Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

Intolerable Cruelty is a delightful romantic comedy film directed by the Coen brothers in 2003. Set in the world of divorce law, the movie revolves around Miles Massey, brilliantly portrayed by George Clooney. He is a successful yet cynical attorney who falls for the intriguing gold digger, Marilyn Rexroth, played by the stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones. As their love-hate relationship unravels, it leads to a series of cunning twists and turns that keep the audience captivated.

This witty and fast-paced film also features an extraordinary supporting cast including Edward Herrmann, Geoffrey Rush, and Billy Bob Thornton. The talented ensemble, guided by the Coen brothers' sharp direction, brings the smart and sharp dialogue to life. With its clever plot, sharp humor, and charismatic performances, Intolerable Cruelty is a true testament to the Coen brothers' signature style.

A burglar broke in intending to loot the place, repented,
A gismo? He had a device he called The intruder.
A hundred and twenty nine thousand
A man whose name is synonymous with bitter disputes and big awards,
A map of enemy territory, so to speak. You said that he's a television producer?
A Martha Stewart catalog right next to the silver napkin rings?
A Massey prenup?
A sitting duck.
Absolutely.
Afraid to see people, afraid to put her portfolio into play.
Again I ask, have you any questions for the complainant?
Ah, yes, but is she richer than Mrs. Croesus?
All lies and jests
All right, Miles. Let me tell you everything that you need to know.
All right, tell Amstedler I’ll return in 20 minutes.
All right, you want fun and games? All right.
All right. Thank you.
And a cursory examination tends to support that it is, then...
And all of a sudden, the rules of the moral universe don't apply.
And as captain of the good ship Amore Veritas,
And as you are well aware, my previous marriage
And before your marriage, what was your profession?
And besides, I have you. It'll be fun, just the girls.
And causes diarrhea and facial tics!
And did she have any other specifications?
And do you, Marylyn Hamilton Rexroth Doyle,
And do you, Marylyn Rexroth, take Howard to be your shipmate and companion
And for you?
And form a lasting monogamous bond sanctified by ritual, it's pert near universal.
And have my lady friends come over and throw darts at it.
And hides all human feeling.
And I don't wanna stop 'cause it feels so darn good!
And I had a fair amount of success against the split T defense.
And I have a feeling that someday soon,
And I’m dead set against it. I mean, just anti the whole deal.
And I’ve nailed his ass fair and square.
And if not for your cool headed intervention,
And in love.
And let me tell you something, smart guy.
And look at him. He's 87 years old.
And Marylyn knows him.
And my wealth is completely, completely protected?
And now, we're all feeling just a little bit embarrassed by the whole thing, so...
And of course, we will have to litigate. Sentence, paragraph.
And only a peptic ulcer to keep her warm at night.
And she was a guest of the Red Trousers?
And tell Fred Armatrading that
And telling us, their friends,
And that's the address that she's staying at.
And then both parties will go home with their portion of the staple factory.
And then he had a prototype built out of the parts from our vacuum cleaner.
And then the entire process will find an equilibrium point
And this here deed that I’m fixin' to perform.
And this time, there'll be no Puffy von Espy.
And what does that job entail?
And what exactly is it we're partners in?
And what is your husband's profession?
And what, at that time, did she tell you she required?
And you've always loved him?
And, I take it, you deny.
And, Marylyn, he's no schnauzer.
And, yes, absent a swimming pool,
Anyway, three fine settlements.
Apparently, from what I can gather, a burglar broke into your house.
April, come she will
April, come she will
Are you renting kilts?
Are you Wheezy Joe?
Arthur had to fly to Atlanta for a deadbeat dad hearing.
Arthur Yardumian and his tax attorney want to reschedule their caucus for tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, it might be of some interest to you, being in a related business.
As for the sexual indiscretion which he imagined took place,
As if a lead veil had been drawn across it.
As our first order of business,
As the president of N.O.M.A.N. or as a member.
At Bad Gadesbourg in the canton of Uri.
At the preliminary hearing, he just looked so beaten.
