You want to run that by me again?
We have a group of complaining parents.
They're suing their elementary
school over the Halloween pageant.
In particular...
they don't like the witch.
There are two groups of parents who are upset.
One is Christian.
The other group is, uh...
well...
Yes?
Witches.
Did you say witches?
I said witches.
Which group does the firm represent?
Well, actually, both.
Candy corn?
It's just, though they are
together for the purpose of this motion,
they're not so much together.
And I think having two
lawyers, in case there are conflicts.
Yes, and you think the senior partner
of the firm should be doing this because...
It'll be fun.
Plus, you promised I'd get to try cases with you.
Do you know your briefcase is smoking?
This is the season, Brad.
Bubble, bubble, toil and so forth.
This is a law firm.
Thank you for that.
Mr. Shore. My name is Garrett Wells.
Sounds like an old western town, Garrett Wells.
I'm an associate here.
Yes, you're the one who sleeps with paralegals.
- And this is, uh... - The paralegal.
Can we talk to you for a second?
You are talking.
In private, please?
Let me put this out.
My little brother Jeffrey signed up for the national guard.
He fulfilled his service contract in Iraq.
He was supposed to come home.
The army kept him there under the stop loss program.
There weren't enough soldiers on the ground
so they put him in a position that he never trained for.
It got him killed.
I realize as a matter of law that
the army is immune from these suits.
There is probably no way to win this.
That's why we came to you.
You, um, have a high success
rate for unconventional trials.
That's only because the conventional trials won't have me.
What are you looking to gain from this?
I'm not sure.
I go home and cry every night.
Until I start to scream.
Maybe...
I just want someone to hear my screams.
It promotes a specific religion.
Ah! Shirley Schmidt!
Grace and Bob Mathias.
They're, uh...
The Christians.
And Evelyn and Sam Sawtelle.
- The witches. - Wiccans.
Sorry. Uh, as I understand it, the four of you
want to stop the school celebration of Halloween.
It's satanic.
Uh, that's not the position we're taking.
I mean, we're not allowed to have a Christmas concert
because of the whole church and state thing, but every year...
- At our children's school. - A public school.
Paid for with our taxes.
They have a Halloween pageant.
It's a pageant, is it?
Where not only are images of
witches prominently displayed
But the principal of the school...
Mrs. Berleth...
dresses up like a witch. And she cackles.
- She cackles. - Bloodcurdling cackles.
We find the whole thing horribly offensive.
Because... Ms. Schmidt, as a Wiccan couple,
it's hard enough raising our daughter in this culture
without stereotypical images holding her up for ridicule.
I mean, I ask you, are we green?
- Do we have warts? - And as a Christian couple,
we resent having our faith
marginalized while satan worship is openly...
Witches don't worship satan, Grace.
Promoted.
Specifically.
- It's unfair. - It's defatory.
You can see, while both couples are on the same side,
we have competing claims.
But we're putting our differences aside...
For the greater good...
How could they possibly file papers so thick so fast?
Clearly the government was ready for this very case.
And just as clearly, they want to shut it down fast.
So what happens?
Well, instead of responding in kind,
I plan to ask the judge for an evidentiary hearing.
My feeling is, after listening to you, Cassie,
he'll be less inclined to
just summarily dismiss the claim.
Okay.
It also might help if your parents could be there.
Well, my parents aren't with me on this.
They think I'm dishonoring my
brother's memory and his sacrifice.
Okay. We filed in state court
under the state torts claim act,
and miraculously, a judge agreed to hear us.
The bad news is we drew a peculiar judge.
In 26 years on the bench, I have
never seen a case so ridiculous.
It nauseates me.
Your honor is being a little dramatic.
He was a solider in a war. What's more, he enlisted.
Private Elliot's tour of duty was
over. He should not have been in Iraq.
He enlisted in part because
he was fraudulently recruited.
Moreover, the army then put him in
a job for which he was not trained
And which resulted in his death.
Move to dismiss.
The United states army is immune from this sort...
Not to claims based on fraud,
Which this is.
What if the families of every
solider killed in combat decided to sue?
We'd have a logistical nightmare.
Fortunately, we're only
dealing with one person suing here,
and if you're predisposed to kick it, so be it.
But at least take an hour to hear from
a couple of witnesses before doing so.
You have a legacy of
unfettered fairness, your honor.
Please do not tarnish it.
You pay the court costs.
2 o'clock.
He actually got a hearing?
- Don't ask me how. - Well, what did he say?
Don't you two have anything else to do?
Um, we're discussing a case, sir.
It's not a case. It's an
abuse of the judicial process.
- Yes, we're discussing that. - Go shine your shoes.
- I beg your pardon? - You heard me.
Shine your shoes now.
- And how's your grooming? - I think fine... sir.
Go to work.
It's fun to pull rank, isn't it?
What you are doing
is an arrogant dismissal of that
young soldier's ultimate sacrifice.
And as somebody who served in the Gulf war, proudly,
when you disrespect our soldiers,
you disrespect me. I don't like it.
Is it true?
You're criticizing the war?
Constructive criticism.
What?
Alan, I've loved you like a...
Sister.
We're Americans. To be critical in a time of war.
Even the Democrats are smart
enough to keep their mouth shut on this.
Edward R. Murrow said we should
never confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow is media.
And he's dead. Dead don't count.
The dead do count, Denny, which
is why we're bringing this lawsuit.
Drop the case. Do it now.
I'm not dropping it, Denny.
Alan?
I'm senior partner.
I'm asking you, check that, I'm directing you.
- Drop it. - No.
I'll boil you whole and
suck the skin from your bones!
Or something like that.
Mr. Mathias, is this an accurate depiction
of principal Berleth's
behavior during the Halloween pageant?
Yes, except she does sort of a... swoop.
Could we see the swoop, please?
Uh, your honor, just...
Your honor...
Your honor, the defense
stipulates she's scary as all get out.
Mrs. Berleth, you may be seated.
The court thanks you for the riveting demonstration.
Why is Mrs. Berleth's
performance so harmful to your children?
I mean, it's just Halloween.
And that's what we hear daily.
"It's just a movie. " "It's just a video game. "
"It's just the super bowl halftime show. "
But she's not just a witch to you, is she?
No, and I should be able to protect my children
from things I deem harmful.
Trying to raise my kids to have
strong Christian values in today's world
is hard enough without the head of the school
dressing up like a servant of satan.
