Emerson complains that Kennedy is not being empathetic. You can get empathy down at the fuckin' juice bar. You are not here for empathy. You are here because somebody or other wishes to hoist you on your own petard. You wanna get stroked, get some musk oil and a friend.
Lawyers are sometimes profane in speech, but they can also live profane lives.
When lawyers tell stories about irreverent machinations of law, and their own lack of concern for justice, they become part of this profane world.

He is thirty-two years old, and he is one of the best car thieves on the Eastern Seaboard. Cadillac Ted is so good that he is able to support himself as a car thief.