At this point, I would think you're probably the only person
Baby, this is for you.
Barkeep, we'll have two of your finest scotches.
Barkeep! That's the soap that used to belong to...
Baron von Espy, what is your profession?
Based on the skill of the individual lawyers.
Became despondent over his lifestyle and shot himself.
Because of an impending legal matter,
Because their flame of love is guttering and threatens to die,
Because today, for the first time in my life,
Before her before, or before she sat before?
Before her before.
Bitch. That's my Daytime Television Lifetime Achievement Award.
Both parties will leave it with what they brought in and earned during.
Boy, I’m gonna nail your ass. Your ass. The old billionaire.
But a bottle of Bromo can't love you back.
But ever since I met Marylyn there, I can't seem to quit givin' her things.
But how could I trust you, Miles, after all this?
But how did you get Howard to do it? It felt like it was his idea.
But how do you determine which of the people on here are...
But I think my client is well beyond the point of considering...
But if the QB calls it, hell, I’m ready.
But not before her.
But of course, yes.
But remember that you're in an emotionally vulnerable state.
But the work will have to serve as its own reward.
But then he became more and more fixated
But then, I guess
But they knocked off that whole John D. routine
But today Marylyn and Howard are taking that leap
But you're going through with it?
But, madam, who is the real victim here? Let me suggest to you the following.
But, Marylyn, do we have a man for you.
But, Marylyn, this man is tuna.
But, no. No, I’m retaining Freddy Bender.
By the name of Marylyn Rexroth Doyle Massey... Smith Massey.
Bye bye, baby!
Cabin seven.
Can I say this? Wealths es of our various eligible guests.
Can you remember any specific request she made at that time?
Can't you hear the whistle blowin'
Careful. Rottweilers.
Cheesy bastard!
Chere Marylyn. But of course.
Christ, you seem to be taking it pretty good.
Christ!
Colleagues, when our clients come to us confused and angry and hurting
Consider this office your office, your haven,
Could I just borrow your charming fiancée for a moment?
Counselor! Freddy!
Cynicism, that cloak that advertises our indifference
Darling, you're exposed.
Dear God, Wrigley, how many cockamamie personal possessions do we have to amass?
Destroys love, destroys our clients, and, ultimately, destroys ourselves.
Devastated. Simply devastated.
Did she specify what kind of a husband she was looking for?
Didn't have time for breakfast this morning.
Dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your flattery.
Dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your flattery.
Do a down and in, and up and out and different things,
Do we counsel fear or trust? Do we seek to destroy or build?
Do we meet our clients' problems with cynicism
Do we seek to extinguish that flame
Do you know him? By reputation,
Do you really think we could put all this across?
Do you want some bones, huh? Does Elsbieta want some bones?
Do you want some bones? Does Elsbieta want some bones?
Do you, Howard Drexler Doyle, take Marylyn
Do you, Miles Longfellow Massey
Doctor, this is highly unusual.
Don't call me anymore for this penny ante shit.
Don't tell me. She sits around the house,
Don't try to bait me, Miles. Now if you have a proposal to make, let's hear it.
Donovan Donaly.
Donovan, please. Let's just all talk. I mean, I think...
Donovan!
Donovan?
Dump him. You can't nail his ass.
Eighteen granted.
Eighteen hundred billable hours.
Eighteen movements to void for respondent's prejudice.
Eighty five lunches charged.
Elsbieta.
Ended in an unjustified stain upon my reputation.
Even through its dissolution. Mrs. Gutman here,
Even your indigenous Americans, I believe it was your Cree, used to...
Everything goes to Marylyn.
Everything. Primary residence, beach house, ski cabin, auto, stocks, bonds, dental floss.
Except for two years when he was in the Navy in Southeast Asia.
Excuse me, Mr. Doyle.
Excuse me.
Explain this away, darling.
Family Court of the Fifth District of Los Angeles County now in session.
Few great accomplishments are achieved single handedly, Wrigley.
Finally, a man whom she could herself brazenly cuckold
Five hundred and sixty four summary judgments.
For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises
For developing and examining these photos of her address book.