It's bad enough my 7- year-old knows all about
bitches, pimps and hos from "grand theft auto".
Michael Jackson and child
molestation are now words in his vernacular.
My sixth grade daughter has
classmates who will, excuse me,
perform oral sex for a dollar.
Now all of this is learned at school.
This is why we're so livid.
This is why so many of us are homeschooling,
but I don't want to have to do that.
Public school is just that. It's our school, too.
And satan shouldn't be there.
The national guard said
they'd pay his tuition for college.
He was also told that he'd be safe.
Safe?
He was gonna be a cannon loader,
not one of the guys on the streets.
They promised. When he was reassigned,
doing the job of an MP, guarding a convoy truck,
he made a joke that he should've just joined the Boston PD.
If he was gonna travel halfway
around the world to become a cop.
Cassie, what happened on September 2nd of this year?
Jeff's convoy was pulling through a town called Iskandariyah.
They nearly ran over an IED.
It's an improvised explosive device.
A bomb.
They had to disarm it before the convoy could go on.
Jeff didn't have any training
in disarming homemade bombs.
But it had to be done, and no one else had a clue.
He was always like that.
You know, he...
was always one you could count on.
He just never should have been there!
Okay.
But, Cassie, he did enlist.
You sign up for the military,
you have to assume the risk of going to war.
His tour of duty was up.
Plus he died doing something he was never trained for.
He didn't assume that risk.
Nothing further.
Mr. Randolph?
I have nothing for Ms. Elliot
except to thank her family
for the sacrifice that they've made
during this difficult struggle for freedom.
Thank you.
Hi. Did we have a meeting scheduled?
Denise, we have some concerns about our case.
Okay. Well, please.
We don't want to make trouble,
but the Christians keep bringing up satanism,
which completely misrepresents
what our religion is about.
We're worried that the Wiccan
side isn't being represented fairly,
I mean, we're a recognized religion
with hundreds of thousands of followers.
We're just looking for balance.
Well, your side is up next,
and you'll be able to state your position fully.
I promise.
Thank you. That's all we ask.
Yeah.
Should we say something?
What?
- Um, Denise... - Uh, we don't know you very well.
Wiccans care about spreading goodwill
and restoring the natural balance of the world.
And from you, well, we're feeling
a quiet, screaming disharmony.
Come again?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that you're recently divorced.
How did you know that?
You have a tan line from your ring.
We can help. It's what we do.
I appreciate your concern, but I'm completely...
harmonic.
- Okay. - Okay.
This case is going great.
You did excellent today.
Yeah, whatever that means. It's...
so...
so I'm just gonna...
I don't want to have sex with you anymore.
Yeah.
Well, as it turns out, as my client,
I'm not supposed to have sex with you anyway.
So there we are.
There we are.
I'm trying on my Halloween costume.
What are your thoughts?
I prefer to be alone. Please leave.
- Why? - No reason.
If you were to guess at a reason...
If I were to guess,
I'd say maybe I don't want to socialize
with a pinko liberal Democrat commie.
You may think it's patriotic to dissent,
and maybe it is, sometimes.
But to sue the army in a
time of war is not patriotic.
It borders on treason. And I'm disgusted with you.
And just so you know, most of
the Democrats voted for this war.
John Kerry voted for it.
Hillary Clinton voted for it.
And now suddenly it becomes unpopular,
say what you will about Republicans,
we stick to our convictions,
even when we know we're dead wrong.
Some might say especially then.
It's not funny, Alan.
I can't look at you right now.
I don't know how you could miss me.
This is how I feel. I don't want to be in your company.
On the ground, there's separate rules
for national guards and active duty soldiers.
How do you mean?
Well, guardsmen have to write
home for essential supplies,
little things like flashlights, batteries,
to major stuff like body armor.
You weren't given proper body armor?
None of us were.
Now you were trained as a medic.
Yes, sir. And when I got there
they had me doing MP duty
because there was no one left to do it.
Before I knew it, I was guarding convoys.
With private Elliot?
It happened to a lot of us.
There just aren't enough guys over there.
Corporal, based on what your recruiter told you,
is this what you expected when
you signed up for the national guard?
No, sir. No. I wanted to go into the medical field.
My recruiter told me that the
government would pay for my medical school,
and that in Iraq I'd be a medic, never see combat.
Why are you home now?
I was shot.
Thank you, corporal.
You were a soldier in a war.
I was told that I would never see combat.
Is it your testimony that you
were never trained in combat?
That's not my testimony.
And, corporal, before you joined the national guard,
you were roughly $6,000 in debt.
Yes.
And the government gave you a hefty signing bonus,
which you used to pay off that debt.
Yes, sir.
And now that you're back at home,
going to college at nighttuition-free and have a good job,
both of which the government facilitated
based on your training in the national guard.
- Yes, sir. - And your testimony is
that the government didn't keep its promises to you.
That is not my testimony.
It's actually a good thing
that they're calling a witness
and that the judge wants to hear from their side.
It means we've...
made an impression.
- What's this? - My Halloween costume.
We were gonna be flamingos together.
I decided to be a hunter. Leave.
Hunters shoot flamingos.
Could you excuse us, please?
Denny, whether or not one agrees with the war...
I don't want to talk about it.
Why is that? Why does no one want to talk about it?
Why can't friends even discuss it?
Because you're either with us or against us,
and I don't want to talk to people who are against us.
Wicca is a way to reconnect.
In our modern, mechanized world,
people have lost touch with nature,
and Wicca teaches us that
God is in all living things.
What about magic?
The only spells we cast are positive ones.
We believe in the law of three.
Whatever energy you put out in the
world will return to you threefold.
So we promote goodwill, not hexes.
Tell us why you want Mrs. Berleth to end her witch act.
The stereotype, the wicked witch.
My daughter comes home at least once a week crying
because the kids in school torment her
and say she worships the devil.
You don't worship satan, do you, Evelyn?
Wicca has no concept of satan.
The devil and fire and brimstone, hell.
That stuff was dreamed up by Christians.
"Dreamed up"?
Now you said Wicca is an ancient belief.
Yes.
But I'm confused.
Wasn't Wicca made up in England in the 1950s?
It wasn't made up.
It came about after England finally repealed
the last of its witchcraft laws in 1951.
But it's simply a modern
version of an old belief system.
Witchcraft laws?
