Molly's Game2017

Molly Bloom:
Why did you leave the prosecutor’s office and become a defense attorney?

Charlie Jaffey:
My daughter.

Molly Bloom:
You needed to make money.

Charlie Jaffey:
That and I was usually one of the few people who knew where witnesses were being hidden.

Molly Bloom:
It was dangerous.

Charlie Jaffey:
Mm-hm.

Molly Bloom:
So you didn’t leave the prosecutor’s office because you wanted to stand up for the innocent and believe everyone’s entitled to the best defense?

Charlie Jaffey:
Not really.

Molly Bloom:
It would have been helpful if you were Spencer Tracy or... I didn’t know who the Russians were. [pause] I can get you the two-hundred and fifty-thousand, I left ten times that on the street, it’ll just take some time.

Charlie Jaffey:
We do pro bono work - we regularly lend out our best litigators like me to the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, veterans groups - but I don’t think I can convince my partners to take a flyer on the Poker Princess.

Molly Bloom:
I didn’t name myself the Poker Princess.

[Charlie picks up a copy of Us Weekly that’s been tabbed and reads]

Charlie Jaffey:
“Molly Bloom, the self-proclaimed Poker Princess...”

Molly Bloom:
That’s Us Weekly? I agree it would be unusual for them to print something that wasn’t true but it’s not true and if you think a princess could do what I did you’re incorrect. I’m getting that you don’t think much of me but what if every one of your ill informed, unsophisticated opinions about me were wrong?

Charlie Jaffey:
I’d be amazed.

Molly Bloom:
Yeah you know what, bud? You would.

Charlie Jaffey:
You don’t need me, you need a publicist.

Molly Bloom:
No, I need a f***in’ lawyer!
