- JUDGE: What is it going to take
- 3
- 00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,572
- to make you heed
- the warnings of this court?
- 4
- 00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:21,307
- It is obvious to me
- 5
- 00:01:21,331 --> 00:01:23,869
- that you are not
- taking this matter seriously.
- 6
- 00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,982
- I will not allow you to continue
- to harass these people.
- 7
- 00:01:29,006 --> 00:01:30,167
- Is that clear?
- 8
- 00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:35,127
- If you violate this restraining order,
- I assure you,
- 9
- 00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:39,180
- you will spend 40 days in the county jail.

- I mean it.

- 00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:42,842
- One more offense.
- 12
- 00:01:46,398 --> 00:01:48,126
- What is obvious to this court
- 13
- 00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:50,670
- is that you're in need
- of professional help
- 14
- 00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:52,981
- and anger management counseling.
- 15
- 00:01:54,364 --> 00:01:57,302
- This court has suggested
- that you seek counseling,
- 16
- 00:01:57,326 --> 00:02:00,555
- but since you can't
- or won't do it voluntarily,
- 17
- 00:02:00,579 --> 00:02:03,743
- I am requiring it as part
- of your staying out of jail.
- 18
- 00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:06,782

- 24
- 00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,649
- do you think you have an anger problem?
- 25
- 00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:43,157
- Motherfucking right,
- I got an anger problem.
- 26
- 00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:49,075
- THERAPIST: Do you feel that
- you're entitled to this anger?
- 27
- 00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,716
- That's like asking me
- if I'm entitled to being hungry.
- 28
- 00:03:01,223 --> 00:03:02,839
- He caused all of this.

- Every damn breath in his body.

- 00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:15,064
- THERAPIST: Why do you feel that way?
- 34

- I mean, this is all just a waste of money.

- I can't keep doing this to my mother.
- 165
- 00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:37,720
- To be honest with you, I mean,
- 166
- 00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:40,111

- 00:17:21,749 --> 00:17:25,038
- and the $350,000 that my mom left me.
- 336
- 00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:27,790
- But that didn't matter to him, right?
- 337
- 00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:29,546
- He wanted me.
- 338
- 00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:31,047
- Right?
- 339
- 00:17:31,509 --> 00:17:34,238
- So the name of the company is called
- Prescott & Howard Industries.
- 340
- 00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:35,155
- Okay.
- 341
- 00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:38,784
- And the owner, David Prescott,
- is a super cool guy.
- 342
- 00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:41,676
- Man, he's always looking
- for the next big thing.
- 343
- 00:17:42,937 --> 00:17:44,623
- And he's a tree-hugger billionaire
- 344
- 00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:46,625
- always talking about
- saving the environment, you know?
- 345
- 00:17:46,649 --> 00:17:48,877
- So he finds people
- who just have great ideas
- 346
- 00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,689
- and he changes their lives.
- 347
- 00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:55,259
- You know, he's made millionaires
- out of a lot of people
- 348
- 00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:57,761
- just by investing in their project.
- 349
- 00:17:57,785 --> 00:17:59,137
- And it's a lottery.
- 350
- 00:17:59,161 --> 00:18:02,140
- He goes through the mail and finds ideas.
- 351
- 00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:04,893
- But if he likes them,
- then he contacts you for a meeting,
- 352
- 00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:08,397
- and you have to come
- right when he says come,
- 353
- 00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,440
- which is pretty cool.
- 354
- 00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:12,401
- So I send a letter
- to his office every week
- 355
- 00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:14,570
- talking about my battery idea.
- 356
- 00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,051
- You know what I call it?
- 357
- 00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:19,717
- The Gayle Wind.
- 358
- 00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:22,216
- You know, my last name. Yeah.
- 359
- 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,620
- Okay, but, look.
- 360
- 00:18:23,644 --> 00:18:25,852
- So is the battery, like, that powerful?
- 361
- 00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:27,374
- Yeah.
- 362
- 00:18:27,398 --> 00:18:32,189
- Yeah, well, I think you should call it
- Gayle Force Wind.
- 363
- 00:18:32,903 --> 00:18:34,631
- Oh, man!
- Yeah?
- 364
- 00:18:34,655 --> 00:18:36,091
- I like that better.
- Yeah.
- 365
- 00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,196
- I love that.
- 366
- 00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:39,236
- I need to write it down.
- 367
- 00:18:39,994 --> 00:18:41,701
- I'll be around to remind you.
- 368
- 00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:44,780
- You promise?
- 369
- 00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:48,145
- What, you planned on kickin' me out?
- 370
- 00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:49,000
- No.
- 371
- 00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:51,996
- Just a lot of disappointments, that's all.
- 372
- 00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:55,048
- Mmm. I won't disappoint you.
- 373
- 00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:04,182
- And I won't disappoint you.
- 374
- 00:19:06,604 --> 00:19:08,624
- We're gonna be so rich.
- 375
- 00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,000
- Look, the Gayle Force Wind
- 376
- 00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:11,960
- is gonna allow us to live
- in that building right there,
- 377

- on the top floor.
- 378
- 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,756
- And we're gonna have one of those.

- 380

- 381
- 00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:21,011
- And I will name it the Mrs. Gayle.
- 382
- 00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:22,679
- The Mrs. Gayle?
- 383
- 00:19:22,703 --> 00:19:25,241
- Yeah, I'm gonna name it after you
- when we get married.
- 384
- 00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:29,283
- You're gonna be my wife forever.
- 385
- 00:19:30,753 --> 00:19:33,416
- MELINDA: "Forever." That's what he said.
- 386
- 00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:37,174
- Those were his words. "Forever."
- 387
- 00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,279
- And I believed him.
- 388
- 00:19:39,303 --> 00:19:40,864
- I trusted him.
- 389
- 00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:42,616
- I was so in love with him,
- 390
- 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,661
- I didn't see the con man for the con.
- 391

- Man!
- 392
- 00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:49,956
- MELINDA: We could have our first kid
- before, like, the age of 28.
- 393
- 00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,417
- And then we can have one,
- like, right after, so...
- 394
- 00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:53,627
- keep this body in shape.

