L.A. Law1986

Marvin Pick:
It never fails to amazed me that people actually think that they can get away with this things. [the name of the sign of his desk in his office, his name is Marvin Pick]

Stuart Markowitz:
Mr. Pick, nobody's trying to get away with anything, if errors were made and calculating Ms. Bauman's tax return, we're directed file those errors.

Marvin Pick:
Come on, Mr. Markowitz, I wasn't born yesterday.

Stuart Markowitz:
What does that mean?

Marvin Pick:
It means that this isn't someone who makes errors. This is someone calculates long and hard to conceal, connive and defraud. This is someone who actually thinks that she doesn't have to pay her right to the share taxes that the United States Government, and I found it absolutely intolerable.

Stuart Markowitz:
Mr. Pick, this entire problem can be attributed to Ms. Bauman's former account.

Marvin Pick:
Hmm. I don't buy that. It appears that in addition to a significant amount of unreported personal income, your client was using corporate employees to, [sighed] perform a variety distinctly non business related functions. [Gwen hand it the paper writing to Stuart]

Celeste Bauman:
Wait a minute. [sighs] I am inviting my company. What it affects me and affects my employees. This is all business related.

Marvin Pick:
You're kidding me, right?

Celeste Bauman:
No, I'm not kidding you.

Marvin Pick:
I would appreciate it, if you would, uh, you know tell your client to stop wasting my time.

Stuart Markowitz:
We have tax returns for the last 10 years, where do you want to start?

Celeste Bauman:
I didn't build my business on - on vitamins and nutrients supplements alone, Mr. Pick. I build it on stamina, I build it on guts, and I build it by hearing to a personal philosophy that does not allow me to become intimidated by anyone.

Stuart Markowitz:
Celeste, Mr. Pick is just trying to do his job.

Marvin Pick:
That's right. And my job is to enforce the tax code. I enforce you comply.

Celeste Bauman:
You're not a well man, Marvin. [Stuart and Gwen turned to Celeste, and looked what's wrong with Celeste] You worked in this miserable office. You drink coffee, and you smoke, and your diet is high and fat, it's low and fiber, it's not nearly dense enough in nutrients. And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if your body wasn't ravaged by intestinal parasites.

Marvin Pick:
You - you know what? You're right. I drink coffee, I smoke, I only eat things that are bad for me, and with all that, I'm still healthy enough to bring you to your knees. Me and my parasites. [Marvin eating the danish]

Celeste Bauman:
You want to know what healthy is? I'll tell you what healthy is. How do you think I am?

Marvin Pick:
I have no idea.

Celeste Bauman:
I'm 75 years old.

Gwen Taylor:
You're 75?

Celeste Bauman:
The reason that I don't look my age, is because I have a healthy life affirming attitude toward everybody in everything. It comes from being a peace with myself, and from being a peace with the whole world. I'm 75, and I'll live to dance on this little pissant's grave. [Marvin is continuing eating the danish] Stuart, Gwen, you know where to reach me? And I know that I shall be hearing from you very soon. [Celeste Bauman is going to leave now. Stuart sees Celeste leaving and turned back to Marvin]
