no actual medical training?

4
00:00:54,889 --> 00:00:58,935
No. I have kids.
Learned a lot right there.

5
00:00:59,727 --> 00:01:03,648
I mean, I've seen nurses
give my son throat cultures...

6
00:01:03,731 --> 00:01:07,735
And, what is it? You stick a giant
Q-tip down their throat and wait.

7
00:01:07,818 --> 00:01:12,573
Or a urinalysis, where you take a dipstick to
see whether or not the white count's high.

00:01:12,657 --> 00:01:13,658
DOCTOR:
Yes, I understand.

9
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:16,202
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm great with people.

10
00:01:16,285 --> 00:01:19,914
You'd have to observe me to know for
sure, but you can trust me on that.

11
00:01:20,706 --> 00:01:22,625
Yeah. I'm an extremely
fast learner.

12
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:26,295
You show me something in a lab
once, and I've got it down.

13
00:01:26,379 --> 00:01:30,758
Mmm-hmm. I always wanted
to go to medical school.

14
00:01:30,841 --> 00:01:33,010
You see, that was my
first interest really,

15
00:01:33,094 --> 00:01:37,014
but then I got married and had a kid too
young and that kind of blew that but...

out of high school,

17
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,770
I got a job with FIuor Engineers
and Constructors in Irvine.

18
00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:45,022

with geology.

Yeah.

20
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:51,237
I learned how to read maps.
I love maps.

21
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:54,448
Yeah,
but I lost myjob because

22
00:01:54,532 --> 00:01:57,702
my boy came down with the
chickenpox, had a 104 temperature,

23
00:01:57,785 --> 00:02:00,162
and my ex-husband
was useless, so...

00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:54,381
Yes, I'm holding for Ed Masry.

177
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:56,174
Well, is he ever
in the office?

178
00:11:56,466 --> 00:11:58,635
No, but I've called
about a dozen times.

179
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:00,637
Yes, I'd like to
leave another message.

180
00:12:00,721 --> 00:12:04,433
Brockovich.
B-r-o-c-k-o-v-i-c-h.

181
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:08,437
I'm a client. I want him to call me.
It's as simple as that.

182
00:12:12,149 --> 00:12:13,400
Okay.

183
00:12:13,483 --> 00:12:15,319
(SIGHING)

184
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:28,081
(GASPING)

185
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:30,000
Goddamn it!

186
00:12:31,209 --> 00:12:32,878
Brenda! Brenda!

187
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:34,004
Yeah?

188
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:35,839
Who put that there?

189
00:12:36,506 --> 00:12:38,425
Those are the files
you asked for.

190
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,969
I didn't ask for you to put
it in the middle of the floor.

191
00:12:41,053 --> 00:12:42,137
I mean, look at me.

192
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:43,472
Get a towel,
will you get...

193
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:44,848
Hey, hey...

194
00:12:47,184 --> 00:12:48,310
Hey,
what's she doing here?

195
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:49,478
Who?

196
00:12:53,941 --> 00:12:55,025
Donald.

197
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,862
What's she doing here?

198
00:12:59,071 --> 00:13:00,322
She works here.

199
00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:15,837
Erin, how's it going?

200
00:13:17,005 --> 00:13:19,758
You never called me back.
I left messages.

201
00:13:19,841 --> 00:13:22,386
You did?
Well, I didn't know that, eh...

202
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,054
Donald seems to think
that you...

203
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,223
There's two things that
aggravate me, Mr. Masry,

204
00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:28,850
being ignored
and being lied to.

205
00:13:28,934 --> 00:13:29,977
IneverHed.

206
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,645
You told me
things would be fine.

207
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:33,563
They're not.
I trusted you.

208
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:34,648
ED: I'm sorry about that,
I really am...

209
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:37,067
I don't need pity,
I need a paycheck.

210
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:38,360
And I've looked,

211
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:40,487
but when you've spent the
past six years raising babies,

212
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:43,115
it's real hard to convince someone to
give you a job that pays worth a damn.

213
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:46,868
Are you getting every word of this down,
honey, or am I talking too fast for you?

214
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:51,665
ED: I'm sorry about that, I really am,
but we have a full staff right now...

215
00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:53,208
Bullshit! If you
had a full staff,

216
00:13:53,291 --> 00:13:56,086
this office would return
a client's damn phone call.

217
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,797
I'm smart,
I'm hard-working,

218
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,758
and I'll do anything,
and I'm not leaving here without a job.

219
00:14:14,730 --> 00:14:16,189
(SOFTLY)
Don't make me beg.

220
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:19,776
If it doesn't work out,
fire me.

221
00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:22,946
Don't make me beg.

222
00:14:28,994 --> 00:14:30,620
No benefits.

223
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:37,419
What we do in here
is file all the cases.

224
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:40,797
And in that way, at any time,
we can tell the status of a file.

225
00:14:41,631 --> 00:14:44,134
You know, where it is in the
office, stuff like that.

226
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:47,512
And here's where we organize
all the files alphabetically.

227
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,598
Simple enough.
Okay.

228
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:52,100
And here's your desk.
Okay.

229
00:14:52,184 --> 00:14:53,435
And, Iwant you
to come with me.

230
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:54,895
I want to show you
where the Xerox machine is.

231
00:14:54,978 --> 00:14:57,397
Everybody has a code,
and you need to know about that.

232
00:14:57,481 --> 00:14:58,857
Do I get to pick
my own code?

233
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:00,150
We'll see.

234
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:03,904
ERIN: Mr. Masry?

235
00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:05,822
Come.

236
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,700
I was wondering,
can you tell me who I talk to

237
00:15:08,784 --> 00:15:12,162
about maybe getting an advance on
my paycheck, just for the weekend?

238
00:15:12,829 --> 00:15:18,210
Rosalind's the office manager.
She handles the payroll and petty cash.

239
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:22,464
But she's gone already.
She leaves early on Fridays.

240
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:27,928
Okay. Thank you.

241
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:29,721
ED: Oh, for Pete's sake,
here, here.

242
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:35,018
I've only got hundreds.

243
00:15:37,354 --> 00:15:38,355
ED: Here.

00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:39,439
(CLEARING THROAT)

245
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,401
I don't want your money,
Mr. Masry. I can really...