For his special ed classes are truly justified, given the great strides...
For its relevance in the Chapman filing.
For my part, I've made the leap of love, and there's no going back.
For the groom to give his bride a gift on their wedding day.
For where a heart is hard, they make no battery.
Fourteen summary judgments sought.
Freddy Bender, this is Rex Rexroth. And you are the lovely Marylyn.
Freddy said she was flying in with him. Celebrating, I guess.
Freddy, we're all friends here. It’s a negotiation. Hey!
Freddy, we're all friends here. It’s a negotiation. Hey!
Freddy! Come on, Freddy! No fair!
Freddy.
Friends,
From the Los Angeles firm of Massey, Myerson, Sloan and Gurolnick,
From the mind of my dear Howard Doyle.
Funny, isn't it? We're frightened of this emotion,
George was so impressed, he hired him when he divorced his second.
Get that thing off me now!
Get that thing off me now!
Get Wrigley to look up Oliphant V. Oliphant, Commonwealth of Virginia,
Get yourself some clean scrubs, and have them prepare the OR.
Go, Rexie! Go, Rexie, baby!
God bless you all.
God.
Golly, the whole left side of his body is as useless as tits on a boar hog.
Gonna lose you.
Good day, Ollie. I’m great. You?
Good God. Talk about your oxymoron.
Good, sir.
Good.
Goodbye. You know, thank you so much.
Got three of those yard people.
Grandpa nearly had a stroke.
Gus, you outdid yourself.
Gus. Did you see any evidence?
Gym four times a week. Hour and a half, plus stretching.
Hair appointment in the morning. Afternoon?
Ham sandwich on stale rye bread. Lots of mayo, easy on the ham.
Hard...
Has anyone any bones?
Has anyone any bones? Hard, crunchy bones for the...
Has Mrs. Rexroth pursued the opportunities implicit in your arrangement?
He asked me to deliver the keynote address at this year's convention in Vegas.
He called it incipient communism, you know, and of course, that's when he had his stroke.
He did have a stroke, but that was later, during the labor activity in '52.
He got Phyllis Rumsey that cute little island of George's.
He has a soap opera, The Sands of Time. It’s a silly show.
He manufactures staples and industrial brad tacks. He's very successful.
He read your article about palimony settlements in same sex partnerships.
He tells me that Marylyn Rexroth Doyle is now richer than Croesus.
He's dead.
He's not an oil tycoon. An actor.
He's the first one into the office in the morning. No home life.
Hear that? Okay? No, no. No, no.
Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy! Problem?
Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy! Tenzing Norgay.
Hello, darlings.
Hello, Marge.
Hello?
Hello? Yes?
Herb, for the first time in my career, I don't know what to do.
Here Marylyn’s had me runnin' up and down Rodeo Drive all day long.
Here we are.
Here's the star of our show, Gus Petch!
Hey! Hey, hey. We didn't actually have sex.
His tantrum might have ended this schmo's life and ruined his own.
Hmm. Who owns that piece of shit van down there?
Hold on. Now here come the good part.
Hold on. Now here come the good part.
Honey? Honey?
Honey? My key doesn't work. Can we talk about this?
How charming. An aphorist.
How could I ever trust you again? I mean really trust you, Miles?
How many cases has Herb Myerson won?
How would you describe your husband's sexual proclivities?
How you doing, Donovan? How you doing, man?
How you say? A philanderer whose affairs would be transparent to the world.
Howard and I are here because I’ve learned through bitter experience
Howard D. and I are planning to marry.
Howard!
Howard? Mackenzie the Mechanical Marvel.
Howard's lawyers prefer it. I insist upon it.
I also happened to let him know that I was taking her out to dinner.
I always win.
I am curious about her visit of five years ago. January, 1 998.
I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told
I am mortgaged up to my heinie.
I am Mr. Smith. Thank you.
I am the concierge of Les Pantaloons Rouges
I assume you're a carnivore.
I can always tell, coming back from Vegas, who didn't win.
I can only assume.
I can't help it. You don't decide to become bored. It just happens.
I could have you disbarred for that.
