ain't you?

- Ain't you?

- Yes.

I mean, you better. Because if this

was a bar fight and he needed me...

...I'd slice some nuts. Pop, he busted

his guts 30 years in that f***ing mill.

- He did it all for us here, you know?

- I know that, Karchy.

- Well, what's going on?

- Well, I have to put the case together.

He ain't no f***ing case, he's Pop.

Now, you're gonna have

to slice some nuts here.

Karchy, why do you always

have to talk so crude?

What? You know another way of slicing

nuts without being crude?

I'm gonna have to get crude here.

Go to work.

I just don't want you losing clients

because I'm working out of this office.

I'll work out of my

ex-father-in-law's office.

- She returns to Harry Talbot.

- Just for the trial.

Here, these are Monday's hearings.

- These trials last for years, Ann.

- Oh, not this one, Mackie.

Harry was in the OSS during the war,

you know.

And the OSS becomes the CIA.

And the CIA sets up its first little

spy apparatus in Europe...

...by putting a bunch of Gestapo guys

on the payroll.

Word is Harry used to sip his bourbon

with Klaus Barbie.

Well, now, the word I heard was that

he sipped bourbon with senators.

He even sipped bourbon

in the White House a couple times.

I never heard anything

about Klaus Barbie.

Those are all next week.

Why don't you get somebody else

to represent your father?

Get that guy from Cleveland.

He handled that Dimuna...

That Demjena... That Dimjolt guy,

whatever his name was.

Take it easy.

He wants me to represent him.

What do you know about

40 years ago...

...in a part of the world

you've never been?

What do we know about our parents?

Oh, I know him, Mackie.

He raised me.

Have you ever thought about

his fantasies?

- How he makes love?

- Oh, Lord.

I don't understand why

you can't work out of here.

Maybe she's afraid you're gonna be

going through her drawers.

- God knows I tried.

- Very funny, Sandy.

This isn't funny, Annie.

This is Uncle Sam's big truck...

...coming down full-bore.

- Hi, Harry.

- So we finally got you back, did we?

After all these years of your

ethnic airs about working up here.

Mrs. Cooper will take care

of everything for you. Bourbon for me.

Dean likes yuppie drinks. Sometimes

the apple falls far from the tree.

We got our judge.

- Erwin Silver.

- Silver, you kidding?

I wish a jury could hear this.

A daughter defending her father

would strike them as heartrending.

It's not gonna strike Erwin Silver

as heartrending, I'll tell you.

- All I know about him is that he's fair.

- Sure he is.

I don't care that he's Jewish,

I care that he's fair.

I care that he's fair.

Ln this case, I also care
