:42:06
No further questions.
:42:09
Members of the jury,
what you've seen here is a little unusual.
:42:13
Mr. Grazier's presence on the stand should not
influence you to find for or against his client.
:42:20
You may step down.
:42:24
Your Honor,
plaintiff calls Anthony Patricola.
:42:28
- Who the hell is Anthony Patricola?
- I've never heard of him.
:42:31
His name was there.
You must have missed it.
:42:34
I'm sure I gave it to you,
along with a bunch of other papers.
:42:38
Looked like the goddamn
Library of Congress.
:42:45
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
:42:49
- I do.
- Be seated and state your name.
:42:54
Anthony Patricola.
:42:57
What do you do for a living, Mr. Patricola?
:42:59
I am the chief accountant in the risk
management division of Argo Motors.
:43:05
Are you what is affectionately
called a "bean counter"?
:43:08
Yes, sir.
:43:11
- Are you the head bean counter?
- Yes, sir.
:43:14
- So you see a lot of reports in your job?
- Yes.
:43:18
- You take these reports and make...
- Bitch.
:43:22
You gave him Patricola.
:43:28
I'm sorry, Michael.
I guess it's in the genes.
:43:31
...a defective part.
:43:34
You make a decision whether
to replace that part in a recall
:43:37
or suffer the consequences of a lawsuit,
whichever's cheaper.
:43:41
Is that correct?
:43:42
I don't make the decisions,
I just analyze the reports.
:43:47
Reports, yes.
Let's talk about them.
:43:49
Do you recall one questioning the safety
of the 1985 Meridian model?
:43:56
Yes.
