if this goes to court it becomes a matter of public record
13:36and whether you win or not your client's professional reputation will be destroyed
13:41but doesn't have to come to that now my client is willing to settle this quickly and quietly
13:50offers good for 24 hours
13:58i want to take it if we can make this all go away for thirty thousand dollars and my insurance
14:03will cover it you don't want to do that if you settle it opens the door for any of your
14:08call-ins
14:08to sue you trust me this is classic george threaten to sue for a huge amount scare the defendant
14:15collect the lower and seemingly reasonable settlement and then take his family to the bahamas with his cut
14:19we called the grab and go when i worked for him that's so sleazy that's george i'm gonna call him
14:24and tell him he can shove his offer wait is this what's best for me or is this just you

15:51winston cancel my one o'clock tomorrow
16:02miss bowman will you please explain the circumstances of your son's visits to the
16:06emergency room the first time jack was three he grabbed my mug and spilled boiling tea all
16:13down his front he had burns on his hands and his chest i can see you're still deeply affected
16:18by that accident objection leading sustained please tell us what happened when your son dislocated
16:25his shoulder i was swinging him by both arms giving him a helicopter ride i didn't know at the
16:30time how easily that game can pull a child's arm out of the socket and the most recent accident
16:34can you walk us through how he came to break his arm i picked him up after work we got
16:40home and
16:40i asked him to put his backpack away while i made dinner he ignored me and climbed up on the
16:45counter what did you do i told him to get down but he wouldn't so i grabbed him and pulled
16:51him off
16:53he must have banged his arm on the counter because he screamed and
16:57i knew something was very wrong
17:00how long did you wait to seek medical attention
17:02i drove him to the er right away
17:04did you at any time attempt to hide the truth of your son's accident from mr bowman
17:09no i texted him from the hospital
17:12thank you for being so forthright one last question have you ever intentionally harmed
17:18your child no i would never hurt him thank you
17:25mr peterson thank you your honor miss bowman were there any witnesses when your son allegedly burned
17:34himself no what about when you dislocated his shoulder we were alone in the backyard and when
17:41you cracked his arm against the counter objection that's a gross mischaracterization of the facts
17:45withdrawn is it fair to say we have only your word for it that these terrible injuries were
17:52accidents objection badgering the witness overruled please answer the question they were accidents yes or
18:07does counsel for the child have any questions for this witness yes your honor miss bowman did you
18:13tell jack to keep the information about how he broke his arm classified no is it common for him to
18:19pretend to be cesar the robot he does that when he's anxious and why do you think your son is
18:24anxious
18:25maybe because he hasn't been allowed to see his mother for over two weeks or is it possible
18:29he went into robot mode to protect you
18:41and she thought we'd share parental leave
18:43i mean it wasn't something on my radar but she made a good point
18:47obviously the timing's not ideal
18:49put it mildly does your baby mama know you're a partner we're in the middle of a merger
18:53she does but she's got a lot going on at work too
18:55did your girl ever heard of a nanny hell you give her two with what you're gonna rake in
19:01okay let's do it
19:02okay
19:11cesar could i access some data from your hard drive
19:14what kind of data
19:17what's jack's favorite color purple really it's mine too what's jack's favorite food
19:26pierogies oh yeah those are good with sour cream and fried onions who drew that cool cat elliot he's a
19:35good artist i can see that he's pretty much my best friend looks like a lot of people signed your
19:40cast
19:41yeah the whole class plus mrs key for the librarian wow i bet everyone wanted to know how
19:46you broke it you don't have to tell me but one thing i'm curious about is why did you climb
19:53up on
19:53the counter were you mad at your mom no i was just trying to get the pain pills my mom
19:58keeps them up
19:59hi did you have a headache from my arm oh did you hurt your arm before you climbed up on
20:06the counter
20:12his arm might have been broken before his mom picked him up where was he that day he went home
20:18after school with a friend and the friend's nanny has anyone talked to them i didn't see any mention
20:22that in the file you're gonna follow up though right marcus and porsche are both excellent lawyers
20:27i'm sure they've done their due diligence what are their names the friend and the nanny i'd have to
20:32check his friend's name's elliot why so my intel operation didn't exactly go as planned but i was
20:40still able to build a pretty big list of good ideas of all the things jerry doesn't like they call
20:47it
20:47the process of elimination i'm familiar with the concept cecil contact jack's mother amy bowman
20:53tell her we want to speak to elliot's nanny yeah for sure
21:06i think my boyfriend's cheating on me with someone he works with thanks for your call natalie
21:10could you tell me what led you to have these feelings i went through his phone while he was in
21:15the shower i see and uh what specifically would you like to explore with me today should i confront
21:25him or pretend i never saw the dick pic he sent her you know trust is a key component to
21:33every
21:34relationship what you're describing to me sounds like a difficult and complex situation