- all the kids we want
- 398
- 00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:03,512
- because we'll have all the money we want.
- 399
- 00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:06,279
- I sent another letter to Prescott, right?
- Mmm-hmm.
- 400
- 00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:09,956
- And I was thinking, what if he calls
- and I have to wait for a bus?
- 401
- 00:20:11,085 --> 00:20:13,543
- I mean, I can just
- drive you when he calls.
- 402

- MELINDA: You see the game?
- 404
- 00:20:19,135 --> 00:20:22,656
- He had a way of not asking but suggesting
- 405
- 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,048
- to make me think
- I wanted to do things for him.
- 406
- 00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:28,745
- And wouldn't you know it?
- 407
- 00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:33,291
- A few days after he got the car,
- the only time I talked to him
- 408
- 00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,272
- was when I called him.
- 409
- 00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:40,841
- One day, I waited a whole day to see
- if he would call me, and he didn't.
- 410
- 00:20:40,865 --> 00:20:44,302

- her entire life to pay for.

- sleeping in the bed

- when I was headed to one of my two jobs,
- 763
- 00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:12,683
- I would get mad, you know?
- 764
- 00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:14,448
- I would get resentful.
- 765

- And this was my routine every day.
- 766
- 00:38:24,052 --> 00:38:27,114
- To the bastard's credit,
- he did get odd jobs from time to time.

- But they...
- 768
- 00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:31,757

- we were just existing.

- Yeah, well, get this.
- 802
- 00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:05,671
- I've been sending letters
- to Prescott here for years,
- 803

- telling him about my battery.
- 804
- 00:40:06,779 --> 00:40:08,520
- You remember, in school,
- what I was working on?
- 805
- 00:40:10,033 --> 00:40:11,677
- No, sorry, I don't.
- 806
- 00:40:11,701 --> 00:40:13,762
- Well, anyway, I've been trying to get
- a meeting with him,
- 807
- 00:40:13,786 --> 00:40:15,890
- and I found out that
- Ms. Hilderbran retired
- 808
- 00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:17,349
- and that you took her place...
- 809
- 00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:19,476
- Congratulations, by the way.
- Mmm-hmm.
- 810
- 00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,117
- So I figured this must be God
- helping me out, you know?
- 811
- 00:40:22,754 --> 00:40:25,713
- No, it's not God. I can't help you.
- 812
- 00:40:26,549 --> 00:40:27,585
- What? Why?
- 813
- 00:40:28,051 --> 00:40:31,238
- No, I can't. We have new policies now
- about receiving information.
- 814
- 00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:32,948
- But look, Robert, it was really...
- 815
- 00:40:32,972 --> 00:40:34,588
- It was nice to see you.
- 816
- 00:40:35,516 --> 00:40:37,995
- Can I take you for a coffee sometime,
- maybe catch up?
- 817
- 00:40:38,019 --> 00:40:39,976
- Yeah, sure, if you invite your wife.
- 818
- 00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:43,167
- Look, I do not cheat on my wife.
- 819

- I don't do that.

- I can't help you.

- Look, I know.
- I'm sorry.
- 823
- 00:40:48,863 --> 00:40:50,729
- I know, I understand. I just...
- 824
- 00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:53,691
- I just need some advice, that's all.
- 825
- 00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,497
- Okay, look. Here's my card.