Laws created in England and Europe
during what are called the burning times.
It started in about 1480 and
went on for hundreds of years.
Tens of thousands of innocent
people were burned at the stake
- Because of these laws. - Burned by whom?
Well, the Christians.
You said you'd leave out the attacks.
- She didn't attack you. - Sam, Bob, please.
They're making a mockery of our religion.
I did no such thing,
What?
This is why we came to you.
This is what we were talking about.
Wait a second.
You saw Denise behind our backs?
It wasn't behind your back.
Oh, so then you're a hypocrite.
Hey, hey, hey.
I didn't know I was dealing with a hypocrite, that's all.
Hey!
Don't push me.
Well, what are you gonna do, turn me into a toad?
- All right! - We don't do hexes!
We throw punches occasionally.
All right, that's enough.
I think I know where you can put your broomstick.
I told private Elliot exactly what
he'd be getting into when he signed up.
I answered all of his questions.
Did you ever lie or mislead private Elliot
when he came into your recruitment office?
No, sir.
We went over his service contract
together, and explained each provision completely.
I may have emphasized the positive,
but I never lied to him.
You told private Elliot that he'd be
doing things other than cannon loading?
Of course. I explained all the contingencies to him.
I told him the same thing I tell all recruits.
Really?
This man Mr. Dewey, seated in the second row,
went to your recruiting office yesterday at our direction.
Do you remember speaking with him, sir?
Objection!
Mr. Shore? What are you doing here.
impeachment, your honor.
Sergeant Hendler articulated that he
tells the same thing to all recruits.
Mr. Dewey is one of those all.
I will allow it.
But I have my eye on you.
Again, sergeant,
do you remember having a conversation with this young man?
- Vaguely. - Vaguely?
You told him the national guard
could train him in sound mixing.
We offer a wide spectrum of training possibilities.
Isn't it a fact that you never told
Mr. Dewey he'd have to do anything else?
You also told him he'd probably never see combat.
I believe my words were
"hopefully, he'd never see combat".
And if Mr. Dewey says he
never heard the word "hopefully,"
would he be lying or mistaken?
Because he's willing to take a polygraph.
- Objection. - Sustained.
You also mentioned to him something
about a "Try one" program.
What's that?
Try one is a 1-year trial program.
If you sign up, and you aren't happy
at the end of your 1-year contract,
then you can leave without
officially enlisting in the national guard.
And that's what private Elliot
signed up for, correct?
Yes, sir.
See, this is what confuses me.
Private Elliot served out his year,
fulfilled his contract and clearly wasn't happy.
Why didn't he just come home?
Private Elliot was kept in
Iraq under the stop loss program.
In case you haven't noticed, we're at war.
Yes.
Tell me, sergeant, under this stop loss program,
how much longer had the military planned
to keep private Elliot in the service?
Private Elliot's obligation was extended to 2031.
26 years.
Did you tell either Mr. Elliot or
Mr. Dewey about these contingencies?
We're at war, Mr. Shore.
We need soldiers.
Yes. According to our generals and military advisors,
we need a lot more than the 140,000 currently over there.
Why are we not sending more?
Are we trying to win this war or not, sergeant?
Your honor, this is clearly a
stunt. He orchestrated this.
These are the children who will be affected.
That doesn't mean you parade them around like exhibits.
Counsel, this has already taken up enough time.
Let's just get through this. Step back.
Halloween is a secular holiday
and as you can see, a fun one.
Now the witch at the center of this
case, played with gusto by Mrs. Berleth,
is not a symbol of satanism
and in no way defames the religion of the Wiccans.
The whole pageant, indeed, all of
Halloween everywhere is just make-believe.
And to claim that this somehow
rises to the level of persecution
is not only laughable but offensive.
Persecution is an issue,
which, to be perfectly frank,
neither of these suburban parents
nor their high-priced attorneys know anything about.
And it's insulting to
groups who have been persecuted
to raise that issue at this time in this case.
The First Amendment says we
shouldn't discriminate against any group
on the basis of region. It's a nice theory.
But the truth is the law is rarely
applied to protect the Christian faith,
because being in the majority,
well, I guess we feel they can take it.
And if the religion is too far out there,
Chriristian scientists? Sure.
Scientologists? Maybe.
Wiccans? Well, at what point
does a religion become silly enough
that it's okay to make fun of them?
And who decides?
What this case is really about is tolerance.
Whether it's Hindus attacking
Jews or Muslims against Catholics,
Christians fighting with Wiccans,
the aim of the law is tolerance.
And I could be wrong but,
I don't think we ever ratified
persecution under the heading of "fun".
Let me read you something by Martin Niemoeller,
a German pastor who opposed the Nazis.
"In Germany, they came first for the communists,"
"and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.
"Then they came for the Jews,"
"and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew".
"Then they came for the trade unionists,"
"and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a trade unionist".
"Then they came for the Catholics,
"and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant".
"Then they came for me,"
"and by that time, there
was no one left to speak up".
In war, any war, there are casualties.
For the family of a victim
to sue the army for such a
casualty is not only patently ridiculous,
it's an insult.
First, it offends the memory
of the soldier who gave his life
to defend his country.
Worse, it's an attack on patriotism and the U.S. army itself.
He enlisted. He was trained in combat.
He assumed the risks of combat.
This lawsuit merely represents a flamboyant attempt
to showcase antiwar sentiment. It is wrong. It is baseless.
And it's an affront to every soldier, to every veteran
who has put himself on the line to
defend the United states of America.
Especially, primarily, the ones
who have given their lives to do so.
First, this is hardly about antiwar sentiments.
Private Elliot was for the war.
Personally, I was against it. Then I was for it.
Then I was against it again. But that's just me.
I'm a flip-flopper.
But whether one is for or against the occupation,
and let's assume, judging from your tie, one is,
that does not exempt the military from
a duty to be honest with its soldiers.
Private Elliot was told he'd serve a year.
He was told he wouldn't see combat.
Okay, unexpected stuff happens.
He did see combat. Fine.
But he was sent into combat with insufficient backup.
He was sent in to perform duties
for which he was never, ever trained.
He wasn't given the most basic of equipment.
And then after his tour of duty was finally up,
they wouldn't let him leave.
He never assumed those risks by enlisting.
Over-extended, under-equipped,
non-trained. He never signed up for that.
And now he's dead.
