In this episode: Bobby Donnell (2), Eugene Young (2), Ellenor Frutt (2), Helen (1)
Eugene, you claim I don't understand. I'll accept that, I will. I don't understand what it's like to be subjected...over and over and over again. I'll accept I'll never get that. But you know a man did die here, and the "I've had it" theory as a defense to manslaughter, I'll never understand that either.
Just a legal strategy. You got yours and...I got mine.
Yeah. But yours came from the heart.
You know what, I'm going to need a little time alone with my client. Do you mind?
That's fine.
[Kramer exits the office]
[To Blumenfeld] And I apologize, because I know this now means you have to be alone with yours.
Thank you.
You know what, Ellenor? Probably the only long-term sexual relationship you've ever had has been with your left hand. It was a mistake to come here. Goodbye.
Myra?
Yes?
[Ellenor punches Myra, knocking her to the ground]
Never insult the left!
Until you've been yanked out of your car, until you've been searched because of how you look, until you see the look of fear in somebody else's eyes staring back at you simply because you're black...until that kind of thing happens to you over, and over, and over, and over, and over, you can't know.
I'm not sure it's a smart idea making it about race. Wellesley, all white jury.
I think it's a perfect jury to make it about race. Rich, affluent, white town. These are the people that are desperate to reach out to minorities, so long as they don't have to meet one.