- Get off of me! Don't let him go!
- 1153
- 00:58:04,606 --> 00:58:07,098
- Come on! Help me!
- Don't let him go!
- 1154
- 00:58:08,193 --> 00:58:09,420
- MELINDA: Don't let him go!
- 1155
- 00:58:09,444 --> 00:58:11,481
- Don't let him go! You're letting him go!
- 1156
- 00:58:12,781 --> 00:58:14,522
- Why are you letting him go?
- 1157
- 00:58:16,201 --> 00:58:17,470
- You better not come back!
- 1158
- 00:58:17,494 --> 00:58:20,556
- BRENDA: Go!
- MELINDA: Don't let him go!
- 1159
- 00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:22,663
- BRENDA: Help me, June.
- Get her up here. Go!
- 1160
- 00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:25,367
- (MELINDA SCREAMING)
- 1161
- 00:58:33,677 --> 00:58:34,508
- Damn it.
- 1162
- 00:59:15,552 --> 00:59:16,588
- Robert.
- 1163
- 00:59:17,262 --> 00:59:19,157
- What a way to make
- the wrong first impression.
- 1164
- 00:59:19,181 --> 00:59:21,034
- You look terrible.
- I'm sorry.
- 1165
- 00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:24,120
- Gonna be hard to convince people
- you're not crazy looking like this.
- 1166
- 00:59:24,144 --> 00:59:25,555
- Follow me, come on.
- 1167
- 00:59:37,783 --> 00:59:39,761
- Are you okay?
- (SIGHS)
- 1168
- 00:59:39,785 --> 00:59:40,845
- Robert...
- 1169
- 00:59:40,869 --> 00:59:42,764
- (STAMMERING) My wife...
- 1170
- 00:59:42,788 --> 00:59:44,654
- You're melting down.
- 1171
- 00:59:45,290 --> 00:59:47,202
- You left this in my truck.
- 1172
- 00:59:47,626 --> 00:59:49,333
- Robert, did you steal my wallet?
- 1173
- 00:59:50,962 --> 00:59:52,703
- You left it in my truck.
- 1174
- 00:59:53,340 --> 00:59:55,502
- No, Robert. Is this what this is about?
- 1175
- 00:59:56,134 --> 00:59:57,295
- Did she find it?
- 1176
- 00:59:58,011 --> 00:59:59,218
- I'm so sorry.
- 1177
- 00:59:59,554 --> 01:00:02,968
- I got nothing left. Okay?
- I got nothing left.
- 1178
- 01:00:03,517 --> 01:00:06,621
- Yeah, I risked everything
- for this meeting with Prescott, okay?
- 1179
- 01:00:06,645 --> 01:00:08,039
- And I'm not even sure if I can do this.
- 1180
- 01:00:08,063 --> 01:00:11,292
- Look... Look at me, Robert! Look at me.
- 1181
- 01:00:11,316 --> 01:00:13,377
- If this is as good
- as your research suggests
- 1182
- 01:00:13,401 --> 01:00:14,921
- then your dreams have come true.
- 1183
- 01:00:14,945 --> 01:00:18,216
- Now you need to put
- the personal shit aside
- 1184
- 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,981
- and you go in there and you own that room.
- 1185
- 01:00:20,867 --> 01:00:21,948
- You got me?
- 1186
- 01:00:24,871 --> 01:00:26,237
- Come on, let's go.
- 1187
- 01:00:27,874 --> 01:00:28,955
- Leave that.
- 1188
- 01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:51,771
- Mr. Prescott, this is Robert Gayle.
- 1189
- 01:00:52,774 --> 01:00:54,627
- The persistent Mr. Gayle.
- 1190
- 01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:56,671
- Like a gale force wind.
- 1191
- 01:00:56,695 --> 01:00:58,311
- All right. Let's hear this pitch.
- 1192
- 01:01:04,161 --> 01:01:06,430
- What happened? Did we make it in time?
- 1193
- 01:01:06,454 --> 01:01:07,410
- No.
- 1194
- 01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:08,988
- So we're gonna lose our trucks?
- 1195
- 01:01:11,084 --> 01:01:14,522
- We can keep the trucks.
- We lost him as a client.
- 1196
- 01:01:14,546 --> 01:01:16,357
- He won't give us the money for this house.
- 1197
- 01:01:16,381 --> 01:01:17,371
- (SIGHS)
- 1198
- 01:01:19,801 --> 01:01:21,337
- It's gonna be okay, baby.
- 1199
- 01:01:24,097 --> 01:01:25,178
- Is she okay?
- 1200
- 01:01:27,434 --> 01:01:28,265
- No.
- 1201
- 01:01:29,269 --> 01:01:30,680
- MELINDA: I wasn't.
- 1202
- 01:01:31,938 --> 01:01:34,021
- I was in that place that scares me.
- 1203
- 01:01:35,233 --> 01:01:37,316
- That place between present and furious.
- 1204
- 01:01:37,819 --> 01:01:39,685
- I had lost all rhyme and reason.
- 1205
- 01:01:40,614 --> 01:01:43,134
- It's like nothing mattered
- but getting even.
- 1206
- 01:01:43,158 --> 01:01:46,512
- I was told I get it from my daddy,
- but his was quiet.
- 1207
- 01:01:46,536 --> 01:01:47,526
- Mine...
- 1208
- 01:01:48,455 --> 01:01:51,100
- I would burn a whole house down
- with me in it
- 1209
- 01:01:51,124 --> 01:01:53,457
- to get to the motherfucker
- that done me wrong.
- 1210
- 01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:57,607
- ...and the lipo and nickel,
- and the Gayle Force Wind...
- 1211
- 01:01:57,631 --> 01:01:59,372
- Okay, I've heard enough.
- 1212
- 01:02:00,425 --> 01:02:02,570
- Our team has received your research.
- 1213
- 01:02:02,594 --> 01:02:05,553
- They believe it can work,
- even though you don't have a prototype.
- 1214
- 01:02:06,056 --> 01:02:10,745
- We wanna offer you $800,000 today
- 1215
- 01:02:10,769 --> 01:02:15,041
- for all your notes and research,
- and any plans that you have.
- 1216
- 01:02:15,065 --> 01:02:18,024
- You will have to sign
- a non-compete, of course.
- 1217
- 01:02:18,818 --> 01:02:20,684
- $800,000. Um...
- 1218
- 01:02:23,531 --> 01:02:26,194
- You wanna buy... Buy my work?
- 1219
- 01:02:26,826 --> 01:02:27,862
- Yes.
- 1220
- 01:02:29,162 --> 01:02:30,698
- That's how this goes.
- 1221
- 01:02:31,289 --> 01:02:34,202
- We are prepared
- to write you a check today.
- 1222
- 01:02:34,834 --> 01:02:36,450
- (SIGHS) Um...
- 1223
- 01:02:38,713 --> 01:02:41,692
- No offense, Mr. Prescott...
- 1224
- 01:02:41,716 --> 01:02:44,028
- I have no intentions of selling my work.
- 1225
- 01:02:44,052 --> 01:02:49,784
- I wanna own my copyrights
- and license it to you for a term.
- 1226
- 01:02:49,808 --> 01:02:54,098
- When this thing hits the market,
- it will bring billions to your firm.
- 1227
- 01:02:56,273 --> 01:03:00,211
- I only think it's right for me
- to participate in that upside.
- 1228
- 01:03:00,235 --> 01:03:04,946
- Yes. But I would be taking all the risk
- and spending all the money to perfect it.
- 1229
- 01:03:05,490 --> 01:03:09,845
- $800,000 is my offer to you, Mr. Gayle.
- 1230
- 01:03:09,869 --> 01:03:11,701
- And it's not changing.
- 1231
- 01:03:13,081 --> 01:03:14,913
- Take it or leave it.
- 1232
- 01:03:22,215 --> 01:03:23,205
- Um...
- 1233
- 01:03:25,635 --> 01:03:27,001
- I'm gonna have to say no.
- 1234
- 01:03:31,224 --> 01:03:33,828
- I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
- 1235
- 01:03:33,852 --> 01:03:35,844
- Sure. Okay.
- 1236
- 01:03:38,732 --> 01:03:41,691
- Well, thank you.
- Sorry, Mr. Prescott.
- 1237
- 01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:04,292