246
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:46,029
Where do you think your
paycheck comes from? Here.

247
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:48,865
Have a good weekend.
Thank you.

248
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:50,534
See you.

See you. Good night.

250
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:54,955

Well, uh, I don't know.

We were just introducing ourselves
to the neighborhood, Iguess.

Well, I'm the neighbors.

269
00:17:17,287 --> 00:17:20,207
There, we're introduced,
so shut the fuck up.

My name's George.
What's yours?

274
00:17:28,924 --> 00:17:32,469
Just think of me as the person
next door who likes it quiet.

Hey, come on.
Don't be like that.

276
00:17:35,138 --> 00:17:38,225
Hell, we live next door to each other.
I feel bad. I feel terrible.

277
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:40,435
I'm sorry.
Will you accept my apology?

278
00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:42,938
I mean, hell, we're living
right next door to each other.

279

If you need a cup of sugar,
or some cream...

280
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:45,565
I don't need sugar.

281
00:17:45,649 --> 00:17:49,277
You don't need any sugar? Why don't I take you
out to dinner to apologize for my rudeness?

282
00:17:49,653 --> 00:17:54,241
Huh? You give me your number. I already
got your address, so you can't get away.

and I'll ask you out and everything.

I do.
I do want your number.

287

George?

288

"George," now I like the
way you say that, "George."

289

Ah, well, how many numbers
you got?

290
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:15,929
Oh, I got numbers coming out
of my ears. For instance, ten.

291
00:18:16,263 --> 00:18:17,764
"Ten"?
Yeah.

292
00:18:17,847 --> 00:18:20,058
That's how many months old
my baby girl is.

293
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:22,686
You got a little girl?
Yeah.

294
00:18:23,144 --> 00:18:24,271
Yeah. Sexy, huh?

295
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:25,939
How about this
for a number, six?

296
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:29,276
That's how old my other daughter is.
Eight is the age of my son.

297
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,112
Two is how many times I've
been married and divorced.

298
00:18:32,195 --> 00:18:34,572
Sixteen is the number of dollars
I have in my bank account.

299
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:39,286
850-3943. That's my phone number,
and with all the numbers I gave you,

300
00:18:39,369 --> 00:18:41,955
I'm guessing zero is the number
of times you're gonna call it.

301
00:18:43,248 --> 00:18:46,334
Hey, how do you remember your bank balance
off the top of your head like that?

302
00:18:46,418 --> 00:18:47,711
See? That impresses me.

303
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,755
You're dead wrong about
that zero thing, baby.

ERIN: How long has she
been crying like that?

306
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:07,647
She's got that tooth coming in. Why don't
you give her a cold washcloth to suck on?

307
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:10,233
I gotta go. There's a clean one in the bag.
I'll check back later.

308
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:11,985
Where's Anna?

309
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:14,070
Hmm, she's out
to lunch with the girls.

00:19:14,738 --> 00:19:15,739
Oh...

311
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,908

You know how to do that,
don't you?

315
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:27,208
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
No problem.

316
00:19:31,546 --> 00:19:32,589
You're a girl.

317
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:35,967
Excuse me?

318
00:19:36,051 --> 00:19:38,345
Why aren't you out
to lunch with the girls?

319
00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:39,679
You're a girl.

320
00:19:41,306 --> 00:19:43,099

I'm not the right kind.

321
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:46,519
Oh.

322
00:19:48,772 --> 00:19:52,484
Uh, look, now,
you may want...

323
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:55,987
Now that you're working
here, you may want to, uh,

324
00:19:56,071 --> 00:19:57,697
rethink your wardrobe
a little.

325
00:19:59,783 --> 00:20:00,867
Why is that?

326
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:03,411
Well, Ithink
some of the girls

327
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:06,164
are a little uncomfortable

328
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:07,957
because of what you wear.

329
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:11,795
Is that so?

330
00:20:12,837 --> 00:20:16,299
Well, itjust so happens,
I think I look nice.

331
00:20:17,092 --> 00:20:19,552
And as long as I have
one ass instead of two,

332
00:20:19,636 --> 00:20:22,389
I'll wear what I like,
if that's all right with you.

333
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:29,396
Uh-huh.

334
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,774
You might want to
rethink those ties.

335
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,583
Anna? Would this real estate
stuff... Could you remind me?

336
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:53,128
Because I'm a little confused
exactly how we do it.

337
00:20:53,211 --> 00:20:56,381
Why are there medical
records and blood samples

338

in real estate files?

00:20:57,841 --> 00:20:59,759
Erin, you've been
here long enough.

to do yourjob by now,

they're gonna have to pay for it."

of selling this house,

They did?

00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:07,301
plus, of course,
any type of cancer.

520
00:32:07,968 --> 00:32:10,971
So, that stuff,
it kills people?

521
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:14,767
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Highly toxic, highly carcinogenic.

522
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:17,895
It gets into your DNA, too, so you
pass the trouble along to your kids.

523
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:19,146
It's very, very bad.

524
00:32:19,230 --> 00:32:20,648
What's it used for?

525
00:32:21,315 --> 00:32:22,358
A rust inhibitor.

526
00:32:22,817 --> 00:32:25,945
See, the utility plants use these
piston engines to compress the gas.

527
00:32:26,028 --> 00:32:28,114
As the engines get hot,
you've got to run water through them.

528
00:32:28,197 --> 00:32:29,907
Chromium's in the water
to prevent corrosion.

529
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:34,370
Well, how do I find out what kind
of chromium they use in Hinkley?

530
00:32:34,703 --> 00:32:36,122
Have you been to
their water board?

Every county has one.

533
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:41,544
They keep records of anything
water-related within their jurisdiction.

534
00:32:41,627 --> 00:32:43,295
You should be able to
find something there.

535
00:32:43,379 --> 00:32:46,757
County water board?
All righty. Thanks.

557

You just tell me what you want to look at,
and I'd be glad to dig them out for you.

of papers from all kinds of places.

probably be easiest

from UCLA.
Oh, yeah?

701
00:43:19,264 --> 00:43:23,602
He wanted you to know that the
legal limit for hexavalent chromium

00:43:24,019 --> 00:43:26,104
is .05

863
00:52:28,354 --> 00:52:30,481
A million would
have been an offer.