I did it! It was I! I introduced her to that silly man!
I didn't expect the most beautiful woman I’d ever met.
I do.
I do.
I do. Yes. I do. I do.
I don't know what you're thinking, but I have to warn you,
I don't know. She has Rottweilers.
I don't see why my leadership skills should...
I don't sneak around sniffing the sheets. God damn it, I’m Gus Petch!
I doubt it. Tenzing Norgay was the Sherpa
I gave him an idea for a new show, so he made me a partner.
I got you. See this?
I guess without the prenup, it's something that even Freddy could manage.
I happened to let a man know that I was interested in her address book.
I have a new car. I have two new cars. I have a tab at the Mercedes dealership.
I have an appointment this afternoon with Rex and his schnauzer.
I have medication, but I can't take it before elective surgery.
I have some photos here of Miss Rexroth,
I have squandered my resistance
I have to admit, I don't like living alone. I mean, do I need 46 rooms?
I hereby declare the 12th Congress
I intend to have Freddy seek an injunction
I introduced her to that silly man.
I just felt so sorry for him for a minute there.
I know the feeling.
I know you're busy, and you charge by the hour, so I’ll get straight to the point.
I love you, man.
I love you. I mean, I love you like a son of a bitch!
I mean, think about it, man. A year without an erection?
I must say, for someone in your line of work, you don't exhibit a great deal of tact.
I need your attention for a minute. Stadium seat ass warmers?
I now pronounce you man and wife.
I really have to be going.
I satisfy such requests as the clientele may present.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I see. Baron, do you recognize that woman?
I think she bought it.
I thought he'd outgrown trains.
I thought that went well.
I trust you!
I wanna find her Norgay.
I wanna make sure that you both understand what it is you're asking.
I was a hostess for Braniff Airlines.
I was depressed, 'cause I’m impotent, you know.
I wish to execute a prenuptial agreement.
I wish to talk to you about something more important.
I wish to talk to you from the heart.
I wish to talk to you today not about technical matters of law.
I would be delighted, honored really, if you'd...
I would like to offer my congratulations. It was a beautiful gesture of Howard's.
I'd always picked him as some sort of deadbeat, but happy to be proved wrong.
I'll give you fun and games. Explain this away.
I'm gonna get it. I got it.
I'm gonna nail your ass. I'm gonna nail your ass.
I'm gonna nail your ass. Yeah!
I'm gonna nail your ass. Yeah.
I've been workin' on the railroad
I’ll do the talking. I know you'll be tempted to chime in,
I’ll get right on it. I’ll whip something up.
I’ll have the tournedos of beef. The lady will have the same. Thank you.
I’ll have Wrigley meet us at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather.
I’ll just have a salad, please. Baby field greens.
I’ll take care of you later.
I’ll tell you what you can do. You can act like a man.
I’m a lot like you. Just looking for an ass to mount.
I’m a patsy. I’m a sitting duck. I’m lost.
I’m as hard as a rock.
I’m goddamn pleased to meet you.
I’m going to allow it.
I’m going to allow it.
I’m going to marry again, nail the guy's ass good.
I’m gonna nail your ass.
I’m gonna nail your ass. I'm gonna nail your ass.
I’m having facial injections. That kills Friday and Saturday.
I’m not one of these cream puff, sit behind a desk private dicks.
I’m not proud of what I’ve done, but God knows, I did trust you once.
I’m not sick! You're the one who's sick!
I’m not sure that I actually follow that.
I’m sorry, Your Honor. I was just consulting with an associate.
I’m speaking with no knowledge. This is what Mr. Smith wants.
I’m telling you, honey, getting laid is financial Russian roulette.
I’ve been trying to nail George's ass for years, but he is so careful.
I’ve invested five good years in my marriage to Rex,
I’ve seen them come in here weep and wail like Baptists at a funeral.
If it is perceived to be dancing to the music of a hurdy gurdy!
In a month or so, once I’ve established that I’ve tried to make the marriage work.
In any firm, there can be only one ramrod.
In fact, destroys.
