Richard, I'm going to ask you one more time, did you hire me based on my looks?
[Sighs] Ally, did we know each other in law school?
Not... really.
Mmm-hmm. Did I interview you for the job?
No.
Did I ask to see a reference or a transcript?
No.
So, all I had to go on was looks. Why bite the hand that wants to touch you? [Richard fingers Ally's wattle, she slaps him away]
So, this had nothing to do with my ability as a lawyer.
What ability? I'm still looking for that. Kidding. Ally, you, Ling, Nelle, you're smart. You wouldn't be here if you weren't. But you have to remember, people hate lawyers. The clients think their lawyers are only out to screw them. It's just easier being screwed by a beautiful woman. Vulgarism, but ...
[Turning to walk out] I can't believe this.
Don't tell me you don't trade on your looks every day, Ally. You wake up each morning, you pull out the lip gloss, the rouge, the blush. What for, to brush up your intellect?
