[leading Robert Kardashian into her kitchen] They’ll be ready in a minute.
[stares at his kids playing out in the garden, he turns and looks at his ex-wife] Hey Kris, can we… Can I just have a second?
Why?
I don’t know. I thought we could talk.
[scoffs] What do we have to talk about?
I think we might get him off.
[scoffs again] Congrats.
[Unable to stop himself any longer, Robert sits on a countertop and breaks down crying]
He was my friend for twenty years. I can barely look at him anymore.
[turns to face him, now crying herself. She goes to him] Robert, just… leave. Just quit the case.
You don’t think… You don’t think I’ve thought of that? I can’t. I-I mean, it would just become this-this huge… thing. I mean how would it look? It would convict him. I would convict him. And it would make everything else worse for us and for you, for them. I mean, it’s hard enough with half the country hating you. No, I just… I just have to sit there ‘til it’s over. And then he’s out of our lives forever. Okay? Okay? [he starts crying again, and Kris hugs him] I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, Kris.
