00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:50,Boy: I'll give you a boost
if you want.

00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:52,Laura: I don't need your help.

00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,Keith: Ooh. Hell,

00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:34,I washed mine last month.

00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:37,Whoo!

00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:45,Laura, Keith, come here!
Look what I found.

00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:47,Scruffy boy: Holy s***t.
Keith: What the hell's that?

00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,Laura: What is it?
Worker 1: The hell you doing?

00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:51,Get out of here, now!

00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:54,Geez! Come on!

00:02:58,178 --> 00:02:59,Worker: Goddamn kids.

00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:18,Turn off the beam, fool!

00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,Tom: Steve from dow,
Ted from union carbide...

00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,Jerry from exxon
and Andy from allied.

00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:36,Welcome to taft law, gentlemen.

00:04:37,736 --> 00:04:40,Before we get started,
a little housekeeping.

00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:42,Um, all of you know
this young man

00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:44,as the dedicated taft associate

00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:46,who for the past eight years has

00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:49,buried himself
in the superfund law.

00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:50,I'm not paying for that cleanup.

00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:53,Still it is my pleasure
to share with you

00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:57,that just last week, Rob bilott

00:04:57,422 --> 00:05:00,here at taft,

00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:10,Good morning. Taft law.

00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:12,One moment, please.

00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:19,It's the governor's office
calling for uh,

00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:20,calling for Mr. Burke.

00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:25,May I help you?

00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:27,Wilbur tennant
calling on Robbie bilott.

00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,Rondell: Epa has saddled them
with the whole bill

00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:32,and given your client's
history at that site,

00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:38,I'll take it back to them.
Good. Tab 12, middletown...

00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,I know. I'm sorry.

00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:43,But they won't leave.
Who's they?

00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:46,I don't know.
They say they know you.

00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:53,Um... Robert bilott?

00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:56,Um, yes.

00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:00,They call it a landfill.
A dump's what it is.

00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:03,They told my brother and me
no chemicals, just trash.

00:06:03,947 --> 00:06:05,But we ain't stupid.

00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:08,I made them videotapes myself.
All the proof you need.

00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:09,They're poisonin' the creek,
killing my animals.

00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:12,I'm in the middle of a meeting.
So, I want a lawyer.

00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:14,Every d***n one in parkersburg's
too yella to take my case.

00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:16,Rob. He wants you back in there.

00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,They all scared shitless
at dupont.

00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:19,Well, I ain't scared of nobody.

00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:21,Okay. Kathleen is my paralegal.

00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:23,She's gonna give you
a directory of lawyers.

00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:25,That's why
I called your grandma.

00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:29,What? My neighbor who tells me,

00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:30,call Alma white.

00:06:31,474 --> 00:06:34,Her grandson's some fancy environment
lawyer down in Cincinnati.

00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:43,Sir, I ** a corporate
defense attorney.

00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:46,S07?
I defend chemical companies.

00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:48,Well, now you can defend me.
Tom: Rob!

00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:52,Uh, 30 seconds, Tom.

00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:55,Uh, I'm sorry, Mr... Tennant.

00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,I can offer you a referral.

00:06:57,334 --> 00:07:00,But I just don't see how I
can be of any help to you.

00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:02,You can start by watching
them tapes for one thing.

00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:03,Oh, let's go, Earl.

00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,I'm sorry.
I... I wish you all the luck.

00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,I don't need
your d***n luck, boy!

00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:09,I need your help! Tom: Rob!

00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,Come on.

00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:23,I'm not arguing
with the overall analysis.

00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:26,My only point is that
whatever we decide upon...

00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:33,Lawyer: Thank you, gentlemen.

00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,Do you know where we're going?

00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:39,There's a place
right around the corner.

00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:41,Yeah? What the hell
was that all about?

00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:45,He knows my grandmother. Really?

00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:47,Well, my mom's from
West Virginia.

00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:49,Uh, from a town, parkersburg.

00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:52,Not us. My...
My father was air force.

00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:54,We... we moved around a lot,

00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,but we spent the summers there.

00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,Dow lawyer: Come on, terp. You're buying.
Of course I **.

00:07:59,396 --> 00:08:01,You can be
from West Virginia, Rob.

00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,I won't tell anyone.

00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:11,Tom: All right, gentlemen.
Morton's it is.

00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:15,Still deigned to eat
with us lowly associates?

00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:19,You can't drive an American car.

00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,Taft-hartley, union busting?

00:08:24,087 --> 00:08:25,We practically invented it.

00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,"We?"

00:08:27,132 --> 00:08:28,Besides, I know
a highly esteemed partner

00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:30,who still drives American.

00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:31,Some real clunkers too. Okay,

00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:33,yeah, but he collects them.

00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,That's different. Like his

00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,no-name college and law school.

00:08:36,808 --> 00:08:38,No offense. Are you
listening to this?

00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:39,Hey, you guys go ahead,
all right?

00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:42,Look, I didn't mean anything by it.
No. I gotta make a call.

00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,It's all right.
I'll see you there.

00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:44,Okay, we'll save you a fish log.

00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:50,You can be such an a***e.
James: Karla, it was a joke.

00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:51,Karla: Yeah.
James: We always joke.

00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,Karla: Oh, yeah. You guys are
a couple of jokesters.

00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,Alma: You've
reached the residence of Alma white.

00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:08,I can't come to the phone
right now...

00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:12,He's good. He's home
early tonight actually.

00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,Sarah's mom: Tell him I
said, howdy, partner.

00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,She says, "howdy, partner."

00:09:17,098 --> 00:09:18,Are we ever gonna
see him again on Sundays?

00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,Yes, he can still come
to Sunday dinners, mom.

00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:23,He's a partner, not the
President of the United States.

00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:25,I wanna make...
Do you have my bundt pan?

00:09:25,106 --> 00:09:26,Returned it.

00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,Where?
I looked under the counter.

00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:29,It's the right hand cupboard,
in the plastic. Yeah.

00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:32,Okay, well, we just sat down.

00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:33,All right, dear.

00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:34,So, I gotta go.

00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:35,Love to Rob and Teddy.

00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,All right, see you Sunday.
Love to dad.

00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:38,Talk to you later.

00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:39,Can you pretend to be
surprised about the cake?

00:09:39,996 --> 00:09:41,She wants it to be very special.

00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:44,Oh, and the granite samples
came in.

00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:45,Can you pick them up
on your way home tomorrow?

00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:47,Mmm. Rob?

00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:48,Hmm? Uh, sure.

00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:56,You okay?

00:09:57,097...
