secret because you believe in giving public benefit of the doubt.***********************************Ellenor, Jamie, Eugene and their client walk into the one of those courtroom rooms. Eugene angrily smashes the door behind him.Eugene: Why didn39。t you tell us you were harvesting the embryos? Client: I wasn39。t really at liberty to. We all signed confidentiality agreement. Eugene: Don39。t feed me that! Client: Look, what we are doing is not illegal. It39。s going on elsewhere, like I said, and in the near future it will be going on at Mass General and every major research.... Eugene: (yelling) That39。s not the point! You were playing hard to ball with the wrong judge. Client: Somebody inside must have whistled, I don39。t know how it got out. Ellenor: Well like you said it39。s now. Jamie: May I make a suggestion? If this is why they are rezoning you maybe a deal can be struck. If you agree to stop harvesting and only use discarded embryos, maybe they39。ll drop the ordinance. Client: We can39。t. We don39。t get enough embryos from the clinics. We need to harvest.Eugene: Is it worth risking being shut down? Client: If we can39。t harvest you might as well shut us down. We need to win this Eugene. Eugene: Yeah, well you just made that a lot tougher.************************************************In another courtroom Maxine is singing One Moment in Time.Each day I liveI want to be, A day to give, The best of me. I39。m only one, But not alone, My finest day, Mr. Emerson: She sings this really goodLawyer: She isn39。t exactly quaking. Mr. Emerson: We haven39。t got there yet....is yet unknownI want one moment in time, When I39。m more than I thought I could be. Then all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, And the answers are all up to me. Give me one moment in time, When I39。m racing with destiny, Then in that one moment of time, I will feel, I will feel eternity. I39。ve lived to be, The very best. I want it all, No time for less. I39。ve laid the plans, Now lay the chance, Here in my hands.Judge Kittleson watches, seeming to enjoy the music. Lindsay looks stunned at how beautifully she sings, and as she is singing, people are stopping and looking in the courtroom windows to watch and listen. I broke my heart, Fought every gain, To taste the sweet, I face the pain. I rise and fall, Yet through it all, This much remains. I want one moment in time, When I39。m more than I thought I could be. Then all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, And the answers are all up to me. Give me one moment in time, When I39。m racing with destiny, Then in that one moment of time, I will feel, I will feel eternity. You39。re a winner for a lifetime, If you seize that one moment in time, Make it shine. Give me one moment in time, When I39。m more than I thought I could be, When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, And the answers are all up to me. Give me one moment in time, When I39。m racing with destiny. Then in that one moment of time, I will be, I will be, I will be free. (She does this one really long eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)SwooshCut to a room, Ellenor and Eugene are talking when Bobby enters.Ellenor: All we can do is argue it. It39。s still a state imposing it39。s morality on a private facility. It39。s wrong and we should win. Fox is conservative but she is a fair judge. Eugene: Let39。s hope. Bobby es in. Bobby: How39。s it going. Eugene: Fine! Do you need anything? Bobby: (long pause) I heard what happened in court… they39。re harvesting? Eugene: Yes. Bobby: What39。s next? Eugene: I39。ll get up and argue the law like it39。s a religion, it39。s who I am. Bobby: All right Eugene…Eugene: Look, I need to prepare, so…Bobby: I don39。t give a damn. I came to you in the spirit of friendship. Eugene: Telling me I had no center? Bobby: I never said that. Eugene: I got the point, Bobby. I39。m a man without a soul. Bobby: You know what Eugene? You wanna make me the enemy? Fine. Eugene: No no no, The enemy is thyself, isn39。t that what the bible says? Bobby: (Sarcastically but seriously.) I take it all back. I was wrong, I thought you were angry, clearly you39。re not. I thought the law was your ideology but I can see now you39。re a spiritual guy. Forgive me for trying to step between you and your profound sense of contentment. (Bobby turns around and leaves.) Ellenor: (Looks shocked.) Did I miss something?Commercial Break.Cut to: The courtroom, the lawyer opposing Lindsay is giving his closingLawyer: It was a splendid performance. To hear it once, fabulous, but day after day after day after day? As Mr. Emerson stated, part of owning a home, perhaps the very essence of it is your quiet enjoyment. To be able to sip a cup of coffee in peace. Not all the time of course, disturbances are a part of life, but Mr. Emerson shouldn39。t be forced to endure a daily dose of what we heard in this courtroom! People do have a right to peace and quiet. (Sits down, and Lindsay stands.) Lindsay: Peace and quiet are overrated. I just left my firm to start my own practice, ostensibly to find peace and quiet, but I discovered what I39。ve really been yearning for is a sense of being connected with people, friends and loved ones. I39。ve gotten to know Maxine Ship a little. I like her. And, I just think there39。s too much peace and quiet going on, people building fences, gates, getting bigger yards. Walking around with walkmans, ipods and headphones, shutting out the world in search of privacy, seclusion, peace and quiet. Growing more isolated if not lonely. We39。re all so disconnected. I think, I think we need to start letting our neighbours voices e through our wall a little more. (She smiles, and Judge Kittleson smiles back, Lindsay goes and sits down.) Cut to: A different court room, closings on the stem cell case.