21:43have you considered keeping a journal of how you're feeling no some people find it very therapeutic
21:48oh so if i write down all the stuff i saw on his phone and then just happen to leave
21:52my journal out
21:53one day for him to see no i want to be very clear that's not what i'm advising you to
21:58do without
21:59sitting down with you both it would be unprofessional for me to comment on your unique interpersonal
22:06dynamic and that's all the time we have for today be kind to yourself natalie but you never told me
22:13what i should what was that it was like you were reading college course notes i know i'm just so
22:22scared of saying the wrong thing again you can't let that stupid lawsuit get to you jasmine wouldn't
22:27be suing me if i hadn't been so reckless and unprofessional stop the reason you were such a star
22:32is because you're so accessible you make callers feel like they're talking to the sage friend they
22:38all wish they had in real life i do love doing this show and i don't want to lose it
22:42because i'm a
22:43liability to the station we're 100 behind you and by that i mean the station will probably drop you
22:49if you lose in court but i'll be behind you on the way if that means anything i've got like
22:54let's see
22:56eight hundred dollars to my name right now so that does mean a lot can i offer the wise dr

27:50i intend
27:50to spend the rest of my days doing whatever it takes to make her happy which begins with exceptional
27:57catering i'm sure your local deli will be able to throw something together in time i appreciate how
28:02difficult it must be working with happy couples given your second wife is leaving you you were married
28:09to selena adler the ketchup heiress are you not yes the family law community is very small and i have
28:16it

28:29a new restaurant you think so absolutely provided you create the menu of joanne's dreams for our wedding
29:01i'm on a deadline i've been thinking about what you said and i'm not equipped to look after a baby
29:08yeah you made that very clear no all i meant is that my condo's not fit sure blame it on
29:13your condo will
29:13you just listen please there's an apartment for rent down the street i thought maybe i could rent it
29:24we'd still have our own lives totally independent it would just mean we'd be close enough to help
29:30each other out never looked after a baby before might feel safer for everyone
29:38i don't hate that idea i shouldn't have assumed you'd take the first year thank you but with the
29:45merger i can't realistically take more than a couple weeks so maybe we could come up with a child care
29:51plan that works for both of us whenever you're ready to go back to work i'll pay for it i'm
29:57listening
29:59we could get a nanny or find daycare and if we're gonna do that then we should get him on
30:05the list
30:05now or she or they whoa what what's wrong give me your head did you feel that did he just
30:17is that our baby's first kick yes
30:24so
30:50so
31:02so
31:23can you please identify the people in this video
31:29miss gordon i'm pretty sure that's you but i'd still appreciate you answering the question
31:35yes that's me and
31:38mike when did you patch things up with your fiancee i don't remember that's understandable given how
31:44many times you've broken up and reunited these are some of mike kaminsky social media posts going back
31:52three years they show multiple makeups and breakups between him and miss gordon is this the first wedding you called
32:00off
32:03second second second and which radio personality did you blame for the first wedding it canceled
32:07objection badgering the witness overruled i'm curious now miss gordon where did you cancel the first time
32:15we can't do this him and i was just the first time you was asking him to come from that
32:23hospital you're not that's the situation
32:23how many lawsuits has mike filed in the past
32:26objection
32:27Relevance?
32:28Overruled.
32:29The witness will answer the question.
32:30I don't know about any lawsuits.
32:32Maybe I can help jog your memory.
32:34Mike Kaminsky has launched six frivolous claims over the last ten years,
32:40from suing the Parks Board when he tripped over a branch
32:42to suing his dentist for failing to convince him to have an urgent root canal.
32:48You might recall that one because you testified on his behalf.
32:53I have nothing further, Your Honor.
32:57Thank you, Ms. Gordon. You may step down.
33:03You know the thing I like about Judge Judy?
33:06She gives great common sense advice.
33:09That's a whole lot of fun.
33:11But we can't compare that to what we're doing right now.
33:16Just like Dr. Svensson's radio show can't be compared to the professional advice
33:21she gives in private counseling sessions.
33:23And, Ms. Gordon, if you're looking for more free advice,
33:28maybe don't marry Mike Kaminsky.
33:31I'm dismissing this frivolous claim.
33:33Plaintiff will pay Dr. Svensson's costs.
33:41You're working for me pro bono.
33:44Not anymore.
33:48You were fierce.
33:49Did you see George's face?
33:51I bet he's canceling his bomb on his trip right now.
33:53I owe you so much, Abby.
33:54Let me take you out to lunch.
33:55Thanks, but I want to see how Daniel's faring against Marcus.
33:58Are they in court right now?
33:59Yep, and if Daniel's doing it right, Marcus should be about as happy as George Handler.
34:03This is turning out to be a really fun day.
34:05Maybe I'll drop by the station and tell Robin my good news.
34:11All rise for Judge Natalia.
34:23Your Honor, we have new evidence we'd like to submit.
34:26So do we, Your Honor.
34:28Ms. Aoife, I recognize you as senior counsel, so you may go first.
34:34This is a signed affidavit from Giselle Brazo.
34:37The child injured his arm a full 90 minutes before his mother picked him up.
34:42Ms. Bowman did not break her son's arm.