And aside from his sister, nobody seems to care.
We talk about honoring the troops.
How about we honor them by
giving a damn when they're killed?
Our kids are dying over there.
And this country, the people, the media,
we all chug along like nothing is wrong.
We'll spend a month obsessing about Terry Schiavo,
but dare we show a body of a fallen soldier?
The most watched cable news station
will spend an hour a night
on a missing girl in Aruba.
But God forbid we pay any attention
when kids like private Elliot, killed in action...
- You're off the point. - I'm not off the point.
We've had 2,000 American trees
fall in that forest over there,
and we don't even know it, not really.
But maybe we don't want to know
about our children dying.
So lucky for us, this war isn't really being televised.
We're not seeing images of soldiers
dying in the arms of their comrades,
being blown apart in the streets of Baghdad.
But they are by the thousands.
And all the American public wants to concern itself with
is whether Brad and Angelina really are a couple.
At least with Vietnam, we all watched, and we all got angry.
What does this have to do with the death of private Elliot?
Private Elliot is dead, in part,
because we have a people and a government in denial.
We currently have no strategy to fight this war.
We have no timetable for getting out.
Some of these troops could be extended 20-plus years.
Their mothers and fathers have to spring for body armor
because the army doesn't, and they're getting killed!
And we, as a nation in denial, are letting them.
We simply don't seem to care. Well, she does.
She's in this courtroom honoring one dead soldier.
That's a start.
We're dealing here with a pageant in a public school.
A public school can't promote the exercise of any religion,
and it can't denigrate the followers of any religion.
No one should take that lightly. And indeed,
Christians, witches and other groups
have been persecuted over the years,
and no one should take persecution lightly.
But...
we should take Halloween lightly.
As the defense pointed out,
Halloween is a secular holiday.
But more importantly, it's a silly holiday.
Children don't see a witch as a symbol of any sort.
A witch is just something to enjoy being afraid of.
Motion by the plaintiffs is denied.
The Halloween pageant will go on as it always has.
And I advise both parties to lighten up
and remember what Halloween really is all about.
The candy. Court adjourned.
- Sorry. - Oh, it's okay.
- We forgive you. - I thought you might.
- Thank you both. - Bye.
- I'm sorry. - Thank you.
Listen, tonight's Samhain,
that's what we call Halloween.
There's a women's circle after the celebration.
It's a full moon.
It's the perfect time for letting the
energy of the goddess heal and restore you.
You need it. I'll fax you directions.
Thank you so much.
Do I strike you as being out of harmony?
All rise!
This war is a disaster.
It has been sold to America on a false premise.
The government has been repeatedly told
by its most senior military advisors that it needs far more troops.
The advisors have been ignored or in some cases even fired,
and now we have what very much looks
like the beginning of another Vietnam,
except, as Mr. Shore points out,
without the necessary outrage.
That said, like it or not, we are at war.
And the one thing that keeps the
military functioning in war is its hierarchy.
Orders are given, orders followed.
That's why congress has granted the
military immunity in lawsuits like this.
Miss Elliot, I have the deepest
sympathy for you and for your brother.
However...
I rule in favor of the government.
The motion to dismiss is granted.
I hope at least somebody heard your screams.
If not, then maybe they heard yours. Thank you.
Well... Bye.
- Why? - I'm sorry?
Why does it have to be good-bye?
We lost, if it's any consolation.
It isn't.
Anybody who truly loves this country, Denny,
must at least try to
understand the awful truth over there.
One of the reasons it's happening over there
Is so it won't happen here.
I'm afraid I don't agree with you, Denny.
But if Americans can continue to
nurture the expression of differing opinions,
what's happening over there will never happen here.
I don't, I don't think
people recognize our costumes.
Maybe we should use the accents.
I give you my word. I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
I just wanted to feel... hot.
Tried it on.
Looked good. Kept it on.
- Doesn't mean I forgive you. - Got it.
Denny? You look pretty in pink.
- Not having sex with you. - Just the same.
What exactly is our costume again?
It's, um,
"I look good in white tails".
Ah. Right.
Thank you. Did I say that?
To Alan Shore you did.
- Nothing for you? - No.
What are you thinking about?
It's not a trick question.
Can I have a solitary, pensive moment,
keep a thought to myself?
You forgot what you were thinking.
I don't presume to know whether
this is a good war or not, Denny.
But there can be no dispute it's a complex one,
one that we as a citizenry, as patriots,
need to be talking about.
Here's all you need to know, put me in charge.
- I'll win the damn thing. - No doubt.
Do you think the army
would let two flamingos enlist?
Don't ask, don't tell.
Most of the Cranes in my family were flamingos.
Indeed.

泡泡 泡泡 圈套 茶煲... (這句話Alan篡改自莎士比亞的詩歌"女巫之鍋")
這裏是律師事務所
謝謝你提醒我
Shore先生 我是Garrett Wells
聽起來像是一個古老的西方小鎮 Garrett Wells
我是這裏的助理律師
我知道 你就是和律師助手上床的那個
- 這位是 呃... - 我就是那個律師助手
我們能談談嗎?
我聽著呢
私下談談 行嗎?
讓我先把這個處理掉
我的弟弟Jeffrey曾服役于國民警衛隊
他很好地在伊拉克完成了他的使命
他原本是就要回來的
軍方根據"停止減員"程式 把他留在那兒 ("stop-loss"指用延長服役時間的方式來 阻止軍人退役以減少非戰鬥減員)
因為那裏沒有足夠的士兵
因此他們把他安排到一個他從來 沒有接受過相關培訓的職位上
導致他被殺害
我知道軍方對這種訴訟
具有豁免權
因此幾乎沒有可能可以打贏這場官司
所以我們來尋求你的幫助
你十分善於使用非常規
手段來贏得官司
那是因為總是沒人找我打常規的官司
你想在這場官司中獲得什麼?
我不太清楚
我每晚回家都在哭
直到我開始尖叫
也許...
我只是想讓別人聽見我的吶喊
這是在宣揚邪教
啊! Shirley Schmidt!
這是Grace 和 Bob Mathias
他們是 呃...
基督徒
而這是 Evelyn 和 Sam Sawtelle
- 女巫 - 巫師
抱歉 呃 據我所知 你們四個想要
阻止學校的萬聖節慶典
那是魔鬼的慶典
呃 我們不贊同這個說法
我的意思是 他們從不允許舉行聖誕音樂會
理由是要什麼政教分離之類的 但是每年...
