-
(Scene takes place in Callahan’s office, where the team are drinking champagne after winning Round 1 of the
Brooke Wyndham murder trial)
- To Emmett and to Elle.
- For decisively turning the case around
- and for nailing the pool boy.
-
Warner: Since when did finely-tuned gaydar qualify as a legal victory?
- But without that gaydar we wouldn’t be celebrating with champagne,
- we’d be dead in the water.
- Elle Woods trusts her gut and has shown more legal smarts than most on my staff.
- She won this round, making her a good lawyer.
- And while
we’d still love to hear that alibi she got, - by keeping it, she’s
never compromised the client’s trust, making her a great one. - (turns to Warner)
- Which is more than I can say about you, Warner.
- Be useful.
- Go get me a coffee.
-
Warner: But we’re drinking champagne…?
Splenda and skim.
- Everyone else, please go home
- and get a good night’s sleep.
- I
need you all sharp tomorrow morning.
-
(Everyone goes, Elle is the last one out)
- Ms Woods,
- can I have a word?
-
Elle: Of course
(to Emmett as he exits) I’ll catch up with you in a second
(back to Callahan) And thank you, Professor Callahan, for what
you said before. It meant a lot.
- You deserved it.
- But don’t tell the other law students
- I said
so. - I have a scary reputation to uphold.
-
Elle: Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me
(Callaghan laughs)
But I really appreciate this opportunity to work with you.
I’ve
learned so much…
- What you’ve learned isn’t the point. You’ve got instincts.
- And
instincts, legal or otherwise, - can’t be taught.
- Trust your
instincts.
-
(He kisses her. Elle slaps Callahan)
I thought you were smarter than that
-
Elle: Is that the only reason you gave me an internship?
- It’s been nice working with you,
- Ms Woods.
- You can show
yourself out.
