The Rainmaker Page #3

- He's got a lot of overhead.

His jet is getting old.

Just draw it up the way I asked,

and bring it back so I can review it.

Here's the hustlers when they were

still young and sweet. Cut, cut, cut.

- You come back now.

- Oh, I will.

- Thank you.

- No, thank "you".

- Is that a little apartment back there?

- It used to be. Do you like my garden?

- It's fine. Do you do the work yourself?

- A boy cuts the grass once a week.

30 dollars, can you believe it?

It used to be five.

Are you interested in renting it out?

I couldn't afford much, though.

You could have it reasonably,

if you'd assist me with a few chores.

- Perhaps a little weed-pulling.

- Weed-pulling's my speciality.

I go to hospitals all the time.

Bruiser has contacts at the precinct.

- They feed him accident reports.

- Can I ask you something?

What does Bruiser expect me to do?

You get the case, find the victims,

sign them up. Put the case together.

- So I should solicit?

- What did they teach you in school?

- Not to chase ambulances.

- Learn quick, or you'll starve.

No problem. Ask your doctor,

we can admit you here.

- Nice flowers.

- Thanks.

- William.

- How you doing, Deck?

- Dr Wells.

- Good morning.

Don't act like a lawyer.

"Do not enter. "

- How you doing, Mr McKenzie?

- How are my tests?

Gall bladder. Wrong fish.

Mr van Landel...

Good afternoon, Mr van Landel.

Can you hear me?

Hi.

- Who are you?

- Deck Shifflet, paralawyer.

You haven't talked

to any insurance companies?

Don't, they're just out to screw you.

Do you have a lawyer?

My firm handles tons of car wrecks.

Insurance companies are afraid of us,

and we don't charge a dime.

- Can you wait till my wife gets back?

- Your wife?

Sorry.

I'm very sorry, Mr van Landel.

- Where is your wife?

- She'll be back in a little while.

I'll have to talk to her in my office.

Just sign right there.

You only talk to your doctor. People

will be offering you settlements.

I do not want you to sign anything

without me reviewing it first.

My number is on this card.

Rudy Baylor's number is on the back.

Call that number for him anytime.

Any questions? Good,

we're gonna get you a bunch of money.

- Let's go.

- I'm real sorry.

I'd like to be alone, please.

And that is how it's done.

Piece of cake.

What if the guy had a lawyer?

We came with nothing. If he'd

thrown us out, what have we lost?

Dignity? A little self-respect?

In law school, they don't teach you

what you need to know.

It's all theories and lofty notions

and big, fat ethics books.

- What's wrong with ethics?

- Nothing, I guess.

You should fight for your client, refrain

from stealing money, and try not to lie.
