people can homestead without demanding me? - Yes.

I'll get some water to stop that bleeding.
No, thanks, ma'am. It will stop.
Mother, what do you think of
my first client?
I think you're crazy.
- I see that I don't need to tell you about
our confidential discussion. - No, I heard all.
I can't think of a better way of driving away
business than to take the case of an Indian!
You're probably right.
Well for Heaven's sake, why did
you do it?! We got to be practical!
Father was the best lawyer I ever knew.