- 在我們孩子的學校 - 公立學校
用我們納稅人的錢建立的學校
他們可以舉辦萬聖節慶典
只是慶典對吧?
那為什麼除了
到處都掛滿了女巫的肖像之外
連學校的校長...
Berleth夫人...
都要穿得像個女巫 還要在那尖笑
- 她在尖笑 - 令人毛骨悚然
我們同樣不能忍受這整件事
因為... Schmidt女士 作為一對巫師夫婦
在外界文化的影響下 我們本來就很難和女兒溝通
加上這種對巫朮的錯誤渲染 只會讓她覺得我們很可笑
我的意思是 我問你 我們是小綠人嗎?
- 我們身上有瘤嗎? - 同樣 作為一對基督徒夫婦
我們極不願見到我們的信仰被
排擠的同時拜魔教卻可以公開地...
巫朮並不崇拜魔鬼 Grace
你們在宣揚它
換種方式罷了
- 這不公平 - 這是誤導
你看 他們還是有共同點的
雖然主張不盡相同
但是我們可以暫時把爭議放在一邊...
先解決主要矛盾...
他們怎麼能夠那麼快准備了那麼多資料?
很明顯政府對這種事已經有所預料
而且他們顯然想要盡快解決我們
那我們怎麼辦?
既然這樣 與其迎合他們
我准備去要求法官舉行一場聽証會
我想 當他聽了你的陳詞 Cassie
他可能不會那麼草率地
撤銷這個案件
好吧
同時 如果你的家長也在場的話會更好
可惜我的家長並不同意我的意見
他們認為我弟弟為國捐軀
的光榮事跡會因此蒙羞
好吧 我們已經以國家侵權行為
作為主題向州立法院起訴
很幸運地 有一位法官同意聽証
但是不幸的是 這位法官很特別
我當了26年的法官
還從來沒見過那麼可笑的案子
它簡直讓我作嘔
閣下說話真風趣
他是一名士兵 而且 他正在服役
二等兵Elliot 的服役期已經結束了
他不應該繼續呆在伊拉克
他仍呆在那裏的原因是
他被蒙騙了
而且 軍方隨後安排他做一樣
他從來沒有接受過培訓的任務
結果導致了他的死亡
請撤銷此案
美國軍方對這類型的案件有豁免...
但是豁免權不包括欺騙別人從軍
正如此案
如果每個烈士家屬
都決定要起訴的話
我們將會面臨極大的問題
幸好我們目前只有
一起訴訟案
如果您要駁回此案 您大可以這麼做
但是至少在那之前 給我們的証人
一點點時間進行陳詞
閣下您素來有
公平公正的美譽
我相信您會做出正確的判斷的
費用你出
2點整
他真的爭取到了聽証?
- 別問我怎麼辦到的 - 那他怎麼說的?
你們倆沒有其他事可做了嗎?
呃 我們正在討論一個案子
那才不能叫一個案子
那簡直就是對整個司法系統的侮辱
- 是的 我們就是在說這個 - 去把你的鞋子擦幹淨
- 你說什麼? - 你聽得沒錯
現在就去把你的鞋子擦幹淨
- 那你覺得你的儀表怎麼樣? - 我想應該很整潔...先生
去工作吧
好大的官威啊
你的所作所為
是對那名年輕士兵偉大的犧牲的
的極度蔑視
而作為一名曾為參與海灣戰爭而自豪的人
當你不尊重我們的士兵時
就是在不尊重我 我對此很反感
是真的嗎?
你在批評戰爭?
提出善意的建議
怎麼了?
Alan 我待你如同...
姐妹
我們是美國人 在戰時批評戰事
就算是民主黨人在這個時候
也都聰明地閉上他們的嘴巴
Edward R. Murrow 曾說過 (Murrow 為CBS知名新聞主播
我們不可以將反對的聲音視作背叛 他在50年代以反對麥卡錫主義而聞名)
Edward R. Murrow 是賣新聞的
而且他已經死了 死了的不算數
死者不能被忽視
因此我們才進行這場控訴
撤銷這個案子 馬上
我不能這樣做 Denny
Alan?
我是高級合夥人
我現在讓你 聽清楚 我命令你
- 撤訴 - 不行
我要把你烹了
吃了你的骨頭!
或者類似這樣的話
Mathias先生 剛才Berleth 校長所做的示範
是否就和她在復活節上
所做的表演相符?
是的 除此之外還有些張牙舞爪的動作
我們能看看那些動作嗎?
呃 法官閣下...
法官閣下...
法官閣下
被告稍微增加了點戲劇效果
Berleth女士 你可以坐下了
謝謝你生動的演示
為什麼你認為Berleth女士的表演
會讓你的孩子受到傷害?
我是說 只是復活節遊戲而已
我們在日常生活中也會說
"只是電影而已 " "只是電視遊戲而已"
"只是超級碗的半場表演而已" (暗指樂壇天後珍妮-傑克遜的露乳事件)
但是你來說 她不僅只是一個女巫?
不 因此我必須保護我的孩子
受到從中傷害
我從小就嘗試把我的孩子培養成
虔誠的基督教信徒
就算一校之長沒有打扮成一個魔鬼的僕人
這在當今社會風氣的影響下也已經夠難的了
我7歲的兒子老是把遊戲中的
妓女 皮條客 種馬這種詞匯掛在嘴邊
麥克爾-傑克遜的狎童案
讓他們津津樂道
我還在上6年級的女兒
在學校中的同學
會為了1美元而提供口交服務
這些都是他們在學校裏學到的
所以我們才那麼的憤怒
正因此我們當中的許多人才讓孩子在家自學
但是我不想這麼做
公立學校 顧名思義 就是大家的學校
撒旦不應該出現在這裏
國民警衛隊告訴他
他們會為他提供上大學的獎學金
同時也說他會很安全
安全?
他本來是負責裝載炮彈的
不是在街上巡邏警戒
他們曾保証 如果他留下來繼續服役
他們會安排他到憲兵隊 負責看守押運車
他曾說過一個笑話 如果他想要當個員警
直接加入波士頓警局就可以了
何必在地球上兜一個大圈
Cassie 在今年的九月二日發生了什麼事
Jeff看管的押運車正經過一個 叫Iskandariyah的小鎮
他們差點碾過一個IED
那是一個簡易爆炸裝置
一個炸彈
要繼續前進的話他們必須要拆除它
Jeff 沒有受過任何
拆彈訓練
但是炸彈必須被拆除 而沒有人知道該怎麼做
他總是一個
你明白 他是...
