00:01It's a what?
00:02A face bra.
00:04Next to aging and sun exposure,
00:06jogging is one of the leading causes of wrinkles.
00:08The up and down motion breaks down the skin's elasticity.
00:11This holds the face in place.
00:13Elaine, you look like Hannibal Lecter.
00:15I may look silly, but this thing is a gold mine.
00:18Allie, we could get a patent and do an infomercial.
00:21I'm telling you, this is my best invention yet.
00:25Even if we do get rich off of this,
00:27don't you think it would be embarrassing to tell people how we made our money?
00:30There's no embarrassing way to make money.
00:32What's with the jockstrap? Somebody lay a trap?
00:35It's a face bra. I invented it. I plan to get a patent.
00:38Run. Don't walk. I need to talk to you in private, Allie.
00:44You remember Professor Dawson?
00:46Why? What are you saying?
00:48Uh, evidence. You know, creme pro, you know.
00:51Oh. Oh. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, of course I remember him. Why?
00:56He died Monday.
01:00What?
01:01A heart attack. Jogging. He just dropped.
01:03Ironic, really. He decides to take up running.
01:05He just hits the ground dead.
01:08He... died?
01:11I know. You two were pretty tight.
01:13Why do you say that?
01:15Well, you researched a lot of his publishings,
01:17and I assume you got along with the guy.
01:19Oh. Oh, yeah.
01:21Anyway, he was certainly fond of you. Evidently, you were his favorite student.
01:24Me?
01:27Yeah.
01:28Really?
01:29That's what his wife says.
01:31His wife? His wife said that?
01:34Yeah. She asked if you'd be willing to be a pallbearer.
01:39Allie?
01:43Allie?
01:44Huh?
01:45You seem pretty important to her. Can I tell her yes?
01:48Um...
01:53Okay.
01:55Oh, great.
01:56I'm great.
02:00I've been down this road.
02:03Walking the light that's painted my pride.
02:07I have made mistakes in my life that I just can't hide.
02:10And I have made mistakes in my life that I just can't hide
02:16I believe I'm ready, but love has to break
02:23I got myself together, now I'm ready to sing
02:33I've been searching myself tonight, I know there's so much more to life
02:39Now I know I can shine the light to find my way back home
02:46Baby, yeah, oh yeah
02:54So I thought we could drive up to Maine, the foliage is supposed to be peaking
03:04And this buddy of mine has this great place in Camden
03:07I bet that sounds great, good
03:09It's a crystal ball
03:11It's beautiful
03:14I figured you'd like it
03:16Allie, you okay?
03:18What?
03:19Um, well, she has to bury a dead mentor
03:23It's hard enough to grieve without having the added pressure of lifting the coffin
03:27Could you guys both excuse me for a minute?
03:30I have to go check on something and I'll be right back
03:36Maine sounds nice
03:39I like pretty leaves
03:41Bye
03:45Are you into venture capital?
03:56What's up?
03:57Not Professor Dawson, he's dead
03:59Oh, I heard, yeah
04:01I didn't really know him too well
04:03I did
04:05I'm sorry, Allie
04:10His wife wants me to be a pallbearer
04:13Well, I guess you were close
04:15I slept with him
04:17What was that again?
04:20I had an affair with him third year of law school
04:23Um
04:25You had an affair with Professor Dawson
04:30Uh, didn't you know he was
04:34Married?
04:35Allie
04:36You obviously knew this
04:38Well, I
04:39I
04:40You said the marriage was over
04:42Of course I knew he was married
04:43I
04:43I just didn't want to face it
04:45I
04:45I couldn't
04:46I didn't
04:46I couldn't think of myself as a home wrecker
04:48And I
04:49And I couldn't bear to think of him being in the same bed as
04:51So then what?
04:52I broke it off immediately
04:54About five months later
04:56Allie
04:57Did he have kids?
05:00Of course not
05:00He
05:01Only two
05:01Little
05:02Ones
05:03It wasn't that bad what I did
05:06I mean, I was in a monogamous relationship
05:07I wasn't betraying anybody
