grandmother's antique chest?

We'll find the right spot

for it.

You'll be amazed how much

room there is

once we get rid of that piano.

Wait, I thought that was

still up for negotiation?

You told me you don't have time

to play it anymore.

It contradicts my vision.

You have to trust me.

Interior design isn't just

my job, it's my calling.

Let me turn our home

into a work of art.

I want you to be happy.

Whatever you need to make

that happen, go ahead.

I have to go.

I'll see you later for dinner?

That new French place

on Madison.

Maybe we could eat in sometime?

Duck a l'orange, take out.

Yeah.

See ya.

Thank you.

Morning, Hector.

I got you a little surprise.

Why, thank you, Annie.

May I call you Annie?

What else would you call me?

Thoughtful, considerate.

That works.

It's a very elegant apartment.

It's a little cold

for my taste, but...

I trust you slept well.

I got up at dawn.

I can't help it,

you know?

It's just in my genes.

Plus all the honking

and the sirens...

we don't have a lot

of that in Iowa.

I gotta be honest with you,

Hector.

I didn't sleep a wink.

I was pretty nervous

about today.

May I ask you a question?

Of course, ask away.

How long have you worked

for Ben?

Since he was a junior executive,

and there was always

something special about him.

He was polite, he was friendly,

he was completely different

from the privileged young men

who were his competition.

He worked harder

than anyone else.

It was like he was

chasing a dream.

Looks like he finally

fulfilled that dream.

I just wish he was happier.

Are you alright?

Yeah, just ready

to move forward.

Ok.

All rise.

Mr. McAllister.

Back in my courtroom

so soon?

Yes, your honour.

But I was told Judge Norton

was going to be presiding.

He had an emergency.

You're stuck with me.

Well, this shouldn't take up

too much of your time.

Let's hope not.

Proceed.

15 years ago, Benjamin Lawson

and Annabelle Hancock

were married.

That marriage was annulled

or so we thought.

Why the confusion?

The annulment papers

were sent in,

but there's no record of

them ever being finalized.

I discovered this fact

while writing his pre-nup.

Mr. Lawson needs to be legally

divorced as soon as possible.

He's getting married Saturday.

This Saturday?

Yes, your honour.

So I'm citing special

circumstances

and asking that you grant

them an immediate divorce.

You realize what would happen

if I obliged every attorney

with the same request?

I need to hear

from the couple.

How did this occur?

Miss Hancock and I eloped

but her father felt

we were too young.

How young?

Annie was 18,

I was 19.

Both of legal age.
