A CLUB?

YEAH, MY SISTER--

MY KID SISTER,

SHE'S A SINGER, RIGHT,

AND SHE'S PLAYING

AT A CLUB DOWNTOWN TONIGHT,

SO WE GO,

WE LISTEN TO MUSIC,

WE TALK, BUT NO SHOP TALK.

YEAH,

IT COULD JUST BE LIFE TALK.

LIFE TALK!

YEAH, YOU IN?

I'M TOTALLY IN.

[JOANNA]:

THAT SOUNDS GREAT...

BUT I'M NOT GOING.

YOU'RE NOT GOING.

YOU'LL BE MISSED...

YOU'RE NOT GOING.

WINNIE, YOUR INSTINCTS

WITH JURY SELECTION

ARE SPOT ON.

HOW DO YOU READ:

PEOPLE SO WELL?

IT'S A BLESSING AND A CURSE.

IT MAKES DATING HER

A CHALLENGE.

I ALWAYS KNOW:

WHAT HE'S THINKING.

ACTUALLY,

IT SAVES TIME.

WATCH.

TONIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO...

GO TO A MOVIE?

SURE, BUT I PICK.

SEE?

WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU,

CHESTER.

WOULD THIS BE:

A GOOD TIME:

FOR US:

TO HAVE THAT TALK?

UH, SURE, CHESTER.

WHAT TALK?

THAT TALK YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING

FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

AS YOU ARE:

NO DOUBT AWARE,

THIS FIRM:

IS IN A STATE OF CRISIS.

WE JUST WON A CASE.

EXACTLY.

WE'RE COASTING

ON PAST GLORIES.

WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE

THAT IT'S A WHOLE

NEW WORLD OUT THERE.

THE STATUS QUO:

IS THE STATUS NO.

[RAYMOND]:
LET ME GUESS...

YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOME OF THOSE

BUSINESS SEMINARS.

I HAVE.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

AND I LEARNED:

THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED...

IS BY FAILING.

[JOANNA]:
I THOUGH THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED

WAS BY SUCCEEDING.

THAT'S OLD THOUGHT.

YOU HAVE TO COME

INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

DON'T START WITH THAT.

- PLEASE, CHESTER...

- [SCOTT]:
STOP HIM, PLEASE,

BEFORE HE MAKES US DO

TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISES.

SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY

THE TYPE OF THINKING

THAT'S KEEPING US

IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

BUT THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY.

AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY

UNLESS YOU START TO SAY YES.

OKAY, I'M GOING

TO THINK ABOUT THAT, CHESTER.

YOU KNOW WHAT, CLAIRE,

YOU'RE REALLY--

YOU'RE KIND OF ENCOURAGING HIM,

AND I...

I DON'T HAVE THE HEAR TO TELL HIM NO.

WELL...

THAT'S VERY

POST-MILLENNIAL OF YOU.

[SNICKERING]

[STRUMMING GUITAR]