他總是一個能夠信任的人
他只是根本不應該在那兒!
謝謝
但是 Cassie 他正在服役
既然你同意他應征入伍
你就應該知道戰爭總是存在風險
他已經盡到了他的職責
但是他從來沒有接受過拆彈訓練
他根本預料過這種風險
我問完了
Randolph先生?
我沒有什麼要問的了
我只是想對Elliot小姐和她的家庭
為我們這場堅苦卓越的戰爭
所做出的貢獻表示崇高的敬意
Thank you.
你們好 我們原本計劃碰面的嗎?
Denise 我們對案子有些看法
好的 那麼 請說
我們不想惹麻煩
但是那些基督徒不斷地稱我們為撒旦的信徒
這完全曲解了我們的信仰
的真正意義
我們擔心我們的利益
會受到損害
我的意思是 我們是公認的合法的宗教團體
有著成千上萬的信徒
我們只是要求公平對待
下次輪到你們發言
你們可以自由地闡述你們的立場
我保証
謝謝你 這正是我們想要的
對啊
我們該不該說?
什麼?
- 呃 Denise... - 呃 我們和你不是很熟
巫朮主張施善
和回復宇宙間的自然平衡
而我們從你身上
感覺到一種不和諧的現象
再說一次?
也許這和你最近剛離婚有點關系
你們怎麼知道的?
你的手指上還留著戒指的痕跡
我們可以幫你 我們有這個能力
我很感激你們對我的關心 但是我很...
和諧
- 好吧 - 好吧
案子進行的不錯
你今天的表現很好
嗯 無論怎麼說都好...
那麼...
我要說的是...
我不想再和你上床了
好吧
也對 作為我的委託人
我不應該和你發生關系的
那我們到此為止吧
到此為止
我正在試穿我的萬聖節衣服
你覺得怎麼樣?
我想一個人呆著 請出去
- 為什麼? - 不為什麼
如果硬要說一個原因...
如果硬要說原因
我會說我不想對一個
左傾民主黨人須臾奉承
你也許會認為這是 愛之深責之切
有時候也許是的
但是在戰時起訴軍隊
絕對不是愛國行為
那是叛國 我對你很失望
而且你要知道
大部分的民主黨人也投了贊成票
克裏投了贊成票
希拉蕊也投了贊成票
現在情況突然變了
你說我們共和黨人會怎麼做
我們會一直堅守原則
就算我們知道我們完全是錯的
有些甚至屢錯屢戰
一點都不好笑 Alan
我現在不想看到你
那你會想我的
我現在的想法是 我不想和你呆在一間公司裏
在戰地上 警衛隊和
當值士兵有著不同的職責
你指的是什麼?
警衛隊的職責是向總部申請
物質支援
包括從手電筒 電池
到防彈衣的一切物質支援
你們沒有裝備防彈衣?
我們都沒有
你所接受的是醫護培訓
是的 但是當我到了那裏
他們要求我做屬於憲兵隊的工作
因為他們缺乏人手
在我瞭解到發生什麼事之前 我正在看守押運車
和二等兵Elliot一起?
這種事時有發生
因為那兒總是不夠人手
下士 當你應征加入國民警衛隊時
徵兵處工作人員對你說的
和你在戰場上遇到的情況一致嗎?
不一致 我本來要去的是戰地醫院
工作人員對我說
政府會支付我上醫學院的費用
而我在伊拉克是作為一名醫護人員 不用參與戰鬥
為什麼你退伍了?
我中槍了
謝謝你 下士
你是戰場上的一名士兵
我被告知我不用參與戰鬥
你的証詞說你從來
沒有受過戰鬥訓練?
我沒有那麼說
那麼 下士 在你加入國民警衛隊之前
你欠下了6千美元的債務
是的
而政府給了你一大筆獎金
使你可以償還那筆債務
是的 長官
現在你回國了
免費讀書並且找到一份好工作
這都是政府根據你在國民警衛隊中
受過的訓練提供給你的
- 是的 長官 - 而你在証詞中說
政府沒有兌現對你的承諾
我沒有這樣說
他們要傳召証人
而且法官想聽聽他們的看法
這是一件好事
這意味著我們...
有了進展
- 這是什麼? - 我的萬聖節服裝
我們不是說好一起扮火烈鳥的嗎?
我現在決定要做一個獵人 請離開
可是獵人會射火烈鳥...
請讓我們單獨談談
Denny 無論贊不贊成戰爭...
我不想談這些
為什麼? 為什麼沒有人願意談這些?
為什麼朋友間不能討論一下?
因為你要不贊成我們 要不反對我們
而我不想和反對我們的人討論這個問題
巫朮是一種自我治療的方式
在我們這個高度現代化的社會
人類與自然越行越遠
而巫朮告訴我們
神存在於萬物之中
那所謂的魔法呢?
我們只會釋放帶有正面效果的魔法
我們遵循"三倍法則"
你對他人所做所為 不論好壞
最後都會以三倍相同的效果還施到你自己身上
所以我們提倡行善嫉惡
告訴我們你為什麼要Berleth女士停止扮演女巫
因為她扮演的是一個刻板邪惡的女巫形象
我的女兒每個星期至少有一天是哭著回家的
因為學校裏的孩子嘲笑她
說她是魔鬼的仆從
你們並不信奉撒旦?
巫朮中根本就沒有撒旦的概念
也沒有魔鬼 劫火 硫磺 地獄
這些東西都是基督徒憑空幻想出來的
"憑空幻想"?
你說巫朮是一種古老的信仰
是的
但是我有些困惑
巫朮不是於19世紀50年代 在英格蘭製造出來的麼?
它並不是製造出來的
它出現在1951年
在英國廢除了最後一部巫朮法案之後
但它可是看作是一種古老信仰
的現代版本
巫朮法案?
巫朮法案源于英國和歐洲地區
在火刑時期產生 (一個大規模用火燒死女巫的時期)
始於1480年前後
持續了數百年
數以萬計的無辜民眾
被燒死在火刑架上
- 基於這些法案 - 被什麼人燒死?
