You don't get paid?

- You've been working on this case for 6 months.

- That's the high stake world of personal injury law.

Arthur, c'mon. This has got to stop.

You need to start getting compensated for your time.

and I'm talking about actual money

I'm not talking about Fernando working

off your fee by doing the hedges

or king Popi giving you that car

truck thingie with the boat attachment

That's an 87 El Camino, babe. It's a chariot

Look, I know how hard it is for you to say no

but you're not working pro-bono at LegalAid anymore

-This job is supposed to pay

- Di, I'm taking every case I can possibly take

I'm taking criminal, divorce, liability

I'm practically chasing ambulances down the street.

What else do you want me to do?

No money, no work. It's very simple

- Where's the boy?

- He's in his room. Eddie, dinner!

I call for a boycott on all boys'

varsity sports events

until the culprits step forward

and take responsibility for their actions

we can no longer let this aggression stand

-What? I'm working.

-Dinner's ready.

-I'll eat later. I'm on a roll

Hey mom?

Can you just grab me a Red Bull?

Rob, do me a favor and read it aloud

"Another year dawns on Parker Prep

The 150th in the school history"

"For most students, it's a time to set

goals both academic and personal"

"a time to dream when everything seems possible."

- Keep going.

- That is the end of the article.

-No, it's not. It's continued on another page or something.

-I don't think so. There's a period there.

What's the matter, Gilman?

It's on the cover, isn't it?

- You cut the whole thing?

You had no right to do that!

- I told you what I wanted and that's what I printed.

You're just protecting your neanderthal friends.

It's the same reason you tabled my steroids story.

- That's not what a newspaper is for!

- You're in my area, Gilman. I'm warning you.

A newspaper is for everybody.

It's a public trust!

- I told the truth in that article.

- Back off, freak! I'm serious.

You think this is just gonna go away?

That this is just gonna be over?

We're still gonna get justice for

Schneeman, Riley. You can't stop us!

No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace!

It's gonna be a nightmare, Riley.

You think you can challenge me, huh?

You're out of your league. Nobody

cares what you think. You understand that?

You better watch your back.

Are you out of your mind?

I thought you wanted to go to Columbia for Journalism.

How is getting kicked off the

paper one week into school gonna help?

You know there are students with 4.0 averages,

who spend their summers workign with lepers in India

who have a hard time getting into college