05:09You're just letting me talk
05:12Because you know hearing my words is punishment enough
05:14I know what you're doing
05:15Oh, God
05:18How am I going to be a pallbearer?
05:19They want me to carry his body
05:21Which
05:21Which brings up my whole
05:22You know, my death phobia
05:24And I'll have to deal with that too
05:25I
05:25I gotta carry something dead
05:27In a box
05:28It's like on the same day
05:29I gotta deal with the two sure things in life
05:31Death and adultery
05:32Stop letting me talk
05:33You see when you jog
05:36The face goes up and down
05:37I
05:38I don't really invest in infomercials
05:40You think she's okay?
05:42I'm sure she's fine
05:43In fact, she's always a little tickled by drama
05:45In time, she'll look back at this day
05:47And want to relive it
05:48Age of Fish
05:49Hey
05:49Hi
05:50Elaine?
05:51Oh, it's not a good time, Georgia
05:53Allie is in there having an upset
05:55What now?
05:56A dead professor
05:57Excuse me, I'm looking for Allie McBeal
06:01I see, and you would be?
06:04The dead professor's wife
06:06Oh
06:07Forgive my bluntness
06:10It's a device that I used to cope
06:11Let me go get her for you
06:13And I am very sorry for your loss
06:17Thank you
06:18Door's closed
06:24They have knobs
06:25Really, I have Georgia waiting for you
06:28And Allie
06:29Professor Dawson's wife is here
06:32What?
06:35Well, she'd like to meet with you
06:36Um
06:37Um
06:38Uh
06:39Well, does she know I'm here?
06:41Yes
06:42I told her I would get you
06:43Uh
06:45Uh
06:45Uh, okay
06:47Tell her I'll be right there
06:49Absolutely
06:51Oh, God
06:57What do I do?
06:58She doesn't know about
06:59No
07:00No, I don't think so
07:01I mean
07:01I mean, she knew that he had an affair
07:03Because, you know
07:04They split up for a while
07:05But she didn't know that it was with me
07:06Or
07:07Or maybe she does
07:08Maybe that's why she's here
07:09Maybe she has a weapon
07:10Allie, she asked you to be a pallbearer
07:12Obviously she couldn't think
07:13There was something going on
07:14Between you and her husband
07:15Unless she's after some sort of sick revenge
07:17Making me carry him in some pine box
07:19Oh, God, she knows
07:20Allie
07:23Go
07:24See her
07:25Easy for you to say
07:26You didn't do it with her husband
07:27Allie, hi
07:39She's in your office
07:42So, about the weekend
07:43I'll just call
07:45Or
07:57Mrs. Dawson
08:04Hi
08:06I'm so sorry
08:09About your loss
08:10Thank you
08:11Thank you for taking the time to see me
08:14Don't be silly
08:15I know you and my husband were close
08:19He spoke of you so often
08:21Oh, well
08:23He
08:23He was a
08:24Wonderful
08:25Professor
08:28Yeah
08:30And I
08:32I know he was close
08:33With many of his students
08:34But
08:34The way he spoke about you
08:37Oh, my God
08:38Do you mind if I ask you a question?
08:42Sure
08:42And I want you to just give me
08:44An honest answer
08:44Oh
08:45Okay
08:46Would you mind speaking at the funeral?
08:51Excuse me?
08:52It
08:52Wouldn't seem right
08:54Not to hear from a former student
08:55And you seem like the natural choice
08:57Oh
08:58Oh, um
09:01I
09:01Well, see
09:02My voice doesn't carry great
09:04In large rooms
09:06And I
09:06I
09:06My throat
09:07I've been feeling a polyp
09:08It would be important to him
09:10And to me
09:12Oh
09:15Okay
09:16Sure
09:18Thank you
09:19The wake is tonight
09:22And the funeral service is tomorrow
09:24Okay
09:25Thank you
09:27Sure
09:42This is Daddy's friend, Allie
09:52Hi, Kara
09:53She works with Daddy
09:54And she's gonna go to the zoo with us today
09:56Okay, sweetheart?
10:04Allie
10:05You scared me
10:06What happened?
10:08She doesn't know
10:09Well, that's good
10:10Yeah
10:10Yeah, that's good
10:11Except that the bad part is
10:12Is that she
10:13Asked me to speak at the funeral
10:14What?
10:15Yeah, yeah
10:16As his favorite student
10:17And
