Peter Foxcott QC:
Don't sacrifice real life on the altar of career.
Julia Piper:
I thought career was real life.
Peter Foxcott QC:
Real life? I prosecuted a boy the other week... fifteen... one of four children, each with a different father. He'd murdered the youngest... terrible case, but as he stood there in the dock, shoulders hunched against the sentence, I suddenly realized this shabby, venal, malnourished scrap of humanity had experienced more in his fifteen summers... [He closes his eyes in pain] . You understand? He was more alive than I should ever be.
