That’s right, Your Honor. The AUSA is trying to use what he knows about my situation I.e. knocking me up. To his advantage.

[queer-is-the-universe]

Well, then I’d like a ruling, Your Honor.

[queer-is-the-universe]

Uh, the birth date is scheduled for May 22. I’ll be back at my desk on May 25, having missed only three work days, none of which are in court. All medical appointments will be before 9:00 a.m. All at-home child care is lined up. I’m not asking for, nor do I need, any special allowances. I can and will continue my full workload.

[queer-is-the-universe]

And this is my partner in crime, Adrian Boseman.

[queer-is-the-universe]

Diane: Your Honor, could you point out what Mr. Boseman should do differently?

Judge: Excuse me?

Diane: What is he doing that he should do differently?

Judge: He should stop playing to the jury.

Diane: Should he stop looking at the jury?

Judge: That is not what I'm saying.

Diane: Should he remain seated?

Judge: [SIGHS] No. He knows what he's doing.

Diane: Your Honor, what Mr. Boseman is doing is being an effective advocate for our client. You are asking him to change his behavior without telling him how to change, so I-I must object.

Judge: To what?

Diane: To your order that Mr. Boseman stop effectively representing our client.

Judge: That is not what my order requires.

Diane: Well, then you sustain our objection?

Judge: No.

Diane: Well, then I'd like a ruling, Your Honor. To quote a lawyer that I respected, "I want a ruling that I can appeal."

Judge: Well, then try this one on for size. Overruled.

Diane: Thank you, Your Honor.

Judge: You two have a winnable case here. I don't know why you're doing everything you can to lose it.

Diane: Because you're trying to tie one hand behind our back. And the jury is going to know that. Is there anything else, Your Honor?

Judge: Yes. Get out.

Diane: Thank you.

Adrian: Wow. I thought I was the troublemaker.

[DIANE CHUCKLES]

[queer-is-the-universe]

So, let me tell you why I’m here. Franz, please, sit, sit. 

[queer-is-the-universe]

Diane: Have they asked you to come back on?

Adrian: This week. I told them no.

Diane: Maybe you should reconsider. You know what Gore Vidal said.

Adrian: Mm-mm.

Diane: Never pass up a chance to have sex or appear on television.
