Class Action Page #2

- So what do we do, guys?

- Settle, for chump change.

- Confidentiality clause, don't tell the papers.

- No, we have to win in public.

LorCoTron is a very conscientious

company, very consumer-oriented.

This LorCoTron thing is time-critical.

You can't...

OK, OK!

If I decide we fight it,

one of you will be on point.

It's good input.

Thanks for your time.

My hobby is rebuilding American cars...

Get outta here!

Michael.

You have to give me this case.

I know Argo backwards and forwards.

I'm a better litigator

than any other associate

and you're too busy to go to court

on all the prep work.

Bernstein has a lot going for him.

He's a team player.

Second team.

Maggie!

Please! This is the partnership express.

I deserve this.

- Why are you throwing lightweights at me?

- Look. OK. OK!

I want you on this one.

There's no question.

- There's a problem.

- What?

Plaintiff's attorney's your father.

Yeah? What's wrong?

- We got no case.

- Sure we have a case. Look at the facts.

I've looked. Looked at the probability charts

backwards and forwards, Jed.

The facts are that Argo built a half a million

Meridians and a few of them blew up.

132 cars?

On a half a million built,

that's only a few cars.

That's not that many more

than would have blown up no matter what.

Maybe Argo designed it wrong, maybe they

didn't. But that doesn't make a case.

Hey, I got a car that blows up, people

like Steven who almost died in 'em.

I got a car company that doesn't give a sh*t.

To me that makes a case.

Rosenberg Blittman had everything

that we have. They had it for three years.

They dropped the case.

Couldn't find anything.

Billy Blittman couldn't find

his butt with both hands.

That's true, but it's a contingency case, Jed.

Even if we win, we see no money for years.

Can we afford that?

Hey, I know it's not a slam dunk, Nick.

Once in a while, you just gotta go

with your gut, the passion.

I got a real feeling about this one.

Network news-time.

- Jed, I like seeing you on TV. Really...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's not about my ego.

It's about us. What we stand for.

This firm was built on David and Goliath

cases. They're not around any more.

All these fascist Reagan judges

hear you're after a big corporation,

they throw your ass right out of court.

It's too discouraging.

Something like this comes along.

Good plaintiffs, decent evidence.

Ajudge who'll listen.

I gotta tell you,

I've gone to war with a lot less.

It would be fun

to nail those Argo bastards to the wall.

- Wanna kick their asses?

- I believe so.

Just once, I'd like to see you

sleep through the night.

- Miss these great movies?

- They are on cassette.
