Erin Brockovich (2000) Edit

A 5% raise, we'll talk about benefits later.

A declaration.

A few years back, I was trying this airline case...

A job shouldn't put you in danger.

A list attacking each complaint...

A million things could cause those problems.

A rust inhibitor.

A young lady with three young children really should think again.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely! But I do not believe this is a sell out.

According to...

After the judge's decision, I asked him to partner, he didn't hesitate.

Ain't you a beauty?

All I've been doing is working. Ask Mr. Masry.

All I've ever done is bend my life around...

All right, then.

All right.

All they're doing is buying property.

All we're doing is using this information...

All you have to do is call an exterminator.

All you lawyers do is complicate situations that aren't complicated.

Although you may not agree...

Am I gonna get the best behaviour in the office?

Am I...?

An ER doctor, who spends his days saving lives, was out of control?

An on site monitoring well?

And after I find her and kill her...

And at the town meeting.

And benefits, including dental.

And Beth's just 9 months.

And I have here 84 motions to strike and demurrers...

And I thought it meant I was gonna do something important with my life.

And if I ever catch either one of you near one, knock you silly.

And if the judge agrees with them...

And it'd be soaked in red from the nosebleeds.

And readings from the test wells, stuff like that.

And she will have a cup of chicken broth and a few crackers, please.

And stay calm. Stay calm.

And that's what caused the contamination?

And the causes of action against Pacific Gas and Electric are upheld.

And then a jury decides?

And they operated on her about six months ago.

And to the creation of a peaceful earth...

And you and me, we're gonna make him pay for it.

And you say that this stuff, this hexavalent chromium...

And you two, a comparable retroactive bonus on your sale price.

And you! Wooftie!

And, what, Ed? I'm not serious?

And, you know, her little lips wrapped around it.

Annabelle Daniels.

Annabelle Daniels. 714 454 9346.

Any problems?

Anything less than that is a waste of our time.

Anything to get what you want.

Are you getting this down, honey? Or am I talking too fast for you?

Are you gonna be something else that I have to survive?

Are you gonna make them wait?

As I already told you...

As I was saying...

As long as I have one ass instead of two, I'll wear what I like...

Ashley!

Back there.

Ball.

Basically, yeah.

Because before we go to arbitration, the plaintiffs must agree!

Because I'll tell you the truth...

Because PG&E told her about the chromium?

Because she's real sick too.

Because they are. I can't believe you're doing this to me...

Because you suck at it.

Because you're no good to me sick.

Because, after careful consideration, I felt...

Before I do, is there anything anyone wants to say?

Before you go off on a crusade...

Behind your foot.

Being ignored and being lied to.

Believe it or not, I'm on the prowl for some water records.

Beth and Katie are.

Beth started talking.

Beth? My Beth?

Binding arbitration isn't that different from a trial.

Bob?

Boy, do I know how you feel.

Breast cysts, uterine cancer, Hodgkin's, immune deficiencies...

Bring the phone into the changing room. Of course they won't.

Brockovich, B R O C K O V l C H.

Broke, three kids, no job.

Brush. And keep it down, the baby's asleep.

Bullshit. If you had a full staff, you'd return a client's damn call.

But be careful. Don't scare him off.

But PG&E paid for that doctor.

But that's not PG&E's fault.

But they told us more than a year ago.

But they're wrong.

But we have a full staff now...

But we have a lot of work to do...

By choice.

By that standard, I assume you never get laid.

By the time I got through opening new supermarkets...

Came from Hinkley.

Can I ask why?

Can I come in?

Can I take a brief break here for a moment?

Can you excuse me for a quick... I'm just gonna run to the...

Can you take her?

Can you tell me who I talk to about getting an advance on my paycheck?

Careful.

Charles Embry.

Charles. Erin.

Chromium's in the water to prevent corrosion.

Coffee will be great. Thank you.

Come on in, would ya?

Come on, aren't you gonna play?

Come on, baby.

Come on, Erin.

Come on.

Come on.

Come to think of it, we had a big event around here.

Completely. No faith.

Could I have a look?

Counsellors.

Counsellors.

Course, as it turns out...

Damn it, I don't ask you to do things like that.

Damn it, I don't ask you to do things like that.

Damn it!

Damn right it is.

Delivery for Ed Masry.

Dictating to some goddamned clerk so you could finish this without me.

Did anyone ask if you wanted coffee?

Did I tell you that?

Did you get that?

Did you see it last night?

Did you tell them that?

Did you?

Did you? I think I ate three watermelons.

Do they teach beauty queens how to apologize?

Do they teach lawyers to apologize? Because you suck at it.

Do you know why people think lawyers are scumbags?

Do you see that?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Do you understand? This is serious.

Does anyone know anything about these phones?

Does PG&E pay you to cover their ass?

Doesn't make one fucking bit of difference.

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't say how much this thing's gonna cost us.

Don't be like that.

Don't be too nice to me, okay?

Don't bother.

Don't I know you?

Don't lie to us.

Don't make me beg.

Don't make me beg.

Don't make me beg.

Don't pepper him with questions. Don't do that. Just...

Don't play with that.

Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot.

Don't teach her anything too early.

Don't tell me I can't stop, take a breath and enjoy life.

Don't tell me I don't work hard!

Don't use big words you don't understand.

Don't you use language like that with...

Donald, Anna...

Donald.

Donna called me.

Donna Jensen?

Donna just put in these new cabinets, stained the wood and all...

Donna told me that you've been sick and that your kids were sick...

Donna.

Each one attacking the validity of this complaint.

Each one gets a go before the judge to determine damages.

Ed and I are still here for you.

Ed Masry, please.

Ed Masry. Sorry you had to wait.

Ed. Ed, oh, my God.

Ed. Erin, what's this?

Eggs would be perfect.

Either you gotta find a different job or a different guy.

Erin Brockovich?

Erin, excuse me.

Erin, I'm not them. So...

Erin, it's great to meet you. You've done a fabulous job.

Erin, there are plenty of jobs out there.

Erin.

Erin. Erin. Cool.

Ever since that shithead hit me...

Every county has one.

Everybody has a code.

Everybody loves the desk...

Everybody up today.

Everyone has to agree, or no one has a chance!

Everyone's. We need to be able to contact the plaintiffs.

Everything the Jensens have had...

Everything you all have is on that list.

Everything's done?

Excuse me for not going to law school.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Excuse me... Theresa, is it? There are no holes in my research.

Figuring out who takes him to roller hockey...

Fine.

Fine.

First of all, since the demurrer, we have more than 400 plaintiffs.

