Then, seriously you should sleep. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.160 What research is he on now? He had me find 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.360 translations of ancient Greek texts on medical ethics yesterday. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.520 I know it's bad. 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.280 Is he any closer to deciding which way he's voting? 0:00:58.320 --> 0:00:58.680 At least? 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.120 Don't so? The spotlight's paralyzing him. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.280 Blackman shouldn't even be writing this opinion? 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.240 Yeah, no, kidding. You don't think he knows that with. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.360 The screwed up way that Chief assigned it, half the 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.959 country is going to lose their minds whichever way he 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:12.480 comes down. 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.559 Oh, you know the only thing that'll piss the country 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.760 off more? What if there's no decision at all. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.959 Dottie, I'm trying to get some sleep. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.760 I can see that. Ary, then let me be that 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:32.240 I can't do my love. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.200 Why do you insist on torturing. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:37.319 Me, Harry. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.199 We've been married for thirty years and I've never seen 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.039 you sleep past eight am. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.040 And it's eleven morning or night. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.040 Harry, I'm joking, Dottie, Honey, I'm worried. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:54.720 The girls are too, don't involve them. But there's nothing 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:55.440 to worry about. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.919 Dear Harry. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.320 What's left of your hair has gone totally. The bags 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.760 under your eyes look too big for carry on. You're 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.680 up in the middle of the night every night, when 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.519 you're even home, pacing like a vampire. And that for 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.720 the melodrama, Dottie, Oh yeah, and you're lashing out at 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:13.280 your loved ones. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.920 Come come here, sit down please. I'm just trying to 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:24.720 find some balanced sweetheart. I'm sorry, balance for what? How 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.160 in the hell did I find myself in the position 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.560 of being responsible for the rights of every woman's body 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.040 for the foreseeable future. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.520 How on earth did that happen? 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.120 Don't give me that, Harry. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:37.840 Don't give you what the woe is me. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.040 I'm just a poor boy from Dayton's Bluff and I 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.200 tripped and fell into being one of the most powerful 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.440 men in the nation. It won't work on me. You're 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:50.000 more ambitious than you like to admit, Harry Blackman, Dottie. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.400 If I'd grown up anywhere else and my childhood best 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.600 friend hadn't become Chief Justice, do you think there's any chance. 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.280 In the world le be where I am now? 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:02.120 Yes? 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.200 Really, yes, Harry. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.080 My best friend from childhood has been divorced three times 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.639 and owns a horse ranch in Los Angeles. We all 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.520 don't just naturally become our best friends. You're on the 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.000 Supreme Court because it's where you belong, not because of 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.400 who gave the toast at our wedding. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:20.920 What do I do? Dot? 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.799 You start by making a decision here? 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.880 No, No. Once I do that, the real trouble begins. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.720 The language and guidelines are maddening to work out. If 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.840 we strike down the law, do we make it legal 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.760 in just the first month? First two months the date 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:39.760 of viability? 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.360 Somehow? The choice is entirely up to me. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.800 Would you rather someone else be deciding? 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.120 Be honest? 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.880 Who else would you trust to put in as much 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.760 time and research and real deliberation into this as you? 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.560 Their good told me a story horror story in baker 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.480 Vy car Are a few years ago. The opinion was 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.880 assigned to Charles Whittaker. Justice Whittaker found making a decision 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.880 in the case so tormenting that he had a nervous breakdown. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.960 They had to hospitalize him in a mental asylum. He 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.479 couldn't even attend the final vote. He resigned from the 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.960 court right after the decision. The case literally drove him 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:27.320 to the madhouse, Dottie, And that was a case about redistricting. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.640 Harry, you would love a stay in a mental asylum, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.599 getting to sit in rocking chairs and read your books 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:33.040 all day. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.360 That'd be a vacation for you. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.479 It does sound pleasant, doesn't it. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.960 Forget it. I'm not Justice Whittaker's wife. I'm Justice Blackman's 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.960 Now get up and get dressed. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.440 and I'll warm up your breakfast. And remember, Warren could 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.719 have assigned this decision to anyone. He chose you. You're the 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.920 one he knows can win people to your side. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:10.800 I wonder if that's the real reason, Harry. They're good 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.279 like the tennis shoes. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.600 Oh yes, I thought I'd go for a walk clear 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.120 my mind. One of my clerks suggested I keep a 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.360 pair in my chambers closet. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.560 Where's the draft, Harry? 