L.A. Law1986

[Knocking on the door is Leland to see Rosalind Shays, as the Office of Senior Partner]

Leland McKenzie:
How goes life at the top?

[Rosalind chuckling]

Rosalind Shays:
As lonely as it's cracked up to be. I'm still a little terrified, Leland.

Leland McKenzie:
Aah. You've got nothing to worry about.

Rosalind Shays:
I'd be a little more self-assured if I'd gotten your vote.

[That was last week]

Leland McKenzie:
And you won the election, Rosalind. Having done so, you get my full support. You need anything, you just ask.

[Rosalind appreciate it]

Rosalind Shays:
Thank you.

[Leland will be leaving and heading back to his office]

Rosalind Shays:
There is one thing you could do for me.

[Leland turned back to Rosalind]

Leland McKenzie:
Name it.

Rosalind Shays:
Start wearing your hearing aids.

Leland McKenzie:
Excuse me?

Rosalind Shays:
I'm sorry. I know that, you wear them to court. And at home in your private life. I think you should wear them here.

Leland McKenzie:
But that's, uh, personal decision, Rosalind.

Rosalind Shays:
Leland, if a client representation is compromised because you didn't catch something or you misheard something. This firm could be subject to a malpractice suit.

Leland McKenzie:
Oh, but that's never happened, Rosalind, and I...

Rosalind Shays:
And it probably never will. But your hearing disability is known. And that makes the possibility of mishap foreseeable. And that leave us exposed to potential liability. Just as you had to look after this place when you were in charge, so now must I.

Leland McKenzie:
Okay, Rosalind. I'll wear 'em.

[Then Leland can go and closed the door. And Rosalind will get back to work]
