:45:03
He'd say, dump it out
in the gully, like Joey.
:45:07
- Did Tom Barbas?
- Tommy? No, not Tommy, no.
:45:12
- Never did that?
- No, no.
:45:15
He dumped his in a ditch.
:45:23
Mr Barbas, I understand you've had
a chance to think about things
:45:28
since your first deposition.
:45:30
He says you said
to pour it into the pit.
:45:34
Is that how you remember it now?
:45:37
He just said, go out
and dig a trench...30 feet long.
:45:41
Load the barrels onto the truck,
:45:43
drive out and dump it
into the swimming pool.
:45:46
That's what we called it -
the swimming pool.
:45:53
Right.
:46:05
Mr Cheeseman, well done.
:46:09
The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer
winning in court
:46:12
are 2 to 1 against.
:46:14
Think about that for a second.
:46:16
Your odds of surviving a game
of Russian roulette are better.
:46:20
12 times better.
:46:23
So why does anyone do it?
:46:25
They don't. They settle.
:46:27
Out of the 780,000 cases
filed each year,
:46:35
The whole idea of lawsuits
is to settle,
:46:38
to compel the other side to settle.
:46:40
You do that by spending
more money than you should,
:46:44
forcing them to spend
more money than they should.
:46:47
And whoever
comes to their senses first...
:46:51
Ioses.
:46:53
Trials are a corruption
of the entire process.
:46:56
And only fools with something
to prove end up ensnared in them.
