No, it's not the same.

You're freezing.

Michael.

- Do you like me?

- What?

- Do I like you?

- Yeah.

- What kind of a question's that? Of course.

- Surprise.

How can you not know that?

How can I know that?

How can anybody?

Tomorrow, if I did something you

really hated, would you still be here?

Listen. Come here.

Listen to me.

That's not the way these things work.

I'm not your father.

- This has nothing to do with him.

- Yes, it does.

Maggie. I want this to work.

I really do.

I trust you. And you want

to know if you can trust me.

All right.

Give this place up.

Live with me. Mm?

No, Michael. We said we'd talk

about that after I make partner.

- Maybe we need to talk about it now.

- No.

It might help

but I'm just not ready to go public yet.

You don't think they suspect?

Suspecting is different

from being on the mailing list.

- Who cares what they think?

- I do.

- Why?

- Because it's different for a woman.

I don't want them saying I made partner

for anything other than my work.

Maybe I should be the one

asking how much you like me.

No.

Oh, no!

No, come on.

One anxiety attack at a time.

Your turn, is it?

Oh, OK.

- Who's Cyd Charisse?

- Deborah, your dad's new intern.

- She's really great.

- Aren't they all?

Ah, come on!

Good luck with the school board.

Luck I got. Votes I need. Thanks a lot.

Mom! Hiya.

Mom, come on. You're the bride. You're

supposed to be having a good time. Relax.

- It's my petition. Are you having fun?

- Yeah, I haven't talked to Dad all evening.

- Maggie!

- Maggie, be nice.

- Maggie, I got one for you.

- Stop that.

Weems versus United States, 1910.

What was the issue?

Damn, a pop quiz

and me without a blue book.

These are the easy ones. Come on!

Cruel and unusual punishment.

- They put a guy in chains for 15 years.

- That's absolutely right.

- OK, so you do know everything.

- That's right also.

Terrific, everybody's right.

Jed, why don't you and Maggie dance?

You promised! Excuse me, but rumor

has it this used to be a party.

- Come on, Nick, dance with me.

- All right.

- Jed, dance with Maggie.

- All right, but you're a party pooper.

- One more, one more.

- What?

1941. Kemper v Walden. Issue?

- Come on, issue!

- All right, all right.

- Issue!

- All right, all right, wait!

- I haven't the vaguest idea.

- The court ruled

that children have the right

to sue their parents for nonperformance.

The guy in the peach trunks, Nature Boy

Rick Flair, I represented him once.

- He used to wrestle under the name of...

- Son of Satan.

Son of Satan. Right.

He had the horns, he had the pitch fork,

the whole shot.

He had a great thing going

with a guy named the Angel of God.
