:56:03
Why? To evaporate.
:56:06
Did they? Yes.
:56:08
These chemicals never reached
Wells G and H - we will show that.

:56:14
And they never made anyone sick.
We will show that, too.

:56:18
The idea of criminal court
is crime and punishment.

:56:22
The idea of civil court
and personal injury law by nature -

:56:26
though no-one says it,
:56:28
Ieast of all
the personal injury lawyer himself -

:56:32
is money.
:56:34
Money for suffering.
Money for death.

:56:36
As if that
could somehow relieve suffering.

:56:39
As if that could somehow
bring dead children back to life.

:56:44
Every credit card application
we send, we get more in the mail.

actually shaped 12,000 years ago,

:57:02

Cancel all the legal journals.

:57:14
And tell the janitorial people
they're no longer required.

:57:18
We'll empty our own ashtrays.
:57:20
To understand what's going on
in the ground water system,

:57:24
we must start with the soil itself.
These are soil samples...

:57:28
So you see,
the Aberjona River valley...

:57:31
I...l can't send you
the entire balance right now.

:57:34
But perhaps we could work out
some sort of a deal.

:57:39
How much can I send you right now?
:57:42
Nothing.
:57:44
A plaintiff's case
depends on momentum.

:57:48
The fewer objections he gets,
the better his case will go.

:57:52
So whenever you can,
you should object.

:57:54
18 times yesterday, 20 today.
:57:57
They're not even his witnesses,
they're his.