Five million dollars?

Five million dollars.

For damages, medical expenses and personal trauma...

For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me.

For the whole group, or for us?

Forty goddamned percent?

Forty one years old.

Four more. Eleven people so far.

Fuck if I'm gonna help you do that.

Fuck!

Funny how some people help people, and others just fire them.

Get a towel, will you? Hey, hey...

Get back to work!

Get down, bud.

Get in bed.

Get ready for bed. Brush your teeth.

Get some sleep.

Give her a cold washcloth to suck on. I'll check back later.

Give me your number. I got your address...

Go home. Get well.

Go, roll the dice and play.

God, I was Miss Wichita, for chrissake.

Goddamn it, Randy's mom doesn't work, and his dad didn't leave her!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

Good morning, Mr. Masry.

Good morning.

Good night, buddy.

Good, because I don't find you attractive either.

Good.

Got a knee for me?

Got so many friends you can't use one more?

Got your own room.

Great.

Guess I just didn't expect it.

Guess who's on the cover of Los Angeles Lawyer magazine?

Hang on tight there.

Harmful how? What would you get?

Have a fucking cup of coffee, Ed.

Have the kids eaten?

He came tearing around the corner, out of control.

He had kidney tumours...

He said that...

He say why?

He used to spend time wading around them. That was his job.

He wanted you to know that the legal limit for hexavalent chromium...

He wouldn't hesitate now, we did all the work. Where was he before?

He'd be cleaning the cooling towers, wearing...

He's drawing the line.

He's gonna make them give 5 million of that to your family.

He's gonna make them pay 333 million.

He's the toughest I'd ever been up against.

Hell of a lot bigger than just filing.

Hell of a lot bigger than just filing.

Hell, no. I hate lawyers. I just work for 'em.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Am I alone in the car? Yes?

Help your sister with her shoes. Let's go.

Her parents are Ted and Rita.

Here are the ponds, the plume comes down...

Here, get on me, now.

Here, sit. Sit down.

Here's the deal.

Here's where we organize all the files alphabetically.

Hey, come on.

Hey, how do you remember your bank balance?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey. Bed.

Hi, my sweetie. Hello.

Hi.

Hi. Excuse me, ladies, I'm Ed Masry.

Highly toxic. Highly carcinogenic.

Holy cow!

Holy shit.

Honest to God, I don't know if I have the energy.

How about in terms of medical expenses?

How about that?

How are we doing?

How are you?

How are you?

How can you ask me to do that?

How come those files are in with all the real estate stuff?

How could you take this away from me?

How did you do this?

How do I find out what kind of chromium they use in Hinkley?

How long has she been crying?

How many decks did you have?

How many families are we talking about?

How many numbers you got?

How many were born like this?

How would you know?

How you doing? Donald.

How's it going?

I agree. I agree. I'm going to.

I always wanted to go to medical school.

I am really sorry, George.

I bought them and I said, When Erin does something nice, I'll surprise her.

I brought some information today, if you wanna have a look at it.

I brought some stuff that you might be interested in.

I called Ed two days ago, Erin. He still hasn't called me back.

I can get a job.

I can see it in your eyes. You drive them wild.

I can't afford one. I can't even afford my phone.

I can't call an exterminator.

I can't leave my job, George.

I couldn't take painkillers. They made me too groggy to take care of my kids.

I didn't ask you to put it in the middle of the floor.

I didn't know it was that much!

I didn't wanna tell you before.

I do construction, which pays good, and I make it last by living cheap.

I do too. Because now I can just look after the kids...

I do. I do want your number.

I don't even know how much money that is.

I don't have any actual sales experience.

I don't have any computer skills.

I don't have insurance...

I don't know if I could handle that.

I don't know if we can pull this off.

I don't know shit, but I know the difference between right and wrong!

I don't know what happened to me.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I don't know what I'd have done without you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know. A few days.

I don't know. She, I was, she... I don't know why.

I don't mean to be a pain to PG&E after all they've done for Hinkley...

I don't mind taking you up on that.

I don't miss dinner all the time. We all ate together last night.

I don't really have a resume, but I can...

I don't remember seeing any ponds up there.

I don't think so.

I don't wanna feel it all over again...

I don't want her coming to the house again. She upsets Annabelle.

I don't want your money, Mr. Masry.

I doubt they'll accept.

I feel like I can talk to you too.

I feel much better.

I feel you looking at me.

I fell madly in love with geology.

I figured it was something I did.

I found a document at the water board, a toxic test well reading from 1967.

I get up in the centre of the stage...

I got all these kings. You win, you got a joker.

I got fired.

I got numbers coming out of my ears. For instance, 10.

I got Pamela Duncan.

I guess I did.

I guess I'm not the right kind.

I guess the only thing that confused me...

I had an interesting call this afternoon from Dr. Frankel...

I had an interesting call this afternoon from Dr. Frankel...

I had my foot out like this,

I have before me a complaint on behalf of residents...

I have reviewed all of the information carefully.

I have so many questions.

I have to open a file.

I have to take a bath.

I have to take a second mortgage.

I have to tell you.

I have your bonus check.

I just can't believe she dumps my kids off when nobody's home.

I just need facts, dates, time.

I just wanna be a good mom...

I just wanna take good care of my kids.

I just want to make sure that I'm understanding what I'm reading.

I know how those things are run.

I know Theresa isn't real warm, but she's a good lawyer.

I know what these kids can sleep through, better than you.

I know you're upset, but the way this job is...

I know. But the toxicologist that I've been talking to...

I know. I spoke to Ted. Pamela Duncan wouldn't even get on the phone with me!

I learned how to read maps.

I left a message. I was gonna write a whole damn report.

I like hanging out with them. They keep it simple.

I like the way you say that.

I love bundt cake.

I love your pants.

I mean, you got a raise.

I mean...

I mean...

I need a paycheck. And I've looked.

I need you, all right?

I never had that before, ever.

I never thought standing could take it out of you.

I personally managed to save a million dollars...

I really hate you sometimes.

I really like that girl.

I remember seeing him over at the plant.

I said I'm sorry. Keep your voice down.

I said whose number do you need?

I said, Damn...

I sat in the steam with her to try to loosen it up.

I saw them in a mall one day.

I see what you mean about a secret weapon.

I spent 18 months on this case...

I still have my tiara.

I sure wish I would've had longer to get used to the idea.

I think this meeting's over.

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

I think you know Donna.

I thought he was trying to kill me or pick me up...

I told you he might get personal.

I understand they've had bad luck, health wise.