34:45Disturbingly, opposing counsel knew this and failed to disclose it.
34:48Mr. Peterson, is this true?
34:50Your Honor, this is the first I've heard of it.
34:51If anyone in my office interviewed Ms. Brazo,
34:54they neglected to brief me or include a note in the file.
34:57At a minimum, you should have better communication with your team, Mr. Peterson.
35:00Absolutely. My apologies.
35:05Mr. Svensson, you can submit your new evidence.
35:11We have nothing further at this time, Your Honor.
35:21Given the new context for the child's accident,
35:23I can see no reason to maintain the interim order.
35:27I hereby grant Amy Bowman immediate parenting time,
35:31split 50-50 with Mr. Wayne Bowman.
35:38She's not an abusive mother.
35:40This is the best outcome for Jack.
35:41How the hell did this come to Portia's attention?
35:43Are you saying it already came to yours?
35:45Just so you know, it wasn't Daniel.
36:09We won.
36:10I knew you'd kill it.
36:12Thank you for the nudge to keep fighting.
36:17Anyway, you're working, and I just barged in here, so...
36:20No, no, no.
36:21I'm glad you stopped by.
36:25I should tell you I've asked for a reassignment.
36:28As of Monday, I won't be producing your segment anymore.
36:31Because of the lawsuit?
36:32No.
36:34Is it because of the whole reaching for the doorknob thing?
36:36Because I didn't mean to...
36:38No.
36:40It's because I'd like to ask you out.
36:44Oh.
36:45Yeah, because if you say yes, it turns into an HR thing,
36:48but, well, if you say no, it'll be awkward.
36:52Right.
36:53Makes sense.
36:56So is that a yes, or...
37:00A no?
37:02I guess you'll find out on Monday.
37:27I'm going to miss seeing you every day.
37:29You won't miss my nagging.
37:32The only reason I've survived working with those two
37:35is because of you.
37:36Well, we'll see lots of each other at meetings.
37:39I'm counting on you for all the office gossip.
37:44What?
37:45We should talk later.
37:57What is this?
37:59It's from all of us.
38:00We thought you might want to practice before your trip.
38:04The bobble hip was my idea.
38:06Of course it was.
38:08Let me know if you want some coaching.
38:11Oh, thank you for this generous gift
38:16and for this party.
38:19It has been my true pleasure being your office manager.
38:24And you will always be my extended family.
38:29And if I say one more thing, my mascara will run.
38:32So everyone, get back to eating the city's best wings.
38:41Tell me how this retirement thing goes.
38:43Because I'm right behind you.
38:47Any chance I can steal you away from your own party for a moment?
38:50Sure.
38:56Is everything all right?
38:58Joanne is adamant we have symmetry in our wedding party.
39:01I thought you weren't here.
39:03We are.
39:03I've already Zoomed with Nico,
39:05who said he'd be très heureuse to be my groomsman.
39:08And Daniel?
39:10Less excited, but he agreed.
39:14Which brings me to this.
39:17You certainly don't owe me any favors,
39:19especially given recent events.
39:21Well, I can think of no one else
39:25who has stood by me so consistently,
39:29even when I wasn't perhaps the best version of myself.
39:36I would be honored if you would be my best woman.
39:43The honor would be all mine.
39:59I had my doubts about this cake,
40:01but it's actually really good.
40:02My compliments to Myrtle.
40:04Oh, you should try her apple pan dowdy.
40:06Ho!
40:06So, I've been working on my speech for the wedding.
40:08I got it up to eight minutes so far,
40:10but it's just missing that big finish.
40:12Wait, what do you mean, up to?
40:15Cecil, sometimes the best words are the ones not said.
40:20Yeah, that's good.
40:22Hang on, let me write that down quickly before I forget.
40:24But, sometimes the best words are left.
40:32Thanks for putting yourself in the line of fire with Marcus.
40:34You didn't have to do that.
40:35I didn't do it for you.
40:36I really wanted him to know it was me.
40:39You had his number.
40:40Dad and I should have listened to you.
40:43It's not too late to pull the plug on this merger.
40:47I'm going to tell Dad.
40:49Feel your boots?
40:53Do you want me to come with you?
41:02Speak of the snake.
41:06As soon as he leaves, we'll go in.
41:13Marcus, what brings you by?
41:15Sorry to interrupt the party, Harry.
41:16Not at all.
41:17You're welcome to join.
41:18They're all your staff, too, as of next week.
41:20Well, that's why I'm here.
41:22I reviewed the latest draft of the agreement.
41:25Is there an issue?
41:26No, everything looks good to me.
41:27I just have one small amendment,
41:29and then I think we're good to ink the deal.
41:31Terrific.
41:32What's the change?
41:35You don't have to be a liability, Harry.
41:37Abigail has to go.
41:45You don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a
41:46liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be
41:46a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to
41:46be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have
41:46to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't
41:46have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you
41:46don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability,
41:46you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to be a
41:46liability, you don't have to be a liability, you don't have to
