Ms. Sanchez: [at the meeting with the PG & E lawyers] Let's be honest here. $20 million dollars is more money than 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. [Ms. Sanchez picks up a glass of water] Erin Brockovich: By the way, we had that water brought in specially for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley. Ms. Sanchez: [Puts down the glass, without drinking] I think this meeting is over. Ed Masry: Damn right it is.

Counsellors. Counsellors. Let's be honest. $20,000,000 is more than these people have ever dreamed of. Now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demurrer, we have more than 400 plaintiffs. Let's be honest, we know there's more. They may not be sophisticated, but they can divide... ...and $20,000,000 isn't shit after splitting it. Second of all... ...they don't dream of being rich. They dream about watching their kids in a pool... ...without worrying that they'll have a hysterectomy at 20. Like Rosa Diaz, our client. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Bloom, 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. Or what you expect someone to pay you for your uterus. Then take out your calculator and multiply that number by 100. Anything less than that is a waste of our time. We had that water brought in special for you folks. Came from Hinkley. I think this meeting's over. Damn right it is. What the fuck? Did a bomb blow up? You letting the kids run wild? What's that? I saw them in a mall one day. I said, " Damn... ...they'll look good on those beautiful ears." I bought them and I said, "When Erin does something nice, I'll surprise her." You know how long ago that was? Six months ago. - I'm sorry, I've just... - And so what I'm thinking is... Either you gotta find a different job or a different guy. I mean... There may be many men out there who don't mind being the maid... ...and getting nothing. But I ain't one of them. I can't leave my job, George. Yes, you can. People do it all the time.
