00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,500My father hated lawyers all his life.
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,500He wasnt a great guy, my old man.
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,500He drank and beat up my mother.
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,500He beat me up, too.
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,500So you might think I became a lawyerjust to piss him off, but youd be wrong.
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,500Id wanted to be a lawyer ever since I read about
the civil rights lawyers in the50s, and 60
s,
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,500and the amazing uses theyve found for the law.
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,500They did what a lot of people thought wasthe impossible: they gave lawyers a good name.
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000And so I went to law school.
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,500
And it did piss my father off, but he was pissed off anyway.
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,500In my first year, he got drunk one day, fell off a ladder manufactured by the company he worked for, and he didnt know who to sue first.
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000He died a couple of months after that.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Now, some of my classmates, they knew they were going straight from school intothe top law firms.
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,500Thanks mostly to their family connections.
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,500The only connections I had were made in the placeswhere I tended bar for three years so I could pay my tuition.
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:45,500And while I still had plans to shinethe blazing light of justice in every dark corner,
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,500
what I really needed right now was a job, and badly.
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,500

Because there are too many lawyers in Memphis.
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000This citys infested with them.
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,500I cant think of anything more embarrassing
than telling people I work for a guy like Bruiser Stone.
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,500I mean, hes a lawyer, and they call him Bruiser.
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000Thats how desperate I am.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Shut the door.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
Sure. Lets make it my house.Okay.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500I really pity the poor FBI technicians whos gonna have to extract the data from the deposition.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Live shark, criminal lawyers office. Thats a joke, you know?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500So, Brents. Is this the law student you were telling me about?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Yes, sir. Just finished my third year at Memphis State.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Couldnt we use him around here?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Ill vouch for him.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500The boy needs a job.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Hes tended bar at our clubs.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Thisll be a great place for you to work, Rudy.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Thisll be a great place for you to work.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Youll see what real lawyers do.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
It aint exactly a salaried position.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500

It isnt?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500I expect my associates to pay for themselves, generate their own fees.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Talk to me.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500How exactly does that work?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Well, Rudy. You draw $1000 a month and you get to keep one-third of all the feesthat you generate.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Now, if you cant cover your draw at the end of each month, you owe me the balance.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Do you understand?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Sounds fair to me, Rudy.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500And thats a hell of a deal, really.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Youll make a lot of money this way.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
Ill tell you something, Rudy.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Thats the only way I operate, and Ill give you a lot of good cases.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500I have cases.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500I have two cases right now.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500One is a will that Im drafting for an old woman, shes loaded, too. Shes worth millions.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500And then I have this other case.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Its an insurance case, Great Benefit, youve heard of them.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500You got these clients signed?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
Im on my way to see them right now.And they listen to me, too.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500All right, thank you. I appreciate it.-Thank you.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Close the door on your way out now, okay?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rainmaker-1997 5/8
There's somebody in the office, you can't have it. It's off-limits.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500This is the bathroom.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Sorry.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500So, are you an associate here?
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500Sorta, not really. I'm actually not a lawyer yet.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,500
