In this episode: Denny Crane (5), Alan Shore (1), Denise (1)
Well. Are the rumors true? You have naked photos of Shirley? Awww, come on! What's the big deal? I've had naked photos of Shirley for years. [pulls out a stack of pictures to show Alan]
Denny? She's asleep in all of these.
[Denny hands him another photo] Here's one where she woke up. Have you ever seen a beautiful naked woman look that angry?
It's no use, Alan. Nothing interests me anymore.
Construction worker Russell Blayney arrested for attempted murder for setting a bobby trap in his home to catch burglars. Miguel Quinones allegedly broke into Blayney's house and received a reported fifty thousand volts of electricity through his body, paralyzing him from the waist down. And leaving us all with the question: Russell Blayney: Victim or Vigilante?
That case! I want that case.
So? Who would you rather have as your attorney? Me? Or Hacky McGuilty Verdict here?
I've faced him before. You'd rather have him.
Don't feel bad, son. It takes a big man to recognize a bigger man.
Don't like that kind of thinking. Defense of self. You gotta strike first. Pre-empt 'em. What they say in the news? Victim or vigilante? It's neither. This is Russell Blayney, hero!
'Denise: You wanna try this case in the press?
Exactly. I wanna grab the public's attention. The story. Character. Narrative. We have to create our own reality. You! Young punk. You must know computers. Set up a website, one of those blobs. Justice for Russell Blayney! And you, Denise, you'll be my second. You look good on camera.
Ah, Denise. Rodney King?
Rodney King. Uh, severely beaten by the police over ten years ago.
See? You remember. Why? Branding! They didn't call him Rodney King: wifebeater, alcohol abuser, who swung a tire iron at a convenience store clerk. They called him Rodney King: a motorist, a motorist: Rodney King. Brings to mind images of a jaunty man riding hat in cap in a Model-T. That's what we want. Russell Blayney: American Homeowner. Not Russell Blayney: eats them broiled, baked or fried.
