:11:01
May I come in, sir?
:11:03
Of course. What the hell do
you think you're here for?
:11:06
Thank you, sir.
:11:08
Don't knock. It's highly unlikely
you'll ever catch me
:11:11
on the couch with
Miss Radabaugh.
:11:13
Yes, sir.
:11:14
Well, we got one complaint about you.
You're too goddamn polite.
:11:17
And stop being scared of me, Mason.
You got the job.
:11:20
Yes, sir. Would you care for some tea,
Mr. Justice, or a Scotch?
:11:25
Maybe I'd better have both. No, I don't
wanna overdo it. Forget the tea.
:11:29
Yes, sir.
:11:32
Now, this supports your position
on Abbott v. Omnitech.
:11:35
Forget Omnitech.
:11:37
But it's at the top of the order list.
:11:40
- It's gonna get struck.
- Why?
:11:44
My brave brethren on the court
are too chicken-hearted to hear it.
:11:47
That's why. When I'm getting
ripped off, Mason,
:11:50
I want to know who's doing the ripping.
How much can these multinational
:11:53
monsters get away with?
I don't know. Neither do you,
:11:56
because they hide
behind all those TV commercials,
:11:59
saying how goddamn holy they are.
:12:02
Even the C.J. Is scared
to hear Omnitech.
:12:04
He says, "It's like telling God
you wanna examine the books."
:12:09
Peace, up to a point.
:12:11
Mason, the most dangerous
thing in the world is to be cautious.
:12:14
People who fall down are the
ones who are afraid they'll trip.
:12:18
- Take a chance.
- Yes, sir.
:12:20
And don't always agree.
If you think I'm wrong and don't say so,
:12:23
then what the hell good are you?
I like law clerks who argue with me.
:12:28
Yes, sir. No, sir.
:12:31
I mean, I'll try to do that, sir.
Not to do that, sir.
:12:34
- What's this?
- Collins v. California, the kinky one
:12:37
from the 9th Circuit, the Berkeley
student who wore a T-shirt that said
:12:41
"Fuck the White House".
:12:45
- Did he have his pants off?
- It doesn't say.
:12:48
I don't see any clear and
present danger that he intended
:12:51
to implement the opinion
of his T-shirt.
:12:53
The 9th Circuit held it was
offensive to public sensibility.
:12:57
Just being offensive
is not an offense.
:12:59
One man's pornography
may be another man's poetry.
