What is it that you want me
to do for you?

1:09:05
They work for the people
that we're trying to sue.

1:09:09
See, their job is to
minimize damages,

1:09:12
and ours is to try
and maximize them.

1:09:17
That's the way you have to
think of it, Nicole,

1:09:18
as people
doing their jobs.

1:09:20
There's no good guys
or bad guys.

1:09:22
There's just their side
and our side.

1:09:24
-l won't lie.
-l don't want you to lie.

1:09:28
No matter what l'm asked,
l'll tell the truth.

1:09:31
Of course.
l need you to tell the truth.

1:09:35
l'll be right there
to advise you.

1:09:38
There'll be a court stenographer
who will record everything.

1:09:41
That's what will go
to the judge before the trial.

1:09:45
lt'll be the same for everyone.
1:09:46
They'll be deposing
the Ottos, the Walkers,

1:09:49
Dolores, your mom and dad.
1:09:51
-l'll make sure you go last.
-Why?

1:09:55
So as you can
go on getting well,

1:09:57
so that you're able
to get up there and do this.

1:10:02
Because it won't be easy.
You do understand that?

1:10:07
When do they award the damages?
1:10:16
That depends. lt could drag on
for quite a while.

1:10:20
We'll be there at the end,
Sam, don't you worry.
