- Christine Acker: Okay, Mr. Brackman, better get your people in.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: We're in.
- Christine Acker: Just the two of you?
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: How many people did the other firms bring?
- Christine Acker: Bundies, back set for partners, you'll be fine.
- [Douglas here with Law Messenger Benny]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Benny?
- Benny Stulwicz: Yeah.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I want you to sit next to me in the meeting, okay? Like a lawyer.
- Benny Stulwicz: Uh - uh - I don't know.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: It'll be fine. Sit next to me, just take a yellow pad and write. Don't talk. Don't look around. Just look down at the pad and write.
- Christine Acker: Mr. Brackman?
- [Douglas needs a minute with Benny and they'll be in the meeting in few minutes]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Put these on.
- [Douglas will give Benny to put on a reading glasses]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Great.
- [Now Douglas and Benny are now ready for the meeting]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: And get rid of the gum.
- Benny Stulwicz: Uh.
- [Benny has to find out where would he get rid of that chewing gum, Douglas got a tissue, Benny spit out the gum]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Head down. Write.
- [Douglas and Benny are now getting to the conference meeting]
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: McKenzie, Brackman, may not be all things to all men, but we think our strengths and your needs make a nice stiff.
- Christine Acker: I think it's only fair to express my concern about Nobey area office.
- Leo Hackett: That's what the alliance are for. Look, we're severing our tides with Gacey Whitman because I'm want to be able to pick up the phone and talk to my attorneys, I don't want to wait 3 days for a return call.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Of course not.
- Leo Hackett: What's going to make this work is compatibility, because if you don't like the way I do business, if you're constantly having to be the barrier of bad news, it's going to affect your commitment to us.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Rest assure, Leo, that our professional obligation...
- Leo Hackett: What does your associate think?
- [Douglas looks startled. Everyone turns towards Benny who continues writing with his head down]
- Leo Hackett: You.
- Douglas Brackman, Jr.: Uh, Ben?
- [Benny looks hesitantly at Leo]
- Leo Hackett: You heard all this. Uh, how would you assess this imagine terms of compatibility?
- Benny Stulwicz: [after a pause] I don't know.
- Leo Hackett: I don't know either, Ben, but I appreciate the candor. For once, a lawyer doesn't bluff an answer when he doesn't have one. Thank you, Ben.
- [Benny continues writing, Douglas come back to Benny and pat Benny on his shoulder. Benny turned to Douglas. Douglas is so proud. Benny will find out]