I understand.

I wanna know about how the plant works and the cooling towers, just everything.

I wanna know about how the plant works and the cooling towers, just everything.

I wanna know how the hell you sleep at night.

I wanna show you what you helped to do.

I want to show you where the X erox machine is.

I want you to be prepared.

I want you to know, it's not about the number!

I wanted to come out here instead of calling...

I was home.

I was pulling out real slow, and out of nowhere...

I was watching you.

I was working in the compressor.

I went out there and performed sexual favours. 634 blowjobs in five days.

I will devote my entire reign as Miss Wichita...

I will take care of this.

I wish I knew. It's for my boss. He's in this water dispute...

I work when I need to.

I would like to go home.

I wouldn't advertise what you're looking for.

I wouldn't like to speculate.

I'd bring the kids into the hospital...

I'd like to leave a message.

I'd rather walk her through this in person, to show her...

I'll be as quick as I can. Matthew, can you watch your sister?

I'll be right back.

I'll be right behind you, all right?

I'll be there in a minute.

I'll be working a lot harder...

I'll bring you back some breakfast.

I'll call you back. You've been gone for a week.

I'll call you if I need anything.

I'll call you up proper and ask you out.

I'll go to the Daniels', the nicest people you'll ever meet...

I'll open, Mommy.

I'll present your offer to my clients.

I'll remember that. Thanks.

I'll spend more time in my car...

I'll take Erin down the hall...

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

I'll tell them...

I'm a client. I want him to call. It's that simple.

I'm a fast learner. Show me in a lab once...

I'm a little busy, honey.

I'm a slow reader.

I'm about to drive off the road, I'm so tired. Keep me awake.

I'm almost done. Look.

I'm calling about the job ad.

I'm doing more for them now than I did living with my parents.

I'm Erin Brockovich, with Masry and Vititoe.

I'm fixing the leak.

I'm gonna have a cheeseburger deluxe with a Coke.

I'm great with people.

I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

I'm just a guy with a small, private firm!

I'm married.

I'm moving in with her.

I'm not a good judge of character, or I wouldn't have left them...

I'm not gonna quit because of one creepy phone call, George.

I'm not in danger.

I'm not saying it's not a strong case.

I'm not talking to you, bitch!

I'm out of practice.

I'm ready to give my decision.

I'm really quite tired.

I'm smart and hard working. I'm not leaving here without a job.

I'm smart and hard working. I'm not leaving here without a job.

I'm so glad we got that out of the way.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry, I just don't see why you're corresponding with PG&E...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Will you accept my apology?

I'm sorry. You know what?

I'm sorry. You were gone. I assumed you were off having fun.

I'm telling you the truth, and I'll get to the bottom of all of this.

I'm the lawyer involved in the case. You might like to read these.

I'm the one that's injured, and this joker sits at a desk all day...

I'm Tom Robinson.

I'm trying to help.

I'm trying to relax. This Charles Embry...

I'm unemployed.

I've been making inquiries with other firms...

I've built a firm and kept it alive through lawsuits and injunctions.

I've got a couple of girls.

I've only got hundreds.

I've seen nurses give my son throat cultures, and what is it?

I've survived a quadruple bypass, cancer...

I've worked all my life.

If I was on my deathbed, if it helped you, you'd drag me out of it!

If it doesn't work out, you can always send them back to the chicken fat lady.

If it weren't for you, I'd be in Palm Springs now.

If PG&E messed with our water...

If that's not personal, I don't know what is.

If we can ride out the year with no one suing...

If we went to trial...

If you could reserve sentimental embellishments, I'd appreciate it...

If you dig one inch under the surface...

If you don't know how to do your job by now, I'm not gonna do it for you.

If you have any questions, let me know.

If you have questions, I'm here all day.

If you need help with them, I could do that.

If you need someone to look after your kids after school, or whatever...

If, and only if, you find all the evidence to back this up, I'll do it.

In a case like this, you only have one year...

In terms of land value in Hinkley...

In the interest of putting this to rest...

In the matter of the plaintiffs of Hinkley, California vs. PG&E...

Instead of being polite and treating her with respect...

Internal PG&E documents, all about the contamination.

Intimidation.

Introducing ourselves to the neighbourhood, I guess.

Investigate what?

Is he ever in the office?

Is she sick?

Is that so?

Is that supposed to impress me?

Is this the Erin Brockovich that's been snooping around the water board?

Is your phone number in this?

It covers all our expenses to date...

It didn't help, but no. The problem started on the bottom.

It gets into your DNA, so you pass the trouble to your kids. Very bad.

It is about the way my work is valued.

It seemed like no matter what we did, it always came back.

It shouldn't matter when it started.

It took me so long to get organized. Would you put that back, please?

It was great.

It was intense.

It was Kurt Potter.

It was pretty intense.

It was so good.

It's a dolly? It's...

It's a good day to come by. She's feeling good.

It's a good day.

It's a little more complicated than Hinkley, so let me do that.

It's called a test trial.

It's good for them.

It's good for you.

It's gotta be different than what's in our water, because ours is okay.

It's impressive.

It's like she'd been looking at it for months...

It's not how I do business.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's only a matter of time until he makes his move.

It's our lucky day.

It's overseen by a judge. Evidence is presented in much the same way.

It's some slim pickings here, baby.

It's to Hinkley from PG&E headquarters.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Jesus. They look like the Secret Service.

Just because she dresses like a lawyer...

Just because she's not supporting kids with no husband, she's not an idiot!

Just couldn't get rid of it.

Just for the weekend.

Just listen. Did I ever tell you about that airline case?

Just play.

Just tell me what you wanna look at, and I'd be glad to dig 'em out.

Just think of me as the person next door who likes it quiet.

Kids are sick. Animals need to be fed.

Kind of like David and what's his name.

Kind of like David and what's his name's whole fucking family.

King.

Kurt thinks it's the best way to go.

Last office down the corridor, on the right.

Law school? At this point, I'd settle for charm school!

Let me get that out of your hair.

Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

Let the games begin.

Let's assume there are documents connecting PG&E Hinkley and Corporate...

Let's be honest, we know there's more.

Let's be honest.

Let's fix dinner.

Let's go get some pancakes, girly. Come on.

Let's go over to these nice ladies. Hi.

Let's go, brother. Get on.

Like Rosa Diaz, our client.

Like you're the type of person I could say anything to.

Like, when I smoked marijuana, maybe...

Listen, good work. They're a great start.

Listen, whoever did this to you made one hell of a mistake.

Listen.

Look at the water.

Look at these readings.

