Suing the Devil Page #2
on this one, please.
Luke, I just passed the bar.
I'm not about to sue Satan
as my first case.
Find another idiot.
Mel!
The judge actually set
a trial date for next week,
which stunned everyone
in the courtroom, including me.
After that, I got hit with
a million interview requests,
which of course
I reluctantly turned down.
Honey, I'm home!
Call him a nutcase, but
Luke O'Brien is suing the Devil.
The judge was about
to throw out the case
until another man entered in claiming
that he himself was, in fact, the Devil.
here at the Sydney courthouse.
You sure you want to
go through with this?
Yeah, of course.
The Devil's responsible for
the mess this whole world's in.
You said it yourself.
Yeah, but I didn't tell you
to go out there and sue him!
Why are you doing this, Luke?
Because the devil exists
and I have to expose him.
I have to expose him.
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
I'd like to thank you for coming here on such
short notice for such a monumental event.
Now, without further a due,
I'd like to introduce to you my client,
who prefers that
you call him "Prince".
Here you are,
your dream team.
The best trial lawyers
from around the world...
are here in Sydney
for this trial.
Great.
Well, here you are sir,
your dream team.
The best, the brightest, the smartest
trial lawyers from all over the world.
And the most expensive.
Mr. Ice, Oxford, IQ 214.
He helped defeat a bill that was
trying to find a cure for cancer.
I'm not quite sure about
the cancer thing, I mean...
when people are dying of cancer they
usually think more about God, no?
Well, don't get too paranoid
there, Prince, because...
God gets his fair share
of cursing too, huh?
They curse God!
Well, that's a very smart answer.
Okay, I like you!
Miss Black, Yale law.
The youngest and best
litigator in New York.
67 wins, 0 losses.
She helped defeat
the electric car in court.
Her clients, big oil.
What would you say if I gave you
100 million dollars
and asked in return
for your soul?
100 million for my soul?
What's the catch?
Thank you.
Good answer!
- I like this team.
- Pleasure to meet you, Prince.
Mr. Think Tank, Harvard law.
- Think Tank.
- How do you do, sir?
Helped defeat the
passenger bill of rights.
His clients are
all the major airlines.
Airlines?
Oh, I hate airlines.
Well, what I do love, though,
I love to see people in those
huge long lines, don't you?
Waiting for security,
taking their stupid shoes off.
I love to see that!
And they added baggage fees.
That was my initiative.
Really? I love greed.
- Welcome to the team.
- Thank you, sir.
Good.
Ah, Ms. Shy.
Sydney University.
Don't let the name fool you.
She is a shark in court.
I hear you're not happy
with your remuneration.
I only work for top dollar.
Well, as you should.
And what is top dollar to you?
10 million, cash out.
Oh...
You sure she's Ms. Shy?
Sith, please!
Don't you want to be involved
in taking down Satan?
Putting that way, no I don't.
No one else is
helping me out on this.
Besides, I mean, think of
all the publicity!
You'll be in every newspaper.
You'll have so many
clients from this,
you wont even know
where to begin.
Seriously, I really, really need
your help on this one, please.
Luke, what if that guy really is Satan,
have you thought about that?
Mr. Innocent. You're going
to love him. Columbia law.
Represents all the casinos
in Vegas.
Vegas!
Put it there, my friend.
That is my hometown.
All those gamblers, those idiots,
what nitwits they are.
I love it when the dealer
has 16 and turns over a 5!
All those idiot faces!
I love it!
They look so disappointed!
I helped defeat a stupid lawsuit against
the casinos for second hand smoke.
They claim that 1 hour in a casino
equals 3 months of passive smoking.
Oh yeah, and so what happened?
Just like my last poker game,
I won, of course!
So I'm going to crush Luke O'Brien.
That will give me so much joy.
You're doing this for the Lord.
Seriously. And you're going
to take a stand in your life!
- Thank you so much
- Yeah.
So, Mr. In-Yo-Face,
from Stanford Law.
Oh! Stanford Law.
Very good!
I know this sounds
very egotistical, sir, but...
I am the greatest, so
don't worry about a thing.
Good. Isn't that what
Muhammad Ali said?
- Professor Fields, NYU.
- Hi Prof!
It's a stupid lawsuit sir,
and we're going to win.
Alright. Stupid, win. That sounds
good to me. Thank you.
And last but not least,
Ms. Scarlett.
She represents
the tobacco industry.
Then no more need be said!
Quick question. Hands up
Alright.
Hands up those who like God.
Like, like, like?
No one.
Well, I think our nemesis
Luke O'Brien is in your shoes.
He doesn't like God either!
Only he doesn't know it yet.
Alright, now, as you all know, this trial
is being shown around the world.
I don't have to tell you,
my client never loses.
Ever.
So what do we know
about this Luke O'Brien?
You don't need to worry
about Luke O'Brien, he's done.
Well, let's not underestimate him.
We're not. That's why
you're closing him.
And so the first day
of the trial arrived.
The jury was selected by a random
computer process under some new law.
Now, it was a mad house.
Here we are outside the
International Court of Human Rights,
where Luke O'Brien
is about to arrive.
Look! Here he is!
Here he is!
Luke! Luke! Luke!
Serious question for you, Luke.
Are you a moron?
No.
- Luke, you can't be taking this case seriously.
- Well, of course I'm taking it seriously.
Do you honestly believe
that that's the devil?
The devil is alive
and he's well.
Luke, Luke, so why are you
suing the devil?
He ruined my life,
he ruined this world!
And he has to pay for it.
- Do you really think you have a chance?
- Yes.
Satan, Satan, do you have
anything to say?
I always have
something to say.
- Are you really Satan?
- Oh yes, how about a little dance with Satan?
Do you expect the public
to actually buy you're Satan?
Well do you expect the public
to buy that you are...
$12000 in debt
on your credit cards?
- How did you know that?
- Yeah, start paying them off.
If you're really Satan,
then prove it.
Okay, watch this.
All I'd like to say is:
The world is full of losers.
How many people are going
to sue me and blame me
because they can't
get their act together?
Okay? They're losers!
Mr. Luke O'Brien,
are you listening?
Satan, just want to say
that I'm a huge fan,
I adore you, I worship you!
- I love Kiss.
- What?
Kiss! Kiss!
I hate Kiss.
I'm a Tom Jones man.
It's being built as trial of the century,
being seen by audiences around the world.