10:17And I said yes
10:18You're gonna get up there in church
10:20And eulogize a man?
10:21Elaine
10:21I pulled some bio stuff
10:23On Professor Dawson
10:24I thought for the eulogy
10:25It might help to be intimate
10:26Thank you, Elaine
10:29And you have Ronald Chaney
10:31On line three
10:32Tell him I'll call him back
10:33His voice is beginning to take on
10:35A perturbed quality
10:36Elaine
10:36Tell him I'll call him back
10:37And could you excuse us, please?
10:39Certainly
10:40So, um, well, I guess if I can be an adulteress
10:49It shouldn't be a stretch for me to get up and
10:50Ali, you were close to him as a student
10:52Just talk about that
10:53I don't know if I should work for you anymore
10:56Why?
10:58Well, well, lately it
11:00Doesn't seem
11:02It doesn't always
11:04Feel
11:05Like work
11:06Billy, I have to think hard
11:08To even remember him as a professor
11:10You never mentioned him before
11:13Well, yeah, yeah
11:14Because I, I, I, I
11:16I couldn't even admit it to myself
11:17I haven't even told Renee yet
11:18I haven't told anybody
11:19And, oh, God
11:20Oh, God, please
11:21You, you, you cannot tell a soul
11:23I won't
11:24Okay
11:24Okay
11:25Um
11:28I, I, I wouldn't even have told you
11:31Except I, I really
11:32Needed somebody to
11:33Oh, God
11:35Oh, God, how am I gonna do this?
11:37I, I, I mean, the guy
11:38The guy is gonna be lying there in a casket
11:40You just breathe deep
11:42You try not to talk too fast
11:43And you'll get through it
11:44Okay
11:45Hey, uh
11:46You want me to come to this thing?
11:49Would you?
11:50I had him for con law
11:51I guess I could pay my respects
11:54Oh
11:54All set for the big wake?
11:59Uh, Allie
12:00Hi
12:00Tonight
12:03Uh, try not to look at it
12:05As a negative
12:06Don't look at it as a negative
12:08A lot of his former students
12:09They'll be there
12:10This'll be like a class reunion
12:11Instead of a punch bowl
12:12There's a coffin
12:13But remember
12:13Reunions are meant to allow
12:15The more successful graduates
12:16To inform the less successful
12:17That that's what they are
12:18Less than
12:19You and I
12:19We're more than
12:20Uh, especially me
12:21I mean, I've got my own firm
12:23I could possibly be the most
12:25My point is
12:26Life is all about attitude
12:28And tonight is a night
12:29For you to feel good about yourself
12:31Yeah
12:32That whole speech was a fishism
12:35No doubt
12:36Hug to get started
12:43Do you
12:58Do you know how long
13:01I've thought about doing that?
13:04Allie?
13:06Allie
13:07Do you want
13:09Do you want me to go with you?
13:11No
13:11No
13:12No, no, no
13:13I
13:13Billy and Richard are gonna be there
13:15And I'll be fine
13:16I don't need
13:17Me?
13:20I know the
13:21Backstory, Allie
13:22You do?
13:23Who told?
13:24You did
13:24You said you and Billy
13:26Basically grew up together?
13:27Oh
13:28Oh, that
13:28That backstory
13:29Well, yeah
13:30Billy had him as a professor
13:33And I think that he could
13:35I don't know
13:36Commiserate
13:36And even though
13:38You're no longer a couple
13:39When you feel like
13:40You're about to hit bottom
13:41He's still
13:42The best cushion in town?
13:45Something like that
13:46I'm sorry
13:49Oh, that's okay
13:51It's
13:51But if
13:54If you and I are gonna
13:56You know
13:56Progress
13:59You're gonna have to
14:01Let me in
14:02I know
14:05I think wigs are so ghoulish
14:19Well, tell me about it
14:20Oh, God
14:21It's an open casket
14:23Oh, can you imagine?
14:24It's a party for everybody to come
14:25And look at you dead
14:26And Balmer does your makeup
14:28You okay?
14:31Fine
14:31Breathe through your nose
14:33Don't talk too fast
14:34Okay, okay
14:35I simply love the man
14:38The word is so overused these days
14:39But
14:40Thank you for coming, Richard
14:41If not for him
14:43I would not be where I am right now
14:44Be in a lounge