In the world of matrimonial law, there are multiple tactics.
In the world of...
In today's cynical world,
Independence. Two edged sword.
Interrupt for a second? Yeah.
Is it the kilt?
Is she armed? Give me a minute.
Is that all?
Is that one person?
It allows me to buttonhook and, you know,
It can't be executed after the parties wed.
It is a privileged to call to the podium our keynote speaker.
It was something he had the engineers at the factory design.
It was worth it.
It's a word we matrimonial lawyers avoid.
It's just a guy going door to door selling pool cleaner.
It's so hard to take that great leap of faith aboard the ship of love and caring.
It’ll be a small operation, a boutique firm.
It’s a challenge.
It’s about a job tonight. God damn it!
It’s for you.
It’s Howard. You see, I have no nerves.
It’s Mr. Smith's address. Although Mr. Smith is not directly involved.
It’s my gift to Howard for his peace of mind.
It’s not secondhand, Your Honor.
It’s not something I wanted either.
It’s quite a coincidence him dropping by, and you two knowing each other so well.
It’s the prenup.
It’s what they all fall back on when they don't have a prenup.
Jim says he wants a meeting today if possible.
Just bring him an iceberg lettuce and a mealy tomato wedge
Just door to door, Running low on chlorine? That kind of thing.
Just stay strong until the divorce is final.
Just to pass the time away
Kershner does not apply.
Kind of hit and run shoppin', you know. Take no prisoners.
Knock, knock. Excuse me. Mr. Donaly?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last time I will address you
Ladies, I’m not seeing anyone until I’ve finished nailing Rex's ass.
Ladies, if you'll excuse us. We have to talk.
Lance Kelso.
Le Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin 1990, sir.
Leave him alone!
Let me ask you this, what kind of a settlement do you seek?
Let me finish, please. I’m not concerned with who slapped whom first.
Let me finish. Jesus, have you never been married before?
Let me rephrase. Mrs. Rexroth, how high is that wall around your heart?
Let the record show that the Baron has identified Rex Rexroth as the silly man!
Lf I lied and cheated and was with Rex only for his money,
Lf this deal goes south, I am ruined. I will lose millions.
Lf you care to join me in my new endeavor, I’d be delighted.
Lf you could just give us another chance.
Lf you please, sir, not the larynx!
Lifecycle. Life step. Life circuit. Gus Petch don't pussyfoot around.
Like Rodney what's his name.
Like they hired me to prove their husbands weren't fooling around.
Liquidless gas that attacks the central nervous system
Look who is here. Hi!
Look, get yourself a new car.
Look, it's a no go. You get it?
Look, Marylyn, can't we have a civilized discussion about this?
Look, Miles, I think it's only fair to warn you that after a decent interval,
Look, now that the marriage is winding down,
Lost?
Love is good.
Love need cause us no shame. Love is...
Love, and trust, and not a thing else.
Love.
Makes you wonder about the entire legal system,
Man hater, huh?
Marylyn here, she says you're the best. Says you're aces.
Marylyn Rexroth is even now climbing her Everest.
Marylyn Rexroth wants to see you.
Marylyn, didn't last night mean anything to you?
Marylyn, listen to me. No arguments. No discussions.
Marylyn, shame on you.
Marylyn, think of me for a moment, not as an attorney but as a friend.
Marylyn, this is a moment to savor.
Marylyn, what a lovely surprise.
Marylyn, what a...
Marylyn, you must leave the house immediately.
Marylyn, you're welcome to examine this.
Marylyn.
Marylyn. How nice of you to...
Marylyn. When did she...
May I introduce Howard D. Doyle of Doyle Oil.
May, she will stay
Maybe I’m reckless.
Miles Massey? Of Massey Myerson?
Miles Massey.
Miles Massey. Please, sit. Relax.
Miles Massey's office. Hey, it's me. Any messages?
Miles, please.
Miles, that's...
Miles, why so angry?
Miles, you'll always be my favorite husband. But no more sentiment, darling.
Miles.
More landscaping.
More money than she could ever hope to spend.
More to the point, no wriggle room.
