Did you notice any changes
in Andrew's appearance -
1:40:06
- in the year
leading up to his termination?
1:40:10
- Yes, I did.
-were they for the better or worse?
1:40:15
Sometimes for the better,
but generally for the worse.
1:40:20
Mr. Seidman, what did you think
caused these changes in appearance?
1:40:26
I was afraid ...
1:40:30
I suspected Andy had AIDS.
1:40:33
- Order!
- Thank you. Your witness.
1:40:37
Did you share your suspicions
with any of the other partners -
1:40:45
- before the decision
to fire Andrew Beckett was made?
1:40:49
No, I didn't mention it to anyone.
Not even Andy.
1:40:56
I didn't even give him a chance
to talk about it.
1:41:01
And I think I'm going to regret that
for as long as I live.
1:41:06
- Any more questions?
- That's all.
1:41:09
They are saying
that he wasn't a good lawyer.
1:41:15
Yet they gave him a lawsuit for
one of their most important clients.
1:41:21
They say that doesn't prove
anything. It was just a test.
1:41:25
They call it a "carrot".
1:41:29
They wanted to see
if he would rise to the occasion.
1:41:32
Say I had to send up a pilot up
in a plane that cost $350 million.
1:41:39
Who am I gonna put in that plane?
1:41:43
Some rookie, to see
if he can rise to the challenge?
1:41:48
Or am I gonna give that assignment
to my best pilot?
1:41:52
My most experienced ... my top gun.
1:41:57
I just don't get that.