19:09my husband left me briefly for another woman a few years ago
19:14i always thought it was a member of the faculty but it was you
19:20what um what makes you think that
19:26my daughter remembers going to the zoo with you and her father
19:30james wasn't a womanizer it wouldn't be like him to stray

19:38well as as accusations go at least that's a flattering
19:42one
19:43where the hell is elaine when i need her
19:45you would be the kind of woman that he would fall in love with
19:49the way he used to speak about you

19:55it was right there in front of me
19:58we went on a couple of dates
20:03it was a a little you know thing

20:29what's up
20:30the dead professor's wife is in there with ali
20:32and whatever they're talking about
20:33it's not whether the mortician overdid it with the putty

20:40hoping
20:41that i would meet you for a long time
20:44oh

20:47because i i never knew what happened
20:49for me it was like this
20:51this big black hole and
20:53all of a sudden
20:55he wasn't there
20:57it's a tragedy that i met you

22:34because i think that that would lessen the betrayal for her but
22:37but
22:39but i think that she's looking to cling on to the idea that he was a really good man
22:46which he was
22:48and and and sex i mean a cheap affair that that cheapens him
22:52and
22:53i mean i'm not sure that she wouldn't rather hear that we were just in love
22:58because as painful as it is
23:00it it doesn't destroy her idea of who she thought he was
23:04does this make any sense
23:10what's the truth
23:12the truth
23:15the truth is he thinks the biggest tragedy of his life is not spending it with me
23:22you can't tell her that ali
23:28you cannot tell her that
23:30and what it does is holds the skin in place next to aging and sun exposure jogging
23:49isn't this fabulous
23:50you know medical studies do show that jogging causes wrinkles and and and and
23:55imagine people run to preserve their youth and it makes them look old
23:58terrible and and and and if you treat this mask with a moisturizer it could even be better
24:05i never thought of that
24:07maybe retin-a
24:08will you excuse us for a minute
24:11certainly
24:12retin-a
24:15i wonder if you can time release that
24:17so
24:21um
24:22where did we leave off
24:26you were going to give me a clue as to why my husband betrayed me
24:32yes

