Judge Kipler:
Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem? Leo F. Drummond:
Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe. Judge Kipler:
[scribbling on a notepad and not looking up]
Nonsense. [stands up] Judge Kipler:
Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit? Leo F. Drummond:
Well your honor, I believe I have. Judge Kipler:
[begins to laugh as he sits back down]
Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in. Leo F. Drummond:
[laughs nervously]
Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that. Judge Kipler:
Well, call me this afternoon by three. Leo F. Drummond:
I don't believe I'm going to be in before three. Judge Kipler:
Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track. Leo F. Drummond:
Yes sir. Judge Kipler:
This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony? Leo F. Drummond:
Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good. Judge Kipler:
How about next Thursday afternoon? Rudy Baylor:
Great for me, your honor. Leo F. Drummond:
I'm sorry, your honor. Judge Kipler:
That's a week from today. Leo F. Drummond:
I believe I'm out of town. [beat] Leo F. Drummond:
Yes, I am out of town Thursday. Judge Kipler:
The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm. [smiles] Judge Kipler:
Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it. [Rudy smiles]

Movie Summary
When Rudy Baylor, a young attorney with no clients, goes to work for a seedy ambulance chaser, he wants to help the parents of a terminally ill boy in their suit against an insurance company. But to take on corporate America, Rudy and a scrappy paralegal must open their own law firm.
