(0.00 / 0 votes)Folks, we've been here
for a long time now,
listening to people talk
for months.
Complicated medical testimony.
A lot of emotion in this case.
There is not a person
in this room who isn't sorry
about what happened
to Mr. Matthews.
It's a tragedy.
And when something
like this happens,
you desperately want
to blame someone, don't you?
Someone else.
We understand that.
It's natural.
But what have we got here?
What's the bottom line?
It's Mr. Matthews' word
against the East Shore Hospital,
isn't it?
That's exactly what it is.
Now, obviously,
would want to believe
Mr. Matthews...
believe that he told the
admitting nurse, Mrs. Valdez
that he was diabetic.
It would seem... poetic
that someone else was to blame.
It would feel right.
But it wouldn't be fair.
Let's-let's think for a second.
It's not some, some big bad
hospital corporation.
We're talking
about human beings.
Four doctors, five nurses,
present at the time.
All of them there
for no other purpose
than to try and save
Jonathan Matthews' life.
Now, this is painful,
and I don't like doing this,
but if we're all going to do
our jobs,
I've got to bring this up again.
Mr. Matthews is an alcoholic.
In July of 1979,
And, you know, even I was
surprised to learn
from the plaintiff's
own doctors, ironically,
that this tragedy
could have been caused
by the abuse of alcohol.
So here's my point:
We all understand why
Mr. Matthews is blaming
the hospital...
but nobody could have prevented
Mr. Mathews' suffering
except Mr. Matthews.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
not the table I ordered.
I'm-I'm having a party
on Friday,
and the table sitting
in my dining room
looks like a goddamned turtle.
We find for the defendant
on all counts.
Henry, that was great.
Bruce.
See you back at the office.
Mr. Matthews, everyone.
Bottoms up.
Mr. Cameron?
Hi, thanks.
Mm-hmm.
Like father, like son.
Yeah, the old bastard
would have loved this one, huh?
Only if he'd pulled it off.
Mr. Turner.
If Maxwell calls,
tell him we won East Shore,
and he owes me 50.
Mm-hmm.
Don't give me this now.
Cancel my lunch tomorrow.
I'm going to work through,
and move the dinner
to next week.
Go ahead and pull the file
on Briggs v. Gordon.
Oh, what about
the Rosenberg brunch...
May I finish, please?
I need that Martinson deposition
on my desk
by 9:
00 tomorrow morning.Mm-hmm.
Hmm, and call my wife
and tell her I can't make dinner
at 7:
30.Mm-hmm.
Tell her to call the Who'sits
and make it 8:
30 instead.Yes, sir.
Because you're responsible.
And if you can't learn
to respect
other people's things,
then we're going to have
a big problem.
Now, you're not to leave
this room tonight.
You understand?
The sooner we get there,
the sooner we can leave.
- You ready?
- Mm-hmm.
Rosella, we're going now.
Good night, missus.
Keys?
Got 'em.
I can't.
Next week, all of our relatives
are coming in.
George, you should get a boat.
Oh, oh, and just send
them away, huh? I like that.
Last year when
Sarah's relatives came in,
we chartered this boat...
Oh, God, the boat, the boat.
You take them out.
You feed them.
They stare at the
Statue of Liberty.
Everybody's happy
and nobody talks.
They don't even realize
they're not having
a conversation.
The only reason I came
was because it said "two. "
In the paper, two fireplaces.
Right. So finally, I get there,
and she says,
"Oh, no, that's wrong,