- Robert. Robert!
- 1238
- 01:04:05,091 --> 01:04:06,502
- Wait, Robert!
- 1239
- 01:04:10,347 --> 01:04:12,116
- There's no way I can take that deal.
- 1240
- 01:04:12,140 --> 01:04:14,132
- It's a lot of money...
- Not for him.
- 1241
- 01:04:15,643 --> 01:04:16,850
- This is my life.
- 1242
- 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:21,647
- What did I do?
- 1243
- 01:04:24,819 --> 01:04:25,855
- I'm sorry.
- 1244
- 01:04:26,654 --> 01:04:29,216
- Robert, I'm sorry,
- especially about the wallet.
- 1245
- 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,776
- Robert. Robert.
- 1246
- 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,797
- Look, first let me just say this.
- 1247
- 01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:54,926
- I did not do anything with Diana.
- 1248
- 01:04:56,017 --> 01:04:58,079
- I found out that she worked at Prescott,
- 1249
- 01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,789
- and we went out for coffee
- to talk business,
- 1250
- 01:04:59,813 --> 01:05:01,270
- and that was it.
- 1251
- 01:05:01,940 --> 01:05:03,834
- And she got into the truck
- because her daddy
- 1252
- 01:05:03,858 --> 01:05:05,690
- was some kind of driver
- or something like that.
- 1253
- 01:05:06,277 --> 01:05:08,756
- And her...
- Her wallet fell out of her purse.
- 1254
- 01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:11,217
- Look, listen, I know it makes
- no damn sense,
- 1255
- 01:05:11,241 --> 01:05:12,823
- but it's the truth.
- 1256
- 01:05:19,332 --> 01:05:21,369
- And the reason why
- I didn't make the deliveries
- 1257
- 01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:24,288
- because Prescott called me, baby,
- 1258
- 01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:27,584
- to see the battery.
- 1259
- 01:05:28,716 --> 01:05:31,129
- They offered me $800,000.
- 1260
- 01:05:31,886 --> 01:05:34,240
- And he was ready
- to write that check today.
- 1261
- 01:05:34,264 --> 01:05:36,927
- And I'm sure if I had a prototype,
- it would have been a lot more.
- 1262
- 01:05:38,268 --> 01:05:41,011
- $800,000 today?
- 1263
- 01:05:42,063 --> 01:05:43,929
- Yeah.
- KALVIN: You need to take the money.
- 1264
- 01:05:44,190 --> 01:05:45,334
- Look, I can't.
- 1265
- 01:05:45,358 --> 01:05:47,475
- There is no damn money. He lying.
- 1266
- 01:05:49,362 --> 01:05:50,352
- Baby...
- 1267
- 01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:56,137
- Can we talk by ourselves?
- Sure.
- 1268
- 01:05:56,161 --> 01:05:57,277
- Sure.
- 1269
- 01:05:58,788 --> 01:06:00,871
- Just let me understand this.
- 1270
- 01:06:03,501 --> 01:06:07,495
- Some random bitch
- that I caught you with before
- 1271
- 01:06:08,173 --> 01:06:10,631
- just happens to be in your truck
- 1272
- 01:06:11,551 --> 01:06:13,292
- and leaves her wallet?
- 1273
- 01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:18,343
- This house is getting foreclosed on.
- 1274
- 01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:24,520
- And you turned down an $800,000 check
- 1275
- 01:06:24,772 --> 01:06:26,308
- that Mr. Prescott
- 1276
- 01:06:27,609 --> 01:06:29,475
- was gonna write you today?
- 1277
- 01:06:31,154 --> 01:06:33,382
- Is this the bullshit you selling me?
- 1278
- 01:06:33,406 --> 01:06:34,633
- Baby, this is not bullshit.
- 1279
- 01:06:34,657 --> 01:06:36,051
- Then call him and take the offer.
- 1280
- 01:06:36,075 --> 01:06:37,111
- It's not a good offer.
- 1281
- 01:06:37,994 --> 01:06:40,764
- It's not a good offer, baby.
- "It's not a good offer."
- 1282
- 01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:42,996
- So I just lose my mother's house?
- 1283
- 01:06:45,418 --> 01:06:47,480
- Baby, I'll buy you a bigger house.
- 1284
- 01:06:47,504 --> 01:06:49,086
- As a matter of fact,
- 1285
- 01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:54,737
- we're gonna live in a high-rise building
- overlooking the city.
- 1286
- 01:06:54,761 --> 01:06:56,753
- And that diamond...
- 1287
- 01:06:58,848 --> 01:07:00,009
- I'm gonna get you.
- 1288
- 01:07:01,351 --> 01:07:04,310
- And the Mrs. Gayle, private jet.
- 1289
- 01:07:05,271 --> 01:07:07,124
- We're gonna make it, baby.
- 1290
- 01:07:07,148 --> 01:07:08,250
- This is it.
- 1291
- 01:07:08,274 --> 01:07:09,685
- No, we're not.
- 1292
- 01:07:11,611 --> 01:07:13,568
- No, we're not gonna make it.
- 1293
- 01:07:15,406 --> 01:07:16,897
- You had a good woman.
- 1294
- 01:07:21,371 --> 01:07:23,158
- I would do anything for you.
- 1295
- 01:07:24,499 --> 01:07:25,455
- And I did.
- 1296
- 01:07:28,002 --> 01:07:28,958
- And you lie
- 1297
- 01:07:30,213 --> 01:07:32,626
- and you cheat on me.
- 1298
- 01:07:38,888 --> 01:07:41,130
- You're a motherfucking loser.
- 1299
- 01:07:43,518 --> 01:07:45,726
- Don't talk to me like that, baby, please.
- 1300
- 01:07:47,689 --> 01:07:50,227
- I'm done with you. I'm done.
- 1301
- 01:07:50,775 --> 01:07:54,894
- I need you to get your shit while you can,
- and I need you to get out.
- 1302
- 01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:57,237
- I want a divorce.
- 1303
- 01:07:58,324 --> 01:07:59,235
- Mel...
- 1304
- 01:08:01,828 --> 01:08:02,846
- Mel, please.
- 1305
- 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:04,807
- No.
- Mel, I love you.
- 1306
- 01:08:04,831 --> 01:08:05,696
- Please.
- 1307
- 01:08:06,374 --> 01:08:07,768
- You're really gonna do this?
- 1308
- 01:08:07,792 --> 01:08:10,980
- Why don't you go find that bitch
- and let her take you in?
- 1309
- 01:08:11,004 --> 01:08:12,245
- Get out.
- Mel.
- 1310
- 01:08:13,214 --> 01:08:15,251
- Get out!
- 1311
- 01:08:18,428 --> 01:08:20,489
- Come on, man. You should leave.
- 1312
- 01:08:20,513 --> 01:08:21,845
- I'm not leaving.
- 1313
- 01:08:27,228 --> 01:08:28,309
- You know me.
- 1314
- 01:08:32,150 --> 01:08:35,109
- You know I can be the motherfucking devil.
- 1315
- 01:09:28,623 --> 01:09:31,393
- MELINDA: Three months later,
- I lost my mama's house.
- 1316
- 01:09:31,417 --> 01:09:34,080
- You know, that bastard didn't
- even call to see if I was okay.
- 1317
- 01:09:35,630 --> 01:09:37,292
- He didn't even bother.
- 1318
- 01:09:37,507 --> 01:09:39,089
- He was done with me.
- 1319
- 01:09:41,302 --> 01:09:43,168
- He had gotten all he could.
- 1320
- 01:09:44,472 --> 01:09:47,055
- I guess he was off looking
- for his next victim.
- 1321
- 01:09:47,850 --> 01:09:49,953
- Not caring that I was devastated.
- 1322
- 01:09:49,977 --> 01:09:53,015
- I can't believe
- I let that son of a bitch...
- 1323
- 01:09:54,107 --> 01:09:55,417
- Damn.