Look at this mess that you've made.

Look, Erin, this incident aside, I don't think this is the right...

Look, I promise you that we'll be very sensitive on this point.

Look, we live next door. I feel bad.

Look, what is this... What's the story on this cancer stuff?

Look, you may want to... Now that you're working here...

Look...

Lookit is right.

Lookit.

Make a point!

Makes me nervous.

Mandy, here, has had...

Masry and Vititoe, can I...? Shoot!

Masry and Vititoe...

Matt, buddy. Put that down. Let's go.

Matthew, Katie!

Matthew, Katie.

Matthew!

Matthew! Katie! We're going out!

Matthew?

Matthew? Katie?

Matthew? Katie?

Matthew's 8, and Katie's almost 6.

Maybe some of us wanna wait 10 years!

Maybe that's Ed McMahon. Let's go see.

Maybe that's Ed McMahon. Let's go see.

Maybe you look like someone who has a lot of fun.

Maybe.

Meet our new partner, Kurt Potter. He'll handle Hinkley.

Mom, what do you think about me getting a tattoo?

Mommy, can I have a cheeseburger deluxe with no cheese and no bread?

Money's going out, nothing's coming in.

More people have lived there since then.

Mr. Foil?

Mr. Linwood!

Mrs. Masry, don't be such a tease. Hold on, just hold on. Yeah?

My cousin passed away yesterday.

My daughter bought a big house with a room for me.

My daughter was in and out of hospitals more than his.

My ex husband was useless, so...

My fee is 40% of whatever you get awarded.

My lawyer took me out to a fancy lunch to celebrate, and I'm still stuffed.

My medical bills started two years ago, before some of the other people here.

My name's Erin, and I'll be here all day.

My name's George. What's yours?

My sweat! My time away from my kids!

My wife makes really good bundt cake.

Nice to meet you.

Nice.

No benefits.

No jury and no appeal.

No matter what I do, you're not...

No need to worry about maxi pads and underwire.

No, a million would have been an offer. They send that...

No, but I've called about a dozen times.

No, but we don't anticipate that being a problem.

No, I don't want a joke.

No, no, no.

No.

No.

No.

No. I have kids. Learned a lot right there.

No. You love me.

Nobody calls me Pattee.

None. The judge's decision is final.

Nope. And I didn't ask.

Not a good answer.

Not anymore.

Not like with insurance, where you pay and maybe you see some money in a year.

Not personal?

Not that your medical problems aren't important.

Not the old lady next door.

Now I can help take care of my grandkids.

Now that pisses me off.

Now with money, you can hire a good babysitter.

Now, don't go getting jealous, Theresa.

Now, I hate to say this, but...

Now, look, everyone. Is this a big decision?

Of all the words in her life, ball.

Of course I did.

Of course, gathering evidence is a big job.

Oh, come on.

Oh, Erin. Oh, God.

Oh, fuck!

Oh, hi.

Oh, I don't wanna move. Uproot the kids?

Oh, I made a bundt cake.

Oh, long time, you know, years. I never did keep track of it.

Oh, shit.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, well, yeah, thanks.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, you fucking piece of crap with no signal!

Oh, you're married?

Oh! You're a lawyer?

Oh. Well, I thought it was the local store.

Okay, bye.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Okay, if you don't like Theresa, that's okay.

Okay, so here's what I'll do.

Okay.

Okay. Thanks anyway.

On a more personal note...

One day they'll see it.

One, two, three.

Open and fucking shut?!

Or do you just do it out of the kindness of your heart?

Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Bloom, another client of ours.

Or what you expect someone to pay you for your uterus.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dropped the demurrers. I wouldn't be here.

Our jaws just dropped.

Our new partner?

Our offer is final and more than fair.

Out of high school, I got a job...

Out of the blue like that.

Over what kind of period of time?

Over what kind of period of time?

Pamela has written a letter...

Pamela made everybody mad with that letter.

People are dying, Scott.

People do it all the time.

People wanna tell their story. Just let him talk. Let him...

People, listen, please!

PG&E bought our house last year.

PG&E Corporate claims they didn't know about Hinkley.

PG&E has requested that we submit to binding arbitration.

PG&E Hinkley, but nobody'll get rich unless we pin this on Corporate...

PG&E proposes that they're liable...

PG&E still looks good to their shareholders.

PG&E will submit a demurrer.

PG&E's own technicians documented...

Piggyback!

Please don't be mad at me.

Please, don't ask me to give it up.

Please, I have an idea.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Erin.

Plus, he's out all the costs.

Plus, of course, any type of cancer.

Poor diet, bad genes, irresponsible lifestyle.

Probably hundreds more out there have moved away.

Put the kids through that.

Randy's mom said yes.

Real estate thing, pro bono.

Really, may I keep these?

Remind me of that when I'm filing for bankruptcy.

Right now.

Roll the dice.

Rosalind's the office manager.

Say I'm not a lawyer. That may help.

Second of all...

See if they offer a reasonable settlement, or throw more paper at us.

See you Monday.

See, that impresses me.

Seeing as how I have no brains or legal expertise...

Seeing as how you've been so good to me, it's a terrible oversight.

Seventeen thousand in debt?

Sexy, huh? How about this? Six.

Shanna! Get out of the pool!

She asks the same questions you did. I told you everything.

She called us thieves.

She came by an hour ago. Something came up, she dropped them off.

She didn't look away or anything.

She handles the payroll and petty cash.

She is, but that's why I'm helping her.

She just had her arm out like that. Ball.

She keeps getting tumours...

She leaves early on Fridays.

She pointed her little finger...

She wants to go to school.

She was just sitting there with her arm out.

She was referred.

She works here.

She's getting heavy, and I'll work faster if you take her.

She's gone already.

She's gonna do it.

She's got a cough.

She's got that tooth coming in.

She's out to lunch with the girls.

Shit.

Shit. Go back and see if he'll make a declaration.

Show me the document to prove it.

Show them into the conference room.

Six months ago.

Slow down.

So are the kids.

So basically it all comes down to...

So before you come back here with another lame ass offer...

So Ed and I have been putting together a present for you.

So how long is this gonna take?

So how many altogether?

So I figured maybe...

So I increased it.

So I realized...

So I'm gonna make a few calls, find you something else.

So I'm gonna make a few calls, find you something else.

So PG&E figures...

So that stuff, it kills people.

So wait a minute. Let me just get this straight.

So we need to get them together in groups of 20 or 30.

So what do we do now?

So you say.

So you think that... Let me do it.

So, uh...

Someone took my stuff.

