When I was 15 I ran away from home

thinking I could find myself in the

material world. I found only pain.

His Holiness Prakha Lasa teaches

that possessions transmit pain.

I want something far more valuable

than money, far more elusive for which

I'm giving up my physical being

and become one with the Universe.

And, uh, don't you think that's

just a little bit whacko?

Feel my heart.

You are unhappy.

You are anxious and unfulfilled

because you are not doing

with your life as you wish.

I am at peace.

Which one of us is crazy?

You are. Well, thank you.

Margo.

-Oh, Mr. Durand called.

He needs you to set up a Bermuda

Corporation so he can write off

his honeymoon. And a call...

-Forget it. I'm telling Schuyler today

he's gotta play me or trade me.

-Conference room with Miss Cutwater.

She's here?

-Also with her doctor, her nurse,

Mr. Mifflin, some English girl

with no bra. And a Hindu

holding a bedpan on a stick.

I don't think you should go in there.

We just have a little bit more left.

Are you strong enough to continue?

What? Oh, I'm fine.

Really. I'm fine. Tell them.

She could drop dead any minute.

Never mind her.

She's only trying

to make me feel good.

I'm very sorry to interrupt.

Madam, I wish to apologize

for upsetting you before.

Mr. Schuyler, if I could see you...

Mr. Cobb, please don't grovel.

-I'm not grovelling,

I'm apologizing.

If I could see you outside.

If you're trying to save your job,

you're too late.

What?

-It's quite lost by now.

Let me tell you something. My father

worked himself into an early grave

defending the rights of needy people

in his store front over on 9th Street.

When he died my mother took a job as

a plumber's assistant so I could go to

Iaw school and carry on in his name!

So now that the only job I can get

is in some skid-row legal aid office!

I'd just as soon take it as...

That's enough!

-... explore your energy vampire!

Suck out my fun of being a lawyer!

-Shut up! Now, that's enough!

I never heard such a moronic load

of crap in my life!

Well, I don't have to take that.

-No, not you, her. Did you hear

what she wants to do with her soul?

-Yeah.

Jesus Christ, she's is looney tune.

-She's nuts!

But you've got guts! I never saw you

stand up to anyone like that before.

You have a fire burning inside you.

To defend people who really need you.

And I never knew that

about your father or your mother.

I made that up.

-You did?

Yeah.

-Son-of-a-gun!

It was pretty good, huh?

-I like a man who thinks on his feet.

Well, thanks.

-Roger, I have a case that needs

a lawyer just like you. You win it

and I'll put you up for a partnership.

But not for an rich goofball.