- (BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)
- 1325
- 01:10:12,417 --> 01:10:14,033
- I was humiliated.
- 1326
- 01:10:14,502 --> 01:10:16,334
- I had to move in with my sister.
- 1327
- 01:10:19,257 --> 01:10:22,653
- At this age, living with my sister?
- 1328
- 01:10:22,677 --> 01:10:25,489
- All I needed was a bunch of damn cats.
- 1329
- 01:10:25,513 --> 01:10:26,469
- Fuck him!
- 1330
- 01:10:56,878 --> 01:10:58,460
- Who the hell took my damn phone?
- 1331
- 01:11:01,507 --> 01:11:04,361
- MELINDA: I had wasted
- too many years with Robert.
- 1332
- 01:11:04,385 --> 01:11:07,378
- Too many years feeling lonely
- whenever he was around.
- 1333
- 01:11:08,306 --> 01:11:10,923
- Thought it was time for me to move on,
- and so did Brenda.
- 1334
- 01:11:11,726 --> 01:11:15,015
- So she wasted no time trying to
- get me hooked up with Devon.
- 1335
- 01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:17,791
- She heard that he was divorced.
- 1336
- 01:11:17,815 --> 01:11:22,685
- So, much to my disapproval,
- she called him up and we went out.
- 1337
- 01:11:23,988 --> 01:11:27,982
- My divorce wasn't even final,
- but what the hell?
- 1338
- 01:11:30,912 --> 01:11:32,869
- So there I was, out with a man.
- 1339
- 01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:35,267
- A man that could pay the check
- 1340
- 01:11:35,291 --> 01:11:37,978
- and who commanded attention
- when he walked into the room.
- 1341
- 01:11:38,002 --> 01:11:39,288
- All eyes on him.
- 1342
- 01:11:40,171 --> 01:11:42,458
- And yet, it felt strange.
- 1343
- 01:11:42,673 --> 01:11:45,235
- It felt foreign. It felt wrong.
- 1344
- 01:11:45,259 --> 01:11:47,446
- It... It was like I was starting over
- 1345
- 01:11:47,470 --> 01:11:50,679
- and learning how things
- were really supposed to be.
- 1346
- 01:11:51,641 --> 01:11:54,703
- And I thought about Robert
- from time to time.
- 1347
- 01:11:54,727 --> 01:11:57,456
- Sometimes with sympathy
- but mostly with anger.
- 1348
- 01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:00,018
- Especially when I looked up
- and saw his ass.
- 1349
- 01:12:00,942 --> 01:12:04,106
- There he was in the damn kitchen,
- washing dishes.
- 1350
- 01:12:04,946 --> 01:12:09,259
- All that money I wasted helping him,
- and his ass is in the damn kitchen?
- 1351
- 01:12:09,283 --> 01:12:10,615
- Of all restaurants!
- 1352
- 01:12:11,285 --> 01:12:12,992
- I got mad all over again.
- 1353
- 01:12:13,454 --> 01:12:19,770
- I wanted my $1,234,908.07
- 1354
- 01:12:19,794 --> 01:12:22,731
- And that's with him
- paying me back every dime,
- 1355
- 01:12:22,755 --> 01:12:25,418
- and then half of all
- the bills for all those years.
- 1356
- 01:12:26,133 --> 01:12:29,672
- Looks like his ass will be washing
- a lot of dishes to pay me back.
- 1357
- 01:12:30,304 --> 01:12:32,115
- Fuck it, I'll cut my losses.
- 1358
- 01:12:32,139 --> 01:12:33,425
- Just give me a divorce.
- 1359
- 01:12:41,566 --> 01:12:42,852
- Sorry I'm late.
- 1360
- 01:12:48,155 --> 01:12:49,691
- It's a family divorce, I see.
- 1361
- 01:12:50,324 --> 01:12:52,156
- She wanted us here.
- 1362
- 01:12:52,743 --> 01:12:54,700
- Is your lawyer here, Mr. Gayle?
- 1363
- 01:12:56,789 --> 01:12:58,141
- I can't afford a lawyer.

