Roman. Hey, Roman.
Where you going?
- Where you going? - MLK.
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
I'd rather walk.
Come on, Roman.
I just want to talk.
William taught a term at Loyola. That's where we met.
I was, uh, top of my class.
Potential's a bitch.
Well, I'll tell you what's not is having four offices and 60 people working for you.
He picked me because I tossed him work.
You know, loser cases I didn't want, or I was too busy to handle.
This, closing his office, it's payback.
I'll collect a fee.
Look, it just so happens I could use someone with your ability
and your power of persuasive argument.
And I'll pay you twice what William gave you. What do you say?
What makes you different from this car?
Whoa.
Really? Okay.
I'm gonna tell you something I think
maybe will surprise and disappoint you.
I got a kickback from William for every single case I gave him.
Bullshit.
I have the records.
Apparently, you've been untouched
by the messy business of running a small criminal defense firm.
Was it wrong?
On some level, sure.
Does it diminish what he did? Hell, no.
No, it allowed him to keep the doors open. It kept you two going.
And to this day, I still remember quotes from his class.
And that voice.
"What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity.
"We are all formed of frailty and error.
"Let us pardon reciprocally each other's follies.
That is the first law of nature."
So what do you say we forget the past and move forward?
Pull over.
I can't work for you.
What are you gonna do?
I'll continue in criminal litigation.
That's a bitch of a market. - What if you can't find something? - What?
For argument's sake, if you can't find a firm that'll take you on, what's next?
There is no next. There is no argument's sake.
There's underwear model or activist attorney. There is no next.
