L.A. Law1986

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
He's been there 3 months?

Arnie Becker:
According to Roxanne, who knew about this, Benny's been a pretty good parent. He even got the kid enrolled in school, that's a social services caught up with him. Benny couldn't show any proof of legal guardianship.

Stuart Markowitz:
We're the real parents.

Arnie Becker:
No father, mother's an alcoholic who abandoned him. The kid was living on the streets for 10 months.

Ann Kelsey:
Oh, my God.

Arnie Becker:
Look, I promise Benny we try to help get him back. Grace is going to handle it, since I could be a witness.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Wait a second. We're going to actually advocate that Benny keep this kid?

Grace Van Owen:
Why not?

Ann Kelsey:
What's wrong with that?

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
He's mentally retarded.

Arnie Becker:
I pledge this firm support, he gets it, Douglas.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
All right. But please. People, under no circumstances is this firm to assume guardianship responsibilities. On a more soothing note, I'm please to announce that no charges will be filed against Tommy Mullaney in the self defense shooting of John Harvey. [Leland was surprised]

Stuart Markowitz:
That must be a relief.

Tommy Mullaney:
Yeah.

Grace Van Owen:
I'm so surprised, they even considered it.

Tommy Mullaney:
Thanks. Thanks, guys.