Most have their Norgays.
Mr. Donaly, excuse me.
Mr. Donaly. I need a name.
Mr. Massey has a point there. I’m going to allow it.
Mr. Massey, any questions?
Mr. Massey, the senior partner would like to see you.
Mr. Massey?
Mr. Massey.
Mr. Smith would like you to neutralize,
Mr. Smith.
Mrs. Donaly.
Ms. Rexroth. I am so delighted you decided to come.
My client asks that you not initiate proceedings
My client feels sufficiently dispassionate.
My client has ruled that out.
My client is prepared to entertain an amicable dissolution
My client is prepared to settle for 50% of the marital assets.
My friend... My best friend, Sarah Sorkin.
My motives were impugned. I was slandered in court.
Nail your ass!
Nail your ass! Nail your ass!
Naturally, the first concern for both parties is the welfare of little Wendell Junior.
Neither am l.
Nevertheless, we do question whether the continuing expenses
Nine hundred and ninety nine lunches charged.
No fault divorce. Two week divorce without a lawyer.
No further questions, Your Honor.
No go concerning Marylyn.
No maybes.
No one can profit from the marriage.
No one need be the wiser, so you can just go on home.
No, he never...
No, no. No go. No contract. It’s off. It’s...
No, that's not all.
No, they are not candies. Milk Bones. Hard, crunchy bones for the teeth.
No, you idiot. Not the Tenzing Norgay. Her Tenzing Norgay.
No, you should stay away from her, Miles.
No? Am I going too far here? Were his sexual... No.
No.
No. No, nothing doing until the ink is dry on the settlement.
No. Nothing so frivolous.
Not a good sign. And have you, yourself, exploited your understood freedom?
Not emotionally, of course. Just we couldn't keep our hands off each other.
Not in any way.
Not in court you can't. Has she retained counsel?
Not to blow my own horn, but they devote an entire semester to it at Harvard Law.
Not to worry, Mrs. Rexroth, you're ably represented.
Noted. Let me rephrase.
Nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Nothing?
Now I am, of course, aware
Now I’m going to have it stuffed, mounted,
Now you didn't ask me here to pick me up. You could be disbarred for that.
Now, a husband. That's an unusual request.
Now, Baron... Where were we?
Now, correct me, but since by now the ink must be dry,
Now, honey, it's like the padre said. I want love and trust between us.
Now, I know it's not common practice
Now, I myself went to Texas A&M. I’m an Aggie.
Now, is it my understanding that the Massey prenup has never been penetrated?
Now, Mrs. Gutman, you testified
Now, you listen to me. I’m gonna talk to you about the goddamn law.
Now? Night manager at McDonald's.
Objection, Your Honor! Strangling the witness!
Obscene wealth becomes you.
Of course. And your wife is aware and/or has evidence?

She said it was a cruise.
She said she wanted a very rich husband.
She said that she required a husband!
She said that she required a husband.
She signed a prenup for an oil millionaire.
She specificated a man who, though clever at making money,
She specificated a man with a wandering pee pee.
She specificated a silly man.
She wanted to know the businesses and the wealths es... The wealths es.
She was alone.
She won't... She won't suffer, will she?
She'd been dead for two days before her Pilates instructor found her.
She's a sitting duck. Can't kill her. No need.
She's gonna score some points concerning her husband's sexual politics.
She's here now.
She's not poor. She's richer than you.
She's rich. And I love her. Don't need to kill her.
Shit, did you see that?
Should your husband decide to take it that far.
Shrink. How's your Thursday?
Silly man. I am a baron.
Since first you met?
Sir, I am the concierge!
Six hundred and eighty billable at full attorney rate.
Smothered with French dressing.
So are we sure that this is what we want?
So have you argued before her before?
So he's selling pool cleaner now? Well, this is the neighborhood for that.
So how does it feel?
So it's just for the hunt with the trophy at the end?
So it's my desire to remove any trace of suspicion
So let us raise a glass to friendship.
So lonesome that I took some comfort there
So that I can massage the kinks out of our testimony.
