A scene from Intolerable Cruelty 2003
Rex Rexroth

Have you sat before her before?

Miles Massey

No. No, the judge sits first. Then we sit.

Rex Rexroth

Well, have you sat after her before?

Wrigley

Sat after her before? You mean, have we argued before her before?

Miles Massey

The judge sits in judgment. The counsel argues before the judge.

Rex Rexroth

So, have you argued before her before?

Wrigley

Before her before, or before she sat before?

Rex Rexroth

Before her before. I said, before her before.

Wrigley

No, you said before she sat before.

Rex Rexroth

I did at first, but...

Miles Massey

Look, don't argue.

Rex Rexroth

I'm not. I'm...

Wrigley

No, you don't argue. We argue.

Miles Massey

Counsel argues.

Wrigley

You appear.

Miles Massey

The judge sits.

Wrigley

Then you sit.

Miles Massey

Or you stand in contempt.

Wrigley

And then we argue.

Miles Massey

The counsel argues.

Rex Rexroth

Which you've done before.

Miles Massey

Which we've done before.

Rex Rexroth

Ah.

Wrigley

But not before her.