Something came up?

Something like this, Erin, it could take forever.

Something that proves that prior to 1987...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that there's no jury in binding arbitration.

Sorry, we need to have those records back now.

Sorry, would you mind if I investigate this?

Sounds great. Let's do that.

Specific details...

Stamp received March 1966.

Stay.

Sure, you were at the barbecue in Hinkley.

Sweetie. Please don't get sick on me, please.

Taking the trouble to send someone...

Talk to you later, baby. Bye.

Ted grew up in Hinkley. His brother and his wife and their kids...

Ted's got Crohn's disease. Rita has headaches and underwent a hysterectomy.

Tell her I won't take up too much of her time.

Tell me about what went on back there.

Tell me about what went on back there.

Tell your clients they're going to trial.

Ten years old. Lived on the plume since birth.

Ten. There are lots of other places I could get work.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much. Aren't you a gentleman, Mr?

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm only sorry you couldn't meet Erin.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming. Erin, I was just talking about you.

Thanks for having me...

Thanks.

Thanks.

That asshole smashed in my fucking neck!

That didn't really work out.

That document you found at the water board...

That is my work!

That it meant I was someone.

That sicko that called could've only found out about me from you.

That way, at any time, we can tell the status of a file.

That we've been lied to.

That's all you got, lady, two wrong feet in fucking ugly shoes.

That's enough!

That's how many months old my baby girl is.

That's my other daughter. Eight is my son.

That's not how we work. You don't leave a message and take off.

That's not what... That's not what our doctor said.

That's okay.

That's right.

That's the year of the Love Canal controversy.

That's what brought me out here.

That's what those PG&E fucks want me to think.

That's what we told them, you and me. They won't understand this.

That's where we try the case without a jury, before a judge.

The arbitration proposal...

The chromium.

The figure's not exactly what we discussed.

The files you asked for.

The first time I heard that number, I said, You're kidding me.

The great personality, good voice.

The guys from PG&E told me.

The husband's sick with Hodgkin's.

The idea of selling, if they're not gonna pay us properly...

The judge's decision is final. There's no appeal.

The minute Brenda sent that fax...

The one I like best says...

The point we have to address tonight is getting everyone to agree...

The polite thing is to say thank you. I'd start it off with that.

The reason PG&E even talks to us...

The supervisor calls me

The thing is, it doesn't matter whether you win, lose or draw here.

The utility plants use piston engines that get hot, they run water through.

Their number is 454 9554.

Then I don't get anything either.

Then it's all over.

Then take out your calculator and multiply that number by 100.

Then there were memos about the holding ponds, the water in them.

Then they didn't know. If so, we can't hit them with punitive damages.

Then they dump the excess water into these ponds.

Then we're even.

Then, Hey, that's a really nice offer.

There are things we need you probably didn't know to ask.

There may be many men out there who don't mind being the maid...

There's a downside.

There's chrom six, hexavalent chromium...

There's chrom three, which is fairly benign.

There's just so much correspondence, I just keep it all in one place.

There's more important information than that in there.

There's more than one?

There's more?

There's no baby in here.

There's something about this thing I don't understand, Mr. Masry.

There's something else too.

There's straight up chromium, it does good things for the body.

These papers are public record. I'm not leaving...

They all said no, said they don't have it.

They called County Services because they assumed the kids were abused.

They detected a tumour in her brain.

They did?

They dream about watching their kids in a pool...

They have 28 billion dollars. They can afford to waste time.

They have had...

They have my sympathies.

They invited 200 people from the area...

They just took care of it. Just like that.

They keep records of anything in their jurisdiction.

They knew. They had to know.

They made an offer.

They may not be sophisticated, but they can divide...

They sat right in the kitchen and told me that it was fine.

They screwed up and they admit it.

They screwed up, Erin!

They settle due to lack of money.

They took some bone from my hip and put it in my neck.

They use the hexachrome here, in these cooling towers, as an anticorrosive.

They'll bury us in paperwork for years.

They'll never try that many all at once.

They're a huge corporation!

They're called boobs, Ed.

They're here? I went to pick them up.

They're not asleep?

They're not in a lawsuit.

They're not. I trusted you.

They're signed, every one.

They're still waiting for their money!

They've been covered over, and not too carefully.

Think about where you'll be in 15 or 20 years.

This case needs you.

This girl's the same age as me.

This guy just offered all this information?

This guy said he destroyed records. He worked there.

This guy's too smart.

This is a Harley Davidson, the best motorcycle ever.

This is a monster case. We're up to 411 plaintiffs.

This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal.

This is good news!

This is Nelson Perez, he works at the compressor station.

This is so helpful. Is it okay if I write this down?

This is the best shot to get everyone some money now.

This isn't a job where you can disappear for days at a time.

This isn't gonna get you laid.

This job...

This real estate thing with the Jensens. The pro bono.

This the only thing you got?

Those of you about to leave, I'd like 1978!

Time to go to bed.

To establish a statute of limitations.

To take that chance.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, mousse and deodorant.

Torture them.

Trust? You want me to trust you?

Twelve or 13 or so.

Two is the times I've been married and divorced.

Um... you have no actual medical training?

Up in Hinkley...

Very well.

Wait a minute. I thought we were negotiating here.

Wait. Hold on there. Let's start over, okay?

Wanna get some pancakes? Come on, let's go.

Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer, so she spent every minute in the pool.

We add plaintiffs, we're in the middle of a toxic trot...

We can find it, or we don't have a big win.

We can get them, Pamela.

We can get these people.

We can.

We completely forgot your birthday this year.

We got a lot done.

We got just about everybody that came here, but it leaves us about 150 short.

We got PG&E by the balls.

We had more than enough.

We had that water brought in special for you folks.

We have a lot of work to do together.

We have something for you.

We have to find them, it's taking time.

We invited these people. Ed and I have to...

We know what it is.

We must've stood there for three or four minutes and just looked at her.

We never saw a bill.

We take our 400 or so plaintiffs and everything you've dug up...

We used to live across the street from the Jensens.

We were sitting around...

We'll give you a shredder...

We'll have to go door to door.

We'll just spend some time filling in the holes in your research.

We'll make her feel better.

We'll make sure they see...

We'll see.

We're doing great.

We're fine. We cooked burgers, had some milk.

We're gonna get them, aren't we?

We're introduced. So shut up.

We're living right next door. If you need a cup of a sugar...

We're looking at $100,000 a month.

We're not interested in getting involved.

We're taking your car to go get breakfast.

We're trying to do that, in a few months.

We've taken 162 declarations.