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.280 It's coming their good, it's still in process, and what 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.400 exactly does that mean? 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.279 You'll have it soon now? 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.080 If I want to get to the Lincoln Memorial and 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.800 back before conference, I need to. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.479 I've only been on the bench a handful of years, Harry, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.320 but I've argued thirty two cases here as a lawyer. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:38.479 I'm well aware. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.720 Good, then maybe you'll give credence to what I'm telling you. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.719 This isn't like handing in your homework late in school, Harry. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.400 I know that because women are dying while you're dragging 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:47.880 your feet. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:48.960 You understand me. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.520 You're out of line, the good. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.960 Working inside the lines. It's never been my strong suit, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.760 and you need a kick in the ass. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.599 I'll have a draft soon. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.000 You never should have been assigned the decision in the 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.839 first place, Harry. That's not a knock on you. It's 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.400 just a fact. Don't exacerbate it. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.840 I thought we'd have the soup you like tonight. Ron, 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.279 the store finally got those croutons, all right? How's the 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.159 table coming together? 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:27.120 All right? 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.120 Stimulating as always? 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:30.839 Ron, who's that well? 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.080 Don't sound so startled, Probably just want to wanting to 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:33.719 borrow a vase. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.280 Just be careful, Sarah. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.960 It could be one of those crazies. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.480 Hi is Sarah? 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.480 Get over here. Ron, it's definitely one of the crazies. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.920 What sorry, inside joke, George, what are you doing here? 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.680 Get in this house? Look who's here? 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:52.960 Rong? 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.640 You didn't tell me George was coming by. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:55.520 I didn't know. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.120 Hey George, great to see you doing a little construction. Ron. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.640 Oh, just making a table. Wait to occupy myself. I 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.240 hope I'm not disturbing. I called, but couldn't get through. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.320 That's my fault. I was on with Mama for an 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.440 hour this morning. I don't think I've seen you since 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.360 Ron's campaign a couple of years ago. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.680 George, literally not since the concession speech. I still blame 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:17.520 myself for that one. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:17.840 Ron. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.040 You should be state reping able right now. Lord knows 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.760 you'd be heading shoulders better than the boy that got 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:23.120 in there. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.760 You can say that again. But it's not your fault, George. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.960 You did a hell of a job as a campaign manager. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.800 I've been following your career pretty closely, Sarah. Congratulations on 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:32.239 your case. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.160 Oh stop, I haven't won anything yet. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.160 That's not true. You won in Dallas. Say when is 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.320 the Supreme Court announcing his. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.920 Decision, supposed to be a month ago. At this point, 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.080 your guess is as good as mine. I call over 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.040 there all the time, but they won't tell me what 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.640 the hold up is. No one seems to know. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.840 Hey, Sarah Hunt, you want to fix George and me 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.040 some snacks and coffee?

Well, i'll be I'll take some 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.160 of that coffee, Sarah. Let's go out back on the 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.199 porch chat about it. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:07.800 You don't mind, do you run? 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.200 No? No, I guess all right. 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:16.760 Let's talk. Oh, Ron, do you mind stopping that kettle 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.480 from whistling? Thanks? 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.520 Dear, sure thing, Sarah, sure thing. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.920 What have you got for us there, Charlie. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.640 It's Justice Blackman's first draft. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.839 Sir, first draft of What Warre in Peace? It's five 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:42.600 hundred pages. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.400 He knows it's on alongside your runner. This has gotta 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:45.880 be a joke. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.800 No, I don't believe it is. Bill Blackman is paralyzed 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.920 forty pages of discourse on the history of abortion, a 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.040 five hundred page decision, and I can't find the decision. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:12.200 And I believe that may be the point. Charlie, come 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.920 on in here, you drop the copies off. 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.120 Just it, sir, all the justices now have it? 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:21.320 Excellent? Excellent? Any initial responses? Come on, let's have it. 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.080 Justice Blackman candidly, I don't think we're going to get 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.679 the responses that you're hoping for. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.800 And what exactly is their problem? 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.199 The other justices expect a decision on the constitutionality of abortion, Sir, 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.720 the crux of Missus Whittington's argument, Well. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:38.280 They'll get it. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.920 This draft is merely a jumping off point to begin 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:41.719 more discussion. 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.160 Sir. I think that might have been acceptable to them 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.280 a month or two ago. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.640 But at this point, what exactly are my colleagues saying, Sir? 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.000 I no longer think this is a legal issue. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.400 What on earth does that mean? 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.520 It's a political one. It's about us winning votes. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.880 You sound like a certain Chief Justice, Sir. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.120 Justice Marshall is threatening to go public with what he 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.160 sees as an unfair process. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:07.840 What on earth are you talking about? 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.640 Justice Douglas, is deemed that the Chief assigned the decision 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:11.960 to you, Marshall, Greece. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.160 An internal disagreement and the Supreme. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.600 Court has never been aired publicly before. No, sir, it's 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.880 a bluff maybe, But word around here is that Marshall 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.000 instructed his clerks to leak a memo to the Post 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.439 if your decision isn't brought about soon, damn it. If 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.320 I may, your honor, we need to take a stand. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.320 Whichever way you're going to come down on the issue. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:33.480 The important thing. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:38.760 Is to act, Charlie. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.920 Do you know what the first line of the decision 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:46.280 will be, Sir, the decision it will begin, Blackman. H 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:52.160 Delivering the opinion time is not the most important factor, Charlie. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.200 Getting it right is to the country at large. I 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.840 will appear responsible. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:58.640 Your honor. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:10.400 You look a little green, sir, Oh, just as Marshall. Hello, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.400 Justice Blackman is occupied at the moment, your. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.360 Honor, Yes, I can hear that, Charlie. Leave me with him, Yes, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:26.079 your honor, Harry, it's third. Good, come on out here. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.640 You all right, Harry, not particularly no, I gather you 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.160 don't think much of my draft. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.200 You know why, because I told you to write a decision, Harry, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.160 and what you wrote is a question. When I first 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.400 came to court, Justice black gave me a little advice. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.240 He told me to never display agony in public. Always 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.000 present as if the answer is obvious and clear. The 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.280 public should know that decisions which affect their lives could 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.560 often just as easily come down the other way. It's 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.439 not as if I don't understand your predicament, Harry. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.200 No offense. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.320 They're good, but unless you're sitting where I am, let 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.520 me take a shot. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.360 Nixon specifically chose you for the seat because you were 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.960 supposed to be uncontroversial after his first two nominees were rejected. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.439 And now your pal the Chief has ensured that whichever 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.080 way we come down on this issue, you're going to 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.640 be one of the most controversial men in the country, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.520 maybe in the country's whole history. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.120 That about it and about sums it up. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.079 You know, here's the thing, Harry, half asking the decision 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:36.040 is not the way out. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.200 Half asking. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.040 This must be one of the most well researched, well 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.880 thought out drafts written here since Wendell Holmesy. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.240 No one's accusing you of not doing your homework, Harry. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.280 We know you're brilliant, we know you're working hard, but 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.240 your draft doesn't address the core issues. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:55.720 All due respect, they're good. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.960 The hell it doesn't all the social and religious approach, 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:01.480 every one of them. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.520 And the medical and legal approaches going back to ancient times. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.600 We don't need a history lesson, Harry, We need a conclusion. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.800 Your draft doesn't take a stand, but how could it 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.680 when all due respect. You're a tough, comfy away in 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:17.560 the chief's pocket. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.320 Are you trying to get a rise out of me? 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:20.800 Hell? 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.680 Yes, I'm trying to get you to stand for something. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.480 Man, Now go to it. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.160 What are you doing out here? 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.160 It's four in the morning. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.240 There rerun in the late show Mary's on. Remember that 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.240 one Ernest borgnine, Betsy Blair. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.600 You become a worse and sony act than me. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:50.520 Have some t careful it's hot, he slept it all. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.800 How the hell can I sleep wrong? No one will 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.720 tell me anything. The decision was supposed to come down 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.840 months ago. It keeps getting delayed and delayed, and I 0:14:58.920 --> 0:14:59.800 have no idea why. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.240 It means you gave them a lot to chew on run. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.520 When I asked you how I did, never mind? 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.200 No what. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.600 When I asked you afterwards how I did in court? 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.600 You said you would have given me a B plus. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:15.720 And I would have. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.080 A B plus is an excellent mark in law school. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:19.760 You know that? 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.480 Okay, Okay, I just I feel like I can't move 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.320 on with my life until we have a decision. I 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:28.440 gotta see it settled. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.560 You give any more thought to running the campaign? 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.000 I don't know. I don't think I'm cut out for politics. Run. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:42.160 It's not my nature, of course, it is. Everybody loves you, Sarah. Besides, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.920 you're a famous attorney. Now take advantage. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.760 Would you like a wife who's a state rev. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.760 Honestly, probably easier for me than you being a lawyer. 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.720 Every firm I interview with just wants to hear about you, 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:54.800 like they. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.880 Don't even know how big a role I played in Row. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.240 I really am sorry about that. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:15:59.640 Run. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:01.960 I know you probably don't believe me, but. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.320 I am oh sorry for what all of it for. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.480 You not getting the credit you deserve, For the time 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.400 and energy I had to put into taking care of 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.160 the case instead of taking care of you, the money 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.760 problems it caused us, the death threats, losing our friends. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.640 You are a truly good man for putting up with 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:19.040 it all. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.440 Wrong, Sarah. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.880 I got a call last week from Sissy Farenthold. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.600 Cissy what she wants. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.960 She wants me to come work on her campaign. She 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.000 has a real shot at the governor's chap after the 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.080 scandal in Sharpstown. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:34.720 You're right, she does. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.520 It's a paid position. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.880 Sarah, sounds too good to pass up. 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.040 We agreed to stay married as long as we were 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.240 both happy, Sarah. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.320 That's true. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:17:11.520 We did come to bed soon, okay, Harry, Yeah, I'm awake. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.800 You slept through dinner again. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.679 I know I'm drowning, Doddie. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.879 I know it feels that way. I promise you you're not. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.080 There's someone here to see you. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:26.800 Are you feeling all right, Daddy? 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.840 Sally? What are you doing here? 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.840 She came to talk to you, Harry. I'll leave you to. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:36.439 Her. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.320 Guy who's been in bed as much as you lately. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.240 You don't look very well rested, Daddy. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.320 Forget about me? How you doing? How's school? 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.000 Professor Lowe talked about you in class last week? 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.399 Do I even want to know? 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:49.600 It wasn't mean. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.760 He was curious why the decision on Roe Wade hasn't 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:53.440 come down yet. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.280 That seems to be the question. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.159 We never talked about it, you know about what? 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.000 Of course we did. We did nothing but talk for 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:10.280 quite some time. What you would have broken the law? 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:10.760 Sally? 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:16.000 Doctor was trustworthy, not some butcher. You could have arranged 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.439 that with your contacts, couldn't you? 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:17.960 Sally? 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.760 I was nineteen, Daddy, I was a sophomore. It was 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.240 terrifying that I got pregnant. You think I wanted to 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:27.960 drop out of school and marry Rick. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.160 But you're back in school now. It all turned out 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:32.280 alright in the end. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.720 Only because I had a miscarriage three weeks after the wedding. 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.080 If I hadn't, Rick and I probably would still be 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:46.240 married and miserable. I wanted an abortion, of course. 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:46.760 I didn't, Sally. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.800 Am I supposed to pretend to otherwise? 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.440 Why didn't you say anything? 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.399 Why didn't I tell my father, the federal judge at 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:54.920 the time, that I wanted an abortion? 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:56.040 Fair point. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.479 I came to you and Mom, I told you we 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.320 were in trouble. When you didn't come back to me 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.160 with the name of a doctor, I thought. I thought 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.280 that was your way of saying it wasn't an option. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:08.440 The effect of inaction? 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.560 What nothing? Just something. I seem to be accused of 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:18.960 a lot lately. You'll have another husband, Sally, and children. 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.160 Stop just stop. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:28.520 I don't know what to say. I'm sorry, Sally. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:35.879 I believe you, and I believe in you. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:36.800 You need to get some rest. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.119 Mom's really worried about you. 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.840 I guess I just wanted to tell you that you're 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:43.520 going to do great. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.480 And what if I can't decide? What if I'm paralyzed. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.040 When I was procrastinating on some school assignment once you 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.879 told me that writer's block was a failure of ego. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.520 It's not that we can't write, it's that we don't 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.480 think what we have to say will be particularly interesting 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:09.040 to anyone. You have a mother, three daughters, and an 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:15.760 amazing wife Daddy. Considering the other candidates, I think the 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.440