864
00:52:30,565 --> 00:52:34,694
They sent a mail clerk down
to jerk me off, waste my time!

865
00:52:34,777 --> 00:52:37,155
Why would they do that?
Because they can.

866
00:52:37,238 --> 00:52:40,825
You heard what that kid said.
They have $28 billion at their disposal!

867
00:52:40,908 --> 00:52:42,827
They can afford to waste
all the time in the world.

868
00:52:42,910 --> 00:52:43,953
And you can't?

869
00:52:44,037 --> 00:52:46,039
You think I'm made of money?
What are you yelling at me for?

870
00:52:46,122 --> 00:52:48,333
Because I'm pissed off!
Good!

871
00:52:49,083 --> 00:52:51,419
Fuck you!
Fuck you back!

872
00:52:52,045 --> 00:52:55,673
(LAUGHING)

873
00:53:01,262 --> 00:53:03,723
I really hate you sometimes,
you know that?

874
00:53:03,806 --> 00:53:05,808
Ah, you love me.

875
00:53:05,892 --> 00:53:07,769
(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

876
00:53:09,437 --> 00:53:11,397
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

877
00:53:17,779 --> 00:53:19,822
You've been reading
for hours.

878
00:53:20,365 --> 00:53:22,033
I'm a slow reader.

879
00:53:36,422 --> 00:53:38,341
MAN: Uh, Erin Brockovich?

880
00:53:44,597 --> 00:53:47,558
That's probably her
at that desk.

881
00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:54,023
Excuse me.

882
00:53:54,107 --> 00:53:56,401
Are you Erin Brockovich?
Yeah.

883
00:53:56,484 --> 00:54:00,446
Uh, I'm Tom Robinson.
This is my wife Mandy.

884
00:54:00,530 --> 00:54:01,572
Hi.

885
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:04,117
We used to live across the
street from the Jensens.

886
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,410
I think you know Donna.

887
00:54:05,493 --> 00:54:06,869
ERIN: Yeah.

888
00:54:06,953 --> 00:54:10,498
Uh, PG&E bought our house
Iastyean

889
00:54:12,125 --> 00:54:15,711
TOM: The vets said they had
a bunch of tumors and stuff

890
00:54:15,795 --> 00:54:20,425
and, you can see,
they couldn't really walk.

891
00:54:20,508 --> 00:54:22,427
How many were
born like this?

892
00:54:22,510 --> 00:54:25,930
Uh, 12 or 13 or so.

893
00:54:26,013 --> 00:54:27,181
Yeah.

894
00:54:27,515 --> 00:54:31,394
When Donna told us about you and
what you told her about the chromium,

895
00:54:31,477 --> 00:54:34,564
we figured that might have
something to do with this, too.

896
00:54:34,647 --> 00:54:37,608
Yeah, it might.
May I keep these?

897
00:54:37,692 --> 00:54:38,734
Yes.

898
00:54:38,818 --> 00:54:42,447
Okay. Great. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.

899
00:54:42,530 --> 00:54:45,867
There's something else, too.

900
00:54:47,660 --> 00:54:49,036
What?

901
00:54:49,162 --> 00:54:51,497
This...

902
00:54:51,581 --> 00:54:56,169
Well, Mandy here has had

903
00:54:56,252 --> 00:54:58,838
five miscarriages.

904
00:54:59,505 --> 00:55:01,048
I'm so sorry.

905
00:55:01,924 --> 00:55:04,886
I figured
it was something I did

906
00:55:04,969 --> 00:55:07,889
like when I
smoked marijuana maybe,

907
00:55:07,972 --> 00:55:10,558
or took
birth control pills.

908
00:55:10,641 --> 00:55:16,397
But then Donna said you thought chromium
might be to blame for her problems.

909
00:55:16,481 --> 00:55:18,733
So I figured

910
00:55:21,861 --> 00:55:23,279
maybe it wasn't just me.

911
00:55:32,914 --> 00:55:34,749
(SIGHS) Whoa.

912
00:55:34,832 --> 00:55:36,626
(KISSING)

913
00:55:40,463 --> 00:55:42,089
I have to take a bath.

914
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,425
You should go in.

915
00:55:46,594 --> 00:55:47,929
They're not asleep?

916
00:55:50,014 --> 00:55:51,641
(SIGHS)

917
00:55:51,724 --> 00:55:53,267
Beth and Katie are.

918
00:56:00,525 --> 00:56:01,776
Hey.

919
00:56:09,951 --> 00:56:11,160
How was school?

920
00:56:11,244 --> 00:56:12,328
Fine.

921
00:56:13,829 --> 00:56:15,790
Did you do your homework? Yeah.

922
00:56:18,459 --> 00:56:20,378
Any problems?

923
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:34,976
I know you're upset,
but the way this job is,

924
00:56:35,059 --> 00:56:37,645
things come up
at the last minute,

925
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:39,814
real important things
that I gotta deal with.

926
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:40,982
Fine!

927
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,242
Please don't be mad at me.
I'm doing this for us.

928
00:56:51,325 --> 00:56:55,246
I know it's hard for you
to understand, but...

929
00:56:56,914 --> 00:56:58,833
Don't you want Mommy
to be good at herjob?

930
00:56:59,834 --> 00:57:00,835
Hmm?

931
00:57:06,674 --> 00:57:08,759
It's not like
I miss dinner all the time.

932
00:57:08,843 --> 00:57:10,344
We all ate together
last night.

933
00:57:10,845 --> 00:57:13,014
You were reading
the whole time.

934
00:57:18,936 --> 00:57:20,062
Okay.

935
00:57:26,944 --> 00:57:29,196
(HONKING HORN)

936
00:57:37,246 --> 00:57:39,624
You know, there's something
about this whole thing

937
00:57:39,707 --> 00:57:41,834
I don't quite understand,
Mr. Masry.

938
00:57:41,917 --> 00:57:44,545
If PG&E messed
with our water,

939
00:57:44,629 --> 00:57:47,840
why would they bother saying
anything about it to us at all?

940
00:57:47,923 --> 00:57:50,009
Why not just
keep quiet about it?

941
00:57:50,384 --> 00:57:52,720
To establish
a statute of limitations.