基督教徒
你說好我們不攻擊對方的
- 她沒有攻擊你 - Sam Bob 別說了
他們在嘲笑我們的信仰
我沒有做這樣的事
什麼?
這就是為什麼我們來找你
這也就是我們擔心的事情
等等
你背著我們和Denise 見面?
我們沒有做什麼見不得人的事
噢 原來你們都是小人啊
好了 好了
我現在才知道原來我一直在和小人共事
夠了!
別碰我
你能怎麼樣？把我變成癩蛤蟆?
- 夠了! - 我們不需要用魔法!
對付你拳頭就夠了
好了 夠了
我想我知道你把掃帚藏哪了 (──b) (歷史上女巫常被誣蔑成邪惡淫蕩的人)
在二等兵Elliot應征當天我清楚地告訴過他
他會面臨的各種情況
我回答了他提出的所有問題
當他走進你的徵兵辦公室後
你是否曾經欺騙或是誤導過他?
沒有 先生
我們一起審閱了合同
而且把合同上的條款逐條的解釋給他聽
我也許強調過參軍的好處
但是絕對沒有半句謊言
你是否曾告知二等兵Elliot 除了裝載炮彈外
他可能會做另外的一些工作?
當然 我向他解釋了可能會發生的各種情況
我對他說了對每個來應征的人 都說的同樣的話
真的嗎?
這位坐在第二行的Dewey先生
昨天在我們的指導下去了你的徵兵辦公室
你記得和他說過話嗎?
反對!
Shore先生? 你在幹什麼
提出疑問 法官閣下
Hendler軍士 很明確地說
他對每個來應征的人都說同樣的話
Dewey先生是其中之一
反對無效
但是別玩什麼花樣
那麼軍士 我再問一遍
你記得和他說過話嗎?
- 有點印象? - 有點印象?
你告訴他國民警衛隊將會為他
提供關於混音的培訓
我們提供很多技能培訓課程
事實上 你並沒有告訴Dewey先生
他需要做其他工作
你同時也告知他 他將不會參與戰鬥
我想我的話應該是
"希望他將不會參與戰鬥"
那麼如果Dewey先生說
他從來沒有聽見"希望"這個詞
會是他在撒謊或者弄錯了嗎?
他願意接受說謊測試
- 反對 - 反對有效
你同時也想他提到了一項
"體驗一年"計劃
那是什麼?
那是指一年為期的體驗項目
如果你參與這個項目 而在你一年役期結束後
你並不滿意
你可以隨時離開
不再列入國防警衛隊的編制當中
而二等兵 Elliot
參加了這個項目 對嗎?
是的
看 這就是我不明白的地方
二等兵Elliot 服完了他的役期
履行了他的合同義務 而且很明顯他不滿意
為什麼他不能回家了事?
根據"停止減員"程式
他被留在伊拉克
我不得不提醒你 我們正處於戰爭時期
是的
告訴我 軍士 根據這個"停止減員"程式
二等兵Elliot 還需要再
服多長時間的兵役?
二等兵Elliot的役期延長到2031年
共26年
你是否告知Elliot先生或者
Dewey先生會發生這種情況?
我們現在處於戰爭當中 Shore先生
我們需要士兵
沒錯 根據我們的軍事顧問的資料
我們還需要在那兒投放超過14萬的士兵
為什麼我們不繼續派兵呢?
我們到底想不想要打贏這場戰爭 軍士?
法官閣下 這完全是噱頭
他編排了這一場戲
他們和這個案子有著莫大的關系
那也不意味著你要把他們都帶來 像開展覽會一樣
辯護律師 這個案子已經佔用了許多時間
讓我們將它處理了吧 請歸位
萬聖節是一個傳統節日
而且如你所見 亦是一個有趣的節日
這個案子的被告
由Berleth女士飾演的女巫
並不是魔鬼的象徵
也沒有損害到巫師的宗教形象
整個萬聖節慶典 事實上
萬聖節的所有東西都是虛構的
因此 說這是所謂的
對信仰的冒犯
不僅可笑而且令人憤怒
我們的主題就是關于誰才是受害者
坦白的說
這些偏激的家長
和他們的高價律師都沒有意識到這點
因此 在萬聖節這個時候 用這個案子
一而再地對實際上被冒犯的人提出控訴
實在是很無禮的事
憲法第一修正案指出
每種群體的信仰都應該受到保護
我認為說得很對
但是事實上
法律並沒有很好的保護基督教徒的權力
也許由於他們處於強勢
所以我猜我們都認為他們能夠很好地保護自己
反過來一些很偏門的信仰
例如信奉基督教的科學家? 當然受到保護
基督教科學派? 可能吧
巫師? 這裏我不禁要問
是不是當人們認為一種信仰很荒謬的時候
就可以隨意對其進行取笑?
而由誰來決定其是否荒謬?
這個案子事實上是在探討寬容
無論是印度教在攻擊猶太教
或是穆斯林在反對基督教
又或者基督教徒批駁巫師
法律的出發點都是寬容
也許我是錯的
但是我不認為我們可以 冠”娛樂”之名
而行褻瀆之事
讓我在這裏引述Martin Niemoeller
一位德國反對納粹的新教牧師的話
"在德國 起初他們追殺共產黨人"
"我沒有說話 因為我不是共產黨”
"接著他們追殺猶太人”
"我沒有說話 因為我不是猶太人"
"然後他們追殺商會會員"
"我沒有說話
因為我不是商會會員"
"後來他們追殺基督教徒
我還是沒有說話 因為我是新教徒"
"最後他們直奔我而來"
"而這時候
已經沒有人能夠為我說話了" (出自波士頓猶太人大屠殺紀念碑碑文)
在戰爭中 任何戰爭 都避免不了有傷亡
對于一個烈士的家屬來說
因此而控訴軍隊
不僅是十分可笑的
而且是一種侮辱
首先 它破壞了
為國捐軀的士兵的
榮譽感
更有甚者 這是對愛國主義和軍隊本身的攻擊
他應征入伍 他受過戰鬥訓練
他清楚戰爭的風險
這場官司僅僅是試圖公然宣揚反戰情緒
它不分是非 它沒有根據
這是對每一個為了
保衛祖國而開赴前線
特別是對那些因此犧牲的
士兵和退伍軍人
的公然侮辱
首先 這不是反戰情緒
二等兵Elliot 是支持戰爭的
而我個人 我曾反對它 然後支持它
然後又反對它 但是這只是我個人行為而已
我是牆頭草
但是無論支不支持這場戰鬥
根據你的領帶 讓我們假設支持好了
都不能因此而默許軍方
向他們的士兵們撒謊
二等兵Elliot 被告知他只需服一年兵役
他被告知他不會參加戰鬥
好吧 盡管由於不可預期的因素
他參與了戰鬥 沒有關系
但是他在戰爭中得不到有效的支援
他被派往從事
一項他沒有接受過培訓的工作
他得不到最基本的補給
而他盡了自己的義務後
他們不讓他離開
他並不知道要承擔這種風險
過度延長役期 得不到良好的裝備
沒有接受過訓練 這些都超出了他的預期
而他現在犧牲了
除了他的姐姐 沒有人在意
我們常說要向我們的士兵表示敬意
難道這就是對我們犧牲的士兵
表示敬意的方式?