Well, come on in.

Well, I am the neighbours. There.

Well, I think some of the girls are a little uncomfortable...

Well, I'd got so used to having them come up benign.

Well, I'm sure I'll fuck 'em up eventually.

Well, it just so happens, I think I look nice.

Well, it seems like everybody in the family ended up with a rash somehow.

Well, it's enough. It's enough for whatever you could ever need...

Well, let me remind you then.

Well, Mike Ambrosino had remembered...

Well, Mrs. De Soto said...

Well, Mrs. De Soto said...

Well, nice talking to you.

Well, not now. I'm sorry. I won't do it.

Well, that one's got absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Well, that's what kicked this whole thing off.

Well, the place is a pigsty. There's probably more.

Well, the vet said they had a bunch of tumours and stuff.

Well, they paid for the doctor's visit.

Well, this is it.

Well, what's it used for?

Well, which? There's a big difference.

Well, yeah. Nelson cares what's in those ponds.

Well, you can see they couldn't really walk.

Well, you know what, Mr. Potter?

Well, you've got quite a lot done already. So...

Well. Wasn't that nice of him?

Well...

Were you a good girl?

What a nice surprise this is.

What about you, huh?

What about your kids?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing making all that goddamn noise?

What can I do for you, Erin?

What do I owe you?

What do you call them?

What do you do? Live off your trust fund?

What do you mean, you got fired? You're working so hard.

What do you mean?

What do you want, a joke?

What for?

What happened?

What I am saying is, we don't have a smoking gun...

What makes you think you can just walk in there...

What more can I do to prove that to you?

What option do we have if we don't like the result?

What that's supposed to mean?

What the fuck are you talking about?

What the fuck? Did a bomb blow up? You letting the kids run wild?

What the hell are you doing here?

What the hell do you know about any of this?

What we do in here is file all of the cases.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What's going on?

What's she doing here?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's the matter?

What's the point?

What's up?

What's with the attitude? I just need cool, I need quiet.

What's your point?

When Donna told us what you told her about the chromium...

When I saw you, I said to myself, There's something about her.

When was I gonna hear about this?

When you spend 6 years raising babies, it's hard to get a job that pays.

Where do you think your paycheck comes from?

Where have you been?

Where is it?

Where it is in the office and stuff.

Where the fuck is my stuff?

Where's Anna?

Where's my stuff?

Which number do you want, George?

Which one?

Who fucking lives like this, George?

Who is it?

Who knows they poisoned people and lied about it.

Who lets their kids run around in a place with bugs the size of house cats?

Who put that there?

Who would like coffee and cake?

Whoever is behind you.

Whose number do you need?

Why are there medical records and blood samples in real estate files?

Why aren't you out to lunch with the girls? You're a girl.

Why can't her own mama help her?

Why did you want me to come?

Why didn't she call?

Why don't I take you out to dinner to apologize?

Why don't you give me the address now? Just in case.

Why don't you guys go ahead without me, and I'll get a ride with Ed.

Why is that?

Why not just keep quiet about it?

Why not?

Why should I respect her?

Why the hell would you assume that?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Will you listen to me? It doesn't matter.

With a little effort, I think we can nail their asses to the wall.

With punitive damages, it's a sum of money that can...

With real estate stuff, could you remind me? I'm a little confused.

With repeated exposure to toxic levels, anything...

With your legal expertise, you believe that?

Work hard?

Worst cases, the most life threatened, the sickest first and so on.

Would it be important if, when I worked at the plant, I destroyed documents?

Would you like another beer, or...

Wow! Twenty eight billion!

Wow. Why'd they do that?

Wrong Ed.

Wrong Ed.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, get her out of her nightgown here.

Yeah, I got it. No problem.

Yeah, it might.

Yeah, she can't wait to get on her new dress.

Yeah, there's two. Why?

Yeah, we've been there from time to time.

Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, you just...

Yeah. But I lost my job because...

Yeah. Who's this?

Yes, I'm calling about the job ad in the paper.

Yes, I'm holding for Ed Masry.

Yes, I'm sure it is.

Yes, look.

Yes, you can.

You all have to come together...

You always this hard on people who try to help you?

You and I both know...

You are living next door to a real, live fucking beauty queen.

You ask Mr. Masry. He fired you.

You bet. Paid for a checkup for the whole family.

You can afford daycare. You don't need me.

You can leave the kids with the chicken fat lady again.

You cheat! Get another one.

You cheat.

You come to the right place.

You did good.

You did? I didn't know that. Donald seems to think...

You didn't happen to make a copy, did you?

You didn't put the house up for sale. They just wanted to buy it?

You don't do the work, you don't get to stay.

You don't even have phone numbers.

You don't know 600 numbers by heart.

You drive all the boys crazy, don't you?

You expect me to leave my kids with strangers, knock on doors...

You expect me to leave my kids with strangers, knock on doors...

You go ahead and order.

You got a pen, honey?

You got a problem with me caring for your kids instead of a job?

You got a really nice office.

You got great kids.

You gotta promise me that we're gonna get them.

You heard what that kid said.

You know how important Annabelle is to me.

You know how long ago that was?

You know what toxicologists and geology experts cost?

You know what?

You know, I've been sick. Me and Pete both have.

You know, it would probably be easiest...

You know, seeing somebody's first word.

You may want to rethink your wardrobe a little.

You might wanna rethink those ties.

You must have been feeling desperate that afternoon.

You never called me back. I left messages.

You people don't give a shit.

You poor thing.

You said to fire me?

You say anything, you make this personal, and it isn't.

You should go in.

You should reward me accordingly. It's not complicated.

You should watch your step.

You should've seen Matthew and Katie and me.

You stick a giant Q tip down their throat and wait.

You stole a joker!

You take that dipstick to see if the white count's high.

You think if you got no uterus...

You think the men who gave me those children...

You think we scared them?

You told me I had a good shot!

You turn it?

You turn it?

You wanna know, you have to hire me back. I got a ton of bills to pay.

You wanna open the can for Mommy? Well, here, I'll help you.

You wanna open the can for Mommy? Well, here, I'll help you.

You wanna win this? He gave me this check.

You want a hot dog? There's one.

You want eggs?

You want my number?

You want their diseases?

You were lied to. You're sick and your kids are sick because of those lies.

You were talking to everybody and writing down a lot of stuff.

You were told to destroy those?

You'd have to observe me to know for sure. Trust me on that.

You're a girl.

You're a very special lady.

You're actually a happier woman.

You're back so soon.

You're dead wrong about that zero.

You're doing the right thing.