942
00:57:52,803 --> 00:57:55,389
In a case like this,
you only have one year

943
00:57:55,473 --> 00:57:58,976
from the time you first learn
about the problem to file suit.

944
00:57:59,060 --> 00:58:01,103
So PG&E figures

945
00:58:01,187 --> 00:58:02,980
we'll let
the cat out of the bag,

946
00:58:03,064 --> 00:58:05,274
tell the people
the water's not perfect,

947
00:58:05,733 --> 00:58:08,527
and ifwe can ride out the
year with no one suing,

948
00:58:08,611 --> 00:58:10,488
we'll be in the clear forever.

949
00:58:11,072 --> 00:58:13,491
But it was more than
a year ago that they told us.

950
00:58:13,574 --> 00:58:14,825
It's okay.
We're not suing.

951
00:58:14,909 --> 00:58:15,910
Not yet.

952
00:58:16,577 --> 00:58:19,455
AII we're doing is
using this information

953
00:58:19,538 --> 00:58:22,625
to get you a real nice
purchase price on your house

954
00:58:22,708 --> 00:58:27,296
and, you two, a comparable
retroactive bonus on your sale price.

955
00:58:27,380 --> 00:58:30,466
That way, PG&E can still look
good to their shareholders

956
00:58:30,549 --> 00:58:32,593
because they're not
involved in an ugly lawsuit.

957
00:58:32,677 --> 00:58:35,096
AII they're doing
is buying a little property.

958
00:58:35,429 --> 00:58:40,226
It doesn't say here how much
this thing is gonna cost us.

959
00:58:40,309 --> 00:58:43,396
My fee is 40% of whatever
you get awarded.

960
00:58:53,781 --> 00:58:55,449
Boy, do I know
how you feel.

961
00:58:56,242 --> 00:59:00,287
The first time I heard that number,
I said, "You've got to be kidding me.

962
00:59:00,413 --> 00:59:04,083
"Forty goddamn percent?
I'm the one that's injured. Erin...

963
00:59:04,750 --> 00:59:09,004
"This joker sits at a desk, and he wants
to walk away with almost half my reward?"

964
00:59:09,088 --> 00:59:10,631
Erin, can I...
But then

965
00:59:11,590 --> 00:59:13,467
I asked him

966
00:59:13,801 --> 00:59:16,595
what he makes
if I don't get anything.

967
00:59:17,805 --> 00:59:19,640
Then I don't
get anything either.

968
00:59:20,558 --> 00:59:22,351
Plus he's out
all the costs.

969
00:59:22,977 --> 00:59:26,731
So I realized
he's taking a chance, too.

970
00:59:36,157 --> 00:59:37,450
You got a pen, honey?

971
00:59:43,289 --> 00:59:44,665
Well, all right then.

972
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:49,795
Oh, I made a bundt cake.

973
00:59:49,879 --> 00:59:52,548
Let me put on some coffee.
Who would like coffee and cake?

974
00:59:52,631 --> 00:59:55,301
I do. Thanks,
but we have to be getting back.

975
00:59:56,343 --> 00:59:58,804
(WHISPERS) Have a fucking
cup of coffee, Ed.

976
00:59:58,888 --> 01:00:01,348
Coffee will be great.
Thank you.

977
01:00:01,432 --> 01:00:03,350
DONNA: All right.
I'II help you.

978
01:00:08,481 --> 01:00:10,858
My wife makes
really good bundt cake.

979
01:00:11,358 --> 01:00:12,860
I love bundt cake.

BOB LINWOOD: Seems like everybody in
the family ended up with a rash somehow.

982
01:00:20,868 --> 01:00:23,454
It also seemed like no
matter what we did for it,

983
01:00:23,537 --> 01:00:25,039
it always came back.

984
01:00:25,122 --> 01:00:28,000
Over what kind
of period of time?

985
01:00:28,083 --> 01:00:30,669
Oh, a long time.
You know, years.

986
01:00:30,753 --> 01:00:32,129
Never did keep track of it.

987
01:00:32,213 --> 01:00:34,381
Kids are sick.
Animals need to be fed.

988
01:00:35,424 --> 01:00:36,884
Just couldn't get rid of it.
That's all.

989
01:00:37,551 --> 01:00:41,055
ERIN: Well,
Mrs. De Soto said

990
01:00:41,138 --> 01:00:44,225
that she wasn't
exactly sure what you had.

991
01:00:44,308 --> 01:00:47,061
We know what it is.
It's gastro...

992
01:00:47,144 --> 01:00:49,313
Gastrointestinal cancer.
Cancer. Yeah.

993
01:00:49,396 --> 01:00:51,315
She got sick about
nine months ago.

994
01:00:51,398 --> 01:00:52,691
LAURA AMBROSINO:
Nine months ago.

995
01:00:52,775 --> 01:00:55,027
MIKE AMBROSINO: They operated
on her about six months ago.

996
01:00:55,110 --> 01:00:57,154
Mmm-hmm. The intestine.
Right.

997
01:01:07,456 --> 01:01:08,916
Hi, I'm Erin...

998
01:01:08,999 --> 01:01:12,086
I know who you are.
Donna called me.

999
01:01:12,169 --> 01:01:14,922
Oh. Can I come in?

1000
01:01:15,631 --> 01:01:18,425
I told Donna we're not
interested in getting involved.

1001
01:01:20,636 --> 01:01:21,846
Can I ask why?

1002
01:01:22,805 --> 01:01:24,098
What's the point?

1003
01:01:26,475 --> 01:01:30,187
Well, Donna told me
that you've been sick

1004
01:01:30,271 --> 01:01:31,689
and that your kids
were sick...

1005
01:01:31,772 --> 01:01:33,899

me in when Ijust stopped by.

from time to time.

1011
01:01:55,087 --> 01:01:57,006

brought me out here.

too early.

couple months.

1026
01:02:55,856 --> 01:02:57,399
Absolutely not.

1027
01:02:57,483 --> 01:02:58,984
That's crazy.
Why not?

1028
01:02:59,068 --> 01:03:00,152
Because I said no.

1029
01:03:00,235 --> 01:03:02,154
The only reason PG&E's
even talking to us

1030
01:03:02,237 --> 01:03:04,990
is because this is a quiet,
little real estate dispute.