- Keep it all. Everything.
- I don't want anything.
- 1373

- I just wanna say this and I'm done...
- 1374

- Mel, I am so sorry that
- I couldn't be what you needed.
- 1375

- But I...
- 1376
- 01:13:34,911 --> 01:13:39,326
- I never cheated on you again,
- after I saw what it did to you.
- 1377
- 01:13:42,376 --> 01:13:44,313
- I found out what love is

- for the first time in my life
- because of you.
- 1379

- I can honestly say with all my heart
- that I love you.

- I will always love you, Mel.

- I'm sorry.

- Well...

- 01:19:44,196 --> 01:19:45,357
- Still asleep?
- 1476
- 01:19:47,866 --> 01:19:49,010
- Shit. Damn it.
- 1477
- 01:19:49,034 --> 01:19:50,570
- I can't believe I slept this long.
- 1478
- 01:19:51,495 --> 01:19:53,306
- I gotta get to the restaurant.
- 1479
- 01:19:53,330 --> 01:19:55,016
- I called them and told them you quit.
- 1480
- 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,434
- What? What?
- 1481
- 01:19:56,458 --> 01:19:59,562
- No, Diana, you have no idea how hard it is
- for me to get a damn job.
- 1482
- 01:19:59,586 --> 01:20:01,543
- Why would you do that?
- 1483
- 01:20:06,010 --> 01:20:07,126
- What's this?
- 1484
- 01:20:20,524 --> 01:20:21,685
- Is this real?
- 1485
- 01:20:23,527 --> 01:20:24,358
- Yeah.
- 1486
- 01:20:35,581 --> 01:20:37,767
- This is... This is the offer?
- 1487
- 01:20:37,791 --> 01:20:38,622
- Yeah.
- 1488
- 01:20:39,752 --> 01:20:41,869
- I begged Victor to let me tell you.
- 1489
- 01:20:42,713 --> 01:20:45,581
- I'm pretty sure this is
- Prescott's best and final.
- 1490
- 01:20:47,259 --> 01:20:48,737
- And this the best part, Robert,
- 1491
- 01:20:48,761 --> 01:20:51,114
- that this is a license for the technology.
- 1492
- 01:20:51,138 --> 01:20:52,800
- You still own the IP.
- 1493
- 01:20:55,476 --> 01:20:56,432
- You did it.
- 1494
- 01:20:58,228 --> 01:20:59,309
- You did it.
- 1495
- 01:21:17,623 --> 01:21:18,725
- Mel.
- What?
- 1496
- 01:21:18,749 --> 01:21:20,035
- Melinda!
- 1497
- 01:21:20,459 --> 01:21:21,791
- What?
- Look.
- 1498
- 01:21:26,590 --> 01:21:27,956
- What the hell?
- 1499
- 01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:30,883
- No way.
- Go.
- 1500
- 01:21:54,576 --> 01:21:55,845
- How are you?
- 1501
- 01:21:55,869 --> 01:21:56,780
- I'm busy.
- 1502
- 01:21:58,038 --> 01:21:59,870
- I just need 10 minutes of your time.
- 1503
- 01:22:00,541 --> 01:22:01,748
- You have two.
- 1504
- 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:03,791
- Okay.
- 1505
- 01:22:05,129 --> 01:22:07,792
- I just wanted to come here to tell you
- thank you for loving me.
- 1506
- 01:22:08,382 --> 01:22:11,796
- You know, there were times
- when I doubted myself...
- 1507
- 01:22:12,469 --> 01:22:14,906
- You kept working and kept me believing.
- 1508
- 01:22:14,930 --> 01:22:18,701
- Um... We are never getting back together.
- 1509
- 01:22:18,725 --> 01:22:19,744
- Okay?
- Yeah.
- 1510
- 01:22:19,768 --> 01:22:21,225
- Never.
- I know.
- 1511
- 01:22:23,147 --> 01:22:24,558
- So what is this?
- 1512
- 01:22:25,190 --> 01:22:28,711
- You borrow a suit,
- and you come up here and try to...
- 1513
- 01:22:28,735 --> 01:22:30,897
- (SCOFFS)...impress me?
- 1514
- 01:22:31,363 --> 01:22:32,274
- For what?
- 1515
- 01:22:33,407 --> 01:22:34,864
- My battery. It...
- 1516
- 01:22:36,285 --> 01:22:37,116
- It hit.
- 1517
- 01:22:38,078 --> 01:22:40,035
- Yeah. I signed a deal.
- 1518
- 01:22:40,414 --> 01:22:42,497
- And I'm in business with Prescott.
- 1519
- 01:22:44,835 --> 01:22:46,042
- Good for you.
- 1520
- 01:22:53,844 --> 01:22:55,051
- Good for us.
- 1521
- 01:22:58,807 --> 01:23:02,036
- I know our divorce is finalized,
- but I wanted you to have this
- 1522
- 01:23:02,060 --> 01:23:04,247
- for everything you've done for me
- over the years.
- 1523
- 01:23:04,271 --> 01:23:07,667
- I don't know of any woman
- who would have put up with me,
- 1524
- 01:23:07,691 --> 01:23:10,183
- loved me, cared for me...
- 1525
- 01:23:11,403 --> 01:23:13,065
- Believed in me.
- 1526
- 01:23:13,822 --> 01:23:15,438
- I don't blame you.
- 1527
- 01:23:16,033 --> 01:23:18,616
- Like I said, I started to doubt myself.
- 1528
- 01:23:19,453 --> 01:23:22,446
- I'm just sorry that my dream
- took so long to come true.
- 1529
- 01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,518
- Anyway, look.
- 1530
- 01:23:25,542 --> 01:23:28,330
- You gave me two minutes,
- I'm sure it's just about up.
- 1531
- 01:23:29,546 --> 01:23:30,832
- I love you, Mel.
- 1532
- 01:23:32,716 --> 01:23:34,002
- I always will.
- 1533
- 01:23:38,722 --> 01:23:41,055
- Oh. I almost forgot.
- 1534
- 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,301
- Your mama's house.
- 1535
- 01:23:46,480 --> 01:23:47,874
- It's yours again.
- 1536
- 01:23:47,898 --> 01:23:50,084
- Might look a little different
- on the inside
- 1537
- 01:23:50,108 --> 01:23:52,420
- 'cause of the last owners, but...
- 1538
- 01:23:52,444 --> 01:23:53,685
- It's yours.
- 1539
- 01:24:30,857 --> 01:24:33,294
- You're taking all day, baby.
- BRENDA: My partner got it.
- 1540
- 01:24:33,318 --> 01:24:34,308
- It's mine.
- 1541
- 01:24:34,903 --> 01:24:36,297
- Bam!
- JUNE: Boo.
- 1542
- 01:24:36,321 --> 01:24:37,590
- That's what I'm talking about.
- I got you on this one.
- 1543
- 01:24:37,614 --> 01:24:38,800
- All right. Let's go, let's go.
- 1544
- 01:24:38,824 --> 01:24:40,677
- Hey, sissy.
- Thank you, thank you.
- 1545
- 01:24:40,701 --> 01:24:42,442
- Hey, Melinda.
- Where you been?
- 1546
- 01:24:44,288 --> 01:24:45,348
- You're late, babe.
- 1547
- 01:24:45,372 --> 01:24:47,864
- What's up, Mel?
- Yeah, I know.
- 1548
- 01:24:49,376 --> 01:24:51,813
- Did Robert give you this?
- Yeah.
- 1549
- 01:24:51,837 --> 01:24:53,624
- Along with these keys
- 1550
- 01:24:54,214 --> 01:24:56,109
- and the deed to Mama's house.
- 1551
- 01:24:56,133 --> 01:24:57,044
- What?
- 1552
- 01:24:58,093 --> 01:24:59,821
- Yeah, his battery hit.
- 1553
- 01:24:59,845 --> 01:25:02,053
- He's in business with Prescott.
- 1554
- 01:25:04,224 --> 01:25:05,952
- I'm calling the bank