You're driving me nuts.

You're emotional, you're erratic.

You're good at talking people into things.

You're home every afternoon?

You're kidding, right?

You're my little baby. What is that? A little cough?

You're not eating?

You're someone to me.

You're trying not to feel guilty about firing someone with 3 kids.

You've been here long enough.

You've got document after document...

Your ex husband helping?

Your little ghosts.

Your nine o'clock's here already.

10% raise and benefits, but that's it. I'm drawing the line.

28 billion dollars?

850 3943, that's my phone number.

6086 Ridge Road...

Pattee, is that your middle name? No, maiden.

A mask? Yeah, doctors' masks.

All of them? All of them.

All right. I'll help you.

All right. Okay.

Alrighty. Well, thanks. Good luck.

And for you? Just a cup of coffee.

And here is your desk. Okay.

And... Oh, my God.

Are you Erin Brockovich? Yeah.

Are you sure? Yep.

Been to their water board? What's that?

Brenda! Brenda! Yeah?

But guess what? They skipped that step?

Can I come with you? No, baby, I'll just be a second.

Can I just? Yeah.

Can you just give me one...? Of course. Sure.

Did you do your homework? Yeah.

Do I get to pick my own code? We'll see.

Doctor in a Jaguar is a meal ticket... Objection.

Don't you ever just know? Do you know about money?

Erin, can I...? But then...

Erin, hi. Hi.

Erin, I thought you took a sick day. So did I.

Exactly the language... It was over before that!

Fuck you! Fuck you back!

Geology? Yeah.

Going up your leg now. Jesus!

Good morning! Morning.

Guess what? What?

Have a good weekend. Thank you.

Hello. Hello, sweetness.

Here you go. Great.

Hey, get in the house. No dripping. Okay!

Hey, Matt. Hey, Erin. How are you?

Hey, Mom. Hi, sweetie.

Hey, what's she doing here? Who?

Hi, George. Hi, George. Let's go see.

Hi, Mom. Hey. Hungry?

Hi, nice to meet you. PG&E.

Hi. Hi, Erin.

Hi. I'm Erin Brock... I know who you are.

How are you feeling today? Good.

How are you? Good.

How come? I said so, that's why.

How long were you Miss Wichita? One year.

How many plaintiffs do you have? 634.

How many? Usually they require about 70%.

How was school? Fine.

I can't afford to settle down! I'm sorry, Erin.

I do. Thanks, but we have to get back.

I don't believe this. A raise wouldn't hurt.

I don't believe this. Just a little phone.

I don't even know you. What do you wanna know?

I don't need sugar. You don't.

I don't understand why... I don't wanna talk about it now.

I like kids. Right.

I never lied. You said things'd be fine.

I really... This is so... Fine. Go, go, go.

I think I've got cough medicine. Bueno.

I want that. I want that too.

I will. You will.

I'll be seeing you. Thanks, I appreciate you coming over.

I'll make a fresh pot. Thanks.

I'm fine. And you? Very well. Thank you for asking.

I'm gonna need you to sign in here. Oh, sure.

I'm not done with that yet. Well, get it out.

I'm not leaving my kids with you. Why?

I'm sorry, I've just... And so what I'm thinking is...

I'm sorry. I don't need pity.

I've already spent some of my savings. We'll figure it out.

Is it true? No.

It's a complicated issue... I did a job.

It's a good day. Oh, I'm glad.

It's gastrointestinal... Gastrointestinal cancer.

Katie, you back here? Yeah.

Let's settle down. Fuck settle down! I've got $74.

Lovers' quarrel? Bite my ass, Krispy Kreme.

Matt, can I get that coffee to go? Sure thing.

Matthew. All right, fine. Come here, Beth.

May I? Yep. Go ahead.

Morning, Rosalind. How are you?

Next week? I know. But it's good for me.

Nice to see you. I had photos of my kids...

No, Mom. No, sweetie, I'll be right behind you.

No, Your Honour. No, Your Honour.

Nobody's taking anything. Bullshit! You stuck me in Siberia!

Now, we're trusting you here, so... Thanks.

Okay, thank you. Oh, for Pete's sake, here.

Okay. Know how to do that?

Or a cheeseburger? But this mustard is slippery.

Play tomorrow? Yeah.

Relax. Shit! Where did it go?

Remind me. Erin Brockovich.

Scott. Mr. Scott.

See you. All right, see you.

She got sick about nine months ago... Nine months ago.

She insulted me. Bullshit. It was a misunderstanding.

Simple enough. Okay.

So when can I get a friggin' answer? Don't talk to me like that!

So? So!

Sounds good. Thank you. Thanks so much.

Sustained. He hit me!

Ten. Yeah.

Thank you. Nice.

Thank you. Okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Thanks a lot. You're welcome.

Thanks for today... You're welcome.

That means it was... It's on the PG&E property.

That stupid bitch. Mom!

That's a heavy door. Let me give you a hand.

That's okay. We're not suing. Not yet.

The intestine. Right.

The other moms gave permission. I don't care.

The phone might be tapped but... What?

The what? The chromium.

The whole thing's falling apart. Why?

There's no charge. Thanks, Matt.

Those are my files. Yeah. We had them couriered over.

Those people would... These people expect a trial.

Want me to check in every second? It's called accountability.

Want me to check in every second? It's called accountability.

Well, how does it get divided? Yeah, who gets what?

Well, it's poisonous. Yeah.

Well, what about me? What about you?

What is it? A dolly.

What kind of chromium? There's more than one?

What time is it? It's early.

What way is that? Extortion.

What's going on in there? Meeting about the PG&E thing.

What's in here? Baby.

When? Next week.

Who? Charles Embry.

Why are you yelling? I'm pissed.

Why not? Because I said no.

With your worries. What?

Would that be all right with you? Come on back.

Yeah, yeah, sure. You don't mind?

Yeah. I'm fine. Good.

Yes, I understand. Yeah.

You been at this all day? Yeah.

You got a little girl? Yeah.

You need a hand with that? No.

You need a hand with that? No.

You said I was set. I never said that.

You should find something there. County water board.

You told me you weren't feeling great. Bullshit!

You want some coffee? I'd love some.

... and couldn't get it out, but knowing what it was.

... and her cheeks.

... but why would he use that, say that? It's crazy.

... do all the talking. All right?

... of Hinkley, California, who have filed against PG&E.

... that they have no choice but to respond or lose their jobs...

... with her beautiful, soft, chubby little arm...

...455...

...a nice person, a decent citizen.

...about chromium three and how good it is...