1031
01:03:05,074 --> 01:03:08,827
We add plaintiffs, suddenly we're
in the middle of a toxic tort

1032

with a statute problem
against a massive utility.

1033
01:03:11,914 --> 01:03:13,624
No, thank you.
Okay.

1034
01:03:13,707 --> 01:03:16,502
So I'll go
to Ted and Rita Daniels,

1035
01:03:16,585 --> 01:03:18,796
two of the nicest people
you could ever hope to meet,

1036
01:03:18,879 --> 01:03:20,923
who every single day watch
their little girl, Annabelle,

1037
01:03:21,006 --> 01:03:22,549
fight like a dog
against cancer,

1038
01:03:22,633 --> 01:03:25,678
and I'll tell them
we can't help them because

1039
01:03:25,761 --> 01:03:27,680
you just don't
want to work that hard.

1040
01:03:27,763 --> 01:03:31,225
Work hard?
Let me tell you something.

1041
01:03:31,308 --> 01:03:32,977
I've worked all my life.

1042
01:03:33,060 --> 01:03:35,980
I've built a firm and managed to
keep it alive through lawsuits,

1043
01:03:36,063 --> 01:03:37,648
injunctions and evictions.

1044
01:03:37,731 --> 01:03:40,734
I've survived
a quadruple bypass, cancer,

1045
01:03:40,818 --> 01:03:43,529
being born with one kidney
and having diabetes.

1046
01:03:43,612 --> 01:03:46,615
I've personally managed
to save a million dollars

1047
01:03:46,699 --> 01:03:49,326
over 30 years of getting
some clients ten times that.

1048
01:03:49,410 --> 01:03:51,620
Don't tell me
I don't work hard.

1049
01:03:51,704 --> 01:03:55,499
Don't tell me I haven't earned the right
to stop, take a breath and enjoy life.

1050
01:03:55,582 --> 01:03:58,502
And what the hell do you know
about any of this anyway?

1051
01:03:58,585 --> 01:04:01,547
Something like this, Erin...
It could take forever.

1052
01:04:01,630 --> 01:04:03,424
They're a huge corporation.

1053
01:04:03,507 --> 01:04:06,093
They could bury us in paperwork
for the next 15 years.

1054
01:04:06,176 --> 01:04:08,429
I'm just a guy with
a small, private firm!

1055
01:04:09,513 --> 01:04:12,725
Who happens to know they poisoned
people and lied about it.

1056
01:04:13,267 --> 01:04:14,852
We can get these people.

1057
01:04:14,935 --> 01:04:19,273
With a little effort, I really think we
can just nail their asses to the wall.

1058
01:04:19,356 --> 01:04:21,859
You do? With all your legal
expertise, you believe that?

1059
01:04:21,942 --> 01:04:23,152
Don't you everjust know?

1060
01:04:23,235 --> 01:04:24,862
You also "just know" where
the money's coming from?

1061
01:04:24,945 --> 01:04:26,905
That's why most of these
cases settle: lack of money.

1062
01:04:26,989 --> 01:04:30,075
Do you know what toxicologists
and geology experts cost?

1063
01:04:30,159 --> 01:04:32,202
We're looking
at 100 grand a month, easy.

1064
01:04:32,286 --> 01:04:33,954
I've already made
a huge dent in my savings.

1065
01:04:34,038 --> 01:04:35,372
We'll figure it out.

1066
01:04:35,664 --> 01:04:40,085
I don't know shit about shit, but I know
the difference between right and wrong!

1067
01:04:40,169 --> 01:04:43,172
Lovers' quarrel?
Oh, bite my ass, Krispy Kreme.

1068
01:04:46,967 --> 01:04:48,802
I feel you looking at me.

1069
01:04:52,639 --> 01:04:54,141
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

1070
01:04:56,727 --> 01:04:59,146
How many families
are we talking about?

1071
01:04:59,521 --> 01:05:01,607
Four more.
Eleven people so far.

1072
01:05:02,191 --> 01:05:03,567
You mean there's more?

1073
01:05:03,650 --> 01:05:05,736
I found one document
at the Water Board

1074
01:05:05,819 --> 01:05:09,073
that was a toxic test
well reading from 1967.

1075
01:05:09,156 --> 01:05:11,658
A lot more people have lived
on that land since then.

1076
01:05:11,742 --> 01:05:14,620
(SIGHS) This is
a whole different ball game,

1077
01:05:14,703 --> 01:05:16,330
a much bigger deal.

1078
01:05:17,289 --> 01:05:19,666
Kind of like David
and what's-his-name.

1079
01:05:20,501 --> 01:05:21,502
(LAUGHS)

1080
01:05:21,877 --> 01:05:25,297
It's kind of like David and
what's-his-name's whole fucking family.

1081
01:05:26,715 --> 01:05:29,927
(SIGHS) Okay,
here's the deal.

1082
01:05:30,010 --> 01:05:32,554
If, and only if,
you find all the evidence to back this up,

1083
01:05:32,638 --> 01:05:34,681
I'll take it on.

1084
01:05:34,765 --> 01:05:36,517
You're doing the right thing,
Mr. Masry.

1085
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,018
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1086
01:05:38,102 --> 01:05:40,521
Remind me of that when
I'm filing for bankruptcy.

1087
01:05:42,523 --> 01:05:45,818
Of course, gathering
evidence is a big job.

1088
01:05:46,568 --> 01:05:48,612
A hell of a lot
bigger than just filing.

1089
01:05:49,154 --> 01:05:53,450
I'll be working a lot harder,
taking on more responsibility.

1090
01:05:53,909 --> 01:05:54,910
I don't believe this.

1091
01:05:54,993 --> 01:05:56,537
Another raise wouldn't hurt.

1092
01:05:56,870 --> 01:05:58,789
And I'm gonna be spending
a lot of time in my car,

1093
01:05:58,872 --> 01:06:02,251
so I'll probably be needing
one of those cell phones.

1094
01:06:02,835 --> 01:06:04,336
I don't believe this.

1095
01:06:04,419 --> 01:06:05,587

You should
watch your step.

1113

really should think again.