24:39you know

24:55being sophomoric one last time

25:38i'm sorry

33:40i gave me a jump
33:41allie
33:43one of the keys to life
33:45the fast forward
33:46every movie has its lousy parts the trick is fast forward through them
33:50see as time passes you look back and say
33:52oh that little adultery thing oh that
33:54you fast forward to then right now
33:56and you're over it
33:57fast forward
33:59it's the fish way
34:01that's your best one yet richard
34:04well
34:06glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy ghost
34:18as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be
34:25world without end
34:29we tend to judge people by the last chapter
34:50like the defining part of a man's life
34:54is where had he come to by the end
34:58and it would be easy to do that here wouldn't it
35:01james dawson was a successful professor
35:05a wonderfully loving father and husband
35:10but don't do that
35:12think of james yesterday as well as today
35:17think of what he might have been doing say
35:21four years ago
35:23there's a whole life there
35:26he didn't just love his family
35:29he loved others
35:32it was once said to me
35:36one true measure of a person
35:38is how much pain he or she causes others
35:42because it occurs to me
35:44that one can cause pain
35:47enormous pain
35:48simply by leaving
35:51we hurt
35:53because he's gone
35:55before we continue on to our next hymn
35:59we shall hear from one of james's former students
36:03miss ali macbiel
36:04miss macbiel
36:09what do i do
36:11go
36:11how can i go
36:12go
36:13miss macbiel
36:15miss macbiel
36:16oh i'm terribly sorry
36:27miss macbiel has been cancelled
36:30they said she was suddenly unavailable
36:33oh
36:35it appears she is available
36:37we'd be delighted
36:41plug the firm
36:43well
36:50the
36:54the
37:00the
37:04the
37:05the
37:06the
37:06the
37:08the
37:08the
37:10Well, the, um, um, thing about funerals, the guest of honor is always dead.
37:26And, um, uh, we, we hear people talk about the deceased and, and, and then we hear all these
37:34things that, that we never knew. And, and we think, oh, I wish I had known that, or I wish I had known
37:40him better. And then we start to think, well, maybe that person up there is just saying nice
37:44things. Cause of course you, you have to, you can't, can't be at a funeral and say something not
37:49nice. You have to say something good. No matter, you know, there's that story about the terrible,
37:55awful man who died and nobody could think of anything nice to say about him until finally
37:59somebody got up and said his brother was worse. Um, that, um, that, that story doesn't apply
38:10here, does it? And, well, my point is, is, is lost this. You hear all the things that we've
38:26heard about James Dawson and, um, they're all true. Sometimes you think you know a person
38:37and then you're not sure, but with, with James, you, you really did know him. And he, he is
38:47everything that the canned funeral book words say he is. Sorry. And, um, he, he was all the
38:56professor and the good soul and the charitable, and he, he was everything that we're hearing,
39:02but mostly, um, mostly he was a man hugely devoted to his family, his, his daughters, his wife.
39:18And, um, I think in the end, that's how he would have liked it to be said.
39:23He, uh, he, uh, he, he loved his wife and kids more than life itself. And, and that's, that's
39:34something. A, a good father and a good husband, a good man. And, and we, we don't get to say that
39:42very often about people these days, do we? And, and, uh, you thought you really knew him.
39:49And, and, and you did.
40:06I'll, I'll, I'll meet you in the car. Allie. Thank you for your kind words.
40:15Oh, well, he meant a lot to me. I mean, I know.
40:35Hey, good speech. Yeah, right. Well, what are you doing here? It's almost midnight.
40:41Just checking on you. Oh. Oh, well, um, I, I'm fine.
40:50How, how'd you know I was here? Well, you usually work through things with work.
40:55And I didn't figure you to be with Chaney. I'm sorry about that.
40:58Oh, hey, for the best. Really?
41:01Oh, yeah. There were so many ways he just wasn't you. Right.
41:07Wasn't right.
41:08Right.
41:11Anyway, um, thanks for checking on me.
41:19Sure.
41:26Hey, you remember when you thought you flunked property and the stereo was broken and we just
41:32pretended to hear music because you said you needed to dance?
41:35Yeah. Well, what was that? That was, um, um, oh, a Johnny Mathis song. The one about the pyramids.
41:42Yeah. I think you could use one dance.
41:46Oh, yeah, right.
41:47Always made you smile.
41:48No, my, my smiling license has been suspended.
41:51One dance goes no further. Remember the song?
41:55No.
41:56Yeah, it did too.
41:58Um, see the pyramids along the sand.
42:06Wall.
42:07Wall of sand.
42:08Wall.
42:08No, Billy, it was sand.
42:09It was wall.
42:10See the pyramids along the line.
42:20Watch the sunrise.
42:22Just remember, darling, all the while, you belong to me.
42:38Oh, yeah, it did too.
43:08You stinker!
