I'm doing my job.

Second, you should know

how the law works.

The fact that you don't know it

doesn't mean you can avoid

the consequences for breaking it.

If you kill someone and say:

"I didn't know I couldn't do that,"

YOU go to jail.

Maybe no one told you that,

but you'll go to jail anyway.

Get the picture?

That example is pretty inaccurate.

I'm supposed to know by heart

where I am not allowed to park,

whether the spaces are marked or not'?

Exactly.

That information

is available on the DMV website.

I see.

- Can you call your superior?

- There are none.

Really?

What are you?

The f***ing president?

Sir, there's a lot of people here.

If you're not going to pay,

please step aside.

How does it feel to be a crook?

Tell me.

Security, window 7!

Security?

Great!

I'm submitting a complaint,

exercising my rights as a citizen,

that makes me a criminal?

Want to call security?

Call security! Go ahead!

Call them now! Do it!

What are you doing?

Get off me!

Sign here, please.

- Hey, buddy.

- How are you?

They didn't rape you, did they?

This is unbelievable.

This is really... unbelievable.

It's crazy.

Seijas sent the company lawyer

to take care of everything.

Finally some goodwill,

because lately...

Maybe that's not the right word...

Your name is all over the news,

along with the company's name.

Seijas's partners aren't too happy.

The city government

is one of our biggest clients.

They're letting you go, Simn.

It's been decided.

You're currently unemployed,

Mr. Fischer.

Why, is that a crime?

I never said that.

But it sounded like

that's what you were implying.

It's not a crime,

but it is a problem

when you have to provide

for your family every month.

She's referring to child support,

which includes clothing,

tuition, medical insurance.

Excuse me.

I've supported my wife year round

ever since I met her.

And my daughter will always have

what she needs.

If I have a problem,

don't worry, I'll work it out.

Fortunately my client is now working,

so we don't see why Mr. Fischer

should have shared custody.

Excuse me.

I've been paying for everything

for years.

Just because this month

she's employed and I'm not,

I don't have the right

to joint custody of our daughter?

I hope the judge realizes

how unfair this situation is.

What the judge will realize

is how violent you are

when you refer to your wife...

What violence?

I'm describing reality,

where do you see violence?

I see violence all over the place,

Mr. Fischer.

I see violence on the streets,

when I turn on the TV.

And I see violence

in this newspaper article.

I'm convinced that less contact

a child has with this kind of event,