Because I can get a job

at a ball and said,

her little finger

with her beautiful, soft, chubby,
little arm and her little cheeks.

been looking at it for nine months

I want to know

1250

how the plant works, the cooling
towers, just everything, so...

1251
01:14:41,019 --> 01:14:44,564
They use the hexachrome here,
in these cooling towers,

1252
01:14:44,648 --> 01:14:46,232
as an anticorrosive.

1253
01:14:46,316 --> 01:14:49,235
Then they dump the excess
water into these ponds.

1254
01:14:49,319 --> 01:14:52,072
I don't remember seeing
any ponds out there.

1255

This is an old picture.

1256
01:14:54,115 --> 01:14:56,076
They've been covered over,
and not too carefully.

1257
01:14:56,159 --> 01:14:58,078
If you dig one inch
under the surface,

1258

1259

the contamination?

01:15:03,583 --> 01:15:05,335
Well, it didn't help,

1261
01:15:05,418 --> 01:15:07,879
but, no, the problem actually
started on the bottom.

1262
01:15:07,962 --> 01:15:09,923
According to

1263
01:15:11,341 --> 01:15:13,259
this,

1264
01:15:13,343 --> 01:15:15,929
in most cases,
you would line these ponds

1265
01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:18,890
so this shit didn't
seep into the ground.

1266
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:20,517
But guess what?

1267
01:15:21,184 --> 01:15:22,185
They skipped that step?

1268
01:15:22,268 --> 01:15:24,437
Mmm-hmm.
Here are the ponds.

1269
01:15:24,521 --> 01:15:28,400
The plume comes down like
this, and Hinkley is down here.

1270
01:15:28,483 --> 01:15:32,654

what's in those ponds.

I've been making inquiries
with other firms,

1288

to share some of the cost.

1289
01:16:36,426 --> 01:16:38,553
They all said, "No."
Said we don't have it.

That's bullshit.
We've got PG&E by the balls.

PG&E Hinkley by the balls,
but nobody's going to get rich

1292

unless we can pin this on PG&E
corporate in San Francisco.

1293

What do you mean?

1294
01:16:49,773 --> 01:16:51,107
PG&E corporate
is claiming

1295
01:16:51,191 --> 01:16:53,193
they had no way of knowing
what was going on in Hinkley.

1296
01:16:53,276 --> 01:16:55,361
Oh, they knew.

1297
01:16:55,445 --> 01:16:57,405
Show me the document
that proves it.

1298
01:17:00,158 --> 01:17:01,117
Then they didn't know.

1299
01:17:01,201 --> 01:17:04,370
If they didn't know,
we can't hit them with punitive damages.

1300
01:17:04,454 --> 01:17:07,123
With punitive damages,
we're talking about a sum of money

1301
01:17:07,207 --> 01:17:09,334
that can actually
have some effect

1302
01:17:09,417 --> 01:17:11,711
on these people's lives.

1303
01:17:13,379 --> 01:17:14,714
So what do we do now?

1304
01:17:19,135 --> 01:17:22,222
Let's assume
there are documents connecting

1305
01:17:22,305 --> 01:17:24,140
PG&E Hinkley
with PG&E corporate,

1306
01:17:24,224 --> 01:17:26,309
and they know
these documents exist.

1307
01:17:26,392 --> 01:17:30,855
We take our 400 or so plaintiffs
and everything you've dug up,

1308
01:17:30,939 --> 01:17:33,817
we file a lawsuit
to provoke a reaction,

1309
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:36,152
to see if they offer
a reasonable settlement

1310
01:17:36,236 --> 01:17:38,154
orjust throw
more paper at us.

1311
01:17:38,238 --> 01:17:39,823
That sounds great.
Let's do that.

1312
01:17:39,906 --> 01:17:44,744
There's a downside.
PG&E will submit a demurrer,

1313
01:17:44,828 --> 01:17:47,831
a list of reasons
attacking each complaint,

1314
01:17:47,914 --> 01:17:50,917
claiming that each
cause of action has no merit.

1315
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,420
If the judge agrees with them,
he'II dismiss our case.

1316
01:17:54,504 --> 01:17:56,631
PG&E will have
no reason to settle,

1317
01:17:56,714 --> 01:17:58,675
and it's all over.

1318
01:18:04,514 --> 01:18:08,184

it all comes down

on behalf of the residents of

who have filed this lawsuit
against Pacific Gas and Electric

01:20:16,229 --> 01:20:19,524
for damages,

And I have here
84 motions to strike

1354
01:20:58,771 --> 01:21:04,110
that each of the 84 motions to
strike and demurrers are denied

1355
01:21:04,193 --> 01:21:06,112
and the causes
of action against

are upheld.

ED: Counselors.
Counselors.

1370
01:22:21,395 --> 01:22:23,147
Let's be honest here.

1371
01:22:23,231 --> 01:22:26,859
$20 million is more money than
these people have ever dreamed of.

1372
01:22:27,819 --> 01:22:29,862
See,
now that pisses me off.

1373
01:22:29,946 --> 01:22:32,281
First of all,
since the demurrer,

1374
01:22:32,365 --> 01:22:34,075
we have
more than 400 plaintiffs,

1375
01:22:34,158 --> 01:22:37,078
and, let's be honest,
we all know there are more out there.

1376
01:22:37,161 --> 01:22:38,913
They may not be
the most sophisticated people,

1377
01:22:38,996 --> 01:22:40,581
but they do know
how to divide.

1378
01:22:40,665 --> 01:22:43,292
$20 million isn't shit when
you split it between them.

1379
01:22:43,376 --> 01:22:45,086
Erin...
Second of all,

1380
01:22:45,169 --> 01:22:47,130
these people don't
dream about being rich.

1381
01:22:47,213 --> 01:22:50,341
They dream about being able to
watch their kids swim in a pool

1382
01:22:50,424 --> 01:22:52,510
without worrying they'll
have to have a hysterectomy

1383
01:22:52,593 --> 01:22:53,928
at the age of 20

1384
01:22:54,011 --> 01:22:56,139
like Rosa Diaz,
3 client of ours.

1385
01:22:56,222 --> 01:22:58,641
Or have their spine
deteriorate like Stan Bloom,

1386
01:22:58,724 --> 01:23:00,768
another client of ours.

