Now when you choose a law career |
| [00:02.080] |
The moment you embark |
| [00:02.920] |
There is that joke you're bound hear |
| [00:04.810] |
A lawyer is a shark |
| [00:06.800] |
Ignore that, it's simplistic and it's dumb |
| [00:10.070] |
Only some of you will turn out sharks, just some |
| [00:12.420] |
The rest are chum |
| [00:18.890] |
Our topic is blood in the water |
| [00:24.170] |
Kids, it's time you faced |
| [00:27.740] |
Law school is a waste |
| [00:31.090] |
Oh yes, unless you acquire a taste for |
| [00:34.890] |
Blood in the water |
| [00:38.260] |
Dark and red and raw |
| [00:41.500] |
You're nothing until the thrill of the kill |
| [00:45.030] |
Becomes your only law |
| [00:48.720] |
(spoken) Mr. . . . Shultz , hypothetical question. |
| [00:51.650] |
Would you be willing to defend the following banker accused of fraud? |
| [00:55.390] |
(sung) A kind old grandma took her savings and she sent it |
| [00:57.530] |
Off to your client, all she saved since she was born |
| [01:02.010] |
Well he promised to invest it, but he spent it |
| [01:05.560] |
On prostitutes and heroine and porn |
| [01:08.230] |
STUDENT |
| [01:08.580] |
(spoken) No, I would not want to take that case! |
| [01:10.780] |
CALLAHAN |
| [01:10.980] |
Wrong! This one is a win unless you're lazy |
| [01:13.880] |
Grandma's broke; she'll have some hack from legal aid! |
| [01:17.600] |
Put her on the stand and call her old and crazy |
| [01:20.500] |
Your guy goes free and he can get you high and laid |
| [01:25.040] |
Look for the blood in the water |
| [01:30.260] |
Read your Thomas Hobbs |
| [01:33.600] |
Only spineless snobs |
| [01:36.590] |
Will quarrel with the morally dubious jobs |
| [01:39.980] |
Yes, blood in the water |
| [01:42.980] |
Your scruples are a flaw |
| [01:46.320] |
(spoken) Ms. . . . Hupes, hypothetical question. |
| [01:50.740] |
Would you be the right lawyer for the following client? |
| [01:53.130] |
(sung) Say they offer you a bundle for defending |
| [01:56.080] |
A famous hit man for the mafia elite |
| [01:59.640] |
Seems he missed his chosen prey |
| [02:01.390] |
Killed a nun and drove away |
| [02:03.100] |
Running over three cute puppies in the street |
| [02:05.980] |
STUDENT |
| [02:06.480] |
(spoken) What, you think I wouldn't defend him just because he's a typical man? |
| [02:09.520] |
CALLAHAN |
| [02:11.750] |
(spoken) Oh, you lesbians think you're so tough |
| [02:14.860] |
STUDENT |
| [02:15.410] |
(spoken) But-- |
| [02:16.400] |
CALLAHAN |
| [02:16.870] |
Oh dear, I fear my comment has offended |
| [02:20.120] |
Hard to argue, though, when you're too mad to speak |
| [02:23.160] |
Your employment will be very quickly ended |
| [02:26.560] |
When they see how your emotions make you weak |
| [02:30.130] |
So what's my point? I run a billion dollar law firm! |
| [02:33.470] |
And I hire four new interns every year |
| [02:36.720] |
From this class I will select four young sharks whom I respect |
| [02:40.340] |
And those four will have a guaranteed career |
| [02:43.330] |
Do you follow me? |
| [02:46.010] |
So I wanna see . . . What? |
| [02:48.550] |
STUDENTS |
| [02:48.950] |
Blood in the water |

CALLAHAN |
| [02:58.730] |
But just those four with the dorsal fin |
| [03:01.820] |
Yes, blood in the water |
| [03:05.110] |
So fight and scratch and claw |
| [03:09.370] |
(spoken) Yes, Miss, uh |

CALLAHAN |
| [03:12.520] |
(spoken) Someone's had their morning coffee. |
| [03:14.770] |
Would you summarize the case of State of Indiana v. Hurn in your reading? |
| [03:17.640] |
ELLE |
| [03:18.790] |
(spoken) Oh, I wanted to answer the puppy question? |
| [03:22.430] |
CALLAHAN |
| [03:22.630] |
(spoken) But I'm asking you about the assigned reading. |
| [03:24.820] |
ELLE |
| [03:25.070] |
(spoken) Okay, who assigns reading for the first day of class? |
| [03:28.490] |
CALLAHAN |
| [03:29.050] |
(spoken) You have guts, Ms. Woods. Ms. . . . Kenzington |
| [03:34.450] |
(sung) Let's say you teach a class at Harvard Law School |
| [03:37.460] |
A position that you're justly proud about |
| [03:40.860] |
But a girl on whom you call hasn't read the case at all |
| [03:43.840] |
Should you let it go or-- |
| [03:45.150] |
VIVIENNE |
| [03:45.340] |
(spoken) No! I'd throw her out! |
| [03:46.780] |
CALLAHAN |
| [03:49.320] |
All right, then. |
| [03:52.460] |
You have heard your classmate |
| [03:55.770] |
You have just been killed |
| [03:59.230] |
She cut your throat, so grab your coat |
| [04:02.720] |
Yes, you've got guts but |
| [04:04.870] |
ALL |
| [04:05.670] |
Now there's spilled your |
| [04:06.280] |
Blood in the water |
| [04:09.890] |
CALLAHAN |
| [04:10.400] |
So would you please withdraw |
| [04:13.230] |
And if you return |
| [04:14.740] |
Be ready to learn |
| [04:16.240] |
Or is it unfair? |
| [04:17.660] |
Oh, wait I don't care! |
| [04:19.200] |
That's just how I rule |
| [04:20.400] |
In life and in school |
| [04:22.110] |
With fear and shock and gall |
| [04:24.950] |
