Bending the Rules
I thought we'd agree
we only use the Hawk in an emergency.
This is an emergency. Hurry.
I have a facial and massage at 1 :30.
Honey, this car represents
the last fragile thread of dignity...
...holding my family together.
Take my car. Park in my spot.
Theo.
I thought on people's birthdays, other
people are supposed to do what they want.
meant not acting 7.
I'm pretty sure that you are having lunch
with the next DA.
Great. And you'll still earn less
than our gardener...
...and I'll still be paying for lunch
with my parents' credit card.
Jeez, Kelly, come on. Don't do this.
Just give me today. You're the one who
wants to live in a house big enough for 12.
You're the one who has the spa thing.
Not me.
I'm leaving.
I'm not done yet.
Leaving you.
Actually, you're the one leaving
since my parents own the house.
I'll give you one week
to get your things and get out.
Today you do this? Today?
On my birthday?
- The biggest day of my career?
- What about the 15 years...
...I've wasted on someone
going precisely nowhere?
Kelly, come on.
Wait a minute. What about the kids?
I can't live without my kids.
Really? And how many hours do you
spend with them on any given week?
- Two?
- Everything I do is because of them.
Finkle, Harbin, and Klotz offered you
three times what the DA's job pays.
- And you turned it down.
- Money isn't everything.
I believe in what I do. Is that so wrong?
And I believe in private school.
Is that so wrong?
Yeah? Okay.
They want me back.
- Right away, sir.
- Good.
Because I don't.
I'm sorry.
Please remember
to put the cover back on the Hawk.
- Good nap, counsel?
- Sorry.
I've received the following note
from the jurors.
We are split 6-6 as to all counts.