- first thing in the morning.
- 1555
- 01:25:05,976 --> 01:25:08,719
- I already did, and it's good.
- 1556
- 01:25:09,730 --> 01:25:10,641
- Damn.
- 1557
- 01:25:11,231 --> 01:25:12,893
- He hit like this?
- 1558
- 01:25:13,150 --> 01:25:16,314
- I knew he would. That dude is smart.
- 1559
- 01:25:16,862 --> 01:25:18,148
- Mel, when did you see him?
- 1560
- 01:25:19,489 --> 01:25:21,342
- He came to my job to tell me he was sorry,
- 1561
- 01:25:21,366 --> 01:25:25,030
- and that he loved me,
- and he wanted to give me that.
- 1562
- 01:25:25,495 --> 01:25:26,986
- Oh, my God.
- 1563
- 01:25:27,414 --> 01:25:30,476
- That is so sweet.
- We ain't never had this kind of money.
- 1564
- 01:25:30,500 --> 01:25:31,331
- Wow.
- 1565
- 01:25:32,628 --> 01:25:34,164
- He really did it.
- 1566
- 01:25:35,213 --> 01:25:36,169
- Well...
- 1567
- 01:25:36,882 --> 01:25:38,965
- you always thought he would.
- 1568
- 01:25:39,968 --> 01:25:41,425
- $10 million.
- 1569
- 01:25:41,845 --> 01:25:43,656
- Hell, go cash this before
- he changes his mind or something...
- 1570
- 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,116
- He won't.
- 1571
- 01:25:45,140 --> 01:25:46,618
- Well, let's not take no chances.
- 1572
- 01:25:46,642 --> 01:25:47,785
- Let's go to the bank
- first thing in the morning.
- 1573
- 01:25:47,809 --> 01:25:49,037
- That bastard
- might have a change of heart or...
- 1574
- 01:25:49,061 --> 01:25:51,348
- Shut the fuck up.
- 1575
- 01:25:53,106 --> 01:25:54,847
- Why did I listen to you?
- 1576
- 01:25:56,485 --> 01:25:59,172
- I mean, both of you are
- some miserable bitches.
- 1577
- 01:25:59,196 --> 01:26:01,132
- Neither one of you are happy
- with these bastards,
- 1578
- 01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:03,051
- and I listened to you.
- 1579
- 01:26:03,075 --> 01:26:05,488
- Now you just wait one minute.
- No, no.
- 1580
- 01:26:06,286 --> 01:26:11,392
- Everybody in this town knows Kalvin
- has a baby in Ellenwood.
- 1581
- 01:26:11,416 --> 01:26:15,104
- And, well, Casey, you know
- what they say about you.
- 1582
- 01:26:15,128 --> 01:26:16,272
- Melinda!
- 1583
- 01:26:16,296 --> 01:26:19,664
- Devon, you should go home
- and never call me again.
- 1584
- 01:26:20,342 --> 01:26:22,779
- You are horrible in bed.
- 1585
- 01:26:22,803 --> 01:26:24,089
- You snore,
- 1586
- 01:26:24,304 --> 01:26:27,297
- and you are too big
- to have such a little dick.
- 1587
- 01:26:30,102 --> 01:26:31,968
- MELINDA: Fucking shit.
- 1588
- 01:26:42,447 --> 01:26:44,313
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- 1589
- 01:26:46,118 --> 01:26:47,074
- Hold on.
- 1590
- 01:26:56,461 --> 01:26:57,292
- Hi.
- 1591
- 01:26:58,130 --> 01:27:00,167
- The address was on the check.
- 1592
- 01:27:01,675 --> 01:27:02,756
- Yeah. Yeah.
- 1593
- 01:27:03,593 --> 01:27:05,960
- And I remembered the building.
- 1594
- 01:27:08,181 --> 01:27:11,049
- (MELINDA LAUGHING IN DELIGHT)
- 1595
- 01:27:13,603 --> 01:27:16,846
- This is the building
- you said we would live in.
- 1596
- 01:27:19,818 --> 01:27:22,356
- You look great.
- 1597
- 01:27:24,114 --> 01:27:25,070
- Thank you.
- 1598
- 01:27:26,867 --> 01:27:28,403
- And this view...
- 1599
- 01:27:30,704 --> 01:27:31,740
- Oh!
- 1600
- 01:27:32,456 --> 01:27:33,992
- This view!
- 1601
- 01:27:35,834 --> 01:27:37,575
- (CHUCKLES)
- 1602
- 01:27:37,961 --> 01:27:39,372
- Top floor.
- 1603
- 01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:42,212
- You said the top floor.
- 1604
- 01:27:43,383 --> 01:27:45,069
- Out of your dreams.
- 1605
- 01:27:45,093 --> 01:27:48,336
- This is just like everything
- you described to me.
- 1606
- 01:27:49,556 --> 01:27:51,468
- I'm so proud of you.
- 1607
- 01:27:53,393 --> 01:27:54,537
- Thank you.
- 1608
- 01:27:54,561 --> 01:27:56,393
- And when you said you loved me,
- 1609
- 01:27:57,981 --> 01:28:02,191
- I realized I still love you
- very, very much.
- 1610
- 01:28:04,863 --> 01:28:07,341
- And I should have believed you
- 1611
- 01:28:07,365 --> 01:28:09,552
- when you said you weren't with her.
- 1612
- 01:28:09,576 --> 01:28:12,535
- But my sisters, my sisters.
- They got in my head.
- 1613
- 01:28:13,330 --> 01:28:15,224
- That's all behind us now, Mel.
- 1614
- 01:28:15,248 --> 01:28:17,535
- I'm so glad you said that.
- 1615
- 01:28:20,545 --> 01:28:22,502
- Sorry I'm late, babe.
- 1616
- 01:28:30,639 --> 01:28:31,470
- Hey...
- 1617
- 01:28:32,641 --> 01:28:35,304
- Baby, this is Melinda, my ex-wife.
- 1618
- 01:28:38,230 --> 01:28:39,141
- Hi.
- 1619
- 01:28:39,898 --> 01:28:42,982
- I'm Diana. I'm Robert's fiancée.
- 1620
- 01:28:43,485 --> 01:28:45,772
- MELINDA: There she was.
- 1621
- 01:28:46,696 --> 01:28:49,801
- The bitch I tried to kill
- all those years ago
- 1622
- 01:28:49,825 --> 01:28:53,012
- standing in my apartment,
- 1623
- 01:28:53,036 --> 01:28:55,244
- wearing my ring.
- 1624
- 01:28:56,081 --> 01:28:57,492
- Looking at me.
- 1625
- 01:29:11,263 --> 01:29:16,702
- That son of a bitch humiliated me again
- in front of that same whore.
- 1626
- 01:29:16,726 --> 01:29:18,329
- I can't believe he let me
- pour my heart out
- 1627
- 01:29:18,353 --> 01:29:20,498
- and she was in there all that time.
- 1628
- 01:29:20,522 --> 01:29:23,876
- This bitch was living my life.
- 1629
- 01:29:23,900 --> 01:29:26,517
- The one I bought and paid for.
- 1630
- 01:29:26,945 --> 01:29:29,340
- He would always like
- to do it in the shower
- 1631
- 01:29:29,364 --> 01:29:33,177
- because he said it reminded him of us
- when we met in the rain.
- 1632
- 01:29:33,201 --> 01:29:35,555
- You see why I hate the rain?
- 1633
- 01:29:35,579 --> 01:29:39,118
- I'm sure he was with that bitch
- in the shower.
- 1634
- 01:29:40,083 --> 01:29:42,700
- That was supposed to be mine.
- 1635
- 01:29:43,336 --> 01:29:44,827
- Tasting her.
- 1636
- 01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:49,790
- Fucking her.
- 1637
- 01:29:54,556 --> 01:29:56,218
- Using what I taught him.
- 1638
- 01:29:57,058 --> 01:29:59,675
- Using my tricks on that trick.
- 1639
- 01:30:02,188 --> 01:30:05,501

