:31:10
Would you like a cup of tea?
:31:14
Tea would be nice.
:31:37
May l sit down for a minute?
l want to talk to you.

:31:45
The Walkers spoke highly of you.
:31:48
You've been retained.
:31:54
Their child died,
and they got a lawyer?

:31:56
My task is to represent
the Walkers...

:31:59
only in their anger,
not their grief.

:32:02
Who did they get for that?
:32:05
You're angry,
aren't you, Mrs. Otto?

:32:11
That's why l'm here.
:32:13
To give your anger a voice.
:32:15
To be your weapon
against whoever...

:32:17
caused that bus
to go off the road.

:32:21
Dolores.
:32:22
Dolores was doing exactly
what she's done for years.

:32:27
Besides, the school board's
insurance was minimal,

:32:29
a few million at most.
:32:33
The really deep pockets
are in the town...

:32:35
or the company
that made the bus.

:32:38
So you think someone else
caused the accident?

:32:41
Mrs. Otto, there is
no such thing as an accident.

:32:47
The word doesn't mean anything.
:32:49
As far as l'm concerned,
:32:52
somebody somewhere made
a decision to cut a corner.

:32:57
Some corrupt agency
or corporation...