1387
01:23:00,852 --> 01:23:04,522
So before you come back here
with another lame-ass offer,

1388
01:23:04,856 --> 01:23:09,193
I want you to think real hard about
what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker.

1389
01:23:09,277 --> 01:23:12,780
Or what you might expect someone to
pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez.

your calculator,

1391

and you multiply
that number by a hundred.

1392
01:23:17,326 --> 01:23:20,621
Anything less than that
is a waste of our time.

1393

in special for you folks.

good on those beautiful ears."

01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:15,007
Package
from Masry & Vititoe.

1535
01:33:26,143 --> 01:33:27,853
Thank you.
Thank you.

1536
01:33:31,940 --> 01:33:33,609
Baby.
What's in here?

1537
01:33:33,692 --> 01:33:35,652
There's no baby in here.

1538
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,530
What is it?
A dolly.

1539
01:33:38,739 --> 01:33:41,033
It's a dolly? It's...

1540
01:33:53,796 --> 01:33:54,922
Look.

1541
01:33:56,423 --> 01:33:57,633
Look...

1542
01:33:57,716 --> 01:33:59,885

Do you see that?

1545
01:34:12,815 --> 01:34:14,024
I want that.

1546
01:34:14,107 --> 01:34:15,818
I want that, too.

1547
01:34:15,901 --> 01:34:18,987
It's our lucky day.
Matthew! Katie!

1548
01:34:30,123 --> 01:34:33,752
PG&E has requested that we
submit to binding arbitration.

1549
01:34:33,836 --> 01:34:35,003
What's that?

1550
01:34:37,381 --> 01:34:39,466
That's where we try
the case without a jury,

1551
01:34:39,550 --> 01:34:40,926
just before a judge.

1552
01:34:41,009 --> 01:34:42,469
It's called
a test trial.

1553
01:34:42,553 --> 01:34:44,054
The judge's decision
is final.

1554
01:34:44,137 --> 01:34:45,347
There is no appeal.

1555
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,183
How many plaintiffs
do you have?

1556
01:34:48,267 --> 01:34:49,810
Six hundred
and thirty-four.

1557
01:34:50,894 --> 01:34:53,313
They'll never try
that many all at once.

1558
01:34:53,397 --> 01:34:57,150
So we need to get them
together in groups of 20 or 30.

1559
01:34:57,234 --> 01:34:58,986
Worst cases,
the most life-threatened,

1560
01:34:59,069 --> 01:35:00,529
the sickest
in the first group.

1561
01:35:00,612 --> 01:35:02,531
And so on
and so on.

1562
01:35:02,614 --> 01:35:05,951
Each one gets a go before the
judge to determine damages.

1563
01:35:06,034 --> 01:35:08,203
PG&E has proposed
that they're liable

1564
01:35:08,287 --> 01:35:11,999
anywhere between
50 and 400 million.

1565
01:35:13,417 --> 01:35:15,002
So...
Wait a minute.

1566
01:35:15,085 --> 01:35:16,628
Let me just
get this straight.

1567
01:35:16,712 --> 01:35:20,173
If we went to trial,
PG&E could stretch this over ten years

1568
01:35:20,257 --> 01:35:22,009
with appeal
afierappeaL

1569
01:35:22,092 --> 01:35:23,302
Those people
in Hinkley...

1570
01:35:23,385 --> 01:35:25,637
These people
are expecting a trial.

1571
01:35:25,721 --> 01:35:29,224
That's what we told them.
They won't understand this.

1572
01:35:32,060 --> 01:35:35,105
Kurt thinks
it's the best way to go.

1573
01:35:43,864 --> 01:35:48,702
KURT: I promise you that we'll
be very sensitive on this point.

1574
01:35:48,785 --> 01:35:50,829
We will make sure
that they understand

1575
01:35:50,913 --> 01:35:53,916
this is the only way we can
go forward at this time.

1576
01:35:55,167 --> 01:35:57,711
But we have
a lot of work to do

1577
01:35:57,794 --> 01:36:00,047
before we even
broach that subject.

1578
01:36:02,466 --> 01:36:04,384
Why don't I take
Erin down the hall,

1579
01:36:04,468 --> 01:36:06,261
so we can start
on this stuff,

1580
01:36:06,345 --> 01:36:08,931
and I'll fill her in on the rest
of the details. KURT: Thanks.

1581
01:36:09,514 --> 01:36:11,141
Those are my files.

1582
01:36:11,224 --> 01:36:12,768
Yeah, we had them
couriered over.

1583
01:36:13,810 --> 01:36:16,063
Listen, good work.
They're a great start.

1584
01:36:16,146 --> 01:36:19,232
We're just going to have to spend a little
time filling in the holes in your research.

1585
01:36:20,192 --> 01:36:22,778
Excuse me.
Theresa, is it?

1586
01:36:22,861 --> 01:36:25,197
There are no holes
in my research.

1587
01:36:25,530 --> 01:36:26,531
No offense.

1588
01:36:26,615 --> 01:36:29,284
There are just some things we need
that you probably didn't know to ask.

1589
01:36:29,368 --> 01:36:31,745
Don't talk to me like I'm an
idiot, okay?

1590
01:36:31,828 --> 01:36:34,581
I may not have a law degree,
but I've spent 18 months on this case,

1591
01:36:34,665 --> 01:36:37,668
and I know more about these
plaintiffs than you ever will.

1592
01:36:39,127 --> 01:36:41,505
Erin, you don't even have
phone numbers for some of them.

1593
01:36:41,588 --> 01:36:43,006
Whose number do you need?

1594
01:36:43,090 --> 01:36:44,758
Everyone's.
This is a lawsuit.

1595
01:36:44,841 --> 01:36:46,927
We need to be able
to contact the plaintiffs.

1596
01:36:47,010 --> 01:36:48,553
I said,
"Whose number do you need?"

1597
01:36:50,222 --> 01:36:52,724
You don't know 600 plaintiffs'
numbers by heart.

1598
01:37:07,531 --> 01:37:09,074

Ten years old, eleven in May.
Lived on the plume since birth.

01:37:16,623 --> 01:37:18,333
Wanted to be
a synchronized swimmer,

1602
01:37:18,417 --> 01:37:21,503
so she spent every minute
she could in the PG&E pool.