- with Prescott & Howard Industries

- while he was still married
- to my client, Your Honor.

- He also received all the investments

- for the Gayle Force battery
- from my client's income alone,
- 1737

- and the email chains,
- 1740

- and an affidavit from
- Prescott & Howard Industries.
- 1741
- 01:34:50,185 --> 01:34:52,371
- They attest that the deal wasn't offered
- 1742
- 01:34:52,395 --> 01:34:55,559
- until well after Mr. Gayle
- and your client were divorced.
- 1743
- 01:34:57,734 --> 01:35:00,754
- And seeing as he didn't ask
- for the divorce, she did,

- 01:35:00,778 --> 01:35:01,894
- I'm confused.
- 1745

- Well, Your Honor...
- I'm not done.
- 1746
- 01:35:05,408 --> 01:35:10,222
- After the divorce, he gave your client
- $10 million voluntarily.
- 1747
- 01:35:10,246 --> 01:35:12,641
- And then he rebought the family house
- 1748
- 01:35:12,665 --> 01:35:14,393
- and gave that to her.

- Yes, Your Honor.
- 1751
- 01:35:17,212 --> 01:35:19,940
- And how much are you claiming for damages?
- 1752
- 01:35:19,964 --> 01:35:22,484
- Well, she invested over $1.2 million
- 1753
- 01:35:22,508 --> 01:35:23,944
- over the course of their marriage.
- 1754
- 01:35:23,968 --> 01:35:27,031
- And we're asking for half the value
- of the Gayle Force battery,
- 1755
- 01:35:27,055 --> 01:35:30,743
- which deems to exceed
- approximately $150 million.
- 1756
- 01:35:30,767 --> 01:35:33,259
- Okay, enough. That's ridiculous.
- 1757

- has been more than fair.

- 1760
- 01:35:42,570 --> 01:35:45,633
- I should get half of what he got.
- That is fair.

- Listen. This court has spoken.
- 1762
- 01:35:47,450 --> 01:35:51,680
- Don't you understand that
- he didn't have to give you anything?
- 1763
- 01:35:51,704 --> 01:35:55,100
- This is one of the most generous gestures
- this court has ever seen.
- 1764

- This case is dismissed.
- 1765
- 01:35:58,336 --> 01:36:01,440
- Also, Your Honor,
- there's another matter on the docket.
- 1766

- Mrs. Moore has been harassing
- the future Mrs. Gayle.

- You'll see all the evidence
- presented there in front of you.
- 1768
- 01:36:07,971 --> 01:36:11,408
- We're asking for a restraining order
- for both Mr. and Mrs. Gayle.
- 1769
- 01:36:11,432 --> 01:36:13,160
- I'm the one who should get
- the damn restraining order.
- 1770
- 01:36:13,184 --> 01:36:15,788
- Counselor, control your client!
- Melinda.
- 1771

- I don't need to be controlled.
- I'm not an animal.

- This is America.

- 01:36:24,737 --> 01:36:26,674
- I have freedom of speech.

- 1776
- 01:36:27,865 --> 01:36:30,152
- You could spend time in jail, Mrs. Moore.

- Do it again, and you will.
- 1778

- from Mr. and Mrs. Gayle.

- Do you understand?
- They're not married.

- Stop it now. Please stop.
- Enough, enough!
