【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 r. A quite cup of coffee in my very own dominion as I sit and read the sports section. I don39。t get this. I get One moment in time. Every single day. His lawyer: Did you ever ask her to stop? Mr. Emerson: Yes. She said she just had to sing it. And it had to be in the morning. And it had to be loud. It was her way to get ready to face her day. And I just couldn39。t take it any more.************************************************In another courtroom.Board Chairman: So we took steps to stop it. Davies: So you don39。t deny you rezoned this district to purposely put the Wayne Cell Technology Institute out of business? BC: We will it poses a danger to the munity. It represents a magnet for protests, possibly violent protests, even religious terrorism. Davies: Because their research involves stem cell research? BC: Yes. Abortion clinics have been attacked and similarly rezones because of safety concerns. We did the same thing. Eugene: So this is all about safety? BC: YesEugene: Protecting Lives? BC: YesEugene: Protecting human life? BC: I know where you are going and that wasn39。t it! Eugene: You are a member of the republican party Mr. Blayne? Davies: Objection! This doesn39。t concern politics. Eugene: Oh, it doesn39。t? Davies: The issue before this court is weather the zoning board acted capriciously? Judge Fox: I agree. The objection is sustained! Eugene: You say sir, that Wayne Cell Technology Institute might be a magnet for violent protest because of the type of research it does. BC: Correct! Eugene: Has it ever been targeted to your knowledge? BC: No. Are we suppose to wait till it happens? Eugene: Ever received any threats? BC: I don39。t know where you39。ve lived the last year Mr. Young but this can blow up absent of threat these days. Eugene: So we should just start zoning out any possible target of violence. Is that your position sir? BC: Our position is we should zone out this particular facility. Eugene: And is located in the same district and Mass General hospital is it not? BC: YesEugene: Is it your feeling sir that if Mass General began a program on stem cell research that you would zone it out of business. BC: No, that is not my feeling. Eugene: Why not? Mass General is a world be known hospital. It could bee a high profile magnet for protests. BC: I believe that people would wave all the public good Mass General does against the controversy of the research and find it to be redeeming facility. Eugene: Ahhh, and you don39。t think my clients Institute serves the public good? BC: No, we don39。t. Eugene: Thank you Mr. Blayne! Swoosh: Lindsay39。s officeMaxine: You want me to testify? Lindsay: Here is the thing. Right now it doesn39。t seem like a hardship for you not to be able to sing the song.Maxine: Yes it is! Lindsay: Let me finish! Which means for us to win we need you to impress the judge why it39。s so important to you! Maxine: It39。s how I start my day. Lindsay: Yes, we have to make the strong case as to why you need it to start your day. I can39。t make that showing Maxine. Maxine: That39。s why I hired you! Lindsay: No lawyer is going to be able to convince a judge that a person needs to kick of her morning with One fine day! Maxine: One moment in time! Lindsay: I need you to speak from your heart!

Eugene: Something39。s on your mind! Bobby: (takes a deep breath) Yeah... I don39。t know whether I am your best friend any more Eugene. But you are still pretty much mine. Eugene: And I am pretty much honored. Bobby: I am Catholic Eugene! And your antiCatholic remarks.... Eugene: Whoa... Whoa... Whoooaa. I am not antiCatholic Bobby. I am angry at the Catholic church, I think the church should go legit, but I assure you I am not antiCatholic! (pause) Look I am a Christian man. To tell you the truth I don39。t know the difference between my protestant denomination and Catholicism, other than our hymns have a little more pep. Bobby: Are you Christian? Really? Eugene: Now I feel the judgment and I don39。t like it. Bobby: Eugene, I am not usually religious guy, but I do believe in God. I believe a man has a soul. Eugene: You think I don39。t? Bobby: Maybe in theory. But what you live by... You believe in the law! And you know what it happens to most criminal defense attorneys. Eugene: What happens? Bobby: We free killers for a living. Rapists. People who sometimes go on to rape and kill others. And the only way we live with ourselves is to treat the law like a religion. That39。s what you do! And over time... (Pause) It39。s making you angry. (pause) I think you got this void... Eugene: Really? You39。re wrong! And I have a case I need to work on. Bobby: Ok look, I am not in here to say go get born again. But out of respect for me... (pause) and Jimmy. Lay off the antiCatholic rhetoric. Sad music in the background.*************************Commercial**************************In the courtroom.Maxine: Law self esteem when I kind of made me obese(?). Than he said I am depressed. He prescribed Prozac, then Zoloft, then some bullet size fat pills I can39。t even pronounce. None of it worked. I got up every day and I felt the same. Lindsay: Which was? Maxine: Like a donut. This big wad of soft dough with giant hole in the middle. I could barely get out of bed. And I drag my overweight overmedicated fat self to work and I stayed at my job, which made me more depressed which made me eat more,