So that we can sift through the smoldering wreckage for our paltry reward?
So the vacuum cleaner wasn't available to me for several months.
So who's Rex's guy? Miles Massey.
So why'd he lock himself in the den?
So you can't hope to benefit from the marriage?
So you caught me porking... Having relations with your old lady.
So you propose that, in spite of demonstrable infidelity on your part,
So, tell me,
So, Wrigley, I’m gonna be relinquishing my partnership in Massey Myerson.
So, you and Rex are...
Solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give
Something inside of me died
Something you won't understand, Miles. Howard and I are very much in love.
Son of a bitch Marvin Mitchelson.
Sounds like to me you gonna nail his ass.
Still you have to admire him for taking those pictures.
Stop him. Objection.
Struggle and challenge and ultimate destruction of your opponent, that's life.
Such requests that, were you at home, you would address not to your valet,
Sure. Rottweilers.
Surely, Mr. Massey, you've addressed enough juries
Take Marylyn Hamilton Rexroth Doyle to be your lawful wedded wife?
Take Miles Longfellow Massey to be your lawful wedded husband,
Tell me more about yourself.
Tell us, Baron, did you introduce her to such a man?
Tell Wrigley to prepare a filing to attach.
Tenzing Norgay. That's someone she slept with.
Terminate, render unto a state of, so that she isn't so much...
Than the one that addressed you last year
Thank you, Branco.
Thank you, Mrs. Rexroth.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks for the professional help.
Thanks.
That helped Edmund Hillary climb Mount Everest.
That I’m sure that I’ll be able to make it equally as transparent to any jury,
That is correct.
That is Mr. Smith's address. Massey's, Smith...
That these remarks will be received here with cynicism.
That they do believe, that they do have faith, that they do love.
That was Marvin Untermeyer. He was Rex Rexroth's personal attorney.
That when it comes to matrimony and law, you are the very best.
That would forbid you to approach within 500 feet of my house.
That you were your husband's sexual slave for 36 years during your marriage.
That's her job. You should respect that.
That's his lawyer.
That's my bloody Jag!
That's my bloody Jag!
That's my Jag! That's my Jag!
That's not criminal.
That's the problem with the institution of marriage. It’s based on compromise.
That's what I’m after.
The actor? From a TV producer. I think you know him.
The Deuce, we called him. You know, kind of the rebel of the family.
The dog's rented.
The government stepped in. They called it mediation.
The Honorable Marva Munson presiding. All rise.
The judge sits in judgment. The counsel argues before the judge.
The Massey prenup provides that in the event of a dissolution of the marriage,
The O'Flanagan settlement?
The point is that he acted upon an assumption which he cannot prove,
The presence of a pool man would appear to be suspicious.
The red faced angry one. I introduced them!
The tennis pro?
The truth is so self evident to me, Mrs. Donaly,
The vows are from an Arapaho dawn greeting ceremony.
Then he shouldn't have to give me any.
Then why are your letters addressed to him, Dear, David and Goliath?
Then, by the power vested in me by the State of California,
There it is! I got it!
There you go.
There's a certain point when you've achieved your goals.
There's a lady, a young lady. She lets me be myself.
These encounters were videotaped. Sometimes there would be a gismo.
They bought Massey's argument.
They got a hell of a school up there. Ain't no doubt about it.
They never grow up, lady. They just get tubby.
Thirteen granted.
This divorce means money. Money means independence.
This firm cannot prosper, nor long endure
This here is for you, baby. Every last little speck of it.
This is a silly misunderstanding. I'm gonna nail your ass.
This is direct testimony about the Baron's own conversation.
This is for you, darling. This here is for you.
This is the Massey prenup.
This most precious flame, back into loving, roaring life?
This'll be nothing short of a complete and total annihilation.

Three hundred and twenty billable hours paralegal services.
Through gale and doldrum, seas choppy, wild, and calm?

Twelve court days on the Rexroth case alone.
Twelve hundred twenty one motions to void.
Uh huh.
Unable to achieve an erection.
Until such time as she might choose to...