...about your medical problems in the first place.

...all of the elements of Annabelle's illnesses.

...and $20,000,000 isn't shit after splitting it.

...and at the rate you mentioned, .58, it could be...

...and demurrers are denied.

...and Ed was losing all faith.

...and find what we need?

...and getting nothing. But I ain't one of them.

...and had a kid too young and blew that.

...and he wants almost half of my reward?

...and he wants me to find all kinds of papers, from all kinds of places.

...and he's got more toxic tort experience than anyone.

...and Hinkley is down here...

...and I don't have to worry about you coming on to me.

...and I got my ass kicked by this guy. He buried me in paper, brutal.

...and I have the big bouquet of flowers.

...and I know more about the plaintiffs than you ever will.

...and I've got it down.

...and no breasts...

...and send you to the warehouse to shred the documents we stored.

...and she pointed

...and then not have it come out right.

...and they know about them.

...and they wanna buy her house for an off ramp.

...and world peace. World peace.

...anywhere between 50 and 400 million.

...as a resident here in Barstow, which is not far from Hinkley...

...asked me what I wanted before walking away?

...asthma, nosebleeds...

...because of what you wear.

...because the judge came back with a number.

...because they won't help you in court.

...before we even broach that subject.

...being born with one kidney and diabetes.

...believing one has nothing to do with the other.

...bigger firms to share some of the cost.

...but don't you want Mommy to be good at her job?

...but if they want this place, they're gonna have to pay for it.

...but it's best if this wasn't discussed with the neighbours.

...but that your clients actually sent these residents...

...but then Donna said that you thought...

...claiming that each cause of action has no merit.

...could've been written in Sanskrit, for all the sense it made.

...dirt's as green as a fucking shamrock.

...doesn't mean she didn't work her ass off in law school.

...due to contamination of the ground water in their area by the defendant.

...everyone's upset about this arbitration thing.

...five miscarriages.

...for every man, woman and child.

...from chronic headaches to respiratory disease, liver failure...

...from the time you learn about the problem to file suit.

...from UCLA. Oh, yeah?

...get these people to trust you, and you're screwing me!

...had it at the plant...

...have some effect on these people's lives.

...he gave me a list of problems that come from hexavalent chromium exposure.

...he's taking a chance too.

...heart failure, reproductive failure, bone or organ deterioration.

...Hinkley, California. 714...

...his Jaguar comes racing around the corner like a bat out of hell.

...I am disturbed by reference...

...I asked him...

...I decided that the figure you proposed...

...I don't have a job now.

...I don't see the point.

...I only had a few weeks left to work on hunger...

...I walk into a room, everybody shuts up to hear what I have to say.

...I wanna talk to you for a minute.

...I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth.

...I wasn't a very good employee.

...if I squeezed back there and poked around myself.

...if that's all right with you?

...in most cases you would line these ponds...

...in San Francisco. What do you mean?

...is because this is a quiet real estate dispute.

...is probably easier at Randy's house. Now cool it.

...is proven reaction to exposure to hexavalent chromium. They have had...

...is.05 parts per million...

...it is the order of this court that each of the 84 motions to strike...

...it wasn't just me.

...it's definitely between 50 and 400,000,000 dollars.

...it's like my body's put together wrong.

...l'm not up to it.

...l'm paraphrasing here, but it says, The water's poisonous...

...l'm saying, the second she pressed the send button...

...my boy got chickenpox, 104 temperature.

...no colon, his intestines were eaten away.

...on numerous occasions.

...or took birth control pills...

...or what your girls need, or your girls' girls. It'll be enough.

...over 30 years, getting clients 10 times that.

...pamphlets telling them that it was good for them.

...PG&E Corporate knew the water was bad there and did nothing about it.

...PG&E could stretch this over 10 years with appeal after appeal.

...PG&E is willing to offer the Jensens $250,000 for their home.

...PG&E's claim department was on the phone to me...

...place for you.

...remember who you're dealing with.

...responsible for the cancers in that family you asked about...

...Robbie Jr., Martha, Ed, Rose and Peter also lived on the plume.

...scheduling a meeting.

...so I'm about $17,000 in debt right now.

...so the shit didn't seep into the ground.

...so we can start on this stuff, and I'll fill her in on the details.

...so you can't get away.

...sounds like they're sitting up and taking notice.

...submitted by representatives of Pacific Gas & Electric.

...taking on a lot more responsibility.

...telling everybody to get new lawyers.

...that binding arbitration is better than a trial...

...that could go on for 10 years before you see any money.

...that figure was not appropriate.

...that he had seen you folks at the hospital.

...that says why, and you haven't said one word about it.

...that she wasn't exactly sure what you had.

...that this is the only way we can go forward at this time.

...that ties San Francisco to Hinkley.

...the Jensens.

...the one that says about the bad chromium...

...there are people in this room who can't afford to wait.

...they don't dream of being rich.

...they'll look good on those beautiful ears.

...things come up at the last minute. Things that I gotta deal with.

...this chromium might be to blame for her problems.

...to bringing an end to world hunger.

...to evidence that suggests that not only was hexavalent chromium used...

...to get you a nice purchase price on your house.

...to stand up in a courtroom and say that.

...toxic levels of hexavalent chromium in those wells...

...until they're copied.

...visual aids, documents and stuff.

...was inappropriate.

...we can't help them, because you just don't wanna work that hard.

...we feel that's a more than fair price.

...we figured it might have something to do with this.

...we file a lawsuit to provoke a reaction.

...we'll be in the clear forever.

...what he makes if I don't get anything.

...what men decide they need.

...what this one judge decides.

...when I'm up to my ass in Kettleman plaintiffs...

...when she gets a call from PG&E, saying a freeway's gonna be built...

...when the symptoms began, prior to the first medical visit.

...when they're using chromium six.

...which looks to be double the amount of Hinkley.

...which, depending on the amounts, can be harmful.

...who watch their girl fight like a dog against cancer.

...why don't you tell me what happened?

...why would they say anything about it to us at all?

...with a statute problem, against a massive utility.

...with Fleuer Engineers in Irvine.

...with that idiot, who cost a lot and smelled like chicken fat.

...with towels soaked from their nosebleeds.

...without worrying that they'll have a hysterectomy at 20.

...you have to trust my...

...you picked out for me. It's great.

...you're still technically a woman?

$16 is what I have in my bank account.

$20,000,000 is more than these people have ever dreamed of.

$250,000 is all I'm authorized to offer.

$250,000 isn't gonna come close to what this family's gonna spend on doctors.

$250,000?