1603
01:37:21,586 --> 01:37:23,964
She had a tumor on her brain
stem detected last November,

1604
01:37:24,047 --> 01:37:27,092
an operation on Thanksgiving,
shrunk it with radiation after that.

1605
01:37:27,175 --> 01:37:30,137
Her parents are Ted and Rita.
Ted's got Crohn's disease.

1606
01:37:30,345 --> 01:37:34,182
Rita has chronic headaches and nausea
and underwent a hysterectomy last fall.

1607
01:37:34,266 --> 01:37:37,144

You want their diseases?

off on the wrong foot here.

and fucking ugly shoes.

01:38:04,963 --> 01:38:06,381
She insulted me.

1616
01:38:06,465 --> 01:38:08,592
Bullshit. It was
a misunderstanding.

1617
01:38:08,675 --> 01:38:10,469
Instead of
handling it politely,

1618
01:38:10,552 --> 01:38:12,554
instead of treating her
with respect, you insult her.

1619
01:38:12,637 --> 01:38:13,889
Why the fuck
should I respect her?

1620
01:38:13,972 --> 01:38:15,599
Just because she's not
supporting three kids

1621
01:38:15,682 --> 01:38:18,518
with no husband and no education,
doesn't make her an idiot.

she dresses like a lawyer,

1623
01:38:20,771 --> 01:38:22,731

that he destroyed records.

Charles Embry.

First I thought he was trying to kill me, but
then I thought he was trying to pick me up.

Maybe he is,
but why would he say that?

use that as his line?

He had kidney tumors,

over at the plant.

He's be cleaning the cooling

I was working
in the compressor.

Out of nowhere,
the supervisor calls me up to the office

give you a shredder machine

"and send you on down to the warehouse to
get rid of the documents stored there."

1920
01:57:02,433 --> 01:57:04,185
Did he say why?

1921
01:57:04,935 --> 01:57:07,563
Nope
and I didn't ask.

1922
01:57:11,984 --> 01:57:14,570
Did you get a look
at the stuff you destroyed?

1923

A lot of dull stuff,
vacation schedules and the like.

1924
01:57:18,866 --> 01:57:20,618
But then there were
a few memos

about the holding ponds,
the water in them

1926

from the test wells.

to destroy those?

you've been so good to me,

It's a complicated issue.
You're not a qualified lawyer. l did ajob.

2044
02:04:40,349 --> 02:04:42,976
You should reward me accordingly.
It's not complicated.

2045
02:04:43,060 --> 02:04:44,645
That is the fucking
problem.

2046
02:04:44,728 --> 02:04:48,273
All you lawyers do is complicate
situations that aren't complicated.

2047
02:04:48,357 --> 02:04:51,485
Do you know why people think all lawyers
are backstabbing, bloodsucking scumbags?

2048
02:04:51,568 --> 02:04:55,113
Because they are. I cannot believe
you are doing this to me now

2049
02:04:55,197 --> 02:04:57,324
when I'm up to my ass
in Kettleman plaintiffs,

2050
02:04:57,407 --> 02:05:00,369
which looks like double
the amount we had in Hinkley.

2051
02:05:00,452 --> 02:05:01,953
You expect me
to go out there,

2052
02:05:02,037 --> 02:05:04,122
leave my kids to be
looked after by strangers,

2053
02:05:04,206 --> 02:05:05,332
knock on doors,

2054
02:05:05,415 --> 02:05:06,833
get these people to
trust you with their lives,

2055
02:05:06,917 --> 02:05:08,585
and the whole time
you're screwing me!

2056
02:05:09,586 --> 02:05:10,921
I want you to
know something, Ed.

2057
02:05:11,004 --> 02:05:12,464
It is not
about the number.

2058
02:05:12,547 --> 02:05:15,050
It is about the way my work
is valued in this firm.

2059
02:05:15,133 --> 02:05:17,386
It's about how no matter
what I do, you're not...

2060
02:05:23,058 --> 02:05:24,976
As I was saying,

2061
02:05:25,477 --> 02:05:30,107
I decided that
the figure you proposed

2062
02:05:30,190 --> 02:05:32,067
was inappropriate.

2063
02:05:32,943 --> 02:05:34,319
So I increased it.

2064
02:05:45,414 --> 02:05:49,209
Do they teach beauty
queens how to apologize?

2065
02:05:49,292 --> 02:05:51,503
Because you suck at it.

2066
02:06:05,434 --> 02:06:07,602
Uh, thank you, Ed.

2067
02:06:08,895 --> 02:06:09,896
I hitched a ride

2068
02:06:09,980 --> 02:06:12,858
With a vending machine
repairman

2069
02:06:12,941 --> 02:06:16,778
He said he's been down
this road more than twice

2070
02:06:16,862 --> 02:06:20,741
He was high
on intellectualism

2071
02:06:20,824 --> 02:06:25,579
I've never been there
but the brochure looks nice

2072
02:06:25,662 --> 02:06:28,039
Jump in
Let's go

2073
02:06:29,916 --> 02:06:33,295
Lay back
Enjoy the show

2074
02:06:33,420 --> 02:06:36,173
(KNOCKING)
Everybody gets high

2075
02:06:36,256 --> 02:06:38,091
Everybody gets low

2076
02:06:38,175 --> 02:06:41,470
These are the days
when anything goes

2077
02:06:41,553 --> 02:06:45,015
Every day
is a Winding road

2078
02:06:47,768 --> 02:06:49,936
I get a little bit closer

2079
02:06:50,020 --> 02:06:54,191
Every day is a faded sign

2080
02:06:55,859 --> 02:06:59,780
I get a little bit closer
to feeling fine

2081
02:06:59,863 --> 02:07:02,282
Every day is a Winding road

2082
02:07:07,037 --> 02:07:10,582
Every day is a Winding road

2083
02:07:15,545 --> 02:07:19,633
Every day is a Winding road

2084
02:07:19,716 --> 02:07:22,928
Every day is a Winding road

2085
02:07:23,929 --> 02:07:27,224
Every day is a Winding road

2086
02:07:28,225 --> 02:07:31,436
Every day is a Winding road
