Changing Lanes Page #6

in municipal finance law

and public policy...

which is the area

I'm hoping to explore.

Although, I gotta tell you...

I do have an eye on public service.

I know how much this firm

supports pro bono work...

and I'd love to help on a

death penalty defense for the poor.

Why didn't I just

give him my insurance card?

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry. It's not your fault.

It's my fault.

Excuse me. Gavin?

This really weird fax

Just came in.

- I think you should look at it.

- Okay. Thank you.

Do you know what it means?

Michelle, I gotta talk to you.

Just a second.

What the hell--

Read this!

It's from the file.

He's got the file.

Help me.

Can I have a...

- bourbon, straight up?

- Sure.

Can I have a twist, please?

I'm not a partner here.

That actually doesn't bother me.

Partners have to bring in business.

I just gotta do my job.

If I don't like it here,

I can leave.

- What's not to like?

- Watching you become one of them.

I always thought you were cutting

a pretty big corner...

by convincing a dying old man

to sign a power of appointment.

- It wasn't like that.

- Are you sure it wasn't like that?

Of course I'm sure.

What?

He was in pretty bad shape

when I went to see him.

I mean, it was--

May be he didn't--

May be?

-May be he didn't understand exactly.

-Didn't understand exactly?

He didn't know exactly

what he was signing.

Walter and Steven said that...

Simon put too much faith

in his friends, and...

the board was in his pocket, and

it was better for the foundation...

if we could just help

control and manage the money.

Delano said that?

- Doesn't that sound reasonable?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Doesn't that sound reasonable?

- What's that supposed to mean?

That means that

without this file...

you'll be in more trouble than

your father-in-law and his partner.

You're the attorney of record.

You could actually

go to jail for this.

You need that file.

What am I gonna do?

There's this guy.

He helps out

with things that need...

helping out.

Like what?

Like things. Like...

getting people to do things

you want them to do...

when they don't necessarily

want to do them.

Where is he?

I need help.

Did you really believe

that it served Simon Dunne...

to sign those papers when

he was too weak to read them?

I wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Yes.

- Yes, I did.

- Do you want what's right?

Of course I do.

And what's right is your job,

your wife...

your life?

Where is he?

Don't go anywhere.

- Hey, where are you going?

- I'm going out.

I'm in a bar.

You want company?

That champagne feeling

gave you a hangover.

Are you drinking?

What happened in court today?

I'm in a bar.
