Stop pressuring me...
|
You're pressuring yourself...
|
No...no...
|
Yes. We've all got to let go.
|
Is it over?
|
No.
|
What are you going to do?
|
I don't have a goddamned idea.
|
Thank you.
|
I have to talk to you.
|
Call the A.M.A. to Laura) ...I can't talk now. ...tell them you're Dr. Somebody...you have to find this nurse...
|
Continental Casualty...
|
Mr. Alito, please.
|
Business hours are over, Sir. This is the switch...
|
I have to reach him. This is an emergency. Could you give me his home number?
|
I'm sorry, Sir, we're not allowed...
|
...Would you, would you call him up. I'll give you my number, and ask him...
|
I can't guarantee that...
|
I understand. Thank you, my name is Galvin. I'll be at the following number in a half an hour. It's urgent.
|
Mr. Galvin's...
|
Let me talk to Mickey.
|
Hello, I'm calling from...
|
If you're selling something, I'm late for work...
|
I'm calling from Professional Nurse Quarterly...
|
From the magazine?
|
This is Mr. Wallace in Subscriptions?
|
How come you're calling me from...?
|
This is Miss Costello...?
|
Yes. Price...
|
Pardon?
|
Kathy Price.
|
We find that your subscription lapsed...
|
My subscription lapsed three years ago...
|
That's why I'm calling, Miss Price...
|
Missus...
|
We have a renewyoursubscription offer...
|
We get it at work. We get the magazine at work.
|
Yes, we know that you do. I have it in my files. That's at the Manhattan Health Center...
|
No. At Chelsea Childcare. Okay. Look, call me Monday, hey? I'm late for work.
|
Yessir. I'm sorry.
|
Why is that?
|
I was held up.
|
Now, have you boys tried to resolve your little difficulty because that certainly would save the Commonwealth a lot of time and bother.
|
This is a complicated case, your Honor...
|
I'm sure it is, Frank: and let me tell you something. If we find it so complex, how in the hell you think you're going to make a jury understand it? See my point? Let's talk a minute. Frank: what will you and your client take right now this very minute to walk out of here and let this damn thing drop?
|
My client can't walk, your Honor.
|
I know full well she can't, Frank. You see the Padre on your way out and he'll punch your ticket. You follow me? I'm trying to help you.
|
That's it...? Come on, guys...life is too short... You tell me if you're playing 'chicken,' or you mean it. Frank: I don't think I'm talking out of school, but I just heard someone offer you two hundred grand...and that's a lot of money...and if I may say, you haven't got the best of records.
|
...things change.
|
...that's true. Sometimes they change, sometimes they don't. Now, I remember back to when you were disbarred...
|
I wasn't disbarred, they dropped the pro...
|
And it seems to me, a fella's trying to come back, he'd take this settlement, and get a record for himself. I myself would take it and run like a thief.
|
I'm sure you would.
|
What is it?
|
Thank you for seeing me.
|
That's perfectly all right.
|
I need an extension for my case.
|
You should have taken their offer. Especially if you were unprepared.
|
I had a witness disappear on me.
|
That happens.
|
I could subpoena him if I had a week.
|
I don't have a week. This case never should have come to trial. You know better. You're Mr. Independent. You want to be independent? Be independent now. I've got no sympathy for you.
|
Is the Plaintiff ready?
|
Ready, your Honor.
|
Defense...?
|
Do we have time this morning to... All right. Mr. Galvin, you want to continue now, or we can resume with Dr. Thompson this afternoon.
|
Thank you, your Honor, I'll continue. Dr. Thompson. Did you examine Deborah Ann Kaye last night at The Northern Chronic Care Facility?
|
Sustained. Yes. The witness will confine his testimony to review of the hospital records.
|
What?
|
I believe that's the law...is it not, Mr. Galvin...?
|
Yes, Mr. Galvin?
|
If I may be permitted to question my own witness in my own way...
|
I'd just like to get to the point, Mr. Galvin. Let's not waste these people's time. Answer the question, Mr. Witness. Please. Would a nineminute lapse in restoring the heartbeat in and of itself be negligence?
|
I got a letter from the Judge Advocate's office on you today, fella, you're on your way out...They should have kicked you out on that Lillibridge case. Now this is it today.
|
I'm an attorney on trial before the bar. Representing my client. My client, do you understand? You open your mouth and you're losing my case for me.
|
Listen to me, fella...
|
No, no, you listen to me. All I wanted in this case is an even shake. You rushed me into court in five days...my star witness disappears, I can't get a continuance, and I don't give a damn. I'm going up there and I'm going to try it. Let the Jury decide. They told me Sweeney he's a hardass, he's a defendant's judge. I don't care. I said, the hell with it. The hell with it. I'll take my chances he'll be fair.
|
Galvin, look, many years ago...
|
And don't give me this shit, 'I was a lawyer, too.' 'Cause I know who you were. You couldn't hack it as a lawyer. You were Bag Man for the Boys and you still are. I know who you are.
|
Are you done?
|
Damn right I'm done. I'm going to ask for a mistrial and I'm going to request that you disqualify yourself from sitting on this case. I'm going to take a transcript to the State and ask that they impeach your ass.
|
You aren't going to get a mistrial, boy. We're going back this afternoon, we're going to try this case to an end. Now you get out of here before I call the Bailiff and have you thrown in jail.
|
Nothing further, your Honor...
|
Mr. Concannon...?
|
I object, your Honor...
|
Overruled...
|
Exception!
|
Noted. Thank you. Miss Costello was a rebuttal witness. Her sole rebuttal was the document, which has been disallowed...
|
I'm Joe Galvin, I'm representing Deborah Ann Kaye, case against St. Catherine Laboure.
|
I told the guy I didn't want to talk to...
|
I'll just take a minute. Deborah Ann Kaye. You know what I'm talking about. The case is going to trial. Our chief witness is a Dr. David Gruber, you know who he is?
|
No.
|
He's the Assistant Chief of Anesthesiology, Massachusetts Commonwealth. He says your doctors, Towler and Marx, put my girl in the hospital for life. And we can prove that. What we don't know is why. What went on in there? In the O.R. That's what we'd like to know. Something went wrong. And you know what it was. They gave her the wrong anesthetic. What happened? The phone rang...someone got distracted...what?
|
...you got your doctor's testimony. Why do you need me?
|
I want someone who was in the O.R. We're going to win the case, there's no question of that. It's just a matter of how big...
|
I've got nothing to say to you.
|
You know what happened.
|
Nothing happened.
|
Then why aren't you testifying for their side?
|
I can subpoena you, you know. I can get you up there on the stand.
