The Rainmaker Page #6

- I'm Delbert's wife.

- Who? How did you get in here?

- Birdie gave me the key.

I live here.

You have no right to be in here.

Get a grip.

Birdie wants to see you.

- What is this?

- You must be the lawyer.

- I'm Rudy Baylor.

- I'm Delbert, Birdie's youngest.

He yelled at me

and told me to get out.

- Is that so?

- Damn right.

I don't want neither one of you

going through my stuff.

I come to see Mama and she's got

a stinking lawyer living with her.

- You been messing with Mama's will?

- She's your mama, ask her.

- She won't say a word.

- Then neither can I.

That's a lawyer-client privilege.

But I'll tell you what...

I made a couple phone calls,

verified some accounts...

Your mama's second husband

left her an enormous fortune.

- How big?

- Big.

I hope you're not meddling, boy.

Mama, wouldn't you just love to come

and visit us in Florida for a while?

Mama, come in and get some cake.

We ain't but 180 miles away

from Disneyworld.

- How you feeling, Donny Ray?

- Great. Don't I look fantastic?

- You feel up to this?

- Yeah, let's go already.

A lawyer isn't supposed to become

personally involved with a client.

But there's all kinds of lawyers...

and all kinds of clients, too.

You okay, baby?

Can I get you guys anything else?

- You want something?

- I'll have a shot of Jack Daniels.

What's it gonna do, kill me?

- This is my friend Donny Ray.

- I'm so glad to have you here.

You just come right over here

and sit down. Have a rest.

You have me all blocked off here.

- Ms Birdie, my back's killing me.

- I almost forgot, this came for you.

- Oh, my God!

- Isn't it exciting?

- I'm so proud of you.

- I passed the bar.

Here's to Rudy.

Congratulations on passing the bar.

- What the hell is that?

- Iced tea.

You did good work. I got a cheque

today from the van Landel settlement.

I'm giving you a bonus.

$5,500 each.

- Thank you.

- Sign up some more cases.

Are we gonna be ready

for tomorrow morning? Nine o'clock?

We're gonna argue

Great Benefit's motion to dismiss.

I think we're ready.

Deck and I have been going over it.

I think we're ready.

I hope so, because I might have you

handle some of that argument, Rudy.

It would be awfully embarrassing

if we lose this case on a dismissal.

Boss?

I got to go.

The food's on me.

- Enjoy your meat.

- Thanks, Bruiser. Appreciate it.

Something's about to go down.

He never split money like that before.

- What's behind this generosity?

- Come on, man.

Oh yeah?

One of his ex-partners testified.

I think he cut a deal.

- He's gonna be singing on Bruiser.

- So what?

- You're gonna have to make a move.

- I just got here.

Things might get a little hot.
