Michael Kuzak:
It's not all my fault. Ray never told us that his wife has been married before.

Arnie Becker:
[while reading the Davis marriage and divorce papers] I don't think Ray even knew. Apparently his wife fled from her abusive criminal husband who never gave her a proper annulment before she married Ray Davis while she was living in Mexico under her false name. There's no way that either Ray or Michael could have known about this prior to trial. Douglas, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
No? Trust me, the legal malpractice sharks will be at our door salivating this.

Arnie Becker:
You think this was malpractice?

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
I don't, but you can be damn sure that Ray Davis is gonna find someone who does.

Michael Kuzak:
When I left him, he was a little too devastated to be even thinking about formulating a battle plan to sue us.

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Believe me, that won't last. In five days from now, he and his new lawyers are gonna be rising up like the wrath of God.

Michael Kuzak:
Well, he will go after somebody.

Arnie Becker:
Hey Mike, if's Ray's gonna go after somebody, that somebody is us. Douglas is right. Ray does have the grounds to sue all of us for malpractice.

Michael Kuzak:
Well, maybe it should be us. How else is he going to get any compensation for this disaster?

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Uh-oh. This attitude of yours worries me. I got a distinct feeling that in an attempt to offer Ray Davis compassion with your very own admitted words: "oh I'm very sorry, Ray. I could have done better"... you just served up admissions of negligence!

Michael Kuzak:
The poor man just lost his wife because some hospital let her die because they didn't have any health insurance! On top of that, he finds out that he was never legally married to her in the first place because she kept her whole past a secret from him. Doesn't compassion for Ray Davis enter into this at all for you?

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
So long as it doesn't cost us money.

Michael Kuzak:
Ah, the old refrain! The ultimate lynchpin consideration to which all issues turn!

Douglas Brackman, Jr.:
Don't get high-mined on us, Michael. You are the one who screwed up here! You overlooked making any background check on Ray Davis' wife and didn't find this loophole first! You messed up, not Dorothy, not us... you!

Michael Kuzak:
Careful, Douglas! You'd better not say that outside of this office because it might cost us money!
