Something's come up,
and we need to talk.
202
Come on, Mom.
l want to go play !
203
And actually it's kind of important,
so maybe we could talk tonight ?
204
- Tonight ?
- Yes.
205
- Max's birthday party.
- Oh ! Yeah.
206
Sure. Of course.
We'll talk then. Great !
207
- Maximus ! l'm outta here.
- Bye, Dad.
208
Jerry, enjoy my wife.
209
- [ Chuckles1 Wickedly ]
- [ Engine Starts ]
210
Hmm.
211
Well, this is good.
212
This is really smart.
213
- Thank you.
- Only--
214
Well, it's not true.
Does that present a problem ?
215
Mrs. Cole,
the only problem here...
216
is that after you've provided years
of faithful service and loving support,
217
of raising his children--
they are his ?
218
Huh ? Oh. Yeah, yeah.
One for sure.
219
After all that, your husband
wants to deny you...
220
- a fair share of the assets based
on one act of indiscretion.
- Seven.
221
- Pardon me ?
- Seven single acts of indiscretion.
222
Seven acts of indiscretion,
223
only one of which he has
any evidence of...
224
and all of which he himself
is responsible for.
225
- He is ?
- Mrs. Cole.
226
You're the victim here.
The wife of a cold, distant workaholic.
227
Starved for affection, driven
into the arms of another man !
228
- Seven.
- Yeah, whatever !
229
You're not trying to deny him
what is rightfully his.
230
- All you're insisting on
is what is rightfully yours.
- Yeah.
231
And maybe a...
[ Puffs2 ] fraction more.
232
l think you're
bending over backwards3.
233
Yeah. l did offer to
give him joint4 custody5 of the kids.
234
He is, after all,
a wonderful father.
235
And how does he repay you ?
236
By dragging you through
a painful litigation process !
237
No, no, no, no !
This can't happen !
238
With all due respect, this isn't
about you and Mr. Cole anymore.
239
This is about all women.
240
Where would Tina Turner be
right now if she'd rolled over and said,
241
"Hit me again, lke,
and put some stank6 on it ?"
242
Rolling on the river,
that's where she'd be.
243
But she's beyond Thunderdome,
because she decided7 to send a message.
244
Wake up, sisters !
There's no-o-o-o-o-o...
245
such thing as a weaker sex !
246
[ Panting ]
You know what ?
247
You're right, Mr. Reede. l am
tired of getting kicked around !
248
Good for you !
249
Thank you.
l am so grateful...
250
to have an attorney
l can trust.
