Assertion of Rights in a Tense Encounter
Jerry Fletcher
I am an American citizen! I have a right to be here!
Alice Sutton
Officers! Officers, please! I'm Alice Sutton. I'll take it from here.
Jerry
Hi, Alice.
[suddenly calm]
Alice
You need to start making appointments.
Jerry
Uh... can I make one now? Say, in a couple of minutes? I can wait if you're busy.
Alice
Come around.
Alice
I don't see the connection.
Jerry
You don't see the connection? Come on. Six major earthquakes in the last three-and-a-half years, and the space shuttle up in orbit for every single one of em. Don't you think that's a little strange?
Alice
Testing some top-secret seismic weapon?
Jerry
No, not testing. Using. Nukes are passé. We're talking weapon of the future.
Alice
Okay, but I still don't see what it has to do with the president.
Jerry
The president is in Europe at the moment, and tomorrow he'll be, uh, in Turkey. Right here, along this fault line. And they sent up a space shuttle yesterday.
Alice
Motive?
Jerry
Motive? How about fifty billion dollars, how's that for a motive? The president's cutting funding for NASA, the milk-cow of the aerospace industry. And that's a lot of milk.
Alice
Um, so... you're telling me that NASA is going to kill the president of the United States with an earthquake
Jerry
It's not the kind of thing a Secret Service agent can, like, just throw himself on top of, is it?
Alice
Now, I have to go. My boss is looking to yell at me.
Jerry
Oh. Do you want me to talk to him? You know, smooth things out for you?
Alice
No, Jerry. I want you to go home, or wherever it is that you go. And I want you to make an appointment next time. Please? You can't just keep bursting in here.
Jerry
That's... it's just what they'd be expecting me to do. If I make an appointment —
Alice
Jerry. I have a serious job here. I have a boss I must answer to. Do you understand that?
Jerry
I'm sorry. You're right.
Alice
Use your common sense.
Jerry
Okay. Okay, deal. So, are you gonna warn him?
Alice
Who?
Jerry
The president.
[exasperated sigh]
Alice
I'm not gonna promise you anything, okay?

Rural Misunderstandings and Media Misrepresentation
Maggie Carpenter
Dear Editor: Greetings from the sticks. Perhaps you believe that a rural education is focused mainly on hog calling and tractor maintenance rather than reading. Why else would you print a piece of fiction about me and call it fact? I suppose Mr.Graham was too busy thinking up slanderous statements about how I dump men for kicks to bother with something silly like accuracy in reporting, which is understandable because with a man-eater like me on the loose, who has time to check facts? That's why I was surprised to find Mr. Graham's editor was a woman. Call me a sentimental fool, but I sort of hoped we man-eaters could stick together. Anyway, I'm just dropping you big-city folk this little note to say that I have thought of a ritual sacrifice that would satisfy my current appetite: Ike Graham's column on a platter. Yours truly, Maggie Carpenter. P.S., I have enclosed a list of the gross factual misinterpretations in your article. There are fifteen.

Daisy

Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.
They were bein real jerks!
Daisy
The only jerk at that table was you. They were just being themselves. Bring home your poor Portagee girlfriend for dinner, shake up the family a little.

Daisy
I would never use you to get at somebody. Your father didn't cheat his way out of law school. You did that all on your own. Deal with it, Junior. You're not even good enough for me.

The Value of Lives Over Money
Ms. Sanchez
Let's be honest here. $20 million dollars is more money then these people have ever dreamed of.
Erin Brockovich
Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't shit when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of twenty. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume, another client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
Erin Brockovich
By the way, we had that water brought in special for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Ms. Sanchez
I think this meeting is over.
[''Eyes the water warily and sets the glass back down'']

Understanding Identity in Relationships
Maggie Carpenter
I wanted to tell you why I run - sometimes ride - away from things.
Ike Graham
Does it matter?
Maggie Carpenter
I think so. When I was walking down the aisle, I was walking toward somebody who didn't have any idea who I really was. And it was only half the other person's fault, because I had done everything to convince him that I was exactly what he wanted. So it was good that I didn't go through with it because it would have been a lie. But you - you knew the real me.
[takes a deep breath]
Ike Graham
Yes, I did.
Maggie Carpenter
I didn't. And you being the one at the end of the aisle didn't just fix that.

Annabelle Daniels: 74-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. Lived on the plume since birth. Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. Her parents are Ted & Rita. Ted's got Crohn's disease, Rita has chronic headaches, and nausea, and underwent a hysterectomy last fall. Ted grew up in Hinkley. His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter also lived on the plume. Their number is 454-9554, you want their diseases?
[From memory, to a group of lawyers who don't think she adds anything to the case]

A Significant Challenge Ahead
Ed Masry
This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal.
Erin Brockovich
Kind of like David and whats-his-name.
Ed Masry
Kind of like David and whats-his-name's whole fucking family. Okay, here's the deal: If, and only if, you find all the evidence to back this up, I'll do it, I'll take it on.
[sighs]
Erin Brockovich
You're doing the right thing, Mr. Masry.
Ed Masry
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remind me of that when I'm filing for bankruptcy.

Counting Months in a Conversation
George
How many numbers you got?
Erin Brockovich
Oh, I got numbers comin outta my ears. For instance: ten.
George
Ten?
Erin Brockovich
Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is.
George
You got a little girl?
Erin Brockovich
Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? How bout this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've been married -- and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

Reflections on Friendship and Heartbreak
George
Who called? The man of the moment?
Julianne Potter
No, the opposite, my Michael. Michael O'Neal. Sounds desperate to talk to me.
George
Oh, the wandering sports writer. Remind me about that one.
Julianne
Sophomore year at Brown, we had this one hot month. But, of course, you know me, I got restless. So, I get up the nerve to break his heart and he gives me this look, and then he says, "the thing that makes me wanna cry is, I'm losing the best friend I ever had." And at that moment, I knew, I felt the same way. So, I cried, for maybe the third time in my life, kissed him and we've been best friends ever since. We've seen each other through everything, losing jobs, losing parents, losing lovers. We've travelled all over. The best times of my life, drinking and talking, even if it's just over the phone.
George
God. This is so moving. Kindred spirits, eh?
Julianne
He's nothing like me, he's like you actually, only straight... I remember this one night in Tucson, like, six years ago, where he takes a razor out of this tiny little dop kit, cut's his finger, takes my hand, does the same to me.
George
I'm gonna be sick.
Julianne
He says "swear, if we're 28, if we've never married, we'll marry each other". We never talked about it again. I don't know what made me think of that.
George
You're about to be 28 in three weeks, right? How old's he?
Julianne
You think?
George
Desperate, to talk.
