Dan, Judge Casement and others in “Unfinished Business”

Dan

Before you warm up the tar and feathers, you might at least pretend to listen to my side of the story.

Are you suggesting I'm unfair?

Dan

You ignored my record as a prosecutor, and you took as character witnesses people who don't even know me.

They were all women you slept with.

Dan

That doesn't mean we'd actually spoken.

I'll take that into account. Anything else?

Dan

Yes. I would very much like to thank my friends for coming down here, and sticking up for me. Especially you, Roz.

Roz

Beats sitting here listening to Harry.

Dan

I would also like to thank Mr. Johnson and Mr. Wood for teaching me a very valuable lesson. You see, all of my life, I wanted to be rich and important like you. As a kid back in Louisiana, I used to wear a necktie while slopping hogs. I would pretend that the miserable beasts were reporters, all clamoring to ask me questions about my latest courtroom triumph. I would graciously answer each in turn, until my bucket was empty and my tie was covered with pig phlegm. All these years, I kept dreaming, and then suddenly, I had the opportunity to become one of you. To my own surprise, I said no. Because when I really looked at you for the first time, I realized that you're not better than the people I grew up with. You're not even any better than the pigs.