Wait a minute, darling. Do we actually have a swimming pool?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We did very well. We did very well.
We donated that Doyle building up there here a while back.
We feel that...
We gonna make you laugh. We gonna make you cry.
We have bellmen for that. No, no, no.
We need this to happen within a certain time frame.
We probably need a new filter around about now. Maybe...
We serve the law! We honor the law!
We serve the law! We honor the law!
We should order.
We started out at this little old place
We tell him it's a no go.
We think it's very generous.
We tried to reach Freddy Bender to have him here for your protection,
We would say, Faire un coup de marteau sur des fesses.
We'll attend to the dog later.
We'll need to caucus again to draw up a picture of your husband's net worth.
We'll settle your contract later. Look, you're fired, pal. Let it go. Walk away.
We'll take a couple of vacuum hoses.
Well, as my private investigator put it, We're gonna nail his ass.
Well, at first, he was a very gentle and tender lover.
Well, at this point, my client is still prepared to consider reconciliation.
Well, don't look at mine.
Well, he's the tennis pro at the club.
Well, honey, let me just...
Well, Howard is a beautiful person. A diamond in the rough.
Well, I suppose that congratulations are in order.
Well, I'm glad he finally got himself a job.
Well, I'm here to tell you that that cynicism which we think protects us,
Well, I’m free this evening, so I suppose a little dinner would do no harm.
Well, I’m very sorry to hear that, but you two weren't close, were you?
Well, if this indeed is a Massey prenup,
Well, if you'll pardon me here,
Well, is that possible?
Well, it'll be yours soon. Thank you very much.
Well, let's get right down to it, then, shall we?
Well, my wife has me between a rock and a hard place.
Well, okay. You gonna leave a deposit?
Well, one has to live.
Well, she deserves every penny. And now she's single again.
Well, thank you, Miles. You know, the urge to wedlock
Well, thanks, but I’m going on business.
Well, that makes no sense. Why else would you put in all those years?
Well, that's the problem. I can't afford to give her anything.
Well, today Miles Massey is here to tell you that love need cause us no fear.
Well, tomorrow won't work. I’m having a body wrap. How's Wednesday?
Well, we're here representing Mr. Smith on a matter of some delicacy.
Well, with my money, I can't afford to be fooling around.
Well, yeah, I know that sounds a little rough,
Well...
What are they, ladles? Berry spoons.
What are you after, Miles?
What are you talking about telltale signs? Look, I see an ass, I nail it.
What are you up to?
What are you, nuts? Have you forgotten Kershner?
What did you call me?
What did your lawyer say?
What do they have in common?
What do we do? What if he's on his way there?
What do you think?
What do you want?
What is it?
What the hey, man? I mean, I know it's a drag and all, but these things...
What then?
What was that? Rex Rexroth?
What was that? Rex Rexroth?
What was your performance about this afternoon?
What?
What's the matter, Rexie?
Whatever they're paying you, I’ll double.
Wheezy Joe, thank God you're in time.
Wheezy!
When God is dead, all things are possible.
When I first met Marylyn, we were crazy about each other.
When I realized that you'd hired a goon to kill me.
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
When they christened little old yours truly here.
Where did you find Howard?
Whether or not he's worried about it at this moment.
Which is, in a sense, the seed of our livelihood.
While we're dreaming, why not 1 50%? Are you familiar with Kershner?
Whilst I don't find this terribly amusing, I am delighted that you found this material.
Whistles go toot toot.
Who gets what, and who gets who?
Who needs a home when you have a colostomy bag?
Who sent you?
Whoever loved that loved not at first sight?

Why don't you come out to Malibu and see my new beach house tomorrow?
Why kill the only woman you've ever loved when she's the richer party?
Why only 50, Freddy? Why not 1 00?
With Rex.
Without it, that party is exposed, a sitting duck.
Would be easily duped and controlled.

Yes, I can.
Yes, I do, Father Scott.
Yes, we were adversaries, but we were also professionals.

You'll be walking out of my life forever.
You'll find out on America's Funniest Divorce Videos.
You're bored, complacent, and you're on your way down.
