Oh, well, this is the day of kind gestures.

We hit a certain age and we start buying them.

and then I turned 65 and next thing I know I'm standing smack dab in the middle of a Costco with a four-pound bag.

Lots of times in life we become exactly who people expect us to be.

Actually, you can get quite a bit more out of Peabody.

I got a little ahead of myself in my excitement.

Yes, Matlock, like the old TV show, which was all I heard between 1984 and 1992.

You're a lawyer like Matlock." And every time I'd correct him, "Y'all, he's just pretending.

You know, I'm a real lawyer." But, you know, you can only protest so much before you sound like you got a big ol' pole up your hinney.

and I just said, "Yeah, well, yeah, I'm a lawyer just like Matlock." Uh, uh, lawyer working for?

You have an associate position open, and it's been really hard to get an interview.

And I almost think it's 'cause of my age, but that'd be violating discriminatory protections.

The point is, I just had to figure out a way to break through the noise.

I think you definitely earned yourself an interview.

And as a reminder, I do know the number that Peabody is willing to pay,

and it is significantly higher than 19 million.

Of course, I wouldn't overplay my hand with Peabody either.

I always say negotiations are an art and a trap.

Well, you see, there's this funny thing that happens when women age.

Plus, it's useful because nobody sees us coming.

And it's also how I knew that Peabody's counsel grabs coffee and updates his client between 8:15 and 8:25.

No one is hired without a two-week trial.

23 million, which means I just made you $4 million.

Matlock, why do you want to work at my firm?

There's a time in life when you make decisions based on what you think is right,

and there's a time when you make decisions based on money.

And I did what was right all my life, and now I need to make it rain.

So point me to a case and put me to work.

You cannot introduce a new witness this late in the case.

Not to mention, without the prostitute, it's hearsay from 26 years ago.

Papa Cristo told her he was on the phone when he witnessed the attack.

How could anyone testify with clarity to a conversation that happened 26 years ago?

But just so I know for the future, if the friend taped the call, that'd be okay.

I mean, you wouldn't argue against admitting they taped this late.

Hypothetically, if a friend taped the call, we'd admit it.

He called 911, so we requested the audio recording, which wasn't at the police station,

but luckily it was backed up on the state server.

So we'll go ahead and admit that into evidence?

I was gonna start off by saying if I seem a little nervous, I am, because I know what many of you are thinking.

This girl, my client, Alex, is sloppy, careless, maybe even a little to blame.

And I know you're thinking this because I started out thinking the same thing.

Back in my day, if somebody tried to kitchen a closet, sounded like a Tuesday.

In fact, we had a code name for bosses who liked to cop a fail: Pants, as in wear them.

I guess we were just a little tougher back then.

We just played cards with the hand we were dealt.