我們的孩子在那裏犧牲了
而他們的祖國 他們的同胞 還有媒體
我們就像什麼都沒有發生過一樣
我們可以花上一個月的功夫來討論謝維訟案 (關於是否該讓一個植物人安樂死的案子)
可是我們卻不敢放出士兵的遺體的畫面?
最多人收看的有線電視台
可以每晚花上一個小時時間
來關注一個阿魯巴島上失蹤女童 (阿魯巴島是位於拉丁美洲 安的列斯群島中的大島)
但是我們卻從來不關心
像二等兵Elliot這樣的孩子在戰爭中被殺害...
- 你離題了 - 我沒離題
我們有2,000 幼苗
在那裏的戰火中倒下
而我們甚至都不知道 不一定知道
也許我們根本就不想知道
我們的孩子犧牲了
所以我們應該慶幸這場戰爭並沒有被搬到熒幕上
我們看不到士兵們死在
他們隊友懷裏的畫面
在巴格達的街頭被炸飛
這樣的事情有上千起
而所有的美國民眾卻在關心
布拉德彼特和安吉麗娜茱麗是否結婚了
至少在越南戰爭的時候 我們都會關心 都會感到憤怒
這到底和二等兵Elliot的死有什麼關系?
二等兵Elliot 的死 部分是由於
我們民眾和政府的漠視
我們沒有為這場戰爭制定任何策略
我們也沒有撤軍時間表
某些士兵可能要在那裏呆上二十幾年
他們的父母必須要給他們送去防彈衣
因為軍隊不提供 然後他們被殺害了!
而我們 我們的國家就像旁觀者 任由其為之
我們根本就不在意 當然 除了她
她現在就在這個法庭裏面 緬懷著一位死去的士兵
這只是開始
我們在這裏討論的是公立學校裏的萬聖節慶典
作為公立學校 不能夠宣揚任何宗教信仰
但是它也不能夠詆毀任何信仰的信徒
沒有人可以不把這當回事 而確實
基督教徒 巫師 和其他團體
近些年來都受到壓迫
而這應該引起我們的重視
但是...
我們不應該把萬聖節看得太嚴肅
正如被告律師所說
萬聖節是一個傳統節日
而且重要的是 它是僅僅是一個節日
孩子們並不會把裏面的女巫當作是某種象徵
女巫只是一個能令他們盡情尖叫的角色
原告的控訴被駁回
萬聖節慶典可以繼續進行
同時我建議大家都放輕松點
別忘了萬聖節的真正意義
是糖果 休庭
- 我很抱歉 - 沒有關系
- 我們能理解 - 我想你們會的
- 謝謝你們 - 再見
- 我很抱歉 - 謝謝你
今晚的Samhain
這是我們對萬聖節的稱呼
在慶祝完後將會有一個女人的小集會
今晚是滿月
正是利用神的能量進行治療和恢復
的最好時機
很適合你 我會傳真地址給你
非常感謝你
你覺得我現在很不和諧嗎?
請起立!
戰爭是一場災難
美國在錯誤的預期下發起了它
政府不斷地被高級軍事顧問
告知 那兒需要更多的部隊
這些顧問被忽視了 甚至有些被解雇了
因此就形成了我們現在的局面
就像另一場越南戰爭的開端
除了 像Shore 先生所指出的
並沒有引起很大的關注
無論如何 我們都處於戰爭之中
而其中一樣讓軍隊在戰時能夠正常運作
的就是它所擁有的權威
令行禁止
這也就是國會賦予
軍隊訴訟豁免權的原因
Elliot 小姐 我為你和你的弟弟
感到深切的同情
但是...
我站在政府這一邊
此案撤銷
我希望至少有人聽見了你的呼聲
即使沒有 他們也許聽見了你的 謝謝你
那麼…再見
- 為什麼? - 什麼?
那麼我們是否可以再見呢?
我們輸了 如果這讓你感到好點的話
並沒有
任何一個真正愛著這個國家的人 Denny
都必須至少
對國家醜陋的一面有所瞭解
那裏發生那樣的事是為了
保証這裏不會發生同樣的事
我想我不贊同你的觀點 Denny
但是如果我們可以一直從
不同的聲音中得到啟發
那裏發生的事就決不會發生在我們身邊
我 我不認為
人們知道我們在扮什麼角色
也許我們要使用不同的口音
我向你保証 我不會評論你的穿著
我只是想要說…你很正點
試穿了一下
看上去不錯 懶得脫下來了
- 這不表示我原諒你了 - 明白
Denny 你穿粉紅色真可愛
- 我不會和你上床的 - 什麼都好
你再說一次我們的裝扮叫啥?
這叫做 呃
"我穿白色燕尾服很好看"
噢 不錯
謝謝你 我有對你說過這句話嗎?
你對Alan Shore 說過
- 什麼都沒對你說? - 沒有
你在想什麼?
這不是一個陷阱
難道我就不能有一點私人空間
保留一點自己的想法?
你忘了你在想什麼
我並不想假定這場仗
到底是好是壞Denny
但是毫無疑問這是一場復雜的戰爭
一場我們作為公民 作為愛國者
必須要瞭解的戰爭
你只需瞭解的東西是 讓我來打這場仗(官司)
- 我贏定了 - 那當然
你認為軍方會不會
讓兩只火烈鳥當兵?
你不問沒人會回答
我們Crane家族中大部分都屬於火烈鳥 (Crane原意為鶴科鳥類)
確實是的
